Anyone else currently going through the dreaded 2 week wait?

Just wondered if anyone else was at the same stage as me at the mo. First full cycle since miscarriage in January and hoping for our rainbow baby 🌈. I've been (slightly) obsessing over ovulation for the last week or so and I've finally passed that window and waiting patiently to be able to test in a couple of weeks time 🙏

I had the weirdest period this month 3 days of light bleeding half the time it was hardly worth using a tampon and I only saw bright red blood once not like me at all not sure what to make of it but I have the other usual symptoms emotions all over the place and cramps

@Rainbowbaby13 I have also experienced strange AF this month.

Lots of watery pink and then red with a lot of darker bits...quite heavy at times. Lasting 5 days and my cycle is 24.

I don't know - felt like there was a big bleed this month. I don't know if that's positive for conceiving?

Trying for second. Have a gorgeous DD1 who is 3.

After being sick at work today at 8dpo I decided to do a test... well 2 tests later !!!

@BoyMum18 they look good 😊

Rainbowbaby13 · 25/03/2022 11:29

I've got 1 day until my fertile window starts again and I really need to find the energy to DTD 😂 looking after a 10 month old is so tiring 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Mummyme87 · 25/03/2022 12:31

I’m 7dpo, no sore boobs yet which I’m hoping is good as that’s a pre AF sign for me from about 3dpo, watery mucous Cm also. Noticed stitch like cramp in lower abdomen, particularly on left side this morning. My BBT went up again today also, very high to 37.01C. Ordered FRER and cheapies so will probably do a cheapie on Sunday to pacify my need to POAS.

LittleWins · 25/03/2022 12:41

8DPO here and our 3 cycle. This is the first month where I have no idea if I’m pregnant and due to having covid my body is all over the place.

Biggest positive sign is the lack of PMT this month. I’m always emotional and a bit crabby for 2 days but nothing. Smooth sailing. Sore boobs especially at the side too.

Keeping everything crossed 😬🤞🏻

Rainbowbaby13 · 25/03/2022 18:11

@Mummyme87 that all sounds very positive 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@LittleWins goodluck

Rainbowbaby13 · 30/03/2022 14:39

How is everyone getting on ?

I use clue tracking app and my Fitbit and one says ovulation is today one says tomorrow but we've been DTD since Sunday just to be sure 😂 will be cream crackered by the weekend

Then the dreaded 2 week wait begins

Moosh18 · 30/03/2022 15:00

I have no idea when ovulation is it's awful! I ovulated cd12 last month this month no sign yet!!! I'm cd13 tofsy, periods have been all over since stopping BF at Christmas x

Rainbowbaby13 · 31/03/2022 15:57

@Moosh18 mine probably isn't an exact science I just hope the apps right because I'm trying not to use ovulation sticks because I get a bit obsessive and it's early days yet

mumtomads · 31/03/2022 17:53

Hi everyone! Hope you don't mind me jumping on

I'm 8dpo, was feeling really positive about this month, but just got my progesterone blood test results back and I think its likely too low to have even successfully ovulated... but holding out hope as I had a really strong peak AND had pinching/aching in one side from that night til now!

Going to try and hold out til 14dpo to test but knowing me I'll cave and test at 10dpo!

Rainbowbaby13 · 31/03/2022 19:53

@mumtomads good luck

SettlePetal · 01/04/2022 11:12

Hi everyone

@Rainbowbaby13 I was thinking of you this morning as we seem to be very similar in our cycles. My clearblue ovulation test sticks seem to be broken and haven't read for Wed or Thurs but then this morning it says I'm at peak. So my question is what's the best technique (ha) in terms of when to try and how often? I can never really get my head around the timings once you actually see the solid smiley face.

Rainbowbaby13 · 01/04/2022 11:19

@SettlePetal I'm pretty sure my peak was yesterday we skipped DTD Wednesday we were knackered 😂 but did it yesterday and will do it today and keep our fingers crossed

I don't think it's an exact science.

Rainbowbaby13 · 07/04/2022 07:59

6DPO today getting impatient now 😂😂

How's everyone else doing?

Moosh18 · 07/04/2022 09:01

Still waiting for ovulation over here 😩😩 CD21

Rainbowbaby13 · 07/04/2022 17:52

@Moosh18 I'm so impatient hate waiting and getting pregnant seems to be a constant waiting game 😂 if only there was an easier way that wasn't so stressful

Moosh18 · 07/04/2022 19:40

@Rainbowbaby13 it's absolutely awful! Constantly waiting for something!!! I don't mind the tww so much I just hate waiting for ovulation! It can literally be anytime for me so it's a real long haul :( feel like everyone else gets double the chances :(

Hboz · 07/04/2022 20:28

Hi all hope you don’t mind me joining!!-I’m TTC cycle 8 currently 8dpo, having some weird twinges and just hoping it’s not AF 🙏🏻 These waits are so tough!!

Rainbowbaby13 · 07/04/2022 21:47

@Moosh18 it must be so frustrating for you

@Hboz welcome 👍🏻👍🏻 good luck have you been trying for long

Hboz · 08/04/2022 06:54

Hi @Rainbowbaby13 thank you!! It’ll be my 8th cycle of trying so getting very frustrated with it all! And this would be my first pregnancy :)

Rainbowbaby13 · 08/04/2022 09:33

@Hboz we're on our fourth cycle for our second it took 11 cycles for our first

Hboz · 08/04/2022 17:58

Ah that’s reassuring to hear!! I honestly thought it would happen in like the first 3 months so trying to ride the journey 😄
