Welcome to the 'Two Week Wait'

[babyready12]

11 dpo... strange craving for buffalo sauce. I eat it with everything or just by itself.. still no sore bbs which is definately not normal for me. I also had a dream about a friend and I and was woken up by a text from her. strange!

 

[Philomena]

Hi Ladies! Thanks so much... having this thread to read and comment on made the tww so much more bearable! I got my BFP on Sunday and I didn't quite believe it until yesterday when I did a digi test and saw the word 'pregnant'.
So I hope all you ladies get your BFP's soon!
For my early symptoms, I was dreaming really vividly all the time and I had loads of gas... not pretty, but I couldn't figure out why I was so gassy all the time.... and on Sunday when I woke up I noticed my breasts were not sore, which, at 5 days before AF they should have been... so the difference in feeling prompted me to do the test early... I did all my tests with Clearblue... the +/- ones first because I could buy them in bulk at Costco, then yesterday the digi one which left no doubt!
My doc says you can get a false negative HPT but never a false positive HPT... so a plus sign of any kind is a positive in my case!!
My period was due tomorrow and I've got super sore boobs and I'm feeling the fatige now... and my dreams are still super vivid!
Good luck to all you, Ladies!! Much baby dust all over the forum!!
Phil.

Congrats on the BFP, Philomena!! Happy and Healthy 9 months!! That digi says it all! So very happy to hear that your TWW ended with a BFP and now you just have to wait another 8-9 months and there'll be a baby in your arms! I hope it goes wonderfully for you. Do you know when your first scan will be?

 

[MrsHopeful]

Lilsluz-hugs to you!! You're really having a bad time and I hope you ate better soon, both mentally and physically!!
bree-sounds good! What is that stuff you took? Is it from a doctor or over the counter...does it help you Ov?

 

[MrsHopeful]

Ooh congrats Philomena!! H&H 9 months

Congrats to Philomena! Yippppeeee!!

AFM, I am 8dpo, spotted some brown creamy CM today, and my temp shot up from 98.6 to 99.0. I really, really hope that means implantation, but from experience I know not to count on any symptoms. We will see!
Also having light cramping, and a major headache last night and this morning.

Jessica, waiting for you to test girlie!!
Gemmy, when are you testing?

 

[JessikaKnupp]

congrats Philomena!!! So happy for you!

thank you Wendy! I'm still just a praying! I'm going to get a FRER tomorrow!

temp is still up today. 98.1. And last night after the hubby came home from work my back, more specifically my lower back, just started aching pretty bad. I'm hoping that was more with implantation since I had that light brown discharge on the to. Fingers crossed. But yeah today bbs are just tender, can feel very dull cramps more on right side, I also took another 3 hour nap. Now I'm craving potatoes (right now im having scalloped pots and fried taters) and sprite! Yum!

Hi My beautiful 2WW'r Ladies -

I am sorry but at the present moment my brain seems to be fried & I cannot remember anything I just read. (& I read it twice). You guys know me - I can usually remember everybody, everything they've done, what they are going thru, where they live, how old they are, but right now I am suffering from CRS (Can't Remember Sh**).

I had a rough mc & I was not prepared for it, as I thought "its only a 5-weeker, so it shouldn't be that bad, right?". Well, I have a cyst on the left that ended up giving me shooting pains into my thigh the WHOLE time, had my mc happening out of the rt side and then the pressure of it all was so bad that it pushed my lumbar discs up against my spinal cord (where i had 6 surgeries in 2010), so that was why it was very, very painful for me this time.

I will hopefully get my brain back soon & be able to respond to everyone properly, but just wishing all of you a quick 2WW with a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow...

Oh Lils - I wish I could give you a hug right now, that I could take all the pain (physical and other) you are feeling right now away for you. I really hope you start to feel better inside and out soon.

You give so much to everyone so don't you worry about remembering everything about us now - just look after yourself right now xxx

Hi All

I am so frustrated right now.
In Jan I did not get a positive OPK until CD22. Then in March I ovd on CD11!!
So this month I start OPKs on CD5 - finally I get a positive on this evening (neg this morning) - CD20!!! WTH!

Great - EXCEPT - DH is away tonight and tomorrow night!!

I had a feeling that this would happen so we did BD last night.

Do you think we still have a chance this month?

*sigh*

I know how you feel....but of course you have a chance! Those sperm will be right there waiting for the egg when it drops. The month I finally caught the egg, I had only BD'd 3 days before ov...so there's always hope!

They can live up to 5 days, so two should be just fine. I hope you catch the egg this month!!

 

[gemmy]

Good luck t2bc - there is sure to be a chance -fx for you! It's so annoying when o is inconsistent and even more with no opportunity to bd. Will you bd in 3 days as it will probably be worth it as well. GL and FX for you this month.

Wendy I am due 5th may (sat) and will try to not test until that weekend. Got to get through this weekend first. FX for you! Yes it's hard to get excited by the small things which give you hope like temps and hopefully ib when previous months those same things have turned out to be not the bfp you were hoping for, but take each month as it comes - that definately sounds hopeful, really praying for you!

Jessica - I would be really surprised now if you were not pregnant! Can't wait to see your test results Totally FX for you, yea for all those positive symptoms

 

[Dani402]

My doc says you can get a false negative HPT but never a false positive HPT... .

Unfortunately this isn't true. I was in the ER in December thinking I was having a mc because I'd gotten TWO Clearblue POSITIVES (2 days in a row)...after blood test and sonogram was done, they told me I'd never been pg to begin with (despite late AF and TWO positive digital HPTs)... the doctor said she'd worked as an OBGYN prior to coming to ER, so I believed her when she said that the tests could have been stored in a hot truck or...any number of other causes that cause tests to say + when really they're not...

I'm not saying this is the case for you -- you've used two different KINDS of tests, so I'm sure you're golden. Congrats! ...just wanted to share...it is possible. And disappointing!

You definitely still have a chance. With my pregnancy right now, we only BD 3 days before ovulation and that was it!

Oh yay! You got a little banana now
I really hope this is it. The spotting has stopped, and I have heartburn right now, which is unusual for me, and earlier today I had a jumpy stomach and was totally gagging. That is weird, too. Hanging on to hope.....

 

[SasJk]

I am new to this whole babymaking thing... but I have sooo many weird symptoms! I still have to wait another 9 days to test! Aaarrrrrgh. How will I survive???

By keeping busy! (here and any other way you can think) I'm testing on Saturday and it's felt like such a long time to get to this Wednesday. You can do it.
