start of 2ww...AGAIN

[harrypotternerd]

Tomorrow is the last day of my fertile window. 6th month ttc. Trying not to get my hopes up. Felt rather positive at the start of the week but now feeling quite negative. Testing on 22nd. Anyone else on the 2ww?

[harrypotternerd]

we have relatives coming and staying with us from christmas eve to at the very least boxing day but most likely until new years so I might try and get a quiet moment to do a test. These relatives don't know we are ttc. I really want it to happen this month, more than other months because I dream of telling DP I am pregnant on his birthday

Hi ladies,

Can I join?

Trying to conceive for a year, I'm really lucky to have a DD.

I posted this morning, I've done two tests one positive and another negative!

I'm due on AF early next week.

Anyone else feeling like TTC has totally taken over their lives?

Xx

[harrypotternerd]

yes!!! It has taken over mine! I have tender breasts today, even though I promised myself I wouldn't symptom spot. AHHH

[minime88]

I've been writing down symptoms on a tracker....I am officially crazy!

[ethelfleda]

Hello everyone - can I join please??
AF due Sunday and was feeling really positive thinking I was having all the right symptoms. Stupidly tested yesterday at 10dpo and got a bfn. And convinced that most of my symptoms have now subsided. Boobs don't hurt as much and don't feel as tired etc etc
I reckon I'm out this month

[lucylou1234]

aw miniegot my fx for you ! was it the same brand of test ? maybe one was more sensative than the other:(

i'm symptom spotiing like mad too but i'm guessing i'm out. been feeling like my period is coming on from 4 dpo but think it's officially on it's way :(

[minime88]

Thanks lucylou1234 :) no one was clearblue the other a cheapie! Positive on clear blue within 2 mins, negative on the cheapie. Now I'm doubting myself because I know clear blues give false positives :( pregnancy can feel like your period is due so you're not out!!!

Ethel crossing everything for you....10 days past ovulation is a little soon to test sometimes, what test did you use?

[Hippychic79]

Hey ladies - please may I join too?
This 2WW is driving me crazy ....
I'm 38 / TTC #1 / Cycle 3 / Cycle Day 24 / AF due 20th
I really really want to test.... all i really want for xmas is BFP.....
But I'm convincing myself its better to wait to increase the accuracy.... I've got clearblue pt's ....

fingers and toes crossed for you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[ethelfleda]

Hi Minime- looks like you have a BFP there!! Congrats!
I used an Asda test. Says you can test 4 days before AF is dit but didn't even get a hint of a line! Trying not to be disheartened but I swear all my 'positive symptoms' are going! Keep prodding my boobs to see if they still hurt

[ethelfleda]

Hi Hippy chick! May I recommend not to test early like I did?! Lol x

[ringroads]

Hellloooo can I join into plz,
Cycle 6 TTC 2 CD 21, symptom spotting like a crazy woman, having loads of CM and cramping since ovulation. Staying hopeful that this has to be my month! good luck all

[minime88]

Thanks ethel....I feel really negative and basically convinced myself it's a false positive because is so early to test!

Hi ringroads and Hippychic79!

Hippychic I'm due same day as you and used the clearblue (non digital) x

[ethelfleda]

I'm sure I read somewhere that false positives are very rare? False negatives sure but not false positives. Did it come up within the time frame?

[minime88]

Ethel it came up within 2 mins! I keep thinking it's too strong a line....at this point shouldn't it be even fainter? I'm not 100% certain when I ovulated, if it's when I had cramps in my fertile window then I'm 11/12 days past ovulation. But if it's when the app predicted then I'm only 9 days past ovulation!

[ethelfleda]

You're worried cause the line is too strong
Can you buy the same brand again and test again?

[minime88]

My partner is away with work with the car and I live in the middle of nowhere.....I only have two cheapies left :(

[harrypotternerd]

hello to all the new ladies! My DP has put me on wrapping and organising christmas cards today so I stop thinking about it!!!!

[ethelfleda]

Harrypotternerd I love your username! I am a massive HP fan myself
I've got a big meeting today that's three hours drive away so hopefully that will take my mind off it. Already think I'm out anyway...

[minime88]

Harrtpotternerd you have reminded me about Christmas cards- i have 20 I still need to send! How are you feeling today?

Ethel- you're not out yet! Crossing everything for you x

I did this test this morning....haven't put a filter on it. It was a cheapie.

[harrypotternerd]

Minime I am feeling OK today. Symptom spotting like mad! Congratulations!!!! Ethel everyone always asks me questions they have about harry potter because i am obsessed haha

[minime88]

Can't believe it after a year! Still in doubt. But thank you :)

So hard not to symptom spot I feel your pain! My boobs have lied to me so many times this year!!!

[Hippychic79]

Hi ethel - thank you for welcoming me 😀

Yaaaaaay Minime that looks like a BFP.... please keep me posted ..... I'm too scared to test right now ... af due Tuesday which is cd 29 and I'm pretty regular.... I don't want to test too early ... getting a negative is so freaking depressing ... I really can't take another.
Big hugs all xxx

[ringroads]

Congrats minime,, what was your symptoms and on which days (if you remember)

Hippy do you have any symptoms?

[minime88]

I know what you mean Hippychic, because it's been a year last month was really hard! I was convinced I was preggo, tested and BFN and then my period started 3 days earlier than usual, i spent a whole weekend crying! Still not believing my positives, it's so early! I'm going to test again next week and will only get excited if my period is late!

Thanks ringroads- the weekend following my fertile week I started getting a dodgy belly (read somewhere diarrhoea can be a symptom). I'm not 100% sure when I olvualted because I've held off buying OPKs (I was so convinced i wasn't pregnant I actually bought some on Wednesday though). So that would be cd22 or roughly 7 dpo. I've just checked my app for you on the same day my belly started being dodgy I also put down that I had achy cramps. My boobs cannot be trusted but the reason i tested so early is because not only are my boobs sore they are really full and the only way I can describe is tingly! Ive had sore boobs since 4 dpo. Ringroads have you been using any apps?

[MishyBakes]

Mind if I join? I'm nearing the end of the first week of the tww, and trying my hardest not to symptom spot. This is cycle 8 , and am trying not to get hopes up. We had some blood tests and SA done, and for the most part they're okay. I'm just getting so fed up of waiting!

Minime, that looks like quite the BFP to me
