April 2ww

[PassTheAfterEights]

2dpo & staring down another abyss of symptom analysing, early test resisting, date calculating, FW debriefing crazy brain.

Anyone care to ride it out together? Welcome spotters and distractors alike x

Thanks starwishing I feel more normal now! The thing is I see them almost every day in my job in childcare, they just got to me yesterday!

@sunshineandsparkles omg!!!!! Congratulations, GREAT line!!! This is the good news we needed, so happy for you!!

hey to the new MN'ers on the block :) if you haven't already have a look at the conception forum 'bus' threads - this is the current (second) April bus (meaning for those hoping for BFP in April) www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/3224431-April-Bus-2

there's a lot of great advice and knowledge share around apps and ovulation and spotting and symptoms and testing and all that stuff basically.

@winterwarmers how annoying - the bloody blue dye tests are so unreliable. keeping fingers crossed you're not out.

same goes for @sexnotgender so cruel, depends on how heavy it is really - spotting or light bleeding can be fine in early pregnancy, normal AF style flo is probably not great news. if you're on the fence another test should help. huge fx for you that it's not over x

@lolacola13 how are you, any news today?

still technically in 2ww wait here, AF due yesterday and for the first time in living memory she's late. It doesn't mean anything other than she's more of a bitch than I already thought and have no expectations of the test I have to do for the clearblue trial this morning (had an annoying 0513 wee too so won't exactly be FMU). just really looking forward to seeing that "NOT PREGNANT" 👌😭

aaaaaand baby bombed last night by DH's best girlfriend's second pregnancy. sob.

good luck and good vibes to all xx

meant @sunshinesparklessmiles obviously and now desperately hoping there isn't another MN'er with the handle sunshineandsparkles who I just managed to congratulate on their pregnancy...

@PassTheAfterEights hey ! No pos news here intact the opposite had a bfn today on my last frer . Have no more cheapies or any tests left in house so just going to wait patiently for af this weekend . Sunday Monday it should be here . Not buying anymore tests can't afford it! Had a little cry this morning but onwards I have revision to do and a house to clean. 🙄. Think I'm going to have to start being really stern with myself and delete mumsnet or stop buying tests and start living a bit more ... 4 months in and I'm already starting to lose it / not be able to concentrate on anything else . It's like some sort of primal urge which I know is natural at 30... but doesn't bode well for ones mental health . I can't begin to imagine how it feels for people trying a year+...

Ahh @lolacola13 everything you said, basically. I've been woefully weak and i suppose obsessive about early testing since we started ttc 5 cycles ago and it obviously didn't help that we got an early bfp on the first go, but now dawning that it's probably £65 we'd have had for something else. plus the downside for one's outlook. i get it for people whose cycles are all over the place but i can't claim that as an excuse. the only thing is, those bastard early lines might indicate repeat chemical pregs for me and if that's the case i need to take it seriously. ugh. will think clearer about all of it once AF has been. well done for your PMA, taking a leaf out of your book! x

I reckon I’m out, clotting and some cramping.
So disappointed.

So we're all having a bit of a shit week. Lol chin up girls . We should all try and book something to cheer ourselves up . Everyone book a salon appointment or girls night out . Vino a plenty! Xoxoxoxo

sexnot im so sorry. How are you feeling? Was af late?

Feeling really crappy. AF was 4 days late and I got a positive test day 4.

Thank you @passtheaftereights for your mind words. I'm not due AF unti Monday so have an early result, keeping everything crossed that it sticks. I must admit I'm feeling very giddy from it all right now.
Wishing everyone all the best and lots of baby dust xx

sex you poor thing. I would give it a few days then test again. You really never know with bleeds. If it does turn out to be bad news please look after yourself and use the support on here. Ive had two losses and a stillbirth and know how heartbreaking it is. In kping everything crossed for u tho.

Thanks Dboo. Pretty sure it’s a loss but I’ll maybe test Friday anyway.

@PassTheAfterEights
I do indeed exist! Certainly not on the baby bus but thanks for the giggle!!

bfn i shall await af as normally only have a 11 day wait after ov before af :( really thought this was our month

Oh nooooo @sunshineandsparkles so sorry 🙈 first time for everything, had to be a new pregnancy didn't it... what a goose. Happy Thursday!

Ah love @winterwarmers me too, big hand hold. I can't even hop on the May bus yet, still waiting for AF two days overdue, no idea what's going on - never ever late ever. Will see you on it once she arrives though I hope x

@lolacola13 like your thinking ;) spa day here we come..! x

@PassTheAfterEights i hope af doesn't take too long to come for you or me i packed my bag with sanitary towel etc i would have packed chocolate however i am doing slimming world so couldn't :(

@sexnotgender so sorry to hear that! :-( look after yourself.

Anyone else still waiting to test I'm only about 3/4 days dpo. I've been quite good not thinking about it too much or symptom spotting like mad but today I'm having mild cramps in my belly and it's got me wondering. Still too early prob though and I'm going to try not to take a test until af due if doesn't come on time. I'm not due on until next weekend so a while to go still yet!

I am waiting to test, but not very hopeful.

Was very emotional/ irrational on Sunday and thought something was up. I tested on Monday (9dpo) and got a bfn. Later that evening got some spotting and had cramping all night, and assumed that AF was arriving early (put emotions down to PMS). Went to work all prepared for AF on Tuesday but she is MIA.

Cramping has now stopped and I have no symptoms to speak of. Will wait till the weekend, and if AF is still MIA might do another test on Saturday.

There might be a line....it's so thin I can only see it if I don't look straight at it....
Or I might be kidding myself.
Af due today....

AF due tomorrow but still testing negative. So feel sure I'm out. Just want AF to come now so I can get onto the next cycle.

@sprinkleofsunshine yeah I'm 10 dpo I think but I haven't decided I'll test early yet probably no point. Feel exactly the same as usual, moody, spotty, crampy so fairly certain I'm out anyway

Brown discharge tonight. Same happened last month with no actual period arriving. Starting to panic there is something really wrong with me. Almost hoping for a full on period now to prove to myself my body is okay.

Well af was due yesterday. Nothing yet. Negative on my clear blue advanced fertility monitor this morning and was negative on frer on Tuesday. Although I’m clinging onto hope....I feel I’m out :( I’m approx 15dpo

cd32 of a normal 29 day cycle and af is officially late taking into account for late ovulation. Temp dipped slightly today but not much so will wait and see didn't bother testing today
