Anyone going through the 2 weeks wait? 😭

[Ttc33]

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 😭

@Yolo23 we are the same !!! 🤣🤣 i’m also 31 trying for my first 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞. Xxxx

@LMM91x ahh lovely! I’m supposed to be on AF Sunday but I’ve been experiencing lots of small twinges the past few days - I had hoped implantation however I feel more cramps this morning so not sure if I’m just due for AF really early. Just checked previous cycles and I have had one at CD25 so ughhhh hopefully not but it’s anyones guess. These Amazon tests need to arrive like yesterday! …

@Yolo23 my last 2 cycles have been 24 and 25 😭 it’s so bloody annoying….. I am normally 26/27. 3dpo i am still a long bloody way off, have a constant like dull ache down there, but I know it’s unlikely to be anything just my bloody brain playing tricks on me!!

are they due to come today the tests???? I’d be window watching all day 🤣

@LMM91x yep! I’ve been there before so many times. I swear we make our body experience symptoms 😂 my boobs are so sore but it’s only ever when I’m TTC around the time of ovulation. Never experienced it before so I know it’s not really a sign of anything for me as it’s standard. Nope tests are coming tomorrow 😭 I almost caved and used one of my expensive ones this morning as I felt like I just needed to know what the aches were to put me out of my misery 🤣 but I am only like 10dpo … my guess is they’ll come tomorrow PM so I’ll have to wait for Weds but my luck AF will be here then and that’ll be the end of that hah! Pain isn’t it. How do people get so lucky so easy!? The 2WW takes forever, fingers crossed it’ll go quick for you. Do you have any plans or distraction techniques you can use… Christmas decorating perhaps or Christmas shopping 😅

Why is the 2WW the worst !
I am currently 6 DPO, Have been feeling shooting pains the last few days on my left side, but its hard to think is it implantation or just your mind thinking its something when it is not!

@Kittenmum89 I feel you on this one! Honestly so hard to tell isn’t it. Drives you bonkers… I’ve definitely not felt right this cycle (I’m 10 dpo) but hard to know if AF is just due to arrive early. I’m currently on the phone to my GP with the hope to book an appt to discuss a referral onto IVF. I heard elsewhere the average NHS wait is 18 months so I’m going to try and get in the queue ready… these things are never easy though! So much time spent hoping and waiting and doing the same thing again and again 😅

@Yolo23 I knowwww its madness and quite a mind f**k …. Fingers bloody crossed I am so ready to just be pregnant and that be my life now ya know! I probably won’t test before missed P this month…. As i’ve had shorter cycles there’s not much point 🤣 if we get past 25 days i’ll be so excited then i’m sure it will come crashing down day 26🤣 we will see eh. I just actually believe so much that I am becore that bloody test says negative!

😂😂😂 I know! I honestly can’t help but not understand how the hell people get pregnant.. I know some have accidents and unplanned but REALLY!? How!? Lol, my brain is warped now into thinking it’s going to have to literally be a miracle. Honestly I think I’ll have a heart attack if ever I get a BFP. I know deep down I won’t though unless I have IVF - I have endo and I just have this gut feeling that’s the only way for me (although hope to god it’s not!)

@Yolo23 oh i hope it doesn’t have to come to that!!!
my mum has endo (actually I seem to thankfully be the only woman in my family on mums side that hasn’t got it!!). She has had 3 healthy children …. Me at 22, and then my sisters at 32 and 34!! Endo has not stopped her and it won’t stop you either! Xx

I can’t even let myself go there with IVF…. My head will go in a spin, really hope it doesn’t come to that either but I agree its mental - HOW DOES ONE HAVE AN OOPSIE AND GET PREGNANT ?!!! i would just love to be that person 🤣🤣

6dpo here!! Desperately trying to distract myself instead of waiting to see if I notice any remote symptom- none so far! I’m always tired and exhausted so can’t count that one 🤣.

My cycles always used to be 28 days but for last few months I’ve had a 2 x 21 days and 1 x 24 so no idea when my period is due. I spent a fortune on frer’s when I fell pregnant with my 1st but resisting this time given that I have no idea when to take one…and just going to keep everything crossed!

I’m 35, anyone else of a similar age had a change in cycle? Made me panic a bit and hurried me along to start trying for number 2

Good luck ladies! 💜

@Mammatoacutie haha 😂 I’m 33 and my periods have changed a bit but I think it’s from my MMC this year. Sometimes it’s 25 days to 29 days. My periods used to be like clockwork 28 days x

I'm also on a 2 week wait, AF is due weds, I had an MC in Sept, so this is first cycle since, I'm so hopeful, definitely have a lot of the symptoms I did last time. 🤞🤞🤞

@Matildahoney sorry for your loss. It’s such an awful thing to go through. Good luck to you x

Thank you. The same to you x

Hi everyone! :)

i’m in my TWW as well. Today I’m 10-11dpo, as not really sure when I ovulated (gp gave two possible dates according to the size of a follicle). We have been trying for over a year and a half, tried Clomis (not successful) and I just had HyCosy two weeks ago.

My cycles are 28-29 days, dh’s SA was great, my ovaries look good and tubes are not blocked. Soooo, not sure what the deal is with us.

but keepinf my fingers crossed this is our month. If not, i’m starting letrozole next cycle …

@Mammatoacutie DPO twins ! fingers crossed for us this month.

Hiya @summerchild92

It just seems easy for most people doesn’t it. We was trying for about a year before but decided to stop. We tried again in May and fell pregnant first time. But that time I put a pillow under me and laid still for 20 minutes. I swear that’s what helped x

@summerchild92 back to square one trying again but my cycles are not 100%as they used to be.

Yes but I’m not holding out much hope. AF was very close to O so I doubt there was enough time for the womb wall build up.

We also dtd twice but the second time (right on peak) was only a little bit… there was more the day before and that was my only day of ‘high fertility’ this month.

I’ve had my hormones checked and they look all good. DP has got to be checked and I’m due an internal ultrasound- just waiting on the appointment confirmation. He’s a lot older and I’m terrified about his sperm- just not sure there’s much that can be done if he’s too old 😢

@AgeGapBbe if things are ok with you there is the option if donor insemination which is cheaper and less invasive than IVF, might be funded for you. Don’t give up hope just yet.

All these things are good to know, thank you. He already has 2 kids so I know he is a ont be able to have funded iVF. I had my implant out last Feb and my cycles have been a bit all over the place but I know I’m ovulating (regular testing). When you’re a teenager you feel like you’d have sex once and be pregnant- it’s so far from that!

Hey! I'm 9dpo and early testing this cycle! Yesterday at 8dpo was a bfn, but my test this morning had a very very faint line, not sure what to think about it so just waiting until tomorrow to test again

@CreatingLittlePudding Hiya, how many cycles have you been trying? I refuse to test early now I just got to addicted and deflated not to mention the amount of money spent. Fingers crossed for you for tomorrow

@Ttc33 this is my 3rd cycle, I'm 29 and already have an almost 11 year old but this is my first time actually ttc. I held out until af was due last cycle, was convinced I might be pregnant so a bfn was a kick in the teeth so this cycle ive been testing early to try and keep my expectations realistic so I was surprised with a faint line but im not getting my hopes up at this stage.

@Ttc33 i second the pillow under and lying still- convinced that worked for me last time too!

@CreatingLittlePudding I’m sure that it doesn’t matter how faint it is, if it’s a line it’s likely to be positive🤞how many days are your cycle if you don’t mind me asking?
