In the dreaded 2 week wait

Hello lovely ladies, wishing you all luck on your journey. Anybody else currently in the 2 week wait? It has to be the longest wait doesn't it? I am only 2 DPO and already want to test 😭. I know I will shortly start imagining symptoms now too 🙈

@WishUponAStar4 definitely a bit early, but we can't help ourselves.
I haven't, but I did think about it, but it might just mess with me 😂 have you?

WishUponAStar4 · 29/04/2025 15:54

@Mococo1 you could get a positive 9dpo but you can also get a false positive. What they say is to test on the day your period is due. I am too impatient for that. Give it another couple of days and try again 🙂 sometimes once is enough 🙂 good luck 😊

WishUponAStar4 · 29/04/2025 15:56

@jadiejade no I'm not either. Will just mess with my head 🙈🤣

@WishUponAStar4 who would have thought making babies would be so stressful 😂

WishUponAStar4 · 29/04/2025 16:56

@jadiejade I should proberly mention I am very lucky to have a little girl. She will be 1 in May. She was conceived straight after our wedding. No trying as such. So this time because we are 'trying' makes me stressed and overthink everything

@WishUponAStar4 oh that's so lovely, they would be so close in age and be best of friends if you are pregnant this time around.
I also have other children, I have been very blessed, and I was certain I was having no more. But since the loss last year, it's definitely made us think. I've tried to take a what will be will be approach, but that's a very difficult mindset to have.

This is making me feel better 😂 Thanks chat GPT

@WishUponAStar4 I definitely wont be using CB again complete waste of time and money for me!

My past 2 cycles have lengthened since taking folic acid (unless just coincidence) they do vary few days usually but this one is expected to be 35 days!!! according to when I ovulated which was much later this time. My luteal phase usually stays around 14/15 days. Are your cycles regular??

mummm2 · 29/04/2025 19:14

@jadiejade were the same! 8dpo on Friday too… I know I will probably test although I know far too early! Have you had any symptoms?

mummm2 · 29/04/2025 19:16

@Mococo1sorry to hear about BFN! Still very early tho so 🤞🏼 what makes you think you won’t fall pregnant? Did you try for long with your first baby?

mummm2 · 29/04/2025 19:20

So my symptoms today were just feeling damp like I needed to go to the toilet to wipe & then this evening bit of white CM in undies & white/creamy when wiped (sorry if TMI there’s no way to explain without sounding gross 🙈 ) .. anyone had anything similar?

Mococo1 · 29/04/2025 19:41

@mummm2quite the opposite got pregnant straight away but had a few chemicals and got preg on birth control too...only have one child to show for it and finally ready to try again! Worried as im a lot older now but fingers crossed if i do get pregnant its a sticky bean

mummm2 · 29/04/2025 19:56

@Mococo1 aw sorry to hear about chemicals! And wow on birth control too you must be super fertile 🤭 How old is your child?

Mococo1 · 29/04/2025 20:00

@mummm2that was my own fault, i missed two pills when a family member passed away and..then had a breakthrough bleed for 2 days and was meant to chuck the rest of the pills and start a new packet! I didnt and just kept popping pills and wound up pregnant and blamed period delay on overall stress- I have a soon to be 6yrold DD am a bit traumatised being pregnant so quite an age gap

mummm2 · 29/04/2025 20:06

Oh dear, yeah I bet that was a huge shock then and stressful for you! An age gap is lovely, I have two children 9 & 2 😊

mummm2 · 29/04/2025 19:14

@jadiejade were the same! 8dpo on Friday too… I know I will probably test although I know far too early! Have you had any symptoms?

I will most certainly be testing 😂 we can't not.
Nothing as of yet. Have you had any?

WishUponAStar4 · 29/04/2025 20:47

@jadiejade yeah I agree it's very hard to take a relaxed approach. It really kinda takes over doesnt it.

@Mococo1 I am weak. Good oul chat gbt 🤣 it is right though. You have time yet. Keep us updated 😊

@mummm2 I actually read some other posts that had those symptoms and got positives. I'm only 3dpo so if I have conceived it's not even implanted yet

OP posts:
Thomsonetthompson · 30/04/2025 07:03

@WishUponAStar4 how lovely to have a 1 year old! I have an almost 2 year old and it's making me really sad watching the age gap grow with every month I don't conceive.

I have never tested before 12dpo because I know I'll see a negative at 8dpo and immediately write the month off. But DP has been super invested since the MC and keeps asking what my ovulation sticks are doing and when I can test for pregnancy, so I don't know if I'll be able to hold off that long!

Mouche85 · 30/04/2025 08:32

Same as you 9DPO today.

Had a bit of white stuff early on but since, it's completely the opposit, not sure I ever felt this dry.

It's the second cycle we properly try but we are 39 (me) and 41.

Mouche85 · 30/04/2025 08:33

Do you think the early tests aren't good? We have a complete selection at home of brands and some early, some normal.

WishUponAStar4 · 30/04/2025 08:45

@Thomsonetthompson yeah I have always wanted them close in age. Hopefully it works out that way. 😊 there's still a nice gap between yours 😊 i got an early test with my first but I think I must have ovulated quite early. Got a positive opk and a very strong positive pregnancy 3 days later. The opk was obviously picking up on pregnancy.

mummm2 · 30/04/2025 09:01

Morning ladies. Feeling down today. Noticed bleeding whilst DTD last night had more when wiping before bed and then bit more this morning 😞 OPK higher this morning up to .65 & BBT stayed same as yesterday. Confused….!

WishUponAStar4 · 30/04/2025 09:04

@mummm2 could this be implantation bleeding ? I didn't have that with my first but alot of people get it. When is AF due ?

OP posts:
mummm2 · 30/04/2025 09:14

I had implantation with my 2nd but it was lighter pink at 8/9dpo. This was more bright red & then this morning there was a little clot & stringy bit (sorry far tmi) if I go by my normal LH phase 14 days AF will be due 8th

Itonlytakesone · 30/04/2025 10:26

I’m 3 dpo iv tested already!🤣bfn I feel pregnant though which I know is rediculous. Sore boobs for a couple days and slight white cream discharge not loads just different to normal at this point in my cycle. Joining here because I’m driving myself mad.
