Needing some 2WW buddies.

[OnNaturesCourse]

Hello. Im currently 3-4 DPO (days post ovulation) with AF/BFP (Aunt Flo/Big Fat Positive) due 22-25th Feb! Did plenty baby dancing so fingers crossed and have promised myself not to symptom spot or go Google crazy this time. Ive also swore not to test until 18th Feb ... Do i have anyone in similar place so we can support each other and talk (while avoiding google lol) xx

I'm the same... symptom spotting constantly. Problem is I have a bad lower back at the moment and most of the twinges are in the same pelvic area that you'd get pregnancy symptoms. I've no idea what's what!

Hello lovelies!
I actually haven't thought about it too much today but I have noticed a little bit of period type pain again. Still 8 days to wait! Damn my long cycle!!
How's everyone else getting on?

Can I join you all please? I'm on 6 dpo and af is due 23rd Feb. I had a mmc early Jan so this is my first full cycle so not really sure if af will come when expected. Had terrible cramps all day yesterday, felt lightheaded/sick/tired and today I've had a pounding headache. Trying so hard not to get my hopes up but it's so hard!! Good luck to everyone in the same boat and hope we all get good news soon!

Hey HansSolo yay another 23rd due date! I feel so cosy knowing we're in this altogether .

I seem to remember with my symptoms last time it went radio silent for a couple of days and then BAM! Things started showing up from 10/11dpo onwards eg. Tender breasts, nausea, constipation, cramping etc. and with each day passing it would go up in intensity. BUT that's just me.. so could be very different for everyone else and bear in mind some women don't get even a smidge of symptoms and they find out later they're BFP.

Hopefully it'll be fun in a couple of days time when the majority of us get to around 10/11dpo onwards! Eeeeeeee!

Hello, please can I join you in your wait. I'm ttc2 and on cycle 2. I'm currently 10dpo and got a bfn yesterday. Convinced myself that it was just too early so trying to hold off testing again until my af due date which is Saturday. Really want to test again tomorrow. I have some boots cheapies in the drawer and they are calling me.

Hi HansSolo another 23rd due date! I've got my fingers and toes Fx for you, me & apple for a trio of BFP around that date!!

I'm just incredibly bloated, feel like I've been pumped full of air and can't stop burping! Runny nose too, and a little dizzy. It's a glorious time for us all by the sounds of it.

At least it's hump day (not literally for me, anyway!! think I'm DTD out 😂)

I remember last time that I got the same crampy feeling exactly the same time. I tested too early and it was negative but I felt like I just knew and then tested 4 days later and it was positive. I promised myself I wouldn't think about it too much this time but it's impossible!! Glad I'm not the only one due 23rd, fingers crossed for us all that we will get some happy news then!

We all sound a bit fun down at the moment!

Evening all! I've had a few minor twinges in my abdomen which I usually get a bit later on in my cycle. Had a pounding headache too which I think is down to not drinking enough water.

Got a family event Friday evening where I'm anticipating being asked if I'm 'next' as both of my younger brothers have had their firsts recently. And even if no one asks, I still feel a pressure! Short of telling my nosy aunt to go do one, any helpful suggestions to deflect unwanted questions?!

Sorry been quiet the last few days ladies!!

Sorry to hear about all the bfn!! It still is really early days at the moment though so fingers crossed for all you lovely ladies.

Currently 6dpo and soo tempted to test.... never had this urge before but think it's because I have tests sitting in my bathroom cabinet. Am going to try and hold out until after due (22nd)

Not really been symptom spotting but thinking about it I have had lower back ache for a few days now, waves of nausea and constantly peeing!!! I go alot normally but it has definatly been more often this week!

Here's hoping for lots of bfp next week!!!

Uh oh... just read the thread about a faint BFP on an IC at 6DPO that has now been confirmed. I am 8DPO with a bag full of ICs in the wardrobe. Must... resist...

Loving the symptom spotting that is going on! I had no symptoms when pg before so that could be a sign too!

AJE84 I sympathise with those awkward questions about being next at family events. I'd been with DH for 12 years before starting a family and people just didn't seem to realise that jokey comments might not be so funny for the recipient. So many people struggle with infertility and MCs, it amazes me how unaware and tactless some people can be. I read somewhere that you should say something like "yes we are having lots of unprotected sex, I'll let you know next time I whip my knickers off" but ive never dared say it!

Well, I'm out already. Good luck to everyone else x

Sorry to hear that Harry. Good luck for the next cycle!!

Sorry to hear that harry 😞😟. Xxx

Sorry to hear the Harry.

Pingus - that's hilarious! Part of me wants to make it as awkward as possible for the person questioning me. If they say "it'll be you next!" I might reply with "what will?" (quizzical face) and make them explain what they mean. Also tempted to ask back "are you asking about my sex life?! Shall we talk about yours too?!"

I am out too, good luck to everyone left x

Hi all, currently 9dpo couldnt resist poas this morning. What do you think? Early bfp?

reluctant sorry 😟 i think we will all be in it together next month too. nicnac i think i can just see a line, good sign! Id deffo test again in few days xx

I'm 11pdo and just got a bfn. I think that's me out this month. Good luck everyone.

choc seems not many of us are having luck! So sorry xx

Hi ladies,

Sorry for the bfn's - it's just crap isn't it? I'm 11 dpo and did another FRER this morning and it's a bfn for me as well. Feeling so deflated. I really wanted to conceive before my lost baby's due date which is early April. I really don't think it's going to happen and then I just don't know how I'll get through her due date. Urgh it's just all too hard x

Sorry to hear of all of your bfn. Well af due tomorrow. I couldn't resist poas today, I think there is a very very faint line. Not sure if I'm just seeing what I want to see iyswim? Terrible lower back ache for most of the week and feeling a little yukky. Probably af symptoms. Really don't want to get my hopes up.

Sorry to everyone getting bfn's this week. I don't seem to have had any of the usual symptoms today so I'm preparing for bad news next week when the inevitable happens. I'm consoling myself with the fact that at least I'll be able to have rare steak and a couple of glasses of wine when I go away next weekend. It's not really helping though! Fingers crossed for everyone still waiting, someone must get some good news soon!!

Hee hee AJE that is a good response! Maybe not one for an elderly relative though

Sorry to hear about the BFNs but most seem pretty early so there is still hope, surely? nicnac it is pretty hard to see if there is a line or not but why not do another tomorrow and post a pic? kool too!

hans I suspect I'll be joining you with the steak and wine next weekend. I'm going on a girlie spa weekend so I'll either have AF and feel crappy and not want to go in the pool much, or I'll have a BFP and not be able to go in the sauna or jacuzzi! I know which I prefer though.

BFN for me this morning, but it is a bit early I think and was just with an out of date IC I had hanging around. Will try to hold out until Sunday now, the day I originally set in my head as the earliest possible positive!
