Another 2ww thread...

[wfcats]

Hello! I'm 3/4dpo today and already desperate to test...anyone in the same boat?

It looks like the last 2ww thread is coming to an end so I thought I'd start a new one.

This will be my 9th try for a second child and so I have basically gone mad once a month for this whole year...

Hello! I thought I'd join. I believe I'm 8dpo today, and this is cycle 5 of trying for a second child. I'm planning to test with FMU tomorrow morning, even though I know 9dpo is still early, but I just can't wait any longer to start testing!

Hi, can I join? TTC baby no 2 and currently 3dpo, my first cycle after a MC in September.

Won't be testing until next week (with previous pregnancies I got my BFP at 9 and 10dpo) but time is already dragging so much! x

Hey! I just posted my own thread but might as well join here.

We've been TTC #2 for +2,5 years - and this is the first cycle I truely feel like something is different.

I didn't track OV - likely between 7-10dpo. I have had so many unusual symptoms
Most significant ones
-Insomnia for the last 3/4 nights (not something I've ever struggled with)
-Have to go the the bathroom every hour - including twice last night for the last two days (never happens)
-Once off yellow, stringy CM
-Constant back ache since ovulation
-Waves of nausea - dry heaved twice this morning

Other general ones - cramping on and off in abdomen, hip pain, very slight crampy breasts on and off (but this is very slight) . Also had a weird rash on my arms- I have heard of implantation rash? But it's gone now..

The no breast pain and dry CM is currently tripping me up -took a CB Ultra early with SMU this morning and it was negative - but suppose that was to be expected with the frequent bathroom breaks!

Desperately want this to be our month!

I think anything beyond 8dpo is very restrained! Good luck for tomorrow, will keep my fingers crossed for you

So so sorry about your MC.

It really is the longest 2 weeks in the world isn't it, are you planning on testing on Monday?

Wow that is a lot of syptoms! I seem to have a different one every month but never all together like that, so hopefully it's a good sign for you this month! Wishing you luck for your test tomorrow, I do think it's possible for you to feel it a day or two before the tests pick it up

Hiya! Can I join?

TTC #2 for 9 months as well - had a chemical on May and nothing since!

Currently 4dpo and desperately trying to distract myself. We are on holiday next week and thinking it would be the perfect time to find out but doubt it will be our cycle

Welcome @Firsttimerugbymum - I'm also from a country where Rugby is massive!
So sorry about your loss in May, all the best for this round - and you're right that would be a cherry on top of a holiday.

@wfcats - I'm teh same, this is the first month with 'real' symptoms that I know I can't 'make up' in my head - if that makes sense?

Took another CB Early late yesterday afternoon after a 3hr hold and I think there was a barely there line - it has dried somewhat darker but still extremely faint - and I know CB and their ugly evaps - happened to me many a times! Will likely test again later.

Still on/off slight cramps in boobs - but definitely noticable. Had another restless night - been awake since around 3ish. Had that slight rash on my arms again for a while last night, still running to the bathroom regularly as well. I have no bloating though, which is strange....so I don't know. I'm around 10dpo - and the prayers continue!

Just an update - got a BFN this morning. Pretty sure I'm just experiencing a cycle with unusually high levels of progesterone.
Will update if the situation changes.

Good luck everyone, may you all be blessed with your bfps <3

I thought I’d join in here too!
I’m 7-9DPO (I think) and am feeling super tired and a little nauseous but that’s about it symptom spotting is torture isn’t it?!

I did a standard test yesterday which was a very quick negative so I’m trying to convince myself I ovulated later and it was just too early but realistically I don’t think it’ll be my month!

How is everyone doing today?

@SecondTimeEndurersorry about your bfn, if it was only 10dpo could still go either way.

Welcome @Bee1725- you're so right, having pms and early pregnancy symptoms be completely identical is a cruel trick. Are you planning on testing again?

I tested this morning at 7dpo and obviously it was negative but I've now convinced myself I'm out for the cycle 🤡 I'm always so hopeful for the first half of the tww and then despair kicks in about now. I get horrible pms mood swings anyway so it really compounds the general ttc sadness.

Oh 7DPO is too early it’s so easy to feel disappointed though isn’t it?!
I’ve just done a test 9dpo ish and there is a squinty line but I think it’s indent as it doesn’t seem to have colour

Haha yes absolutely too early, I'm just insane!

Did it come up straight away? I know this is such an annoying response but I think you'll just have to wait and test again tomorrow. Have you been trying for long?

I also did one at 7DPO haha
5/6 months now so not long really every month I’ll tell myself I’m not buying tests and I’m just chilling…
yes it came up within the time I think I’m clutching at straws I’ll probably wait until Sunday now

5dpo now and feeling so despondent, like there’s no chance I’ll get pregnant so soon after my MC. Had vivid dreams of getting a positive pregnancy test last night too (damn hormones!) so that made me sad this morning x

About 6dpo and this is our 6th month trying for our first baby 🥲 feel like it’s never going to happen x

Hello! Can I join?!

Currently TTC number 2, I think we're on about cycle 4 or 5 now. I'm 9/10DPO and today have had really mild cramps. Also had terrible mood the last couple of days, been feeling irritable and then today my mood has crashed and I've just cried at an intagram advert!

I don't keep any pregnancy tests in the house to avoid temptation but I've just ordered some from Amazon! Trying to not get my hopes up.

100% bfn today 🙄 at 10dpo on a sensitive test I know I can count myself out now! Hope everyone else is doing ok?

@Janey3090that soudns rubbish, I'm so sorry - how are you feeling today?

@ThatFluentRubyWaspI also find myself feeling like it's never going to happen, its horrible isn't it? A positive feels like a lottery win at this point.

@WodgerWabbitwelcome! Very impressed with your restraint to have no tests in the house.

@Bee1725I dont think that's true, when is your period due? I'm exactly the same the moment I see a blank test but realistically you could still even be yet to implant

8dpo today and a bfn, which is expected but still feels like a gut punch. Should not have tested but oh well

I caved and took a test today (11/12DPO) and BFN. Gutted as I’ve had the most severe PMS symptoms I’ve had in a very long time this week, plus cramping all day on Friday and I never cramp pre-period.

Just waiting for AF to arrive on Wednesday/Thursday now, only blessing is hopefully my hormones will settle down and il feel better next week!

Did another test this afternoon and a line appeared, but only after a good time when id taken a nap.

Only 8dpo and started spotting - not sure what to think. Probably an evap

Please can I join? 6DPO been trying since April for our 2nd child

@WodgerWabbit sorry 😞 this may not be for you but I've been not drinking for 3 weeks out of the month and then having a really nice glass of wine when my period shows up, I think if you can plan a little treat of some description it does help a bit.

@Firsttimerugbymum that's amazing news! The spotting is probably implantation bleeding

@HappyBlueDonkeywelcome! Hope the 2ww is going fast for you

This is the hope, but had the same in May and turned into a chemical. Let's see
