The 2 Week Wait

This is my first 2 week wait (or 2ww as known in the online community) or in my case 16 day wait as i have a Luteal Phase (or LP) of 16 days instead of the standard 14.

It’s strange, as far as I can remember i have never wanted my period not to come, we all have the odd mishap and you spend the few weeks praying that your not pregnant, its strange to feel differently about it, to be longing for AF (as in Aunt Flo, your period) not to arrive.

So at the moment I am 7 DPO (days post ovulation) you can find all this “lingo” on this great website I found called www.twoweekwait.com by the way, trust me its really confusing trying to work it out on you own! anyway 7 DPO I know this as I have been peeing on sticks all month waiting for the day I ovulated and made sure we did the “Baby Dance” a lot around that time!

I don’t really feel anything different going on inside me at the moment, I do however think I keep making things up in my head, this morning i was convinced that I felt sick and the other day I though I had stomach cramps so of course I jump on google looking for “early pregnancy signs”  which confuses me even more! I know the only option is to wait but I want to know now!!!!

According to the pregnancy tests I brought (First Response) I can test 5 days before my period is due so that’s on Thursday but………. there’s only a 62% chance it will be accurate, on Friday a 78% chance, Saturday an 87% chance, 98% on Sunday and 99% Monday with AF due to arrive on Tuesday. Now I know the sensible thing to do would be wait until Tuesday and see if my period arrives but its hard to be that patient and I know I will test on Thursday and at least twice more (as I have a pack of 3 tests) before Tuesday!

Anyway that’s all for now. wish me luck! I would love to hear from you so please do follow my journey and let me know your thoughts and experiences
