Welcome to the 'Two Week Wait'

[Kelly876]

Hi guys! Hope everything is going well! Im at 5DPO now and it feels like it's been a life time! I'm not noticing much like some of you, just really bloated and gassy (gross I know lol). I've been having weird little cramps here and there but I'm not sure if that's anything.

I had a dream last night that I was holding an ultrasound picture ... Hopefully that's th little baby telling me he/she is here haha wishful thinking.

Anyone else having any symptoms?

Hi everyone! I'm new to this. I'm 20 and ttc #1 my boyfriend and I decided at the beginning of this month we wanted to start trying I am 12dpo and af is due in 3 days. I'm nervous/excited/anxious. I've has soreness in my breasts the past two weeks and I've been a little more tired, not really wanting to get out of bed in the morning but not much other symptoms...trying not to get too excited but it's really hard, we both want this so bad!

20years- Its not over till AF heres and if she shows maybe next month will be your month. Stay positive and done give up. Still live your life just add little extra BDing in on your O days.

Ice- O my I am little underweight too and my cycles are long as well so maybe that's why. But I have 2 DD and been the same size for about 15 years so IT WILL HAPPEN BABE. Are you taking prenatal? My aunt whos a pharmacist highly recommends it when TTC.

Kelly- I am 7dpo and I am feeling no signs I was hoping to feel SOMETHING but no thus far. what date are you testing?? you could test anyday.

KeriAnn- hunny you are so young, enjoy your young life. If this is truly want you want? im a believer of the song "first comes love then comes marriage than comes a baby in a baby carriage"... lol But anyways I don't know your situation. But your symptoms look pretty good, sore breasts and/or nipples is a big one, plus being super fatigue. Godd luck on your BFP. what day are you testing?

 

[Kelly876]

Lovingmygirls- did you have any other signs while you were pregnant with your other 2? I think I'm going to test the 29th. Ill be 9DPO at that point. When are you thinking about testing?!

Kerriann- whoa girl, your only 20!!! You do not want to be pregnant on your 21st birthday! And on a more important note raising a baby takes alot more than love. I think you should really think about what your doing

there is a lot I can say about young parents. I agree there are A LOT of people who shouldn't have babies but that also goes for older people too. I am very mature and responsible for my age. I was a nanny for 2 years to a baby with colic and who was constantly sick I watched him 19 hours a day(father worked out of town and mother was a third shift nurse) so I know mentally how to care for a child and financially my bf has a great job he's been a manager at a storage facility for the past 4 years and they offer him great benefits(including free housing). And I know no matter what happens in the future for him and I that our child will be #1 priority. The biggest reason why we've decided to start so young is because two years ago I was diagnosed with PCOS and we realize the chances of us conceiving could be low and we want to do it naturally so starting younger gives us a little more time to make that happen.

Awwww Sweetheart -

Lesson #1 in life the only one you have to defend yourself too is your BF/Husband. He is the only one in the world who deserves an explanation.

Another thing, I had both my DD by the time I was 18, raised them both as a single parent. I couldn't be prouder of either of them.

Take care honey, and Welcome, to the 2WW

 

[LovingMyGirls]

yes the #1 thing was headaches, I learned what a true migraine was 1st trimester with my first DD. I also remember my nipples being super sensitive, plus I the knot feeling in my stomach, it wasn't cramps but it just felt different. its actually super weird how when you get a BFP your preg symptoms go on overload. I remember feeling like I was an animal because my scent was INTENSE to the point perfume would make me nauseous, but that wasn't till after I got a BFP. btw I Am also testing 9DPO which is the 28th though. FX for us

 

[MummyDonz]

0.9 for progesterone in cd41 (I've had AF arrive on cd48 hence the late progesterone check)

Guess that's no ovulation then! Atleast I know that's why I haven't fallen pregnant in the last 7 months!

 

[LovingMyGirls]

Well that's great you have experience with children and so you know what it in tales. Its the biggest decision you will ever make in your entire life. Its the best thing in the world but if I could go back I would of enjoyed my young years and waited till I was older to have children. I never TTC but I wasn't being responsible with being sexual active. I am still with my DH after almost 11 years. When my friends were going to parties, and to beach and vacations, and bonfires. I was stuck alone at a house alone while my Dh worked out of town. It was very tough but of course I wouldn't trade my babies for the universe. You are right, whats meant to be will be., and its your life to live it the way you want. FX maybe wait a few days and than re-test.

Thank you 20years, we're doing what we feel is right for us and we both believe life will happen one way or another! Everyone I've told so far is super supportive and it gives me hope, def helps the 2ww!

Another thing I'm noticing right now is a tingling/sharp pain on lower left side, would this be normal for 13dpo? probably my mind playing games with me. lol

Ice- O my I am little underweight too and my cycles are long as well so maybe that's why. But I have 2 DD and been the same size for about 15 years so IT WILL HAPPEN BABE. Are you taking prenatal? My aunt whos a pharmacist highly recommends it when TTC.

Oh then there's hope I used to take prenatals for a long time but i stopped and switched it to just folic acid.
I read that women who are underweight have a bigger chance of MC. How were your pregnancies, did you have any problems?

Good luck I just had my transfer yesturday and its my second frozen transfer so I feel the tingling like the last time, but it feels a little different on opposite sides.

Sorry if I offended you in my last post. Heck I was 20 when my husband and I got married and if I wasn't in the middle of my degree I probably would have started trying then too. Hopefully this is out month

I'm not having any changes to my breasts (color or sensitivity). Only thing new I am noticing today is that I am extremely bloated, but that could be a AF sign so who knows!

All I have to say is thank The Lord for this thread or I would be bugging the crap out of DH lol

Ice- I did MC October/2009 and I can tell you that our bodies are more fertile after M/C. Ok so I had sex ONE TIME when still spotting from my Miscarriage( it was our anniversary) in 6 weeks and that's how I got my youngest daughter. It was a complete blessing but I didn't get to grieve my loss. My youngest I had no issues. she was born via c section at 8lb 8oz. I am only 110 lbs so for me it was very big baby. Now with my first daughter she came into this world to early, 5weeks 1 days to early. They told my DH that she wasn't going to make it and for him to remove the baby clothes from recovery room so it wouldn't be as hard for me. I went for normal checkup and BOOM they couldn't find heartbeat, have me quick ultrasound and then aprox 35 mins my DD was brought into the world emergency c section. I didn't get to hold her for 6 hours, they had helicopter waiting and I was in such panic they knocked me out. She weighed 4lb 1oz and dropped to 3lbs 12oz although she was a preemie and so tiny she was 100% healthy besides jaundice. Her lungs were fully developed and even the doctors were shocked she was perfectly healthy. What ended up happening was she was so tangled in the umbilical cord that she was choking herself to death. Her foot was by her chin, so when she moved around it made her breathing difficult. She was a little bruised for few days but she is my miracle and I never felt love till that moment of laying eyes on her. Its the most powerful moment I ever felt till this day. I landed in hospital for dehydration from being so sick all the time and not gaining weight but for the most part I had healthy pregnancies. I am very excited for you to get your BFP so I can follow you on your amazing journey.

 

[LovingMyGirls]

Kelly I agree I would loose my mind as well.. My DH was getting uncomfortable and thinking I only wanted him certain days to BD and I told him TMI and it got to be to much, so vent to us, we are here to listen and give our advice. the support from everyone gets me excited to get on and check in with everyone

 

[MummyDonz]

Maybe the 0.9 progesterone level could be why I've had mid cycle bleeding then. Atleast I'm seeing the specialist in August and then hoping that clomid will do the trick and get me ovulating so I'm in with a chance then of falling pregnant

 

[20yearslater]

AF just got me

I hope everyone else has a better 2WW than I did.

Take care
