anyone else in the 2ww but absolutely not symptom spotting this time?

[temperamentalamongcorvids]

Last month I drove myself nuts with symptom spotting and early poas. I had every sign and symptom going and was convinced I was pregnant. Luckily I kept a list of all my many symptoms on a calendar so this time if necessary I can remind myself that pms has all the same same features as early pregnancy.
I'm determined not to test until 23rd, as I think I should come on then if I'm going to, must stay strong!! Anyone want company in ignoring the whole thing?!

I know what you mean wine. I'm feeling really fed up today. Haven't even got out of bed yet cus I'm feeling sorry for myself.

Sorry wine

Yes lara that's about righ. good luck, it'll begin to drive you crazy by next week week.

Hi, I've lurking for the last few weeks. I'm TTC #2 (first cycle) and have symptom spotting like a loon and must stop obsessing. I'm due today but so far no bleed but a BFN so I'm confused and gloomy.

It was much easier with #1 - pregnant second month of trying and I knew nothing so couldn't symptom spot anyway

I'm not sure where I fit in terms of the buses and long term threads. They all seem exclusive and specific to particular conception characteristics at the moment

I'm a MN lurker but rarely post and this is a new account because I forgot my old details

Carrot welcome . Maybe leave it a day or so and re-test first thing in the morning?

Must admit I was like you first time round, didn't know what to expect & no symptom spotting so the pregnancies were a lovely surprise.

Hope you are feeling better doom

Ah wine sorry xx

Hope you're feeling better doom

Hi carrot I knew nothing about ttc, dtd, opks or ewcm at all until I had my miscarriage! I never knew if I was in my tww or not! Sigh well we are all here now anyway, might as well make the best of it!

Thanks guys, sorry about the negativity had a moment of weakness. It ain't over till the witch arrives. :-)

I'm trying not to this month! I'm on day 27 and haven't has one any longer than that since August last year. I've averaged 25 so we shall see.

Can't symptom spot as I haven't had any! I normally get sore boobs but nothing this month. No sign of AF yet but there's always tomorrow! Am tempted to POAS tomorrow morning...

doom I think everybody gets a little down sometimes chick, don't worry about it, we are all in the same boat.

Hi fruity so how many dpo are you? The amount of times I've jiggled my boobs up and down the last few days is getting ridiculous, dh even mentioned it last night!

I'm 14 DPO. My periods settled right back in a rhythm when I came off he pill it's just my partner and I don't seem to DTD at the right times! Both busy workers and tend to crash when we go to bed.

I'm laid in bed right now deciding what to do. I start to feel AF cramps when I do this and shouldn't over think it. I doubt I will get a BFP but I'm just feeling like something could be different this month. I'm probably wrong and AF will arrive shortly in which case onwards and upwards. I'm temping now which is confusing me a bit! I'm very chilled this month so what will be will be.

Hope everyone is doing well this weekend
AF turned up as expected this morning and I'm not sure I feel any better for not having POAS at all.

Ohh well back to DTD after AF and symptom spotting next month before our appointment.

Fx for everyone still waiting stay strong ! I'm off to by some chocolate.

Ugh - hope it's lovely chocolate FortySix

Still waiting for AF (due yesterday), BFN this morning again (Sainsburys own brand).

A bit of snotty, slightly briefing discharge yesterday but nothing since. I'm very confused

-briefing +brownish

Stupid ipad autocorrect

Sorry to hear that forty!! Easter egg chocolate is always best I think lol!!

Still no AF for me and apart from sore boobs I've nothing! Slowly driving myself mad here tbh! Have a job interview tomarow so I'm hoping it will be a distraction!

Epskie have you poas since??

Implantation bleeding Carrot? Give it 2-3 more days and test again if AF doesn't show.

If I ovulated late perhaps, Cleo. Theoretically it would be implantation bleeding on 14 DPO but perhaps if I was a couple of days late this month

Good luck with the interview Spring

Thanks carrot!!! I hope you get bfp! Is your period normally bang on time??

fruity I would definitely poas!

Ah forty hugs! I agree, Easter egg chocolate required!

carrot how do you work out when implantation would have occurred? I mean how do you know that you must've ovulated late if that was implantation bleeding? I know I'm probably missing something really obvious there but I have to ask :-)

spring no more poas for me until af is late! Good luck with the interview!

I woke up with a spot on my face this morning. Ttc'ers in the 2ww - the only people in the world who think 'hoorah I've got a spot on my face!'

Yup, Spring. I'm clockwork normally

Epskie - implantation is normally 6-12 days after ovulation so 14 days DPO would be pretty late unless I ovulated late, and implanted late.

Hi everyone. I'm currently 6dpo and desperately trying not to obsess this month. For the last two tww I had sore boobs and awful nausea. Last month I also had a horrible taste in my mouth. This time nothing, apart from the sore boobs. DH keeps telling me to chill out and stop stressing and I know that he's right but then I start stressing that the stressing will stop it happening! Trying to tell myself that this month isn't the best anyway given that I have three nights out coming up which will all involve wine and so will be obvious to everyone if I don't drink!

Thanks carrot

Hi monkey it's so hard isn't it? I can totally identify with the stressing about stressing! Fingers crossed it's your month too :-)

Looks like you're 1 day behind me monkey. I've been driving myself crazy this month. Was really hungry and thirsty last night. Had a KFC at 4pm and chicken and veg dinner at 8pm, was starving again by 10pm. I also drank 3 large glasses of squash in the space of 15 minutes. Now thinking was I thirsty cus the KFC was salty or something else. All symptoms gone again this morning. Also had a few af like cramps in the week and tingly boobs, but these are gone completely now. Grrr stop symptom spotting doom!!!

Who has tests in the house?? I'm point blank refusing to buy any more until at least wed!!!!

I have one left. I'm going to try to leave it a few days before using it.
