Hello. Im currently 3-4 DPO (days post ovulation) with AF/BFP (Aunt Flo/Big Fat Positive) due 22-25th Feb! Did plenty baby dancing so fingers crossed and have promised myself not to symptom spot or go Google crazy this time. Ive also swore not to test until 18th Feb ... Do i have anyone in similar place so we can support each other and talk (while avoiding google lol) xx

Ahh so many of us are due on wed-fri! Nature! Why don't you wait it out with teaandbics and me? :) We're going to test on the 24th, unless AF shows up!

appleseedpip · 20/02/2017 14:49

Afternoon ladies,

AJ sorry to hear about the BFN, hope you have a better day today xx

Grumpy Oh god of all the times that you get a heightened sense of smell it happens on the tube! Would have been great if it was in a rose garden! Your symptoms sound very promising! Fingers crossed!

Nicanew I hope it's a late implantation too. xx

Chocoraisin glad you can join us but I'm still waiting out on February's results! Good luck to you for the 5th :)

Oh Pingu & rufus the suspense! :( I really hope you ladies get your hands on some sensitive tests and get a strong BFP. xx

Teaandbics I've got zero signs the last 24 hours Confused and no sign of constipation either. Boooo. I've got a feeling I may be out this month and just waiting for AF now! How are you getting on?

OnNaturesCourse · 20/02/2017 14:48

Should i poas!? AF due wed-friday... Someone tell me to behave and control my hopes!

PingusMistress · 20/02/2017 14:41

rufus I totally sympathise. I'm worrying about a chemical too. I think seeing it in print on a clear blue digi should reassure you a bit though? As squirrel says, that actually means 3-4 weeks pregnant, or 1-2 weeks post ovulation. I have a digi but I'm saving it for the end of the week, assuming AF doesn't arrive first, as it is supposedly less sensitive than the ICs I'm using now. I'm 12DPO so AF due by Thursday I think.

Fingers crossed squirrel!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 20/02/2017 13:17

I feel a bit sick today and have been weeing every hour or more..trying to tell myself I'm imagining it as no point testing yet at 6dpo (it could be 8dpo max)

TheGrumpySquirrel · 20/02/2017 13:15

Rufus I thought with CB digital you were meant to add 2 weeks as it's from implantation? So 1-2 actually means 3-4 from last period?

Rufus200 · 20/02/2017 13:02

pingu my lines haven't been getting stronger either. In fact on most IC's they have been neg but clear blue this morning says 1-2wks. I've been trying to find first response rapid as they apparently are 100mIU and my thinking is that by 4+4 def should be at that level. I want to rule out a chemical and getting very pissed off at the moment. Went to 3 pharmacies this morning, none had any tests higher then 25mIU. DH says he bets no woman has ever had a temper tantrum before that she can't find a crap low sensitive test.

PingusMistress · 20/02/2017 09:34

Hmm, well this morning's test is even more of a squinter than yesterday. I was expecting the line to be stronger so I don't think that bodes well.

Starting to wonder if I have a dodgy batch of ICs so I've just added some branded tests to the online supermarket delivery that will arrive tomorrow. So stressed out about the uncertainty!

PingusMistress · 19/02/2017 20:36

nicnac sorry to hear that, really hope it isn't AF.

grumpy a super sense of smell is definitely a good sign, last time I was pg I could tell what DH had eaten for lunch when he got home from work! But then again, some people on the tube are really smelly...

Glad you can all see a line, I showed it to DH and he can too but will just have to wait and poas again tomorrow. I might not sleep too well tonight!

I'm a bit jealous of all the red wine and fancy cheese going on though. Envy Grin

chocoraisin · 19/02/2017 20:29

Jumping in. Must not POAS until March 5. Blatantly will try to by March 2. Anyone up for keeping me company while I try not to obsess?

teaandbics · 19/02/2017 20:14

Hi all,

apple, I'm loving the mutual guilt fest, each of us worrying about disappointing the other while climbing the walls. Who says the 2ww doesn't make you crazy? Grin You are keeping me on track but I've got to be honest, I am struggling! Trying to remember that I've never got a positive before 14dpo. And your peeing on a fiver comment (so true!). No constipation here either lol.

Hi pass! Obsessive behaviour? I have no idea what you're talking about Blush. And yep also 10dpo today. Time. Is. Dragging. Also happy to have you ladies here to make this bearable.

nature no AF so there's still hope!

Hi grumpy! I have everything crossed! Those are promising symptoms!

AJ sounds like a rubbish day. So sorry x

Good luck nicnac. Hope it is late implantation x

nicnacnew · 19/02/2017 19:46

nicnacnew · 19/02/2017 19:44

Think I'm out for this month unless this turns out to be late implantation or something. Guessing faint bfps maybe mean chemical. Week see if things get heavier of not week retest in a couple of days.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 19/02/2017 18:32

Thanks! I'll keep you posted...

OnNaturesCourse · 19/02/2017 18:30

Aw AJ im so sorry!

AJE84 · 19/02/2017 18:28

Evening all! I POAS and got a BFN - not technically due until 24th but have quite irregular cycles. I had spotting the last few days which is my usual pre-period sign & felt really nauseous yesterday so got my hopes up! Had a pretty stressful day with family being shit so I POAS and decided to open the red 🍷 to make the day more bearable. Ah well - next month hopefully! X

OnNaturesCourse · 19/02/2017 18:25

Welcome grumpy! I think most of us are nearing the end of our 2WW but id love to hear how you get on! Ive read your more prone to thrush when PG so fingers crossed!! ^baby dust to you

OP posts:
TheGrumpySquirrel · 19/02/2017 18:24

Also I am on the tube right now and I can smell people. Maybe they are just very smelly ? Confused

OnNaturesCourse · 19/02/2017 18:23

AF is due between 22 & 25 so maximum of 6 days to wait! Im 12 dpo so im telling myself there is no point in poas and i just need to be patient!! My last stick gave me a BFN and that was at about 8DPO. GP says there is little hope (ive been unwell/run down/stressed) but i still want to poas 😂🙈

OP posts:
TheGrumpySquirrel · 19/02/2017 18:22

5dpo and going insane.. 5 more days (at least)...! Low heavy feeling in pelvis, and slightly sore boobs, also have thrush, which I never get. But possibly also imagining it all.

OnNaturesCourse · 19/02/2017 18:19

apples yes, another thread will be needed!

passmethewine123 · 19/02/2017 16:09

Definitely a very thin line between counterproductive and supportive haha 😂
But I must admit it is nice to have people at the same stage as you 😊 FX for us all!!

appleseedpip · 19/02/2017 15:56

There you are passmethewine! Nice to know you're still here with us Grin. I totally get what you mean about posting and fuelling the obsession. A bunch of addicts sat together could easily be counter productive as well as supportive haha. I and I think even teaandbics are actually 10dpo today too.

passmethewine123 · 19/02/2017 15:43

I'm still here, lurking. I try not to post too much as I feel like it fuels my obsessive behaviour! I'm 10dpo and BFN this morning x

appleseedpip · 19/02/2017 15:18

Pingu I see something!! AHhhhh so annoying about the FRER! If only I had a drone and some double sided tape I'd navigate one over to you! We shall wait in anticipation Grin

Ah nature if not this month hopefully things will be better next xx If I go the same way too I'd love to carry on our 2ww together please :) If you'll have me.. Blush Plus looking forward to all the soft cheeses of the world, sushi, cured meats, rare steaks and lashings of prosecco Grin I'm sure no one else is quite as weird as me but I tend to cut down on the good stuff in the 2ww. God knows why..

Ohhhh bloody hell teaandbics do you know what ultimately stopped me from testing?!! IT WAS YOU!! HAHAHA The thought of letting you down! Honestly this actually entered my mind 'Oh god what would teaandbics think!? I mustn't dissappoint her!' and this was at about 1am!! I'm literally chewing my hand off. Took me double the time to type this out with one hand. Also I've had no constipation yet.. In case you wanted to know that.. lol

Anyone else excruciatingly waiting it out still with us on here?
