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!

Elr, pms and early pregnancy symptoms are so similar, it's too hard to tell a lot of the time (this wisdom gleaned from google last night, haha), symptom spotting is the worst kind of hope, as you could just be hyper sensitive to your pms symptoms and thinking they're pg symptoms.

I know wispa worst thing is I have my dairy from dd1 who is 10 and its almost identical symptoms so its even worse at getting my hopes up!

Sorry diary!

Congrats Longtail! I am now progressing from spotting to a really light period, I'm not due for another 9 days but am bloated, have a few cramps and am bleeding enough to need a tampon. Sorry if it's TMI but yesterday morning it was really watery and then turned brownish. My nipples have been really sensitive for the past two days and I've had heartburn with every meal. Symptom spotting like crazy!!! Oh well only 5/6 days to wait now!

I'm only 4/5 dpo and I wish it would hurry up! Got a raised temperature today and feeling sick but it's too early for symptoms so don't know what it could be. Driving me mad!

Thanks m'dears! :)

I did another test at 11o'c just cos I do like to be belt and braces about things - the Superdrug cheapy (£3.99 for 2) came back with a much much stronger line, proper dark pink. That's only three hours between pees, and I'd only had two sips of tea and porridge, so basically the same bladder contents.
I had read on here that Superdrug ones were more sensitive - I'd def recommend them. The Boots one was a v v faint line, ie you couldn't see it from a distance, only when holding it.

Congrats! Come and join us on the April antenatal thread

Congratulations Longtail!!!!! How exciting!!!!!!!

Great news, congratulations longtailed !!

ELR I read your post and it is exact symptoms to me, had slight pinkish after dtd last night and this morning. God knows if its a sign!!! No other signs other than tummy cramps??!!

11 days till I can test
.......

Congratulations Longtail :-)

But quesy over here, still just blaming the rotten cold I've had...

Lucy - how many dpo are you? Implantation bleeding happens (if at all) around 9 dpo.

so sorry INTERNATIONALOVE...having glass of wine for you now...also....LONGTAILEDTIT...soooo happy for you!!!!! CONGRATS BIG TIME.... , but also a wee bit ..... wishing you and your fam all the best xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

p.s i've been pregnant 5 times..lost them all but had no spotting at all... or any syptoms to report til about 6-7 weeks so everyone is different...so dont panic if you dont have any syptoms , but if you do...then great ...thats REALLY POSITIVE!!!!!....goodluck xxxx

internationallove this is for you

Aww thanks Layla. xxx
On a serious note though so saddened to hear about your losses. I was devestated after one loss. I can't imagine how much pain you must feel in your heart after 5 losses. Of course all women should be given the wonder gift of becoming a mummy and having someone to love and care for but you especially deserve it. xxxx

I am going to be devastated if I get a bfn but really must stop symptom spotting! Am only 5 dpo and as Layla said, many women have no symptoms at all!!

Sorry for your losses, Layla xx

I would expect you wouldn't have any symptoms whatsoever until implantation, which won't happen until anywhere from 6 to 12 dpo if I remember correctly. I could be wrong, but it's makes sense to me. Until the egg gets to the uterus I wouldn't expect your body to know what's up, would it?

No, you're right, it's 9 days on average. So I guess my symptoms are linked to pill withdrawal.

All this ttc malarky is confusing! I've now got ewcm again, had it last weekend too! Off to a party tonight though so not worth worrying about!

Hi all. Fingers crossed for you ladies. Hope it's ok to jump in, my AF due tomorrow but have been feeling tummy period like but also slightly sharper twitches in my belly low down for over a week. Did the business day 9 and 10 and have a 28 day cycle so I thought a bit early really in my cycle but I just feel a bit weird :-/ what do you think chances are really? Dont usually get such bad pmt symptoms, not had kids so hard to tell! x

You need to look for signs if ovulation or use ovulation prediction tests to help you work out when best to dtd.

Hi LBMarie. It's lovely to have you on board. xxx

I'm pretty sure I ovulate a little later than 14 days...between week 2 and 3 I feel from body changes but it's still possible. Partner works away so only do it when we can/possible anyway. And thanks 985 x

Yeah, always best to use your body as guidance. For example, I ov this month on cd18/19 so I wasn't 'average' either :)
