Hi guys. Thought I would start a new thread for anyone else in early 2WW for support, symptom spotting and venting :) ... I am currently 3DPO .. AF due 5th August .. Hoping she doesn't come ... TTC baby#2 already have DS who is 4 ... Feeling cramps , have a major headache but as well all know these are very common at this stage due to hormones anyway.

No it's a definite positive. I tested too early further up the thread. Thanks!

Steph7121 · 02/08/2016 22:48

Sorry Finova being a bit thick, am I meant to be seeing a cross or just one line in the test window? If just one line then massive congratulations!!

finova · 02/08/2016 18:38

Can you see a line?!!!

Early on in 2WW
Steph7121 · 01/08/2016 22:34

Ha no I'm the same I'm definitely in the drink till its pink category although I do try my best to minimise it slightly in the 2ww!

Pyjamas81 · 01/08/2016 22:15

Exactly! I haven't changed my behaviour that much in 2ww (9 months will be long enough ha ha). But if it's a BFN, I can have a bit of a guilt free blow out!

Steph7121 · 01/08/2016 22:10

Ah good thinking! You can at least do something to commiserate then if its not good news (I find wine and eating a lot of soft cheese and anything else pregnant people aren't allowed helps!)

Pyjamas81 · 01/08/2016 21:34

I'm going to wait until Saturday - whatever the result, I'd prefer to have it on a weekend!

Steph7121 · 01/08/2016 21:28

Ahh not long to go then! Fingers crossed AF doesn't arrive tomo! Will you test then or wait it out till sat? I also ovulated late at cd 22, its a total pain having such long cycles!!

Pyjamas81 · 01/08/2016 18:17

Feeling quite tense over here! AF due tomorrow but according to Ovia, test day is on Saturday if AF hasn't arrived by then (I ovulated on CD20 this cycle). GAH.

Steph7121 · 01/08/2016 17:57

How is everyone doing? Anyone testing soon?

Littlemisssugarplum88 · 30/07/2016 20:14

AF has arrived for me :( Did you have any better luck this month bimbum?! Xx

Bimbum · 29/07/2016 10:18

Will do :) good luck to you too x

Littlemisssugarplum88 · 29/07/2016 10:14

Let me know how you go on this month and I'll do the same! Good luck xx

Bimbum · 29/07/2016 10:02

Littlemiss I feel the same today and really deflated because of it. I will keep fingers crossed for both of us that its not AF x

Littlemisssugarplum88 · 29/07/2016 09:35

I have what feels like period pain this morning :( Im beginning to feel a little bit gutted xx

finova · 29/07/2016 09:11

A word of warning of you buy expensive digital tests from Tesco read the instructions! m.tesco.com/h5/groceries/r/www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=267140177&sc_cmp=ppcshmshbgpx_%7C_shopping_gsc_%7C_all_products_+_brand*267140177&gclid=Cj0KEQjw_eu8BRDC-YLHusmTmMEBEiQArW6c-LjTxm-YoRKnUT0Ox84tPDjEIeF7vQhFS-epzxh4RyoaAtNw8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds

You have to put the stick in the holder, wait for a flashing symbol then remove stick and pee on it. Then put it back and hold a certain way!
I opened it and peed on it straight away- £5 down the drain oops!

Steph7121 · 28/07/2016 22:30

Yeah I'll definitely try and do temperature next month if this one doesn't work, I just always forget in the morning! We did BD every day anyway so hopefully it was enough but we'll see! Ive really tried this month, been taking my vitamins and so has my OH (I think), he's not been allowed hot baths and I even did the whole legs in the air thing after which I have no idea if works but worth a try!! My Oh things I've lost the plot...

I am going to try hold off testing until the two week mark because I tested early last month and I just got really depressed seeing negatives, plus spent a small fortune!

Ah still very early Finova , fingers crossed it will change in a few days :) when is everyone else due to test?

As far as I know you are supposed to take the first strong positive as a positive OPK .. With that being said you don't necessarily ovulate on the same day as a positive OPK it can happen 12-36 hours after. So yes charting does help to get more of a idea on exact Ov but as long as you BD around those days there is always a chance! I hope we can get some BFP's in a few days time.. Finova - I know the feeling lol

Thank you archiesmummy. I've had few symptoms recently but it may just have been a tummy bug or something. I guess I'll soon know xx

finova · 28/07/2016 19:55

Think I'm 9dpo or maybe 8!
I've tested already 😳 negative of course!

Pyjamas81 · 28/07/2016 18:52

Sorry - I meant I assume I ovulated on Monday!

Pyjamas81 · 28/07/2016 18:43

Hi Steph! I'm at exactly the same point as you - 3dpo (I think) after super positive OPK on Sunday. Assuming I ovulated on Sunday due to pelvic pangs, but I'm just guessing! When are you testing?

Steph7121 · 28/07/2016 18:33

Hello, can I join?
I think I'm 2-3dpo... Not entirely sure had very positive opk's sun, mon and tues (which I thought was strange?) so don't really know when to count from as didn't do the temperature thing!!
Cycle 4 for me ttc # 2. I know its not a long time but got pg by accident with no 1 so had naively assumed it would happen straight away and just wish it would hurry up!

Anyways fingers crossed for us all this month :)

Oh yes. As it gets closer to those final days before AF is due that's when the temptation kicks in to POAS. Thank you Littlemissssugarplum , you too. You are a bit further ahead in your 2WW so keep us updated on any symptoms and let us know if it's your month! :)

Hi everyone,
I was just reading through your comments and I wanted to send you all some baby dust!!
I am currently 10 DPO and I'm starting to get a little impatient now. Been having stomach cramps for the last few days and AF is due in 3-4 days. The days ahead will probably drag now xx
