Last month I drove myself nuts with symptom spotting and early poas. I had every sign and symptom going and was convinced I was pregnant. Luckily I kept a list of all my many symptoms on a calendar so this time if necessary I can remind myself that pms has all the same same features as early pregnancy.
I'm determined not to test until 23rd, as I think I should come on then if I'm going to, must stay strong!! Anyone want company in ignoring the whole thing?!

All of my symptoms are the same as last month Sad sore boobs, twinges, creamy cm. So best not to expect anything. Wish I could stop waiting for that bfp.

epskie your doing really well with the not spotting!! Lol!

Good luck Malibu! It is so tough not to notice every cramp etc!!!

epskie · 26/03/2015 20:25

Good luck Malibu hope.you're better than us at not symptom spotting! I have flu at the moment so any symptoms kind of don't count.

Yes you did spring it sounds like a positive one though! ( . ) ( . )

Blush I just symptom spotted!!!!!

Springflower3 · 26/03/2015 19:13

Ok, just got in to pjs and near cried with pain at taking bra off... Would it be too early to have this pain!!!?? Af not due to 4th!

MalibuDaisy · 26/03/2015 19:12

Hoping I can join in now as I'm about to enter the 2ww with an absolute ban on all symptom spotting, because it did my head in last month! All of my "pregnancy" symptoms were actually symptoms of an impending shitty cold, and this month I'm determined not to POAS until AF is a whole day late, and just forget about the whole "Am I, aren't I?" thing! Easier said than done, I guess Wink

epskie · 26/03/2015 19:08

Sorry should have specified, doh! Last Wednesday, so I'm 8dpo? When is best to test, 14dpo isn't it?

Lots of dtd for you then Terry Wink

TerryTheGreenHorse · 26/03/2015 18:16

You usually ovulate between 24-48 hours after the smiley so I'd probably assume you ovulated between Wednesday and Thursday.

I'm only just going into the tww, think i ovulated yesterday!

Long way to go.

fuzzywuzzy · 26/03/2015 18:05

Wednesday just gone yesterday? You'd be 1dpo

If you're talking last week then you're 8dpo.

epskie · 26/03/2015 17:56

Ladies quick question, I've got myself all confused, numbers were never my strong point. If I got a smiley on my opk on Wednesday and dtd on Wednesday and Thursday - how many dpo am I? Confused

TerryTheGreenHorse · 26/03/2015 17:07

Oyster I am well impressed! I'd never last that long.

Good luck fx for you

epskie · 26/03/2015 16:44

Fingers crossed oyster Smile

Oysterbabe · 26/03/2015 16:43

I've been so good this month and only started to do a bit of symptoming the last couple of days. AF due Saturday but testing tomorrow due to wanting to know if I can drink wine tomorrow night.

epskie · 26/03/2015 16:32

To be honest, the cheapies from poundland and similar shops are good too!

Those symptoms sound rather positive! Keep us posted Smile

browneyedgirl86 · 26/03/2015 16:23

Hi Epskie, I'm going to test Monday (if I can hold out that long!)

Not really had that many symptoms, felt a bit sick, had some really intense vivid dreams, having to go to the bathroom more.
Will see what happens!

TerryTheGreenHorse · 26/03/2015 16:04

I've always found the cheapies good but this latest batch I have gave a few with shadowy lines.

I knew really that they should have been pinker but it didn't stop me staring at them under various lights! Grin

epskie · 26/03/2015 15:51

Hi Browneyed when will you be testing?

epskie · 26/03/2015 15:48

Busted spring! I knew it! Just kidding, it's hard to wait. I have a superdrug own brand left from last time and a clearblue digital that one of the ladies on here sent me when she got her bfp. I'm desperately trying to not buy any more. Since I'm bedbound right now, I've been successful so far - go me!

wine you're not out yet! How many dpo are you? I agree re internet cheapies - they were most sensitive when I was looking for my post mc bfn. I was surprised to find out that the digital/early response ones are less sensitive than others! Shock

browneyedgirl86 · 26/03/2015 15:42

Hi Ladies? Any room for another obsessive symptom spotter?

I'm usually a lurker on this board, ttc #1 since November. AF is due on the 30th but my cycle can be a tiny bit irregular!

wineandpopcorn · 26/03/2015 14:17

Bfn today Sad. But still got 5 days till AF is due so still a chance!

I use the internet cheapies, I have read good reviews on them!

Springflower3 · 26/03/2015 13:46

Types sorry I mean you

Springflower3 · 26/03/2015 13:41

I couldn't imagine it would be harmful?? Before finding out I was preg with my DD I was full drunk the previous week!! Psml!

I bought the first response 6 day earlier testing....... Because I'm not goin to test early or anything!!! Which do I get??

epskie · 26/03/2015 13:19

Which type of tests did you buy? Just out of interest Blush not that I'm trying to find out if you intend to test early!!

epskie · 26/03/2015 13:17

woolly I guess no symptoms does make no symptom spotting easier! Wink I feel I'm creating mine though!

I don't know spring I really want to wait but I'm already driving myself crazy. Mind, I'm sick with flu in bed so I've not got much to take my mind off it. I hope I'm ok taking regular paracetamol and brufen during the tww??

Springflower3 · 26/03/2015 13:12

I really want to hold off!!!! But I can't say I will! I will admit I bout tests yest but I've put then away!!! Will u wait??
