2dpo & staring down another abyss of symptom analysing, early test resisting, date calculating, FW debriefing crazy brain.

Anyone care to ride it out together? Welcome spotters and distractors alike x

Hi, I'm new here but have been ttc for approx 4 months but with long cycles (37-40days) so feels like forever. This month I missed tracking ovulation somehow. Had a break from temping and doing opks and started 5 days before fertile window. I suspected symptoms earlier like cm but thought nothing of them until after. No sign on opks and I did them for a week. I've had possible symptoms since but find they are so similar to af symptoms.

I'm so confused and I'm kicking myself for not testing all month as I don't know if I ovulated or not. I had a temp shift between cd 17-19 (early for me) so suspected ovulation then looking back. But this would make me a minimum of 15 dpo and I got a bfn this morning!

Any advice would be much appreciated as it's driving me mad!

gemsparkle84 FX for you!

starwishing just eat it yourself haha! Rain is horrible this morning. I had an early morning meeting at work so treated myself to a proper fancy breakfast beforehand haha, I feel as though I need it on such a crap looking day! Plus its Friday (usually get a Maccy's brekkie on Fridays anyway!)

EnglishIrishRose yeah I made that mistake too... Dad and my sisters are the worst for it, especially as my sister had no issue conceiving #2 (11 months between her kids). Then on the other hand my mum and MiL are bothering having a go at us for considering another baby already (DS is coming up 11 months so not that crazy I don't think!)

EnglishIrishRose · 13/04/2018 09:39

PassTheAfterEights that's too funny... I also regularly mock myself for even wanting to have a baby as I always said 'nah, not me, labour is horrible' etc etc. Then I started working with small children and the broodiness got too strong!

I've been really open about ttc and kinda regret it because my mum asks me 'are you pregnant yet?' every time she sees me.

starwishing · 13/04/2018 09:29

Morning ladies! What is everyone doing this Friday 13th? The food bank has just turned me away with a bag of chocolate because they have no use for Easter eggs! Plus it's raining! Plus I have a child saying why constantly and a DH in a mystery bad mood! I might go back to bed till tomorrow 😆

peachesarenom · 13/04/2018 09:19

PassTheAfterEights you're not out till AF, remember you could have implanted later than last time x

gemsparkle84 · 13/04/2018 08:55

@PassTheAfterEights brilliant 🤣

I'm still hanging on. AF due tomorrow.

Good luck everyone xx

TwittleBee · 13/04/2018 08:44

Ah thanks @TwittleBee @italianwifey @clairehr @Sammy900 you're right I know x just to see that second line again 😫 I dipped instead of POAS this morning, got it into my head it would make a difference 🙈

The three minute wait is such a rollercoaster. I go from "omg I can't actually have a baby though" to "didn't want to give birth anyway" to "we will adopt" to "at least I can have a drink at my bro's birthday, do bloody love wine" to "how hard is nine months though" to "I'd surely manage to deliver a baby one way or another" to "fucking fucking fucking white fucking screen of doom we managed this once already and there's no doubt tadpole and oeuf are meeting each month so what the fuck is wrong with you both, get your shit together and start dividing, how hard is it" [flings test to the side and returns to bury head under pillow occasionally savages DH for good measure]

Good luck to all still hanging in there 😘

I think it's too early yet PassTheAfterEights! Look forward to more POAS!

TwittleBee · 13/04/2018 08:17

clairehr totally agree there. I'll be 7dpo tomorrow and that's when I got a BFP last time round. The urge to test is ridiculous

clairehr · 13/04/2018 08:13

@PasstheAfterEights Same boat! It's so rubbish getting a BfuckingN, especially when you've had a positive at the same point in another cycle. It's still early days, let's keep fingers crossed 😊

TwittleBee · 13/04/2018 08:02

You are still really early Lovely! Are you sure when you ovulated? And implantation doesn't always happen till around 10-12dpo if it's on the late side. They do say every pregnancy is different so FX PassTheAfterEights

Sammy900 · 13/04/2018 07:55

@passtheaftereights

well not officially out till the witch shows but it's still :( getting a BFN

JustLikeTheySaid · 13/04/2018 07:55

Meeeee. I'm in. Although I also think I'm probably out! Don't feel pregnant. Due on 21st so I have a little while to go.

italianwifey · 13/04/2018 07:50

It's still early @PassTheAfterEights don't lose hope just yet :-)

Ahh thank you @peachesarenom and @Sammy900 ☺️ no good news here I'm afraid - bit of twingeing and fullness and now quite bad back ache but 10dpo BFN, had a faint but definite line on 10dpo in Jan so expect I'm out this month ☹️ will FRER again tomorrow JIC.

In bed in lots of pain, assuming AF will show by morning. DP out, so going to try and get some sleep.

starsandstuff · 12/04/2018 22:34

Thanks x

starwishing · 12/04/2018 22:32

@starsandstuff first response early response test. You can do it 6 days early xx

starsandstuff · 12/04/2018 22:27

Sorry for the stupid question but what does FRER stand for? I get it's a pg test but not sure what the different types are?
