On the 2ww...

Anyone want to wait with me. I'm 4dpo today. Please join me :)

Hi all, I'm new to all this but have been reading your thread and it's made me feel so much better knowing that I'm not the only one going through this!!

DH and I have only this month talk about TTC #1. I'm not sure of the exact dates or length of my cycle yet but the most recent AF dates I do remember was starting on 14th Feb so this is the only thing I have to go on at the moment and I'm guessing that I was probably most fertile around the end April/beginning of this month.

Since Saturday I have been driving myself crazy symptom spotting. Mainly I noticed a bloated feeling across my tummy (though I feel like it's in my bellybutton area, and I can't help but feel it should be lower?) and occasional pinching in my left ovary, as well as occasional bouts of quesiness. My BBs feel the same as usual. Yesterday was the final straw when I experienced a migraine (which usually only comes occasionally just before AF starts, I think triggered by the hormones). About an hour after it started my left hand went completely numb with pins and needles. I didn't want to take usual migraine tabs, as by this point I had convinced myself I was pregnant and didn't want to jeopardize it in any way. Sooo...

Although I was planning to wait till around the 16th to do a test, following this I was so convinced that this is it that I went out and bought one straight away. My sister said she only ever has migraines when in v. early pregnancy. I took test first thing this morning and.... it cam up BFN!!!!!!!

Now my question is:

If I don't have enough HcG in my system to produce even a faint BFP, am I imagining or reading too much into these "symptoms"???

I was soooo convinced that I was, but now this has really made me doubt myself and think mayb I'm just noticing things that I would normally take no notice of. I wish I hadn't taken the test after all and held off as now I dread re-testing and getting another BFN.

This is only my first month and already I feel like it's making me a little bit crazy.

Any thoughts on my question / symptoms would b much appreciated xxx

Hullkat that is so weird we are having dreams with similar content too. Just caved and poas fancied there was a very faint line. Anyone else see it or is it just my mad eyes?!

Have had this before and it not come to anything so not holding out to much hope. Wasn't fmu either though. Wow, who I am trying to kid! ? It's probably just a mark on the strip lol

Looks like a line to me!!!! Eeeek exciting! You just have to do another in the morning :) I'm not a firm believer in FMU x

Also not ignoring you obsessed1. I just got a bit excited about the stick picture ;)

I do believe that you can have symptoms before you are producing Hcg after all there are things going on down there!

The 16th is a while away. If I were you I would test again in a couple of days.

Hope that helps and don't give up hope :)

Thanks Squeakybeaky, it is helpful and especially to know others are going through th waiting game also.
KitKat, that's so exciting!! Congratulations to you x

Thanks for replying guys! I'm not getting my hopes up just yet though as this has happened before with a cheapie and been nothing.
Excited to test again 2moro and see what it looks like though. Will keep you updated and glad it's not just me seeing things!!

I too will try and put a pic on in the morning. I hope it's a little darker for you in the morning and for me. I am going to do an FRER on Monday morning. X

I be 9dpo 2moro squeaky so it will be good to compare our lines!! Although I may not have one 2moro if it was a dodgy test

You won't sleep tonight ha ha

Think it was a false alarm girlie's. Have done another and bfn :( bad mood Saturday night now!! I remember why I was trying to hold of doing it now.

Looks promising kitkat!! FX for you, no AF for me today. We could still be in there :-) all the best, I'll see how you get on tomorrow.

Hang on in there obsessed1, looks like you're at the same stage as me, good luck x

Just cause it's a BFN could still be way too early! Hang on in there x

Thanks Hullkat :) glad af stayed away for you :) x

Yeah could be just too early. Wait a couple of days Hun x

I'm going to do a first response test tomorrow as my AF is due on Friday......cannot sleep! Good luck all!

X

Arghhh, negative but maybe too early? Now beginning to think I'm not! X

Morning everyone! ANymore lines this morning??? I held out in Boots and didn't buy any. First think I thought when I woke up this morning was i want to POAS. I've realised there is no way I will make it all the way to next Sat if AF doesn't come so I've moved testing date forward to Thursday!

I could see the line on your test Kitkat and the next one could have been neg as too early, so I have my fx for you this morning. Negs are so depressing

Hi obsessed have you come off the pill recently? This can cause weird symptoms. Or maybe you just have very low levels of hcg so won't show up on a test yet. Like squeaky said I would test again in a few days or a week if you can hold off that long (i know it's hard!)

Hi newbie, our posts crossed. Sorry to hear about your BFN. How many dpo are you?

Lady I'm taking inspiration from you and holding out! Plus am racing (runner) today so need no excuses not to push myself!

Any news girlies?!

Ah, thanks climbergirl! When is your af/bfp due? When do you think you will test? Good luck on your race today. Wanting to drink beer last night helped me stay away from the sticks. Not quite as virtuous reason!!

Ahhh, this really does your head in!!!

Ladyflower, I had the implanon stick removed in Jan this year. I have been desperate for a baby for the last year (am now 34 and feel my clock ticking) but DH said he wanted to wait till we manage to save enough to move into a house (we live in 1bed flat). Now we've decided to let nature take it's course... I can think of NOTHING else, lol.

Thanks Hullcat, yes I think I might be at the same point as you, though it's very frustrating that I don't know my exact dates. I wish I'd been keeping track of them.

Morning girls, I had another faint line this morning on a cheapie. Less of a squinter though which is exciting. I will do an FRER in the morning when I'll be 10 DPO.

Any news katy?

Newbie dont lose hope just coz it was a bfn. It's still really early x

Morning Everyone!
Well, it's a BFN for me again, and just been to the loo and there's some light brown/pinky CM, still nowhere near calling dark enough to be a period, but she may be on her broomstick on her way
Woken up feeling very sick and with a banging headache.

My last AF was 14th Apr and ov was between 23-27th Apr. we dtd more or less every day from 21-29, so we did all we could I suppose.

I have never had symptoms like this before in my life, which I'm still getting, I might add. If I was a betting girl, my money would have been on a BFP, but no! I don't think I can go through this every month, it will drive me mad!!

So, anyhow.......I just wanted to say that the waiting game is a killer, and even though this is my first month going through this, I have learned that I will just have to wait until after AF is due, as the BFN disappointment won't be doing us all any good.

So, what symptoms have people been noticing the last couple of days? Any good news from anyone? Xx

Ooooh squeaky that's fab news x
