2WW

[ANP2020]

Hello ladies!

I’ve been reading these threads (at all hours clearly!) I just wondered if anyone was currently in their 2WW and wanted to join me? It’s so long!! I’m ttc number 2, have a 4 year old son, fell first time with him luckily so certainly not expecting the same this time round. This is our first cycle. I’m only using an app not any ovulation sticks so not sure how many days po I am, but According to app fertile window ended yesterday. AF due 21st I only have 24/25 day cycles since coming off my pill.

Anywhoo no symptoms yet as too early! I’ve had ovulation cramps and a few nights of very intense dreams. I think the only symptoms I can remember pre bfp with my son was really really sore boobs, couldn’t bare a bra on!! And really tired.

Please people join me to symptom spot and keep each other company during the 2WW.

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing oh no!! Sorry she showed
I'm feeling very meh today, as after the BFP on the digital yesterday it's now showing a negative

Hey guys. Got another squinter yesterday with smu on an IC but nothing today. Also had like the teeniest bit of spotting this morning and some cramping on one side.
I think I may be out 😮‍💨

Hey guys!!

Sorry I’ve been MIA I’ve had a massive uni portfolio in plus working full time has literally killed me off! On the plus side the end is near with hand in on the 31st! I’ve been having a bit of a catch up!
@Amyhal13 congrats on the driving test!! Have u been out on the road since?
Sorry for all the ladies that AF came! Hit me hard this am so really feel for you all!
How is everyone?

So update for me, you can literally hear me rattling with all the vitamins I’m taking haha! However I do feel very bright and energised!!

So AF ended last Sunday, for those of you who remember I have short cycles of 24/25 days! Last month was gutting as I ovulated on CD 16 but AF arrived on CD 24 so only 8DPO so I was worried about a short luteal phase hence all the vitamins!

Well ladies good news this month (I think 🤣) I started doing CB digital ovulation testing the day after AF and kept getting the blank circle, then yesterday was hit with the solid smile- so likely ovulating today! Which means AF isn’t due for 14/15 days which means a normal luteal phase plenty of time to implant 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I’m really chuffed BUT I wasn’t expecting ovulation so early and because of not even one flashy smiley we hadn’t dtd! So we got static yesterday but had people round so finally dtd late last night, will again today and tomorrow and just hope for the best 🤞🤞
Trying to remain calm and not get carried away with testing is the focus of this month 🤣

@ANP2020 so pleased to hear your ovulating earlier this month, how exciting! It’s giving my positive vibes for you, this could be the month 🤞🏻

@smiles39 thanks so much! I have everything crossed and feeling optimistic as I always do at this point 😂! Definitely in with a good shot this month at least!! Not like last month! X

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing sadly ended up in A&E on Saturday and have had a chemical, gutting but not surprising after the negative on Friday. Yesterday was incredibly heavy bleed-wise and lots of clots so pretty rubbish timing trying to have a nice day for my Mum (who doesn't know we're TTC)!
Hopefully my body will recover quickly enough to try again soonish

@ANP2020 good news on the positive ovulation - so great seeing that static when you don't have the 'perfect' cycle!! Hope you managed to DTD yesterday to boost your chances

@alwaysseeingstars I’m so
So sorry to hear about your chemical, I hope your ok? Big hugs!

So far (you know the whole of been 2dpo 🤣🤣) I’m feeling relatively calm and balanced! Not started obsessing too much yet about when to test! Hopefully I can make it past the 7dpo I started testing last cycle ha!

@ANP2020 thanks for the hugs, appreciated! Feelings keep going up and down on it all but hopefully won't create any issues going forwards, sadly it sounds incredibly common. To be fair if I hadn't tested at 12/13DPO I wouldn't have even known as I have irregular cycles anyway!

Ooh good luck with the wait, fingers crossed!! Have you tried setting yourself a date to test (one that is safely late enough haha) and tried to stick to it? If it's pretty far out if you test 'early' you may then still be in with a chance to be late enough to get a BFP

@alwaysseeingstars so sorry about your chemical.

I’m 7dpo today. 😬 Haven’t tested yet as I feel no symptoms so I’m sure it’s nothing.
I started clomid this cycle and had some cramping (and bloat, painful boobs) in the first few days after ovulation, but none since. 😬 So I lost hope and will most likely refrain from testing until AF shows which I’m sure it will. We’ve been ttc over a year now!

Hi all. I have some sad news, I had some spotting two weeks ago and had an early scan but had to wait two weeks. Was told on Sunday that baby stopped growing at 6.5 weeks with no heart beat (should have been 8.5 by then) and was a confirmed miscarriage. I’ve just had a surgical procedure and going to take some time to recover physically and emotionally - I am devastated - and then will think about what we want to do next.

Oh gosh @Annapolis35 I am so sorry, sending lots of love. Please look after yourself physically and mentally xx

@Annapolis35 I’m so sorry massive hugs! I can’t even begin to imagine how your feeling! I get lots of rest and take your time, we’re all here for you x

How is everyone? I’m 4dpo this 2WW is feeling longer than normal! I’ve felt SO SICK today on and off! With some cramping! Don’t normally get any nausea BUT I’ve had a massive piece of uni work due in today and it’s been close to the wire (All in now) but I’m wondering if it was anxiety about the assignment as opposed to anything pregnancy related considering how early it is! Other than that everything else feeling normal!! X

Hey girls
So I had a bleed round about my AF time so assumed I was out. But it only lasted 2 days which I found odd. I have taken 3 tests today and they all have this almost invisible line that I'm not sure even the camera is seeing but I can see with naked eye. My temps are low but only after this bleed has stopped and still not as low as usual. I'm honestly not sure what to think.

@D0nd361u I can see what you mean! It’s catches my eye when I open the pic, but when I zoom in I can’t see it! When did you take these today? 🤞🤞🤞 it gets darker and was implantation!!

So I’m coming to the end of 6dpo! My cm hasnt dried up it’s still really wet! Not proper egg white but still some of it stretchy and some like water!

I’ve also had nausea for three days and dizziness on standing for the past 2! Today is the first day I’ve felt properly tired and thought I could just go back to bed!!

All that been said I’m just not sure this month! I feel like I can explain the symptoms away! I’ve had a massive assignment due in last Thurs plus working full time so of course I’d be tired!! It’s probably just caught up with me today properly! Dizziness Im probs getting up too quickly and not drinking enough water! I think I’m just prepared to see a blank negative test!

Still can’t decide when to test though!!! Not tomorrow as I’m working but Monday I’m day off and I’d be 8dpo I feel it’s too early but not sure I’ll be able to resist if I’m off all day

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing 🤣🤣 have u given up on those then or u going to stick with them?? I’ve really found omega 3 helpful thin month in generally how I feel! Let me know what u try! I might take inspiration

Yeah @thebloodycatwontstopmeowing I know what you mean it’s so expensive! Have you tired acupuncture? I’ve read a lot of women try that successfully?

Please can I join? According to my Ovia app I'm 6DPO. I have PCOS and my previous Pregnancies have all ended in early losses. My 4th Pregnancy I had a feeling of fullness in my boobs which also really really hurt as well. I had pains around my left kidney which I thought was an infection but a urine sample came back clear and then a week or so before testing positive I had a crampy sensation and I also went totally off chocolate. Sadly we lost that Baby at 9 weeks. This time I have sore boobs but not constant. I feel nauseous, have a crampy feeling in my lower tummy and last week had a pinchy pulling feeling in my left side plus a few vivid dreams. Part of me isn't holding out much hope though. My OH is a Truck driver so we were only able to DTD once which was 5 days before ovulation. Another part of wonders if the pinching last week was because I'd ovulated later then Ovia has predicted. I did stupidly cave and test this morning which of course was a BFN. My 4th one I didn't test until my period was a week late. However my periods are now all over the place and I can often go 3 months without having one. Time is also on our side. I'll be pushing 40 in a few years time and my OH will be 55 in July.

@HopingForMyRainbowBaby of course!! Welcome! Sorry to hear about your loss! I’m hoping those symptoms sound positive! It’s still early! How r u today?

So thought I’d update. I’m 8dpo today practically 9 now 🤣. I decided yesterday I could keep wasting FRER between them and the clearblue opks it was costing me a fortune! So bought some internet cheapies they arrived today at 11:30 so I tested not FMu and not even a hold really! A stark white bfn of course! If I stare at it and analyse it long enough I can see a slight line but deffo just the test indent I think!
This cycle I’ve felt differently not that that means anything but been more gassy! And the tiredness 😱 I slept in till 09:00 this am I’m normally a 6am ish natural riser! Then I went for a nap! Then I’ve still been knackered! I didn’t feel refreshed at all from any of my sleeps! Wether I’m just having a bad day I’m not sure!
Then I’ve had such a bad headache! Not been able to shift it all day no matter how much water I drink or even with paracetamol!
My cm was milky white yesterday but not much at all today! Boobs are normally really hurting by now before AF but nothing which is weird! So I don’t know really if it means anything or I’m just overthinking!

@ANP2020 Thank you. If I have ovulated on time I'm now 7DPO I don't track. In fact out of all the ovulation tests I've done I've only ever had one positive and that one definitely didn't result in a Baby cos I'd just waved my OH off before I'd realised today I've felt as sick as anything, being arsey and weepy, my boobs have hurt and now my nipples sting and I've had lower back and lower stomach cramps. I've also had what feels like ovulation pains again so god knows. Weirdly I haven't had any discharge bar one lot that was an orangey colour. Other than that nothing there although it feels like I have tons up there but when I wipe its dry. The thing is I don't remember actually having any last time either until I'd actually gotten my positive Pregnancy test. I just wish I could remember my exact symptoms from my 4th Pregnancy cos then I might have some idea what's going on, but all Ovia tells me is the day we DTD. Oh and yep I also caved and did a test when I finished work. Couldn't be any whiter if it tried! I know it's far too early but I just had that little glimmer of hope I was one of those lucky ones who gets a BFP mega early on. I think it's harder not knowing for another week due to my job as well and part of me is anxious about causing potential harm but I can't exactly say I may or may not be Pregnant so can I go onto easier calls please but oh btw I can't officially test until next week. They'd laugh me right out of the office

Well @HopingForMyRainbowBaby I’ve done a test at 9dpo again this am and BFN! I also long to me one of those lucky ones! Don’t know why I do it to myself because I now feel all deflated and like I’d just like to lie in bed and nope! I know it’s still early etc! But with my first preg I found out early so feel this means I’m out! Argh this journey is so hard 😭
