Welcome to the 'Two Week Wait'

[LovingMyGirls]

Does that mean I need to BD today?? I hope I didn't miss it. I was really hoping to be in wait rather then this uncertainty.

Nope I think your good, YAYAYAYAY!!!!! for Crosshairs !!!!! That means you ovulated 3 days go, so now you just get to wait. THE FUN THE JOY !!!!

sorry going a bit crazy myself, I just might have to test tomorrow.

I'm going crazy right now!! Only 4dpo and counting the days until I can test!! Fingers crossed for this cycle.

Sending to you all!!

Hi my name is Talia. This is our second month trying and our first month really tracking using opks. We have hit 4dpo and I am not being very patient. How soon do symptoms show or when is a good time to start expecting to tell? I have been researching all that I can but didn't know if anyone else would have extra stuff to share

Hi Talia, welcome to the 2WW

I guess we all know our bodies best, however our minds can also play tricks on us too. I started to think or notice things more.... Well I am on FF and I started to see a lot of coloured boxes LOL. but here you go here are my symptoms. hope this helps...

1 DPO - having to pee a lot felt a little ill (normal for me though right after Oing)

2 DPO - Bloated --- hungry --- still having to pee -- and a little dizzy

3 DPO - bbs sore & full --- heart palpitations ---- pinching on left side - dull cramps

4 DPO -Still hungry --Irritable and will bite(LOL)--- still pinching - still dull cramps

5DPO - back hurts - dull headache - bloated I could float - crazy irritable - starving - BBs are tender & full --still getting pinching --Emotional

6 DPO - still getting the pinches, kind of mild cramp, tired, headache.

7DPO - pinching on the left side still, cramping, tired, headache, last night I thought someone was sitting on my chest with the my heart & anxiety and dam it I cant get this awful taste out of my mouth, BBs still sore..... cant focus..

Today is 8DPO and I am getting pinching on my right side how, and some stretching feelings too. Plus dizzy and gas lolololol!!!

sigh - most of these are Af symptoms though for a lot of people. its the pinching that's getting me!!!

Um...think I'm in the 2ww now but not really sure. I temped first thing and it was 97.18 and that was too low for my CH's so I did it 3 more times, all the same. Then i tried it once more and it said 97.33, still no CH's. i was completely confused so thought I'd try my other thermometer right after without doing anything different and it said 97.89 which then gave me my CH's which is exactly what I thought should have happened today. But now i'm not sure I'm right so don't want to throw in the towel just yet in case so DH and i are DTD right after work. I have had negative OPK's last two days and cm has changed to creamy and my O pains definitely happened this weekend. Were those first few temps a fluke or did i maybe not truly O yet??? Maybe my body geared up but then didn't??? ugh! This is why i want to go to the specialist because they would have me come in to confirm i did O even though usually my chart is spot on. I hate this. I'm ready for a sex break but can't stop until i know for sure and i don't want the entire month to have been for nothing! Ugh!!!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Thanks, we appreciate it very much. I'm just trying to keep my excitement down a little. DH isn't as comfortable with putting a title on what we are up to. He would rather play it by ear so it doesn't get boring.

Sigh...so this is the beginning of our tww. We are so anxious for a BFP. The last BFP we had was both exciting and short lived. I made it to 7 weeks and had a miscarriage. Keeping our fingers crossed.

I'm praying for you all this cycle!!!

Yeah, I hear ya. Good rule of thumb.

Hi everyone... hope you girls don't mind me jumping in... I'm angela
I've been reading the posts from Page 1 since my 4dpo (today's my 9dpo) and now am on Page 471 lol... it has helped a lot in keeping me sane during this torturous TWW...
I'm definitely a POAS addict and this time round I started testing on 4dpo of course BFN what did I expect really...
Trying very hard to be patient but it's not easy...
Love all your posts and they sure help make time pass a little quicker

to everyone!

Welcome Angela08 and best of luck to you!!! You're 9dpo so hopefully you'll be testing soon. How long are your cycles normally? Do you know what your luteal phase usually is? and

Hi ttcbabyisom!
I have been testing since 4dpo sad i know...
4dpo - BFN (FMU)
7dpo - BFN (evening)
9dpo - BFN (evening)
10dpo (this morning) - BFN (FMU)

I went a little overboard yesterday at the drug store, bought i-forgot-how-many HPTs different brands... There was a moment of insanity where I just kept loading my basket with the HPTs... as if buying more would increase my chances (Sorry for the rant...)
So last night used 3 diff ones and still got BFN... 2 of those were 12.5 mIU/ml and 15 mIU/ml.
I was expecting the BFN but still disappointed nonetheless... Got up this morning and thought hey its 10dpo yay let's try another test... and yeah disappointment again.
Think I'm gonna keep testing everyday till BFP or AF .

Actually my cycles are pretty irregular ranges from 21 - 30 days!
But my LP is pretty consistent at 12-14 days. So I'm guessing the witch will probably get me this Sunday...

Oh girl, it's ok. I completely get where you're coming from! I've had cycles like that where I started testing way too early and once you start, you can't stop! Well i send you all the baby dust in the world for a BFP on Sunday and I hope to O on or before Sunday! He, he...good luck to both of us!!!

Just dropped in for quick update...
14 dpo (yesterday) : Got BFP! (On 4 difference tests including the CB digital which puts me at 1-2 weeks)

GL to everyone here! And to all!!!

Woohoo!!! CONGRATS!!!

You did get a great rise today which means yesterday could have been implantation but try to resist testing yet. It's still too early!!!

Oh my hun, I have no idea I would say stay with the cross hairs for now and see what your temp is like tomorrow.

Im rooting for you at your doctors appointment!!! Im sure he will be able to give you some answers

I don't think I can I just had a small hand full of dried fruit and I thought for sure I was going to run to the bathroom. oh my!!! plus I was doing dishes right before that and it hurt to put my belly against the sink, like a stabbing pain, and my flippen back holy crap-forgot about that one.

Ya I think im going to test tomorrow will be 9DPO, if its neg of course im going to be upset, but I know I will just test again closer to date. Shit FF wants me to wait till aug 2nd LMAO

I am 8 days today. buy my cycle is short 25-26 so I figured that 9 DPO is like most peoples 10 - LOL

 

[LovingMyGirls]

Sorry 20years I should of read all the posts before I asked questions. I got ahead of myself. Look at it this way within ONE WEEK you will know for sure if you get your BFP. I sure hope you do!!!

 

[LovingMyGirls]

I put a countdown on my calendar on my fridge. I think I will try 9DPO so that means I will test on sunday. better STAY AWAY. I am SO RELIEVED to finally know I O'd. I have zero symptoms for AF or Preg Symptoms. If It was implantation, would I have any signs that I should be noticing?

 

[Kelly876]

So I don't track when I'm ovulating by temp. I've been keeping close track to my periods and I have an app on my phone that tells mme the exact day that I'm supposed to ovulate (I know weird but it seems to be the right time). Anyways we could only BD twice 4 days before I was supposed to ovulate. All of you guys talking about temperature is making me nervous that I screwed myself up this month.

Oh well guess we will see!

Does anyone know if you can get pregnancy signs in the TWW that differ from that of getting your period??

Thanks guys!!

I think you can, 1 of the first things I noticed are pinching/pulling inside its a weird feeling.
There may be metal taste in your mouth
Your hair line from pubic bone to belly button or higher will become darker
Your Areola will become darker
Your clitoris will become darker(from there being more blood flow)
Your breast & chest may have veins way more noticeable then prior.
Your food does not taste right or smell right
You may feel as if you have carpal tunnel(pins and needles in your hands
cravings
of course there are the other normal signs
Nausea
Heartburn
Gassy (either end)
Headaches
Heart Palpitations
Excess Saliva

and these are just to name a few. BUT Just because you don't have any of these
does not mean you are not pregnant,
and like in my cause you could have dam near all of these and still get a BFN
Really hope this helps.
