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

@PassTheAfterEights thank you, it is really annoying! I have had two previous miscarriages and one chemical pregnancy, so am going to the docs tomorrow - want to get it sorted out hopefully, whatever it is! It's almost more annoying than just getting my period really!

Aahhh hi DD warmers! x eek that sounds hopeful, huge fx you're finally there. no not allowed to use any ovulation products while on test and i never have in the past but if we have another cycle next month I'll use the ones they send, and probably order a bunch of one-steps too, and get into it.

@Secretlifeofme you poor thing, how annoying - any previous worries or worth checking up with GP? still hope it turns out to be good news for you, and @flyingplum - well done for getting this far!

@winterwarmers that makes total sense, hence the VFL's - if so am really sorry for you. Hope you ovulate soon. To my dismay i reread the clearblue instructions for control testers this morning and the kits they give you at the end aren't the ones from the trial but normal ones available in the UK - SOB!

@Lavendersblue42 @flippychick love the testing pact!! no chance I'll make next weekend but will try not to pee on too many expensive ones beforehand

@peachesarenom @helloworld88 resolutely stuck at 5dpo today, damn tech ;)

Feeling very flat and pissy at the moment, living in a barn at PIL's not helping. A nice Wine would...

Just coming to the end of mine here, if it's ok to join? I really shouldn't test until Monday, so have resisted buying any. I'm trying hard not to symptom spot and get hopes up. I had CCM and my boobs are MASSIVE but both happen occasionally before a period, so I will NOT get hopes up. WILL NOT.

Secretlifeofme · 08/04/2018 06:42

Hi, can I join for support? I am 13dpo but have been having some very weird symptoms, started brown spotting at 7dpo and was excited because I thought it was implantation bleeding, but the spotting has continued every day (literally a couple of spots, sometimes only visible when I wipe) and I have now had 2 BFNs so I'm fairly sure it's another issue and I'm not pg :(

winterwarmers · 08/04/2018 06:21

@PassTheAfterEights nope still no ovulation as we of yet but think i may have had a chemical last month so that may have thrown my body out.

i'm on cd20 with no ovulation yet when normally it is cd18 at least i know my period will be late already

peachesarenom · 07/04/2018 21:37

I check clue hourly too! You defo deserve #pro PassTheAfterEights

helloworld88 · 07/04/2018 20:38

@PassTheAfterEights I also open my clue and fertility friend app multiple times a day to see if they've changed 😂😂😂

flippychick · 07/04/2018 20:33

@Lavendersblue42 I'm competitive, so aiming to hold out longer than you may just be the motivation I need to hold on until Saturday Grin

Lavendersblue42 · 07/04/2018 20:24

@passtheaftereights going to test next Saturday so test twin with @flippychick unless I cave and go earlier!

flippychick · 07/04/2018 20:03

@PassTheAfterEights I'm really trying not to get my hopes up, I've always been a symptom spotter, and have been convinced by the slightest little thing in the past. I'm suddenly strangely calm about what should be the biggest symptom...

I'm away with work all next week, so either I test alone in a hotel room (and deal with the fall out myself) or wait until next Sat to test. I suspect I won't have the patience to wait....Grin

@MaGratgarlik1983 bless you, that sounds so so tough on you both. Body weight in wine sounds like an ideal plan for the time being to me, enjoy it and try to relax - your DH is right, you never know what's in store x

MaGratgarlik1983 · 07/04/2018 19:20

Still BFN so think I'm out. Worked out we only have nine months until the window for a second child closes (as four years is really the max max max age gap I want). DH just keeps saying never say never and he'll have a think but isn't keen. Really rubbish. Feel almost grief for the family I thought I'd have although we are ob lucky beyond words to have DS. I'm an only child, and whilst there are positives to this, it breaks my heart to think of him wanting a sibling as much as I did and still do. Congrats on the Bfps, wishing you all a happy and healthy nine months and beyond. I'm going to drink my own bodyweight in wine.

Ah bless you @chattein will keep everything crossed for you. It must be very surreal - I sometimes wonder how different a second BFP will be after the first went west, so hard to control emotion. Will be thinking of you!

No excuses required, we've seen it all ;) and been there - FW finished for us this month on the third consecutive weekend of a major house move for us and my PIL; I swear my DH deserved a medal for the last bonk, I was catatonic. We laughed through this FW, aching and exhausted, more than anything else. do know what you mean though, I was certain in March and all the boobs and twinges were just progesterone. have only been a bit more relaxed to date this month thanks to having the move to think about, fx April's your month and for an easy 2ww - if all else fails, box set marathon xx

Chattein · 07/04/2018 18:56

@helloworld88 thanks so much! Fingers crossed!!

@HidCat thanks!!

@PassTheAfterEights oh my god I know!!! I can't even believe it. I'm not even 100 percent yet. Gonna POAS again in a couple days and see if it's still the same. Just been out and bought a digital so will do that Monday 🙄

lolacola13 · 07/04/2018 18:51

Thanks @PassTheAfterEights !!! I'm dreading it as last month I really really got my hopes up . I am just exhausted from shagging 🙈 excuse the language .

hi chaps, happy weekend!

@Chattein you utter legend, congratulations - flying the flag for post loss fertility cape!! shortest tenure on any thread ever?! fx it's a good and sticky one x

@helloworld88 it was early, don't lose heart. I sometimes wonder if I enjoy the agony of waiting more than the sodding answer but give yourself a couple more days.

@vickywood3 how lovely, what are you having done? v jealous of your paint fumes. @hidcat happy DTD! @MaGratgarlik1983 and @stephisaur reckon you're about the same dpo, any news? fx for you both x

@lavendersblue42 also 4DPO, soooo sleepy, or I was til awoken by DH with another day of packing boxes to contend with :/ couldn't get going before midday with last BFP so OBVIOUSLY preggo 🙄 roll on next week. When will you test?

@peachesarenom HI! How are you?? Monday sounds v reasonable, fx fx fx for you. Four days behind you. Plan to survive the remainder is to a) scan for symptoms and refresh Glow hourly to see if my dates have magically leapt forward and b) order cheapie / FRER bundle on Prime on Tuesday to arrive Wednesday to POAcheapie immediately and POAFRER with Thursday's FMU. #pro

@winterwarmers how bloody annoying, maybe their software's dodge? i'm in the control arm second cycle so if no luck this month will get to try it next. hope you have ovulated today anyway, you must be exhausted!

huge welcome @flippychick that sounds massively temptingly like implantation?????? fx tightly crossed for you, are you going to test before AF? don't be cross with yourself, as long as you're not smoking crack i had a happy meal for supper last night 🙊

Anyone ovulating the last few days and about to start the tww ? Mine starts tomorrow . Dtd studying and working is literally exhausting . Wouldn't mind a year off 😂😂 . here's to the bfps!!!

helloworld88 · 07/04/2018 18:06

I failed to wait and did a test...obviously bfn. Why do we do this to ourselves?

HidCat · 07/04/2018 17:12

@Chattein that looks good to me, congratulations!

Hope everyone is doing ok. Waiting for ovulation here so not in 2WW yet but hoping to not be far from it. Fingers crossed for everyone testing in the next few days!
