Who else is in the 2WW currently? How many dpo are you? What symptoms do you have? How do we make time go faster?🤣

Fingers crossed for us all 🤞🏼❤️

I’m 8DPO today and stupidly caved and did a test this morning 😂😭 going to try and hold off doing another one until Friday!!
First cycle since miscarriage in October so feeling extremely desperate / impatient 🥹

How many days are you??

🤞🏼 🤞🏼

Holl89 · 27/12/2023 15:07

Oh… and zero symptoms 😭

Bb542 · 27/12/2023 15:15

Hi lovely. Oh I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I can only imagine how hard it must be. Hopefully you get some positive news this cycle 🤞🏼
I actually thought I was 9dpo but I'm not sure. I got my peak on Monday 18th December, so must've ovulated on the 19th. So I actually am probably 8dpo. I've been testing for a few days now. I do see a few lines on the easy @ home ones I'm doing but they always appear after the time window, so probably evaps. I did two clear blue early tests and they were both negative. It's so hard to wait 🥲
I've had mild cramping here and there and I had pink on the tissue after going to the toilet on Christmas Day. Just a once off though. I'm bloated but I'm always bloated so nothing new there 🤣 I was a bit cranky this morning but otherwise I feel normal.

Thank you 🥺💕
I thought I’d be more chilled after finally ovulating but now the TWW is actually here I am not chilled 😂

Awww your symptoms sound hopefully promising 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 maybe the blood was implantation bleeding??

I don’t remember having any symptoms back in September (when I was pregnant before testing) but I wasn’t as obsessed / symptom spotting then!

I’m also very bloated but I normally am anyway too 😂 and I’m constipated but guessing that’s from all the Christmas food 💩 💩

You’re exactly the same as me! I had my peak Monday 18th so assuming ovulation on 19th ☺️. Are you going to test every day from now?? I’m trying to hold off until Friday but I bet I test tomorrow 😂.
Are the easy@home ones early detection ones? I’ve been doing them but haven’t done a proper early detection one yet coz I didn’t want to waste them as I know it’s v early!

Mama09876 · 27/12/2023 16:27

Hey! I’m 10 dpo and very relaxed this time 😂 I think with it being Christmas there has been a lot to take my mind of it.
to be honest I’m not that hopeful this month either, we only managed to DTD the day of ovulation (48hrs after positive OPK) so I’m not really holding out hope.
due on on Sunday so just waiting for then really!
No symptoms as such, I’m really knackered today and yesterday but put that down to the post Christmas rush.

@Bb542 the small pink on tissue is good sign for implantation!

Good Luck ladies 🥰

pinkandredflowers · 27/12/2023 16:45

Hiii :) I am 7DPO today and already testing (negative!) I was fine while it was Christmas and Boxing Day but now can't help myself!!

Poppypear · 27/12/2023 17:10

Hi all. I'm 12DPO - i got spotting on Xmas day in the evening and was gutted but peroid has completly stopped today so only lasted 1. 5 days and they normally last 5 days. Not sure what this could be?? Wasn't a heavy peroid but more than light spotting some assume not an implant bleed.

Maybe as I only came off the pill in October so my cycle is still getting used to this! Has anyone else experienced this?

Best of luck to everyone and wishing you all BFPs!!

Does it take some time to start ovulating again after miscarriage? That's great that you've ovulated now. Hopefully there continues to be good news. 💖🤞🏼
I think all girls bloat, I am constantly bloated 🤣 sometimes I'm extremely bloated which I am now but it's probably all the Christmas food 😂
I just went to Boots and bought 3 more early detection tests. Might do another in the morning. I don't have high hopes for this cycle though for some reason. When will you test again do you think?

Will you do a test soon?

I'm the exact same. I've been totally consumed by it the last day or two. Suppose it's the fact I'm off work for Christmas and Christmas is technically over. What tests are you doing?

Hi gal! What colour was it? When are you due AF? Could've been implantation bleeding 🤞🏼

OP posts:
Jeragade123 · 27/12/2023 17:34

Hi all, currently 1dpo i think. Slightly confused as had EWCM starting last Thursday, positive OPK and clear clue digital Sunday. Now had EWCM again today so entirely sure 😩 due period next Sunday

Poppypear · 27/12/2023 17:45

AF was due today. I didn't really notice the colour tbh but it was definitely bright red on Xmas day and a bit darker yesterday. I thought implation bleeding was very light spotting? This was more like a light peroid for 36 hours!?!

Good luck with your testing 🙂

Applesandcake · 27/12/2023 19:03

Hi all! I am 6dpo! First cycle ttc no.3. I am also totally obsessed. I can think of barely anything else. I will be testing tomorrow even though I know it won’t show anything! I did get a positive at 8 and 9 dpo with my other two children though, so have it in my head that if I’m negative day ten, I’m probably out.

I do have symptoms but also know only too well how they really mean nothing! But I’ve had sore boobs since day two, breastfeeding aversion, aches in my lower abdominal, odd twinges, aching back like you get with period pain, and occasionally feeling sick. But I genuinely mean it when I say I don’t trust any of that though! But yes, I do feel pregnant!

Jeragade123 · 27/12/2023 19:17

I agree I’ve decided I’m pregnant the last 2 months deffo over think every single symptom. Ttc no 1 at 30

Nessie2395 · 27/12/2023 20:08

Hello! I'm 7dpo and no symptoms other than my breasts have been aching on and off the last few days but trying not to get my hopes up as probably PMS. We only BD on my peak day, probably the day before ovulation - only my 3rd cycle TTC number 1 and never been pregnant, so no idea what to expect

Good luck everyone 😊

Jeragade123 · 27/12/2023 19:17

Exactly. I fell pregnant on cycle 2 with both my children, and both times, I was entirely convinced I was pregnant the first month - and then deeply disappointed as I had been so sure! And then the second month when I was pregnant, I genuinely thought I wasn’t both times! So I know only too well it means nothing but it’s so hard not to read into things.

Bb542 · 27/12/2023 20:27

I'm also TTC baby #1. This is my first cycle too so as much as I'll be disappointed if I'm not pregnant, I know I have plenty of cycles to come.
I'm going mad with the testing 🤣 just did another one there... think it's negative 😭

Hi ladies can I join you pls? 4DPO, had a miscarriage in June which was an unexpected pregnancy. Then started trying properly three months ago and had a chemical straight away. Last cycle didn't work for us and now in the TWW for this one. Sending positive test vibes to you all!!!!x

Of course 🩷 the more the merrier here 🩷 I'm so sorry about your miscarriage and chemical. Really, really hope this is the month for you 🩷

I’m just going to wait till I’m due on Sunday and if no sign of period I’ll take a test. The past couple of cycles I’ve tested early and been disappointed so I’m just holding out. I think cause I think I’m not pregnant I’m not as crazy as I have been with testing etc 😂

I agree with the other ladies the cycle I fell pregnant with my first I thought I wasn’t after a few months of disappointment, I just thought we’ll see but I don’t think I will be then I was! I only actually DTD twice that time as well, 3 days before ovulation and on the day of ovulation. So we’ll see what happens this month!

I do enjoy seeing the BFP on here! Good luck ladies 🍀

Hi Nic17, welcome. I also had a miscarriage early this year (in May!m) due to an unexpected pregnancy. It was very upsetting but did at least get us talking seriously about if we wanted a third. Evidently we decided we did!

I’m also sorry about the chemical, all so upsetting. It sound as if generally you fall pregnant easily, so fingers crossed for this one and that it turns into a healthy pregnancy for you.

Applesandcake · 27/12/2023 20:51

Anyone else testing tomorrow?? I will be as I said despite being 7dpo and having zero expectations, but still technically will be! So I will update with the inevitable negative! And will test every day after that I imagine 🤔

Hollycharlie · 27/12/2023 20:54

Hi ladies, can I join you please. I’m on dpo 5, mmc in August 4 th cycle after totally unplanned pregnancy. But since it’s happened I’m desperate for another which is probably too late . Did SMEP this month so let’s see if it works 😂 friend older than me just posted she’s expecting and only 3 months to go on fb, and I’m desperate to find out if she’s carrying baby or ivf due to the horrific negative things said about women trying to conceive in their forties but not the done thing to ask I’m sure . (I honestly do not feel my age.🙈)

Yesss! Every day. Probably multiple times a day. Can't help myself eek
