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 🤞🏼❤️

Yep I’m just going to wait for my AF now too gals someone commented and said I’m not fully out yet as I actually don’t know properly when I ovulated I wasn’t tracking. I feel like we put so much pressure on it and it really does consume you! We’ve been ttc since June, had 1 pregnancy which ended at 5w 3 days sadly now we go again. I keep reading everywhere to take baby aspirin daily so considering it in the new year! Also my mums friend to take magnesium every night. I was taking the pregnacare but so many mixed reviews, also going to stop drinking In January hopefully that will help too! Good luck to you all I pray we get some positives this month even if it isn’t me 🫶🏼

8dpo and it’s a negative :( I have line eyes and kept thinking maybe maybe I sore the the smallest shadow, but I really think this is just a stretch on the screen. I’m trying not to feel disappointed as there is still time, and it’s our first cycle, but I feel disheartened. Next two days feel like big ones…

Anyone else?

Don't worry @Applesandcake still plenty of time. I'm 10dpo today and did an early test and a normal one, both completely negative. I think I'm out for this month 💔

Holl89 · 29/12/2023 09:27

@Bb542 negative for me this morning too 💔
I think I’m out this month too 😢 but lots of dont don’t get positives until day 11/12 so still hope I guess xx

Applesandcake · 29/12/2023 09:35

I am trying to remind myself that it’s natural to feel disappointed when you don’t see that line, even if it’s super early. It shows how much we all want this and how much it means to us. Plus, it’s just such an anticlimactic end! You excitedly wait for your fertile window, dtd, finally ovulate! Then weeks of symptom spotting, wondering etc… and then nothing comes of it. We agreed to start trying this month back on May, so on top of all the above, I’ve also been counting the months down until now! So it’s just very … anticlimactic. Also if you’ve had symptoms, you can then feel a bit crazy, like you can’t trust your body.

@Holl89 so sorry 💔 let's try not to lose hope until when/if AF arrives.

@Applesandcake couldn't have said it better myself. We also agreed to start trying in December back during the summer so I suppose when you're not pregnant the ending is totally anticlimatic.

What day of your cycles are you on? And when is AF due? I'm cycle day 28 today... my cycles are normally anywhere between 27-29 days so will be interesting to see if AF comes today.

Feeling very bloated and gassy so that could be a sign AF is coming 🤔

I’m only 8dpo! But it’s because I got a positive with my other children on day 8 and 9. My cycle is around 27-29 days. AF due on Thursday.

I think I'm most definitely out. I've got period cramps now so I suppose it's just a waiting game now to see when AF shows up 😭

Hi ladies, got my fingers crossed for all of you. Sometimes positives show up well after period is due, and each pregnancy is different. Keep us posted!

I'm 7DPO today. Noticing some weird things that I don't think can be conception related but the TWW has me hyper aware of EVERYTHING. I usually without fail have the oiliest of oily skin, even in the coldest of winters, but yesterday and today my skin has turned super dry and none of my makeup will sit on my face right and it's stressing me out 😅 secondly, I seem to have developed a bumpy itchyrash wearing my usual gold jewellery?! How strange. No real symptoms yet but will see what the next few days bring...

Got my🤞🏻 for us all!! Xxx

Hi @Nic17 . They sound like promising signs!! When will you start testing? Keep us updated won't you?

Still no AF for me and no positive test 🤔 if I had to put my money on it I'd say I'm not pregnant but who knows 😅

OP posts:

Starlight11111 · 30/12/2023 00:49

Thanks @Bb542! I very much doubt they are related to TTC, and I so wish I could stop being so hyper aware. I think I'm going to try and hold off testing until New Year's Day. Usually I'm the type to start testing at 7DPO but I'm particularly busy this month and hoping to keep busy until then when I'll be 10DPO.

Keep us posted if your AF arrives, mine was 4 days late last cycle which really stressed me out. I put it down to taking pregnacare since I've been like clockwork for 18 months since coming off the pill. I've moved to seven seas this month so we'll see.

Which vitamins are you all taking? Xx

11dpo and BFN. Just waiting for AF now.

I'm taking vitamin D a+ folic acid. What about you guys?

I’m sorry Bb542. I’m 9dpo and a very stark negative which means the odds are against me now. Apparently at 9dpo 76% of pregnant people will get a positive on the early tests. So there is only a small chance left.

It’s just so odd as I’ve had sore boobs since 2dpo and the only time I’ve had this symptoms in 6 years is when pregnant with my first and pregnant with my second. Any other symptoms I can explain with other things, but it’s so cruel that my body decided to give me sore boobs for the first time this month!

Hopefully we're in the small minority who get a bfp late 🤣 it's weird... when I tested this morning I really thought I saw a line developing on the boots early one. While it was developing the second line was white but you could see it. Had myself convinced but when it dried you couldn't see it. 💔

That’s so disappointing! I swear tests give more evap lines/indents than they did when I was ttc my first 6 years ago. Then, the only lines I ever saw at all were positives, however light. Now I can see indents on tests before they’ve even been used! I will never buy the cheap one step 10mlu ones again. They give always evaps. If I hadn’t realised this (as I had a line at 5dpo and knew this was impossible!) I would have been so disappointed when it turned out to be a false positive.

I am feeling a bit miserable today, which is mad as it’s only our first month ttc! But the sore boobs symptom (which hasn’t gone yet) just through me off and made me think I must be.

Mama09876 · 30/12/2023 10:30

@Bb542 this happened to me with the boots one last month! A line came up straight away but then disappeared so took another one and filmed it and you could see it was like the liquid but annoying cause it gives false hope!

im around 13 dpo today and ordered a clear blue digital to arrive today but to be honest im feeling like period is due to arrive! The all the signs are there.

Bb542 · 30/12/2023 10:41

@Applesandcake I totally get how you feel. But I still think you've a few days left to be hopeful. When will you test again?

@Mama09876 that's crazy. I was so hopeful. When is your AF due? I'm due today and have cramps so just a waiting game now 💔

OP posts:

Mama09876 · 30/12/2023 10:54

@Bb542 app is saying due tomorrow which would make sense as I’m feeling so tired today and cramping a little bit. No spotting yet though. I’ve just got to the point where I just wanna know now! So I’ll do a test when it arrives. I have to say the cramps don’t really feel like period cramps and I’ve got terrible lower back ache but that does happen before I’m due on!

Hope there is a few more positives before the end of the year ladies 🤞🏻

1111hope · 30/12/2023 12:23

My mum told me to take magnesium she was recommended by a woman from another country who said everyone there takes it to stay pregnant I’m going to get some for January! It’s supposed to be good to sleep too!

AF due Monday but still no usual pms symptoms and still getting indigestion every time I eat :( haven’t tested since Thursday when it was negative will wait now and see if AF late or shall I test today? 🤣 surely it should now right? I have a spare in the drawer

1111hope · 30/12/2023 13:46

I tested and I think I got my bfp!!! Two days before my period so not sure if it’s too light - what do you think???

Holl89 · 30/12/2023 13:54

@1111hope same here… v faint 3 days before my period!
hoping mine aren’t indents / false positives 🥺🙏🏼

1111hope · 30/12/2023 14:02

@Holl89 they look good to me!! Congratulations xxx
