Anyone else starting their 2ww?

[shopaholic85]

Hi all

I think I am 2dpo and think AF is due 4th Feb so 13 days until I will be testing, if AF doesn't arrive.

I know it's not really possible to have symptoms this early but I have had frequent urination, excessive saliva and a slight metallic taste in my mouth today. I think it must be all in my head, because I don't remember having these symptoms the last time I had a BFP (which ended in an early m/c).

Is anyone else just starting a 2ww?

Girls I'm out (again) - AF is here one day early. I knew so I'm not too upset this time. Looking forward to trying again (yawn). This month I'm going to slot in a load of exercise cos I'm dam lazy! And also cutting down on alcohol!

Good luck to everyone else! Let's have a BFP soon please!!

Oh bugger I'm sorry lily. It's amazing how well we know our bodies isn't it? Really hope this is your month. Gotta have some booze though surely!?! Otherwise it's torture!! Xx

Oh no! I'm sorry Lily. I have just been to the GP and had a melt down on him. Oops! Those damn hormones!

I'm so sorry Lily! You've said all along you didn't think this was your month, but doesn't make it any easier. Treat yourself to something nice this weekend please.

I'm going to start testing tomorrow, but convinced I'm out too. AF not due until Thursday. I hate the 2ww with a passion!

BFN on an early detection test this morning using FMU. I'm 10DPO, so probably too early, but I'm already convinced I'm not pg. But there's always that annoying part of me that is still hopeful. Probably won't bother testing now until AF, which is due on Thursday.

Shopaholic try and keep the faith. 10DPO is early isn't it??

I am going OUT OF MY MIND today. Forgive me for the rant that is about to ensue!

I have had faint positives Wedns, Thurs and Friday this week. Today I woke up, had a flash of blood and got a negative test. I went back about 15 mins later and there was a very faint positive again (not as strong as yesterday). So decided to do a few more tests but they were all negative. Even the early predictor ones.

I have stopped bleeding now but have tugging on my belly like I do when I have AF. I haven't stopped crying since 630am. I am so confused and upset.

Today I am 11DPO so that would seem early to test - but why did I get a positive on Wedns / Thus / Fri???

I feel so stupid for getting my hopes up and believing I may be pregnant and now this..

Any ideas what is going on??

You're right Kate. I threw up some food today but that might have something to do with comfort eating a whole family size- packet of crisps . The last time I remember throwing up like this was a week before my bfp in Dec. Trying not to read too much into it and have promised DH to not test until AF is due. I have barely left my bed today. I feel so down.

Don't apologise for ranting. As far as I know you can't get false positives so maybe the negative ones are false? Are you using the same brand? Testing at the same time of day. There is nothing to do unfortunately but wait for AF and test again if late.

Oh no Shopaholic that sounds like it could be a sign? Any other symptoms? When did you get symptoms last time?

I have been driving myself INSANE today. I went out and bought myself some First Response tests and got two positives. Then convinced myself that they were just evaporation lines so did a little test using a cup of water to see if a line came up... and of course, it didn't. Stupid test. I am dog tired and am bloated but I am also spotting again so WTF?!

No idea what is going on. My mum & dad are coming round shortly (they live in Edinburgh so don't see them often) and trying desperately to wipe away my swollen eyes from the tears so I can put on a happy face. Very hard today though.

No other symptoms *Kate', so not holding out much hope. And the nausea lasted for only 10 minutes. I convinced myself that I would be strong if the test this morning was a bfn, but I just burst into tears. And as well as being sad, I am starting to feel angry again, which is so annoying, as thought I had started to make peace with it all.

And I completely understand the obsessive need to keep testing, and it must be so frustrating for you. I hate to even suggest it, but could it be a chemical pregnancy? I really, really hope it isn't. We deserve some success. I hope that you don't have to put on too much of an act in front of your parents.

Just had the worst baby bomb from one of my best mates who couldn't tell me she was pg. plus she had an abortion because they decided they didn't want kids but now seem to have changed their minds. I'm not having a good day :(

Oh Lily. I really feel for you. Baby bombs always seem to drop at times like this. How you feel is normal, but don't let it ruin your day. It will feel like people around you are getting pregnant without even trying. That's their journey. Ours will mean even more because we have struggled to get there. And get there we will!!

Oh god lily I'm so sorry. That's the last thing you want to hear. I echo shopaholic though, we will get there soon & our little ones will be all the more special for it.

You were right Shopaholic, it's a chemical pregnancy. Woke up this morning and passed a big clot of something & it's been heavy heavy bleeding since then. I guess it tried to implant but my womb lining wasn't ready after the MC. It would have been a miracle as I haven't had a period since October and my womb must still be recovering. So... It's been a very tough day here too. My Boyf is treating it like its a period & it was a false alarm but in my mind it's more significant and it's just brought back all the pain of the proper MCs. I haven't got out of my pyjamas yet!

Thanks girls for your replys - I'm over the initial shock now so feel but better. Had a massive sob though.

Kate - am so sorry :( what another rubbish thing to go through! I know it's annoying for you to wait again :( sending you

Shopaholic - how u feeling? When did u say you can test or are you waiting?

I'm so sorry Kate. It's the last thing I wanted to be right about. I'm not surprised it's bought it all back for you. Sending you too.

I tested too early yesterday Lily and got a BFN. AF is due on Thursday so going to wait until then before testing again. I had a few little spots on my face when I woke, which I tend to get before AF, so know it's on its way! No other symptoms to report.

Thanks girls. It's so tough. I feel devastated. I don't think I can go through this again. It is so physically and mentally draining. All last week I couldn't concentrate at work as I was so tired and feeling sick, so now I am going to have to explain to my boss why there isn't the documents she is expecting tomorrow. I tried to do some work today but haven't been able to concentrate. Why can't there be some luck? It is such a f*cking struggle and I have had enough.

Never give up Kate, just be strong and let your body rest and wait for next period, and go at it again. I know how you must be feeling right now and it's awful - what is with this week being so rubbish???

Any BFPs?????

Hello! Can I join? I'm really sorry some of you are having such a rubbish time of it. Hopefully there will be some bfps very soon.
I'm not technically ttc although I would like to but we had a contraceptive slip up last week (split condom) and it happened about 17 days after my period. I'm still bf my almost 15 month old dd and have only had two AF since having her so I haven't really been keeping track of my cycle length. I also don't even know if I'm ovulating yet! I used to be around 31 days though so if the length is still the same the timing could be right. I now can't stop thinking and hoping that I might be pregnant although the reality is that it's unlikely. I just 'knew' I was pregnant two or three days before I was late with my dd. This time I'm symptom spotting far too early and it's driving me insane!

Welcome FriendlyGhost. We've all been guilty of symptom spotting on here. When do you think you will test?

I had another BFN today (2 days before AF is due). Think I need to get the message now! And to top it off, I had an argument with DH and told him that we may as well stop ttc, because there is no point.

I'm not really sure when I'm due but I may test at the weekend if no AF by then. The longer I leave it the longer I can continue my happy fantasy of being pregnant.
Not all tests can pick things up before you're due shopaholic so there's still hope;) keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Welcome FriendlyGhost! I think you should test!

Shopaholic - I know exactly what you are feeling like :( don't give up - it's very hard to keep being excited month and after month but you will get there. Don't despair. (Now I need to listen to my own advice)

I'm still dealing with that baby bomb and she wants to come and see me but I can't face it at the moment. I have put it off for a week but am going to have to face it at some point. I am really happy for her don't get me wrong but I'm so jealous that she fell pg so easily (twice)

That's so tough Lily. It will be you very very soon. I'm sure your friend will understand if you need some space for a while. I remember first time around I felt awful telling a couple of my friends who were ttc. Turned out one of these was pregnant at the time but didn't know it and the other got pregnant a few months later. They both have gorgeous dcs now
It's only 10 days since we dtd so I think too early to test here. I'm crap with disappointment so I don't want to test until I think I'm late. Plus I bumped into a friend in waitrose this morning so I chickened out of buying any tests in case she saw!

Lily if you are not ready to see your friend yet, just tell her. I am sure she would understand. I have avoided seeing my pregnant SIL and my friend's newborn for the last 2 months. And I am only just starting to feel ready to see them now.

AF arrived a day early today, so at least the waiting over. I told my best friend and she told me to stop stressing and it would happen when I stop trying. I know she was trying to be helpful but it didn't help. And so when I got home I burst into tears, which was probably also to do with having a rubbish day at work.

I'm seriously tempted to delete the Ovia app and not track my cycle this month. I have a fairly regular cycle, so maybe it's causing more harm than good?

How are you all doing? Anecdotally there seems to be evidence that relaxing and not tracking periods helps. Easier said than done though-I know when I was ttc first time around I was always mentally checking dates even if I didn't have an app.
I'm being absolutely pathetic here and am too scared to test because I don't want a negative. Still no AF. It's probably due around today but with breastfeeding i doubt it's regular. I thought I had some dizzy and sickness symptoms the last couple of days but I've got a cold so most likely that and now the cold is here the symptoms have gone. I'm holding off testing until I know I'm really late. This is partly because DH wanted to wait to ttc until the summer and was quite firm about this (I was an absolute misery with sickness last time). He hasn't mentioned anything since the incident so I think he's blissfully unaware that I'm hoping I'm pregnant

I was doing fine until I poas and got a smiley face on cd 10! I did use first morning wee though so have I made a mistake? Should I do another in an hour? Thank god I'm back home to DH tonight though so we can at DTD just in case!

How are you feeling FriendlyGhost? Any more symptoms?
