Pull up a chair for the 2ww...

[Tea1Sugar]

Anyone care to join me for this interminable length of waiting time?! I'm only 1 dpo!

Yeah,I'm the same - had ewcm including spotting, raised temp, sore boobs and also positive opk. I'm now 1dpo. How about you?

Well I'm really not sure i noticed the ewcm on Saturday and I've felt a bit achey too also randomly feeling really travel sick in the car but that's probably unrelated!

How many dpo are you? Wondering if we'll be testing around the same time!

I have an app on my phone that says AF is due 8th Sept but I feel like I could have possibly ovulated earlier than what the app says as I'm still uncertain on the length of my cycle!

Me too but af should be about 14 days after ov so looks like its due Sep 3rd for me if my cycle is 'normal'.

Well after coming off the pill I had a bleed 1 week after then my actual period 2 weeks after that so hopefully ill know how long my cycle is this month or can hope for a miracle and get pregnant first time!

Morning all!
I still haven't POAS, waiting til DH is back at the weekend, but... Swollen and achy boobs and WTF - righty is producing colostrum????!!!

AF due on Saturday (if this month is a 31dayer), so definitely testing then.
I mean, really, colostrum???!

long tailed colostrum?!

I would've gobsmacked if you weren't pregnant

You have far greater discipline than me, I would have POAS by now any chance your DH could sneak home earlier??

Fx for you, update us when you get the official bfp

• I would be gobsmacked

Sadly not! He's working a few hours and being put up in a spa hotel the jammy git.
Should be home Friday night, so i shall POAS first thing Saturday, promise!

I just feel a bit apprehensive, it's our first cycle trying, and as DH has been working v long hours 7 days a week we only managed to DTD once, the day I OV! It would be quite flukey to get pregnant that easily.

I only stopped bfing DS a few months ago, so I wondered if the colostrum was related to my boobs 'winding down', but it does seem a bit of a coincidence! Bloody hell that gave me a shock this morning tho.

FX eh? :)

*he's working a few hours away

LTT "Swollen and achy boobs and WTF - righty is producing colostrum????!!!" this sounds very promising! Hoping you have a BFP

twiddles thumbs Sooo.... How's everyone coping with the 2ww? I'm 2 dpo and already symptom spotting, which is ridiculous.

Hi everyone just checking in. I think I'm about 8 or 9 dPO and its driving me mad! i had been feeling queasy for at least the past 5 days but nothing this morning. And now got mild period pains and achy boobs feeling like I'm going mad how soon can I Poas? Think AF is due wed/ thurs.
jones I'm totally symptom spotting like mad!!!

I feel silly though because I'm 2dpo so there must be another, perfectly logical reason why I feel so sick!! The earliest you can check is 9 dpo with certain hpts but a lot of women don't see a result until 12 dpo or even later.

Hey vjones! I'm not 5dpo. Feeling impatient but less today, as I'm keeping busy (making caramel shortbread )

You won't get pregnancy symptoms until you are at least 9-12dpo but you will get symptoms of hormonal changes.

You know how people say about pregnancy symptoms and AF symptoms being the same... Well the days past ov leading up to your implantation (9-12dpo) will be hormonal changes. Bcos your body doesn't know that you are pregnant yet and is just getting you body ready for a period.

Does that make sense?

Hi All... hope everyones doing well and keeping distracted from the endless wait!

VJONES I'm 2pdo too (so now into my second 2ww of the TTC journey) and also going stir crazy! Will be POAS at the same time probably... fx!

right... better do some work rather than scour the web for yet more conception advice!!

I see what you mean. So it'll be a week at least until I get any signs. You're not 5dpo? How many dpo are you? Caramel shortbread sounds yummy.

Bushprincess - am aiming to poas next weekend!

Haha whoops, I meant I'm NOW 5dpo. Bloody thumbs.

Yeah I have made it since I was at school. It's been in for aaaages and I can't seem to get it to go golden. It just stays dough-y colour :/

See there go my thumbs again "haven't made it" not have.

Hello bush (waves)

It's a nightmare having to wait. Have told myself I'll test next weekend but even then it might be a bit early. Grrr.

hmmm... caramel shortbread... any chance of sending some over Jelly? dough-y colour sounds fine by me... anything I bake seems to end up cremated (joys of a crazily hot gas oven that I still can't get the hang of!)

vjones I think I'll POAS on the monday (2nd) should be 13dpo and AF should have shown up if she's going to by then... if you wait till sunday or monday you should be good I think...

ELR only another 3-4 days wait for you to POAS.. good luck holding out!!

Yeah, will try to hang on until Sunday then :(

I know it's hard but try and wait until Af is late. Then you won't be setting yourself up for disappointment or worry, you'll know for certain either way.
