1dpo - it's going to be a long two weeks if anyone wants to symptom spot with me

[MillieKitty]

Heyyy I am back in the two-week wait if anyone is in the same boat and wants company, I ovulated 29th sept I believe! Chemical pregnancy two cycles ago so wishing this cycle is the one 🤞🏼

So the cramps are spreading round to my hips and lower back, predominantly on the left side.... what on earth is happening! I'm only 6/7DPO!

@emevol with ds1 cramps were my first sign of pregnancy. Wishing you lots of luck 🍀

@Mayfield87 thank you so much! Did they last a while..? I've had them all day in varying degrees of strength! X

I'm 6dpo and I've been having bad cramps, but I am on holiday so could be dodgy food! Tempted to track down an FRER for Saturday when I'll be 9dpo, So annoyed I didn't pack one in my case.
Hope everyone is keeping sane x

In all fairness I knew from the cramps I was pregnant as they just felt different to AF cramps- so I think about 2 days or so. I took a test on the second day and it was positive. Good luck 🤞🏻

See mine feel really similar to AF but vary from light to slightly 'painful' if that's the right
word..
I have no clue what to think. The cramps
radiate round my hips to my lower back.
Praying I'm not just coming down with something 😢😢

@emevol mine felt different to af the last few days..sort of like a tingley/scratchy feeling on either side but this evening they have felt more like af so who knows :-(

The only thing keeping me going is that it'd be SUPER unlikely for my AF to come this soon

Oh my, I'm kind of glad it's not just me overthinking every little twinge! I've got a Fitbit and my resting heart rate has gone up by 5 beats since ovulation (which was one of my fist indicators in my previous pregnancies) and I've felt a bit crampy on and off too. Of course it could all be in my mind, that's the 2ww torture isn't it?!

I've ordered a FRER which is being delivered tomorrow but I'm only 5DPO so no point in testing until at least next week. The temptation is real tho 😅

Good luck to you ladies and hope the 2ww flies by 🤞

Bfn again 😔
Has anybody else tested?

Yes I've tested, still BFN! i don't know why but I kind of expected even just a whisper of a line this morning after all of the twinges etc I had yesterday. Woken up feeling absolutely fine this morning, so not sure what's going on.

God I hate this wait!

To all the ladies testing before 9 DPO - pleeeeeease be kind to yourselves!!!!!! HCG needs time to rise before being detectable on a urine test after implantation which someone pointed out doesn't happen until 6 - 10 DPO with the most common day being 9!

I know it's hard, these last few months I've done the same but please don't count yourselves out at this stage! It's still so early. Big love and hugs to everyone ❤️ keeping my fingers and toes crossed for us all.

On a side note, what's everyone's thoughts on BBT to detect implantation? Xxx

This TWW is really dragging isn't it, glad I'm not the only one getting impatient 😅

I'm either 7 or 8dpo today and haven't tested yet, not had any symptoms to speak of either. I will try to hold out until Sunday (10/11DPO) at the earliest, and if that's BFN I'll leave it another 3 days, when AF will definitely be overdue.

@sunflower25049 I'm not sure there's solid evidence behind the implantation BBT dip - then again, if I get a dip tomorrow I might be more inclined to believe in it!

This TWW has been really hard this time around .. first one since giving up after two years of trying with no luck..

DP and I have now lost over 18 stone between us since February in an attempt to better our chances but I feel like I've put more pressure on myself this time.. I don't know why!

Having said that, the way I felt yesterday I've never had before in any other TWW. Maybe that's why I was fixated on it 😂😂

@Mortima - it really is.... it's the longest 2 weeks ever. But I think most ladies on the thread are at least 7 DPO now so we are all on the home stretch 😬 PreMom says for me to test on Tuesday at 12 DPO so I'm going to try really hard to hold off until then. Last 2 months I've started at 9DPO and it's just absolutely heart breaking. Yeah I've read the same about BBT dips to predict implantation but I had a dip this morning so going to see if it goes back up tomorrow and keep everything crossed it's a good sign!

@emevol - what an amazing achievement for you both! Sorry I missed your message yesterday but please keep your chin up, we are all in it together. I had a really hard 2WW last month and am feeling differently this month. I will be gutted if AF comes but trying not to be gutted when I don't know yet. We all have our ups and downs, that's why we are all here to support each other. Keeping everything crossed for you, you've got this 💪💪💪

I tested this morning, 9DPO.

I swear I can see a squinty line but I don't trust FRER as last month I got an evap that looked just like a line and I was so disappointed.

Can anyone see it?

Ignore me as you can barely see it in RL let alone in the photo 🤣🤣🤣

@blueberry23 I think I can see a line!

@emevol with my last pregnancy I had a clear line at 9DPO.

Last month I had the worst evaps on like 4 different FRERs I just don't trust them so really should just wait but I'm out for dinner tonight and want to have a few wines
.
Now not sure what to do! X

Thankyou @sunflower25049 I needed this today ❤️🥰 BFN at 8dpo but know it's early still. No symptoms here now either, cramping has stopped.

When is everyone's AF due? Mine is in a weeks time according to last cycle and apps.

I see it @blueberry23 wishing you lots of luck 🍀❤️

I had so much cramping yesterday but today feeling absolutely fine! Only sore boobs (nipples) more tender than sore though I think..

7 DPO today, AF due this time next week.

Tested this morning and it's stark white - half of me knows I'm out this month, half of me is holding onto the hope that it could just be too early 🥹

Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for everyone to get a BFP soon!

Woke up this AM with a very weird taste in my mouth, not sure I would say metallic though, but it's still there even after brushing and breakfast.

Holding out testing until most likely Sunday, this is our first cycle TTC to know it's highly unlikely. AF due Monday.

I think you're still too early @emevol , are you about 8dpo?
