Pull up a chair for the 2ww...

New on conception but not on mn. Hello! I'm 2dpo today I think and symptom spotting as per!! Relaxed a bit about ttc this month (smashed up the cb opk lol) and didn't do much around ov but loads of sticks ready and waiting to be peed on so why not

Who is testing next ?

Sorry you're unwell, Layla. Am having my nails done tomorrow and taking a friend out for lunch. Saturday am buying a new dress for when I become a spiritual guide for a friend's baby (she's doing a pagan naming ceremony) and Sunday am at a bbq.

Layla - even though I got positives for the following two days?

vjones ..its anytime from when you get that positive opk - 12-36 hours later

my AF is due on 30/31st Aug, my cycles are always 27/28 days .like clock work... i'm dreading it...lol... today i've been laid up in bed all day with a cracking head and my UTI... feel like poo!!! ....if only it was sore breasts, cramps/spotting etc then i'd welcome those symptoms!!! hahaha....however the way i'm feeling has nothing to do with pregnancy at all, just plain and simple unwell....... still one can dream ... we should be expecting AF or hopefully in your cases BFP's, around about the same time. spread over a week .... fingers, toes, and anything else i can possibly cross!!!...are any of you doing anything exciting at the weekend??? at least the weekends go quick so time will fly

Does anyone know if it's possible that I actually ov on day 1 or 2 of my positive opks? Or is it more likely to have been day 3 (the last day)? Thanks.

Same here. A 28 day cycle would be Sep 3rd for af/bfp. I had positive opk on cd17, 18 and 19 so I'm assuming I ovulated on cd19.

Vjones im the same, first month off pill, but im guessing bfp/af due on 26th going on a 28 day cycle

This is my first month off the pill so not sure when af is due :(

Yeah, will try to hang on until Sunday then :(

hmmm... caramel shortbread... any chance of sending some over Jelly? dough-y colour sounds fine by me... anything I bake seems to end up cremated (joys of a crazily hot gas oven that I still can't get the hang of!)

vjones I think I'll POAS on the monday (2nd) should be 13dpo and AF should have shown up if she's going to by then... if you wait till sunday or monday you should be good I think...

ELR only another 3-4 days wait for you to POAS.. good luck holding out!!

It's a nightmare having to wait. Have told myself I'll test next weekend but even then it might be a bit early. Grrr.

See there go my thumbs again "haven't made it" not have.

Hello bush (waves)

Haha whoops, I meant I'm NOW 5dpo. Bloody thumbs.

Yeah I have made it since I was at school. It's been in for aaaages and I can't seem to get it to go golden. It just stays dough-y colour :/

Bushprincess - am aiming to poas next weekend!

I see what you mean. So it'll be a week at least until I get any signs. You're not 5dpo? How many dpo are you? Caramel shortbread sounds yummy.

Hi All... hope everyones doing well and keeping distracted from the endless wait!

VJONES I'm 2pdo too (so now into my second 2ww of the TTC journey) and also going stir crazy! Will be POAS at the same time probably... fx!

right... better do some work rather than scour the web for yet more conception advice!!

Hey vjones! I'm not 5dpo. Feeling impatient but less today, as I'm keeping busy (making caramel shortbread )

You won't get pregnancy symptoms until you are at least 9-12dpo but you will get symptoms of hormonal changes.

You know how people say about pregnancy symptoms and AF symptoms being the same... Well the days past ov leading up to your implantation (9-12dpo) will be hormonal changes. Bcos your body doesn't know that you are pregnant yet and is just getting you body ready for a period.

Does that make sense?

I feel silly though because I'm 2dpo so there must be another, perfectly logical reason why I feel so sick!! The earliest you can check is 9 dpo with certain hpts but a lot of women don't see a result until 12 dpo or even later.

Hi everyone just checking in. I think I'm about 8 or 9 dPO and its driving me mad! i had been feeling queasy for at least the past 5 days but nothing this morning. And now got mild period pains and achy boobs feeling like I'm going mad how soon can I Poas? Think AF is due wed/ thurs.
jones I'm totally symptom spotting like mad!!!

twiddles thumbs Sooo.... How's everyone coping with the 2ww? I'm 2 dpo and already symptom spotting, which is ridiculous.

LTT "Swollen and achy boobs and WTF - righty is producing colostrum????!!!" this sounds very promising! Hoping you have a BFP

*he's working a few hours away

Sadly not! He's working a few hours and being put up in a spa hotel the jammy git.
Should be home Friday night, so i shall POAS first thing Saturday, promise!

I just feel a bit apprehensive, it's our first cycle trying, and as DH has been working v long hours 7 days a week we only managed to DTD once, the day I OV! It would be quite flukey to get pregnant that easily.

I only stopped bfing DS a few months ago, so I wondered if the colostrum was related to my boobs 'winding down', but it does seem a bit of a coincidence! Bloody hell that gave me a shock this morning tho.

FX eh? :)
