Two week wait - anyone else?

[Geemmm]

Hey ladies 👋🏻

Back once again 😅 starting my two week wait tomorrow and wondering if there's anyone wanting to hop on this thread and keep each other company?

Short and sweet version for me is 17 cycles trying with two early MC's Oct and Nov of 2021. Hoping this cycle brings us our little rainbow 🌈

as this is my first time TTC I'm not sure if what I'm experiencing is common! I'm currently 7dpo, and I've woken up today with a terrible cold and flu like symptoms I've read this can be a good sign, but not so sure, has any one had a similar experience? Could just be the common cold and I'm overthinking my symptoms 🤦🏼‍♀️ if anyone went through my Google search history they would think I'm nuts!

Ooooh @kittycat01 and @sunflowers90 I can definitely see a line on both! Congratulations!!

I’m 9DPO tomorrow, would you guys do a test or should I wait longer? Im so desperate to know 😫

@Flippy87 I would try and hold out a few more days if you can for more reliable results (says the one that's been testing since 8dpo 🤣)

11dpo and another BFN with fmu so I'm content with being out this cycle, just want AF to come so we can get going with the next one!

Any updates @sunflowers90 and @kittycat01?

@Bluemilan I caved and did a FRER and BFN. feel like it’s never going to happen

@Bluemilan I'm sorry! I know what you mean about wanting AF to just come so you can then start again. Have you tried temping? I always found by doing it with ovulation sticks i wouldn't quite pin point it right and then once I started temping with my first child, everything was a bit easier and then it worked! It does take a couple of cycles to get used to thought and for the tempting app (I use natural cycles) to learn your cycle.

This is my test today...not much change which worries me a bit. Hope it doesn't result in a chemical. I'm 10dpo. I won't test again until maybe Sunday now.

Any news @sunflowers90 ?

@Bluemilan line is a little darker today! Still faint though and tested negative on Clearblue. I’m 12DPO now so my hcg must be quite low? Had a tiny bit of spotting yesterday, hoping for the best. 🤞

Hopefully AF comes soon and you can start thinking about the next cycle! I’ve always thought a December baby would be so lovely. 💕

@Flippy87 it’s still early so I wouldn’t lose hope! I think try again in a couple of days - hoping for your BFP soon!

@kittycat01 how are you getting on?

@kittycat01 sorry I didn’t see your message before I hit send! Great to see two lines still, exciting! 😍

Good idea - I reckon it’s worth taking a break from testing for a couple of days to hopefully see a big difference! It’s hard not to be anxious about it all isn’t it. Sending hugs!

@Bluemilan really? Some hope still there then 🤞🏻thanks!

Sorry to hear u still have BFN - me too! Gonna wait until 12 dpo now and try again then just wait for AF.

Lines looking good there girl @sunflowers90 @kittycat01 ❤️

@sunflowers90 that lines still dark for before af! You could have implanted recently too, hence a fainter line than you want. 🤞🏼🤞🏼 for a little November baby for you

@kittycat01 that line looks great too! Hcg doubles every 48 hours so I wouldn't expect it to get loads darker in 24 - it's nice and clear for 10dpo. 🤞🏼🤞🏼 for a little November baby for you too

I'm not temping because I get such broken sleep/work night shifts etc it wouldn't be accurate anyway, plus I feel like if I start it'll be another thing to obsess over so would rather avoid while I can! Maybe in a few more months I'll consider it again

Ladies - I dno if I'm clutching at straws here but today I've had really watery cm (sorry if tmi but I'm an open book after 17 cycles) does anyone know if this is good or just normal cycle sign? My period isn't due until Tuesday and technically I'm 10dpo today. Been having little random cramps but can't tell if they are with my tummy being sore from covid or not. Defo too early for AF for me it's usually just before I get cramps and they are hellish. Exhausting myself again this month 🤪

Well I've woken up to af two days early . Onto the next cycle it is!

7DPO today and dying to test. Would you just go for it or hold out until next week?

Sorry to hear that @Bluemilan :(

Sorry to hear that blue

@Brideandprejudice try to wait a few more days if you can.

Sorry to hear @Bluemilan 🙁

@Brideandprejudice if you can I'd hold of for a few days

I'm 11dpo today and another BFN. Gutting.

Managed to hold out for today! I know I'll get the same temptation tomorrow morning but hopefully I can wait a few more days, will try and stay busy this weekend to keep my mind off it x

For those who have had their BFP, congratulations! I've started a Due in November thread and I'm currently very lonely so if anyone would like to join me, feel free! www.mumsnet.com/Talk/birth_clubs/4502073-Due-November-2022

For those for whom this month hasn't panned out, solidarity. I've been there more times than I care to count. Love and baby dust for next time.

@Geemmm I’m 10DPO and got BFN again today so I think I’m out for this month. I feel overwhelming sadness and a feeling of being empty it’s so hard every month

I didn't test positive until 14 dpo (period was a day late) OP. I had tested every other day from 9dpo. That pregnancy went on to be my rainbow after a second trimester loss the year before. I am now in the 2ww as well and not testing. It just did me no favours personally but we're all different!

@Bluemilan sorry AF arrived and everything crossed this new cycle is the one! ✨✨

@Brideandprejudice definitely try to hold out a few days if you can! It’s so hard to when you want to know. Hope you get your BFP 💕

@Flittingaboutagain thanks for sharing that, really interesting to know and hope it means BFPs are to come soon for ladies on this thread 🙂

I feel similarly and would avoid testing early in future as it’s driven me mad to be honest - I’ve spent the last few days worrying so much about slow line progression and I don’t think an early faint positive has done me any favours in my case! Maybe because I had a loss where hcg levels didn’t rise properly so I’m nervous about the faintness. Everyone’s different though like you say - I’m a terrible overthinker!

How are you feeling this TWW? So sorry you went through a second trimester loss that sounds unbelievably hard. Glad you have your rainbow baby after such a difficult time 🌈 hopefully another is on the way! 🥰

Sorry to hear about ur loss @Flittingaboutagain ❤️.

I think I'm out - 13dpo not even a hint of a faint line. Both BFPs previous I had a faint but visible line at 12dpo.

How are you girls getting on? @Flippy87 @Brideandprejudice

Hi @Geemmm I did another test this morning and another BFN, 12 DPO so I think it’s game over for me. On to next month! Sending you lots and lots of baby dust for this next cycle xxx

I believe I got an evap line this morning as doesn't look right! But it came up within the time frame so it's quite bizarre. First time Ttc so does anyone know if it's common on clear blues? I've ordered frer coming tomorrow

@Bluemilan @sunflowers90
I lost the baby 😢
