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?!

Hi ladies!
fuzzy sorry to hear AF arrived, but yes onwards to the next cycle!
epskie I'm sure you're covered in terms of dtd as solid smiley usually means ovulation will happen within next 24hrs or so. Good luck!
I'm about 11 dpo today and no symptoms which makes avoidance of symptom spotting far easier Grin

epskie · 26/03/2015 12:52

I'm just symptom spotting my arse off! Grin what about you? You still planning to test on Easter Sunday?

Springflower3 · 26/03/2015 12:31

Ha ha very good!!! How are u holding up epskie??

epskie · 26/03/2015 12:28

spring it means baby dancing, same as dtd - doing the deed.

Springflower3 · 26/03/2015 12:09

I am totally new this abbreviation what is BD??

epskie · 26/03/2015 11:34

Thanks fuzzy yes, it does. Just paranoia stepping in again - I got my solid smiley last Wednesday and only managed to BD on Wednesday and Thursday due to teenager sleep overs and illness etc. So I was starting to think I might've missed it if I ov late. Just finding things to worry about Confused

fuzzywuzzy · 26/03/2015 09:31

Thanks everyone, to be honest I've been feeling pretty unwell over the past few days I don't know whether I'm coming or going! At least with the clear blue trial I an POAS to my hearts content (within reason!).

Jessica I know what you mean, I want AF to be over so I can start again too.

Espkie, doesn't a steady smiley mean you have ovulated and should BD?

epskie · 26/03/2015 08:50

Thanks ladies, I've got it. Think this flu is sending me a bit doolally!

I don't want to symptom spot either but the obsession appears to have taken over me :-(

If you get a smiley face on your clearblue opk can you still ov late?

Jessica2point0 · 26/03/2015 08:28

fuzzy, that sucks. I feel a bit better today - just want AF to hurry up and go away so I can get started on dtd!

epskie, miu stands for milli International Units - so only really useful for comparing between tests. Hcg calculator, which tells you when you are likely to get a bfp depending on dpo and implatation date:

This is the page for symptoms by dpo: www.countdowntopregnancy.com/early-pregnancy-symptoms/symptoms-by-day-past-ovulation.php

Pixa · 26/03/2015 07:45

I don't want to symptom spot. I am going to concentrate on dtd just incase I have ovulated later this month. At least EOD action. I can't keep going through the 2ww.

Springflower3 · 26/03/2015 07:39

epskie I didn't sign up or anything? There is a toolbar along the top and it says symptoms i think I just clicked on it and then followed other links??

epskie · 26/03/2015 07:29

Ah fuzzy big hugs and Brew and Cake for you, what a bitch xx

spring and Terry I don't think I'm working that site correctly - I've found it and signed up etc but I can't seem to find the symptom part - any ideas?

Mind, I've been dead felled with a horrible case of flu so any symptoms I do have, I feel I can't trust anyway.

fuzzywuzzy · 26/03/2015 07:21

I'm out, AF showed at around 4am three days late.

Springflower3 · 26/03/2015 06:34

I'm not going to symptom spot! I'm not going to symptom spot! I'm not going to symptom spot.......apart from the extreme tiredness and exhaustion and mild cramps I'm having and bloating lol!!!! I looked up that website terry...... And I could've swore I had all the signs lol!!

FattyFishwife · 26/03/2015 00:47

You know...the TWW is bad enough... But the real killer...that last 2 days before AF is due and you pray silently every time just before you pull you knickers down for a wee/wipe after a wee that 'she' hasn't arrived.....Confused

TerryTheGreenHorse · 25/03/2015 21:33

It's a website, try it in google..

wineandpopcorn · 25/03/2015 21:00

Terry I have searched for that app and can't find it, is it definitely called that?

TerryTheGreenHorse · 25/03/2015 18:11

I'm totally fine all month, the minute I enter 2ww I go bananas.

TerryTheGreenHorse · 25/03/2015 18:09

Have you seen countdown to pregnancy?

You can put your DPO in and it tells you common symptoms and the percentage of actual pregnant people that got a positive test the same DPO.

It's a bad place for obsessive symptom spotters though. Bet I'll be on there again Grin

doomkittycleo · 25/03/2015 18:05

Epskie, I've been having some little twinges a bit like Af pains. Sharp ones near cervix. Hope it's a good sign as she's not due for over a week

epskie · 25/03/2015 17:54

Ah that's disappointing for you :-(

I am absolutely NOT symptom spotting but I feel a tugging behind my belly button - any ideas? Or just something random and moot to obsess over? :-S

TerryTheGreenHorse · 25/03/2015 17:50

I think I burned through a pack of 20 cheapies last month, I had a line on one so was convinced I was pg but it must have been an evap or something.

epskie · 25/03/2015 17:45

Haha - we are all poas addicts!

TerryTheGreenHorse · 25/03/2015 17:11

I'm not entirely sure tbh, must be the amount in your urine.

The cheap ones have mixed reviews but I've found them ok.. The best ones I think are first response..

As you can tell I spend too long weeing on sticks hence trying to behave this month!

epskie · 25/03/2015 17:02

Thanks Terry what does mui mean? Is the general consensus that internet cheapies are the best?
