Anyone going through the 2 weeks wait? 😭

Hiya

Anyone going through the 2 week wait? I’m trying not to symptom spot but it’s so hard. I’m approx 7 dpo. Today I’ve had sharp pains in my left side, tired and a headache that I can’t shift. I’ve been ttc for a few months now after a MMC in August. It’s so stressful 😭

Yes I'm 3dpo. It's dragging 😭😭 x

Emmamoo89 · 20/11/2022 20:28

Sorry for your loss. Sounds like implantation x

Misspotterscat · 20/11/2022 20:30

I’m 2dpo and it’s already going so slowly!

AliceD7 · 20/11/2022 20:32

Hey! I feel you’re paid. I’m about 9dpo and it’s dragging like hell. One minute I feel hopeful due to symptoms the next minute I feel like it’s not my month. Third cycle trying.

Fingers crossed this is our month ladies!🤞

I feel your pain*

Should really of proof read that haha!

DandelionPockets · 20/11/2022 20:35

Yep in the TWW. 2nd cycle but I think my ovulation was delayed this month so no idea when to test. so just sort of...waiting 😅

Ttc33 · 20/11/2022 20:42

@Emmamoo89 fingers crossed for you. I’m trying not to get my hopes up as last month I had the same but without the fatigue and headache.

@Misspotterscat fingers crossed for you. I hope it goes quickly for you.

@AliceD7 haha I know what you meant. It’s so frustrating isn’t it. It’s strange because the clear blue 6 days earlier says you can test 5 days before. But on their calculator it would work out 2 days before. I spent a fortune last month on tests. I won’t test now unless I’m late.

@DandelionPockets fingers crossed for you. Do you know roughly when you ovulated?

Alysskea · 20/11/2022 20:49

I’m in the 2WW atm and finding it really tough already (still at least 10 days til I should test really). Keep going between excited and terrified of how I’ll cope of things don’t work.

Ttc33 · 20/11/2022 20:56

@Alysskea Aww I know it’s so disheartening isn’t it? Last time I fell pregnant first time but ended at 9+4 weeks. Every time I get a BFN I cry with disappointment.

eveningg ladies! I am 2DPO so will hop on here, symptom spotting like a mad woman…. 2 bloody days 🤣 i’ve officially lost it. Gonna be a loooooong week !! 🤣. do we have any early testers here ??? I used my last FRER last month and I’m not gonna buy more this month to try and stop myself. I have some cheapies and a digital if I do want to confirm god i hope its this month🥹🤞👀😍

anyone early testing???

Ttc33 · 20/11/2022 20:59

@LMM91x haha I think it drives everyone crazy. You can’t help but symptom spot when you want it so bad. I’m just constantly googling stuff. I just need to relax but it’s hard lol

OP posts:
DandelionPockets · 20/11/2022 21:02

@Ttc33 I reckon I might be around 7dpo like you, had a big stress mid month and ran out of ovulation tests before I was actually positive so bit of a guess. fingers crossed for you too, do you have a plan for when you will test?

LMM91x · 20/11/2022 21:08

@Ttc33 totally… I find it mostly comforting. I feel like I almost forget each previous cycle now… like I can’t recall at all anything I felt the last TWW?? Weird… might need to start jotting things down so I don’t go down a rabbit hole🤣

Ttc33 · 20/11/2022 21:10

@DandelionPockets I’m going to wait until AF to save disappointment. You? We started taking his and her conception before my AF and it really boosted my ovulation as last month I didn’t get hardly any EWCM. I hope everyone gets lucky this month.

OP posts:
AliceD7 · 20/11/2022 21:41

I told myself I wasn’t going to test early…however I have no willpower and tested today which was negative haha. Felt down earlier but it’s still really early I suppose 🤞

lili2308 · 20/11/2022 21:44

2dpo so want to join! Second month ttc and the first time around the waiting period felt loooooong

Ttc33 · 20/11/2022 21:45

@AliceD7 yes still early. Keep thinking positive.

Ttc33 · 20/11/2022 21:47

@lili2308 Hiya, fingers crossed for you. Do you have any children? I’ve had 2 unsuccessful pregnancies but I have a fur baby

LMM91x · 20/11/2022 22:01

@lili2308 its sooooo bloody long I keep forgetting i’m only 2dpo feels like the last 24 hours have lasted a bloody week!

Sorry to hear that love - at least others know how it feels. Wishing you the best!

rommy33 · 20/11/2022 22:29

evening ladies, this is my first time ever posting on mumsnet however have been religiously checking up on others posts for assurance but I'm now going mad! I wasn’t ttc but wouldn’t mind if it happened. Im between 12-13dpo and I’m expecting my af tomorrow or the day after and have a usual 31 day cycle however I have had every single symptom imaginable since predicted ovulation. I tested last night however and got a BFN on an early response boots test I’ve had for a while, as I was loosing my mind not knowing what’s happening.. anyway I come to you lovely ladies for any advice or comparisons in symptoms so far in the chance it was a false neg? During the 2ww I ended up starting a daily symptom list by dpo to track because they truly were so noticeable, I have so far had the following:

approx 5-7 dpo - bloating, twinges, fatigue, lots of cm, constipation, extremely hungry constantly
7-9 dpo - twinges, nausea, fatigue, unimaginable insomnia not going to bed until 7am laying awake all night, diarrhoea (sorry tmi), had a fever through the night and woke up had to strip.. my SO noticed instantly my boobs looked massive (I’m tiny 34b), tenderness defo present in them
9-11 dpo appetite decreased massively to 1 meal a day, bloating, gas, sharp cramps almost like af, emotional as hell!, dizzy in the afternoons/evening, high body temp, weird unrealistic dream (I dreamt up a frisky moment between myself, SO and stranger🫠 so not my style!!!!), WORST FEVER EVER, waking up dripping in sweat literally had to change my clothing and sheets.. on top of this woke up on 10dpo congested as hell with the worst flu imaginable (I still have it) my nose is so dry throat so dry I’m unbelievably thirsty.. my taste buds have completely gone also. Started having some streaky blood when blowing few days ago didn’t realise it was significant however …
11-13dpo (I’m estimated at 13dpo now could be wrong) one meal a day still, yellow ish when wipe, dull uncomfortable cramping,
unimaginable insomnia, I’ve barely slept in days and when I have I’ve fallen asleep at around 6-7am and woken again at 11am or like last night kept shooting up every half an hour like I was being electrocuted and covered in sweat literally drenched kept my SO awake all night long just kept shooting up and having to re change my clothing 4 times!!! Managed to sleep from 8-11am woke up drenched again and didn’t realise SO had put a towel under me whilst I slept, woke up immediate nausea couldn’t get out of bed, toilet wasn’t that bad didn’t really have constipation, nausea increased by 1pm took my dog to the park and almost passed out.. blood pressure felt very high so I took it and it has increased quite a lot since I started testing 3 days ago to track - it was defo high as I was super dizzy and an emotional wreck for some reason I ended up picking a pointless fight with my SO and it became so explosive I started crying uncontrollably for no reason and it ended in a nosebleed which I don’t often get… and I read somewhere nosebleeds can be a sign.. I’m sooo thirsty, absolutely no taste buds and no smell, horrible taste in my mouth.. I sit here rn feeling so confused and so sick😷 anyone been through anything similar having a BFN then a BFP / similar symptoms before their BFP? I’m not sure if AF will arrive tomorrow or the day after… but I’ve never felt like this before any sister says she had basically every single symptom I’m having before her DS including a stuffy nose / flu before BFP.

I’m so sorry this was so long to read but I sincerely appreciate anyone who takes the time to read and or reply I also appreciate I should probably just wait for AF but I’m kinda dreading it at this point maybe I kinda want that BFP now🥲 I’m having so much anxiety, please don’t feel I’m wasting your time by asking when the actual wait isn’t so far away! 🙈kindest regards in advance and

The most stickiest baby dust to everyone trying 💜💜

UserL95 · 20/11/2022 23:37

@Emmamoo89 im also 3dpo right now! Not far off you @LMM91x

i have cycles 29-31 days but I ovulated on CD19 so this will be more like a 31 day cycle for me I reckon.

I used all my IC last cycle after being convinced it was going to be our lucky cycle. Ofcourse I was wrong and AF came right on time. I have two frer but literally have 0 intention of using them. Going to try very hard to not obsess and test this month and focus on self care and positivity.

According to FLO predictions I could experience implantation 22-26th

Yolo23 · 20/11/2022 23:49

Heeey ladies! I’m with you all on this one 🫣😅 10 DPO tomorrow and all I’m doing is symptom spotting every twinge and headache 😂 it’s the first time we’ve timed it ‘text book’ - I know we’d be very lucky but after many years TTC previously, and diagnosed with endo, I really hope my luck is about to change 🤞😆 in the meantime, I’m getting ‘text book’ symptoms but we’ve all been here before haven’t we 😂 I always think I’m going mental with my sore boobs and implantation cramps 🤔
anyway, I will be testing Friday as I have a smear booked so happy to waste some time wishing you all well on here in the TWW - please keep us posted. I find these places very positive to keep hope 🥳❤️✨
btw, I am 31 trying for my first…

Yolo23 · 20/11/2022 23:52

@LMM91x testing Friday! You sound just like me 😂🤣 when are you going to test? I’ve just ordered packs of cheapies of Amazon! So may attempt weds thurs too but only because I’m super hopeful this month. Control and disappointment seem to ground me a bit 😂🫣 lol

Ttc33 · 21/11/2022 06:42

@rommy33 I think if you tested and it was BFN you should wait until AF is late. I’ve seen threads where women don’t get a positive until days after a their missed period. The only symptom I ever had was a late period. Now that I’m ttc again I notice signs like fatigue, headaches, pain on the left side, temperature and off food but my AF arrives and I’m just starting to think maybe after my MMC this is normal now. Hope you get your BFP x
