TWW Day 1

[Clara202]

My first ever two week wait! Day one post ovulation, if I’ve done the maths correctly! Anyone else?

@Clara202 Im also eating all around me I stress eat 🤣🙈

Any twinges anyone?😂

@Clara202 Yes definitely stronger twinges today, I can feel them even when standing still or sitting. Hoping its a good sign 🤞 You?

@ThatSnugSwan off and on but nothing overly strong. I felt something in my lower left side but again nothing that I’d describe as particularly noteworthy! Boobs still very sore but as I haven’t had periods in years (the pill), maybe I always had sore boobs before my period and just don’t remember! Any recommendations on cheap pregnancy tests? I don’t want to test too early as I wonder if I’m better off just not knowing if i have a chemical, but on the other hand is it better to know because if there’s even a hint of a line I’d know not to have a drink at the wedding tomorrow 😅

@Clara202 I bought the test strips from boots 5 in a pack. They arent early detection ones though but thought they might satisfy me and ill do a boots early detection test on the day my period is due if I dont get it before then
After seeing so many posts on mumnet about evap lines I would avoid clear blue tests and try get a pink dye test I think boots brand early ones are pink but Im not sure

Hi ladies, hope you don’t mind me joining. I’m also in the 2ww with similar dates. Currently on day 5dpo. Probably testing around 17th -20th. I’m due on my period on 17th so if I can hold out until 20th I will already be late by a few days. But I ovulate late in cycle so won’t really get a positive until I’m already late. I also had implantation bleeding with all of my pregnancies which was bleeding for 3ish days and then stopped.

I have had 3 pregnancies- first was a mmc at 9 weeks, second a healthy baby girl and third was a mmc at 7/8 weeks. The last MC I had was in July. So I’ve ramped up my nutrition, started taking some supplements and have cut a few things out of my diet to give me the best shot. I’m also 38 (39 in April) so really would like to conceive asap to complete our family. Good luck to everyone on here in the next few days/weeks.

Hi @LS888 Hope its a good month for you too and sorry for your losses 🤍
What supplements are you taking if you dont mind me asking? Im taking folic acid and vit D3. Im 34 and had my last baby 6 years ago

@ThatSnugSwan I am taking a multivitamin, folic acid with D, ubiquinol and DHA. I got the Ubiquinol and DHA from Zita West online. They are both supposed to be good for egg quality in ‘older’ ladies. I did some reading about creating a fertile body. I was recommended the book ‘fertile’ by Emma Cannon by a friend. I’ve just made a few adaptations to my diet based on that. I don’t know if my mmc were due to egg quality or just unlucky that particular month and I guess I won’t know. But just thought every little helps!

@LS888 welcome to the group! Nice to have another 38 year old in out mix! It’s my first time ttc so I’m only taking Proceive at the moment to see how I get on, I alternate between the Max version and the tablets.

@Clara202 thanks ☺️ I only took folic acid and vitamin D when I first conceived my little girl. I then tried pregnacare when I was pregnant but couldn’t handle them as they made me feel sick all day alongside generally feeling nauseous. So they weren’t for me! I have also taken proceive in the past too. The ones I’m trying now are quite expensive but think you have to stop the ubiquinol if you do conceive.

When is everyone planning to test? I think I’ve decided on Thursday

I think it will be a miracle if I hold out until Wednesday thats 10 dpo then. Im gona use cheap strips to test first because I spent a fortune on tests a few months ago

Sorry Tuesday is actually 10 dpo so maybe Tuesday or Wednesday

I’ve got some cheap ones ordered as well. I have a Clearblue 3 pack which I thought were all digital but looks like two are the ones that are notorious for evaps so I’ll hold out and just use the digital on Thursday I think. Any noticeable symptoms today? My sore boobs seem to be calming a bit

No symptoms only I still have the pulling sensation in my lower left side so I have no idea whether to feel hopeful or not, time will tell. The waiting is torture. Sore boobs is a really good sign 😊

@Clara202

Hey everyone, I'm around 8 dpo today. I'm really nervous because I have no sore boobs yet and they always start hurting by now except last month when I had a chemical. So I'm worried it's going to be the same again 🙁 I don't really have any symptoms at all yet. I tested at 11 dpo last month and because of what happened I really want to hold out until at least 16 dpo this time, that will be next Monday, so another 8 days!! 😩 That will be a very long wait!!!

My sore boobs are almost gone now, they were so sore the last 3 days or so, and felt so heavy and fuller. They’re still a small bit tender but nothing compared to the days before so I’m not sure what to make of that. I have no twinges or anything else today.
@Pennyroses I might chicken out of testing on Thursday myself so I might wait with you as well! I’m changing my mind daily on that 😅
is there any benefit at all in knowing if you’ve had a chemical, from a medical point of view?

@Clara202 I don't think so, I haven't mentioned it to my doctor or anything. To be honest I think I would have known anyway, that 'period' was a lot heavier and more painful than usual with quite large clots which I don't usually get. I suppose it depends what your period is normally like, if it's heavy and painful you maybe wouldn't know the difference? In a way I'm glad it shows I can get pregnant though.
I'm going to try so hard to stay strong and not test! I really don't want to see a negative so I think that will hopefully help stop me 😬 x

I won’t be testing any earlier than Thursday. That’s when my period is due. So holding out until then.

Still holding out and havnt tested yet 9dpo and to be honest seeing some tests on this forum of women asking and thinking they maybe see a line or not has made me think I dont want to test early I think it will drive me crazy. Due AF on Saturday and hoping I get a sign before then like Implantation bleeding as Ive always got it when pregnant. Still having the pulling sensation in my left side which is starting to worry me now so if this isnt my month ill be going to my GP and dicusssing that left sensation, its keeping me awake at night. How is everyone doing today?

According to my app I’m due on Saturday as well but I’m not long off the pill and I was quite irregular even when I was off it as well so I’m not really expecting it to arrive then anyway. I’ll wait until Thursday or Friday and use the digital. At least there won’t be any second guessing that result!
@ThatSnugSwan that pulling to me sounds like a sign of something cooking🙏🏻 I have no signs at all, even the sore boobs have eased.

Hi all, hope you don’t mind me joining.
this is montn 6 of trying for no2, I’ve had 2 chemicals. My first happened within 6 weeks of coming off the pill so I assumed it’d be quick this time around also but being 37 I guess I’ve got to be realistic.
im 7/8 dpo been having mild cramps since day 3 and since day 5po weird tingling and burning sensations in my boobs but they’re fine too touch.
no idea when I’ll test as I don’t want to disappointed again

Welcome @Samthenanny
Do you remember what days po you tested when you had the chemicals? Hoping for a more positive result for you soon x

@Clara202 first was 10dpo and I got super excited .second was 12dpo
