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 🙈

I take hormone balance supplements from myvitamins! They really helped regulate my cycles since taking them and also I get a private prescription of Metformin from UK meds which has really helped with insulin resistance! It’s such a minefield finding things that work for you!

Yes exactly that! I’m weirdly thankful she shown her face rather than leaving me in limbo which often happened as a teenager with no period for months at a time! Onto the next ✨

Oh I'm sorry to hear that AF arrived. Hopefully you will ovulate again this cycle. X

So good to hear you have both found vitamins in that help @chlxe97 & @tillybud89

I have mild endo and I sometimes wonder whether I should have any tests done to see if there is actually anything that I should / shouldn’t be taking.

For now I do have some different vitamins to start taking but STILL waiting on AF to arrive 😒 then il start them after that.

tillybud89 · 18/07/2025 17:30

So I know im coming up to ovulation. Im on my last night shift tonight so was bonus we have the weekend to dtd. However just did an opk ans top one was taking ages with dye so thought it may be dodgy so did yhe 2 underneath. This is the result. Do I still say negative until tomorrow maybe or would you be enticing your other half's just in case. Lol!
Hope your all ok xxx

These are negative but sure the 5 days leading up to ovulation are your most fertile so go ahead and have some fun for the weekend 🥰

I’m so frustrated. I didn’t ovulate this cycle even tho it was the one right after my chemical. Usually I am more fertile in the cycle after that but I just wasn’t. So I got in touch with my fertility doctor and they told me to take the progesterone only pill to induce a bleed. I took it and have been waiting 7 days and still haven’t bled. I’ve got sore boobs and been cramping, spotted for a few days too.. but nothing yet.

once I bleed we can start Letrozole, so of course the wait is just dragging out.

I don’t think I OV the cycle after my chemical either. Have you taken a test by any chance to rule it out? How many day until AF would have arrived without the progesterone?

Yes I remember we both had one early June. And yes I took some tests, even just to start the bleeding. As soon as a pull a stick out the bleeding always begins.. but not this time and it was negative each time. I’ve had cramps daily and sore breasts so I do know I’ll bleed eventually I guess, but I’ve tried every method to make it come sooner.

ive tried specific teas, coconut water, even trampoline jumping (which always started it for me before unexpectedly), exercise, sleeping well, massage, hot water bottle, vitamin C.

I guess it will come when it comes.

without the pills my normal period would have been here like 5 days ago.
have you had another cycle yet?

WishUponAStar4 · 20/07/2025 14:52

That’s good should be any day now for you then!? I’m only CD6 today and 0.38 so a long way to go yet!

I checked PDG today just to get baseline and just to POAS 🤣

We've kind of swapped now 🤣 you used to be a few days ahead of me now its the other was around . I seem to be constantly sick since my little one started in childminders. And always around ovulation 🙈. Currently have a tummy bug. Was a bad cold last month 🙈
