We'll I've eaten a whole box of chocolates, what to do for the next 12 days. 2ww testing end of Sept

[EsmeGNU]

I've eaten a whole box of orange matchmakers instead of dinner. I've read almost every post on AIBU. There's nothing happening on Facebook. I've got 12 days until I can poas..........someone join me and keep me sane

@EsmeGNU thank you. Daft thing is it's not actually been a bad day... it's just like I've had pms for 2 days. Keep crying for no reason. Mostly when people are nice!
@GreggsSausageRolls I know it's nerve racking, but really think it's looking positive for you. Got a good feeling (and my ridiculous emotional state there are very few good feelings lol). When are you going to test?

When you do you think you'll test again @GreggsSausageRolls

Sounds like my life @Bubble04, I cry at everything all the time.

I've got the worst hunger. I can't seem to stop eating. I've got zero will power. 😭

Will test tomorrow as was meant to be having a night out for my birthday tomorrow with DH in London, and basically having a few too many drinks.

I've been a blubbering mess this week, and prior to ttc I can't remember the last time I cried. Also boobs hurt but have had af style cramps today. Basically I'm preparing myself for the worst. Until I actually produce a baby and hold it in my arms I won't believe. Sounds weird but just have this weird feeling. I have had a mc before. If I am preg I already know I would have to have a section at 37 weeks due to underlying conditions so that's making me nervous too, even though had a section before. Funny isn't, I've hopefully got what I wanted yet I can't even seem to smile or get excited. I feel like if I'm happy it will jinx it?! Hormones blame the hormones!

This mornings test, yep I'm too tight for a frer or CB, will wait until AF is actually late. Not much darker though? DH Is away so I've been able to stay calm but OMG. Shit. Fuck.

@GreggsSausageRolls looks good to me...give a couple more days... how many dpo are you?

@EsmeGNU and @Bubble04 any more pseudo symptoms? I think mine are increasingly psychosomatic 😂. I did a IC test this morning (why?! I don't know, I'm 7dpo so there was zilch chance it was going to tell me anything!!), and clearly bfn. I'm now forbidding myself another until Sunday at the earliest...that will still only be 9dpo so not sure why I'm allowing myself even that, but they're ICs for a reason, I suppose...

That's looking good @GreggsSausageRolls! I'm so excited for you. If we could have a trend of BFP's on the thread that'd be great.

No new symptoms yet @rachelandthenoodle I'm sure I can come up with some if I try hard enough though. I'm dpo 6 today. Absolutely earliest I'm testing is next Tuesday which will be dpo 10, which is still probably a terrible idea. How's the weepiness @Bubble04

Hoping DH will get some test results from the doctor today. Took a sample in a week ago on Tuesday, which was a whole hilarious situation.

Well, so far as I can tell, all of my 'symptoms' have disappeared today and all I have in return is a monstrous headache!! 😞 no sore boobs, no funny ovarian fluttering, no bloating, no nothin' ...rubbish.

Hi ladies! Can I join? In a similar boat. Myself and DP weren't planning on starting to TTC until the new year but we had a little "accident" the day I ovulated. So I'm in the 2WW for the first time. Currently 5 dpo, not a symptom in sight and counting down the days till I can test. My LP has been pretty short since coming off the pill 10-11 days so going to try and hold out till Friday when my app says I'm due. But I have 4 FRER in my drawer that I bought when they were on offer in boots...sooooo not sure I'll hold off that long. Someone distract me from the crazy

Of @rachelandthenoodle that sucks. Fingers crossed like the rest of our sign spotting it means nothing and you'll get a bfp soon.

Welcoming along @GnTplease how are you feeling about a possible bfp earlier than planned?

Hi @EsmeGNU I'm simultaneously terrified and excited!! It would be our first so daunting but we will both be super happy if it happens and were only waiting for the new year to make sure we had paid off all of our debts and are in a good financial position. But a few months early is no massive deal really. I'm 33 so more worried about the what if it doesn't happen when we do decide to properly go for it. I've already had dreams about seeing two lines on a test and telling my parents...anyone else or am I being totally nuts!?

I'm actually early October to test not late September if I can join in here?!
11 days to go and somehow already pointlessly symptom spotting...

Esme, looks like we're on pretty much the same cycle as if Clue was right then I'm also 6dpo. Going on holiday next week but I caved and bought some FRERs to take in case AF doesn't turn up as expected...

Me too @meg ... 10 days to go, 2dpo today. Already fed up of all the aches and twinges, lol! X

AF due in 6 days and contemplating taking a FRER. (IC showing BFN)
Would love to chill out and wait a few more days but I'm so impatient

I took it and I wish I hadn't. BFN. 8po on a FRER. Not sure if that means I'm out or it's just still too early. AF due in 6 days. Feel really miserable about the situation now

@ScarlettOH I don't think implantation happens until 10-12 dpo so deffo too early to test and you're not out at all! Wait a few days and try again.

I've had the dreams @GnTplease totally there with you. Couple of times I've woken up wondering if it was real.

Hey @MegEmski absolutely you are welcome to join. My app reckons early October but I'm fairly sure I ovulated earlier than usual. We love a pointless symptom spot around here.

Where you off to @CoffeeWithMyOxygen somewhere with lots of sun?

You definitely aren't out yet @ScarlettOH, like @GnTplease says you've probably not implanted yet.

So lovely to have some simp any on the crazy train! I've had a lot of CM this week, which I'm sure isn't usual. I do have a bit of a selective memory with symptoms though 😂 What cycle are you guys on?

The dreams are horrible!! I had one the other night that it was a positive test and then had to wake up to the dreaded wait!!

That test definitely looks like a positive to me!! Congrats!

I've been naughty and tested today! 2 days earlier than the early test states! I'm going mad because I think I see something and my friend thinks so to! Can you guys see anything...? Totally going to spend all weekend testing now, af not due until 27th.

I was just about to say no @MrsMallon14 but then it suddenly appeared. Fingers crossed the phantom line is an actual line. How many dpo are you?

@esmeGNU it's so deceptive. I flung it in the bin then got out the shower and was like I'll just look again and thought I seen something! Haha. I'm only 9 (potentially 10) dpo. Not sure as didn't get a strong positive opk.

I've had some symptoms like, super tired, cramps, strange cervical mucus. Just really hope it is a real line in a few days!

Why oh why do we all have to wait so long! Really hope we are all getting bfps this cycle! 😁

Oh it's so horrible waiting... @GreggsSausageRolls that looks like some great lines to me. Can't see the extra line on yours @MrsMallon14 but it's oh so late and I'm officially wrecked after this week so ignore me really! But like you said, tests are so deceiving 😫

Crazy symptom spotting here too. I'm convinced my wee smells different (tmi sorry!), random cramps briefly today and again now (although nearer my ribs at the moment...!), more spots than usual also. No dreams here like many of you, but am waking up very happy past few days. Also told I looked fabulous today... much too early for that glowing nature people talk of!!!

Hello to everyone who's just joined us on the crazy train x

@GreggsSausageRolls so excited for you! Have you done another test yet? When is DH back?

@EsmeGNU my weepiness is semi gone I think. I seem to be coming down with a cold (completely unrelated - the curse of teaching autumn term). No real symptoms I don't think, but my temp chart is looking weird. Never done temping before, so not sure how to read it. At the beginning of the cycle temps were similar and low. Got a big spike on ovulation day, then temps have stayed high but consistent... haven't taken temp since being poorly as I'm sure it'll ruin my pretty graph  Hoping the high temp is a symptom... now 8dpo, and af due 2nd oct. I hate this waiting!!!!!

Thought I'd attach my temp chart as my early morning ramble made no sense. Does anyone else temp? Is this a good sign or am I clutching at straws? X

I never get a strong positive on OPK @MrsMallon14 so frustrating. You testing today?

Hey @Bubble04 I’m not very good at charting but that looks pretty encouraging from what I’ve read. FX. Sucks that you’ve caught a bug. When are schools going to start introducing some kind of antibacterial sheep dip for the little germ factories? 😂

@Bubble04 hi, I also temp, but use kindara. What app are you using? Your chart looks great!!!! The rise comes following ovulation, confirming it. So it's a way to help you figure out dpo without using opk's. A nice consistent rise also shows a healthy luteal phase. So sorry you're ill now!!!

@MrsMallon14 are you doing another test soon?
