Hi!
I need some tww buddies!
I think I ovulate around a weekago so I have one more week until AF is due! (Used preseed this month)
I'm not crazy into symptom spotting but I'm pretty sure something's going on. I feel like I'm getting a cold and have been having cramps and nausea!

Ahhh congratulations ladies, brilliant news for you both!!!

I'm home from work now and OH is out, my penultimate one step is calling my name following on from your good news! Or do you think I should just hold out until Saturday?!!

fiddlesticks123 · 25/02/2016 21:01

Oh god now I've really ballsed it up!! Couldn't help but do one, and now totally confused! Might have actually wee'd on the window where the test line would show up and now it's blurry and showing almost a line but it's in the wrong place, too close to the control line?!!!

More experienced opinions very very welcome...

Hhhmmm, I can def see a line, but almost looks like two positive lines rather than just one, I don't know if it s a positive test or not either! Have you got another one so you can test again in the morning? Also, do you have a plastic cup you can wee and dip rather than directly onto the stick? Hope you manage to sleep tonight!

fiddlesticks123 · 25/02/2016 21:15

Yes to all of the above, good ideas Cake I'll give it another go in the morning. The more I look at the pics though I think neither line is in the right place, kind of looks blank where a positive line would be? We'll see. Wish I hadn't bloody done it now! I told you I was impatient Hmm

fiddlesticks123 · 25/02/2016 21:16

That said, my boobs really are sore, and I'm super tired, so maybe it's twins?!!

*disclaimer, even I'm not that dumb.

Oh fingers crossed for the morning fiddlesticks ☺️

fiddlesticks123 · 26/02/2016 07:23

Hi girls

No luck I'm afraid, must have just been a faulty test, one massive BFN for me this morning, rubbish!!

Oh well, I'll keep testing every day now, DH wants me to just wait until AF either does or doesn't come on Monday as usually I'm like clockwork... I'm not sure I can do that!

fiddlesticks123 · 26/02/2016 07:25

Even whacked a filter on there to see if any illusive lines might show Blush

Anyone in their tww?
CakeAndChocolate · 26/02/2016 07:53

Oh that's crap fiddle I hope it's just too early.

fiddlesticks123 · 26/02/2016 08:08

Me too Cake

Does anyone have any good cheapie tests to recommend that I don't need to buy online? I'm now out of tests and working from home today so I can nip to the supermarket if needs be but not sure what to buy and don't want to waste money on clear blue unless it becomes a BFP.

Cosmomouse · 26/02/2016 08:30

Superdrug own brand ones are meant to be good! Sorry it was bfn this morning, but if af isn't due until Monday, it's still very early Smile

As for me, temp has dropped again this morning but not to cover line. Bfn!

Nicky883 · 26/02/2016 08:49

Fiddle i think those one step tests are very unreliable .latest reviews are bad . Once i have tested with them it just came back with a blury pink screen not even lines . Its still early so you might still get a bfp :)
Sorry to hear that cosmo when is your af due ?

mustthinkofabetterusername · 26/02/2016 12:56

hoping you get a bfp in the morning fiddlesticks

update ...................I'm now unsure; did another poas test this morning (same brand, lloyds) which was negative!!!

have been to shop this am and bought some clearblue digital, will use that tomorrow morning (day period is due)

Confused
Cosmomouse · 26/02/2016 21:52

mustthink let us know how it goes in the morning, will be thinking of you.

Af not due for a few more days nicky, will just have to wait it out. My temps have been totally steady and now look like a beautiful mountain scene Grin

Cosmomouse · 27/02/2016 07:31

Temp has recovered this morning, still bfn! 13dpo today. Hmm

fiddlesticks123 · 27/02/2016 08:06

Annoying cosmo when is AF due for you? Do you find temping a good insight? If it doesn't happen for me this cycle I'm considering giving it a go next cycle just to try and pinpoint ov a little better than ovia's best guess.

I haven't been recording cm either because TMI but how can you even tell the difference between that and semen?! That is probably the most school girl naive question in the world but I have no idea.

Got swamped with work yesterday so going to superdrug this morning to pick up some tests. Not sure when to do them, I'll be upset at any more BFNs but starting to feel like they'll be inevitable so maybe I should just wait for AF on Monday and use them next cycle.

fiddlesticks123 · 27/02/2016 08:15

Also mustthink fx for you this morning, let us know how you get on

CakeAndChocolate · 27/02/2016 18:32

fiddle did you test today?

fiddlesticks123 · 27/02/2016 18:50

I did, I bought the superdrug early result tests and tested just after lunch. It was a BFN but they do suggest you use FMU so I'm still holding out a glimmer of hope. AF due Monday, I'll test again tomorrow first thing, still tired and also tried to snack on almonds today which is totally normal for me but they tasted disgusting! Not sure if it's a bad batch or if my taste buds are playing up, also feeling cold all the time which on Google can also be a symptom.

That said of course everything you search could be a bloody symptom once you follow the search term with '...in early pregnancy'!!!!

CakeAndChocolate · 27/02/2016 18:51

Keeping fingers crossed for you

Cosmomouse · 27/02/2016 21:18

Haha fiddlesticks that is do true r.e the googling! All what you have mentioned sounds good though!

I'm not sure when af is due, I only have 1 or 2 periods a year due to polycystic ovaries which is why I get so worked up in the 2ww when it does happen.

All my symptoms are disappearing, apart from pains in my ovaries and sore boobs. I have a feeling this is a bloody ovarian cyst gone bad... I don't feel pregnant any more, I would have put money on it earlier this week!

Never mind, DH has bought me flowers and a bottle of wine and is making me nachos for tea, bless him :-)

fiddlesticks123 · 27/02/2016 21:42

Thank you Cake

Ahh Cosmo that sucks, I know what you mean though on feeling less pregnant, I was absolutely certain a week ago yet now I think as AF d-day is getting closer I'm starting to doubt it more and more.

Your OH sounds like he's being a gem though, mine took me for tea tonight too! They're good ones! You're not out though until she turns up and ruins the party! Just keep poas'ing!!

fiddlesticks123 · 28/02/2016 08:43

No need to test this morning as AF graced me with her presence. Gutted! So I'm out this month, fx for next time.

In the meantime, I'm thinking of temping. Do any of you ladies have any experience or advice on that? I'm not concerned it'll take the fun out of TTC as DH and I dtd every couple of days anyway and I'm fairly good at hiding the crazyoviaaddict from him but I'm thinking it would just help pinpoint ov and maybe around that time I could initiate dtd every day whilst trying to keep it fun and lighthearted.

Essentially I just want to maximise the opportunity and it seems temping might be as accurate way as any to do it?

InsufficientlyCaffeinated · 28/02/2016 09:27

Morning ladies! Mind if I join you? I decided I definitely wasn't going to symptom spot this cycle as that way madness lies for me, BUT I'm having so many symptoms so they've forced my hand!

This is my second cycle after a recent mc and so it's hard to tell if I'm imaging these symptoms in to being but then I didn't have them last cycle and I did have them my BFP cycle. That was my first pregnancy so it's all I have to compare things by.

So...I'm either 7dpo based on my app's calculation or 9-10dpo based on my estimation according to when I had ewcm this month. I have been increasingly nauseas over the past few days, really bad this morning. Have been having really painful nipples, cramps, dull headache, a weird shooting pain going up my foof Blush and creamy, slight stretchy cm. Basically all the things I had around my last BFP but even more so! I've ordered some more internet cheapies so I'm going to try to hold out until they arrive (or I might just crack and get a Superdrug one tomorrow...!)
