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.

@whymewhyme sorry it was a bfn, when is af due?

My heavy feeling in womb is turning to slightly crampy. Wish I could focus on something other than my uterus.
Infact I really wish I didn't notice we had unprotected sex around ovulation time and either just got af as usual or realised with the absence of af.

It's making me realise just how much I want another baby, but it's not really practical so I know I shouldn't actively try to get pregnant so this is kinda like last chance. I might buy some internet cheapies and start testing towards end of the week I think I need to see the bfns to get over it. I know I'm unlikely to be pregnant and the sooner I let go of it the better - sorry for the rambling 😢

whymewhyme · 14/02/2022 13:30

It really is all consuming.

AF was due yesterday, onwards and upwards

Wheresmycustard · 14/02/2022 13:42

@whymewhyme ah was it. I hope it changes for you if not then hopefully af comes soon so you can move onto next month🤞

AliceS88 · 14/02/2022 18:28

AF arrived today - what a cow 😂

KSAM · 14/02/2022 20:04

@whymewhyme what test did you use?

I'm due on tomorrow and desperately clutching at straws googling implantation bleeding like a maniac when in reality I know it's AF rearing it's ugly head 😂

ANP2020 · 14/02/2022 21:24

@whymewhyme sorry it was BFN 😩 but not out till AF appears!

@Wheresmycustard I totally get this! It’s all consuming and really makes you want something more as you let your mind dare to wonder!! I do envy those people who don’t realise till AF is missing and then deal with it then, missing out this emotional rollercoaster!!

@AliceS88 sorry AF arrived! Everything crossed it happens soon for you!!

@KSAM really hoping AF doesn’t appear!! Let us know!

Sorry for BFN and AF arriving.

Im not due until the end of the week. But already feel like I'm out.
Started getting a crampy feeling and sore lower back. Last month AF came CD23 which is tomorrow.

If it does come the booster shot really has messed up my cycle since I got it, I haven't had my normal 27 day cycle since.

KSAM · 14/02/2022 21:55

@ANP2020 thank you 🤞

@HellsBellsK fingers crossed AF doesn't appear for you 🤞 funnily enough my cycles have been out since I got my booster, usually 28 days but was 24 days the cycle after my booster which is a first for me, and I'm expecting AF to show any day now currently on CD24. Like TTC isn't hard enough without our cycles being off 🙄

Wheresmycustard · 14/02/2022 22:44

@AliceS88 sorry you af arrived, good luck for next month.❤️
@KSAM hope and doesn't arrive, will you test if it doesn't come tomorrow?

Thanks @Anp2020, i really want this cycle to be other with. I think I know deep down I won't be but won't lose hope I will be til I know for sure.

smiles39 · 15/02/2022 07:06

Sorry to hear of the BFN and AF arrivals. We need some good news on this thread, surely someone has to be PG!

Still another week before AF is due, I don’t feel any different and definitely waiting until very end of month to test if it doesn’t arrive.

Who’s testing in next few days?

SkeletonSkins · 15/02/2022 07:39

BFN for me this morning but I’m only 8DPO so tired be expected. Bit more brown bleeding so fairly sure AF is on tbe way to be honest.

ANP2020 · 15/02/2022 08:17

Morning ladies! So I couldn’t resist and tested early today with an FRER! It’s still too early as AF not due till Monday so 7 days early! Not sure how many dpo as don’t opk! But it was a BFN! I tested because yesterday my cramps and womb felt so heavy and I’m sure my boobs have doubled in size! I have big boobs anyway but since DS and Bf have looked a bit “lifeless” shall we say! But I swear they look fuller! I think my mind may be playing cruel tricks on me!
Anywhoo I’ll test again tomorrow morning but it is deflating but at the same time I can’t not test! Oh I need to just know haha! The longest two weeks ever!

@SkeletonSkins when is your AF due?

@HellsBellsK 🤞 for more regular cycles again! We really can’t keep
Up when they change every month! Like you say just another stress!!

smiles39 · 15/02/2022 08:18

@SkeletonSkins sorry 😞 at least there’s still a chance before AF arrives, fingers crossed.

I wrote my last comment before I got out of bed. I feel exhausted (could mean nothing as I often feel knackered at end of a half term of teaching) but I also feel very spaced out and dizzy, just eaten something to see if it’s low blood sugar.

Now I’m getting my hopes up but seems to soon 8DPO to be getting symptoms. Also realised I’m going to HAVE to test before holiday because I forgot I had the spa booked! Don’t want to be going into saunas if I am PG.

So I will test on the weekend 🤞🏻 I’ll be 14DPO by then.

QueenBee22 · 15/02/2022 08:48

@SkeletonSkins BFN for me this morning too.

I'm devastated. 10DPO. DTD loads and tracked my cycle and got a peak OPK. Don't know what else I could have done. On the verge of tears here at work this morning but I have to move on and try again next month.

Good luck to everyone who has yet to test. Fingers crossed for you all and hoping to see good news here soon.

Annapolis35 · 15/02/2022 09:01

Hi ladies
I hope you don’t mind me joining in. I’m on month 2 ttc for first child, and 7dpo. due AF 20th or 21st Feb. I’m currently getting a heavy feeling the last couple of days, but nothing otherwise. This isn’t really unusual for me to get that feeling around now in a normal cycle and I reckon AF is on her way, but it is disheartening. I’m not testing and just waiting to see if my period turns up or not. Positive vibes!

D0nd361u · 15/02/2022 09:06

Sorry to hear of all the Negatives so far, fingers crossed for next month.
So I had some random spotting last night, still got at least 5 days before my AF so not sure what that's all about. Don't want to test yet as Im not sure how many days post ovulation i am.

SkeletonSkins · 15/02/2022 11:10

@ANP2020 I think AF is due Friday/Saturday but I’m not always totally regular so hard to be sure. I’m going to test again on Thursday I think.

Sorry to hear about aboit BFN @QueenBee22, it’s so frustrating isn’t it. I think you’ve still got a chance though as lots don’t get a positive till 12/13dpo.

Wheresmycustard · 15/02/2022 11:30

@D0nd361u oh spotting 5 days before af due could be implantation. Really hope it is🤞🤞

KSAM · 15/02/2022 12:53

@Wheresmycustard I'm so sick of seeing negative pregnancy tests at this point so I'm going to wait it out until the weekend, if AF still isn't here by Sat I'll test. No sign of her today but there's still time 😬 how are you getting on today?

@QueenBee22 it's so disheartening getting BFN, but 10DPO is still early! Even with an FRER it's not guaranteed to pick up early, wouldn't count yourself out just yet, when is AF due?

KSAM · 15/02/2022 12:54

@D0nd361u definately could be implantation bleeding with the time frame, fingers crossed 🤞

ANP2020 · 15/02/2022 13:37

@Annapolis35 welcome!! Baby dust to you!!

Ahhh guys I’m feeling deflated I’m just a bit meh, after seeing bfn this am! If I squint hard enough I start to see a line! But I have to squint and put a flash on it! I’ve chucked it to stop over analysing it! Showed bf after the 3 min window and he couldn’t see anything! I just feel down that it maybe hasn’t happened! All the symptoms I had yesterday are non existent today! And I feel full of energy! Normally feel knackered!

@QueenBee22 big virtual hug! Hope your feeling ok! Your not out till AF arrives but the not knowing is the killer! I’ve forum trawled and so many get a bfn and then a bfp after af missed a few days to a week!!

@D0nd361u everything crossed for implantation

@KSAM it’s so disheartening isn’t it! I move it right out of view for the three mins do u? So then go to it with a big heart sink when it’s empty! Then start shoving it under bright lights like a mad woman!! I don’t know wether it’s better to sit and watch it develop!

OP posts:
Wheresmycustard · 15/02/2022 13:49

@KSAM I don't blame you. It horrible seeing bfns
I'm doing ok, felt totally normal all morning. Wasn't really feeling anything womb wise but I'm feeling slight tightness. So probably in my head🙄

@ANP2020 sorry your feeling deflated, your 6 days early so still very early. Remember FRER can show up to 6 days early not it will show. If that makes sense.

ANP2020 · 15/02/2022 15:09

@Wheresmycustard thanks! I think I’m just not made for this wait haha!! You are right about FRER I have more ready for tomorrow!

I have noticed another weird symptom! I normally sleep on my tummy!! And I suddenly can’t, finding it really uncomfy like I’m pulling a muscle! I’ve probs done just that and pulled a muscle 🤣

PinkButtercups · 15/02/2022 15:22

Hello! Also in the two week wait. I'll try hold off testing until the 28th.

Wheresmycustard · 15/02/2022 15:23

@ANP2020 the waiting is torture. I remember when I was actually TTC, before I was like oh we'll just not use contraception and go with the flow., See what happens, no pressure, no rush just relaxed and loving. I genuinely believed i was that kind of person. I was insulted by the lack of pregnancy the first month. 😂 It all changed after that. I suffered several miscarriages in my bid of motherhood and I think I became a little more insane each time. At one point my technique was to track ovulation twice per day, dtd in missionary position, but with my bum on a pillow and I'd very gently twist myself round so that no wee swimmers fell out and I'd lie there with my feet up on the wall for hours 😂 while DH gave me snacks and sips of drink through a straw. I'd love to say that was years back but my oldest is only 5 and youngest 3 so actually not that long ago. I think I tried every tip or trick going.
