trying not to POAnymoreS before 29th!!

[Somethininthewater]

(Think) I ovulated on Sunday. DTD several times at the right times(I think!) so it’s just a case of waiting now... boy oh boy, I’m driving myself nuts!! DH has no idea when I ovulate(don’t think he wants to know as it puts the pressure on him) so I’m flying solo on the 2ww. Which is where you guys come in
Anyone else in the same boat? Fancy talking each other down from THAT shelf in the supermarket??

It’s not over until Aunt Flo sings her shitty song! We’re all very much still in!
This mornings didn’t have even a smidge of anything on it(shocker!) but day before yesterday did have a pathetic shadow on it... driving myself demented!
Must.Hold.Off!!!

I don't know if I'm just trying to convince myself I'm out so if AF does turn up I'm not devastated ha! But at the same time I'm symptom spotting like there's no tomorrow and half of them are probably in my head. Hopefully there'll be some BFP's in here in a weeks time though.

My only ‘symptoms’ so far have been feeling very sick during the night 2 nights ago and, on weds pm I had awful period type pains. Really low down, I’m my bum and felt like I’d been kicked in the lady bits!! Sorry! 🤷🏻‍♀️

OMG I’ve literally just done the dumbest thing ever: having a bad day, cancelled surgery this morning (BFN this morning to make sure I know if there is something there before I go in) come home from work and think to myself “hm... I do wonder if you would see a line better if the urine was a deeper colour....” going through the cupboards, peeing in a cup, putting blue food dye in, obviously BFN. Could just slap myself! 😂😂😂

😂 sorry I shouldnt laugh! What are you like! Is that a legitimate tactic?? Not heard of that one before

@Somethininthewater No!!! I have no idea where that came from! I’m very sleep deprived this week....

I see where you were going with it though. There was method in your madness, I guess! Hehe

😂😂 if I find myself buying blue food colouring im blaming you @peanutty. I definitely feel nauseous and I feel like I can smell absolutely everything, but in a bad way. I have pains in the bottom of my stomach but I don't know they don't feel like PMS

I am definitely waiting til Sunday! Will be 8dpo then I think. Still pretty pointless testing that early, but hey!
My appetite has been rubbish the last 2 days. Only eating because I have to. My steak tonight tasted awful 🤢 if I go off coffee, then I know I’m upduffed!

@Lollylollypopxo I will let you know if it works once I’ve got a positive!

@Somethininthewater I have weird cramps. But had similar ones last month. Both times started about 4-5dpo. I got my hopes up last month and this months again until I realised that it’s probably just the PMS that many women talk about but I just never had as a teenager or on the pill. Would’ve loved your steak!

I can still taste it. Ugh.
I had awful cramps 2 days ago. Had to go to bed!

Is this your first baby?

Yes, so no idea what it’s like anyway... but looking at my boobs they’re tinier than ever.

My boobs feel big and sore, but it's one of them things that some people don't even get. My sister in law is 15 weeks PG and she has had virtually no symptoms besides only now going off chocolate, so wouldn't be disheartened if you don't notice many changes!

I’ve got 3 DC and with 2 of them the first clue for me was leaky boobs!! They leaked all through pregnancy. Set me up well for BF though as I produced loads of milk.
I’m prob imagining it, but my boobs are a bit more sensitive today. My youngest elbowed me in the tit earlier(nice wake up call!) and it was agony!!

I always go off coffee and chocolate and want sour and salty things.

All sounds like good signs! Just took delivery of 2 FRER ready for tomorrow. Periods due the 28th don’t know whether to just cave and try one today ahhh

My periods due the 27th, I don't know when the best time is to take a test, with my daughter 4 years ago I tested 2 days before AF was due and got a BFP but I am now scared to death about chemical pregnancy which I didn't even know existed before I read every pregnancy page ever posted! Driving myself mad with the wait!!

@Igh05 same here had no idea chemical preg existed till I read these pages. Feeling a bit worried myself :(

Also my periods due on the 26th. So will test on Tuesday and on the 26th. But knowing me il be testing every morning just in case lol

Same about the chemical pregnancy, I had no idea about them until I read every bloody thread on here 😂 AF is due for me around the 28th so I'm HOPEFULLY making myself wait until then

Think I may need my oh to hide the sticks somewhere and never tell me where. I just stress myself out waiting and overthinking things. Not to mention I've had a blocked nose and dry mouth (which makes everything taste funny even water) for a month now. Stupid cold season!

@Gem173 @Lollylollypopxo so we are all sitting in our hands for about 5/6 days! It's a killer! I was weighing everything up about testing early, I think if I am pregnant and I did a text next Wednesday (AF due Friday) I will have a BFP but... I will then stress out for the following 2/3 days waiting for AF to show! So testing early may not help me because I am going to stress that I may still have a Chemical.

Does anyone know how common these are? If you do test 2 days before AF could you still have a chemical?

*on our hands

@Igh05 I just tried googling the chances of chemical. It says that it is believed that chemical pregnancies occur when the fetus dies immediately after conception. It happens before the embryo has a chance to implant in the uterus
