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

Good morning ladies!!

Pingu my screen may be totally crap and photos never really show the real deal when it comes to squinters (annoyingly!! Like cameras can never capture a good sunset!) so I too am squinting much like you! but perhaps wait and do another test in two days time and hopefully it'll be a stronger line :) as I've mentioned before mine was a squinter at CD30 and you also may have ovulated 3 days late this month. AF still hasn't showed, I've got everything crossed for you! xx

Nature thank you for your honest answer! I get concerned that if anything is 'cooking' in there I might dislodge it in the act lol! Sorry that sounds absolutely terrible and tmi but I'd like to think on a board where we openly discuss and compare cervical mucus this could be ok..

teaandbics for the first time last night I seriously nearly caved in to POAS! I had to talk myself out of it, it's too early!! Might as well wee on a £5 note! But then again the new fivers are wipeable so that metaphor doesn't quite work anymore

Things with me, I've been getting cramps the last two days and then had one sharp short cramp last night and I've woken up today feeling like someone's punched me in the ta-ta's and feel a bit sick.. I'm going to tell myself that it's probably all in my head and wishful thinking. I tend to do that as a defence mechanism where I'd be prepared for a BFN or pleasantly! ;)

Asides from that what a beautiful sunny day!!

Thanks appleseed, I've looked again and there is definitely a line there but only time will tell if it is an evap or not. Daylight pic attached. Just walked to the local shop in search of FRERs but they don't stock them

Your symptoms sound very promising!

apples no worries, i agree that this is a safe place to discuss everything from the weather to bodily functions!

Afternoon ladies,

Pingu yes, yes I see the line! Hopefully it'll get clearer over the next couple of days.

apple your post made me laugh. I agree that when we're at the stage of discussing our cycles and ewcm we've probably passed the stage of too much information! . I am so close to caving it's untrue. apple you are keeping me from hot footing it to Boots and clearing their shelves of FRERS!

Xx

I don't really have any symptoms, which is making me think maybe this month is not for me. Then again I've been having vivid crazy dreams which I had before. Come on already 24th.

pingus i can see it, just! So annoying you cant get FR test! Everything crossed for you! Im still waiting on AF after my GP said i was likely out for this month so i still have a tiny glimmer of hope that im mentally beating down with a stick!

nature I'm so hoping that your doc is wrong my lovely. Have everything crossed for you.

pingu very annoying about the frers. Tomorrow morning!

Pingu I see something!! AHhhhh so annoying about the FRER! If only I had a drone and some double sided tape I'd navigate one over to you! We shall wait in anticipation

Ah nature if not this month hopefully things will be better next xx If I go the same way too I'd love to carry on our 2ww together please :) If you'll have me.. Plus looking forward to all the soft cheeses of the world, sushi, cured meats, rare steaks and lashings of prosecco I'm sure no one else is quite as weird as me but I tend to cut down on the good stuff in the 2ww. God knows why..

Ohhhh bloody hell teaandbics do you know what ultimately stopped me from testing?!! IT WAS YOU!! HAHAHA The thought of letting you down! Honestly this actually entered my mind 'Oh god what would teaandbics think!? I mustn't dissappoint her!' and this was at about 1am!! I'm literally chewing my hand off. Took me double the time to type this out with one hand. Also I've had no constipation yet.. In case you wanted to know that.. lol

Anyone else excruciatingly waiting it out still with us on here?

I'm still here, lurking. I try not to post too much as I feel like it fuels my obsessive behaviour! I'm 10dpo and BFN this morning x

There you are passmethewine! Nice to know you're still here with us . I totally get what you mean about posting and fuelling the obsession. A bunch of addicts sat together could easily be counter productive as well as supportive haha. I and I think even teaandbics are actually 10dpo today too.

Definitely a very thin line between counterproductive and supportive haha 😂
But I must admit it is nice to have people at the same stage as you 😊 FX for us all!!

apples yes, another thread will be needed!

5dpo and going insane.. 5 more days (at least)...! Low heavy feeling in pelvis, and slightly sore boobs, also have thrush, which I never get. But possibly also imagining it all.

AF is due between 22 & 25 so maximum of 6 days to wait! Im 12 dpo so im telling myself there is no point in poas and i just need to be patient!! My last stick gave me a BFN and that was at about 8DPO. GP says there is little hope (ive been unwell/run down/stressed) but i still want to poas 😂🙈

Also I am on the tube right now and I can smell people. Maybe they are just very smelly ?

Welcome grumpy! I think most of us are nearing the end of our 2WW but id love to hear how you get on! Ive read your more prone to thrush when PG so fingers crossed!! ^baby dust to you

Evening all! I POAS and got a BFN - not technically due until 24th but have quite irregular cycles. I had spotting the last few days which is my usual pre-period sign & felt really nauseous yesterday so got my hopes up! Had a pretty stressful day with family being shit so I POAS and decided to open the red 🍷 to make the day more bearable. Ah well - next month hopefully! X

Aw AJ im so sorry!

Thanks! I'll keep you posted...

Think I'm out for this month unless this turns out to be late implantation or something. Guessing faint bfps maybe mean chemical. Week see if things get heavier of not week retest in a couple of days.

• will

Hi all,

apple, I'm loving the mutual guilt fest, each of us worrying about disappointing the other while climbing the walls. Who says the 2ww doesn't make you crazy? You are keeping me on track but I've got to be honest, I am struggling! Trying to remember that I've never got a positive before 14dpo. And your peeing on a fiver comment (so true!). No constipation here either lol.

Hi pass! Obsessive behaviour? I have no idea what you're talking about . And yep also 10dpo today. Time. Is. Dragging. Also happy to have you ladies here to make this bearable.

nature no AF so there's still hope!

Hi grumpy! I have everything crossed! Those are promising symptoms!

AJ sounds like a rubbish day. So sorry x

Good luck nicnac. Hope it is late implantation x

Jumping in. Must not POAS until March 5. Blatantly will try to by March 2. Anyone up for keeping me company while I try not to obsess?

nicnac sorry to hear that, really hope it isn't AF.

grumpy a super sense of smell is definitely a good sign, last time I was pg I could tell what DH had eaten for lunch when he got home from work! But then again, some people on the tube are really smelly...

Glad you can all see a line, I showed it to DH and he can too but will just have to wait and poas again tomorrow. I might not sleep too well tonight!

I'm a bit jealous of all the red wine and fancy cheese going on though.

Hmm, well this morning's test is even more of a squinter than yesterday. I was expecting the line to be stronger so I don't think that bodes well.

Starting to wonder if I have a dodgy batch of ICs so I've just added some branded tests to the online supermarket delivery that will arrive tomorrow. So stressed out about the uncertainty!

pingu my lines haven't been getting stronger either. In fact on most IC's they have been neg but clear blue this morning says 1-2wks. I've been trying to find first response rapid as they apparently are 100mIU and my thinking is that by 4+4 def should be at that level. I want to rule out a chemical and getting very pissed off at the moment. Went to 3 pharmacies this morning, none had any tests higher then 25mIU. DH says he bets no woman has ever had a temper tantrum before that she can't find a crap low sensitive test.
