I now understand it!

[SassyMummy]

Well, I'm not pregnant.

I thought I might be, and am disappointed to discover that I'm not.

For a few months now, I've been secretly hoping that I'd somehow end up pregnant... so when DP and I had unprotected sex recently, I was hoping and praying!

I took a test today, and I'm not. Well, I'm pretty certain I'm not. I'm probably about 5-7 days before AF is due (can't remember exactly when it'd due), so there's still a VERY TINY chance I might be, but it's more wishful thinking than anything else.

But I understand now. I will admit that whole "two week wait" thing I kinda rolled my eyes at. I thought, "Seriously, 2 weeks? It's not that long... sheesh!" But, having gone through about 5 pregnancy tests in the last week (lol), I can understand how it must feel.

Obviously, I'm not TTC, but I'm kinda there in my mind. If DP said, "Hey, let's have more babies," I'd be absolutely over the moon.

So I now I understand hte Two Week Wait thing, and I also understand how you must feel when the month goes by and all you get is 1 miserable line staring back at you on the pregnancy test. Stupid bloody things.

yeah i know what that is like.... when dh&I were trying in like 2002...i think dh smuggled one from the hospital where he used to work, so i was glad i didnt need to buy one, i bought one with clare though, cause dh no longer worked at the hospital. i think i just waited until af came or not till i tested..:o

Sorry to hear that you're not pregnant Stacey, I've been reading a few of your posts lately and I know you secretly wanted this. The 2WW is frustrating huh?? DH and I have been TTC for over 2 years now, and I think a little piece of my heart breaks every month that we get :bfn: 's. Can't complain really tho, I have 1 beautiful, amazingly wonderful DD who I'm so, so lucky to have! Not to mention how expensive it gets doing those stupid tests all the time. You never know Stacey, you may still be UTD (might be too early) but maybe it didn't happen for a reason, weren't you saying DH wasn't too keen on having another baby yet??

Take care

I just had an unexpected TWW.. well 1 WW actually, and it would have been not ideal to get a BFP, so when I double checked this morning that I got the BFN I wanted, I was still disapointed.

and Sassymummy.. you are definitely not out of the TWW wait yet! very rare to get a true reading that earl. Get back on the TWW Bus!

[Mamalicious]

maybe you can have that talk with your dp, i really hope you get some answers out of him.

but as little toad said, its still early days!!!

Hi:wave:
We are trying for baby number 2!! we've been trying for 4months.. im waiting for my next period :fingerscrossed: fingers x it doesn't come, my cycle has been irregular so i never know when im due also a little hard to pinpoint when i ovulate, but i do the mucus test so i do have a fare idea.
So i know how you feel:hugs: i have done so many tests all NEG, with my first it took 3months from going off the pill i only one period before i fell preggies!! now im not so sure i had major complications after my sons birth..
I should get shares in the preg tests company ha ha i do so bloody many!!:ecomcity:

Well I'm not giving up hope yet!! Until AF comes then to me, you are pregnant!!! :fingerscrossed:

[Grizabella]

I would say it is too early to tell as well. Sorry :) Like they always say - your aren't not pregnant til AF arrives!Looks like you have at least 5-7 days to wait.

I also have to admit I thought the way everyone complained in here about the 2 week wait was a bit odd - until I was in my first one! Then I went totally nuts! (And am again now on 4DPO!). I had just thought, hey, you can't know you are pg yet, cause it's too early, so what are you thinking about? But now I get it. I want to know if there is a little somebody growing inside me, or if I can go about my days as usual. I have to say though, the only good thing about the 2ww is that once it is over, (for those of us with 28-30day cycles) you only have another 2 weeks until you can TTC again - if we found out straight away the egg didn't fertilise, the 4+ week wait until TTC again would be hell! :eek:

[Noah_and_Elijah]

Don't worry because even I was surprised to get a :bfp: at 9DPO... Wait to see if AF comes first... :yes:

[V8]

Noahsmama, woah i didn't see that announcement congrats! Wow, were you shocked?

And Sassymummy, i can totally understand. It's always the chance and you always hope. I would love to just fall pregnant without having to do anything and therefore have no expectations of it. But once you know you are BD'ing and can actually conceive, you truly hope that it just happens and it can do your head in until af arrives.

Goodluck for when you do start, i hope it's soon.

[SassyMummy]

Thanks everyone.

I guess I'm still in with a chance, but I guess before I had high hopes... and now I'm just kinda thinking, "I'll be VERY surprised if I AM pregnant." More a change of mood than anything I suppose... god... can you imagine if I was actually a TTCer? I'd go nuts!

I DID tell DP about it today (I told him I'm not pregnant too... I didn't tell him there's a very slight chance I may be though), and he didn't seem too interested really. I told him in the car, and when we stopped at some lights I explained how I secretly hoped I had been, because I know it might be my only shot every because I think he never wants anymore kids (then started to get a little teary and upset...lol).

He reassured me that he DOES... ONE DAY... but he wants to finish his apprenticeship and have a bit of money in the bank first.

Of course, his plan makes far more practical sense than mine... but I'm not really a practical person, so it's hard to embrace that way of thinking.

I'll say BFN for now... but if AF doesn't rear her ugly head, I'll check again. Thanks ladies!

[BaDaBing]

Well I'm not giving up hope yet!! Until AF comes then to me, you are pregnant!!! :fingerscrossed:

Completely agree with this. I didn't get my BFPs until af was o/d. I even used the sensitive tests that tell you 7 days after conception. Good Luck :fingerscrossed:
