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?!

It's lovely to be back!

So, who's due to test this week?

I tested this morning (16dpo) and BFN but no AF, the joys of ttc!

I'm now in the TWW again and not that hopeful. I will absolutely not be symptom spotting (this is a total lie) this time after being a loon last month

My tww starts again, hey Carrotvan we meet again. Only got to BD once during my fertile week, 2 days before ovulation this month.

Ovulated yesterday according to my app and confirmed as opk was +ve yesterday morning but back at -ve by the evening.

I tried to seduce him one last time last night for good measure, but he was a bit drunk and tired so didn't finish the job ahem!

Just keep telling myself it only takes 1 sperm!

Hi Doom good to see you!

Telling myself the same thing, we didn't manage on the day of ov, but the day before and 2 days before that, and 3 days before that too. So hopefully a few of the swimmers were in the right place at the crucial point.

Anyone still around? This post has gone very quiet!

I'm still here Doom. First day of the tww for me today. I'm not feeling positive about this month. Not sure why, managed to BD the two days before ovulation, I've just not felt good about this month since last AF. Anyway, not feeling positive doesn't stop me drinking the Pom juice, eating spoonfuls of Manuka honey and taking millions of different supplements. I'm not sure how long I can afford to keep trying ttc!

I'm finding it hard to think positive. Probably a defence mechanism against disappointment. What are your plans to keep busy and not obsessively symptom spot?

I'm 13dpo with a weeks worth of spotting on and off, cramping, peeing like a racehorse, super thirsty and my skin is terrible .. But BFN.
I think I'm out tbh...

I'm still here, currently waiting the arrival of Af, I've had spotting the last couple of days so she'll be arriving anytime. I'm definitely out this month as did a first response on.Friday which was Negative.

Good luck to everybody else in.the tww xxx

I'm 12dpo and I am SO sick of this wait. Tested at 10dpo and BFN, haven't tested since.

can I join? day 3 of 2ww so bit of wait to go - its so hard! Doom I guess I'm trying to distract by throwing myself into work - not best idea I'm sure as that doesnt help with the whole trying to be relaxed to keep the hormones balanced!

I'm on day 3 too strawb, testing on the 28th, I think. I've got a massively busy week coming up and a houseguest next weekend, which takes me almost up to af/testing day so I hope I'll be able to refrain from obsessing over imaginary symptoms.

Perhaps we should all report back on our most effective self-distraction activities!

I'm starting a night school dressmaking class on Wednesday and going to the gym, how about the rest of you?

I'm currently procrastinating but will soon be doing some planting in the garden and then an exciting visit to the osteopath who I hope will be able to soothe the screaming pain in my shoulder. What do you plan to make Doom?

I caved and did a FRER. BFN. Think I'm out for this month :-(

I have no idea, why don't you suggest something?

Hi all I'm back on the tww again 8 dpi have horrible sore swollen boobs (normally get them just prior to AF never normally this early )
Trying to convince myself it's just AF working her evil . Don't want to get hopefully we're in the process of refer all appointments for fertility treatment so pointless having that hope but bloody hell it's hard to squash.

Hope everyone is doing okay? Let's hope for some more positives this time round fingers crossed for everyone waiting.

Sorry auto correct made a royal hash of those spellings

Mayo sorry to hear that and that its getting to you.hugs in your direction x

mayo I'm sorry. Be gentle with yourself.

doom teacosy? A line skirt? Playsuit? I can't sew at all so really have no idea where you might start

I'm out. Period arrived. Really thought this month was the one, too.

running sorry to hear that hug

doom I've always fancied making one of those jacket dress things they look so smart . But I always end up looking like a sack of potatoes tied up in the middle .

Feel a bit low today not sure why just woke up feeling really sad like I'm wasting my time me with this whole effort getting excited and symptom spotting need a swift kick up the bottom I think
