Anyone around 3dpo and settling in for the 2ww?

I've just hit the 2ww (according to FF chart) having missed last month as I didn't ovulate in a stupidly long cycle of uselessness!

Super happy to have simply ovulated, but trying to remember that's just a small part of the battle in getting upduffed.

Anyone else at the beginning of their wait and want to hand-hold compare symptoms?

That is tantalisingly close, Lara. I am 2 days or so pre-ovulation. Will you POAS tomorrow?

Welshcake77 · 18/06/2015 11:49

Snap Lara...I'm trying to talk myself out of POAS tomorrow morning at 10dpo!

I woke up in the night needing to go to the toilet which never happens and have been loads today already...other than that nothing seems different, no cramping or spotting...it's going to be a long few days!

Ha it's mad isn't it?!

I poas at 8dpo but only because in my head I was like 'if it's negative its wayyy too early so that's ok' poas tomorrow is scarier as I think a neg is more likely and I'll get disheartened.

I'm clinging to every sign haha. Feel super bloated so if not preg going on a health kick!

Plus keep convincing myself my boobs ache. Not actually sure now if they do or it's from the continual poking! ????

How long have you been TCC Lara?

GoodbyeToAllOfThat · 18/06/2015 15:16

Or, TTC even.

A few months now Goodbye. I have pcos though so my cycles are crazy all over the place and last cycle I didn't even ovulate! So frustrating. How about you?

3dpo here. Didn't notice anything strange. Dh having lots of rest for next month of ttc. Just Hoping my lp stays in normal parameters.

GoodbyeToAllOfThat · 19/06/2015 15:36

Coil out in Sept, so casual about BC since then. My husband has only recently persuaded me to try in earnest, so this is the very first month that I've tracked anything or used an OPK, for example. I got my first positive OPK reading this morning!

I'm 42 so it's kind of late in the day, but I have 2 kids and am fine if it doesn't work out.

I am unaccustomed to having sex 3 days in a row and feel on the verge of a UTI, and have 3 more days to go. Yikes.

purplecat27 · 19/06/2015 18:10

Guys I'm freaking out! Just got home from work and did an OPK (I do them everyday just so I can fill it in on FF) and it was positive so I thought hmm... I wonder...

POAS (cheap 89p for 2 Home Bargains) and it's a definite line! Faint but undoubtedly not-even-a-squinter line! At 9dpo! I now feel sick with myself for POAS so early when I know all the statistics about very early pregnancy stuff.

Please hold my hand and tell me everything is going to be OK!

Oh god. Just did a test at 10dpo and got this (cheapy then a superdrug)

Can you see lines or am I driving myself crazy?!! Totally convinced myself today not pregnant and now... well I don't know.

Oh my goodness I just read your post from this morning. Amazing!!!

I'm right with you - so scary as so early!

OP posts:
purplecat27 · 19/06/2015 18:40

Yes! See my message above your one with the pics! I'm freaking out!

purplecat27 · 19/06/2015 18:41

I know, aaaah!

purplecat27 · 19/06/2015 18:42

I don't know what to do about telling OH, might so a Superdrug and a Clearblue digital in the morning, and then tell him then if positive, as we're off to a wedding tomorrow and I won't be touching a drop of booze now!

LaraNotCroft22 · 19/06/2015 18:46

I know how you feel - my OH is at work so I can't tell him either. I think I'm going to get him his father's day card and put it in there! (I will have to do his card tomorrow as no way waiting for Sunday :-))

Do you have a pic? Is it like mine?

I'm glad I had a spare pack of superdrug tests lurking in a drawer now!

Oh god, now I'm going to be poas every day hoping it gets darker!

OP posts:
purplecat27 · 19/06/2015 18:51

I do have a pic but it's not very good, it looked darker in real life. Also I haven't got the foggiest how you get a pic up on here off my phone!

I'm going to tell him tomorrow I think. As long as I get a positive test to show him in the morning! I'm thinking a Clearblue digital might not even be positive yet but I've got a 2-pack so I'll give it a go.

Sounds like a plan! let me know how it goes.

Huge fingers crossed for sticky beans for both of us and more bfp's on this thread :-)

purplecat27 · 19/06/2015 19:05

Oh it worked! On the top is the cheapie test and on the bottom is my (equally cheapie) OPK.

My fingers are crossed so hard for all of us that I think I'm going to need to have them surgically uncrossed!

Superworm · 19/06/2015 19:05

Ooh congratulations both of you!!

How very lovely Smile

Welshcake77 · 19/06/2015 19:09
