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

Oh wow @EnglishIrishRose massive congratulations! So hope I'll be joining you soon!

EnglishIrishRose · 23/04/2018 17:18

Thanks hidcat going to go and stalk the pregnancy boards now!

Hi!
Can I jump on this thread as it seems very lucky! Congratulations to everyone!

I've been TTC since February last year - it has been difficult!! This month was my first ovulation in the last 14 months and I was over the moon that I'd even ovulated!!

Currently 3 dpo and experiencing so many symptoms that my oh is convinced it has happened. Keep having to remind him that I'll have odd symptoms as my body won't have had these hormones for a while but it does keep ringing at the back of my mind that I might be - fingers crossed!

Is anyone else in their 2ww?

HidCat · 23/04/2018 10:21

@EnglishIrishRose congratulations!

EnglishIrishRose · 23/04/2018 09:16

Thanks @TinySnowBuddy we are thrilled. It's gonna be a January baby like the rest of my family!

TinySnowBuddy · 23/04/2018 07:53

Oh that's fab @EnglishIrishRose very clear, congratulations!!

EnglishIrishRose · 23/04/2018 07:51

Well knock me sideways with a feather... I'm up the duff! For some reason I can't talk about this without weird phrases Grin

I am 11dpo and got a pretty obvious line on both cheap strip test and Clearblue early response. Much clearer on the CB though, I don't think much of those cheap tests but at least they are cheap!

Well this explains the bloating... BFP!

Thanks @TakingtheLeap. Not been on contraception for well over a year maybe my bodys just doing different af symptoms to trick me haha!

TakingtheLeap · 22/04/2018 22:13

@DBoo I had stabby pains in my left breast last month. Was first month off Pill so convinced myself it was a pregnancy symptom, but naw...

DBoo · 22/04/2018 21:24

Dont think this is a pregnancy symptom (sure i have seeb the first signs of af today) but does anyone get stabby pains in their boobs around af?

This is totally new for me lol but im gettinf stabbing pains in my right one and occasionally my left. Never had it before and ive been pregnant three times so think its more af sign. Ive been taking evening primrose oil for about 6 weeks and wonder if its something to do with that.

Big hugs @starwishing

Hi @Amcg22 good luck for this round!

Amcg22 · 22/04/2018 20:05

Hi all,

Just jumping on the wagon!

TTC cycle #2
4dpo

The wait last month was a real struggle. Also had tones of symptoms which made it worse and I think I’d deluded myself! A lot more relaxed this month as sure it’s not going to happen as I was out of the country on day of ovulation without OH. DDT 3 days before and then 2 days after so we will see if a miracle happens.

Good luck all x

Lolacola13 · 22/04/2018 19:59

The biggest kisses and hugs @starwishing .... xoxoxoxoxox

starwishing · 22/04/2018 19:36

I just wanted to say good luck to everyone on your journey and you'll all get your BFP soon I'm sure. I am leaving the ttc game now as I have just found out I am late menopause and that explains our infertility. Given my age I'm not too surprised as I am a bit long in the tooth for babies anyway. I am going away to do some crying and get angry at myself for waiting too long for a baby. I'll lurk a bit but won't join the new thread.

Thank you for the company so far though xxx

waitingforbubbles · 22/04/2018 18:06

@Jallebi I've just started one and I think tagged you in it- April BFPs in pregnancy.

Anyone else who has had/gets positives is welcome to join!

Jallebi · 22/04/2018 17:52

Mine is 30/12 according to the NHS calculator, so I am actually many weeks behind compared to the December thread. Might let the news sink in a bit and join a January thread once it is created. x

waitingforbubbles · 22/04/2018 17:45

@Jallebi my due date is actually showing as 3rd of Jan according to natural cycles! When is yours? X

Jallebi · 22/04/2018 17:44

@waitingforbubbles This exists: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/antenatal_clubs/3211263-December-2018-babies but for the time being I am just lurking.
Let me know if you start a new thread!

waitingforbubbles · 22/04/2018 17:23

@Jallebi ooh I hadn't thought of the next step! Maybe we should start our own? April 2018 BFPs...? If there isn't one already!

Jallebi · 22/04/2018 17:21

Thanks @EnglishIrishRose and @PocketFullofMumbles.

And congrats @waitingforbubbles and Mumbles. I don't know what to do next - it seems too early join the pregnancy threads. What are you ladies doing?

waitingforbubbles · 22/04/2018 14:46

@PocketFullofMumbles YES!! Definitely darker!! Eeek!!! Xxx

PocketFullofMumbles · 22/04/2018 14:44

Brilliant news @waitingforbubbles, congrats again 😄 I’m 11 dpo today and AF is due Wednesday. Just took the attached test and I think it is clearer than yesterday. Hardly daring to hope!!

Congrats @Jallebi and fx for everyone else still hoping...

April 2ww
waitingforbubbles · 22/04/2018 14:35

@PocketFullofMumbles my AF was due tomorrow, I'm 12 DPO today . Managed to get a digital positive on a Clearblue this morning- so good to see it in writing!! ☺️

I doubt a FRER would be negative after that test as they are SO sensitive. When is AF due for you?

April 2ww
EnglishIrishRose · 22/04/2018 08:50

And congrats to you Jallebi Flowers

EnglishIrishRose · 22/04/2018 08:48

@PocketFullofMumbles I saw that line - fingers crossed it gets darker for you.

sprinkleofsunshine the bloating is horrible isn't it? I'm a bit worried as I've never had it before. I had to undo my jeans completely yesterday and spent 3 hours on a hot train just feeling like a fat uncomfortable whale!

I tested this morning at 10dpo and BFN. Trying not to worry as my friend who has a baby now said that she tested negative at 10dpo too. Hoping for a BFP in the next few days.
