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?!

Perhaps we should all report back on our most effective self-distraction activities!

I'm on day 3 too strawb, testing on the 28th, I think. I've got a massively busy week coming up and a houseguest next weekend, which takes me almost up to af/testing day so I hope I'll be able to refrain from obsessing over imaginary symptoms.

can I join? day 3 of 2ww so bit of wait to go - its so hard! Doom I guess I'm trying to distract by throwing myself into work - not best idea I'm sure as that doesnt help with the whole trying to be relaxed to keep the hormones balanced!

Runningupthathill82 · 19/04/2015 19:51

I'm 12dpo and I am SO sick of this wait. Tested at 10dpo and BFN, haven't tested since.

Brooke113 · 19/04/2015 18:01

I'm still here, currently waiting the arrival of Af, I've had spotting the last couple of days so she'll be arriving anytime. I'm definitely out this month as did a first response on.Friday which was Negative.

Good luck to everybody else in.the tww xxx

dreamingofmynextsleep · 19/04/2015 17:44

I'm 13dpo with a weeks worth of spotting on and off, cramping, peeing like a racehorse, super thirsty and my skin is terrible .. But BFN.
I think I'm out tbh...

I'm finding it hard to think positive. Probably a defence mechanism against disappointment. What are your plans to keep busy and not obsessively symptom spot?

Monkeysocks38 · 19/04/2015 14:27

I'm still here Doom. First day of the tww for me today. I'm not feeling positive about this month. Not sure why, managed to BD the two days before ovulation, I've just not felt good about this month since last AF. Anyway, not feeling positive doesn't stop me drinking the Pom juice, eating spoonfuls of Manuka honey and taking millions of different supplements. I'm not sure how long I can afford to keep trying ttc!

doomkittycleo · 19/04/2015 13:39

Anyone still around? This post has gone very quiet!

Hi Doom good to see you!

Telling myself the same thing, we didn't manage on the day of ov, but the day before and 2 days before that, and 3 days before that too. So hopefully a few of the swimmers were in the right place at the crucial point.

My tww starts again, hey Carrotvan we meet again. Only got to BD once during my fertile week, 2 days before ovulation this month.

Ovulated yesterday according to my app and confirmed as opk was +ve yesterday morning but back at -ve by the evening.

I tried to seduce him one last time last night for good measure, but he was a bit drunk and tired so didn't finish the job ahem!

Just keep telling myself it only takes 1 sperm!

CarrotVan · 16/04/2015 12:41

I'm now in the TWW again and not that hopeful. I will absolutely not be symptom spotting (this is a total lie) this time after being a loon last month

Icklepickle101 · 16/04/2015 12:27

It's lovely to be back!

So, who's due to test this week?

I tested this morning (16dpo) and BFN but no AF, the joys of ttc!

Have had days where I feel really wound up about it all.

Good luck.

Icklepickle101 · 15/04/2015 18:25

Hello newbies!! (Waves)

I didn't test this afternoon as is drunk so much water and was weeing every 30 mins I don't think it would have been any good!!

Tomorrow morning is D day, will be 3 days late and 16dpo!! Haven't tested in about 4 days - new record for me!!

Good luck everyone Smile

Hello all, I'm back and starting another 2ww during which I'm trying to keep sane and busy. day 22 today of my 35 day cycle. Anyone around?

MalibuDaisy · 09/04/2015 14:08

You're welcome. Yes that was my thinking exactly! x

LaraNotCroft22 · 09/04/2015 12:38

That's great Malibu. Thank you.

I'm going to order it if af shows, give myself something to focus on next month!

MalibuDaisy · 09/04/2015 12:05

Lara I ordered this as recommended by another Mumsnetter:

www.amazon.co.uk/Ovulation-Ultra-10mIU-Pregancy-Thermometer/dp/B0049TRXDU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428577401&sr=8-1&keywords=babymad

I wanted the Ov sticks too as my Tesco kit only came with a stingy 10, but you can get just the thermometer on its own for under a fiver x

LaraNotCroft22 · 09/04/2015 11:29

Fingers crossed for you pickle!! I'm 11 or 12 dpo and testing bfn Hmm

Still hoping though until af arrives!

Thinking of temping next month too Malibu, where did you get your thermometer? Amazon?

MalibuDaisy · 09/04/2015 11:12

9 days is still early, so FX for you!

AF is on Day 5 (began late Saturday) though really nothing more than a few spots on a pantyliner for the last couple. What makes me sure it's just a light period is that I had sore boobs all week until it began, then they went back to normal shortly after it began.

Have ordered myself OPKs and a thermometer to give myself something to do this coming month! :)

Icklepickle101 · 09/04/2015 10:31

I got BFN this morning, still only 9dpo so there is still a glimmer of hope!

Felt extremely sick last night and couldn't sleep and then had some very strange dreams so trying to not get my hopes up but hoping bean implanted late!

How many days were you bleeding Malibu?
