This 2ww is dragging even more than usual, I'm only on cd18 of a 33day cycle Sad

Anyone else in the 2ww needing some support?

Hi everyone! I caved earlier after a depressing first day back at work and did a test (unsurprisingly it was a bfn). I currently have really strong pms style tummy cramps on both sides of my pelvis, and radiating through to my lower back. Like the cramps I usually get the day before my period. Am keeping my fingers crossed!

Not sure about relaxation techniques Jetpack - I am working my way through Xmas food stocks. Hoping the whole pack of pringles isn't responsible for the tummy pains(!!)

Bfn. I am a bit lost symptom spotting as my dodgy tummy has taken over. Gonna see how the day goes. Fingers crossed she doesn't come

Symptom post - boobs are killing today, Areola is huge (it's not normally) and I had the most vivid dream last night about hubby having a bit on the side, it was so real! Only time I ever have these types of dreams usually is when I'm pg!

Bubblegum89 · 05/01/2017 11:52

My sore boobs are easing off a bit so I think that they may have just been an AF symptom :(

flymo79 · 05/01/2017 12:11

Hello! Mind if I lurk? Need a bit of company as due to test tomorrow (off out for dh 's birthday and need to know if I can drink!!). Ttc #2, cycle 6. Gonna contact fertility clinic if no joy this month as am 37 Sad

HighlandMcChancer · 05/01/2017 12:25

Hi flymo, hopefully it's a good BFP tomorrow for you! 37 isn't old! I've a friend who had her first at 42 x

Babycarmen · 05/01/2017 14:00

Update. Boobs are absolutely killing me!! So sore. Going to test tomorrow with FMU. Fx..

Bubblegum89 · 05/01/2017 14:17

How many dpo are you babycarmen?

Babycarmen · 05/01/2017 17:40

I think about 10 dpo...

hhaz · 05/01/2017 19:22

AF arrived today annoyingly! Was hoping the cramps were a different sign. Roll on February!

Poochymama83 · 05/01/2017 19:28

I caved and tested today at CD33 with bfn :( wish af would just show!! I would be between 13-15dpo depending on when I actually ovulated after my positive opk.

HighlandMcChancer · 05/01/2017 20:19

Poochy what tests are you using? Xx

Poochymama83 · 05/01/2017 21:24

This one was a sansburys early detection. Used a clear blue early on day 30.

Bubblegum89 · 05/01/2017 22:03

I've just ordered some first response tests so I can test on Sunday. I'll be 11dpo but still don't think I'll get a bfp :(

user1471495191 · 05/01/2017 22:06

I tested again (first week back after Xmas is reeeeeally dragging!!) but still no joy. I hate the clear blue tests, think I am going to go on a hunt for some first response tests on my lunch break tomorrow.

Sorry Hhaz and hang in there Poochy!

user1471495191 · 05/01/2017 22:08

Crossposted Bubblegum - you just reminded me of the wonders of Amazon prime membership! First Response tests ordered! BlushGrinWink

SophieGiroux · 06/01/2017 00:41

Sorry if tmi but would discharge be any different for early pregnancy? All seems same as usual at the moment so think I'm probably not Sad

user1471495191 · 06/01/2017 07:44

Not necessarily sophie - that is why it is so hard to predict. Some people have loads of symptoms, others none whatsoever. When I fell pregnant with my first (after months of trying) we hadn't managed to have sex at the peak times and i had no symptoms until around 6wks. So anything is possible until your period comes..

HighlandMcChancer · 06/01/2017 08:47

8dpo felt like some bubbles were popping in my uterus last night when I lay down bit of a strange sensation then this morning it feels like it's dragging a bit, starting to think it'll be AF preparing to show

Babycarmen · 06/01/2017 09:22

Ovia told me to test today and BFN. Gutted. Boobs are still painful. Will just have to sit and wait for AF to turn up I guess!

Bubblegum89 · 06/01/2017 10:53

What tests did you use carmen? I've got some frer's here and was going to do them maybe 11dpo and day of AF (if she doesn't show) but I'm still not hopeful

Babycarmen · 06/01/2017 11:23

It was a boots sensitive one and I used FMU. Going to wait and test again on Sunday or Monday but I'm not hopeful.

Bubblegum89 · 06/01/2017 11:29

Fingers crossed for you! I'm not hopeful either, I don't feel pregnant but I guess I'll test anyway. Good luck!

Reddy4no2 · 06/01/2017 12:42

I'm out. Had a tiny bit of spotting yesterday but proper AF aches and flow in full force now. Yesterday I was truly gutted, I cried and had a good vent to hubs. It means we need to hold off trying for 2-3 months now as it conflicts with uni. Not sure I will be able to stop trying though as I just think what if it takes 6months plus, surely we should try regardless. Hmm

Poochymama83 · 06/01/2017 15:00

Tested again this morning -prob should have waited! - bfn CD34.

Feeling rubbish today so possibly af but unusual symptoms. Hot flashes, off my food and touch of the runny but Sad
Lovely end to the week!

Wishing you all luck!!
