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

Aaaahhhh flip! Please forgive the similar posts!!!!! I'm not crazy- I posted earlier from the car and couldn't see it at the bottom of the page...so i thought my internet had bummed out and I'd lost my post I'd taken ages on (I live in Norfolk). Now I've just reposted and found my original post on page 3! Duh (face palm).

Congratulations Coffeebuzz! The start if your new chapter.
I caved and tested today, at 9dpo and got bfn. I know it was silly, but I'm 0retty sure I'm out anyway. I'll try again when the witch is due on the 27th is.
Cammysmomma im with you! I'm using Ovia, fertility friend and Glow, and also referring to my old period tracker lol. I used to have regular cycles of 25/26 days but they've increased the last 3 months. The last one was 32, I've no idea why, unless is my age Confused.
I'm using Internet cheapie o sticks which i feel ive just got the hang of this month. Tried bbt but found it tricky with shift work (vet nurse). Fx I've got all angles covered!
Welcome Owltrousers (great name).

Felt nauseous again today. Walked round IKEA and then felt faint like I had to sit down. Lower back hurts quite a lot now. Gonna get my boyfriend to give me a massage tonight! 😜

Oh that's fine oysterI love a clear blue too- nice and simple. Wow that really is fantastic, well done!

Congratulations oysterbabe! Good luck to those waiting to test Flowers

Binglesplodge · 23/04/2017 19:37

Congratulations! What a productive thread! Fingers crossed luck is in the air...

Congratulations oysterbabe Flowers

Oysterbabe · 23/04/2017 19:28

14DPO. I'm afraid there's no line to squint at :)
I felt good about this cycle, like I really pinpointed ovulation and DTD at the right time. Since about 7DPO I've been dizzy, queasy and thirsty with sore boobs and that's just got worse, rather than fading out as AF approaches as normal.

BFP due 29th April......anyone else?
1000jobstodo · 23/04/2017 19:26

Is lower back pain a sign then? I've had that all day but assumed it was because I've been carrying my toddler around..

1000jobstodo · 23/04/2017 19:24

Fantastic news oyster! Congratulations! Do you have any pictures? thats great news- you were 12dpo weren't you?
owl that all sounds very promising doesn't it?! Fx for you all

pocketfullofsunshine · 23/04/2017 19:20

Eeek congrats oyster
Hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months :) xx

Oysterbabe · 23/04/2017 18:50

I tested this afternoon in the end and got my BFP. Good luck to the rest of you Flowers

owltrousers · 23/04/2017 18:47

Congrats coffee!

this is actually my first month using the ovia app, and I didn't use an OPK so I'm not entirely sure if it calculated my ovulation days accurately, but we made sure we did the DTD on all of the high chance days just in case.

Usually I have 32-35 day cycles roughly so AF is not due for another 2 weeks but today I have brown spotting and definite cramps, boobs are sore as anything too.

Its all a waiting game atm!

Coffeecoffeebuzzbuzzbuzz · 23/04/2017 17:58

Not sure how many dpo I am leannie because of how irregular I've been the last few months. I suspect about 11 days (I am CD23 today) but don't think it would have been positive much before that? I hadn't done any opk or anything as it was our first cycle of trying. I'm going to try again on Wednesday and hopefully the line will still be there.

happybus28 · 23/04/2017 14:50

I just caved and tested too leannie 10 dpo and not even fmu so obviously was BFN. Mad at myself for caving now! Sounds promising for you youngmummy FX!!

Cammysmoma · 23/04/2017 10:38

Leannie, yeah the internet OPK's I found were better cause you get so many of them and they are cheap and accurate so you don't feel like you're wasting them if you use loads lol. I tried glow but I didn't like it as much as Ovia but you're right, they are usually a few days out and keeping track of your own cycle yourself tends to work better. X

youngmummy3105 · 23/04/2017 09:58

I'm 10 DPO today, my cycles are around 35 days! Long!! I have a test in the bathroom but boyfriend won't let me test yet as it's too soon.. I am trying for number 2 also. I didn't try for number 1 so I'm new to the whole TWW and Symptom spotting. I have quite bad cramps, mainly on the right hand side of my belly button I was in quite a lot of pain with it yesterday. My boobs feel more sensitive than usual but I am still breastfeeding so I can't measure that accurately. My lower back is starting to ache. My legs have started to go really restless at night which is what happened the first time and I am weeing more often than normal. I use the OVIA app to track my ovulation and periods, this month is the 2nd month of trying and I am not yet tracking BBT or using OPKs. I am estimated to have ovulated on the 13th of April and my period is due on the 26th. Fertile window: 9-14th and I had sex three times during my fertile window which was on the 9th,11th and 14th.

Hope we all get out BFPs soon!Smile xx

LeannieRVN · 23/04/2017 09:56

Eeeeeeek!!!! Congratulations coffee 😀😁
How many dpo are you again?
Good lick for tomorrow oysterbabe, surely 15dpo is going to be accurate, fx!
I caved and tested this morning at 9dpo Happybus. I know it was silly and it's a clear bfn. I'll try again on Tuesday if the Witch hasn't arrived.
That's how I'm tracking, Cammysmomma. I'm using ovia, ff, and glow, in addition to my usual period tracker. So far my old tracker is most accurate! I've git Internet cheap Opk's and I'm got the hang of it nicely this month after a couple of months practice. I highly recommend the method too. I was doing bbt but found it tricky due to shift work.
Welcome Owltrousers, do you know how many dpo you are? I'm a crazy symptom spotter too!!

1000jobstodo · 23/04/2017 09:53

That's great coffee!! Let us know once you've tested again but this sounds really hopeful. A line is a line!

Hi owl! Having irregular cycles makes it even more tricky doesn't it. I never know when af is going to come, and I have to wait 4 extra days than most people Confused so for me it's a 2.5 week wait! Never mind, it'll come soon enough. Good luck to you owl and everyone else. This time next week people will be testing. Fx for those bfp's! So nice to be able to talk to people going through the same Smile

owltrousers · 23/04/2017 09:34

Hello all, first time post here, hope its ok to join in!

Its our first month TTC and naturally I have gone mad symptom spotting.

Similar to 100jobs, I have irregular cycles and due AF on 5th May but I have felt A LOT of cramping going on and now my boobs are V sore, they usually get sore 3-4 days before AF but this is very early! Not sure what to think.

Took a test, just in case - BFN obviously. waiting now!

Cammysmoma · 23/04/2017 09:30

Hey ladies,

Can I suggest something - I fell pregnant with my 1st after 4 years of believing I had two blocked tubes (acc to doctors)

Now I'm pregnant with second, completely planned down to a T. I used the OVIA TTC App and it was amazing, also I ordered a pack of 30 ovulation strips from amazon at £3 odd and I fell pregnant that month, I also checked my CM all the time.

I hope you all get your BFP soon. Good luck ladies

PNGirl · 23/04/2017 09:18

Forgot to say, congrats Coffee.

I really should be having period symptoms by now on a normal cycle but instead I have back pain and vivid dreams.

Oysterbabe · 23/04/2017 09:11

Congratulations Coffee Smile 🤞
There's a few BFPs around the place today. Let's hope the luck holds for my turn tomorrow!

PNGirl · 23/04/2017 09:08

I gave in and tested yesterday with a cheapie stick - nothing. That was cycle day 31 and 10 dpo. I really should wait til Wednesday now!

Coffeecoffeebuzzbuzzbuzz · 23/04/2017 09:04

Thanks Smile I've got breast tenderness and rushing to the toilet lots. My appetite is through the roof too- could just eat and eat! I was exactly the same with my ds (and then the morning sickness kicked in with him.) Is anyone else testing in the next couple of days?
