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 🤞🏼❤️

Hi everyone!

Currently 3 dpo here. I had a tiny bit of spotting yesterday, an ovulation bleed maybe? I’ve never had one before so it was a little strange. I have had quite bad ovulation pains this month though, so it could be related to that, not sure!

All of you testing early, that’ll be me too - I just can’t help myself !!!

Omg wowww!! Amazing. And had you been testing negative until now? This gives me hope. Still no AF but I've cramps now. I normally don't get period cramps too badly but these are turning me off my food 💔

Hi @BucksOxonMum !! I'm with you... taking multiple tests a day atm. Throwing money down the drain 😅 suggested a trip to Boots earlier and DP gave me the daggers 🤣

Thank you @1111hope huge congratulations to you 💗💗

@Bb542 thank you 😭 although I’m not taking it as an actual positive until the morning if it’s darker 🥺 and when I do a clearblue digital one in the morning too! I’m just so worried they’re false positives (I’ve read too much about them I think!). So I’m praying tomorrow is good news 🙏🏼

I’m 11DPO today. I say my period is due Tuesday but I’m not actually sure when it’s due, taking it as 14 days after ovulation? I’ve not had a period since August because of my miscarriage ☹️

Have you done another test this morning? X

Also previously an earlier tester, I’m on cycle 3 just first official tracking etc month. But I think it made me mentally ill keep testing. I know it’s hard but try not to test early at least wait it out till 11/12 dpo that’s my plan this time

I totally get you. Test again later this evening after a hold and in the morning to give you some reassurance. But tentative congratulations 🥰 had you been testing every day? Is this the first positive you're seeing?

I'm 11dpo too. Did a test this morning and was negative. I'm due AF today or tomorrow and cramps so I'm not very hopeful 💔

@Bb542 Yes every day the last 3 days! I had a definite negative on first response test yesterday, but did a easy@home cheap one last night but it was so similar to the ones you were getting, looking like faulty ones / indentations! But todays definitely has the faintest bit of pink in there / more obvious than yesterday I just still have a feeling deep down that todays could be false positives 💔. Think it’s coz I want it so badly I’m scared to get my hopes up but I will be devastated tomorrow if it doesn’t look good.

hopefully the craps aren’t period cramps 🙏🏼 I just saw you don’t normally get them! I’ve read so many people not get positives until 11-14DPO so there’s still chance 💗

Cramps not craps 🙈😂

@Bb542 I tested negative until this afternoon yes :) and it’s very very light no New Year’s Eve drinking for me haha have you tested again today yet? I went off my food a few days ago could only stomach chips and chicken haha

Negative for me today! Just waiting for AF now! 😩

Just tested again after coming home this evening and it's negative. No sign of AF 🤔 I'll be 12dpo tomorrow so I think that's too late to get a positive so I just want AF to come now so I can move on 😭

How many dpo are you?

I wasn’t great at tracking this month but I think around 13 dpo. I’ll either be 12/13 dpo

I have posted on another thread but this is mine today, boots and came up after about 4 mins. What do people think? I don't think I believe it at all. Will get a clear blue over coming days.

Edited to add that I reckon I'm around 11DPO today (or 10 as I roughly worked it out) AF due on Tuesday) and I'm extremely crampy, it feels incredibly like a period cramp.

That looks great to me 😍 keep us posted 🤞🏼

@Mama09876 I think I'm 11dpo today so similar to you 🥰

Replying to your edit...

That's crazy. I'm 11dpo and getting stark negatives 😭 had you been testing every day? Please do let us know when you test tomorrow 🥰

Soo pleased for everyone getting positives ❤️

Thanks for your quick response, I really appreciate it :)
I really hope you get a BFP too.

I'm on month 4 of trying and I got sooo consumed month 1 and 2, month 3 I decided to chill out a bit and this month Christmas has kept me busy. I did a test last night and it looked negative, we went out for dinner and came back and saw a line but thought can't be right.
Then I did that one this morning FMU and that appeared within 4-5 mins. But it was from the same pack so I'm not sure whether I believe it!
Unfortunately I won't be testing tomorrow as we are away with family and don't want anyone to notice so next chance will be Monday I think but I will definitely report back.

That’s defo a positive @TTCnewbies congratulations!! I think that’s looking strong for 11 DPO as well.

@TTCnewbies that's definitely positive! Mine looked like that but lighter! & other tests have just got darker now. (23rd and 24th mixed up in photo) got my BFP this last week after 3 miscarriages this year!

@TTCnewbies this test looks great!!! Keep us posted! And congrats @karma3!!!

Ladies I feel so nauseous today, hit me out of nowhere, tested and I think I see a shadow but my camera won't pick it up. Will see how it goes over the next few days xx

Oh wow congratulations @karma3 🩷 amazing news!!

@Nic17 ooh very exciting. Keep us updated. How many dpo are you? I don't know what I did wrong this cycle... DTD enough before and on ovulation but 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks everyone! Sorry I just jumped on this post without introducing myself 😂 praying this is a sticky bean. I have the midwife calling me tomorrow to arrange extra scans in the EPU!

@Bb542 I'm 8DPO today. For my previous pregnancies (both lost) I got faint lines much later on (11-14 days). You certainly didn't do anything wrong. I think I've read that for an average couple there's only a 20% chance of conception each cycle (don't quote me exactly...) but it's just a trying and hoping game isn't it. I hope you don't get AF xxx

I’m with you in the not this month camp I think. 10dpo negative on first response. I don’t even want to test again this month frankly. Going to chuck all the wrappers/old tests etc and focus on getting on with organising the house ready for next month. My fertile window starts in two weeks ish anyway, so have to focus on the fact it’s not long to wait.

You/we didn’t do anything wrong though. Even if sperm is there, ready and waiting for the egg, there is only a 20% chance it will lead to pregnancy. The egg has to be healthy, the sperm has to be healthy and successfully fertilise, then the egg has to successfully implant, and the lining of the womb needs to be the right environment, and then no random genetic mutations have to not develop which mean the body automatically rejects the egg. It’s complicated!

To be fair, I’ve been very overworked and stressed this past month and eating a lot of sugar every day, which may have had no impact at all, but also doesn’t tell the body it’s a nice safe time to have a baby!

remind me, is this your first cycle?

Yeah, you're right. In that comment I more meant that I was sure I didn't mess up my ovulation day/fertile window but you're right, even if I got it 100% right there are so many other factors.

I'm also going to stop testing and wait for AF, who is late now. I'm never late, so she's just being cruel 😂 onto the next cycle I guess whenever she shows!
