Anyone else starting 2ww

@Catspajamas85 oh she's a cow! Enjoy the wine! fingers crossed for your brand new cycle x

Urgh af got me guys! What a bitch!

Silver lining is that I can have a big old glass of wine as I tend to avoid in the tww! I’ll keep being nosey to see how you guys get on though.

Fx for you all x

DH asked me tonight when I'm going to test and how I felt. I told him I feel so un-pregnant cos I honestly do. I think because with DS I just knew, I'm not at all optimistic for this month. I actually have very little urge to test because I'm 99.9% sure it's a waste of money. Ugh.

Thanks @FoxyRoxy and @8DaysAWeek - I'll try and hold it all afternoon! I do drink a lot during the day - I drink tons of tea but have been replacing it mostly with hot water because of the stuff about caffeine - but I also have a strong bladder so will put it to the test I'm waiting on a client in work right now and maybe it's the heat today or something but I feel really queasy...

I've got some frers coming tomorrow. Love that dh hasn't remembered to cancel his prime membership 😂
I've not had any spotting or anything, but not sure I did with dd either. Heartburn isn't too bad but still there on and off and occasional tingling in my boobs. Think it's just af getting ready though now.
Need to hold off testing for a few days.

I am going to test in the morning (fully expecting a bfn) but I'll feel better about being out all day at an event and drinking. If I get a bfp on sat/sunday then I won't feel bad 😂

Oh I'm torn... do I test tomorrow and expect bfn or hold out and live in hope for a bit longer?!??

@starsandstuff IF I test tomorrow (and that's a big if as I have no tests so would have to go out and buy them) I'll be testing in the evening as I share your same logic! Surely 9.5dpo is better than 9dpo :p

I pee like three times a day at most and barely drink anything (so bad) so holding for a while isn't a problem for me. Bladder of steel!

@starsandstuff if you can hold your wee for 4 hours at least then you can test in the evening, I got a bfp with evening wee at 9dpo after getting one in the morning with fmu. But you have to be able to hold it for at least that long or you'll just be wasting a test haha

@mostimproved well if I do it 6 days before my period should be due is so i could do it Wednesday.... but I'm scared xx

@Delilah7 good luck anyway - when are you planning on testing?

@mostimproved thank you!! So hoping this pink and light brownish mucus was an implantation bleed but doubt it haha xx

@Delilah7 yes you can definitely be pregnant - I got pregnant on the pill, so you can definitely get pregnant after being off it even if you haven’t a proper period!

@mostimproved well I had my withdrawal bleed 5th may. And then apparently ovulated 17th so last week. We were very uncareful all that week obviously so I'm 7dpo. But I'm just confused as whether I can actually be pregnant if I am as I haven't had a 'natural period' since being off the pill! Xx

@Cloud9889 sounds very promising!

@Delilah7 I had the same yesterday and the day before - I have been googling and read plenty of stories of spotting/cramps around 7dpo that led to a BFP, but then I’m only reading what I want to hear!

I haven’t got any tests yet as I have no self control! I have amazon prime so going to order soon - I’ve seen a pack with a mix of FRER and ICs so will probably go for that one. Trying to wait until Monday but it’s really dragging now.

hey @starsandstuff can I ask you all something silly? Ive has what the doctors say is withdrawal bleed but not a period since I stopped. Which wasn't long ago. I can still get pregnant without that can't I? Xx

*Not over yet 🙄

Sorry @Cloud9889 , missed the update about the digi. But not yet... x

Hi @Delilah7 :) Fx it's IB x

@Cloud9889 that sounds really promising!! Hope it's darker again tomorrow if you retest.

I'm 8dpo today I think and definitely experiencing a bit of cramping today, also got a few proper stabby pains in my left side earlier. I don't usually get cramps before AF (actually I'm very lucky, I hardly get cramps at all) so I'm wondering if these mean something. I've got 2 shiny FRERs ready and waiting! I'm going to use one tomorrow and hold the other one for Wednesday if AF hasn't arrived.

Question - if I'm testing tomorrow should I use FMU or does it really matter? I know it's supposed to be strongest then, but then I'll only be 9dpo and my logic is if I am upduffed I'll be 9 hours more upduffed at 5pm than 8am, does that make sense?? Also I'm not sure if I got a BFP I could just go straight into work! Although might make my nightmare boss easier to deal with as I imagine fucking off on mat leave

altho one thing makes me feel a bit better is that I did a boots HPT when I was pregnant with my first a few days early/around time period due and it was negative. I got a didi 2-3 weeks on clearblue just 5/6 days later! is funny how both pregnancies for me have been different. When i was preggers with DS2 2 years later I had an early positive and tested similar time to when got a negative with DS1 and got a pregnant 1-2 weeks on digi

did the digi it was a big fat 'not pregnant' - my 'sample' was definetly more dilute than this mornings though. I have heard they are not that sensitive so holding out hope I may only be 9 dpo and just tested early. I have decided to stick to IC tests until Saturday when I may splurge on a FRER again if no AF

@FoxyRoxy I hope so too! Bit concerned it's not but lol xx
