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

Just started the 2ww. Ttc #1 cycle 16. This is such a long and lonely process! My DH is amazing but I wish I had simeeoyelse to talk to! Feel so bad not telling even my mum but I can’t deal with the questions.

Smiley97 · 12/04/2018 20:36

Evening ladies! So took people’s advice and tried a first response test today - but still bfn 👎 got the doctors anyway tomorow so might ask them about advice as I still haven’t had af since coming off the pill almost 2 months ago! Wishing everyone luck xx

I can't wait to see your line tomoz
PassTheAfterEights!!! I have another frer which I am leaving for Sunday. Will hopefully have a darker line then and I will be able to show it to mum and mil! I hope bean is getting comfy too!

Sammy900 · 12/04/2018 19:59

Evening ladies - no news is good news here - no af , same boobs and I'm now spotty - I went really spotty when I was newly pregnant last time so could be anything - so attractive

@Passtheaftereights - I am sure I can see a line on your tests! Especially with the old tilting of the laptop technique - lets hope it stops being sneeky

Jallebi · 12/04/2018 19:53

Hello ladies, just checking in with nothing really to report.

I recognise some of the names from the last 2ww, and wanted to thank you for your suggestions to use clearblue opks. Those worked for me way better than the ICs.

I am now 5dpo with no symptoms at all, so have nothing to overanalyse. Yet.

Congratulations to the bfps!

Owlpatrol · 12/04/2018 19:39

Wow ladies lovely to see some bfp's! I don't think I ovulated this month which is the first time in ages! It had the usual sore boobs or cramps so fairly certain im out before I'm even in!

PassTheAfterEights · 12/04/2018 19:26

I think in your shoes I might be creeping to the GP soon @magratgarlik1983 to ask for bloods - it's agony not knowing / not having AF but not having the line develop much? I'm starting to wonder if I just have a slightly elevated base level of hcg and that's what measures vvvvvfl on a FRER :/

definite light cramping this evening and the back ache has ramped right up, feel a bit dismal now. The back ache i had with bfp before but I don't recall the cramps until properly preg (and then had a mc so probably not a great sign anyway). Will FRER in the am.

@clairehr keeping fingers crossed you have some later good news, you never know - implantation can be 6-12dpo and average is 9dpo...

@lolacola13 you're lola again!!

Thanks everyone!

MaGratgarlik1983 I can see a line x

MaGratgarlik1983 · 12/04/2018 17:21

Eek. Here it is inverted.

lolacola13 · 12/04/2018 17:16

I think I can see a wee slither of a line 🙏🏻

MaGratgarlik1983 · 12/04/2018 17:00

Hi @passtheaftereights I'm either just due or a week late...?!! Not tracking ov really so don't know! If I oved on time, I'm almost two weeks late but I don't think I oved on time.
Right ladies, have a look at this please. I can see something not sure if I'm going mad.

winterwarmers · 12/04/2018 15:08

been lurking a lot this month currently 3/4dpo and not that hopeful this month not sure why but think af with show up

clairehr · 12/04/2018 14:08

@PasstheAfterEights I don't have an FRER to hand, but will get one if no AF this weekend. 11 DPO today, AF due Sunday, so would have thought something would be showing by now if the twinges meant anything. However, onto the next cycle I go, at least we get some more fun trying, hehe!

My first pregnancy last year would have been due on Christmas day... with an Easter conception too, you literally couldn't write it 😂

sprinkleofsunshine · 12/04/2018 12:58

Thanks @PassTheAfterEights Smile

PassTheAfterEights · 12/04/2018 12:46

Don't worry @twittlebee we'll start the #savetwittle defence fund x

TwittleBee · 12/04/2018 12:31

PassTheAfterEights no worries! If anyone else wants the same either DM or post on here Smile happy to help (probably gonna have FF take me to court for giving out their services for free though haha!)

PassTheAfterEights · 12/04/2018 12:28

Thanks chaps x and for the use of the light box @Twittlebee so kind of you! We'll need to contribute to your subs at this rate. @peachesarenom I agree I think, keeping everything crossed. Even if it sharpens up won't breathe out for a while, January still feels pretty raw. What will your EDD be? Mine would be 25/12 if we conceived at Easter - couldn't make it up. Will you join an ante natal thread? I loved mine before but will be so nervous next time. Above all fx yours gets comfy in there and you have a healthy nine months!!

Welcome @sprinkleofsunshine good luck for the 2ww!!

@clairehr how annoying, how many dpo again and do you have a FRER? I know what you mean, i find the last couple of days before AF torture just wanting to be at the next FW. Kills a lot of time this TTC business. Really hope you're not out x

sprinkleofsunshine · 12/04/2018 12:16

Thanks @TwittleBee I think that will be us too!

We have said see how it goes yet dh knows it's ov week and is on it Grin haha

TwittleBee · 12/04/2018 12:10

hi sprinkleofsunshine good luck for this cycle, soon you will become a true POAS addict haha! I remember the months we said we classed as ourselves as not properly trying - we both still over analysed haha

Mouth ulcer popped up!... FX this is a symptom?

clairehr · 12/04/2018 12:08

@PasstheAfterEights I caved - BFN. Got some funky pains still, but completely stark white IC. Eurgh, just want it to be the next cycle now! How are you doing?

sprinkleofsunshine · 12/04/2018 11:44

Me please! We've been waiting to start ttc so this is our first month! We're not 'properly trying' as such as in we aren't taking every opportunity we can to have dtd but we have carefully timed sex around ov dates and I'm on preconception pills so go figure lol.

Apparently ovulating this week. Dtd Monday, might get another round in Grin did say we will see how it goes but very hard to resist symptom spotting & poas!!

TwittleBee · 12/04/2018 11:41

PassTheAfterEights i really can't see anything. Sad even stuck it in FF's lightbox for you

peachesarenom · 12/04/2018 11:33

PassTheAfterEights I think yours looks like mine yesterday!

PassTheAfterEights · 12/04/2018 11:30

So ladies rolls up sleeves

@peachesarenom still can't believe it, so happy for you - this is just the best news! 😘

@vickywood3 dear lord, you poor thing - thank you re POAS wishes and huge good luck for the essay, glad you have a lovely fresh house to unwind in in the evenings!

@EnglishIrishRose yes would count today as day 1 and ovulation day 0. FX for you!

@MaGratgarlik1983 still looks like something to me, is it developing in strength? you must be way overdue AF now? actually - is it worth asking GP for a blood test? You must be going stir crazy :(

@clairehr did you POAS? How are you feeling? after distinct twinges around day 6/7 (implantation?) I had nothing but this morning a little pulling & discomfort again, but then so did Peaches & BFP - so don't lose heart, and good luck x

@twittlebee no I think 5dpo is possible; it could be you ov'd very early in the day you know?

@anonaon haha lola you're like the scarlet pimpernel ;) ah that's a hard one - I've never monitored ovulation so would prob hedge my bets and treat Thursday as day 0 and Friday as day 1? Betting that way could save you heaps in early tests anyway..! So I reckon I'd POA cheapie if you want to P on Sunday but not expect to see anything til mid-next week? Bought 25 for £3 on Amazon as an insurance against early testing.

@sammy900 thank you x any developments?

THANK YOU to all line spotters and wishful thinkers, feeling the vibes and strangely calm this month. BFN in my DH's gran's bathroom while they did birthday tea downstairs last month was a TTC low, pretty sobering. This morning's 9dpo FRER with SMU (better than FMU for me) attached; not sure I see anything, maybe I do - not convincing though. So as you were. Bit of pulling/tugging, achey back, sliiiiiightly sensitive nips, bit bunged up and a blinding headache this morning all reminiscent of last BFP and different to the killer huge sore boobs of last two cycles. But who knows 🤷 onto day 10 tomorrow.

Thanks MaGratgarlik1983 and TwittleBee fx for you all too. Like vickywood I am off work this week but I have nothing to distract me! At least I can relax a bit more.
