Aaaarrrggh! I hate the 2ww!

[essenceofSES]

I think I ovulated on CD19. Due to DH work commitments we only managed SWI once but that was on CD19. I know a BFP is still possible but we did only do it once.

It's too early to test but I have all my hopes of a BFP running through my head and symptom spotting. My body has been cruel in the past though and got my hopes up only for AF to appear.

However, this evening I am feeling quite nauseous and have had feelings like ligament pulling in my abdomen. Also slightly tender boobs.

I'm 8dpo and just want the next week to be over so I know!!!

Feel better for getting that out!

Ok, ERTD came six days early this week, about a week after I ovulated. It was heavy enough to use tampons for 1 day but it petered out after that and was gone by day 3 without really any other AF symptoms.

I know nothing about implantation bleeding, just what I've picked up on the boards, so I thought it was just very light spotting rather than a proper bleed... Now wondering whether to test when I should have done (next Monday) as if the bleed hadn't happened?

Don't want to get my hopes up (who am I kidding, done that already, haven't I!) - and DH is already revving himself up for next week...

late I'm not really sure about IB but from what I've read its fairly light and pink/brown (tmi!). Maybe you should test anyway just to be sure..... If BFN at least you know you can go again in a week....
Good luck x

So I bought two tests BOGOF that are sitting in my desk drawer, must wait until Monday. Have now accumulated enough Boots points to buy two more... brilliant.

Oh god Loup sorry for dragging you down the BOGOF route with me! I have left mine at home today and so I cannot possibly test. Trying to hold out until tomorrow morning.

Feeling pretty nagative about it all today though. Had period pain cramps again last night which were a little bit worse and I thought my boobs seemed heavier so thought...oooh maybe. This morning however, no pains, boobs feel lightish, stomach much flatter and I am desperate for a coffee.

Anyone else got any positive signs so I can live vicariously through you!?

bumpwanted what day are you on now? I had cramps yesterday which i thought i was imagining but then had light spotting - think too early for IB but some people have had 4dpo IB so holding out hope but then NO symptoms today - boobs not that sore, etc. It's not over until the AF shows her face...stay positive.

Started diggin out my pregnancy bible last night to look at days for IB - husband thinks i'm a complete loon.....

How's everyone else getting on?

ooh yay for you I think that sounds really positive for you! Do you usually have any spotting? If not, I think that must be a good sign! I so hope you get a BFP!

I am 9DPO and due on on 24th (this is a rough guess based on my regular cycle and i phone period tracker as I am not taking temperature etc!)

Trouble is I have had cramps pretty much since estimated ovulation day so I don't think it can be implantation cramps.

Really I should stop thinking about it as its not going to change anything, I have to either way for AF or BFP!

I did have a slight panic the other day about the amount of booze we have in the fridge (we moved house recently and so we had a lot of bottles of champagne given to us) and the fact that I wouldn't be able to drink any of it if I was pregnant....trying to see the silver lining!

bumpwanted fx those cramps are a good sign hope the weekend brings a BFP, my 10dpo isn't until next weds and I'm not sure i'll hold out that long.....

Good to have a silver lining, when I found out I wasn't Pregnant in Jan the silver lining was I could go skiing and enjoy some drinks.....if i'm not this month i'll probably be drinking the contents of our fridge....

Loup that does sound hopeful, fx.

I have NO symptons aghh.

Just the normal slightly crampy feeling i always have post ovulation. It's weird how I never even noticed this before ttc and now i'm super body aware and realise I have this every month.

I did test again bump . It wasn't even an early predicting test and at 6dpo I would imagine I would need that! Am going to try and not test until / if I am late now..

sorry to hear about BFN tea but 6dpo probs just too early. I nearly caved and did a test this afternoon but know that it's too early and that if anything, first morning pee is the best bet! Trying really hard to wait until Monday earliest.......Never knew 2w could feel so long! tea if you hold out until 23rd I'd be very impressed - I need to hold out until 28th for AF which isn't going to happen....

Don't be Tea! Been there, done that! Don't let it get you down though as its too early I am sure (says the girl who tested at 4DPO!)

Loup I am in awe of your self restraint! Keep up the good work!

I am testing in the morning. Have already decided. Reasons are:

a. morning pee!
b. I will be 10DPO
c. 5 days before my period and it says on the First Response box I can legitimately test in this period

I have bad back ache this afternoon though and more cramps and my sore throat is gone. I vaguely remember having period pains quite a bit before I was due last month so I am 99% sure the AF is on its way.

2ww is pants!

Good luck Bumpwanted 10dpo is definitely legitimate testing time, says the girl who tested at 5dpo! I caved....... It's Friday and end of week, had to do one even though ridiculous. Unsurprisingly was BFN and at the same time noticed quite a lot more spotting when i wiped and in my knicks (sorry tmi i know) so now no idea what's going on.... so frustrating this 2ww.

Good weekends everyone!

Good luck to anyone getting to valid testing time - fx crossed for you all.

No symptoms here except tiredeness - but that could just be from day to day living!

Loup I think that sounds really good for you! Fingers crossed its the teeny baby implanting. Don't get put off by the BPN - I think its just too early for you.

I am feeling rough. These period pains are killing me. I've just broken out in a bit of a sweat. SO glad it is friday and I am going home. Ugh.

Hartey your time will come!

Ah, this testing really does drive you nuts doesn't it?! BFN yesterday, but not due till Sunday, but really not feeling myself.

FX for all of us girlies, but for now, a cheeky ??

definately maybe!! im 2 days late,got af symptoms but im NEVER late and had a BFN yest(tho didnt use fmu) and no sore boobs which i did hugely with DD so im not hopeful...im thinking the tension isnt helping,and holding back the inevitable af...so ive decided the only way fwd is vino!
Happy weekend to everyone!! hope it brings us what we are looking for xx

I'm with you dolly just poured a glass of red!!

I have made a deal with myself to wait till nest wednesday till I do another POAS. So in the mean time, i'm thinking vino a go-go!!

next wednesday for me too maybebabyR - it's two weeks then since I got my smiley face on the OPK and about as long as I can bear to wait!

- for me too! Cheers one and all

Should be wednesday for me too 10dpo then so hoping wednesday brings some BFPs!!

Bottoms up to all! X

Bring on Wednesday I say!!x

Im officially on the 2WW currently CD17 so when can i start testing lol

Morning goingmad how many dpo's are you? I'd say wait at least 10dpo but see above and note I can't follow my own advice!

Feeling v negative today.when I wiped this morning, lots of CM which was pink/brown which means I've been spotting on and off since O day, don't think it can be IB just stupid body playing tricks....

bump let us know if you test today... Fx

I think im 3dpo if I ovulated on CD14, last 2 cycles were 29 and 28 days so working to that. I havent had any EWCM this month and not temping or charting so not 100% sure when I ovulated, I had spotting with both my previous pregnancies so its not over just yet for you, not until AF arrives, FX you get your BFP this month, when are you due?

Morning all! I've been lurking for a couple of weeks but now I feel I need to ask for some help/reassurance/advice....or summat....
I'm 10DPO and normally my temp starts to dip today in preparation for AF but this morning.....I woke an hour and a half before my normal temp-taking-time, debated with myself for a good 40 mins before I took my temp and noted that it's down a tiny bit on yesterday.
Finally got to sleep but then took my temp again after a couple of hours sleep and it had shot up to the highest it's been all month. My head is saying use the 1st temp (or don't enter a temp at all) but my heart obviously wants to use the higher temp cos it looks nice and promising.....DOH!!!!!
Why could I not sleep on the critical day that I need my temp to be accurate!!!

Have also been having weird symptoms this month that I don't normally get - mega happy and hyper (2 days before AF is NOT normal), super sensitive nips and excess saliva (nice).

Sorry for the rant but I feel a bit better now and I know what the sensible thing to do is.....wait till tomorrow and try taking my temp properly

How is everyone else on this beautiful morning?

Thanks goingmad not getting my hopes up (well secretly I still am) I don't ovulate until usually day 23 but this month was day 18 so think I am due AF around 28th Feb? Trying to hold out until weds to test..

Well 3dpo am sure is too early! The early tests say 5 or 6 days before *6 due which is usually dpo 9ish (unless cycles all out!)

Hi All - just sneaking over here from the CBFM thread, as I think I may be on the 2WW!

Am currently 10 DPO, but due to late OV in a (normally) 28 day cycle, am currently 2 days late for AF

Maybe my short LP has been extended this month by mother nature to give me a fighting chance???

Anywho, BFN yesterday, have run out of tests - may pop to boots though... otherwise I'm waiting for the delivery of cheapies off net to arrive. Think I should test again Monday if AF not here
