2WW - How are we all feeling?

[Bb542]

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 🤞🏼❤️

It’s very reassuring to know I’m not the only one! It defies logic my compulsion to tests this early!

@Applesandcake thank you so much, and I'm sorry for your miscarriage also, gosh they're hard hitting. I absolutely agree though, it pushed us to really start trying and I'm very grateful for that. Considering the pregnancy with the miscarriage was a result of DTD just once I'm inclined to agree that hopefully I fall again soon and we'll hope it sticks. So much hope for you also xx

I also did smep this month and I’ve had enough 😅 feels quite full on having to do it so often

I've been testing twice a day for the last couple of days so will continue to update here too. Even though I know they'll be negative again 🤣

I bought some boots early tests today, might do one tomorrow. Has anyone used them before? I can't get the first response ones anywhere.

7dpo, negative first response - as I 100% knew it would be! So not feeling disappointed. The next three days feel bigger.

I’ve woken up, with a lot of cm, boobs still sore and feel bigger and I feel sick. But I do have a cold and sore throat so that could be making me feel nauseous. Sore boobs is very odd though as I do not get that with pmt and only have it when pregnant. If I’m not pregnant, my body is playing a mean trick on me.

@Applesandcake this all sounds promising!!! Glad you're not disappointed by the test, it really is so early at 7DPO, but no judgement, I love to test early!

All sounds very promising 🤞🏼 when will you test again? I did a boots early test this morning and it's a BFN. Think I'm out this month 🥲

Do you have any symptoms? Is this your first baby?

What should CM be like at 6-12dpo? Apart from some creamy/yellow last night, it's been clear.

Also, on nearly every easy @ home I take, I get these lines. How does every test have these indent/evap lines? So annoying 💔

Did a first response test this morning 9DPO and big fat negative 😭
Feel disheartened but I know its still really early… I wish I’d waited and not tested early at all 🥺
I have zero symptoms either!

It's so disheartening isn't it? But I think at 9dpo we've still got a few days of hope 🤞🏼

@Bb542 I’ve just seen you had a negative too
I tested at 11DPO in Sept pre miscarriage and got a strong positive, but that’s the earliest I tested and I’ve never tested this early before.
Lets try stay positive 🤞🏼

@Bb542 the boots early ones are really good!!!

How many DPO are you? I can defo see a hint of a line on that test!

I convince myself everytime that I can see a shadow on the cheap ones but my clear blue was v negative. Only 8 DPO tho so fingers crossed 🤞

Hopefully we'll have more answers in the next few days. Just want to know now one way or the other so I can stop being so consumed by testing 🤣 until the next cycle...😭🙈

Hi lovely. I'm 9dpo. I think that line is an evap unfortunately 💔 every other brand I've used is negative. Still hoping it's too early to tell but I suppose the next 48 hours will be key.

Have you been testing much? Is this your first time TTC? I am the same as you. Always convincing myself that there's a squinter. Then I show DP and he's like "there is no line" 🤣

Meeeee AF is due in 4 days but gonna test later today as been having worst heartburn since yesterday (only ever happened when I was pregnant before) and so tired also only want plain food and don’t really have pms symptoms

That all sounds very positive @1111hope . Keep us updated. I like this little group we've got going 🥰

Me too! I don’t know why I felt really positive energy & vibes when I clicked on this group! I’d been taking a break from this site as I sadly had a miscarriage 1st Nov and I try not get engaged in other sad stories and just try now focus on the positive ones! so praying this is it this month after reading so many positive stories of conceiving after mmc and having a healthy baby I feel confident! Will let u all know later today - making my partner go out and get me a test and chicken nuggets as it’s all I fancy 🤣 winning combo xx

@Bb542 definitely still early! I've only really got positives on 10dpo before. I got a super super super faint line on a FRER once at 9 dpo. The cheapie sticks usually longer.

Not first time! I have a little girl nearly 3 and have had 2 mcs so I feel like I've been here manyyy times before but fingers crossed for this cycle!

I just bought 2 early boots ones and did both and they are negative. Spent a lot of time convincing myself there was a shadow but pretty sure it's just my eyes!

I'm only 8 DPO but I feel like 8-11 is the best time to be crazy about testing because if it's not positive yet you still have a good chance! I've never got a a positive after 12DPO so usually know by then.

I just did another test and it's 100% negative. Just want to know at this stage. AF due this weekend so we'll see, but don't have a good feeling.

I know it's TMI, but but what's everyone's CM like now? I don't know what it should look like after conception 🤔

@Bb542 mine was negative too :( I’m due on Monday x

I’m sorry to all who have had negatives - but remember you aren’t out until AF comes.

I’m feeling very nervous about testing tomorrow. I’ll be 8dpo and this I the date I had it positive with my son, so even though it’s still very early, it feels like the first real chance that a positive test would show up.

I’ve been all over the place today. Flipping between convinced I am pregnant, and feeling disappointed and convinced I’m not. I feel like this one month I’ve become obsessed! It’s not healthy and the idea of doing this every month for many months to come is not fun. I really need to find a way to chill a bit! I know I can get pregnant, I have strong reason to believe I can pretty easily, so if we just get the timing right, I will fall pregnant at some point - yet I feel totally irrational about it!

I had what looked like a tiny pink mark on my - annoyingly - peach coloured knickers this morning and the only thing I can think it could be is a tiny bit of blood. I’ve never had implantation bleeding before but it gave me hope, which then scared me as I don’t want to be really disappointed!

I totally relate to this. I feel this has consumed me for the last week and it's not good. I'm normally so busy with work and everything else in my busy life, but now that it's the Christmas Holidays I haven't got as much to distract me. I can't imagine it being like this next month when I'm back to work because I won't have time to let it consume me. I'm hoping, anyway.
Don't panic if you don't see a vvfl tomorrow. Still lots of time. I'm 9dpo and while I'm starting to get disheartened, have to keep reminding myself that it's early days. This would be my first pregnancy so I don't know what to feel or to expect. I'm a little crampy and gassy today but I suppose that could mean AF is on the way 😭💔

Thank you 😊 I felt better reading this!

I will do my best to stay philosophical tomorrow… for 1, even though I had a positive with my son on day 8, with my daughter it was 9dpo; 2, every pregnancy is different so just because I had early positives with those two, doesn’t mean I will again; and 3, it’s only our first month even if it’s negative!

You’re right about Christmas, I haven’t been working either so this is all I can think of. Hopefully next month will be easier for us if we don’t get out bfp this month!

I know lots of women who don’t get a positive until 11/12dpo. So you’re definitively still in, it’s only because I’ve had early ones before that I expect it.

Exactly 🥰 all pregnancies will be different. We just have to let nature run its course and if it's meant to be, it'll be 🥰
I was supposed to have tests arriving from Amazon today but they haven't showed up. Maybe that's a good thing for me so I can stop testing 🤣 I have a few left so will prob test again in the morning and then if it's negative I'll just wait for AF.
