Anyone just started their dreaded 2WW ? 👀👋🏼

[WF1990]

Morning girls, that’s it really, looking for 2WW buddies to get through the longest part of the ttc cycles !
I’m 1DPO, cycle 8 for a first baby 🤞🏼

That sounds promising @GiraffesAtThePark!

@WF1990 🤣🤣 are you planning on testing again tomorrow morning? I’m so invested!

@EllieWales gosh I want to say no but I feel like ill be too tempted so i will 😂

Hey girls, progesterone confirmed ovulation so I guess at least I’m not being too delusional 🤣 now is a waiting game, I really don’t think the test earlier was accurate so I will test in a couple of days !

@WF1990I can see a line, is your Luteal phase 11 days ? you will have ultimate strength if you wait till Friday but my toes and fingers are crossed for you.

@lalalalalala2024i feel like it was way to early to get a positive even a faint line a 7dpo ! My Lp is 10/11 days , my trick is to wee tomorrow morning before I can even take any test and then go to work 😂 then I just have Thursday to go through while working from home, wish me luck 🤣

I’m also super invested to see what happens! @WF1990 that looks clearer than my indent for sure. @lalalalalala2024 hoping it sticks for you! Sounding positive!

thanks guys! These are more pics of the same test and I think it is an indent more than a line ! But I guess you’ll be the first to know when I re test 😅

Morning girls how are we all ?
I don’t know how I had the mental strength to ignore the tests this morning but I did ! Went straight for a wee and then got ready !
how is everybody feeling?
very sore boobs on and off for me, almost like tingly, I can’t remember if I get it that intense usually so I won’t read into it.

Morning ladies, can I join too? I’m 9dpo today and driving myself insane. Had a miscarriage in May and this is our first month trying since. Tested this morning and currently BFN, so either my body is playing tricks on me or it’s too early. I’ve been feeling nauseous for a few days, sore boobs on and off. I had this before my missed period last time I was pregnant, but I’m also symptom spotting like crazy so not sure if it’s in my head! Hope everyone gets their BFP soon!

Welcome @GrapefruitZest!
9dpo is still early though !
i’m 8dpo today, had progesterone test yesterday at 5.6 ng/mg which is apparently just on the minimum required for sustaining a pregnancy very early stage so I shall see if I end up having a bfp !
I totally get you with the symptoms …! My boobs have been so painful but I usually get painful boobs anyways with the rise of progesterone so I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️ only time will tell !
how long is your luteal phase ? X

I know, I’m questioning if I always feel like this right before my period or if it’s different this time! I’m really not too sure about my LP, I had a coil removed earlier this year, either one or two periods after that I got pregnant - I think it was 12 days luteal phase then, and after my MC I think it was 14 days.
That’s good news about your progesterone test!

@GrapefruitZestim so sorry about your MC 🫶🏽
i think early pregnancy symptoms are very similar to pms because of the rise of progesterone anyways ! I am having the WORST hot flushes I had to set my air con on 19 in the office and I’m sweating 😂 could be pregnant / could be overweight 🤣

Morning, hi @GrapefruitZest welcome and sorry about your MC hoping this month is the one for you. I’m 7 dpo and spotting every symptom under the sun 🤣 boobs are sore which is unusual for me at this stage, I’m really tired but that’s not unusual for me 😅 I’ve also been having some cramping but I don’t know if that’s abnormal or if I’m just noticing more. I’ve been (incorrectly) absolutely convinced in the past so I’m trying not to read into anything but it’s so hard not to! I’m planning on doing an early response tomorrow morning at 8dpo which I know is nuts but I can’t resist 😂 I’m so impatient!

@WF1990 well done for resisting this morning!! @lalalalalala2024 have you tested again this morning?

Really hoping some of us get our BFPs by the end of the week 🤞

So im an emotional wreck in my first 2 week wait. Apologies for TMI below. I have been tracking everything. I was feeling optimistic, but not sure now. Looking for some re assurance more than anything.
First cycle after stopping pill | Trying to conceive baby #1
🗓️ Tuesday 8th July Day one of the wait. Did the deed so now the waiting game begins for us...Mood: 😐 Calm-ish, hopeful
🗓️ Thursday 10th July Did the deed I'm having some lower cramps, and I think I saw some brown discharge starting. Mood: 🤔 Curious. A bit hopeful.
🗓️ Friday 11th July Brown/pink spotting when I wiped today. It's very light, not like a period at all. Mood: 👀 Watching closely
🗓️ Saturday 12th July I stained my knickers with more brown discharge. It's still going. Mood: 🧩 Clues adding up...
🗓️ Sunday 13th July We Did the deed. Still spotting later, but it's light. Mood: ⏳ Tense. Wanting confirmation.
🗓️ Monday 14th July The discharge seems to have stopped. I'm really tired, and my boobs are starting to hurt. Mood:⚖️ Balanced hope. Watching everything.
🗓️ Tuesday 15th July My boobs feel full at the top. I'm waking a lot in the night, which isn't usual for me. Mood: 😳 Getting hopeful.
🗓️ Wednesday 16th July My boobs are now very sore. I even complained cuddling in bed. My areolas look lighter, and I've noticed little bumps around my nipples. Mood: 🚀 Hope rising fast.
🗓️ Thursday 17th July Still sore boobs, but I'm sleeping better. My mood's been up and down. Tired again today.Mood: 🕵️ Quietly optimistic.
🗓️ Friday 18th July My nipples were really sore today. Also, I've had a weird tummy feeling near my belly button. No discharge in my underwear. Mood: 📈 This could be it.
🗓️ Saturday 19th July No real changes today. I had vivid dreams and a restless night. Still no bleeding. Mood: 😬 Nervous patience.
🗓️ Sunday 20th July I've got a scratchy throat and woke up sweaty in the night. Still no bleeding. Is this a symptom shift? Mood: 🤔 Confused, but curious.
🗓️ Monday 21st July We had pub lunch, and I crashed asleep in the afternoon. I blamed the sun, but something felt... hormonal. Mood: 😐 Uncertain, waiting.
🗓️ Tuesday 22nd July I'm grumpy today. Full boobs again. Then I found brown discharge in my underwear. My mood crashed. Mood: 😓 Emotional wreck.
🗓️ Wednesday 23rd July (today) I woke up scared of staining the bed. I used a tampon, and it came out very dark brown. Then I wiped and saw fresh red — only a tiny bit. I asked to test — we did, but the test was a dye flood mess. My mood is all over the place. Mood: 🎢 Absolute emotional rollercoaster.

@EllieWalessame here ! I convinced myself in the past when I wasn’t pregnant so I think this is why I’m trying to let go of anything I am experiencing and I just pretend it doesn’t exist 😂 gosh I am so impatient too, ill be 9dpo tomorrow … I don’t know if I want to test yet ! But it’s my husbands bday on Friday I’d love to tell him I’m pregnant 🥹🤞🏼

@WF1990really hoping for a birthday surprise for you!!

Hi @Seasaltandgrassdo you know when you ovulated and if so how many days past ovulation you are? Some of the symptoms you’ve recorded might be significant if they align with implantation dates. Fingers crossed for you ☺️

Hi @Seasaltandgrass, if day 1 was one day post ovulation then today brings you to 15 days meaning that the bleeding is likely to be your period I’m sorry … although it is very hard to stay calm and collected during the two week wait, maybe try and take a step back and don’t forget to enjoy the journey and trust the process a bit as on average it takes 12 months to conceive so it’s totally ok and super common if it doesn’t work 1st time 🫶🏽

@Seasaltandgrassand the brown discharge you had would have been at 3 and 4 dpo which couldn’t be implantation as it’s too early for this .. implantation occurs between 6-12 dpo but it’s most common on days 8-10. I hope this helps xxx

Haha yes, the mind games are real! I keep going between “this must mean something” and “I’m making it all up” every few hours. I get why you're trying to ignore symptoms — it's almost easier than riding the highs and lows. 9 DPO is a tricky place to be. I'm currently around 10 DPO and really wanted to wait, but I ended up testing this morning and it was a dye-smeared mess 😩 (so frustrating). I totally understand wanting to tell your husband on his birthday — that would be such a special moment! Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼 let me know how it goes!

Thank you — and you're right, it's so hard to stay grounded in the first month. Just to clarify, though, I think I'm only about 10 DPO today, not 15. I had a possible ovulation around the 12th or 13th July based on symptoms and tracking, so I’m still within the early testing window. The brown discharge started around 9 DPO, which seems early for a period for me (I’ve not had proper cycles for years due to being on the pill). I had a tiny bit of red this morning, but nothing since. So I guess it’s a waiting game… but you're so right — I need to let go a little and trust that it may take time. Thank you again for the kindness 🫶

Oh right ! I got confused as you said day one of the wait !
then it could tally with implantation !! Test again in the next few days let us know !!

@SeasaltandgrassThat makes sense and you're still in this month! When are you planning testing again?

I’m tried to downplay it but I’m definitely cramping today at 7dpo, I feel like it’s early for implantation but who knows. Cramping at this stage of my cycle is very unusual for me especially cramping that persists through the day

Sounds promising @EllieWales!!! 🤞🏼 could totally be the beginning of implantation.

ive had this pulling cramping sensation on the right for days but i cant see whether it happened to me in previous cycles. But my boobs … my god. Painful and burning ? I’m pretty sure my boobs are never that sore.
arggg so long to wait … my period is due on Saturday so I’m now thinking of maybe just waiting until it arrives and if not test on Sunday …!

Hi everyone, I went to the office today so I was unable to test this morning but I have just got back and tested, line is getting abit stronger I think. Currently 10dpo today.
