Jumping on the crazy train for the first time... ALL ABOARD FOR THE 2WW!

[WaitingTillJuly17]

Firstly I must apologise to all you mumsnetters... I've been a lurker for a while and have never understood the craziness surrounding the 2WW until today! Have literally just ovulated yesterday on our first round of TTC and I've already been symptom spotting/furiously checking and rechecking my calendar and Ovia app like a pro!

Logically I know that there is literally no chance of any symptoms yet and DEFINITELY no need to POAS for the next 10 days at least, but there's another (much louder it seems) part of me that keeps thinking that the reason I'm so bloated/gassy (seriously what is up with that?!) or keep dropping my keys/knocking everything over or these cramps are obviously due to the fact I must be pregnant 🤦🏻‍♀️.

So to stop me going completely around the bend, I thought I'd ask if anyone is due to POAS around the 21st of July? If so, do you want to wait with me? All those who have done this before, feel free to leave me tips on how not to think about this 24/7!

Hi ladies just a quick update from my end AF is now one week late and still BFN!! 😞 hope all you lovely ladies are well 😊

Hey everyon, hope your all doing okay, I'm about 10 days since ovulating, I took a test today it was neg, af due 2moro but last month it was a week late so not really to sure, I'm going to take another test in the morning, but I've had low back pain all evening, so not to hopeful now! 😐 Xx

Hi mollybear hopefully you get a positive soon!! I would leave it tho for a couple of days between tests

Hi @ladybirdno1, I am due on 19th August too currently feels like months away...

Hello ladies, please can I join?

We're currently TTC #2. I came off the pill in September, it took 3 months for my period to return and then a few more months for my cycles to settle down so we've probably been actively trying for 3 cycles. I've ramped it up this cycle and have been using the clear blue ov tests, I didn't get a peak detected but did get high fertility. Currently CD22 and driving myself mad symptom spotting!

Hello user when are you due to test? The 2ww is so hard!!

AF due on 21st but we're away next weekend child free so I'm going to be tempted to test on Friday so I know if I can drink or not. Cycles are still a bit unpredictable and can be between 30-34 days.

If it would give u peace of mind then test then you could enough your weekend without wondering 😊

I tested again! Lol no I shud if waited, still neg but no af, I think I'm about 11/12 day, tho didn't use opks so not sure cud still be a few days out I'm hoping , goodluck everyone else, this unknown is hard x

Its really hard and not easy!! OPKs are worth giving a go just so you know where your at im hormonal this afternoon so i think AF is on her way i just wish she would hurry up n get it over with!!

Hey guys I'm going crazy can anyone else see this... it's blue and faint but so unsure plus I'm 2 days late or am I mad?

I can see it!! Congrats mrs!!

Defo can see that!! Congrats! Xxx

9 days late & 3 BFN starting to get a little concerned now im having discomfort & cramps as well as backache also when i pee my lower tummy is really sore esp just to the right a little any thoughts ladies??

Lmxo hope your feeling okay, when r you testing?
I've just got another negative, I'm on cd 26, period normally cd 25, af hadn't come yet, but even if I was a few days out then the test would pick it up wouldn't it, this is so stressful, I don't think I'm going to test again till next weekend if I've not come on by then, this is consuming every minute, and it has done since I lost teddy in April, feel Like I'm in permenant limbo 😞 x

Going to try and leave it until the weekend if i can its really hard tho i just wanna know!! Awk mollybear 😞 i hope you get a BFP soon try snd leave it as long as you can but as i said i know its super hard x

Well Sainsbury's said I was and now frer say I'm not ... 4 days late... no sign of anything to say my period is coming... so really fed up ... when I was pregnant with my son thou no test picked it up till I was 6-7 weeks and clearblue didn't find him till I was 18 weeks ... so just gonna write this month off

Aww mrs thats so annoying see that what scares me and keeps giving me false hope so many people are saying it didnt pick up can you not go and get a blood test done?

Ffs! Light pink stuff on tissue, must be start of af! As test was negative 😣😢

I have been wanting to post for a few days with my usual symptom spotting but thought I was imagining things again. Woke up feeling dizzy this morning and poas for the first time rather than waiting for af. Just got 2 lovely clear positives! Not that it has yet sunk in!

This is the first month I used clearblue digital ovulation tests and I think we have that to thank this month! (Thanks Waiting for the suggestion)! As well as the evening primrose I started taking.

Trying not to get excited yet but I just wanted to come back to update.

DP is at work and I want to surprise him with the results

Awww congrats floppy!!

Thank you LM

I'm going to get one more different brand of test because just read up and frer have had a lot of bad reviews lately so going to try and see if any others pick it up like the Sainsbury's. I am 4 days late so fingers crossed ... congratulations previous poster x

Im gonna try a clearblue then i was using ones i got off amazon but a bit sick of seeing one line tho (not preg)!! Fingers crossed for you!!

Apparently frer give a lot of false results either way and aren't reliable because of the indent in them... so I would.. I hope you get a bfp soon Hun and thank you @LMX0 xx
