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

Justliketheysaid I'm due on Thursday and still showing nothing on 10ml tests 😢 Even splashed out on a First Response which I used yesterday- bfn. It'd be showing by now, for sure, right?

4leafclover · 16/04/2018 21:30

To be honest I haven't had the OV wait, yet. We kinda just went with the moment a few times and then I realised from charting it was a fertile week. FX

JustLikeTheySaid · 16/04/2018 21:29

Ovulated on the 6th so now 10dpo. 10mL pick up from 5 days before period due, right? So I should be seeing a line by now I think :'(

Feeling very low as held a friend's 2 day old baby for an hour today. So lovely but so sad!

winterwarmers · 16/04/2018 21:27

i'm 9dpo tomorrow so i'm going to do a frer if my temp and heart rate is still up, is anyone else testing ? sorry for those who havnt had the outcome they wanted and congratulations to the bfps so far

starwishing · 16/04/2018 21:20

@JustLikeTheySaid I'm due Sunday but I'm only 5dpo so depending on your LP I'd have said it was way too early. Mine is 14 days so average for me.

JustLikeTheySaid · 16/04/2018 21:11

I am starting to think I'm probably out... 10mL tests showing nothing and I'm due on Saturday. Hard not to feel like a failure :(

lolacola13 · 16/04/2018 20:20

Oh the tww is just awful lol. I do feel for u. I found though the wait for fertile period worse than tww.... like from cycle day 1 to 17....good lord it drags...xoxo

4leafclover · 16/04/2018 20:13

@sexnotgender congratulations on bfp!

@lolacola13 I know what you mean, cheapies seem like a good idea when you just want to know. It's trusting them that is the problem. literally pissing money away, but for good reason or so I will prob be telling myself come the weekend 😂. Be strong, no tests at home means no testing 😁think of poor me only 4dpo...the struggle is real.

sprinkleofsunshine · 16/04/2018 19:57

That would make sense! Just Seems a lot stronger than usual. Fx in that case, going to be a long two weeks!

JustLikeTheySaid · 16/04/2018 19:53

Sprinkle it is more likely that you are ovulating today - that sounds a lot like ovulation pain!

vickywood3 · 16/04/2018 19:47

@sexnotgender a big congratulation on your BFP 😘 how many dpo are you? Xx

sprinkleofsunshine · 16/04/2018 19:32

And a massive congratulations @sexnotgender

sprinkleofsunshine · 16/04/2018 19:32

Good luck to everyone testing. I joined a bit early. Bit eager I think & I'm only now starting my 2ww. Picked up some tests today but going to try and hold out until after af is due. My fertile window only finished yesterday according to my app Hmm but today I have quite bad pain in my right side (around my ovaries) dull ache and then sharp stabs and cramp all down the same leg. I think it's waaay to early for anything preg related but this is my first month ttc and new to all this, this month I've started taking pre preg tabs etc so a lot of change wondering if it's just that. Obv reading on the internet makes you worry! Has anyone else experienced similar?

sexnotgender · 16/04/2018 18:32

Thank you, we’re absolutely delighted.

italianwifey · 16/04/2018 18:29

Woooo @sexnotgender congratulations!!!

sexnotgender · 16/04/2018 18:15

No squinting required!

April 2ww
lolacola13 · 16/04/2018 17:58

@4leafclover when I say faint I mean so faint I have to hold it near the window lol then I had that before and af arrived the next day I think a lot of the cheapies have a watermark . I'm certain of it. I have ONE cheapie left and no frer in the house and I'm bloody glad of it so I stop quite literally pissing my money away ! ... I will maybe use the last ic tomorrow just to get it outta the house that will be 10 dpo... then just wait patiently as af is due Sunday/Monday. No tests in the house means no testing right???

goneswimming · 16/04/2018 17:22

This 2ww is driving me crazy! AF due on Thursday and I've already tested for five days in a row...obviously they've all been negative, equally obviously I still deep down believe it could be wrong and AF simply won't happen.
I have absolutely zero symptoms and nothing else to keep me from going stark staring bonkers! How is it possible in this world full of technology that the answer to "Am I pregnant" is "wait a few weeks and pee on a stick"?????

4leafclover · 16/04/2018 17:12

@lolacola13 thank you for the warm welcome! FX it's third time lucky on the third try for you😊 faint lines have to be a good sign? Not long (but forever) to wait for a more promising test. I am trying not to obsess but this tww is hard lol. I have this logical side, saying it's only 4dpo chill and then the irrational side that symptom checks. Patience.......reading people's messages have been very helpful alone, so I had to join in.

@EnglishIrishRose Snap! It's nice to know I'm almost at the same point as someone else. Tww sucks, I honestly think on and off all day and this do I have symptoms thing is driving me nuts ....lol. I know it's too early! Ohh FX the toddler has sensed something, you never know right?

EnglishIrishRose · 16/04/2018 15:41

Welcome 4leafclover it sounds like we are cycle buddies and I'm also ttc our first :)

I wasn't thinking about the tww at all today at work, until the toddler (I'm a nanny) asked me 'Do you have a baby in your tummy?' I was like Shock this kid reads minds!!!

lolacola13 · 16/04/2018 14:35

@4leafclover hey!! And welcome .. I'm ttc no 3..cycle number three! 9dpo... still none the wiser! Keep seeing faint lines on the internet cheapies but I've learnt in the past they are terrible for indents . Hope u have lots of luck and baby dust this month!!! Don't be afraid to ask for help this board is such a great help xoxoxo

sexnotgender · 16/04/2018 13:56

Not been able to test again as spent the morning fighting with a bloody airline who overbooked our flight and bumped us to the shittest flight ever!!! Will try and test later.

4leafclover · 16/04/2018 12:38

Hey ladies. This is my first time joining a forum. I liked this one you are all so nice to each other and support all the crazy in the tww! 😁 this is my first time ttc, it was really an early attempt, planed to ttc later in the year, but here's hoping. I'm 4dpo (approx) I use Flo, to chart cycle. Trying to be patient and ignore or rationalise all the symptoms I couldn't possibly have yet. It's so difficult. Thought this would help with the tww and make me feel not so crazy!

PassTheAfterEights · 16/04/2018 08:38

Thanks & you too @vickywood3 sounds like you might yet have some good news - 11dpo is about right for implantation bleeding if you implanted at 9! FX for you anyway x
