Tww starts tomorrow!

[Birdtable]

Anyone else?? Ovulation yesterday and today and been dtd lots!! Ttc #2 2cycle. Let's hope we get our bfp!!

[GandTnow]

Well said pinpan! Had to run to the toilet this morning so I didn't stop off to get a stick to wee on! 7dpo and counting!

[CatRen27]

Yes pinpan! I like it!

[Katybear123]

Hi guys can I join you I'm in 2ww, due af on 9th. Trying not to symptom spot but I to have sore nipples v odd not had that before and last weekend I went completely off booze. Am praying I might be lucky as this is 1st month ttc, after being on pill for 15yrs! Not getting hopes up but defo waiting till after af due. Having a v tough time at work right now but can't leave due to ttc and therefore potentially losing mat leave, so feeling a bit trapped therefore worried if I get a negative I might b v down. Anyway trying to stay optimising but realistic this is my plan :-)

[ladyflower23]

Remember if you get the urge to POAS early you have to post here and a member of the support team will talk you out of it!! I like your POAS jar idea pinpan. Can the proceeds be used for wine as well as chocolate?
Welcome katybear. Your symptoms sound promising to me!

[Katybear123]

Ah thanks lady flower I am going to do a little hope dance :-). No poas till next week for me. X

[RedBunny]

I am all day having the urge to POAS!!! When is it we have to hold off til? 12dpo?? Definitely? Not 10?? I don't know why I even want to try. I usually don't get a positive til 12dpo anyway!!! If we can do the symptom spotting instead, I am most optimistic because although all my symptoms can also just be before AF, I have sore boobs!!! Which I never have before AF! I am sooo hoping that it's because of a pregnancy rather than some new annoying PMS thing I've gotten.... You all are like so hardcore to resist testing! But realistically aren't you not meant to get symptoms until you're also able to get a BFP?

[Katybear123]

Hey redbunny, you could be right re it being to early for symptoms but hey who knows, as you say all the symptoms can also be af. I guess only time will tell.x

[Fruityb]

Waiting till Saturday.... Think it will break my heart again if AF shows again. Trying not to think too much about it!

[Fruityb]

I'm currently 10 dpo and am feeling so dizzy and wobbly on my feet. My boobs feel enormous and I'm really quite bloated, as well as wanting to eat myself out of house and home!!

Of course this could all just be pre AF symptoms. But I've not had this dizziness before, it's really weird! Well Saturday draws ever closer, I hope it's good news.

[Hibou7688]

can I join?! tww for me now, providing I did ov, I'm now 4dpo. had a few crampy feelings today, doubting whether I've ov'd late or if it's something more exciting.

[Fruityb]

I just checked my app for cycle history and such. I'm in day 25 tomorrow, and out of 8 cycles I've only had 3 go to longer than 25. So it's actually tomorrow I'm going to be nervous. I'm not going to POAS till after the weekend (unless I can't wait!)

[Katybear123]

Hi hibou welcome. Good luck fruityb, I am due on mon so going to wait till wed- fri to test I think. Just be to hard to poas then head off to work whether it's a bfp or bfn

[pinpan]

ladyflower, yes, I see no reason why the POAS jar can't be used for wine. And yes Redbunny, 12 days! Just because. I have done a lot of googling on whether you can have symptoms before you can POAS and so I am an expert. The consensus seems to be a big vague shoulder-shrugging maybe. I was woken by DD a heap of times last night and ended up devouring rice krispies at 2 am because I was starving, and then I was starving again at 7 am - this is proof I am pregnant, yes? (Think I am about 3 dpo, ha.) I've got my fingers crossed for Fruityb though, sounds promising! (Hi Hibou! )

[ladyflower23]

MOrning everyone. Another day of symptom spotting begins. Still no PMT for me and always have it by now. More EWCM yesterday so am wondering if ovulating late. I wanted to DTD last night just in case, but just could not face doing it again!!!!! I'm going to have to get some sex toys or something for the next month to spice things up. Difficult to keep it exciting when you've been together 100 years and are doing it because my cervical mucus says so. Lush!
I will be thinking of you today Fruity and keeping everything crossed that AF does not appear. It does sound positive though (dizziness was one of my first symptoms with DS) so I am hoping that we get our first BFP of the thread next week No pressure!

[blankfornames]

Good morning Ladies. I love the POAS Anonymous Support Group. Let me begin, My name is Blankfornames and it has been 7 days since I POAS!! I woke up again with a ferocious headache (all the same symptoms as day before AF arrives) but she's not due till next Thursday. I walked into the kitchen this morning and almost heaved as (after much searching) I found a gone off piece of broccoli behind the fruit bowl. DH smelled nothing. Now, I know I'm being crazy as there's no way my smell would be heightened this early but DH will be away most of the weekend leaving me loads of time to POAS. HELP!! I'm nearly convincing myself that I'm upduffed and I'm so afraid that I'm letting myself in for such a fall. What To Do?!!! Ok... Lady rant over! Best of Luck Fruity and everyone! Hope June is a very exciting month for y'all!

[pinpan]

Don't do it blank! I was in the supermarket this morning and had to actively stop myself buying more sticks. I have 2 in the house, that is plenty, I said to myself. Oh, but if I had more I could POAS more times, said inner-pinpan, who is a very bad influence. No! said stern pinpan, don't do it. And I didn't. But I reeeeeeally wanted to. I think the hardest bit is feeling so convinced that this month will be the month, but at the same time being scared that if you think about it too much it will jinx it. Keep having to tell myself that it is what it is (and inner pinpan is totally not convinced).

We should keep POAS-anonymous going until we've all had a bfp, and then each month there'll always be some people celebrating and some people to commiserate with.

[CatRen27]

I'm TOTES going to need a support group until a bfp ladies! Woke up exhausted today after 8 hours sleep, and still feeling dizzy and bit sick. Although is this just a Friday feeling?? Stay strong all, and happy friday!

[RedBunny]

Morning all!! Today I am 9dpo so only three more til I'm allowed by this thread to test!! Is anybody else testing Monday too? It's very hard to hold off testing early. I know realistically it's so unlikely to get a BFP so early but I can't help but think how exciting it would be if I did!! What is helping though is the first response I ordered haven't arrived yet. If they were available it'd be way too hard. How do you have actual sticks pinpan and NOT use them???

[newbie6]

Hi all,

Well I am totally useless and beyond help as at either 7 or 8 dpo I POAS this morning also! They are cheap internet early preg sticks and there was a very VERY faint part of a line, husband agreed but given it is only showing a VERY small part of a line I'm not sure if it's a negative or a positive. I've decided to remain positive and can officially do the FRER test tomorrow as I will be 6 days from when AF is due. God I can feel the disappointment looming already but for now I shall try and remain optimistic! Symptoms wise, I feel tired but then I am always tired and think my boobs are a little sensitive but not all the time.....think I am over thinking! Good luck all! X

[pinpan]

Exciting newbie! Hope it really is a line. I've decided that everyone with real or imagined symptoms gets to be pregnant this month (yes, it's that simple). That's all of us then! I'm exhausted too, but I've been exhausted since I got pregnant with DD (so, for 2.5 years) and I'm not sure I'd notice if I was extra-pregnant exhausted anyway.

RedBunny, I am scared of the sticks. Last cycle I obsessed myself into being sure it had worked, and tested 6 days before AF. BFN, and then I got spotting THAT VERY DAY and AF turned up in earnest two days later. Then it was only heavy for a day instead of the usual 4, so (still obsessed) I had to check it was still BFN after it finished, just in case. Convinced that I jinxed it. The trouble is, now I don't have a clue when AF should be due this time round (but not before 20th I don't think). Would you count from when spotting starts (I usually get it for a couple of days) or from proper flow?

[Katybear123]

Hey all, I love that we are all as fixated as the next and pin pan I love your positive thought we are all up duff. I am due af mon but think will wait till end of wk to test I know I am OCD and therefore I fear if I start now I won't stop and will stress beyond normal. I still have sensitive nipples tmi and metalic taste and I think I have to much saliva but I may well be imagining the last 2 so will have to wait and see :-)

[RedBunny]

Yeah last month I was pretty awful about testing. I just felt certain I ought to be pregnant because I figured it was about time to get a take home baby, two people I know had just announced their pregnancies due the same time as mine should have been, so I just kept testing every day. Spent ££££ on tests and all were negative obviously and I just was so mad!! And yet I still want to keep testing this month, spend ££ on tests and be miserable about negatives even though it's too early to be accurate anyway!! Husband wants me to POAS as soon as they arrive. So hopefully they won't get here til Monday!! But yes let's be optimistic that we ALL will get our BFPs!! It'd just be so great if we could have a big end of thread celebration of it!! And no idea about wether to count AF as starting from spotting. I have the fertility friend app and although I put in when I was spotting that didn't count it as my actual AF... Do you know when you ovulated?

[Katybear123]

Hi redbunny, good luck it's so hard isn't it. No idea when I ovulated been on pill forever and this is first month ttc to could have been anytime. Using ff so thought it was earlier in cycle but then thought I had ewcm on day 20 which seems late but was sure it was! Who knows !

[ladyflower23]

Hey everyone. I have had my first strong urges to POAS this evening at a absolute MAX of 8 dpo, as I don't even know when/if I ov'd this cycle but I have managed not to give in and am now having a beer to calm myself.
Good luck for tomorrow Newbie! I am very excited to hear the results (even though you are breaking the 12 day rule )
I'm not sure about the spotting thing pinpan, I am always full into it.
It would be the loveliest thing in the world if we all BFP'd on this thread. We would have to throw a big real life party and spend all the POAS jar money on non-alcoholic beverages.
Either way POAS Anonymous must continue! Do OPKs count?!

[blankfornames]

Everything crossed for you Newbie! Here's to hoping that you kick start this amazing thread with a BFP tomorrow!!
