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'm out, AF showed at around 4am three days late.

Ah fuzzy big hugs and and for you, what a bitch xx

spring and Terry I don't think I'm working that site correctly - I've found it and signed up etc but I can't seem to find the symptom part - any ideas?

Mind, I've been dead felled with a horrible case of flu so any symptoms I do have, I feel I can't trust anyway.

epskie I didn't sign up or anything? There is a toolbar along the top and it says symptoms i think I just clicked on it and then followed other links??

I don't want to symptom spot. I am going to concentrate on dtd just incase I have ovulated later this month. At least EOD action. I can't keep going through the 2ww.

fuzzy, that sucks. I feel a bit better today - just want AF to hurry up and go away so I can get started on dtd!

epskie, miu stands for milli International Units - so only really useful for comparing between tests. Hcg calculator, which tells you when you are likely to get a bfp depending on dpo and implatation date:

This is the page for symptoms by dpo: www.countdowntopregnancy.com/early-pregnancy-symptoms/symptoms-by-day-past-ovulation.php

Thanks ladies, I've got it. Think this flu is sending me a bit doolally!

I don't want to symptom spot either but the obsession appears to have taken over me :-(

If you get a smiley face on your clearblue opk can you still ov late?

Thanks everyone, to be honest I've been feeling pretty unwell over the past few days I don't know whether I'm coming or going! At least with the clear blue trial I an POAS to my hearts content (within reason!).

Jessica I know what you mean, I want AF to be over so I can start again too.

Espkie, doesn't a steady smiley mean you have ovulated and should BD?

Thanks fuzzy yes, it does. Just paranoia stepping in again - I got my solid smiley last Wednesday and only managed to BD on Wednesday and Thursday due to teenager sleep overs and illness etc. So I was starting to think I might've missed it if I ov late. Just finding things to worry about

I am totally new this abbreviation what is BD??

spring it means baby dancing, same as dtd - doing the deed.

Ha ha very good!!! How are u holding up epskie??

I'm just symptom spotting my arse off! what about you? You still planning to test on Easter Sunday?

Hi ladies!
fuzzy sorry to hear AF arrived, but yes onwards to the next cycle!
epskie I'm sure you're covered in terms of dtd as solid smiley usually means ovulation will happen within next 24hrs or so. Good luck!
I'm about 11 dpo today and no symptoms which makes avoidance of symptom spotting far easier

I really want to hold off!!!! But I can't say I will! I will admit I bout tests yest but I've put then away!!! Will u wait??

woolly I guess no symptoms does make no symptom spotting easier! I feel I'm creating mine though!

I don't know spring I really want to wait but I'm already driving myself crazy. Mind, I'm sick with flu in bed so I've not got much to take my mind off it. I hope I'm ok taking regular paracetamol and brufen during the tww??

Which type of tests did you buy? Just out of interest not that I'm trying to find out if you intend to test early!!

I couldn't imagine it would be harmful?? Before finding out I was preg with my DD I was full drunk the previous week!! Psml!

I bought the first response 6 day earlier testing....... Because I'm not goin to test early or anything!!! Which do I get??

Types sorry I mean you

Bfn today . But still got 5 days till AF is due so still a chance!

I use the internet cheapies, I have read good reviews on them!

Hi Ladies? Any room for another obsessive symptom spotter?

I'm usually a lurker on this board, ttc #1 since November. AF is due on the 30th but my cycle can be a tiny bit irregular!

Busted spring! I knew it! Just kidding, it's hard to wait. I have a superdrug own brand left from last time and a clearblue digital that one of the ladies on here sent me when she got her bfp. I'm desperately trying to not buy any more. Since I'm bedbound right now, I've been successful so far - go me!

wine you're not out yet! How many dpo are you? I agree re internet cheapies - they were most sensitive when I was looking for my post mc bfn. I was surprised to find out that the digital/early response ones are less sensitive than others!

Hi Browneyed when will you be testing?

I've always found the cheapies good but this latest batch I have gave a few with shadowy lines.

I knew really that they should have been pinker but it didn't stop me staring at them under various lights!

Hi Epskie, I'm going to test Monday (if I can hold out that long!)

Not really had that many symptoms, felt a bit sick, had some really intense vivid dreams, having to go to the bathroom more.
Will see what happens!

To be honest, the cheapies from poundland and similar shops are good too!

Those symptoms sound rather positive! Keep us posted
