Anyone else starting 2WW today?

[LittleMrsMama]

So the 2WW begins! I know there are a few threads on here but wanted to start one with people that ovulated around the same time so hopefully we'll be getting some BFPs together!

So I'm driving myself a bit crazy.
Spotting has all but stopped, last two liners were clean, only the tiniest of brownish discharge when I wipe.
Still feel queasy but AF hasn't arrived. With the spotting starting Wednesday, I would have expected AF to have arrived by now. I keep going to the loo every 15 minutes to see.
Bloating has gone too, which normal doesn't until CD2.

I have my 2-5 bloods booked for tomorrow lunchtime (fully expecting AF to have arrived yesterday/overnight), so if AF doesn't arrive today will have to amend.

Haven't POAS. If it is implantation, then won't show for a few more days.

AF should have been due Monday, but I have been having some unusually shorter cycles the last 6 months.

Welcome everyone! I don't drink caffeine or much alcohol anyway, but I hadn't even considered stopping exercising was a thing... Is it a thing?

Coming up to one week now into two 2WW and hoping next week will go quicker.

We lost one of our pets this week, he was PTS, and I could really do with some good news.

Hi I'm pregnant now and took about 7 proper cycles of tracking etc. I'm a runner.

I got pregnant on the month I stopped running. I did a lot of other things too like quit caffeine, alcohol, stressing.
So could be just a coincidence with running but I wanted to put zero hardships on my body, and make it a dream environment for conception

@AmberRH1993 not sure I can see much there but it might be stronger in person! I was sure I was getting period cramps earlier but now I feel like they've eased off again...why is my body doing this to me?!

@mrssamrowley you know when you have a gut feeling that something is there 😅 when is your AF due?

I'm so relieved it's not just me who has tested a bit early!!! I was wondering whether I had jo self control but makes me feel loads better knowing it's normal!

Sorry @AmberRH1993 I'm the worst as spotting these lines, I can't see anything but if your gut is telling you it's there then worth getting a FRER. I think 7DPO would probably be a bit soon to show up though but not impossible!!!

@pinkpirlie that sounds really confusing! I hope the bloods go well and you get the answers you need. Sounds like it could be either implantation bleeding or AF but hope it's the first for you!!

Omg am I going crazy? Can you see a line?!! No FRER in the house to check! Might have to pop out and get some

@LittleMrsMama

I see that line!!

Ah so glad it's not just me @AmberRH1993 although it's too early and the line is too faint for me to get excited just yet. Have got some FRERs so will try to hold out as long as I can before testing again. Knowing me probably tomorrow morning 😂🤦‍♀️

Yeah definitely try with fmu! I did another strip this evening and put it up against a LH for comparison... I'm still sure I can see it 🤞🏻 got some frers coming tomorrow and I know it's early but I need some harsh reality 😂

@AmberRH1993 well the app says I'm not due until the 26th but as I ovulated a couple of days later than it thought I would it's just extended the length of my cycle if that makes sense? But I'm actually CD28 today and usually have cycles around that length so I reckon I'm actually due sometime today/tomorrow. Did a test this morning and BFN and have off and on cramps so think I'm out this month. Only 1st month trying to can't complain but really thought we'd got it this month and I find TTC so stressful that I really hoped we had!

I can see a hint of a line next to your lh test...fingers crossed it gets stronger!

@LittleMrsMama looks like a line to me too! Eek so exciting!

@mrssamrowley sorry to hear that you think AF is on her way... It isn't over until it arrives 💪🏼 hoping she keeps away for you 🎉
Yes it's still early though only 7/8 dpo so let's see...

@AmberRH1993 I definitely see something straight up from the line on your LG, a slightly darker patch but it's so hard to see these faint lines on a photo. I found the same when trying to photograph mine.

@MrsSamRowley it's so stressful ttc isn't it? And very tiring! It feels like a week and a bit TTC and being shattered then 2 weeks waiting and then AF arrives and it's a week of disappointment :( sorry to hear you're probably out this month, it's not over until AF arrives!!!

Getting pregnant is such a rollercoaster! BFN today (10DPO), I changed the contrast of the photo from yesterday and there is a definite faint line but must have been evap ☹️

@littlemrsmama I don't see how the test from yesterday can be an evap.. Its so strong 😕 its not over yet... What happens if you change the contrast from today's??

Work has been extra busy so I’ve not been keeping up with everyone’s progress. I hope the 2ww isn’t too horrid for everyone.

I had something very strange happen this morning. I tested at 9/10dpo today at 5am on a free and a very, very faint line came up within the time frame. I rushed back to show my husband who can’t see very well without his glasses, but he could see it without them. We then went back to sleep and then when we woke up, the line had disappeared :( almost like the opposite of an evap line. Some Googling shows that this can happen with a positive and just to test again in a couple of days but my mind is now unable to stop thinking about it.

Is it bad that I hope that if my period does start it happens today so I can have a glass of wine tonight? Been abstaining just in case!

@mrssamrowley Not bad at all. Sounds pretty understandable to me.

@Denguin this is all the support I need!

@AmberRH1993 glad it's not just me that was confused. Absolutely no line when I did a contrast of this morning's tests :( any luck with yours?

@Denguin that is strange! Maybe you could try a 4hr hold and do the test again? I don't think generally the lines should fade away, I know people that have kept their pregnancy tests for years after using and the line is still there, but doesn't mean you're not pregnant, maybe just too early?

@MrsSamRowley absolutely not bad at all, AF coming is definitely cause for a glass of wine or two

@LittleMrsMama yes, it’s really odd. I’ve ordered some more frer to come today as my other tests are not as sensitive so do not want the disappointment of a negative. The examples I have read where the same thing has happened to other people have led on to them having positives but I’m trying not to get my hopes up too much. I am on cd35, my cycles are usually 29-31 days. I’ve been having none of my usual af symptoms just very fatigued, heart burn and some on and off cramps but this could be nothing. It’s our fourth cycle of trying to conceive for the first time.

@LittleMrsMama I did my cheapy strip this morning and I'm sure there's a faint line again. My frers have arrived and been on a 3 hour hold so let see in a bit. I'm not holding out hope as it's still very early at 7/8dpo. What do you think...

BFN on the frer but AF isn't due until 28th so still very early.

Just been casually browsing my Femometer app and I ovulated on CD19 this month so that means I'm only on day 9 of the luteal phase so surely too early for AF or a positive test? Or am I clutching at straws? I'm on CD28 and normally my cycles are 27-29 days but as I only ovulated 9 days ago maybe this one is longer?? Who knows - this is all so confusing!

As far as I know, luteal phase will always be 14 days give or take a day either side. Hence why if you ovulate late, you should expect your AF late too. Once I input my ovulation day in my apps, it pushes AF due date back to exactly 14 days later.

Maybe there's still hope for me then!
