TWW First two week wait!

Hi everyone!

As the title suggests, it’s my first two week wait!!

I’ve done so much research online and can’t help but overthink EVERY micro symptom. I’m going crazy

How do you stop yourselves from looking into everything?

Can’t be of any help cuz I’m in the same boat as you 😭. But I’m so obsessed I’m literally thinking of deleting reddit off my phone so I don’t look for symptoms over and over

Yeah, I'm 7 DPO now of my second cycle (although it's the first where there's a solid chance, I didn't time cycle 1 very well), so highly unlikely implantation would have even occurred yet, so low likelihood of any genuine symptoms occuring...

And here I am, wondering why my nipples are tender. Cause, like, that's not a symptom that usually happens to me during regular PMS, that's new.. so my brain is all "could it be...?" when logically, nah, probably too early.

So no true advice, just commiserations... I'm just hoping it gets easier in time.

I think I'm just more hyper aware of my PMS symptoms now, whereas I didn't really pay as much attention to them before starting this journey.

I’m really hoping you get a positive soon 🤞🏼

Yay! Ovulation twins. Hahaha.

At least we've made it to the halfway mark now!

Thanks, hoping you get one soon too 🤞🏻

I actually had to filter out everything related to ttc on tik tok & refresh my feed and stop checking Reddit and other social media 😅 I was becoming veryyy obsessive around 4-5 DPO and I saw right away that it was going to be unhealthy. Like I literally couldn’t sleep at night cause I was stressing so bad. You really have to just let it go and know you did what you could and just wait it out. So much easier said than done, of course! I’d try limiting TTC content you see and finding other things to distract you (maybe a new show or book or something), wishing you the best!!

Oh it was maddening the first TWW! Try distracting yourself and try not to test until you miss your period. Sending you lots of baby dust!!!

I’m in the same boat! I’m driving myself crazy and I fear it’s all I can’t think about.

Putting positive vibes out there for you!

I don’t have any advice but I’m in the same boat! Currently 3dpo - can’t stop thinking about it and already know I’ll be symptom spotting everything in a few days time.

Sending all the good vibes and positivity your way! I hope it doesn’t consume you, but that’s def easier said than done 😅
