I'm 4dpo, fairly sure this month isn't going to work but wondered if anyone wanted to join me in the crazy 2ww?

Hi ladies, had a bit of a stalk and I hope you don't mind me joining in! I'm TTC baby number 1 and this is my first month. I was on cerazette but came off about 5 weeks ago and I've had AF and ovulated 2 days ago. I'm now on my first ever 2WW and quite honestly I dunno what to do with myself! At least doing OPK I was actively doing something, this wait seems unbearable and I'm only 2DPO! 😩😂 I'm still getting really bad stomach cramps and painful boobs which I'm assuming is from ovulation, is this normal? X

@mrsp4 I'm OK. Just a bit fed up. I hate the whole "waiting for my fertile period" time. It feels like such a drag; you don't have the anticipation of possibly being pg in 2 weeks, it's just a waste.

Also feel a little bit like it's never going to happen. Although I had a weird dream that I was lactating last night!! 😂

@MrsP4 annoying lack of detail on that box!! Get a pink dye test!!! Can't wait to see the result, it has to be your turn this month for a BFP

This is the box

@whyhaveidonethis 🙈🙈😂😂😂 I don't know it's all I've got in the house, doesn't say how much HCG it detects just says this....

kell2126 · 25/03/2019 13:11

@MrsP4 I agree with @whyhave that a digi would prob take a bit longer to show (but I would totally have done one if it was the only kind I had in the house!) so you're still in!!

@MrsP4 you should know better!! A digital at 12dpo will nearly always be bfn won't it?! Lol. Does it not say the sensitivity on the box?

MrsP4 · 25/03/2019 12:08

Oh really @whyhaveidonethis I might have to give temping another go then, I think I can see something @kell2126 but it's hard to say if it's got any colour to it really hope it gets stronger and darker for you! I caved this morning too and tested on a boots digital at 12DPO and it said not pregnant, not sure how sensitive they are but I'm just waiting for AF now

kell2126 · 25/03/2019 10:58

@whyhave Thank you! That's exactly my problem with it too Sad. Just have to wait and go again tomorrow I guess!

@kell2116 it's hard to say. My eyes see it one second then it's gone the next. Good luck!!

Thank you @LouH1981 – I veer from definitely thinking I see it to not being able to see anything at all!! Confused Hoping today goes really quickly so I can poas again tomorrow morning.

How are you doing now? Any more symptoms to report? And have you booked in for your first scan?

LouH1981 · 25/03/2019 10:20

Yes, I think I can see a line! 😊😊 (Lovely nails too btw!) @Kel2126

@mrsp4 I work shifts and get up at funny times too. I also work away a lot, but I find that as long as I get 3 hours solid sleep before I take my temp out doesn't make too much difference; I'm still able to note a clear temperature shift around ovulation.

Feeling pregnant.... I don't know. With DC1&2, I just knew I was pregnant. Was just a knowledge. Which really doesn't help you does it?! 😂 However with DS3 had no idea until morning sickness kicked in!! I took one sniff of a cup of coffee and my stomach turned. I knew then and a pregnancy test confirmed it an hour later.

On 12DPO here (I think AF due Weds, but Flo reckons Thurs) and going a little crazy. Am I 'seeing' something that isn't there? ConfusedConfusedConfused

@MrsP4 I hardly ever have ANY sign that AF is coming. Horrendous pains after but she normally just slips in. That's why I'm loving BBT; for the first time in my life it's not a complete surprise!!

You are strong not testing yet!! Well done you. Fingers crossed for you. X

MrsP4 · 24/03/2019 21:21

Thanks @LouH1981 and @ducksandacorns the wait continues 😬

MrsP4 · 24/03/2019 21:19

@whyhaveidonethis No idea when to test FF says weds think I'll just see how I feel the next couple days, normally a day or two before AF I get that horrible pressure type feeling low down but don't have that yet 👀

MrsP4 · 24/03/2019 21:17

@whyhaveidonethis oh bless you I have everything crossed for you that it will be your turn soon! 😘 don't give up hope!

@kell2126 yes mine was very similar to that!!

From what I've read online it's not very reliable but yeah I agree was nice to see two lines on anything at 11DPO even if it does mean nothing 😂 this was mine

@MrsP4 I've often had slight lines on opks throughout the month. Unfortunately it's never meant anything in my case. No idea why...although I'm now scratching my head and wondering.....

Fingers crossed it's a good sign for you. When are you testing ?

OP posts:
kell2126 · 24/03/2019 20:34

@MrsP4 agreed. But nonetheless strangely satisfying to see a second line on anything at this stage in the cycle Blush

ducksandacorns · 24/03/2019 20:32

@kell2126 that's exactly what mine looked like this morning but I don't think it means anything BFP wise unfortunately

LouH1981 · 24/03/2019 20:10

@MrsP4 after I got the positive on my FRER and CB, I used OPKS to keep checking (because of previous miscarriage) and they were picking up hcg quite nicely. So fingers crossed for you xxx
