2 DPO - 2WW, Who's with me?? :D

I do the same thing! I wanted everyone to tell me that the symptoms I had were the same as what they had when they were pregnant. And they did!

The thing that I really hope I remember next month and the month after that is that if I think I am having pregnancy symptoms, then you will have a positive pregnancy test. It's not pregnancy symptoms until you've implanted - which is more than likely three or four days before AF.

I am not trying to get you down or to believe that you're pregnant. You've had a few positive streaks so I am more sure that you may be - based on the tests you've already done. And based on that alone, I would do a digital test to confirm it.

And then you move on.

And if (after a negative digi and 10 more tests) by some small chance you ARE pregnant, it's not going anywhere. It will still be there. :D

Firstly, if you think you're pregnant - test. You're going to go dilly anyway so put yourself out of your misery and test. Your body is VERY different to anyone else's. It's unique. So you can't compare to someone else

I am just going to lazily copy and paste something I wrote on another thread:

I think the hard thing is that everyone is so different, but we are so desperate to know so they average things out and they make us believe that we are all the same.

I have been on this site for what...two weeks? And one thing I have already seen is that we all have completely different symptoms for the same thing. And when one person says, you're DEFINITELY pregnant because I had that with my first pregnancy - they're wrong and your DEFINITELY not pregnant.
Or visa versa. Only, I'm not pregnant :D

I read sites all the time about the symptoms of fibroids. Lemme tell you - I nearly bled to death about 4 times? They all bang on about Tranexamic Acid and that did nothing for me. I bled straight out, had a blood pressure crash, a fit and an ambulance visit.

Everyone is different. Every single one of us is different.

There's no comfort in that :D

You can go now then. They say drink very little and don't pee for 4 hours so you're still fine.

Hourly increments make a difference in a few hours. Not so much in one hour. But I know what you mean. If you've only been waiting an hour - you would probably be better off waiting another 3 hours.

But if you've been waiting for 4 hours, another hour isn't really going to make a difference. It'll be there or not now :)

I have no idea to be honest.

Go do it?! You're going to do it anyway and an hour won't make a difference.

Have you had a lot to drink?

There were lines? Coloured lines? After how much time?

I've never seen a coloured on any of my BFN's no matter how much time passes.

I would take it in the morning - if you've taken two today, there won't be any difference. Either tomorrow morning or evening

ooooo Country sounds very positive indeed
Hopefully one BFP will start off all of us.

Kicking turned 30 this year and DH is 32.
Going to disappear now but will be back on Sunday - got a couple of social events this evening and tomorrow.
But going to avoid the although normally on days like today I would be polishing off quite a few glasses of red.

Pardon 4 girls! :D

Ooooh looking VERY exciting!!!

Yeh I would imagine that 3 girls can be girlie! :) What were your folks like?

I have still not been proven wrong :D

And remember that you guys would be the exception, rather than the rule. Considering the number of entire families that grow up to be an CA, a solicitor, a doctor and a dentist - that's definitely not common. But your family must have done something very right :)

Ah shame - my DH would have me testing ALL THE TIME. I liked your (as if)

:D

It's looking like we have at least a couple winners for this month!

Hi guys just read through your posts - you lot have been busy!

My 3 sisters and I were all massively girlie growing up and are now: Dentist, chartered accountant, doctor & solicitor. So I wouldn't say these are overly girlie professions. I have 2DD's (7&4) and one is the queen of pink princesses and the other a total tomboy. Both brought up exactly the same. I think it's important to let kids do what they want to do. Me, and 1 of my sisters, really find it hard now to have careers (albeit part-time) and kids and sometimes wish we had chosen something more family friendly. Sounds snobby/ patronising but don't mean it that way. OTOH I look at some SAHM and know I could never do all the messy craft stuff, loads of patience etc that their day involves. I guess what i'm trying to say is each to their own. As long as we try our best and are happy with our choices then that's ok.

everything Sorry BFN this morning but it wasn't fmu so don't count yourself out yet. wait a day or so and test again.

Well back from work & shops and got 4 (yes 4!!) superdrug tests. Only problem is that I only managed a teeny tiny wee and it wasn't enough for the test at all so used another internet cheapie and got a definite, no squinting, BFP. However, as you ladies are aware these tests are crap so will hold off opening the champers (would only have a wee bit) for now. Having to drink loads of juice to try and make myself wee again!

Discussed my late AF with DH this morning and he doesn't want me to test for another 2 weeks (as if). He is so busy at work at the mo, and worries about risk of mc again, so if I get a BFP on a proper test then won't tell him for a bit. Sounds odd I know!

Mine too :)

So I know what you're going through. Except I've been doing it for a teeny bit longer :D

How old are you? Did I ask that?

Oh and can someone copy and paste my logical answers down there for when I need them next month? Please? Thanks

lol can't you tell from my obsessing?
Its my first time and first cycle of ttc. Been charting for a year and a half though. I was ready but DH wanted to wait.
It just feels so long when I look at my cycles dating back to early 2011 on the app.

red Have you had a baby before or is this your first time TTC?

You're not out until AF arrives :)

I just hurt a lot more because I had 4 extra days of negatives. And you hold on to the idea that you're pregnant.

But the truth is that those tests are largely advertised at the highest sensitivity so they more than likely do pick up a lower sensitivity - they just don't say it on the box (especially clear blue apparently).

Keep testing though :D

ladies I just wondered when we say cramps how strongly do you feel them?
I had one day of strong pain where I had to gasp and inhale and exhale deeply as the pain was stabbing sensations.

Then I had cramps which can be described as mild to medium, not painful, but you can feel them down below.

kicking according to implantation calculators - I should be implanting anytime this weekend till Tuesday. AF is due on Saturday next week. I will wait and test two days after AF is late as I am never late before.

I was just wondering about cramps and symptoms I have felt so far - I know I dont get any except big sore boobs before AF is due. So wondered if these cramps are not AF symptoms.

And yes. It happens like that. Your eggie meets spermie and they laze about for a couple days. Then it takes 3 days for the journey down the tubes. Then it starts to imbed in the walls. It takes about about 2 - 3 days for that. Once its imbedded, the placenta starts to release hcg.

It takes hcg about 2 - 3 days after that to show up on blood tests and about another 3 - 4 days to show up in your urine (unless you're using sensitive tests then I think it's about the same as a blood test).

I also read a statistic that most implantations that happen at 12 days and after land up not growing properly. By most I mean 86%.
