Who else is in the dread 2ww, awaiting to find out id December will deliver 2 lines on the stick?

Thought I'd make a December thread to hopefully share stories, the good and the bad! Good luck everyone for December!

2-4dpo - woke up to bad lower back pain, it woke me up a few times in the night and I was cramping like period cramps all morning and then on and off towards the evening (this is odd for me as I never cramp unless I'm actually in full flow) feeling bloated.

3-5dpo - cramping like I would if I was on my period, very Gassy. Lower back pain, Boobs feel sensitive behind my nipples. Really hungry

4-6dpo, alot less cramping today, very Gassy, loose bowel movements, absolutely starving today. Lower back pain, Boobs seem more sensitive today - bfn, super early...I know

5-7dpo. Very Gassy(smelly) , twinges in my uterus area, very mild cramping. I feel very bloated today, starting craving a hot curry late at night which is abit weird considering I don't like hot curry's, I find tikka as hot as I can manage but I wanted SPICE
Headaches towards the evening which I don't often get.

6-8dpo - very tired today, Lower pain back still, headache, absolutely starving, still craving hot curry made a chilli bean curry at 11am to satisfy my curry need
Started cleaning my kitchen cupboards but ended up on the sofa with a headache.....had a 2 hour nap (oops) woke up starving again
Started getting period like cramps again, also😂 I sneezed and I thought I'd blew out the right hand side of my abdominal wall...it was very sharp like a stretching feeling? I have had a c-section 8 years ago and it kind of feels abit like when you move too fast in the first few months (does that make sense?)

I've been ttc for 6 years now....I'm hopeful but scared as that I'm obsessing over symptoms! I've ordered 10 cheapies from amazon which are arriving tomorrow....when should I test??🤔

Hi,

8dpo today and had a dip in my BBT - hoping its implantation dip and not AF coming! Also having twinges - i am going to wait until 12po - there nothing worse than testing - and then i find AF just comes along and kicks me in the stomach.

How are you feeling? Did you test @SazzyBa .

I am also super gassy, bloated - no sore boobs though! Lots of twinges although ive started wondering if imaging the twinges.

Got my fingers and toes crossed for you!! Its so hard when you think you're imagining it all, but I really hope its your month! 4 days until you test then - why does it drag so much!

I personally don't do my BBT but I feel really hot today! I just walked my daughter to school and back home and I stripped off because I'm sweating 😂

I haven't tested today yet but I do have tests coming from Amazon today
In my mind I feel absolutely pregnant...however with me trying 6 years I'm telling myself I'm being stupid!! and I need to get it out of my head. its difficult isn't it :( I feel like im definitely going to test as soon as my tests arrive but I am scared to see the dread BFN...I know they say we're not out until AF shows...I kept joking to my partner saying for xmas I want a baby....and now all these symptoms, we definitely bedding on the day I ov'd and the day before and after...

but today is 7dpo according to my app but personally I think its 9dpo because I'm sure I ovulated 2/3 days before my app predicted...

so 7/9dpo - Woke up and my boobs feel so full and heavy! they're hurting me quite abit today, and my back...jeez. Also..might sound abit mad but my abdomen felt firmer this morning, i placed my hand on it when I was waking up, although it could just be me bloating...I was cutting cucumber slices for my daughter this morning and I swear they smelt alot more cucumbery then normal lmao. that and the fact im boiling!

Sending baby dust to you for xmas! 🙏

I think I must have been making this all up in my head 😅

With me being around 9dpo I thought I could test...and with how many symptoms I'm having I would have expected AT LEAST a squinter....Stark white!

I think I'm out!

You're never out until AF comes. Keep the faith xxxx

Hi ladies 8DPO (well 8 days past predicted ovulation), was terrible at doing OPKs this month. I've had a squinter on E@H this morning but not sure if is evap :/ it came up within the time and has colour :/ I had one yesterday too but I'm pretty sure that was an evap as the dye took over 10mins to go right accross

I'm 5 DPO today, this is our first cycle after a loss so I'm really hoping there might be some truth in the anecdote 'you're more fertile after a loss'.

We had been trying for 18 months before, and I actually missed all of the 'how many DPO/when should I test as I had a bit of pink discharge when I wiped, about a week after ovulation. I thought it was my usual pre-period spotting so I thought I was out that month. Now I realise it was probably implantation bleeding.

I felt a little twinge on my right hand side today, getting excited!

praying4babba · 29/11/2023 18:15

Hi Ladies, 2ww friend here! Praying for all of you to have your babydust!!

I a 7dpo, have the worst lower back pain, very dull. I suffer from a very bad back but this feels different so either period coming or you never know. Lots of twinges lower abdomen. Feeling completely wiped out today. We had a failed IVF two months ago after doing the whole wham bam thank you mame. Have adeno so went into Medical Menopause for 12 weeks so we had to do menopur and trigger for me to ovulate as I am currently waiting to come out of menopause. Anyway just a long read for all of you while we sit and wait for Af to turn up or our DOUBLE LINES , sending baby dust.

SazzyBa · 01/12/2023 19:10

Hey Chick, I'm really sorry but I personally can't see any lines on any of those tests :( but if you can see it in person then thats all that matters!

have you tested again since?

Gosh if that's an evap it's a very mean on! Thank you for your lovely comment, I'm trying to not get too excited after a chemical in august, I'm going to be testing like crazy!

Thanks @Whisperdoodle1 glad it's not just me seeing it 😂😂
When would you all recommend re-testing or shall I be a bit more patient and wait til AF due on Saturday haha.

Hope everyone's all well.

MrsScotland · 03/12/2023 17:22

I did a sneaky early test today at 9DPO but nothing yet. I’m really too early I think, period isn’t due till next Saturday!

well periods due in 2/3 days, between 11/13DPO.......all my symptoms seemed to have vanished into thin air! deffo out this month, just feels like my periods due.

I also got this really weird test..but I can't say it was read within 10 mins and apparently they're notorious for giving evaps! this isn't a full line so I can only assume this too is an evap....

what a strange month for evaps and indents! honestly!
did a test this morning....BFN
