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 😭

14dpo for me and no sign of AF. Too scared to test though! No symptoms of any description, AF related or otherwise. This weekend will be exactly a year since I got my first bfp that ended in a MMC 8 weeks later so it would be kind of nice if it this is the month…

@Mammatoacutie you're not out yet 🤞 I gave in yesterday and tested again but the line was still faint. Feeling confused. CD35 today and technically 7 days late. I'm sure that if this is going to stick around then I'd have a strong line by now 😬

Good luck @BuzzyBusyBee when do you plan on testing?

I guess that's me out ... AF due today and whilst it hasn't arrived yet, I did first response and it's a bfn (although I do now see why people complain about the indents - it got me fooled for a couple of minutes ...)

@lili2308 aww really sorry 😢 the majority on this thread didn’t get the BFP’s that we desperately wanted. Soul destroying x

That’s me out too. Still no sign of AF but took a test this morning as out on a Christmas party tonight and wanted to know if it was ok to have a gin and tonic! Let’s just keep reminding ourselves that we are never more than 4 weeks away from that potential BFP! 🤞

Sorry ladies! Yes it seems not many we’re lucky last cycle!

@BuzzyBusyBee absolutely! As awful and draining as it can be the next cycle comes round quickly.

hope this is all our month ladies! I’m on CD9 due to ovulate CD12/13. Going to repeat what I did last period and hope it sticks this time! After googling it seems chemicals are caused by chromosomal abnormalities? Will have been taking pregnacare for a good while this time round so could potentially help make sure the egg is healthy!🤞

Hello lovely lady @Mammatoacutie hows things?? Just wondering how this cycle has been going for you! xx

Ohh just seen this - you were on the googling brigade then again so I see haha! I say this because I also came to this conclusion last night about the chromosone abnormality with a chemical pregnancy. Interesting!
My partner has had a call from his Gp after my GP requested for him to have a SA. I’ve been assuming everything is good with him as we were successful enough to get that far but the abnormality query could be in relation to eggs or sperm quality I read. It’s always such a waiting game! I’m definitely more hopeful having had a chemical though.. I also know what I done that month to the exact date so my plan is to mirror this on future cycles and just pray it sticks! I’ve cut out caffeine… what pre conception vitamins are you on can I ask? Xx

Hey @Yolo23, funny the time of the month has come where I log on and trawl through numerous ttc threads to try and pass the time! oh I wasn’t aware it could also be linked to the sperm!

I can definitely see why you’re more hopeful. It’s a new worry at every hurdle though isn’t it. I thought last month ahh well at least I know I can still conceive but this time round I’m less worried about that and keep thinking I really hope it sticks!

im 9dpo today, less inclined to test early because it was so disappointing last month. I’m trying not to get my hopes up but I have had mild cramps on and off today (same day as last cycle) and I’m in a vile mood 😂 blaming my hormones but then also worried I’m stressing myself out which could hinder! I’ve cut out alcohol this month but not caffeine yet. Just pregnacare. I hadn’t been taking folic acid as until recently as I completely forgot!!

how are you doing? Have you tried this month?

Haha! @Mammatoacutie oh my gosh that literally could have been my own message I was reading - I am exactly like you!

it’s like, while I’m more hopeful for a BFP, I’m DEFINITELY more worried now that I’ll keep getting chemicals.. although because I promised myself I wouldn’t test early or before AF I think I’ve mentally prepared myself for that not to be the case - hmmm, it’s hard isn’t it! But I’d definitely rather not know. I’ll also be more mindful about a BFP if I were to get one but tbh once I bled properly I turned quite quickly to a BFN on a digital so I’m sticking with digital testing maybe like 2 days after a missed period - if I get lucky?!

my other concern is whether the chemical will impact AF … so mindful that it may not be a missed period until a while after? Ugh I don’t know lol! It’s all up in the air.

like you, I have had a few similar symptoms however nothing to the extreme like last month but I’m hopeful this will be a good thing because tbh I was so poorly a few times last time so assuming that’s because my body was rejecting it?? Hoping I have mild symptoms but not holding out on a BFP this month. I didn’t track digitally as we were away and kept it pretty chilled.

The two things i am also mindful of are boiling hot baths - I take one an evening which is no good if you’re pregnant so wondering if that’s something to stop after ovulation or is that just insane. Secondly, the non caffeine is something I’m trying for sure - there are some lovely ones that actually taste better! I stick with my morning caffeine but then have as many as I like non caffeine through out the day.

I also wasn’t taking folic acid religiously before the chemical so I’m mindful of that and trying to take this daily too! It’s like a game of chess isn’t it 🤣🤣 hoping for a BFP for you this month 🥰🤞 xx
