Welcome to the 'Two Week Wait'

[Joanne1311]

My af is due tomorrow !! I'm to scared to test sick of those

Promising symptoms so far but my bbs are hurting less hoping you get your

I'm not charting at the moment are you ? Do you have any other symptoms ?

My af is due tomorrow !! I'm to scared to test sick of those

I know what you mean! I decided im not buying any until the dat i intend to test (if doesn't come first)- that way i wont be constantly telling myself not to go and POAS.....

As i shared on another thread, i feel like AF is just about here, im terribly moody, and been eating carbs like there is not tomorrow (or no gym tomorrow!) I also have some mild tenderness and cramping that i get pre-AF. The only AF symptom i am missing that i should be getting now is a break out- but maybe the clomid has changed me somehow, my skin is very dry usually oily at this time of the month.

maybe or maybe it's a good sign
Don't think I'll be buying any tests this time, feel very cramped this morning
But suppose we can't rule anything out until she is here.

Well it's 10 dpo for me. Didn't have anymore spotting...just that once at 8 dpo. Really hoping it was implantation!!

Not getting so much cramps now, just strange sensations in lower abdomen. The weirdest thing is probably the feeling in my bbs. Not sore, as such, just have a feeling in them like they are heavy and filled with a fizzy drink!! LOL I know that sounds so so strange but it's the best description!
There is no way I'm going to test until 2nd April. Was really tempted to buy hpt today while out shopping with dh but i fought back the urge

How is everyone else feeling today?? Hope this thread is filled with BFPs really soon

to all!!!!

Do you have spotting often? The only time I EVER had spotting was when I got my first BFP. I've also heard that a heavy feeling in your breasts is a good sign too! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!! Why are you waiting so long to test though? How long is your lp typically?

I had implantation bleeding at 9dpo in my first pregnancy (which ended in m/c). But other than that I never have spotting before af. So hopefully this is it.
My lp is usually around 14-16 days but the reason i'm waiting until the 2nd is because if I get a bfn then I can't say to myself 'it's too early to test so wait a few days and do another test!' One bfn is enough to get me down without waiting around for another lol. So waiting that little bit extra means I will know for sure at that time without any doubt on waiting and buying more to get another heartache
Thanks Sarah_anne and congratulations on your bump!

And of course.... to everyone!

I have had a few cycles where i had what i thought (hoped) was implantation bleeding- and then AF was late, but POAS said BFN- this has happened to me three times where i skipped a whole period- and upon bloods the Dr told me i wasnt ovulating, and the lack of ovulation therefore somehow causes progesterone to drop- and that causes spotting.

Im not saying thats happening to you guys, but i was so dissappointed cos i was so sure it was implantation bleeding! So just be aware that there could be other explanations, just to protect your hopes!!

 

[dashka]

Hi ladies - just wanted to say good morning and hope all the ladies who are testing soon get some BFP's!!! FX for you! If not - you have another chance at making your bodies even better for the lucky month....

Baby dust to all!!

AFM - Today is CD 8 - waiting to ovulate in probably 4 days or so... (usually do on day 12) not sure what will happen this month.... maybe my cycle will get screwed up because of the meds I've been on... we'll see!

Just-wishing - It sounds pretty promising! Good luck and I have this is it for you! Wow you have a long luteal phase.... that is a good thing. Mine is usually only 12 days. Wow you have willpower to wait until April 2nd! Good luck!!!

sorry typ-o - I meant "I hope this is it for you"....

 

[just_wishing]

sorry typ-o - I meant "I hope this is it for you"....

Thanks Maria

Really hope this is it too. We waited 2 years for our first pregnancy and lost it and now a year has passed since the m/c and nothing seems to be happening
My only glimmer of hope this month is that I had that pink spotting at 8 dpo. As I said it's only ever happened to me once before when i was pregnant so fx it's implantation!
Feeling very emotional today, even dh said i'm not my usual self and get weepy over the slightest thing.

So it's almost o time for u! Plenty of BD and hopefully we will all be getting BFPs!!

I'm telling myself that af is coming but deep down I can't help being optimistic! As I said, I've never had spotting before, only when I was pregnant so really hoping it's implantation.
Hope your ovulation is on track now. I know it's frustrating enough ttc without having the extra worry of even ovulating in the first place!
I'm sure all this stress and emotion will be well worth it when we all hold our little bundles of joy in our arms

Thanks! If your luteal phase is usually 14-16 days then you have a really good chance that that was implantation bleeding!! especially if that is the only time you had that happen! Have all limbs crossed for you.... Sounds like you have been through a lot and you deserve this! We have been trying for 10 years (on and off) if you can believe it and we have one adopted daughter....I'm turning 40 in May so really hope I get a BFP this year...

I can't wait to hear when you test!!!!

 

[sarah_anne]

Ok Gals, today im cd28- and i jumped up and did a FMU and got a (drum roll....) So im a bit down- however the only saving grace is that even though im cd28, im not 14dpo, im prob about 12 dpo.

SO, more waiting... its amazing how long 14 days can be.....

At the moment i want the mostly so that i dont have to go through the TWW again next month! THis has been my worst one yet!

Good luck gals, anyone else getting near the end of the TWW???

We all know what that's like Curleymama! I hated the TWW and then just waiting for AF was pure torture some months. I hope this is it for you!

The only time I EVER had spotting was with my first pregnancy, so it may just have been implantation bleeding that you had! Fingers crossed for you!! I couldn't stand to look at BFNs either, so I only ever tested once AF was late.

Thanks for the congrats and I hope you join me soon!

Hello Everyone and welcome to all the new ladies - lovely to have you here!!

Sorry I have not been around for a while but I have read all the posts to catch up.

Sorry to read about the ladies not feeling very well this past week!

This has been a crazy week, I went out 3 nights in a row! (party animal!) And yesterday was by birthday and now I have just entered my fertile time and should OV in the next week or so. Being busy was good as it made the time go quicker. Now I feel all positive and optimistic to now be in the fertile window!

I am temping every day and now doing OPKs 1 or 2 times a day. I am so on this!! I really want to have a BFP this cycle. 10th April would have been my due date so having a BFP is going top make that date easier to deal with.

Fingers crossed for everyone and enjoy all the BDing!!

 

[gemmy]

good luck everyone close to testing! hang in there, hope to see your bfp in the next few days..

hey ttbc i'm with you again this month - just entering fertile period cd12! started opk today and having lots of ewcm. negative opk which i was glad of as we had not dtd since last ovulation!!! so we dtd today which has made me feel in the game but not soooo hopeful this month coz of the stress moving. well we should move this week i hope. anyways glad your time has gone quick with the partys - lucky thing and happy birthday for yesterday! gl this month

hope all our ladies are having a lovely weekend, it has been beautiful where i am

GL Emmy!!!

 

[gemmy]

Hello! Well I have an update finally so I am writing this in my journal and on my regular threads so sorry if you are seeing double or triple

Hope all you girlies are doing well

I got my smiley today cd13 so looks like O isn't delayed this month. I love updating my ff with a temp, a postitive opk and a BD

We dtd yesterday so I feel like we are in! However we hadn't all month so we hadn't done our usual "freshen up the sperm" session. However I had a hunch. Yesterday I had to kind of hint that I had ewcm. Well I know you shouldn't tell them these things but I can't help myself. My opk was negative yesterday but I just knew we needed to do it. It is oh birthday today so although we are both working I feel positive we can dtd tonight and in the morning as no work for either of us tomorrow. Maybe again wednesday and thursday. Prehaps this month rather than dtd loads leading up to O we could o it loads after! Also feeling happier that we could be exchanging contracts today on our home. I had a massive feeling though as I brushed my teeth that a smile was coming (on the opk). I kept getting excited and though nah....but there was the smile that brightened my morning. Plus the glorious sunshine

FX for a baby in time for christmas

ohh those 10 years must have seemed like a lifetime I'll be keeping you (along with the rest of the ladies on BnB) in my thoughts and prayers to get that BFP!!
I have 4 older siblings (2 brothers and 2 sisters) and they all have 13 children between them. With me being the youngest at 30 and still no baby, I sometimes wonder will it ever happen for me?? Or did my siblings get all the baby dust

Thankfully I am blessed with an incredible husband who is a great support and encouragement through all of this. He keeps me sane most of the time! Especially after a long run of BFNs!
I don't know why but I'm feeling really optimistic about this month. Could be because of the spotting or just a feeling I have inside of me. But then again I've had those feelings before and they turned out to be nothing! 12 dpo today and I still have the heavy bbs and a little nausea this morning before breakfast. Actually couldn't eat for a few hours. FX it's morning sickness!!

6 days left to test and counting! I hope in a couple of months we are all chatting in a thread talking about our sickness and scans and all the other lovely joys of pregnancy!

 

[debrad77]

I am 12 dpo and I just want to wait for 14dpo to test. I hate this waiting game. This is my 4th round of clomid or femera,ovidrel, and iui...I am keeping my fingers crossed. I have been feeling pulses in my uterus or fallopian tubes ( somewhere) and have been exhausted but who knows....it is so easy to jump to conclusions.
I wish you all the best of luck and fingers crossed for the BFP!!!!

T2BC - good for you, rocker party girl! Yay for chart & temping - you will learn so much more & feel like you are doing everything you can, at least!

Gemmy - Wow, can't believe you ov'd CD13! You are usually up there w/me at like CD19 - 20. Thank God you tested & noticed it. Go w/your feelings & the fact you were feeling a smiley, well let's just say .

I'm right there w/you girls. I too have been busy & went out 2 nights in a row so I just noticed this morning I'm at CD13, too - yikes! Temp dropped huge, but I don't ov til CD19? Also, smiley OPKs are ticking me off majorly w/2 b2b error messages. They are sooo expensive (even in U.S.) & now I gotta wait til I can pee again. I dunno why I get so mad when that happens, but maybe bc its like almost $2 a freakin stick! I should save them all & mail them in for refund... lol (ew )

to you!!!
