2ww: solidarity & symptom spotting

[PassTheAfterEights]

Anyone else in the 2ww?

1dpo cycle 1 post-mc, AF due 20/02 - last 2ww thread I was on got me through!

Trying to follow Kwick's rules for 2ww, no hot baths / cold veg etc, and not to react to every single twinge

Think I’m definitely out. AF being weird though 😏

@passtheafteteights, any news? I have been thinking of you!

Hi everyone, I have been a silent reader. But my AF is due Thursday and am holding off testing untill then (easier getting af, than another negative test), I haven’t really had any symptoms this month, but I did have ‘Aussie flu’ so I was really poorly with that and ended up in hospital. But my boobs are really sore and am very crappy (again these are symptoms typical with my af). Baby dust to you all xxx

@vickywood3 yikes that must have been a bit scary. Glad you're ok and fingers crossed for you.

Thanks HidCat, I got a week off work which was good lol xx

vickywood3 least you got a week off work but should imagine you couldn't enjoy it you'd need to be recovering! Poor thing. FX for you

I'm convinced I'm pregnant but do this every bloody cycle. Boobs are so tender right now and have been getting more so every passing hour throughout the day. Only 6dpo so it must be all in the head.

@TwittleBee yaay cycle buddy sending lots of positive thoughts. I've had a lot of symptoms today but eased now it's such a rollercoaster! Are you planning to test early? Personally I always test early because it's nicer to soften the blow of impending af but I am staying positive this cycle I have a good feeling!

Haha Owlpatrol yes i usually test early. Usually test every day starting from 8dpo because I can't resist! Such an idiot! I'm going to try and hold off though to at Thursday though!

massive temp drop today so i think i'm going to get af later:(
onto cycle 4

Morning all. BFN this morning but have a blood test on Wednesday to check for residual hcg after my MC in January so hopefully that will be right down now. Thought I'd ovulated already but with blood test showing HCG at 50 last week ovulation already is unlikely which puts me back at the start of TWW (maybe even longer?). So fed up of this wait (hitting week 9 after MC), was told 4-6 weeks to get back to normal. Ugh.

Thanks @winterwarmers & @vickywood3 BFN Sat, Sun & this morning - absolute earliest I could be is 11dpo but pretty sure AF's due mid week. Feel very miserable but will be better once AF arrives. Packing up the house this week, no excuse not to heavy lift! Sorry for all others with BFN/ AF & very good luck to all yet to test this week x

af has yet to show up but i had a bfn and temp drop this morning so sure it will be soon 🤔

how is everyone?

oh no winter ! Really hope it was just an inaccurate reading or a random dip for any other reason.

I am okay, although I am now convinced I am not going to be lucky this cycle. Nothing has changed, still got creamy cm and sore boobs and actually got mild cramps today too. But with AF due on Friday it probably all is PMS related :(

i might be going completely crazy 😝 a) i peed on a test at 19:00 after drinking a lot b) because i think i see something

OMFG okay so I don't wanna get your hopes but I think I see something too...
Test tomorrow morning 1st thing and report back asap

Oh that's there @winterwarmers for sure!!! Can just about see it on laptop and totally see it on phone. Eeeek! Definitely POAnotherFRER tomorrow!!! Oh my goodness I'm excited for you - such good news!!!

i brought a pack in town today even though i had two packs on order from amazon, hopefully i will be able to return the ovulation tests i ordered 😬

@winterearmer, I see something their too! Eeeccckkk am excited for you! Test Tomoz morning and let us know ASAP! How many Dpo are you? Xx

I have a feeling it's going to be too good to be true and it will end up being an evap :( I'm just not feeling that positive

I might be wrong - and I don't want to get your hopes up - but everything I ever read about FRER's said they don't/can't get evaps. Indents yes, if you take them apart you can see them - but it's a very sharp thin grey line. How long did it take for the second line to show @winterwarmers ?

i think it was about 3/4 minutes this is how it dried it's invalid now but there is a line and i think it's pink

i've never had a faint line/evaporate before

i took another test and there is a vvvvfl but it is pink with dd i always got a darker line in the PM so i'm going to retry tonight / tomorrow morning

As long as there's a line it's a BFP!

@TwittleBee thank you I've got some more frer due to be delivered today, I'm going to stop temping as my temperature is really low

Congrats @winterwarmer, a line is a line xx

@winterwarmers reckon that's good news girl, so excited for you!
