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.

@ANP2020 it sounds likes it’s manageable and you have a plan. I hope the gp can help you too. Gosh you must take so many vitamins! I got so fed up by the amount I was taking I switched to the conceive plus ones so I only have to take two a day instead. A month off has really helped my mind and if you feel like you’ve got a lot to get your head around it’s worth it, it has been so nice to not be symptom spotting and being hyper aware of my body and to give myself a month to reset really. I had so much on my plate I honestly felt like I was going to start screaming haha, so it’s nice to feel normal again!

@pinkpirlie i think the acupuncture is a good idea to help with the anxiety. I am so happy for you and pray everything goes well, it has really given me hope! I actually feel excited to start ttc again and hopeful about it.

@Annapolis35 I'm glad you're feeling positive about restarting your journey.

I can only recommend the turkey baster method for in between DTD days. First time we tried it and it worked - who knows if that was the reason, but ...
I was laughing with my friend about it as she said someone on a TV show once said that worked for them, and she was really skeptical, but how now it's worked for me maybe they were onto something 🤣

I'm feeling so stressed though. Worrying at every twinge and symptom. I can't wait to be far enough along to get a scan for reassurance. I really hope the accupuncture helps. I feel way more stressed than when TTC.

Hope everyone else is okay.

Any thoughts on what we name our new thread? Shall we stick with 2WW or something new?

@pinkpirlie I felt the same when I was pregnant too and was so so worried about things going wrong and in the end they did. BUT that doesn’t mean things will go wrong for you and the odds are in your favour. There was a yoga lady on YouTube who had some good advice (she had several mc’s). She said that she was so worried about being pregnant that she didn’t enjoy the pregnancy at all and was constantly bracing herself for things going wrong. But when things went wrong, it still hurt like hell. So the best thing to do (easier said than done) is to enjoy the pregnancy and IF things go wrong, which I’m sure they won’t, deal with it if it happens and try to enjoy things before and make the most of being pregnant because worrying only ruins that time. I hope that helps you in some way.

I think mumsnet can give a bit of a skewed view as so many women on here have miscarriages and cp’s (which I hadn’t even heard of before this forum) when in reality most women just find out they’re pregnant and that’s it. I don’t know if I’m being very articulate and it’s really difficult not to worry. I have got my fingers crossed this is a sticky bean for you.

re name? I’m not sure? Maybe “the millionth 2ww” haha
