Three days into the two week wait and I'm driving myself insane. Lurking / stalking all the threads on here so I can read others get BFPs and live vicariously through them!!

I almost googled "will I get pregnant this month?" in the hope that some mystical google witch could see into the future for me.

I have lost it. Anyone else?

I'm loving this thread, I must say. I decided to relax this month too but, no, here I am testing at 9 dpo and wondering why it's a BFN. I've stared at my chart once an hour (see attached!) And decided that it looks really good. I've 'casually' noticed all my symptoms too. Argh!

Have shagged as much as is possible during the green week this week. Have stopped temping, stopped reading up on things, stopped all other stuff. I can get pregnant as it happened before on the first try but ended in miscarriage. Going to chill and no testing before AF on 7th.

happybus28 · 27/11/2017 07:25

Chart looks good from what I can see bandha but I’m not a expert as I don’t temp. My relaxing is starting to go out of the window also!! Trying to resist the urge to test!

Sounds like you’ve done well presh with all your green week action! FX for you!

How’s everyone else doing? Still no spotting for me. Looked back on Ovia and spotting has always started by 10 dpo so if there’s nothing by the end of the day it’s gonna be really hard not to get my hopes up! Really need to try and keep busy today to stop my mind wandering.....

BalasMum · 27/11/2017 09:14

Hi Bandha and presh. Sorry I am no help with charts as I don't temp and those particular charts always look so overwhelming - I can't work them out! I think if you feel positive about it though, then that's a good thing!

I am in real danger territory now as I got a bfp at 9dpo with my first. Annoyingly that was a one shag wonder in our first month of trying. So the reality of TTC is hitting me hard this time around.

Happy if you don't test today / tomorrow you are a greater woman than I. Things sound SO good for you!! I have a bloody admin day at my desk today so it is going to be a long day of staring at apps and symptom spotting Blush

Have you tested this morning balas I’ve managed to stop myself again! Think I will tomorrow when I’ll be 12 dpo although I have had the tiniest bit of spotting this morning so if that progresses then I’m not going to bother testing at all. Was only a tiny bit and didn’t really look like usual so I still have a bit of hope.

BalasMum · 28/11/2017 08:17

Good work resisting happy and good luck for tomorrow. Hopefully spotting is nothing to worry about. I'll be keeping everything crossed for you.

I did test (twice of course 🙄)...what do you think? I'm getting my hopes up. It is so early still

I did the same yesterday @BalasMum 9dpo and got the same however I took it as negative. May test again on Friday fx for you hun
I am so trying to be chilled today however Af cramps are in full swing

BalasMum · 28/11/2017 08:56

Oh good luck Owl. I remember cramps with my first that were the most intense period pains ever. Never amounted to anything though. All in my back and stomach right on the day AF was due! FX for you too!

BandhaAid · 28/11/2017 08:56

Feeling silly for being so hopeful this month because I've convinced myself my chart looks really good. What do you all think?? Have had symptoms but, of course, they could be due to AF as well. It's due on Thursday so in trying to prepare myself just in case. Argh!

happybus28 · 28/11/2017 09:08

There is definitely a line there balas how exciting!! Do you have any symptoms at all?

Hope your cramps turn out to be nothing owl lots of people who are pregnant say they get af type cramps so I wouldn’t rule yourself out!

Chart is look good bandha when are you going to test?

I’m starting to wish I’d tested this morning now....I have a OPK in my bag still I might use that later to satisfy my testing craving haha!

Owlpatrol · 28/11/2017 09:30

I'm not very good @BandhaAid with knowing the charts so apologies not really sure but I've heard as long as it stats above the line!

Owlpatrol · 28/11/2017 09:31

Hi ladies hope this works.. .this is the meditation I did last night really helped calm me during the tww

HoneyCake86 · 28/11/2017 09:45

Bandha your chart looks great youre not imagining that! Bbt way above coverline still at 9dpo... do you have a plan when to test? With my 3rd, i got a very faint line at 9dpo (obvs not everyone gets it that early - depends when implantation takes place). Theres a temp dip there at 3dpo which can corrolate with implantation, but its hard to tell because you have lots of days of fertile cm.

Try to keep positive, cos i see no chart signs of AF yet xx

BalasMum · 28/11/2017 09:48

Ooowww happy I wish you'd tested too! Sneaky OPK can't hurt Grin I have had no symptoms at all apart from early waking at 2 and not being able to get back to sleep. Not sure if that's just the thinking over ttc though! And then just now I've had a huge wave of nausea. But again, pretty sure it's because I've just taken my pregnacare on an empty stomach!

Good luck Bandha! Let us know how you get on.

Thanks so much for the link owl - will definitely give it a try if I wake again early tomorrow Thanks

Okay ladies .... crazy one for you. Last night and this morning I decided to do an opk.... I shouldn't be ovulating as I did so 22nd November... however each time I did the sticks I got two lines .... I am going to continue to do them until I run out ... any suggestions why I am getting the surge?

BandhaAid · 28/11/2017 10:16

I'm now 11 dpo and it still looks the same but tested yesterday and got BFN :-( Don't test again until AF is late

BandhaAid · 28/11/2017 18:45

Can't stop shaking and crying! Bought a frer on the way home from work and... It's a bfp!!!

happybus28 · 28/11/2017 18:51

Congratulations bandha Flowers

BandhaAid · 28/11/2017 18:57

Thank you 🤗

BalasMum · 28/11/2017 19:01

Yay!! Congrats Bandha! Absolutely lovely news. You were right about your chart all along!

How's everyone else? You tested yet happy Wink** Ive just done two more ICs and of course got even fainter results (if that's even possible). Feeling crampy and bloody miserable!
