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 know how you feel - my OH is at work so I can't tell him either. I think I'm going to get him his father's day card and put it in there! (I will have to do his card tomorrow as no way waiting for Sunday :-))

Do you have a pic? Is it like mine?

I'm glad I had a spare pack of superdrug tests lurking in a drawer now!

Oh god, now I'm going to be poas every day hoping it gets darker!

I don't know what to do about telling OH, might so a Superdrug and a Clearblue digital in the morning, and then tell him then if positive, as we're off to a wedding tomorrow and I won't be touching a drop of booze now!

purplecat27 · 19/06/2015 18:41

I know, aaaah!

purplecat27 · 19/06/2015 18:40

Yes! See my message above your one with the pics! I'm freaking out!

Oh god. Just did a test at 10dpo and got this (cheapy then a superdrug)

Can you see lines or am I driving myself crazy?!! Totally convinced myself today not pregnant and now... well I don't know.

Guys I'm freaking out! Just got home from work and did an OPK (I do them everyday just so I can fill it in on FF) and it was positive so I thought hmm... I wonder...

POAS (cheap 89p for 2 Home Bargains) and it's a definite line! Faint but undoubtedly not-even-a-squinter line! At 9dpo! I now feel sick with myself for POAS so early when I know all the statistics about very early pregnancy stuff.

Please hold my hand and tell me everything is going to be OK!

GoodbyeToAllOfThat · 19/06/2015 15:36

Coil out in Sept, so casual about BC since then. My husband has only recently persuaded me to try in earnest, so this is the very first month that I've tracked anything or used an OPK, for example. I got my first positive OPK reading this morning!

I'm 42 so it's kind of late in the day, but I have 2 kids and am fine if it doesn't work out.

I am unaccustomed to having sex 3 days in a row and feel on the verge of a UTI, and have 3 more days to go. Yikes.

RalucaMorena · 18/06/2015 15:54

3dpo here. Didn't notice anything strange. Dh having lots of rest for next month of ttc. Just Hoping my lp stays in normal parameters.

A few months now Goodbye. I have pcos though so my cycles are crazy all over the place and last cycle I didn't even ovulate! So frustrating. How about you?

OP posts:
GoodbyeToAllOfThat · 18/06/2015 15:16

Or, TTC even.

GoodbyeToAllOfThat · 18/06/2015 15:16

How long have you been TCC Lara?

LaraNotCroft22 · 18/06/2015 14:27

Ha it's mad isn't it?!

I poas at 8dpo but only because in my head I was like 'if it's negative its wayyy too early so that's ok' poas tomorrow is scarier as I think a neg is more likely and I'll get disheartened.

I'm clinging to every sign haha. Feel super bloated so if not preg going on a health kick!

Plus keep convincing myself my boobs ache. Not actually sure now if they do or it's from the continual poking! ????

Snap Lara...I'm trying to talk myself out of POAS tomorrow morning at 10dpo!

I woke up in the night needing to go to the toilet which never happens and have been loads today already...other than that nothing seems different, no cramping or spotting...it's going to be a long few days!

GoodbyeToAllOfThat · 18/06/2015 10:58

That is tantalisingly close, Lara. I am 2 days or so pre-ovulation. Will you POAS tomorrow?

LaraNotCroft22 · 18/06/2015 10:33

How is everyone getting on today?

Im now 9dpo and talking myself out if having a positive. Hmm

Why do I do this to myself haha?!

purplecat27 · 17/06/2015 13:51

I never plan to POAS... it just kinda happens Blush.

RalucaMorena · 17/06/2015 11:34

I don't plan to poas either. But the closer I get to af day the more impatient I become so you never know. Hope getting busy helps easing my mind.

Superworm · 16/06/2015 19:14

Sorry about your mc. I have a short LP and tend to ovulate on day 15/16 of a 24 day cycle. I think it's quite common and wasn't a problem when conceiving DS. Would be worth discussing with the GP for reassurance if your worried.

AF due in four days. Not feeling remotely different and had no symptoms at all. Won't poas but just wait for AF to arrive I think.

RalucaMorena · 16/06/2015 13:37

Hi all! Thanks for your encouragement! I'll go to the gp after next af. If it was just for a month she would probably say is ok, but if I can show her 2 months of charting s she may consider blood tests easier. I'm due on 24th so not long now. Had a temp spike today so that puts ov on day 18 and that again is borderline. Nearly 37 here so just hope I didn't wait too much for dc2

Welshcake77 · 16/06/2015 11:15

I would just drink purple Blush but in moderation. We are having a BBQ party this weekend and I have the same issue. I've decided I'll have a glass of bubbles and just sip...you'll have to mingle lots so people don't notice Grin

purplecat27 · 16/06/2015 10:22

I've just tweaked my temps from when I was on nights to below coverline and FF now reckons I ov'd on cd18, which puts me at 6dpo today. I'm off to a wedding at the weekend which I expect will be rife with bubbly temptation! I'll only be 10 or 11dpo though so a little early to be POAS. My friends will be expecting me to drink so I don't know whether to just drive and offer myself as a taxi service, or whether to run an elaborate charade with OH involving drink switching and illusion Smile.

Sorry to hear about your MC Raluca. I second what the others say about a Gp visit. I certainly can't do any harm.

7dpo here though FF keeps changing my ov day back and forth! Scared to poas at a point where a neg might mean something if that makes sense?!
