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

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? Smile

I've done that before Alex!

AlexsMum89 · 28/08/2017 21:24

Well I'm glad I'm not alone @dragons !
I'm still obsessive, I need this week to be over soon!

AlexsMum89 · 28/08/2017 21:46

I've got a rubbish pain on the left side of my abdomen ☹ it's been hurting for about a week and I keep telling myself I'm imagining it but after doing some hard work in the garden today it's really hurting. This is not helping my craziness!

Fia256 · 28/08/2017 22:00

@AlexsMum89 I've had that the last few days, definitely must be a good sign!

AlexsMum89 · 28/08/2017 22:20

Argh @fia256 you're making me even more crazy!!

AlexsMum89 · 28/08/2017 22:54

Now I'm getting really scared because my resting heart rate has gone up the past two days which according to the fitbit theory is a positive indicator.
I don't want to be disappointed Blush

HolyShmoly · 28/08/2017 23:37

Alex's, I thought you were waiting till Friday too!! 😂

Well I was starting to let myself get excited as I had increased hr and a snotty nose today, but now my heart rate is going back down and it feels like mild cramps so I think I might be out. I don't think I'll be poasing on Friday, I'd say AF will be here first.
Abolutely gutted. I thought this was going to be it.

AlexsMum89 · 28/08/2017 23:40

@Holyshmoly I cannot be held responsible for the weird things I do at 2am!!
I'm sorry you think you're out, I've got my FX for you anyway. You never know x
Right now I feel quite good about waiting until Friday, I don't want the disappointment so that might keep me from poas before then now

Opensesame1 · 29/08/2017 00:17

Now adding inability to get to sleep to my list of symptoms... still only 7dpo so still far to early for real symptoms! 😂 this goes on the imaginary list!!

Sictransitgloria · 29/08/2017 07:18

Bfn this morning day before AF :(

I'm out.

PabloEscobarlo · 29/08/2017 07:36

I had bfn today and I think I'm due af 4/9. Someone please tell me I might be testing too early? I had what I thought was implantation a few days ago

felicityheather · 29/08/2017 07:51

@PabloPascobarlo according to this website www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/dpo-chart.php?dpo=8
At 8dpo (estimate as you are due on in six days) there is a 65% change of a negative result even if you are pregnant. Try to wait and retest. :) x

PabloEscobarlo · 29/08/2017 07:56

Ah thank you!

Fia256 · 29/08/2017 08:27

@PabloEscobarlo yes I'd say it's too early. I got a bfn 9dpo and only a light bfp on 10dpo so don't loose hope x

emilyjayne1990 · 29/08/2017 08:28

Morning ladies, when do you think the clear blue digital will work for me? I got my first BFP on Sunday and don't want to waste another clear blue!
I was thinking of using it Friday?

BiscayTrafalgarFitzroy · 29/08/2017 08:30

Still no AF who was due yesterday but am still light spotting. 15dpo now and another bfn! Is AF late or am I just having an extremely light and early AF which I've never had before. Who knows but I wish my body would make its mind up.

PabloEscobarlo · 29/08/2017 08:45

Thank you! I think I'll have to sit on my hands until Saturday do you think?

RandomUsernameHere · 29/08/2017 09:13

Yes try and wait until Saturday if you can. I'm trying to wait too. We can do it!!!
Just figured there's no point in wasting £ on loads of tests...

Fia256 · 29/08/2017 09:19

@emilyjayne1990 you probably will get a positive on one now, I'd say either today or tomorrow! I've just ordered some, going to try and hold out till Friday though for mine as my frer is still light this morning!

PabloEscobarlo · 29/08/2017 09:49

Yes we can do it!!! Saturday it is! We will all be up at 2am too @AlexsMum89!

AlexsMum89 · 29/08/2017 10:10

Haha @PabloEscobarlo you probably will!
I think I'm going to aim for Friday, AF is due Saturday so Friday should be ok and it feels like it's not too far away since it's Tuesday already.
I'm still really afraid of disappointment though. All the symptoms I've had since ovulation, sore boobs, nausea etc are all settling down down so it's making me feel like everything is normal. I know none of it really means anything though and it certainly didn't mean anything post ovulation!
DH isn't helping, he's so keen I'm worried about disappointing him too.

felicityheather · 29/08/2017 10:10

I was up at that time last night too! Terrible insomnia and absolutely starving even though we had dinner late. Trying to convince myself these could also be symptoms! Think I had a tiny bit of spotting today too but not absolutely certain. TBH I feel like I'm going insane and imagining everything. Im certain it'll be a BFN and an overactive imagination!

PabloEscobarlo · 29/08/2017 10:12

@AlexsMum89 my symptoms have done that and I'm starting to think I imagined it. It's going to be so hard if it's negative as I know I've got my hopes up

emilyjayne1990 · 29/08/2017 10:38

@Fia256 I'll try and wait till Thursday / Friday!
My husband doesn't want to tell our parents until I've done the clear blue and I want to tell them this weekend if possible while he's off work - I've ordered a cheap 'I'm going to be a big brother' tshirt so our little boy can tell them 😊

Fia256 · 29/08/2017 10:45

Ahh how exciting @emilyjayne1990
I've only told my mum so far. We will get a few early scans, starting at 6 weeks so we are going to wait till then to tell his family and rest of our close family. X
