anyone else in the 2ww but absolutely not symptom spotting this time?

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?!

Can I join!!! I'm starting my 2ww today, dtd on Wednesday 18th March and Saturday 21st March got +ve on Saturday on cbfm , AF is due on Sunday 4th April.This is cycle 3 off levest pill.
This is the first month we've been able to dtd around O due to DP feeling it was too pressured.
Trying to not get hopes up but really want it to happen.
Trying to use reverse psychology by thinking if we get caught this month we'll have a December baby and don't want that. Of course I really do want it.

How does everyone else keep busy in the 2ww?

Proudmummy2456 · 23/03/2015 13:56

fuzzywuzzy · 23/03/2015 09:45

Maybe wait till Wednesday and retake the test. It's looking optimistic tho...

Remember with my first DC I went cross eyed trying to tell if there was a line or not it was so faint.
Then the morning/afternoon/evening/all night sickness hit and yeah confirmed I was totally upduffed

The first one does look positive, but the time lapse confuses things. How long did you wait before putting it in the bin, did you leave enough time for a result to appear? The opk looks positive, you need more tests!!

Proudmummy2456 · 22/03/2015 23:27

Need your advice posted on another thread it not a lot of traffic, took a PG test this morning and it looked negative, took it out the bin a few hours later and found this
So I took a OPK test because I had no PG test left and found a faint line?

(((gackay))) hope you are ok xxx

Im totally NOT spotting that my boobs are still tingling/fizzing/burning even after a week (they only usually feel like this but for about 2 days just before AF which is due in 6 days)

I also HAVENT noticed that when i was chopping up a piece of raw pigs kidney for one of the lizards that i could have sworn it smelled like fresh...erm....man juice, and my stomach heaved and turned over......usually it doesnt bother me in the slightest! (cutting up raw kidney i mean!!)

and im not interested in any way shape or form that I want to sleep ALL the time....i had a lie in till 11 this morning....then needed a nap at 4.00 for an hour and a half, and now im gagging to go back to sleep!

nope...TOTES NOT spotting or noticing ANY symptoms at all....piece of Cake really this not symptom spotting....ooohhhhh actually....did someone mention cake?? with gravy and grated mushrooms....dont mind if i do......Wink

Jessica2point0 · 21/03/2015 10:48

My cup of tea this morning made me throw up. Only 10dpo tho, so still too early to test. Probs just a stomach bug anyway.

fuzzywuzzy · 21/03/2015 10:31

gakay hope you're ok.

Hope everyones good this morning.

I have a near sontant stitch on my left side and errr when I go to the loo it's green!!!!

Was on my way to meet my research midwife to get more sticks and hand in my monitor with 3 cycles of data but got sexual harassed on the bus Angry police got involved and end up missing the midwife. Am not happy!!!!

Jessica2point0 · 20/03/2015 17:24

I'm doing pretty well today. Had a crazy metallic taste for the last few days, but got that last cycle too, so I'm not counting it as a symptom! Very nearly POAS this morning, but I'm determined to hold out for at least another few days.

Staying at mums tonight (girly night in) and not taking any tests with me, so that should get me through until at least Sunday.

I have my mantra to help me: average time for a bfp is 13.6 dpo.

Proudmummy2456 · 20/03/2015 16:55

Just got BFN at 8DPO AF due next Wednesday will test again on Tuesday/ Wednesday if AF doesn't arrive before
