confused thanks lovely. If no AF by Saturday will test on Sunday morning. We're going away Sunday and Monday night so at least will know before we get to the hotel. Believe me will be cracking open some wine the minute my AF comes (silver lining!) How about you? It's tempting to test every day from tomorrow now my ICs have arrived..

Oh and yes it is scary... but so bloody exciting it makes me feel all warm and happy inside! Eeek.

Confused I am so excited for you! Fingers crossed for testing tomorrow. What time will you be testing in the morning? Hopefully before I leave for work at 7!
Had a lovely chat yesterday with DP as I confessed about my OPK addiction. He was so understanding and all my anxieties.
I was in a shop earlier and there was a little boy being held by his Dad in front of my in the queue. He was staring, as almost toddlers do, but suddenly started pointing at me and giggling. Then he said "Mummy! Mummy!" I just smiled and became very interested in the label on the back of my cheese sauce! Dad looked even more embarrassed that me. I found it all a bit weird and creepy!

Jupiter I'm excited to you too! Definitely test tomorrow, although those IC are renowned for giving false BFN so don't be too disheartened if you don't see a second line.

Jupiter i don't blame you.. i stocked up on poundland and wilko tests so i can just poas as much as i like from tomorrow... sometimes i think im ready for AF arriving to chuck myself into next cycle... but then sometimes i feel really low just thinking about how wrapped up i have gotten and it could all be for nothing! Lol

Haha Wiggley i start work at 7 so will be testing about 5.45... i will make sure i post a quick result before waiting to catch up later on.. your DH sounds really understanding!... and I get it about the kids! My family call me a child magnet! They just love me... the other weekend i had a child stop me to tell me all about the bubblegum his mum got him and his mum was so flippant saying i'm sure she doesn't want to hear about it... tbh its sad to admit but i really did because his excitment was just so lovely!

Omg Tigger congratulations!

Still got my fingers crossed for you confused and Jupiter. Confused that is exactly how I felt this time last week. You have so much hope in the tww then it's shot down. I think it's just best to try and stay optimistic xx

Huge congratulations tigger we need all the details!!

My ancient phone has died... I'm totally cut off from civilisation!

Thanks all, it is such a series of highs and lows this 2ww malarkey but I'm ready to chuck myself into the next cycle too if AF does come. I'm off work tomorrow but will post as soon as I can (my bladder will wake me at the crack of dawn anyway haha)

Wiggley will use a FRER tomorrow I think so can be more confident of the result :)

I am also FRER'ing!... Jupite did you get your +ve opk on the Saturday? I am trying to work out the lowest DPO i could be clutching at straws lol

Seven its horrible isnt it!?! Lol... did you have any symptoms last cycle before AF showed up?

I got my positive OPK on the Friday so assume that I ovulated on the Saturday. My luteal phase was 15 days last month but is normally 14 so expecting AF this Saturday... there is a chance that we ovulated later than the day after our positives (clearblue website says up to 48 hours after static smiley face!) but my EWCM dried up on the Saturday so think I ovulated then. I've been clutching a bit at straws too. We've had a hell of a ride this month confused haven't we!!

Yeah confused it was the boobs! My bra felt really tight and boobs were tender. Didn't specifically feel my nips tho! But then everything disappeared so I knew I wasn't preggers then luckily af came right when I expected and two days sooner than Ovia predicted so it wasn't a drawn out wait!
I hope you and Jupiter find out one way or another soon!! X

Congratulations Tigger!

Good luck with testing tomorrow guys, keeping everything crossed for bfps!!

And confused, yes the idea of being pregnant is still completely terrifying! ;)

Im doing ok.. really knackered, all day! Finally starting to get a bit of nausea which is slightly reassuring but not very fun. Hoping it only stays at low levels!

Congrats Tigger!!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you guys tomorrow. My AF is due tomorrow and I'm pretty sure she's coming. Looking forward to getting on with next cycle and properly TTC that one.

Dancing glad to hear you're still doing well. Is it really hard not to tell everyone?

Thanks for all the lovely messages! He proposed in our cabin with a bottle of Moët and a ring he'd had designed and made, literally the most beautiful thing I've ever seen! Then the northern lights came out and we got some amazing pics. Had a beautiful dinner in a 4 seater restaurant and it was blowing a gale outside. It was honestly so perfect.

So I'm currently 12dpo and although not been symptom spotting (as I've been having too much fun lol) but looking back I've had some interesting things go on, so I've had 2 days of very thick cm (sorry if tmi) it seems to have stopped now though and back to nothing. I nearly fainted today in the airport- putting this down to low blood sugar and a bit knackered after travelling though, I've been shattered- put this down to lots of physical activity walking sledging etc. I'm swinging from counting myself out as other than the vitamins etc I've not really done anything I should this 2ww to feeling positive. I'm going to try and hold out until my af is due next Thursday

Good luck to confused and Jupiter, keeping everything crossed!

Everyone else approaching fw and 2ww keep positive!

Awh tigger that sounds so bloody perfect! Congrats! ❤️

Keep positive everyone! You're not out till you're out!

Very negative BFN this morning but it's okay.. sort of knew that. Breast pain reducing too and AF cramps building up. I know still small chance but good for me to start letting go for now. On to next month!

Have everything crossed for you confused - sending loads of positivity your way!! Eeek.

Tigger that sounds so wonderful, how romantic. You must be walking on air... oh and the 2ww symptoms sound extremely promising!!

Have a lovely day everyone

Hey ladies... so i wrote a really long post that MN fucking didn't publish!! Grrrt lol

Sorry for BFN Jupiter

What do you ladies think of these...

Omg confused I see a very very faint line! I would be celebrating but definitely test again tomorrow!

Sorry about BFN Jupiter. Make sure you treat yourself if AF arrives!

I went out for dinner last night and ate beef tartare I know I know. and woke up 2am almost vomited.. not feeling that normal this morning either ..

Oh and we didn't get to DTD because both too tired .. I didn't want to push it as then it becomes a chore. hope we've done enough this FW. Depending on OPK in about an hour I might try my luck again tonight

Sorry about BFN jupiter I like your positivity 🙂

Ooh confused I can possibly see something on the first picture, I can't see anything on the negative or the other one though. Pictures often don't show up well though. When is AF due? Try another on Saturday if you can hold out I would be POAS every hour eeeek, exciting

I can see something too!! Oh wow, how exciting. Test again tomorrow but looking very promising yay.

Outside in natural daylight I can seen a very faint line on 1st and 3rd photo 😀😀😀😀

Oooh Confused that looks very promising! 😁
Hope you're OK Grumpy xx
Glad you are doing well dancing x
Full of cold this morning, af was still lingering on yesterday. Very light but long which is annoying but more like I remember her pre pill so fingers crossed for another shorter cycle this time! Will start opking in a few days!

Sorry about bfn Jupiter x

I'll update the list again soon, hopefully we'll have a couple more bfps to add to it 😊
