On the 2ww...

You won't sleep tonight ha ha

I too will try and put a pic on in the morning. I hope it's a little darker for you in the morning and for me. I am going to do an FRER on Monday morning. X

Thanks Squeakybeaky, it is helpful and especially to know others are going through th waiting game also.
KitKat, that's so exciting!! Congratulations to you x

Also not ignoring you obsessed1. I just got a bit excited about the stick picture ;)

I do believe that you can have symptoms before you are producing Hcg after all there are things going on down there!

The 16th is a while away. If I were you I would test again in a couple of days.

Hope that helps and don't give up hope :)

Looks like a line to me!!!! Eeeek exciting! You just have to do another in the morning :) I'm not a firm believer in FMU x

Hi all, I'm new to all this but have been reading your thread and it's made me feel so much better knowing that I'm not the only one going through this!!

DH and I have only this month talk about TTC #1. I'm not sure of the exact dates or length of my cycle yet but the most recent AF dates I do remember was starting on 14th Feb so this is the only thing I have to go on at the moment and I'm guessing that I was probably most fertile around the end April/beginning of this month.

Since Saturday I have been driving myself crazy symptom spotting. Mainly I noticed a bloated feeling across my tummy (though I feel like it's in my bellybutton area, and I can't help but feel it should be lower?) and occasional pinching in my left ovary, as well as occasional bouts of quesiness. My BBs feel the same as usual. Yesterday was the final straw when I experienced a migraine (which usually only comes occasionally just before AF starts, I think triggered by the hormones). About an hour after it started my left hand went completely numb with pins and needles. I didn't want to take usual migraine tabs, as by this point I had convinced myself I was pregnant and didn't want to jeopardize it in any way. Sooo...

Although I was planning to wait till around the 16th to do a test, following this I was so convinced that this is it that I went out and bought one straight away. My sister said she only ever has migraines when in v. early pregnancy. I took test first thing this morning and.... it cam up BFN!!!!!!!

Now my question is:

If I don't have enough HcG in my system to produce even a faint BFP, am I imagining or reading too much into these "symptoms"???

I was soooo convinced that I was, but now this has really made me doubt myself and think mayb I'm just noticing things that I would normally take no notice of. I wish I hadn't taken the test after all and held off as now I dread re-testing and getting another BFN.

This is only my first month and already I feel like it's making me a little bit crazy.

Any thoughts on my question / symptoms would b much appreciated xxx

Ha ha kitkat, two of my dreams have been about babies and the others about really bizarre stuff also very violent and nasty so ikwym totally, really strange that we have both had that!! I'm just really perplexed about the BFN tbh! Baby dust to all those still in this time x

Hi kitkat and others :)

Not sure exactly what dpo I am as haven't been using opk but I reckon I'm a couple of days into the 2ww. BFP due 22 May!

Good morning ladies :-)
This has been our 2nd month ttc, and AF is due today. This will be my first child, so as you can imagine I'm relatively new to all this. Been having some strange symptoms this week, which are briefly:
Feeling nauseous all week
Itchy nipples which feel like pins are being stuck into them
Very bizarre, vivid dreams
Feel hot in the night and when I wake up
Big bloated belly
Bigger breasts, and I can see a vein on my right breast
The Montgomery gland thingies are sticking out and the ones on my nipples are white at the ends
I've had period-like cramps on my left side for the last seven days, felt like AF was on her way for last three days, but nothing!
Many more trips to the loo than usual
I also had a strop at a lady in a shop yesterday and I stormed out, which is not me at all, I'm usually very very laid back and chilled out!
Oh, and the cat will not leave me alone!!!

I tested yesterday morning (day before I was due) and got a BFN
Is it me? Am I going mad? As it's the first time I've ever had to go through any of this, your help would be much appreciated x

Good luck for next month Lucky August
Another faint line sounds very promising to me Squeaky 8dpo is very early, I reckon lots of people would not be getting anything that early. Doesn't Hcg double every 48 hours? Tomorrow morning may well bring a darker line! I have to go to Boots today to get some more conception vitamins...dangerous...I will walk past the POAS aisle with my eyes closed!

I did one this morning but the line is still like it was yesterday! Very very faint and pretty much un photographable! Still only 8dpo though so ages to torment myself yet!

I am so sorry to hear that ticktick! Be kind to yourself and hears to next month :)

Looks like I'm out too . Light bleeding and cramping pains which is a typical cycle for me. On to next month......... Didn't really expect it to happen first month anyway. Also looking forward to an update from squeaky and hoping everyone else having lots of symptoms

ClimbergirlI would love to be married to a Dr. I am a complete hypochondriac. I had last night too. Felt a bit guilty, but seems silly to give it up for something that might not be there! I also have feeling I'm not as well. Had no real EWCM this month to speak of, so think that's what's made me think it hasn't happened. Also I have boob pain at front, which I read means estrogen is dominant and you haven't ovulated...so now I think I don't ovulate anymore (see hypochondriac) STEP AWAY FROM DR GOOGLE. This is why I need to be married to a real Dr as well!!
Sorry to hear this isn't your month ticktick. Have lots of wine, coffee and undercooked red meat to make yourself feel better
Looking forward to a second line update squeaky!

It's not good squeaky, definitely too much temptation and far too much info as DH a DR as well .. I gave up this evening and had a few have an inner feeling it isn't my month. I'm (I think) 8 dpo, but not entirely sure as first cycle post pill... Is it bad to keep drinking till ++ arrives?!

wow squeaky that is so exciting only slightly jealous xx

Thanks for everyone's nice wishes but it looks like I'm out of the May club now. I dont think this could be implantation, its gotten heavy now. Pants. Got home from Germany earlier today, my DH had tidied the bedroom and put fresh sheets on the bed ready for my return, wink wink..... Nothing like sparkling white bed sheets to provoke AF!!!

Yeah I will do one a day now to hopefully watch it get darker! You do run the risk of knowing too much too soon when you test early though but I just can't help myself x
