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 signed in to make my first post on Mumsnet to say: Yes! I'm in too. I had the Implanon out about three weeks ago. A week ago I had "for sure" symptoms, nausea, metallic taste, off coffee.... PedOAS a couple of times... Drove my partner crazy...... AF arrived 4 days ago. I will try my best to wait until April 12th to POAS again.

Welcome afloat! Sounds like you'll be right at home with the rest of us

welcome aboad afloat

And happy birthday, woolly! Have a great holiday and do not learn the Portuguese for "1 pack of pregnancy tests Please"

Can I join please? Every month I find a new 'symptom' and decide this is the one way to tell! Not this month tho. I'm not testing until 23rd.

Happy birthday woolly! Have fun in Portugal.
CD25 and 2nd day of pink. Think it's probably too long to be implantation bleed now and have started to feel the heaviness in my tummy - guess AF is really coming this is cycle #5 since we started - conceived straight away in cycles #1&2 though mc'd. Guess even though each AF visit is so disappointing it's still better than another mc...

gakay fingers crossed for the next cycle.

I'm triyng to look at each af as one nearer my bfp, altho I managed to convince myself I had every symptom going last month.

Willing myself to think of anything but.

Good luck everyone and have a fabulous trip to Portugal Woolly, rather jealous, hope the weather is beautiful for you and it's a wodnerful break.

gakay sorry to hear that, and about your mcs. It makes it all so much harder. Good for you for staying positive and keeping your resolve!

I'm at work today and tomorrow, which keeps me from obsessing. I hate my job though - it's another reason I really want to get knocked up soon! The pregnancy I lost in December would have meant that I could leave by June, and it's hard not to think of it.

And hi Jessica!

Am also holding out till the 23rd at the earliest.

Well I'm out - AF arrived this morning. A bit disappointed but not massively since it's still early days. Plus every month it doesn't happen means extra savings so I can actually afford it when it does!

Good luck to the rest of you

That's rubbish lily. Also, when you get your bfp next cycle, that'll mean you will have a Christmas baby.

I'm feeling quite proud of myself! I really nearly tested this morning (7dpo) but I held off. Got a 12 hour day today (parents evening) so hopefully that will keep by mind off symptom spotting.

A very good point jessica

Well done on the self control and good luck with the long day! I'm sure it'll keep you more than busy enough to distract you

good luck for the next cycle lily.

Think I've caught the office bug, so that's keeping me occupied!

Realistically, how early would symptoms appear DPO?

I was thinking back to when I had my girls and the first sign for me was bleeding gums, really badly bleeding gums when brushing my teeth (obviously haven't been watching intently for just this....).

Hi please can I join? 3rd cycle TTC, 2 dpo. I also do multiple pos'ing and symptom spotting

I've found this has helped my restrain myself:

whenmybaby.com/implantation-doubling-calculator.php

It tells you when you're likely to get a positive hpt based on hcg levels, includes data for different implantation dates, and different hcg doubling rates. So according to that I will still only have about a 50% chance of getting a bfp on Monday, even if I am upduffed!

Ahhhh AF due tomorrow....I have one test in the house!!! Must resist urge.....

I've got a tiny bit of spotting today and af type cramps, also the damp feeling that comes before af. It's a bit early as not due on till Monday but feels like af not anything else.

can i join please

44 last week, cycle #18 TTC for number 6. have driven myself to distraction the past 18 months symptom spotting, so this month, no OPK's, no fertility monitor, no fertility friend or period watcher app.....and im trying SO hard not to 'spot' that my boobs are STILL killing me with pain and fizzy tingling and have been since O day (currently 6dpo)

hate this TWW....lasts longer than the week before christmas when you were little!

Good luck Sleepy and Tempramental.

Has anyone here looed at joining the clearblue trying to conceive study? I filled in the forms a couple of days ago and they're going to call me today (hoping they'll send me tests so I can POAS to my hearts content!)

fatty hello and welcome.

fuzzy I'm not sure that being in a trial like that would be any good for my state of mind! But let us know if you get on it, sounds interesting.

By the way, my last post sounded like I'm symptom spotting but I must most emphatically assert that I am not

Oops tested

BFP!!!

I'm in total shock we have been so lucky!

That's like the clearest positive I've ever seen! So happy

Good luck girls! I hope there are more to come!
I've literally had no symptoms except for heartburn in the evenings which was unusual.

I got a call back, I need to sign and email the consent forms and I've been accepted on the trial.

Apparently I will get OPK's and pregnancy tests and I need to take urine samples every morning and fill in a diary and send them back to them (they supply all the postage and containers etc). They also pay in high street vouchers after the trial is completed. It covers one cycle.

Hopefully if I'm pregnant I'll need to let them know and return the things they send.

here if any of you lovely ladies is interested.

Yeay Sleepy, congratulations

sleepy!!! Yippee!!

Thanks so much I'm still shaking and can't stop looking at the test!
