Hey all
My tww starts again today. 4th cycle. Just had 2 full days of positive opks and lots of bd with dh.

So let the crazy symptom spotting begin and the madness that is the tww.

Anyone else in the tww - hoping to hear lots of bfp stories xx

I'm on my very first 2ww, 1st attempt for first baby ??

Hopefull - when does your 2wW theoretically end. I'm hateing it too and only just begun. Tough not talking about it to others too in RL. How much do you OH join you in the stress of the wait? Mine doesn't seem to get to involved in the dates and the stages and bothering about what happening, he wants a baby but is more detached.

Ah, thanks!
Well I don't think I can spend any more money on tests just now...
Maybe I'll bring out my own brand so that other women like me can pay of my mortgage! Lol.

I'm going out tonight too but won't be having a drink unless af arrives before I go Hmm

Joey0805 · 01/11/2014 15:56

It's one of those First Response Early Result tests (thy come in a pink box and are supposed to be the most sensitive)

loopylou1984 · 01/11/2014 14:47

Hi Joey - what is FRER? Xx

Joey0805 · 01/11/2014 14:29

I'm going to a party tonight (last minute) so thought I should POAS this morning, got a BFN. With a FRER and at 10DPO I think that's fairly conclusive!

loopylou1984 · 01/11/2014 08:29

Thanks April- based on a 28 day cycle this is a week late, but I could be a couple of days out I guess... Fingers crossed. X

Aprilray · 01/11/2014 08:26

Sam, I've heard of people not getting a BFP until they're a week late so hang in there.

loopylou1984 · 01/11/2014 07:50

Just to update you, tested this morning with fmu and still negative. Day 35 now Hmm
I don't know what's going on.
Based on when I ovulated this is ridiculous - but surely the test would show positive by now if I was pg? X

loopylou1984 · 31/10/2014 22:07

Thanks April no it wasn't, am going to test in the morning. Will let u know! X

Fruityb · 31/10/2014 21:22

I shall join here though I'm not officially in 2ww till later next week, around Wednesday. My method this month is to boink away next week and hope that the good news comes this month. It's been about a year trying though to be honest I was too naive at the start and so class it as properly trying since about Feb. Desperate for it now!

Aprilray · 31/10/2014 21:01

Oh no Sam, how frustrating for you! I take it it wasn't fmu so maybe not concentrated, hopefully you will be out of limbo with a shiny BFP soon.

HairStylistToBoris · 31/10/2014 20:26

Sam - very confusing for you. Wait a couple if days and try again? From what you have shared I was so sure you were going to come back with a positive result.

Beansprout30 · 31/10/2014 17:54

Fingers crossed for you Sam

loopylou1984 · 31/10/2014 17:07

I caved and bought a test while out shopping = negative
It's day 34 now, I've NEVER been this late. Confused. X

HairStylistToBoris · 31/10/2014 16:48

Sam I'd be POAS hourly in your position. I obsessively POAS from 4 days before my period is due. I think I cause cramping etc in my desperate symptom spotting..

loopylou1984 · 31/10/2014 12:25

Joey - it helps that hubby is off at the moment so I can borrow some will power off of him too!

Joey0805 · 31/10/2014 11:56

Sam - you have amazing willpower! I am impressed :)

I am 9DPO (no more cramping but no other symptoms either except, and this can't be related, my 1 daily coffee has gone straight to my head the last 2 days, waaaaay more of an effect than usual) trying to hold off POAS until 14DPO unless AF gets me first!

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 31/10/2014 10:11

1dpo here... And the tww begins

loopylou1984 · 31/10/2014 07:28

Morning hopefull

I'm going to leave it until tomorrow to test as only have one left and don't want to waste it. Tomorrow will be a week late! Day 34 today.

How are you doing?

I don't really drink alcohol that much and I gave up caffeine a year or so ago. But I don't think there's any harm in a glass or to of vino. Anyone ready to test yet? Xx

HairStylistToBoris · 30/10/2014 21:36

Joey Thankyou. That's a good framework. I don't drink heavily but I do have 2 coffees a day and sometimes a large glass or two of wine. No wild nights Sam at the moment!

loopylou1984 · 30/10/2014 21:26

Yeah I know, then I feel guilty for not acting as happy for them as I should. Lol. Xx

Beansprout30 · 30/10/2014 21:24

It's so hard keeping it quiet too, whilst im happy for them I sit there thinking arghhh why is it not me!!

Not a big coffee or alcohol drinker, I mainly drink water but have cut down exercise only because I was going on long hard runs and my body felt exhausted which is probably not too good when ttc
