Another 2ww thread!!!!!

[MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong]

Hi everyone. I'm about to embark on another 2ww (ovulating today) and wondered if there was anyone else out there in the same position who wanted to come along for the ride!

Only cycle 2 TTC #2 but took 13 months last time so crossing everything!!

scarymartian fx for you x

Morning! Bfn with fmu on cb digi. Had a few drops of red blood last night so waiting for AF to kick in.

Either yesterday's bfp showed a chem pg or they were just nasty evaps (did 2 sainsburys tests in the end- both faint bfps).

Onwards and upwards!

Morning- scary so sorry for the BFN it really does suck. Just a word of caution though, blue dye tests are notoriously bad at giving false hope and can give definite blue evap lines. I steer clear of these if I can and only use if I have no other choice (which is what I'm presuming you did). We will do it next cycle grrrrrrr!!!

I had another BFNS so I now know I'm out. Hag will be here sometime Monday. Next month I'm not testing until AF is well and truly late as I've spent a fortune this month and it's heartbreaking seeing no second line time and time again.

Big hugs scary

Cd 29 no af and bfn yesterday. As this is first cycle ttc after dd still not sure if or when I ovulated. Only monitored cm. had loads of ewcm for the past week so possible I have only just ovulated. I only breastfeeding once a day now so hopefully af will arrive soon so we can get on with it. Feel daft but I'm going to do another hpt today. I don't think anyone would get a bfn on cd28 and go on to get a bfp.

Argh my.body's a duche just done a ovu test ( don't really know why) and it's come up positive! Dient think I'd had a period! Apparently my one day bleed was it! Making my cycle 18 days long I'm usually 40+

Grr

Thanks for your support everyone. It really helps to talk about it on here as don't want to share with anyone in rl and dh doesn't quite understand.

AF still hasn't properly appeared, just brown discharge with the odd smear of red (sorry). I think I have to accept that this months period is a bit out of the norm. Would like it to stop or even start properly so I can get cracking with the next cycle!

So sorry about your bfns mooley, I still have my fx for you but I know how utterly shit it all is. I personally think it is far more disappointing to see a bfn than it is to get AF. At least with AF you know that it's the start of the next cycle so you can start planning. Early pg tests are the work of the devil and I'm sure the manufacturers make the majority of their money from people like us who just can't help to POAS.

Anyway, have some and some and enjoy your weekend. Dh and I are getting a dominos tonight I am so excited!!

Coffee- let us know how the hpt goes. Did you manage to dtd in case you were ov'ing last week?

Whit, sorry you are also experiencing the messed up cycles. Make sure you dtd today anyway going by those opks!

Boo, so sorry to hear about the BFN scary . Hope you have a relaxing evening and enjoy the pizza.

Can I ask a quick general question too? Which preg tests would you recommend? I think I have one First Response lurking in my drawer but that's about it. Feeling the need to buy a couple although am worries they might be too tempting...

I'm so sorry about your news scary. I'd test again in a week my mom carried on having monthly bleeds till she was 7 months with me so you never know xxx we put our self;es under such pressure. Every month I'm keeping all my. Fingers crossed for u hunny xx

59sound if you are like many of us and a POAS addixt I would get the cheaply brands, superdrug/boots.... I haven't tried internet sticks but thy are really cheap! Then maybe have a clearblue digital for when the moment comes and you need to confirm a BFP . I have realised I have spent already £50 worth of testers this month which resulted on BFN so I would strongly suggest cheaper versions!

For my 2nd cycle I am not going to buy any and will try and hold out until AF is due before testing so not going to happen

Morning ladies. Well cramping has started and my temp dropped well below the cover line so AF is imminent.

candy I'm with you on not POing on anything until a few days before the hag is due. I'm going to get hold of a load of OV sticks (the last lot came with 10 free pee sticks too!)

I second what ours have said on pee sticks. FRER are prob one of the best but if you want to start the crazy early testing that we all do then the ICs from Amazon are great. I then also get a digi for when I need confirmation in words :)

Morning!

Mooley- boo to AF cramps and temp dip.

I agree with others- frers are great. Avoid sainsburys cheapys after my two possibly false positives. As mooley prev said try and steer clear of blue dye tests.

The internet cheapys are great from amazon and I got my bfp with DS at 9 dpo on one, confirmed by a frer the next day.

Well, after 5 days of much faffing around and sending me on a huge emotional roller coaster my AF finally arrived this morning properly, 2 days late. I have had a proper cry to get it out of my system. At least now I can move on.

I think things have been made a little more difficult by the fact that sil announced her 2nd pregnancy today. I'm obviously thrilled for her but on a selfish note the timing obviously sucks.

I'm off to order some preseed!

Hello. What's an FMU? I've got the hang of a lot of the baby talk but not that one!
I'm 13 days away from POAS. had really bad cramps in my left today and yesterday. So hoping we've got a bean!
Fingers crosses everyone! Xx

Baffers FMU = first morning urine.

How long is your LP usually? It seems a little early for the cramps to be related to anything beany.......more likely that its from ovulation. Implantation doesn't happen until between 6-12dpo, with 9 being about the average.

Hag whore arrived in full force.......a day early. BITCH!!!!

Monkey- I'm not sure to be honest. This is out first month trying and I've made life hard for myself. I stopped the pill on 19th august8 days in to a pick. Had a little withdrawal bleed and now I'm here. I ran June and July pills back to back due to travelling so my last period was back in June. :(
May start temping to get a better grip I think I ovulated last month as I had the EECM then and ovia (even with the funky dates) put me in my fertile period then, not sure how good it is though!
I may start temping to get a better handle on things.

Think I'm just coming out of ov period did test.on stick this morning was very light. I've never tempt can any one give me more details

Sooo AF is due sat/sun when's the earliest I can test using a first response????

Hello all.

Mooley sorry the witch got you. Next month WILL be our month.

Def try temping baffers, it takes a lot of the guess work away once you get the hang of it.

Whit- there are a lot of good books re: temping. I swear by Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler. Explains it all there. Or I think wharm linked another up thread somewhere.
Or you can just Google 'basal body temperature charting' and I'm sure you will get all the info you need but it's basically taking your temp every morning when you wake up, before you've even moved. The theory is that your temps are on the low end of the chart before you ov, then once you ov they jump up to the higher end of the chart where they stay until the day of AF when they drop or if you are pg they remain high all the way through. Temps are no good for predicting ov- that's where looking at cm and opks are good but they do tell you when you have o'd which is handy when you want to rest from dtd!

Hellohello, I think you can test as early as 4 days before with a frer? Not sure but maybe try Weds/Thursday?

I am going to try and refrain from testing until AF really is late. Not sure my head or heart can deal with another 'bfp' only for AF to show up anyway.

I am experiencing the mother of all periods and was floored by the cramping yesterday, worse than I've ever had. Nice way to ram home the 'not pregnant'!

I've been coping by eating chocolate (obvs) and forming a plan for increasing ewcm next cycle. I'm basically going to drink grapefruit juice until it comes out of my ears.

I have been wondering also, if I did have a chemical pregnancy (I'll never know for sure) does anyone know if this will have an effect on my next cycle or is it basically just business as normal?

Oh god, didn't realise how long that was.

Just a short one from me to say scary when I m/c before my DD i m/c'd in the April and conceived in the July. It shouldn't have a big affect as your period will have arrived virtual on time anyway. CPs happen because the sticky bean just didn't bed in properly or implanted too late to be viable.

I too had horrendous AF pains. Bloody hag whore can do one.

WE WIL GET PREGNANT THIS CYCLE. CD2 here so about 16 days to go until ov whoop. :)

Morning ladies, hope you're all feeling ok. Just wanted to say thank you for the advice on which tests to buy. Am holding off for now but only a few days to go - eek. Have not one symptom really so not holding out much hope. Hey ho...

I feel exactely the same 59sound :(
Fingres crossed x

Hi- hope you don't mind me commenting but I think I'm going crazy & need some advice! TTC DC2, with the 1st wasn't even trying & got pg right away this time I'm defo TTC and it's the 1st month so looking for those symptoms that might indicate BFP but I tested 9dpo & today, 11dpo with CB digital & BFN! Utterly confused!! My cycles are all over, I can go months at a time with no AF but August AF was present so went for it & according to an app I conceived 12th Sept, if indeed I did, so am I in fact testing too early?

So far I feel
*sensitive nips
*i can smell my neighbours smoking!

• I cried at stupid stuff (defo not like me) *retched @ the squelching of Mayo bring scooped from the jar!!

But can all these be in my head! With my 1st I was over 10 wks gone when I found out I was pg but I thought I had the flu then! ??

Hi Sebysmamy. Maybe try testing agin with a more sensitive test? Something like a frer or superdrugs own? Good luck.

Thank you ScaryMartian xx
