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?!

Don't panic though the test might not be as sensitive as the other one you used.

If I can hold off till Easter Sunday I will be very pleased!

I know digis aren't as sensitive as other tests so I'm not overly worried

We could get away with testing as early as next Thursday, that'd be 11dpo, but could get false negatives that early so better to wait till Sunday/Monday.

I'm out. Feels like it took forever for af to turn up! Had a mini meltdown yesterday feeling sad about the one I lost in December, I haven't really taken much time to do that so it's a good thing. Back to square one, going on a major health kick this month, it at least makes me feel as though I'm doing something!

Good luck today proud and all the easter testers

Oh temperamental I hope you're okay lovely, sorry AF has turned up and yes it is so important to grieve properly. I hope you feel better soon. Look after yourself x

Good luck Temperamental, it is absolutely important to grieve. Sounds like a really good idea to go on a health kick too, I've been trying to be healthier too.

Think age is catching up with me, I've done something to my back, it is so painful, hurts to sit or stand, not so bad walking (thankfully) please don't let it be anything serious it's a dull ache, have had it since yesterday.

Got my BFP this morning on a FRER 13 DPO will post pictures later!

That's awesome proud, congratulations! Hope you have an easy and stress-free 9 months.

I'm out for this month. AF arrived, so I'm going to console myself with some wine this evening.

Congrats proud that's awesome news!!
fuzzy hope your back feels better soon.
jessica sorry AF got you, definitely treat yourself to some

Sorry to those who are out, af is certainly a bitch!

Clear blue digital pregnancy tests say you can test up to 4 days before your period but I've heard people saying they aren't as sensitive - how does that work? Which tests will you all be using? I don't want to test too early in case of chemical

BFP

Epskie I was wondering that, the tests don't actually show how much of the HCG hormone they test.

I'm going to test tomorrow (feeling scared), as well as bad back and today hot flushes everyone in the office is looking at me strangely as I'm usually wrapped up in thick cardigans!
Thanks Woolly hope my back clears up too.

I read all this ages ago and I think it's 50 mui or thereabouts, the Internet cheapies I always use are supposed to be 10 but they are probably not, and first response ones something like 25.

Thanks Terry what does mui mean? Is the general consensus that internet cheapies are the best?

I'm not entirely sure tbh, must be the amount in your urine.

The cheap ones have mixed reviews but I've found them ok.. The best ones I think are first response..

As you can tell I spend too long weeing on sticks hence trying to behave this month!

Haha - we are all poas addicts!

I think I burned through a pack of 20 cheapies last month, I had a line on one so was convinced I was pg but it must have been an evap or something.

Ah that's disappointing for you :-(

I am absolutely NOT symptom spotting but I feel a tugging behind my belly button - any ideas? Or just something random and moot to obsess over? :-S

Epskie, I've been having some little twinges a bit like Af pains. Sharp ones near cervix. Hope it's a good sign as she's not due for over a week

Have you seen countdown to pregnancy?

You can put your DPO in and it tells you common symptoms and the percentage of actual pregnant people that got a positive test the same DPO.

It's a bad place for obsessive symptom spotters though. Bet I'll be on there again

I'm totally fine all month, the minute I enter 2ww I go bananas.

Terry I have searched for that app and can't find it, is it definitely called that?

It's a website, try it in google..

You know...the TWW is bad enough... But the real killer...that last 2 days before AF is due and you pray silently every time just before you pull you knickers down for a wee/wipe after a wee that 'she' hasn't arrived.....

I'm not going to symptom spot! I'm not going to symptom spot! I'm not going to symptom spot.......apart from the extreme tiredness and exhaustion and mild cramps I'm having and bloating lol!!!! I looked up that website terry...... And I could've swore I had all the signs lol!!
