Anyone around 3dpo and settling in for the 2ww?

I've just hit the 2ww (according to FF chart) having missed last month as I didn't ovulate in a stupidly long cycle of uselessness!

Super happy to have simply ovulated, but trying to remember that's just a small part of the battle in getting upduffed.

Anyone else at the beginning of their wait and want to hand-hold compare symptoms?

I stocked up on tests the AF arrived! Typical. Last two cycles have been 26 & 27 days rather than 22-23. I've been taking Inofolic so may be it's helping.

Sorry your feeling rough purple Coldy type things are rubbish when you can't take anything. I had insomnia in early pregnancy that was exactly like yours - wide awake in the middle of the night and not being able to lie in. I think it was a mixture of hormones and excitement. Only lasted a few weeks thankfully.

FC for you Raluca

Af due on Thursday

Hi Super, the Superdrug tests are good and often on offer. You can often get them buy 1 get 1 half price and there's 2 in a pack.

I took another test this morning and was pleased to see that the line was much darker than the one I took on Friday, I've added a picture Smile.

I'm off work today, think I might have a chest infection now! I've been really poorly for the last week or so and have no idea which symptoms are due to being ill and which are due to being pregnant. For example last night I woke up at 3am completely wide awake and had to read for a bit, I also woke earlier than my alarm yesterday (about 7ish) and the day before! I'm not sure if I've coughed myself awake or have some kind of weird pregnancy insomnia Confused.

Thanks purple I think cheapies are way forward. I'll go to super drug today and get some. All sounds very positive with the bloating a strange feelings! I was in maternity clothes by 8 weeks with DS. Love an elasticated waist Grin

Still no AF here. I'm two days late now but had a bfn again this morning.

How's everyone doing?

purplecat27 · 21/06/2015 22:52

FC for you Raluca! Super I buy cheap Home Bargains tests 89p for 2, but you can get them even cheaper on Ebay or Amazon!

I told OH yesterday morning, I did a Clearblue digital and it came up positive 1-2 weeks so I showed him that, he was really pleased Grin. I've been getting all sorts of weird feelings in my lower abdomen and am just hoping that they're either good or unrelated. I'm also super bloated and feel like I look about 20 weeks already!

Hi Super. My clye can be 45 days plus, or a lot less, this one would have been about 30 days. Have gone a whole year before when younger so really unpredictable.

The fathers say card worked, it was funny seeing OH's face Smile

Fingers crossed for you. Still so early!

That's good lara what a nice Father's Day present!

Superworm · 21/06/2015 11:10

That sounds promising Smile How long are your cycles usually?

II'm 10 or 11 dpo. Af was due Thursday/Friday. My cycles are short these days 21-24 usually. I do have the occasional 26 day cycle thrown in though.

Poas yesterday as we were out in the evening drinking. Got what I think is an evap line followed by two bfn. Going to try and resist the urge to test again as it's an expensive habit! Spend about 30 quid already and it's only month one Blush

All good here. Faint pos again today at 12dpo. Fingers crossed it darkens quickly!

Fingers crossed for you all to get bfp's!

RalucaMorena · 21/06/2015 09:54

Personally I am happy with no af. 6dpo here and not cramping that much. Temp has gone up a bit. Fc!

Superworm · 21/06/2015 08:48

No AF here either and no symptoms of anything.

How is everyone today?

RalucaMorena · 20/06/2015 21:37

No af as yet! Fc!

Rose58 · 20/06/2015 10:53

Ahh keep hope Raluca. I've felt pre AF for at least a week. Bloated etc.

I do however know how you feel, I've spent the last 10 days convincing myself of all the reasons I couldn't be/ wasn't pregnant. Now I'm scaring myself with stats.

Keep your head up, what will be will be now, and you still have as much a chance as ever.

RalucaMorena · 20/06/2015 08:31

Congrats both!

I am 5dpo and it seems af will show her face. :( Too soon!

LaraNotCroft22 · 20/06/2015 07:37

Just took a morning test and had mild panic when line took what felt like forever to appear.

Looks the same as last nights, hope it darkens quickly! Too nervous.

purplecat27 · 20/06/2015 00:49

Thanks all Grin.

I would say I'm feeling excited and terrified in fairly equal measure. I'm just hoping so hard that I've got a little sticker Smile.

Yay! Congrats Purple and Lara - how are you feeling???

Welshcake77 · 19/06/2015 19:09

Omg! This is fantastic purple and Lara! Congratulations to you both! So exciting x

Superworm · 19/06/2015 19:05

Ooh congratulations both of you!!

How very lovely Smile

purplecat27 · 19/06/2015 19:05

Oh it worked! On the top is the cheapie test and on the bottom is my (equally cheapie) OPK.

My fingers are crossed so hard for all of us that I think I'm going to need to have them surgically uncrossed!

purplecat27 · 19/06/2015 19:02

I'm trying to get a pic up...

Sounds like a plan! let me know how it goes.

Huge fingers crossed for sticky beans for both of us and more bfp's on this thread :-)

purplecat27 · 19/06/2015 18:51

I do have a pic but it's not very good, it looked darker in real life. Also I haven't got the foggiest how you get a pic up on here off my phone!

I'm going to tell him tomorrow I think. As long as I get a positive test to show him in the morning! I'm thinking a Clearblue digital might not even be positive yet but I've got a 2-pack so I'll give it a go.
