Another 2 week wait, who wants to join?

[Samthenanny]

4dpo here and can’t stop symptom spotting 🤦🏻‍♀️
sore boobs, feeling nauseous, tired, sharp pains near belly button which i had early days with my little boy and in December which ended in miscarriage.
don’t want to get my hopes up but here I am 🤣
anyone else, counting down the days to test?

Hey 👋🏻 I’m 7dpo and consumed with the wait. I have 2 children already, 10 and 7 and I’m 33. I feel tired today, had really strange twinges in my lower abdomen yesterday - muscle spasms I think? And today I have sort of period incoming cramps. Nothing major. I’m due AF in a week so a bit early for me to feel AF cramps. How are you today?

Hi @Brushbun how long you been trying for no3?
with my little boy we got pregnant first month this time around it’s now a year with a chemical and a miscarriage, I’m 38 so feel times ticking by very quickly now.
both times I’ve been pregnant I’ve had af cramps a week before so it could be a positive for you.
I’ve been so tired in bed the last 3 eves at 9pm and today I can’t stop yawning, have a awful headache and weird boob pains but I’ve had all these before and bfn so only time will tell.
when are you going to test?

@Samthenanny Hey! We were trying for almost a year a couple years back. Then paused, we had lots coming up and thought perhaps we weren’t destined for a third. But then we don’t feel done at all, so started up this year - this is our first cycle this time around. How about you? So sorry to hear of your past pregnancies 😪 how old is your little boy? I tested today and I’m sure I saw a line again, more obvious than yesterday but still squinter. Hoping tomorrow a frer might pick up something as that’s 6 days before my period. How about you? X

@Brushbun This is month 12 for us, we have had a couple of months off though really.
my little one is 2 and a half nearly.
ooh did you that’s exciting, what symptoms if any have you had?
im 6dpo today so will possibly test sat or sun as ill be 9/10dpo and it’ll be 4 days before af.
i needed to nap yesterday which never happens, boobs tingly today, popping sensations and a werid heavy pain down my right arm 🤷🏻‍♀️ also felt nauseous all day

8/9dpo - this mornings test… who was I kidding saying I’ll wait for the weekend to test?! 😂 Waiting for the weekend is no fun when a drawer of tests is so tempting. I feel like I see it and wayyy more clearly than what I thought I saw yesterday… thoughts? Happy to be told I’m delulu if you don’t see it 🙃 feeling so tired and a little crampy/achy at times but other than that that’s my only “signs”.

@Brushbun how you feeling? You taken anymore tests?
I see a faint line, congratulations

im 9dpo today and took a test yesterday and today both BFN so might wait till Wednesday now as that’s when I’m due af.
keep getting shooting pains and burning sensations in my boobs, still really tired, napped yesterday, pretty emotional and keep getting random sharp cramps

@Samthenanny similar symptoms here too. Tested this morning with a new batch of easy @ home and a frer and both BFN. Really think either bad batch of tests with those lines (seen comments all over the internet about easy @ home lately and their 1* Amazon reviews echo my tests) or a chemical.

My period is due Thursday. I’ll test in the mornings with the new easy @ home tests and only use a frer if I’m late I think. Xx

@Brushbun ah sorry to hear that.
I got a very faint line last month on a easy@home and got my hopes up.
I tested with a frer this morning hoping to see a very faint line because of how crap I’ve been feeling and was disappointed but I’ve told myself it’s too early.
fingers crossed for both of us, let me know how you get on x

@Samthenanny Yes I think usually I wouldn’t bother having hopes up but I’ve felt so nauseous with sore boobs and been so tired I’ve had to nap in the day yesterday and day before, despite being in bed early. Exact symptoms I had with the 2 girls. So frustrating but equally excited for another round coming up. Will keep you posted, likewise keep me posted x

@Brushbun how you getting on?
im 11DPO today, took another test this morning and its negative so think im out. Af is due tomorrow, still have all the symptoms though annoyingly, also a heavy feeling low down which I remember having with my little boy, I’m sat here writing this and my boobs are throbbing 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Samthenanny they say you’re not out until AF arrives so I’ll keep everything crossed for you. BFN for me - really think something would have appeared by now if I were pregnant so ruling out this month mentally and getting ready for this next cycle. I’ve bought a thermometer too so going to temp this month x

@Brushbun How many days were you yesterday? as you say your not out till af shows up.
No sign of af and I feel pregnant, took a first response this morning and there’s a vvvvv faint line, think I implanted yesterday also so will test tomorrow to see if my line gets stronger.

@Samthenanny this sounds so exciting! Do you have a photo of your faint line? I squinted and squinted and used my phone torch but there’s nothing. I’m really not sure of my exact DPO but I peaked 26/01 so that could put me 11/12 dpo at best or 14 dpo. I know it’s between 12-72 hours from peak. In a way I just want my period to come now because I’m so sure I’m out. I felt really sick on Monday, had some cramps and ended up napping too. But other than that my symptoms have disappeared x

I peaked the day after you so we’re pretty similar in our cycle.
yeah I do, I posted it as I convinced myself i was making it up but it came up within the timeframe so let’s see.
oh I no, the 2WW is the longest wait I wish our bodies didn’t have the same symptoms for pms and pg

@Brushbun see it’s really faint. With my little boy 10dpo my line was clear and way more pink

@Samthenanny See with my second daughter my line was faint even one day after my missed period. But with my firstborn it was pretty dark. Odd isn’t it! Keeping everything crossed for you. My Frers I’ve already used but both were stark white - no hints at all x

@Brushbun yeah it’s very bizarre, I think in Nov I was about 11DPO also and had a much stronger line 🤷🏻‍♀️
well I shall be peeing on a stick tomorrow morning and see what that shows up, can’t even tell you how much googling I’ve been doing about indents on freres, I’ve had a headache all day which maybe from all the searching

Hi both!! I am 0 DPO (that's today!) but just wanted to be able to talk to people about hoping to get pregnant! I'm 35 and we've decided we would like another (have one little boy currently) after a few tricky years!

Struggling with some of your abbreviations.. took me ages to work out AF was Aunt Flow 🤣

Hi @Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate
have fun trying for baby no2 😊
baby no2 for me is taking a lot longer than I thought it would. My little boy was the first month of trying and I’m currently on month 12 of trying with 1 chemical and an early loss but I’m 38.
haha about the abbreviations, frer means a first response pregnancy test

@Samthenanny I did think first response! What's the best pregnancy test to use early?

We were the same with our first, it happened first month! This is now our first month retrying and I don't want to get my hopes up too much as obviously we are both older now! The thought of having to wait 2 weeks pains me!!

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate first response seem to be the best especially picking a positive up early and not giving indents.
yeah the 2 weeks seem to take forever and my body has given me loads of positive symptoms to end up with a bfn

Good morning! Are you testing again today @Samthenanny ? Like you and @Brushbun said, you aren't out until AF arrives...

Brushbun mentioned a thermometer... how can you use this to tell?!

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate temping is to check ovulation. Or try and pin point your day of ovulation more accurately. Tested this morning BFN, period due today - no sign. Did have weird cramping again last night.

@Samthenanny how you doing? I had cramping last night and such restless legs. I went for a wee just now though and sort of pinkish discharge, no how my periods usually start. Comes full on and heavy, but I’m taking this as I’m out! On to the next month x

@Brushbun I took another test today and the line seems even fainter than yesterdays, so I’m either not or it’s another chemical.
think I’ll wait till the weekend and see if af turns up
