I'm just starting the dreaded TWW and could use some company. All the other threads on this seem to have reached the testing stage already.

I am 2-3 dpo and planning to test on 4 March. We have been TTC for about 18 months and are getting fertility treatment. I am pretty sure I ovulated this month though, so I have have high hopes for this cycle.

Well I think I'm only between 3 and 5 dpo so it is a little bit early for me to POAS 😁

stephylou87 · 25/02/2017 12:43

Thanks girls, everything is crossed 🤞🏻 xx

dangle90 · 25/02/2017 12:30

Shoes up 😂 this autocorrect makes me look so dumb! Obviously I mean shows!

dangle90 · 25/02/2017 12:30

Hi clueless 👋🏼!
Your not out til AF shoes up Stephy! Fingers crossed for you xx

Firsttimeandclueless · 25/02/2017 12:29

Thanks ethel Smile

Stephy Ooooh I would wait a bit and test again! If you've just come off the pill, AF can be all over the place. I had one month where AF was ten days late and I spent an unspeakable amount of money POAS. I was so so convinced I was pregnant.

Although, you're not out until AF shows! FX for you!

dangle90 · 25/02/2017 12:27

Well ladies I started feeling left out coz you were all poas! So I did... and surprise surprise BFN 😂😂

sweetandsaltypopcorn · 25/02/2017 11:36

satsooma I have caved. Kind of. I've bought a clear blue early response test but I haven't done it yet...

ethelfleda · 25/02/2017 10:09

Hi clueless 😊
And baby dust to you too!

stephylou87 · 25/02/2017 10:08

Hi everyone. So AF due today but got a BFN this morning and no usual AF symptoms. Do you think a BFP is still possible? Maybe I should give it a few extra days if nothing happens test again? So horrible, waiting the 2 weeks and still waiting. Xx

Firsttimeandclueless · 25/02/2017 09:41

Hey everyone, hope it is not too late to join. I've just finished OV and AF due on 9th Marc, hoping to hold out on POAS until at least March 6th. Trying so so hard not to symptom spot or get excited too early! Dragged DH around H&M yday looking at baby clothes #gotitbad

Morning all
Dangle 50 shades was about as crap as I thought it would be but easy watching and a fun night out with the girls!
Well done satsooma you didn't cave!
My Temps were up again this morning - high enough for fertility friend to guess I ovulated on Monday anyway. Which is what I thought apart from getting a positive OPK Monday evening Confused
Hi vox hope those are good signs for you!!

voxnihili · 25/02/2017 09:01

I'm in the 2ww (for the 18th time). Usual symptoms - very sore boobs. Have had some random cramping and can feel period type pains today - period due on Friday and pains usually start a week before so seems normal for me. The only slightly weird symptom I have is feeling hot. I'm usually a really cold person but sometimes around ovulation and a couple of days before my period I'll wake up really hot in the night. The last few days I've felt really warm at night and during the day - I've even been taking my cardigan off. I know temperature can remain elevated after ovulation if you conceive so it has started me wondering.

satsoooma · 25/02/2017 08:32

I did not POAS this morning. Go me!

Feeling weepy, still got some random pains and feeling kind of bruised in places that are not actually bruised. Meh.

All you ladies are making me want to poas! Haha! Think I'm only roughly about 8dpo though so pointless. How was 50 shades ethel 😂?** I had a dream my OH proposed to me and I only got 3 likes on Facebook about it 😂 random huh!

Andysgirl15 · 25/02/2017 07:11

Can't remember who asked the question about the first response but the ones that are the most sensitive are the ones that have early 6 days sooner written on the box.

5dpo today and YES I tested. Bfn of course but been awake since 6am and I was really bored haha. My OH actually thought you could get a + 3 days after ovulation lol. I had a massive debate with him he's like "Yeah you got a positive with caleb after 3 days" I said " no honey it was 10 and even then the line was really faint". I had to show him the pics on my phone of the test I took that had 10dpo written on the handle. Men really have no clue Grin

stuckinny · 25/02/2017 03:21

Thanks Ethel, maybe I'll take my chances and test next weekend before DS comes back from his dad's. It's a double pack so I can always use the second one a few days later.

ethelfleda · 24/02/2017 23:36

Evening all
I feel the exact same sweet AND I'm getting a coldsore... now don't judge bit I was googleing something called 'early pregnancy factor' it's a chemical given off by the egg as soon as fertilised and it's function is to lower your immune system so your body doesn't see the egg as a foreign invader and attack....
But I promise I'm not symptom spotting Halo
Hi stuck I'm afraid I have no idea. I just get a range of different ones 😃
How was everyone's evening? I've just come back from watching 50 shades 😑

Buddah101 · 24/02/2017 20:20

Oooh good signs sweet don't they say a sign of a cold is implantation happening - I ov'd around the 11th so now nearly 2 weeks on, so far had the dull ache, which has got worse today, and a cold that lasted just a morning.

I will not test, I will not test!

p.s. to make something bold you hold the arrow /alt key and the little star on your keyboard at the start and end of the world you want to bold- On my laptop its the arrow key to the left and star is on number 8 - not sure of that's the same on all though.

sweetandsaltypopcorn · 24/02/2017 20:06

I don't know how to make someone's name bold Hmmbut buddha mine has turned to dull ache all over a bit like period pain and I'm also getting a cold Sad

Buddah101 · 24/02/2017 19:07

I only went away for 1 day and look how far this thread has moved on... Ive got the pains in my left hand side too sweet, no idea what it means though. stomach was crampy before but now its just by my left him.

Due on next tuesday but Will not test until next friday just to be sure hahahahaha who am i kidding, i've got them ready upstairs just waiting for me to give in

stuckinny · 24/02/2017 18:59

How is everyone doing?

I'm almost half way through. Planning on not being home much at the weekend so I'm not tempted.

I have a question about FRERs. I discovered yesterday that first response have a range of tests. Does anyone know if they are all the same sensitivity? I have the rapid response ones (I was on the phone and distracted when buying them) and am wondering if I used them a couple of days before AF might be due (cycles have been 25-34 days) would I get an accurate result

dangle90 · 24/02/2017 18:43

It is hard Becky god knows why!! I'm due Af next sat so let's see how long I can hold out for!

satsoooma · 24/02/2017 16:02

I just want to try and get through this weekend without POAS. After that, I am not too fussed. I might actually have to get up early to go pee, just so as to remove the temptation first thing Blush

Just been reading through everyone's comments.. Quite a few made me laugh.... All eager to take a pregnancy test when we know it's simply far too early! I'm in the same boat.... It is so tempting! But why?!

Beckyb4591 · 24/02/2017 14:33

Thanks.... I'll do a test on March 2nd then.... I hate the wait!
