Anyone care to join me for this interminable length of waiting time?! I'm only 1 dpo! Brew

Hi both!

glad, I think I read that sore boobs are caused by progesterone, which would make them a symptom of the LP whether or not you get pg that cycle.

I also don't understand why it's so wrong to POAS at 10dpo! If there's any chance of an ultra sensitive test being right, wouldn't you want to take that chance of shortening the waiting game? A BFN wouldn't be any worse than another day on the 2ww. But I just gave this shpeal over on the september bus thread, so now am just going overkill on it.

I'm testing tomorrow morning at 9dpo, I don't care if the chances are slim-to-none of an accurate result. Any chance is good by me.

hello everyone! I'm 4dpo, I think, (there has been a lot of debate between myself and fertility friend on that one as first we thought ov'd CD16 then we decided it was CD18) it's my first cycle so was just trying to dtd a lot to hit the right day! Not sure we did. Already reading up on what early symptoms I might get so will, for sure, be spotting them like mad in the next 2 weeks!

GladitsnotJustMe · 19/09/2013 14:26

Do you mind if I join you? I need someone to talk some sense into me and stop me from POAS too early!

I'm currently 10 DPO. Boobs ma-hoosive and very sore, but they usually get sore at this time in my cycle every month... been trying to convince myself they're more sore than usual but that's difficult to say.

I'm also feeling nauseous and have reflux - yesterday and today. Again, might just be imagining it, but definitely felt like I was going to throw up today.

So, would I be stupid to just POAS - I'd only be setting myself up for disappointment, right? .....

GnomieGrace · 18/09/2013 16:37

So last night I dreamt I got a BFP! Can't I get a respite from the symptom spotting even in my sleep!! Am definately going crazy now! Sorry for the BFN's ladies and hang on in there, I an determined to make it to the weekend! X

COmountaingirl · 18/09/2013 14:01

Bummer about another bfn, noblooming, but still just could take time for result, especially if you're not sure of ov date, right? So unfair to feel those symptoms but not see a BFP!

This waiting is already driving me batty and it's only my first cycle. Went and bought a first response to poas tomorrow, so I'm definitely caving in and testing early (AF due Sunday). Much respect to anybody who can wait till 14+dpo -I clearly lack the willpower! Now must summon powers of concentration to actually get some work done!

xx

Nobloomingideapgornot · 18/09/2013 12:43

How's everyone doing? So no bfp despite my earlier hope, another several bfns!

Still feeling nauseous at times, bloated, no AF, constipated, have popped on a couple of pounds, loads of windy pops, small appetite.

I'm losing hope......

Nobloomingideapgornot · 17/09/2013 10:16

Thanks Co and welcome.

Pull up a chair, have piece of my cake. ...anything to kill time lol

Nobloomingideapgornot · 17/09/2013 10:14

Thanks gnomie....my husband is still trying to get his head round why we don't now yet etc lol!!
Good luck to us both, keep strong!
Still feeling mehh, boobs hurt, painful back, bloated...or maybe that's the home made banana and syrup cake I just had lol! Xx

internationallove985 · 17/09/2013 09:55

Hi Comountaingirl welcome to the thread. x
I went in to my 2ww wait on Satarday. I'm due to test 28th Sept if the witch doesn't show up. xx

COmountaingirl · 17/09/2013 09:42

Hello, just joining this thread (and MN) for the first time. So comforting to read everyone's posts and be assured I'm not the only one going crazy during the 2ww!! :)

I think I'm 9dpo based on cm. It's only our first cycle trying so I know it would be unusually lucky to get a BFP first time and have tried not to get hopes up. But Sunday I felt like I had mild flu-like symptoms which gave way yesterday to mild nausea (pretty much constant) and a weird metallic taste in my mouth (couldn't even finish my coffee yesterday, and I normally can't function without my morning cup so v unusual). Boobs are a bit swollen today but not painful.

GnomieGrace Also desparately trying not to poas until AF due on Sunday, but doubt I will make it!

Noblooming hope you get a better result with a digital.

GnomieGrace · 17/09/2013 07:43

Noblooming sounds like a case for a digital to me! Grin Good luck! Fx for you, I'm desperately trying to stick it out to Friday to see if AF arrives before POAS I don't know if I'll make it though!

Nobloomingideapgornot · 17/09/2013 06:46

Ovulation ..umm I did kinda know but lost track of dates, I know we DTD smack in the middle of ovulation.
I'm nearly two weeks after DTD so early possibly anyway....argh who knows.
I'm driving myself insane!!
First response was negative this morning..humph
Should have stuck with my tesco one

VJONES1985 · 16/09/2013 20:50

So,when was the last time you ovulated? Or are you not sure?

Nobloomingideapgornot · 16/09/2013 20:41

No picture, it didnt come out. If I google my lmp date it says 4 weeks pg...argh. Gues FMU with first reponse in the morning. I'm hopeful

Oh forgot to mention the wind ..omg, constant burping lol
Xx

VJONES1985 · 16/09/2013 20:28

Sounds like it to me!! Any chance of a pic?

Nobloomingideapgornot · 16/09/2013 20:20

I think my 2ww has ended..with a bfp but not sure. I can see a dark second pink line when I hold the test upto the light..what's the thoughts? AF due two days ago.
I'm having nausea, boobs feel huge, I bloated and loads of low abdomen pain and back ache.

Hmmmm??

VJONES1985 · 16/09/2013 20:02

Hi all. Scrabble, anyone? So, I'm 2 dpo but still dtd daily for a few days in case ov was delayed. This is my first month on b6 in a bid to lengthen my lp so I hope it works.

Jeez, the 2ww is so horrible!

GnomieGrace · 16/09/2013 18:52

Right someone needs to keep me sane! Symptom spotting like crazy! Sore nipples, frequent urination, bloating. I hope this isn't PMS!

Positivementakattitude · 15/09/2013 18:25

GnomieGrace · 15/09/2013 13:58
