TWW - anyone else testing in early March?

I'm just starting the dreaded TWW and could use some company. All the other threads on this seem to have reached the testing stage already.

I am 2-3 dpo and planning to test on 4 March. We have been TTC for about 18 months and are getting fertility treatment. I am pretty sure I ovulated this month though, so I have have high hopes for this cycle.

Yeahhh stay Buddha! What's that then? I've been thinking at looking up something that is meant to help! Also anyone use ttc frequently lube? Lol!

dangle90 · 26/02/2017 23:12

Been pooping like mad today, my mind tells me it's the mushy peas from yesterday but my fingers tell me to google pregnancy symptoms 😂

Beckyb4591 · 26/02/2017 23:26

I've done a test everyday this week even though I knew they would all give me a BFN! It's been 4 years since I had a period so I just can't remember what my body was like before I had my mirena cool fitted! It was removed on 30th Jan and I definitely ovulate on 17th Feb. Do you think an early test would work now? (10 since ovulation if I test in the morning) this is driving me ABSOLUTELY BONKERS!

Beckyb4591 · 26/02/2017 23:28

10 days since ovulation that should have said! I'm tired and can't text properly.... Pregnancy symptom maybe?! 😂 haha

Buddah101 · 27/02/2017 04:33

dangle The preseed i mentioned is the ttc friendly lube. just like ethels conceive plus - how you finding it ethel? is it easy to use, anything that's a faff and Ill just give right up!

Up again early, I cant seem to sleep past 5am the past few weeks, dont know whats going on with my body anymore Sad, probably all the stress ive put on myself googling every little thing.

Oysterbabe · 27/02/2017 07:40

You might get a result at 10DPO Becky, you might not. Have a look at this

www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/results-by-day-past-ovulation.php

At 10DPO 31% of pregnant women will get a negative result.

satsoooma · 27/02/2017 07:45

I'm 11DPO and still have not tested. This is a first for me. I feel like I might just never test at all. After 18 months of disappointment, I can't face another BFN.

Good morning all
Buddah I find it good and easy to use. I have a tube and also the applicators. I've used the applicators this month. It is supposed to be good if you don't get much ewcm.
satsooma I feel awful for you. I really hope this is your month. I'm keeping everything crossed for you... and for everyone else of course! I'm trying not to symptom spot but I am also trying to be positive about it all too. Still, 7dpo today. Might test later on in the week when I'm at 10 or 11 Confused

dangle90 · 27/02/2017 07:58

Ahh I see thanks Buddha I'll look into it. Well I had the most real dream that I had a BFP so woke up and did a test... bfn of course. :(

ethelfleda · 27/02/2017 08:07

Dangle you're not out yet! When is AF due?

Oysterbabe · 27/02/2017 08:11

I'll be crossing my fingers for you Satsooma, that's a lot of months of disappointment, it's so hard mentally. Flowers

sweetandsaltypopcorn · 27/02/2017 08:16

I'll be crossing my fingers too satsooma!

So far this 2ww, I have had a cold (bunged up nose and sore throat) and a migraine Confused
I bought a clear response 6 day early test (even though I was 7...) and got BFN obviously. Not feeling too hopeful for the rest of the five days wait.

dangle90 · 27/02/2017 08:19

Only just seen your post satsooma! That is a long long wait :( fx for you!
Due AF sat Buddha x

Firsttimeandclueless · 27/02/2017 08:25

Hi everyone, was gone for a day and can see everyone is as impatient as I am Wink

Fx for you Satsoooma, that is a long wait.

Congrats Any and any other BFP I have missed.

I caved and tested yday which was pointless as was only 4DPO....I have no control Grin.

No clues as of yet, body is behaving just like it's ordinary self. Grrr.

Sorry to hear about the AF girls! One month closer as my DH says.

Oysterbabe · 27/02/2017 08:33

4DPO?! The world has gone mad Grin

Beckyb4591 · 27/02/2017 08:49

I took the plunge yet again this morning and am really happy to say I had a BFP! I just used an Internet cheapie. It was a faint positive that showed up after 2 mins... But a positive none the less x

ethelfleda · 27/02/2017 09:20

Woo hoo congratulations becky !!
Dangle you're definitely not out yet then! Saturday is ages away and your little bean might not have implanted yet x

Oysterbabe · 27/02/2017 09:22

Congratulations Becky Grin

Beckyb4591 · 27/02/2017 09:24

Thank you! Keeping my fingers crossed for all of us. I'd still like to stay active on this thread to see how you all get on xxx

Mamabooksbabynumber2 · 27/02/2017 09:26

Hi ladies, I am due to test on the 8th of March Smile but only did on the last day and day after fertile week so not thinking the first month will be our month

boatrace30 · 27/02/2017 10:32

Congratulation Becky! Smile

Dangle I also had a hyper realistic BFP dream. Got up at 5:30 and tested!! BFN of course (6DPO) but now the longest my temp has stayed elevated for and I'm full of cold so I'm a teeny but hopeful

I saw on another thread that great fruit juice can improve ewcm (for those considering lube) and I have found it really works

Fx for you satsooma

satsoooma · 27/02/2017 10:36

Thanks for all the positive thoughts everyone!

Massive congrats to Becky and Any.

Am I the only one reluctant to do a test during the week. Especially as it is our first, and we have been trying so long, I just feel that telling DH I am pregnant and then having to run straight off to work would be a massive anti-climax. If I wait until the weekend POAS, then we would have time to celebrate properly. Or am I just being over-controlling here?

ethelfleda · 27/02/2017 11:05

Not at all satsooma this is a big deal and you've dreamed of it for a while, of course you've imagined and planned the perfect where and when to tell your DH! You don't get to make that announcement every day so it's only natural you'll want to do it when it's right for you xx

ethelfleda · 27/02/2017 11:07

Boatrace I tried grapefruit juice and EPO this month. I think they worked but we DTD so much over fertile week that I couldn't tell if it was him or me... sorry for TMI!!

dangle90 · 27/02/2017 11:13

Satsooma I've thought the same thing would be awful running off to work having it on your mind all day, on the plus side I think I would be a happy employee that day 😂!
Think I'm going to try grapefruit juice next month Ethel do you think it made a difference ? X
