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 🙈

@tillybud89 I feel your pain. My AF is horrific this month but last month after chemical it was hardly anything. I’m going to dose up today. Isn’t it funny we just know when it’s going to be a bad one.

It really is! Im like ok im ready for it so let's start now then I can focus on next cycle! Off to re join Slimming world today. Before I for pregnant id already put on some weight that id lost last year then after mc I just snacked! So thought right im going to go back and it will also give me something else to focus on other then baby baby baby! Lol although tbf my other dds obviously do that as well it's just more something that's mine to focus on. I find it really hard food wise and baby making wise as work nights. Only 3 a week but it messes things up!
Anyway. Dose up. If your working then just think of the tea and bed waiting at home lol if your at home then get cosy with a film xxxxx

Morning ladies. How are we all? Im getting frustrated with AF. Im in no doubt shes coming as had cramps for 2 days and back pain but I wish she'd just show! Got a feeling will be a bad one as well. 1st one after mc wasn't to bad and tbh the whole mc itself i didn't bleed alot so this feels little like it's going to catch up with me 🙈 due on today so hopefully by tea shes reared her ugly head!
Baby dust to you all ✨️✨️

Im the exact same. Cramping for 2 days and in awful awful form 🙈🙈🙈

@WishUponAStar4Are you going to try testing again? 🤞.

Im 4dpo and in the dreaded tww. Desperate to start testing and just ordered the strips from amazon to satisfy my compulsions even though I know they'll be negative as it's way way too early. I'm going to try to hold out until 10dpo 😩

AF came on Tuesday, 1st after chemical. I was on holidays, which took my mind off it a bit. It was really painful and heavy.

Onward and upwards onto another cycle! I'll track ovulation more seriously this time. Issues is that I'm away for work at the beginning of the window.

See you on the 21st!

WishUponAStar4 · 11/07/2025 20:48

AF came for me today too. Right on que so back on track now after chemical too

@Mouche85 sorry it was so painful. Mine was the exact same after it too. On to the next cycle with us 🥰

Feeling strangely optimistic 🙂

Hi ladies… I posted this on the wrong chat oops..

Hello ladies, hope you’re all doing well! 💕
I’m now back from holiday so thought I’d jump back on to a thousand messages lol. Happy to see a few BFPs & sorry to those that haven’t had any luck yet.

I’m currently waiting for AF to start after finishing provera to delay my period.. I’ve tested just to be sure and it’s BFN. Last year when I delayed AF it started the day after I stopped my last tablet, so a little frustrated!

If it makes you feel any better i got pregnant with my DD the month after delaying my period 🥰

Thanks it was soo lovely to get away! Aww did you, that’s interesting, I wonder if that had something to do with it then. I mean it didn’t work for me last year but I’ll keep a bit of hope 🥰

I’m in two minds whether to stop tracking next cycle just because not doing it whilst away was so nice, but then I was very preoccupied 😂

how are you doing?

Helloooo welcome home

Hope AF arrives soon for you so you can focus on the next cycle. Mine started Wednesday eve and already seems to be over which is a lot shorter then usual but hey ho what will be will be. Could do with this weather being less hot though before ovulation haha 😄

Who knows with these things to be fair but can definitely give a bit of hope

I know i was wondering the same about the not tracking. But I feel like its the only little bit of control we have 🙈.

All good here. Was obviously dissapointed that it didnt work last cycle but I was also quite sick in the fertile window too so on to a new cycle and hopefully a healthy cycle 🥰

Hi @tillybud89, I’m really hoping it starts soon too! I’m having lots of AF type cramps so hopefully today 🤞🏼 just hoping it doesn’t completely mess my cycles up now!

That does seem like a short AF, which is good for you! 😊 are your cycles usually quite regular then?

and yes for cooler days for ovulation! The other month when it was hot was hell I didn’t even want my skin being touched haha

mummm2 · 13/07/2025 06:20

oh that’s shit you weren’t feeling well @WishUponAStar4but into the next one feeling good! Sounds like your cycles have fallen back in line now then?!

yeah I know what you mean about the control of testing. Last cycle I don’t even think I ovulated. I tested PDG it was so low on home tests. I don’t really know enough about this so may need to speak to a Dr about this being an issue / advice!

This is my 2nd AF since my mc in May. Usually mine are 5-7 days long not overly heavy but never just 3 days! And usualy around 25days in between eqch one. Hope it's not going to cause problems with this month's ovulation!
Ah hopefully not long then if cramps have started. I started feeig cramps and backache on the sunday and it still wasn't until Wednesday eve that she came! Yes 100% need cooler weather for dtd haha x

mummm2 · 14/07/2025 16:59

I can imagine it takes a few cycles for your body to recover from MC 😞 are you using just OPKs for tracking ovulation? When does your app predict you?

Im so annoyed how messed up my cycles are now! Still no AF, and it’s now been 6 full days since I last took period delay tablet. Just want it to hurry up now!!

chlxe97 · 14/07/2025 17:03

Hope everyone’s doing okay! 🩷 idk about you guys but the heat is killing me off, makes it worse with TWW emotions

It came back! Haha late Saturday eve. But definitely nearly over. Oooo hopefully not long. When I used to take them for holidays would usually be around a week before I started. App says end of this week into beginning of next for ovulation so will start using my opks then. X

So my app says 12dpo but based on when I had ovulation pain I think I’m more like 9dpo! What about you?

Oh same here hahaha I’m one of those that can’t wait for autumn 😂
