Welcome to the 'Two Week Wait'

[BabyHopeful2]

BFP! I over think everything, but this test couldn't be over analyzed.

My symptoms have been very subtle. Until yesterday I kept writing them off. I'm tired, since I'm always tired. My boobs are sore, but they have been getting sore since I stopped taking BC. I had the vivid dream last night only. The cramping has also been very subtle - just here and there sometimes. The only really notable thing has been the tight abdomen. It is a small version of the tightness I feel after ab workouts the next day.

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?

Hi DBZ - I have my first Dr appt today to 'confirm' my BFP and will know more then... I imagine it will be around 16 or 20 weeks... do they scan earlier? I have one DD who is 15 - but I've forgotten everything!! I feel like this is a first BFP again!

Thanks DBZ34!! This is the first time that i had ovulation pain in my lower back. When i went for the iui my doc said you are ovulating i can see it around the cervix. i'm learning as i am going through this!! thanks again for the info.

 

[Kismat026]

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???

Stay busy! Don't read to much into it! It makes it that much harder for me! Haha hang around here! The ladies here are so so helpful! And they are all awesome! goodluck fx

Definately stay busy!!! i had my first iui on the 15th and am still waiting to confirm...i know it's very very hard but just keep your mind occupied. this site is fantastic, everyone is soooo suppportive!!! just don't dwell on your symptoms. that is the worst when you analyze every little symptom, granted i did that at the beginning, it's only natural. just hang in there you'll found out soon!!!

Hi ladies!
Wow haven't been on this thread much in the last few days....lots of new ladies - welcome! Sorry if I can't remember all the names!

Congrats to the BFPs!!!

Good luck Jessika... I think you are preggo girl...

Wendy - how are you feeling? Fx for you!

Sarah - so happy for you - have you bought a lot of pink stuff yet?

Laura - are you going to find out boy/girl?? Happy to hear from you...

Lils - Big hugs to you hun.... hope you're not working too hard xoxo

Posey - so nice to hear from you! Glad the doctor gave you some hope! that is great... Baby dust to you xoxox

Ella and Gemmy - hello and big hugs!

and everyone I missed - hello!!

AFM - I think I'm 3DPO today... FF shows I ovulated on Day 11... kind of early... but I had to 'adjust' 2 of my temps this week because temps taken at 2 and 3 am (AD not letting me sleep much)... I think it's pretty accurate though since my CM dried up a few days ago... We'll see what happens this month... but it's my first month using FF... haven't temped in 7-8 years! (except for 1 month last year).. If I get a BFP this cycle would be the best b-day present ever - my 40th b-day is May 12 and AF should arrive a few days before.

Have a great weekend ladies!

Hi.
This is my very first 2ww.
Already have some symptoms. Most likely only 2DPO though.
Might be imagining things, might not.
Feel very queasy. Since 11pm yesterday (it´s 4:30am, so it´s been about 30 hours now). Only gets better when I drink a bit of Coca Cola...
More symptoms present, but I´m trying not to symptom spot, so as not to get too optimistic.

Way too early for symptoms at 2DPO, right?

Oh, I should add that the symptoms you feel now are most likely due to the rise in progesterone in your system, which happens every month after ovulation. The reason they are similar to what you expect from pregnancy is because they're produced by the same hormone, you just produce more of it after implantation. So it's normal to feel some symptoms, they just aren't the ones you're necessarily looking for just yet...

 

[DBZ34]

Gemmy - Good luck this month! I can't wait to hear how it goes for you. Keeping my fingers crossed for a nice big fat positive for you.

Jessika - It's going to be hard not to test, but I'm hoping that when you do, you'll get that BFP that you're waiting for. Your symptoms sound so good!

BabyHopeful - You can't deny that digi! BFP!! Congrats again!!

Philomena - Keep us updated! How'd that doctor's appointment go? I think it depends on the country and the doctor's office how early you get scanned. But I've know some people who have gotten early scans (my SIL was scanned at 6wks) but I think the first can be around 12 weeks....


Kismat- You're welcome!

Laura- Hi!! You're almost to a lemon! I can't believe how fast it feels like your pregnancy is progressing! How have you been feeling lately?

Maria- Hi Maria!! Yay for temping! I hope you get that birthday BFP you're hoping for! I'm hoping for it too! Sending lots of sticky thoughts your way!


Maybe it's time for name sharing again....There's so many new ladies!



AFM- My week of relief from those TWW symptoms that never went away is over. Backache, tired, acid reflux, bloated....all my old friends are back. But I'm ignoring them because they're always hanging around and actually, I feel pretty out this cycle.

But on the upside, DH has agreed to start taking vitamins. I'm thinking the male version of Pregnacare...we'll see how it goes. He's very into doing whatever I want for TTC sake now, where as before he was so anti everything TTC. The change is nice, but like I said, it does make me feel so guilty when AF shows because he's disappointed too. Oh well, hopefully we won't have to have too many more months of disappointment....but it'll happen when it's meant to, I'm sure.

i have been exhausted lately! I'm not sure what to go by for ovulation my opk or my ff temps. hmm we will see. but some stuff that has been going on is in the evenings I've been feeling a little queazy.. and some smells make me sort of sick to my stomach. another thing i have noticed is I'm ALWAYS tired. i usually have a TON of energy and never sleep early last night i fell asleep super early and slept all night right up until my alarm went off. THAT NEVER HAPPENS even though i slept all night I'm so exhausted as of right now. I'm going to go lay down and take a nap. my temp have been up the past two days so thats good [= i just hope this month is my month! if not its back to the bedroom! hahah. I'm sooo happy for all you ladies who got bfps JESSIKA! fx for you I'm so anxious to see how everything turns out praying for you hun! cant wait until you test again! DBZ34 my hubby took vitamins the last time we ttc and the month after he started taking them i got my bfp! so yay! i hope it works out for you guys! i feel the same about being out this month! ]= so hey! we can be ttc buddies and hopefully we get those BFP's soon! fx. and i know its so sad when the DH's are disappointed ]= i feel like its all my fault every month when af comes. hah we just gotta keep our heads up! i still have no idea what to think of my cycle this month i started fertibella last month i have a weird af cycle. so i think with the fertibella this month everything is getting regulated on back on track. hah so I'm just taking one day at a time. this site helps so much! i love all you ladies and all your advice [= xoxo!

Hi Ladies - I'm back! Thank you all for your kind words, for thinking about me & sending some love my way I felt it & it helped LOTS! This thread is moving way too fast for me & too confusing so I'll just comment where/when I can. I'm still piecing together my brain from off the floor, here...

Dashka - yay for crosshairs! I just saw them so very glad you got them! I didn't think FF would have liked that one temp that dipped down (bc wasn't sustained), but it probably took the time taken into consideratin (its so smart!) GL & FX FOR BABY DASHKA BEFORE 40th!!!!!

Gemmy - You asked about yoru chart & I see its still dotted today. If I had to "guess" I would have guessed CD17, but...??? FX & GL honey!

Ella - Yay that DH is "really" getting on board now! You are no way, shape or form "out" young lady! You are only 8DPO - may not have even implanted yet so you aren't going to get those symptoms (IF you get any - a lot of women DON'T!) until more near AF. You are STILL in & YES honey, its will happen for you when its all meant to be - I just know it!

Laura - honey! Yes, when are we going to know baby's sex?

T2BC - I know you ov'd CD20 & are worried about it, but please don't be - BD'ing on CD19 is perfect! And I am glad you are getting back to sailing again. I know, we tend to put off our lives & stop doing everything we've ever loved "just in case" & then after so many months/years, not only do we not have our baby yet, but we've just lost ourselves & everything we ever loved in the process. Its too muckin fuch sometimes! Get back to being you & it will happen!

 

[LilSluz]

Posey - I am soooo freaking happy for you! I'm so glad that things are looking much better now! I was so mad at your Dr/boss for telling you it was "hopeless" - WTF does he know?! So, so glad & please keep us updated!!!!!

Wendyyyyy - Your temps are skyrocketing girl!!! Keeping all things I have crossed for you & will be stalking!

Phil - Congrats on BFP! H&H 9 months!

BabyHopeful2 - Congrats to you on BFP H&H 9 months!!!

Jessica - its looking good for you too - may just be too early (FX)

 

[bree801]

Lil I just went back and read everything I'm sending all my love and positive thoughts your way! Xoxo!

 

[LilSluz]

Bree - same to you what I told Ella above! Way to early to be ducking out, young lady! So, do you have 1 kid already or it wasn't viable? (the BFP)

 

[LilSluz]

Bree - we just cross-posted. thank you so much! That means a lot

 

[bree801]

Bree - same to you what I told Ella above! Way to early to be ducking out, young lady! So, do you have 1 kid already or it wasn't viable? (the BFP)

[LilSluz]

Bree - Oh, I'm sorry honey. I've had 3 now so I know how much they suck... It's sheer cruelty. There's a girl on another thread that has mc'd 6 & all at 11-12 wks, can you effing imagine?!?! She's so strong - such an inspiration bc I more & they may have to ship me off the the funny farm! GL to you (promising dip there, I must say...)

MrsHopeful - how are you?

Aw crap, I forgot everyone else - Welcome to all of the newbies!!! And for all those in 2WW (a hell of a lot of you!) lots & lots of baby ! For those of us waiting to ov...I think I'm the only one nevermind! Guess I can give myself ... haha

It is cruel when we found out my dh cried so I got even more emotional about it! :/ but it will happen when it is meant to happen! I'm sorry honey! They are so hard. And wow six!? If I have another I don't know what I could do so I can't even imagine. My mom had 4 mc's before me all at 6 months ): but now she has three healthy children. I just think when it's meant to be it will happen!! I just get so impatient waitingb haha lots of sticky dust to you Hun! Can't wait until your in your tww! And I'm hoping that dip is a good thing! I'm not sure when I ovulated :/ I got a positive opk on cd 24 :/ so who knows I could be 7 dpo or I could be 2dpo I'll just keep looking at my temps! Only time will tell! Hehe.
