Welcome to the 'Two Week Wait'

[wendyk1]

Hi everyone! Happy weekend!

I am on spring break, and I couldn't be happier.

Unfortunately....AF is here. Oh well. Full out cramps this morning and started light red flow late last night. And a temp drop again. So here we go again! April will mark a year of TTC. Our anniversary is April 5, so we are going to a Bed and Breakfast in Seattle for a few days. Then work on remodeling our house!

So good luck ladies, Ella, I am betting on you!!

I will be stalking the thread

Babydust to everyone and welcome to the new ladies!!!

Oh Wendy, I am sorry wicked came!!! At least in April you have a great plan & something new to look fwd to. Enjoy your anniversary & trip to Seattle & just have some fun

Ella - looking good!

Kelly - be strong, girl you can do it! It might say it can "be as early as" 6 days before AF, but I don't know what the real stats are on those, so waiting until 12DPO would be much better as far as all tests/avg is concerned (but still can be too early - espec if you implant at 12DPO)

Chiqui - so you get beta before +HPT? 4/3 is nothing, honey - that's Tues - you got that!

Thanks lilsluz. I am guessing I am 14dpo but I didn't use an opk so not sure. I appreciate the support from everyone!

So I had a really bad night. Woke up at 2:30 am with extremely bad cramping. The pain was so bad that it physically made me sick. The pain came on really quick and woke me up from a deep sleep, but went away as quick as it came. This happened a few months ago too, but never had anything like this until we started TTC.

Now today haven't had any cramps, but I am spotting like a tanish color. I'm so worried that this is going to be a chemical pregnancy I am still feeling very tired, but my breasts dont feel the way they did before. I feel so bad for my DH b/c he finally let his guard down to be excited about being a daddy and now we are in such limbo right now. Took another FRER test this morning and the line I got this morning was even more faint than the faint like I got on Thursday.

I know there isn't anything I can do at this point. This waiting game is killing me. I don't know what to do. Any of you ever experience this? I know many women spot is the beginning of their pregnancy, but I didn't have any spotting until now. I'm currently 17 DPO and I would think my test would be darker? What do you guys think? Kinda freaking out!

 

[dashka]

Oh Lilly - Fingers crossed that everything works out for you... Yes a lot of people spot like that at the beginning .... don't get too upset until you know... just take it easy and maybe you can get a blood test this week?

I hope it all turns out good for you!!!

 

[dashka]

Wendy - sorry to hear AF arrived.... ARGH!!! happy to hear you're getting away for your anniversary though - enjoy it!!! and good luck on the house renos - how exciting!

Ella - I have all my limbs crossed for you this month!!

Lils - thanks girl - awesome that we may be in the TWW together... Good luck on your test results Monday!

AFM - today is CD14 - not sure if I ovulated yesterday or today.... I had EWCM on Thursday and the OPK strips were almost the same colour (darkness) on Thursday evening and Friday mid-day - so I'm thinking it must have gotten the same darkness between those 2 times... (perhaps early early AM Friday morn??) I hate it when that happens -you can't pinpoint it exactly....Usually I can with the dark lines by testing 2x/day.. Today it was was too light so I know it's passed. Usually I have ov. pains - but nothing this time..... Does that mean I didn't ovulate??? Oh well.... not holding my breath this month.

Good luck to all ladies!!!

So AF showed up full force this morning, so I guess this was a chemical pregnancy Now what??

Oh, I'm so sorry Lily. Just make sure to get a lot of rest, drink lots of water, eat healthy and get some exercise. That's got to be tough but you are strong! We are here for you. There is always next cycle.

 

[dashka]

I'm so sorry Lilly - have you tested anymore? The weird thing is that my mom told me she had full periods with both my sister and I when she was pregnant.... I don't know if she doesn't remember correctly or if this is even possible but I thought it was strange.
Anyway - I don't want to get your hopes up but you could test again in a couple of days.

Big hugs xoxo

 

[dashka]

Just wishing - have you tested yet???? your chart looks good - I can't wait to hear!!!

Lilly. I'm so sorry to hear that AF has come. I've also heard that women have had AF during pregnancy before, but I'm not sure how common it is. Have you tested since she showed up?

But if it is a chemical, I would say, take it easy and relax for a while. Take some time for yourself. Then decide what you and DH want to do, take a cycle off or get right back into TTC. Either way, we're here for you if you want to talk or just want some support.

AFM: Super temp drop in the middle of the day today, after a temp rise last night and this morning. Looks like AF is on her way, ladies. It's too bad, I was feeling so encouraged for a while but then I felt out. DH is being really supportive, which is nice, but I hope TTC doesn't start to wear him down like it is me. My moods are so crazy lately. Oh well, on to the next cycle.

I'm not convinced we'll catch the egg in April or May, since DH is going to be out of town a bunch. I'm starting to get fed up with all his traveling. I've told him as much but he insists that his sperm will live until the egg shows up. So I guess we'll see... Here's hoping that one of these next couple of cycles will be the one.

Lily I'm sorry!!! Dashka it is possible... Right before I got pregnant with my daughter I felt sick so doc told me to test... I did which turned out to be a + but then 4 days later started bleeding. It seemed like AF & lasted about 5 days... The following month I spotted but by my 4th month the bleeding stopped. I have friends that also had there period the whole time they were pregnant so FXED HUN!!

 

[just_wishing]

Hey ladies

DH wanted me to wait until today to test as he said 'the longer we wait the more chance we have of it being positive!'.....
Tested this morning and got BFN!
Can't believe it, as my chart has been looking so good (still is!) and AF is now 4 days late. Surely if I was pregnant it would show up now???!

So so disappointed and confused. Really thought this was it!

 

[just_wishing]

Lillyrose - Hope everything is ok. Don't be discouraged as it might be breakthrough bleeding but definitely go to see your doc!

Lilly take a digital test, Dont panic about the pain and bleeding just yet, how much blood was there? I had stabbing pains that really hurt and blood which looked like the start of my af the day before i got BFP.. but digital is the way to go it will spell it out for you and at least you will know what is going on honey, thinking of you x

 

[vaniilla]

And the TWW starts again wake me up when its testing time please?

 

[dashka]

Oh just wishing... Sorry to hear about BFN... But it's not over til AF arrives ... There are women whose BFP don't show until a week later ... Hang in there!!
