I'm in the 6dpo in the 2ww and obsessively googling symptoms! Anyone in the same boat?

I'm now officially late. However the pound shop cheapy dip I just used says no joy. My boobs are boiling hot!

happybus28 · 27/04/2017 07:14

Oops that was meant to be haven't tested this morning!

happybus28 · 27/04/2017 07:13

I have tested this morning leannie AF due today so I'm just gonna see what happens. If no sign of AF by tomorrow morning I'll test then with a good test rather than a cheap strip! Woke up really hungry again this morning, a few cramps but no spotting. Trying not to get my hopes up.

I couldn't see anyth9bg happy, but my phone wounds let me zoom properly. What did this morning's say?
1000jobs I'm sure 14dpo has got to be long enough. That count down to pregnancy site give stats on percentage of false negatives.
What did you do last night smurf?
I'm a bfn today, 13dpo. Officially 2 days late going by my old cycle, or not due for 2 days a cording to the last one

Yeah I'm just clutching at straws I think! Gonna see what tomorrow brings!

1000jobstodo · 26/04/2017 21:05

Thanks happybus I ovulated on 17th April, so I guess 14dpo would be 1st May. I wouldn't be due af until the 4th ish. Yes I can see why I'd need to wait. God it's especially hard waiting that additional time! I'm just not buying any tests so I can't use them.
In terms of your tests I thought after the window you could get evap lines and therefore they weren't reliable? Could you test again tomorrow? Fx for you!

Smurf123 · 26/04/2017 21:00

happy I'm hopeless at reading those type of tests.. Plus it can be hard to capture it in photos but fingers crossed for you :-)

Smurf123 · 26/04/2017 20:59

Can someone please tell me there is no point doing a test at 9 at night!!!! Id have to walk to the shop to get one and I'm trying to stop myself doing that... Af is due somewhere between Friday and Monday. 25 day cycle would be Friday which is what I had before erpc. But first af after erpc came 28 days later so possible that it isn't due until Monday..

happybus28 · 26/04/2017 20:14

Right I just had another look at my test from this morning and not sure if I see the faintest of lines? Anyone else see anything? I've just been reading now unreliable these cheap tests are and am getting my hopes up which I know is ridiculous!

I think despite the temptation it's probably best to test when your period would be due or, even better, the day after.

Although you can test before, and God knows I did this week, it's not always helpful because depending on the date of implantation the hormone levels may not be high enough to test positive before your period is due. There's also the risk of detecting a chemical pregnancy which you otherwise wouldn't know about, which might be upsetting.

That said, I've given in and tested early this week. It didn't do me any good: the bfns discouraged me and didn't yield any concrete answers because all they told me was that the hcg level wasn't high enough with days to go. I won't test again until Friday or Saturday.

happybus28 · 26/04/2017 20:10

Do you know what CD you ovulated 100jobs it's usually 14 days after ovulation.

1000jobstodo · 26/04/2017 19:32

Just to confirm as last time I didn't exactly get a chance to 'try', if you have a longer cycle, can you still test on 14dpo, or wait longer until your period usually comes? My cycles are 33 ish days long, so I was going to test at 14dpo but now thinking I need to wait longer? Can you tell I've got testing on the brain? Grin

happybus28 · 26/04/2017 19:18

Good sign bingle No sign of AF yet, due tomorrow. Had cramps on and off day but no spotting which is unusual for the day before AF. Tested this morning but BFN again. Only been using the cheap internet ones so far though, saving my good ones for if AF doesn't show. Gonna wait until Friday morning then test again if no AF. How's everyone else getting on?

Binglesplodge · 26/04/2017 18:24

I've just advanced-search stalked myself from 2014 when I was pregnant with my ds as I've totally forgotten what I felt like first time round. Sounds very similar: period pain but no period, no obvious pregnancy symptoms. I'm feeling a bit more optimistic!

Positive tests would mean Christmas babies made from Easter eggs... ;-)

1000jobstodo · 26/04/2017 14:37

Love the term 'pantwatching' bingle Grin the only weird thing I've had today was after going down a soft play slide (I know how to have fun Confused) I felt like I would be physically sick. Needless to sat when dd asked to do it again I said I needed to sit that one out! But apart from that I don't feel much anymore.. I'm now 9dpo so still too early to tell. I hadn't realised that positive tests would hopefully mean Christmas babies!!

hanna87 · 26/04/2017 08:33

@youngmummy3105 oh no..fingers and toes crossed for next month xx

Binglesplodge · 26/04/2017 07:58

Sorry. Last post was assisted by my toddler.

It can take until your period is actually late for the hormone levels to rise high enough to be detected. Don't give up!

I have no idea what is happening for me. I had such period pains before bed that I wore a pad overnight. I woke a few times feeling exactly like my period was starting but it hasn't. I don't normally get pain before it starts. It's not due until Friday so I think I'll just be on constant pant watch...

Binglesplodge · 26/04/2017 07:55

Don't give up: I've read that it can take until your period is actually late for the hormone

LeannieRVN · 26/04/2017 07:50

I'll look out for that one then pocket lol
BFN today 12DDPO. surely I'd be seeing a reading by now if I was in luck? Still feeling periody. Next fertile window doesn't have a day off in it and I have to stay away from home as my work is a 1.5hour drive. So it's looking like it might be tricky - but not impossible.
How is everyone else? Smile

Both apps say my period is due today - no sign! Tested negative on a dip test so now to either wait for Flo or test again at the weekend.

Reanie · 25/04/2017 19:03

11dpo and a BFN for me too. I knew I shouldn't have tested!

pocketfullofsunshine · 25/04/2017 18:59

@Leannie haha im not joking. Was a really weird feeling. I googled it and alot of women who are pregnant experienced it. I think my brain took note and just made my body have all the possible symptoms going. 2 days to go until AF is here.. yayyy "/

1000jobstodo · 25/04/2017 18:01

Sorry youngmummy next month may be the month! All my 'symptoms' are vanishing so not holding out much hope. Although I was going to be sick yesterday through nausea I unfortunately get this most months just with normal af. She's a right witch!
