Completely understand testing early am having to stop myself but the earliest I can test is Saturday so I'm (trying to!) Hold on till then. Definitely feeling strange though with twinges and feeling sick and dizzy. May just be wishful thinking though. Luck to all x x x

bluebell17 · 21/12/2016 10:37

Morning all. Well, I've not tested this morning and I'm still spotting. Well I'd say it's heavier than spotting but as yet AF hasn't arrived in full force. I'll see how today goes and possible test with a FRER tomorrow if nothing changes again. Fx to all in tww!

powerpuffer · 21/12/2016 10:31

ohb0llocks Slightly early but I understand why you did it. I test from 8dpo with FRER but my bank balance can't allow me to do that for too long! I have an 11/12 day luteal phase so for me thats only a few days before my period. Or so I tell myself to justify my addiction!

Only a few more days and you'll likely know around Christmas!

Ohb0llocks · 21/12/2016 10:08

I may or may not have just tried testing... on 6dpo Blush

Hippychic79 · 21/12/2016 09:43

Blues - thank you. It's so important to stay positive... I know it's hard but we can't let af get us down! FlowersFlowersFlowers

Minime - FlowersFlowersFlowers

Power - fx for you. My oh works so much we only ever get dtd once or twice in my fertile window... and he's not even poorly ... i understand your frustration xxxxx

Bertie & tinkerbell - FlowersFlowersFlowers stay positive ladies xxxxxxx

Hells - good luck xxx fingers crossed xxx praying for you xxxxx

Fx to all still waiting xxxxxxxxxx

Mummyme87 · 21/12/2016 09:25

I am 2dpo in the 2ww... this is going to be a longggg two weeks. Thank god I have Christmas in the midst to keep me occupied

Tinkerbell2319 · 21/12/2016 08:13

BBT is dropping so losing hope, it's been a loooooong cycle which has taken it's toll now feeling quite fed up

Hopefully next one will be better, just can't wait for AF to arrive and get it over with now so gonna go off and have a sulk then probably shuffle over to the January bus when I'm done feeling sorry for myself

Fx for those still waiting to test, hoping for more BFPs x

HellsBellsK · 21/12/2016 08:08

Morning Ladies,

Sorry for all who got AF! Hopefully you will enjoy the Christmas Wine
I was due AF yesterday and nothing. Starting to get a heavy feeling in my lower abdomen this morning so thats usually a sign she is coming. Since Iv got up think iv been to the loo 10 times!
If AF doesn't arrive I will take a test in the morning I think. I am terrified to test in a way. Just don't want to see BFN.

Good luck to everyone else in the 2ww xx

minime2016 · 21/12/2016 07:55

Bertie think I'll be seeing you on the next bus too. Af not here but spotting this morning. Had this 2 cycles ago (it's not my normal pre af pattern) so think I'm likely out Sadthinking positively and of the prosecco I can have at the weekend Xmas Wink onto another cycle

BertieBotts · 20/12/2016 22:59

Defo out, AF arrived full force.

Have opened the Wine :)

See you on the next bus.

Mummyme87 · 20/12/2016 20:59

I hear you powerpuffer. My first night of flashing smiley face on OPK OH didn't shower after cycling so we were not dtd at all. I ovulated yesterday and we dtd 4nights pre ovulation and last night. I feel we should again tonight but I have had a splitting headache all night and can't face it again 😒

powerpuffer · 20/12/2016 20:27

Sorry to all those getting AF. It seems like she's been far too busy for my liking recently.

I'm ovulating today according to OPK and my husband has just come home and crawled into bed with a full on fever, shivering and popping paracetamol, which is most unlike him. We've DTD the past 4 nights so I'm not too worried but ideally I wanted another go today and tomorrow, which now won't happen. He looks so poorly and I'm still not 100% from having flu two weeks ago so I guess my energy is needed looking after him and hoping he's better for Christmas. But between us, I'm annoyed at the timing, although I know it's not his fault!

minime2016 · 20/12/2016 18:43

Crampy all day and an upset tummy this evening. Feels like af is on her way but it's waaaaaay too early. Not due til Sunday. Bfn this morning and feeling this way makes me suspect I'll be hopping onto the Jan bus soon Sad

bluesdetoi · 20/12/2016 18:29

Lovely attitude Hippy, its so important to remember all the things we should be grateful for in life and to enjoy the season.

I'm having really terrible stomach cramps all day, it's like the worst AF ever. Hope this crap passes soon.

Bluebell ,I'm really sorry. I hope everything is alright. Maybe you can schedule an appointment with your gyn, it might give you some peace of mind. Hugs xx

Hippychic79 · 20/12/2016 17:49

We will get there bluebell I'm sure. You're not alone xxxxxxxxxx

bluebell17 · 20/12/2016 17:11

Thanks hippy. Smile

Hippychic79 · 20/12/2016 16:45

Thanks Flamin. Dont get me wrong I cried hard when I got those bfn results a few days ago, I cried so much it felt like my head was going to explode seriously! But I've been sad for a long time in the wrong relationship with a guy I knew I couldn't have a baby with because I didn't love him .... I was very sad and on my own for a good few years ... and being down and depressed did me no good whatsoever... it took a long time for me to turn my negative outlook into a positive one ... I know a month seems like ages when your tTC .... but isn't in the grand scheme of things .... we will do this ladies .... I'm sure.
Flowers for you bluebell xxxxxxx

bluebell17 · 20/12/2016 16:31

Confused now I'm spotting. Hoping this doesn't turn into full AF but I've got cramps like AF usually brings so lost all faith. I had my hopes up with those tests that seemed like faint positives. Should've been more cautious and not got my hopes up!

FlaminFlamingo99 · 20/12/2016 16:23

Congratulations bluesdetoi!!

Love the positive vibes Hippychic amazing considering you have AF to stay!!! By that point in my cycle I'm usually a raging ball of hormones!!! Grin

MissMagpie · 20/12/2016 15:54

That looks great blues. Yay!

Good PMA ladies. It is too easy to get down and feel desperate when you don't get that BFP. It was on my 12th cycle that I got pregnant with my DS so the fact this is my 6th cycle for ttc #2 means I should try and relax as I know it will happen eventually. Same for all you lovely ladies too. It's a marathon not a sprint for some of us.

Hope everyone in the 2ww is coping and do gers crossed for you all! I am def not testing yet. Only 7dpo I think.

Lovechild2016 · 20/12/2016 15:42

So sorry for AF all those who the witch has got. Loving the PMA, make sure you thoroughly indulge in all xmas goodness and im keeping everything crossed for a lucky January bus. blues lovely stronger line today so pleased for you. All those still awaiting AF and getting BFNs, I'm with you, remember we aren't out until the witch arrives. intelligent and itsjustaphase the CB digital I think need higher HCG level so might be worth a cheapie but the sensible thing to do is wait s few more days (advice I 100% know I will personally ignore!) Halo

IntelligentPutty · 20/12/2016 14:43

Bye. Think I'll be seeing u soon. Next month is a new month.

2ducks2ducklings · 20/12/2016 13:44

Urgh! The witch is well and truly on her way so over to the January bus I go!
Good luck ladies and have a wonderful christmas x

IntelligentPutty · 20/12/2016 12:54

Just tested with cb digital.
NOt Pregnant it says.
Sad
Will wait until at least Saturday to test again but I think unlikely.
Fx for u all.
And loving the positivity.

janiPop · 20/12/2016 12:44

Yay more BFPs!! Congratulations ok, ash and blues!

I'm now in the 2ww either 1 or 2 dpo. Not entirely sure as I only issue opk and not taking bbt. Fx it's my month! X
