As title says really. Anyone else just about starting their 2ww again and want someone to share the torture with? Currently on CD1 myself and trying to stay hopeful after 2 recent early losses. Let the ridiculous symptom spotting begin!!!

This is this morning's test still can't get a photo of it but it's definitely more viable then yesterday

ontono3 · 20/02/2018 07:54

@millypad sorry I don't no anything about temping I've never done it

Millypad · 20/02/2018 09:07

@ontono3 don’t worry at all, thank you! I will see what happens tomorrow. I can see a line on your frer btw!!

ontono3 · 20/02/2018 09:24

Glad someone else can see it lol

LG88 · 20/02/2018 10:17

This is Sundays for me.. Am I going mad.. You can be honest!!

ontono3 · 20/02/2018 10:46

I can definitely see it have you tested since?

LG88 · 20/02/2018 10:50

@ontono3 no haven't tested again. This was roughly 10DPO I guess. I am trying to hold off as long as I can as I don't want to confuse myself even more. The line did seem to get darker but I don't know if this makes it more likely to be an evaporation line?

ontono3 · 20/02/2018 10:55

It wouldn't have any colour if it was an evap line that's definitely pink use a frer should be a clear positive by now

Miserablemouse · 20/02/2018 11:08

Can I join too please?
TTC #1
Cycle 10 (11 months off the pill, more actively trying for 6 cycles)
I think I’m 1dpo.

Got my positive OPK on Sunday but had been away all weekend on a hen do so hadn’t dtd since Thursday night... wanted to get back on it but husband really sick with a tummy bug! Pretty much insisted he have sex with me last night despite him not feeling much better - hopefully he’ll forgive me!

Fingers crossed foe all of you testing this week xx

LG88 · 20/02/2018 11:27

@ontono3 I did wonder that myself as the line is definitely pink. I will just have to brave it and test again.
Welcome @Miserablemouse. You are not the first to act like this. The whole process turns you into a crazy person doesn't it. Xx

ontono3 · 20/02/2018 11:46

Good luck @LG88

Miserablemouse · 20/02/2018 14:09

Thanks @LG88 - glad I’m not the only one but felt awful as the one thing I’d sworn I wouldn’t do was make our sex life all about ttc... hoping it was a one off due to bad timing with me being away and i’ll be less crazy next month

I agree the line looks pink, how exciting. Will you test again in the morning? Definitely looks like a line on yours too @ontono3 - fingers crossed for you both

Can’t believe I’ve got to wait at least another 10 days before I can test, not sure how I’m going to think about anything else. This was my first month using OPKs and trying to temp more accurately so even though I doubt it will happen I’m secretly so hopeful

LG88 · 20/02/2018 14:16

@Miserablemouse you are not alone! My husband had flu last month but it didn't mean he got a break!! It's so hard trying not to put pressure on isn't it. I'm the most impatient person ever anyway. It was a pink line but I am just not convinced that it's not an evaporation line still.
I am going to try to hold off testing until the end of the week and see if AF puts an appearance in first. It's going to be a long wait though. The days are certainly dragging. I know exactly what you mean, I can't keep my mind focused on anything else!! Xx

Millypad · 21/02/2018 05:33

Temp has shot up again this morning.... (must stop googling fingers) open circle is because am 45 mins early!

ontono3 · 21/02/2018 08:48

Another super squinter for me this morning can't really see it on the pic but I did a ic to and there's a super squinter on that to

SakuraSunrise · 21/02/2018 08:54

Fingers crossed for you @Millypad, I'm not temping but my resting heart rate on my Fitbit peaked on ov day, dropped and then the last two days (5 and 6 dpo) has shot up, google tells me that's a good sign

ontono3 · 21/02/2018 08:59

@Millypad that temp dip could be implantation dip maybe? I know very little about temping though so could be totally off the mark haha.

@ontono3 how many dpo are you? I can't see anything in the pic but I've had faint lines that were hard to capture on camera too so could be the start of something if you can see it. Good luck!!!

Currently 6dpo myself and on one hand I'm cracking up but the other I feel totally calm. Going to test on Sunday so will update then! Had mild cramps the last 2 days which is unusual for me unless pregnant but know in my heart it's really too early for any symptoms so probably ibs or something lol.

How's everyone else feeling? X

I'm 11dpo @mamabear05 I shouldn't be testing so early but I can't help myself

Original poster

mamabear05 · 21/02/2018 10:32

@ontono3 I know the feeling. I've always got my positives at 10dpo before now so going to start testing then. All really faint but had 3 successful pregnancies and 2 early losses previously x

Are you trying for no4 @mamabear05 I'm trying for no3

Original poster

mamabear05 · 21/02/2018 11:31

@ontono3 yes we are ttc number 4 now but getting a bit worried that there might be some issues with secondary infertility so trying to stay positive! We were very fortunate to conceive all our dc within 3/4 months but this time we have been trying on and off for approx 18 months with nothing. I did manage to conceive during my last two cycles however lost both pregnancies at 6 then 5 weeks. Suppose it's a good sign that I'm still ovulating though. Had to have my first assisted delivery with my youngest and have since been diagnosed with cervical erosion, a fibroid and Adenomyosis. Had my thyroid checked recently and it's within the normal range for the average no but a little on the under active side for ttc. Haven't really a clue what's going on just keeping hope. Feel very blessed to have our 3 beautiful babas but as a teacher I'm always surrounded by children and have always dreamt of a big family so here's hoping we will manage again! I'm 32 x

I'm 7dpo and trying very hard not to symptom spot or get ahead of myself! Good luck ladies x

ontono3 · 21/02/2018 11:38

Wow a lot going on then sorry your having so much trouble @mamabear05 it's going to be a long road for me to as I previously had the depo injection and also have pcos ttc really can be shit I had 8 miscarriages be for I had my son only took 4 months to conceive my daughter

mamabear05 · 21/02/2018 11:52

@ontono3 8 miscarriages sounds awful but fab news that you have had healthy pregnancies too. Did you do anything different with your successful pregnancies or get any medical assistance at all? The GP has put me on baby aspirin throughout cycle, upped my Vit D and has prescribed me a high dose folic acid from when I get another bfp so hoping these will help. If we conceive this cycle and lose again then we're going to have a few months off then try again and if it keeps happening after that then I think we're going to book a private consultation just to get things checked out. My GP is incredibly supportive but there's only so much she can do x
