If you're addicted to POAS and symptom spotting then join the club!

I'm currently 2DPO after a terrible flu virus caused late ovulation. I'm
Not holding out too much hope as ovulation was about a week late so my luteal phase may prove too short or maybe my LH surge was detected on OPK but I'm too sick this month to actually ovulate. Not much sex this month either. However I'm a crazy person in the 2ww so looking for like minded POAS addicts to join the ride!!

@bluemoon2468 same! When I was pregnant in September that's exactly what I managed to do! No idea how!

I will test again over weekend with my one steps and wait till Monday for a FRER

What about you? X

bluemoon2468 · 24/01/2020 10:36

@AnxiousAnnie86 exactly the same with me - only at certain angles and under a bright light! I really wish I was a person who could wait until AF is a few days late and then test and get a massive BFP staring me in the face 🙄

AnxiousAnnie86 · 24/01/2020 09:45

@bluemoon2468 oooo really! I mean my line is not even really there like had to shine a light on it to still barely see it type squinter 🤣 xx

bluemoon2468 · 24/01/2020 09:38

@AnxiousAnnie86 that's very similar to how mine looks. And I also feel like I'm hungover!

AnxiousAnnie86 · 24/01/2020 09:09

@AliSxo yeah I won't ever pin any hopes on them! I just feel hungover! It's the best way to describe how I feel! I'm adamant I'm holding off until Monday for FRER X

AliSxo · 24/01/2020 09:07

@AnxiousAnnie86 I'd be careful as the indents and general poor quality on IC's isn't great... maybe try tomorrow morning with a FRER x

9DPO and bfn on a FRER for me... no symptoms so not getting my hopes up. I had cramps and I was in a vile mood yesterday that's it so far x

AnxiousAnnie86 · 24/01/2020 09:05

Am I imagining?

I don't think the IC cheapies will pick up at 10/11 dpo but I could be very wrong!! I had a line this morn but only when a bright light was on it and I think it was an evap!

I have had really sore boobs since ovulation! Backache for last two days and have really really bad headache and nausea today :(

SweetpeaOrMarigold · 24/01/2020 08:11

I didn't poas! So proud of myself 🤣

12 days since positive OPK and a BFN on a FRER with FMU. I could maybe be only 10DPO maybe 11 if I ovulated 24-48'hours after LH surge detected. But.... that FRER was absolute stark white. No squinter at all :(

@AnxiousAnnie86 @SS123456 no worries, I really couldn't capture it on camera. Tested again this morning and again can see the very very faintest of lines - could well be an indent again 🤷‍♀️ Today I'm 8-10DPO, most likely 9. Annoyed with myself for testing this early and playing these mind games! Will test tomorrow morning and let you know if there is any progress!

SS123456 · 24/01/2020 07:10

@AnxiousAnnie86 I've felt 'odd' since Monday which is why I think I'm more disappointed about the BFN this morning. I've feel sick at some point every day this week, the odd cramps, bloated, very slightly sore boobs, and I have been awake since 3.30am with a headache. How about you?

AnxiousAnnie86 · 24/01/2020 06:53

@SS123456 haha I'm the same! I keep saying I will wait till Monday, I feel then if it's a negative on a FRER I know I'm out, have you any symptoms? X

SS123456 · 24/01/2020 06:50

@AnxiousAnnie86 I used a cheap amazon one and a femometer strip, I'm saving my 'expensive' ones for if/when I see at least a hint of a line!

AnxiousAnnie86 · 24/01/2020 06:20

@bluemoon2468 I can't see anything I'm sorry :( but I know how hard it is to capture on camera when it's really faint! Have you tried again this morn?

@SS123456 which test did you use? I used the IC One step ones? Anyone any experience on how reliable they are when testing early? X

AnxiousAnnie86 · 24/01/2020 05:51

@SS123456 same with the headache! Have the worst sickness since last night to, just tested on a one step though and negative 👎🏽 10/11dpo x

SS123456 · 24/01/2020 05:20

@bluemoon2468 I don't think I can see anything but it may just be the photo. How many dpo are you?

SS123456 · 24/01/2020 05:19

I've been awake since 3.30am with a headache so I just took a test. FMU at 11dpo and a BFN 😩

bluemoon2468 · 23/01/2020 16:42

I think I've gone absolutely crazy, but does anyone else see the very faintest of lines here? Isn't coming out as much on camera as in real life so played around with the settings a bit. No colour to it so may well just be an indent line (or literally just a hallucination 🙈)!

Because this is my first month TTC I think I'm symptom spotting and my general crampy tummy, and gassy tummy are on my
Mind constantly. But if I have these 'symptoms' next month I know they'll be AF. I think I hadn't paid much attention to AF symptoms either as it wasn't top of mind. So now my entire womb is all in thinking about.
No other symptoms like sickness, boobs, food or headaches. Purely just a crampy heavy tummy that I've had for about a week.

I tracked back to my BFP chart from a few years ago and I wrote that I felt like
aF was coming and I had no symptoms at all even up to my early reassurance scan at 6+ weeks. So that's giving me a bit of hope!

AnxiousAnnie86 · 23/01/2020 16:14

@charlesthekudu any symptoms either way? I really want to hold out until Monday which will be 14dpo and our fifth anniversary! But I also don't want it to ruin the day if it's negative :( I have backache and sore boobs, also since OV my skin has come out in so so many spots.. x

SweetpeaOrMarigold · 23/01/2020 16:00

I'm working all weekend so am hoping that will distract me enough to wait til Monday. I know it won't though! I tested on a night shift on christmas eve ffs

A FRER tomorrow morning will be nice and strong result for you I think!

I'm driving myself crazy here! AF is technically late. But I know my Ov was delayed by a full wee due to illness. So AF could be a week later still and I could not be pregnant.

I need to be more chilled out next month or I will be POAS 24/7!
