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

@lolacola13 just looked it up. Very interesting but I much prefer the "Look who's Talking" version!

lolacola13 · 09/04/2018 19:06

SPERM not spark 🙄

lolacola13 · 09/04/2018 19:05

Anyone every watch the great spark race documentary on YouTube ? V interesting but just made me feel less positive about ttc. 😂😂😂 .

clairehr · 09/04/2018 18:42

@Twittlebee @Passtheaftereights Haha! I'm genuinely one of the worst for symptom spotting to be homest, simply because I convinced myself I was good at it because with my previous two pregnancies (resulting in MC) I just 'knew' I was pregnant. And now I'm just a desperate girl hoping to start a family and praying that every twinge she feels in her tummy is a little growing baby 😂 I don't have a day off until Saturday and no real opportunity to POAS before so FX I can make it!

Smiley97 · 09/04/2018 18:30

Can I join in!

I’m not 100% I’m in tww as the last ovulation test I did was 29/03 and it was high not peak - but I’d had 16 high days!!! The last week or so I’ve had so many symptoms that i convinced myself it could be a bfp but did a test yesterday and it was a bfn 👎 trying to wait until at least Friday to test again but I’m so impatient!😂 good luck everyone!😘

flippychick · 09/04/2018 18:29

Well I suspect I'm out...

Despite the nausea (symptom spotting despite saying I wouldn't), I'm still bleeding and it's heavier (although not as heavy as AF), so not sure it's implantation bleeding after all. Probably a reaction to stress, crap diet and gin Gin

I'm going to test in the morning to confirm (AF is due Wednesday)

starwishing · 09/04/2018 18:24

Hiya, I'll join but I'm not in a proper tww. Today is my positive ov result but I'm not planning on being pregnant because I'm still new out of surgery x

Hi @twittlebee eek hope the good feels mean something!! @clairehr majorly impressed, my only BFP showed at 10dpo so henceforth obviously cannot get past that stage without a FRER. Have at least backed up with one-steps to help manage the crazy.

Huge good luck for tomorrow @flyingplum

Feeling less introspective about TTC this month, the value of a good distraction 🙄 definitely have increased awareness/slight sense of heaviness in uterus but honestly no other symptoms, this time last month they were raging and it was just sodding progesterone. Would be implanting today/tomorrow if upduffed. our BFP in Jan was only first proper cycle TTC so was very switched off and relaxed about symptoms - now I wish I'd paid closer attention to have something to compare it to!

clairehr I wish I could do that! Good luck with it haha, hope the TWW goes quickly for you. I am already overanalysing my cramps and tiredness haha and already said I am allowed to use a FRER 9dpo seems its my day off (I am an idiot!)

clairehr · 09/04/2018 16:52

@Twittlebee Promised myself this month that I wouldn't symptom spot or test until AF due.... Halo so I'm obsessing over a bubbly tummy and trying to hold out until Saturday to POAS... hmmm

flyingplum · 09/04/2018 16:03

Meant to ask @gemsparkle84 - when is your 'safe' test day? OH said this morning ' it you don't need to test every month'. He doesn't know me AT ALL. Once I have a project, I get obsessed... 😂

flyingplum · 09/04/2018 16:02

@gemsparkle84 - I caved yesterday when we got back home from being away. Stupid - was a BFN, but also weak wee, so of course now I'm doubting it. Today my boobs are still huge and achy. Pretty convinced is just AF threatening...picked up some FRER today in Superdrug. If no AF today, will test tomorrow morning. If it can't pick up anything it means I either got OD wrong and so we havent shagged at the right time (I was away) or I'm just not preggo and my PCOSy body is being a biatch.

TwittleBee · 09/04/2018 15:26

Hey there, here on another 2ww thread again. 2dpo on cycle 8 TTC #2. Have a feeling about this one.

MaGratgarlik1983 I agree with PassTheAfterEights, go get a FRER if you can't be waiting any longer. FX!

clairehr hi there, when you gonna start POAS?

clairehr · 09/04/2018 15:04

Jumping on board, 7dpo and driving myself mad already. 1 week down, 1 to go... sigh!

gemsparkle84 · 09/04/2018 14:37

@flyingplum did you do a test?!

PassTheAfterEights · 09/04/2018 14:10

@MaGratgarlik1983 so bizarre. Can't see anything on the one step but there's a line on the blue dye. At the absolute earliest you must now be 13dpo right? On that basis I reckon I'd go get a FRER - if pg it will def show and they aren't prone to the same evaps & indents as cheapies and blue dyes. I'd rather know than wait for AF but that's just me!! fx for you.

Congrats on ovulation @winterwarmers happy for you, happy tww!!

Hi & welcome & good luck @gemsparkle84 @eyedontknow

Good luck at the docs today @Secretlifeofme hope they have something reassuring for you, thinking of you x

Hi ladies. I'm so confused I don't know what to think. Still no af and, I know the blue dye tests are terrible etc, but I had a spare so took it this morning and can see something. Arggh.

winterwarmers · 09/04/2018 09:01

still a high reading on clearblue but i think as you have to test in the morning i missed the surge. Clear big temprise this morning ewcm yesterday so think i have finally ovulated hurrah

i can now enjoy the tww not

gemsparkle84 · 09/04/2018 07:09

Hi all Smile would love to join. I'm CD 24 (28) and have like some of you been driving myself mad with early testing when I promised myself I wouldn't..... now I keep getting BFN and don't know why I'm surprised Easter Hmm

The last two days I've felt very feverish hot/ cold and achy and very dizzy.

Good luck everyone and congrats on the BFPs xxx

Eyedontknow · 09/04/2018 06:36

Can I join? Glad I'm not the only one who continually refreshes tracking apps Grin
Sorry about your bfn @MaGratgarlik1983.

My app tells me I am 12/13dpo, but I typically get sore boobs right after ovulation time that last till I get my period and they only started hurting yesterday, making me think I ovulated a lot later than I thought I did even though I had the normal FW symptoms when the app predicted I would.

I hate symptom spotting, but I just can't seem to stop Angry

MaGratgarlik1983 · 08/04/2018 19:08

Yep was BFN. So gutted. Going to step away from it all for a bit and wait for af.

winterwarmers · 08/04/2018 16:08

@MaGratgarlik1983 do you have any others to repeat the test i can see a line but it is flooded?

MaGratgarlik1983 · 08/04/2018 15:39

Ermmmm
