2ww starts here! Any early September testers want to join me?

[PollyCazaletWannabe]

Some of you may recognize my username from the pregnancy and miscarriage boards. DH and I have been TTC since September 2016 and I had a MMC in January followed by an early MC in May. We took a break but got back on the wagon last month and this is our second month of TTC again.

I think I ovulated yesterday and we have DTD three times in the last four days, so I'm hopeful this might be the month for us! AF is due on 3rd September and I know it's going to be a long wait. Anyone want to join for some 2ww support?

I'm not sure because I don't track ovulation. I just know it happened between Monday 14th and Friday 18th!
They didn't have many tests to choose from, so I ended up with 2 clear blue digital and 2 Sainsbury's cheap ones. Can you get the sensitive ones from a pharmacy? I'm not sure what do to now!

Are your cramps really bad? As I've had cramps since last Monday but like dull period ones.

I think all digital are less sensitive.

The dye in the tests can only pick up HCG, false positives are extremely unlikely unless you've recently had a miscarriage or taken certain drugs like a trigger shot, if I remember correctly

And they're like mild period cramps but noticeable.

Emily I think it's down to it being a digi as there's a definite line on the one you posted!

I'm so annoyed with myself for testing this morning and using my last test! Can't find any shops near us on holiday that have pregnancy tests in!!

Lesson learned, that's what happens when you rush out and buy!! I think what I'll do is wait until morning and use my Sainsbury's cheap ones.
I'll save my last clear blue until next weekend!!!

I had mild cramps so I knew they were there, not exactly painful but they niggled me. Then I had sharp stabbing pains on Friday.

We are supposed to be early September testers! Stop all this early testing or I'm going to end up caving!! stern face
Congratulations @Emily !

@AlexsMum89 😂😂 I don't even know why I did one today! I was just working away in my office and thought 'I need a wee, I could do a test...'. Totally expected it to be negative! But thank you!
I'll see what happens in the morning.

I tested because of the irregular bleed. Sort of wish I hadn't as it's just made it more confusing

Congratulations @emilyjayne1990 !

Trying not to cave in too @AlexsMum89 I'm going to wait until at least the first few days of September if I can. Help me stay strong!!

Lol @Emily I've had thoughts like that. Every day I don't do it I consider a success!

@dragons I don't blame you, hope you're feeling happier x

@emilyjayne1990 if you've had a bfp I wouldn't worry about the other tests. You probably just don't have enough hcg for the digital to detect yet.

I'm still experiencing light bleeding. Started last night then went away now It's a bit heavier today. Just praying it's not AF 2 days early. Don't know whether to test tomorrow morning or wait until Tue...

Thank you everyone. Husband just needs to believe it now!!!
I definitely have an obsession with testing, but I knew there was something different going on with my body.

but I knew there was something different going on with my body.

I have this too. Such a weird indescribable feeling. I haven't even had a bfp and am scared it's wishful thinking.

When's AF due @Biscay ?

That's how I felt too. Still do even though it seems to be pointing to something else.

I'm feeling okay Alexsmum, just confused and worried. DP is getting put off ttc by all this :(

@emilyjayne1990 should be Monday. Normally very regular although have had the odd early appears before. This bleeding started yesterday but doesn't seem heavy enough to be AF...yet!

I think I'm definitely having implantation bleeding with a feeling I also can't describe like PP.
I'm wondering when I can test I've only got the real cheapies from online, should I get a FR?

Congratulations emma x

9DPO and I'm having no symptoms at all. I normally have AF symptoms
by now so I'm wondering if that is a symptom that AF isn't coming?

Yes I know I'm crazy! No symptoms as a symptom shakes head

@Piewraith no symptoms has always been my symptom with pregnancy! Also 9dpo. Bfn today but had shooting pains last night and felt exhausted today but then that happens wether I am or not I've noticed

@PabloEscobarlo how do you tell it's implantation? I think mine is but I'm worried it's too heavy. I've had mine since last night but it disappeared a bit overnight, came back this morning and has been here all day. It's between spotting and light and would probably be heavier by now if it was AF. But I read implantation is pinky brown and mine is quite red....so frustrating!

Biscay what's your bleeding like? Mine is red, slightly painful but fairly light.

I am concerned if this is a period that I may have a luetal phase defect. I have symptoms of low progesterone before this.

@biscay it's like a browny slimey type. I am a bit gross but I've done loads of google imaging.
The thing is everyone says it's so different person to person.
I learnt tonight that a positive opk can indicate bfp but I wasn't sure so I did one, there is no way now I can be ovulating im pretty sure if it. Here is my opk, dp is going to bring a frer home in the morning. What do you think?

@PabloEscobarlo yours sounds much more like what I've read.

@DragonsandDungeons mine started yesterday so 2/3 days before AF due. Light brown spotting that disappeared in the evening. Come back this morning and I would say spotting to light - not enough to use a pad really. AF would be much heavier than this now. However, it is very red today and I thought it should be brown...slight twinges in left hand side yesterday and a few days beige that. I don't get any cramps with AF normally (lucky I know!)

I had a bfn on 11dpo. Have a FRER left so could test in the morning 14dpo...

Could well be pablo but I've also heard a positive OPK could also be the sign of AF coming as there is normally a surge before it arrives. Only way of knowing is testing with a preg test, how many DPO are you?
