The Two Week Wait Club

[peaky297]

Hi all! As the title suggests, I have set this up as a space for those of us who are TTC and in that long wait between ovulation and when AF is due!
So, to kick us off... I have been TTC #2 since November. Had one chemical in that time and now well into the TWW with AF due on Tuesday! After spending a lot of money on early tests / having the disappointment of a chemical I am now avoiding early testing and will instead wait until AF is late, but zero judgement on anyone who likes to test early - I totally get the urge!

Look forward to hearing from others who are also on their TTC journey!

@peaky297 was watching crufts too 🙈
Sending baby dust xx

I can't believe it. Just did a test and got my BFP, 😱 @peaky297 best of luck with testing today xx

@honeybee1986 huge congratulations!!! So so happy for you 💕

No such luck at this end - AF was due yesterday, so at this point I can only assume that I'm having an off cycle and that the witch will appear when she feels like it!

Glad at least one of us has had success this month! 🎉 @GemLou88 ... onwards we go!

Congratulations @honeybee1986!! so happy for you. Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy.
@peaky297 you haven’t had AF yet so don’t count yourself out until she’s here. CD4 of cycle 5 for me.

@peaky297 @GemLou88 thank you . I do not feel pregnant what so ever tbh . @peaky297 yes you must have hope as the cheapie one I did was negative this morning not even a faint line then clear blue digital was positive. Not sure which tests you have ?

@GemLou88 hope you are ok and fingers crossed for this cycle . I started the seven seas trying for a baby vitamins last month not sure if that helped or not maybe worth trying . I had a miscarriage last time I was pregnant at 9 weeks 4 days so it's hard to imagine a baby at the end of it yet x x

@honeybee1986 I completely understand how you feel. Before I had my DS I had a MMC at 10 weeks. All through DS pregnancy I was full of anxiety and never believed I would have a baby in the end. But he is here and a cheeky 2yo. Best of lucky for a sticky bean and healthy baby for you xx

@honeybee1986 I used a cheapie and a clear blue digital - both negative, so it's looking quite unlikely now. Thanks to DH being unwell and just generally feeling tired, we last DTD on 26th Feb so the last date we could have realistically conceived would have been around march 2nd if his swimmers hung around for a few days. Just feels very unlikely now. Last month I'm fairly sure I had a chemical, so perhaps it's messed up my cycle this month 🤷‍♀️

Hope you don't feel too anxious, try to enjoy this special time. I had an early private scan at around 8weeks the first time around to see all had developed normally with good heart beat etc and that really reassured me - she is not 3! Would something like that be worthwhile for you? X

@peaky297 thank you 😊 I had a scan at 8 weeks last time and all seemed fine but then a week and half later I lost the baby so I'm not sure it would help me that much but I'll definitely do it so I know there is a baby in there!!

Today I took a clear blue normal test and it was so faint positive . Worrying a bit now it should be really dark right ? I haven't got an digital left .

@GemLou88 thank you for your message before xx

Congratulations @honeybee1986 I’m no expert on line progression but I would say that it’s difficult to compare digital to non-digital? Hope all is ok - maybe get another digital test?

BFNs for me but no AF.. really thought I was pregnant this month. I generally try to keep fairly low expectations but it just felt different this month. Feel like a bit of an idiot now 🤦🏼‍♀️ Bit of spotting so I think AF is on the way.

@joeyww yours may be implantation spotting perhaps ? When is AF due ?

I did a frer and a normal clear blue this morning and the frer was very light line and clear blue couldn't hardly see anything so I don't think it's very good news for me . Backache and had some red blood this morning so I assume I'm out . Not really sure what to do other than wait .
I think it seems like a chemical starting but not had one before so I may be jumping the gun .

Hope all ok xx

Aw I’m so sorry @honeybee1986 that must be so tough when you’ve had the joy of a positive test.
AF was due on Sunday for me. I did a FRER test this morning and it was definitely a BFN. So I reckon it’s just a matter of time before AF arrives 😔

Hi girls @joeyww @honeybee1986

Firstly @honeybee1986 I'm so sorry to hear this - are you ok?

@joeyww I'm in the same boat as you - felt that I had a really good chance this month especially when AF didn't turn up when due last Sunday. Still no AF and still BFN tests 🙈 I suspect I may have had a very early chemical last month which has thrown my cycle out ☹️

Hope you don't mind me joining in.

Cycle 2 of TTC#2. I had an early miscarriage last month but trying to see the positive of getting a BFP in our first month of trying when it took 12 months with our first!

I'm not holding out much hope for this month as my cycle was a bit weird. I'm not 100% I ovulated as I was a bit hit and miss with my OPKs. I'm on CD6. I'd like to hold out till AF is due (next Thursday) but in reality I know I'll probably start testing from Sunday (10dpo).

@peaky297 @joeyww, I'm ok thank you , just no idea what is going on yet . I called the midwife help line and she said to test in one week and if positive then I can go for a scan as it's too early 4+5 at the moment. I have no more bleeding but brown spotting all the time , I hate not knowing but I have a bad feeling.
My tests this morning were fainter than yesterday. The midwife said go too much on line progression but 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hope you girls are feeling positive for this month xx

Welcome @buckingmad fingers crossed for you this month 🤞🏻sorry to hear about last month’s loss 😔
Hope the wait isn’t too agonising @honeybee1986 I imagine the not knowing is the most difficult bit.
AF has arrived for me today (of a fashion - very light at the minute which concerns me re potential adhesion recurrence but perhaps it’ll get a bit heavier 🤞🏻) Onwards and upwards with this new cycle - perhaps 22nd month’s a charm!! 🤪😂

Hope nobody minds me joining.

Cycle 23 of trying for our first baby. I'm 27, DH is 28. Currently 11 DPO and I don't even want to look at a test because I know what's coming next

Hi @Anonhopingforbaby sorry to hear it’s turning out to be such a long journey for you.. have you been referred to your local fertility services?

@joeyww yes we've been referred but on a huge waiting list! Everything feels a little despondent right now

Morning girls , sadly an early loss for me . Bleeding very heavily now and pain . Really devastated to have had 2 MC now 😢.
Onwards and upwards to the next cycles xx

Oh @honeybee1986 I am so sorry. Sending lots of love xx

@honeybee1986 I'm so sorry lovely - really hope you're ok. We are here for you to talk to as much or as little as you want - you aren't alone 💐

@Anonhopingforbaby welcome to the group. Sorry to hear of the rough time you've had too.

I still don't have AF - I'm now 4 days late 🙈 eff knows what's going on. If nothing by the weekend will have to test again as a precaution, but I think my cycle is just all over the shop after last month x

Thank you girls ! I'm ok it's just really disappointing, over before it's even started .
Not meant to be this time . Hope all you girls are positive for this month and welcome to everyone new ❤️

Got a BFN and AF today.

Completely gutted and considering giving up so I can go and get drunk and eat a massive takeaway

Similar here. BFN yesterday and AF is due today.

We’ve just opened a bottle of wine. May as well make the most of this time 😊
