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

I just wanted to say good luck to everyone on your journey and you'll all get your BFP soon I'm sure. I am leaving the ttc game now as I have just found out I am late menopause and that explains our infertility. Given my age I'm not too surprised as I am a bit long in the tooth for babies anyway. I am going away to do some crying and get angry at myself for waiting too long for a baby. I'll lurk a bit but won't join the new thread.

Thank you for the company so far though xxx

Hi all,

Just jumping on the wagon!

TTC cycle #2
4dpo

The wait last month was a real struggle. Also had tones of symptoms which made it worse and I think I’d deluded myself! A lot more relaxed this month as sure it’s not going to happen as I was out of the country on day of ovulation without OH. DDT 3 days before and then 2 days after so we will see if a miracle happens.

Good luck all x

sprinkleofsunshine · 22/04/2018 20:23

Big hugs @starwishing

Hi @Amcg22 good luck for this round!

DBoo · 22/04/2018 21:24

Dont think this is a pregnancy symptom (sure i have seeb the first signs of af today) but does anyone get stabby pains in their boobs around af?

This is totally new for me lol but im gettinf stabbing pains in my right one and occasionally my left. Never had it before and ive been pregnant three times so think its more af sign. Ive been taking evening primrose oil for about 6 weeks and wonder if its something to do with that.

TakingtheLeap · 22/04/2018 22:13

@DBoo I had stabby pains in my left breast last month. Was first month off Pill so convinced myself it was a pregnancy symptom, but naw...

DBoo · 23/04/2018 07:20

Thanks @TakingtheLeap. Not been on contraception for well over a year maybe my bodys just doing different af symptoms to trick me haha!

EnglishIrishRose · 23/04/2018 07:51

Well knock me sideways with a feather... I'm up the duff! For some reason I can't talk about this without weird phrases Grin

I am 11dpo and got a pretty obvious line on both cheap strip test and Clearblue early response. Much clearer on the CB though, I don't think much of those cheap tests but at least they are cheap!

Well this explains the bloating... BFP!

EnglishIrishRose · 23/04/2018 09:16

Thanks @TinySnowBuddy we are thrilled. It's gonna be a January baby like the rest of my family!

HidCat · 23/04/2018 10:21

@EnglishIrishRose congratulations!

Clacton · 23/04/2018 14:36

Hi!
Can I jump on this thread as it seems very lucky! Congratulations to everyone!

I've been TTC since February last year - it has been difficult!! This month was my first ovulation in the last 14 months and I was over the moon that I'd even ovulated!!

Currently 3 dpo and experiencing so many symptoms that my oh is convinced it has happened. Keep having to remind him that I'll have odd symptoms as my body won't have had these hormones for a while but it does keep ringing at the back of my mind that I might be - fingers crossed!

Is anyone else in their 2ww?

EnglishIrishRose · 23/04/2018 17:18

Thanks hidcat going to go and stalk the pregnancy boards now!

sprinkleofsunshine · 23/04/2018 20:17

Oh wow @EnglishIrishRose massive congratulations! So hope I'll be joining you soon!

sprinkleofsunshine · 23/04/2018 20:18

Hi @Clacton fx for you this cycle! I'm 7dpo, due af week today. It's my first month ttc baby 1. I joined the group super early though so feel like I've been waiting ages already ha

PocketFullofMumbles · 23/04/2018 21:32

I’m so sorry @starwishing Sad and congrats @EnglishIrishRose 🙂

So after several days of shadowy positives on internet cheapies, I followed @waitingforbubbles lead and got a frer - can I now start to get excited?! This is officially no longer a ‘faint’ positive, right?

TinySnowBuddy · 23/04/2018 21:43

DBoo · 23/04/2018 22:15

Good luck with the pregnancies all you bfp'ers!

Woody096 · 23/04/2018 22:21

I am 3dpo... May I join?

Age- 32
Ttc #2
Cycle 8
It didn’t take this long with my first, about 6 months last time so a bit anxious that it’s not happened. Now in the 2ww😳

PocketFullofMumbles · 24/04/2018 09:04

@TinySnowBuddy Grin

sprinkleofsunshine · 24/04/2018 13:12

Congrats to all the bfp's and good luck to you next cycle @DBoo

Is anyone else still symptom spotting and waiting to test? Holding out to test as I know it's too early but might do it on weekend (af due next Monday). Going to be so disappointed/confused if not caught feel like I've had loads of symptoms Hmm

Lemonsnlime · 24/04/2018 16:52

AF this morning 😒 congratulations to the BFPs 👍

vickywood3 · 24/04/2018 19:56

I am 5 days late for AF tested 1 day after missed period and 4 days with BFN. Gutted because you could usually set a clock by me as am so regular 😢. Body is playing cruel tricks on me. @passtheaftereights how are you getting on? Congrats to all your BFPs xx

TinySnowBuddy · 24/04/2018 23:17

Think AF's on her way early. Going on holidays with extended family bang on o time this month so won't really be able to try properly for two months now. Argh.

PassTheAfterEights · 25/04/2018 08:58

Morning kittens :D been reading along but insanely busy few days, so fantastic to see @jallebi @englishirishrose & @@waitingforbubbles congratulations one and all!

Sorry for all who've had AF show up. Especially sorry for you @starwishing, huge hugs x you don't have to answer and sorry for the personal question but will you explore alternatives? lots of smoosh to you anyway x x

@vickywood3 hi! how are you? sorry you're being mucked around - had the same this month, cycles usually consistent 28 days to the hour but AF was four days late. such a fucker. its thrown off what the apps think of my dates this month too but i think it's probably time to embrace the OPK's and basal temp checking now cycle 6 is upon us. trying to keep my chin up but we're in house hunting limbo, baby making limbo and I can't work consistently until we effect our major national move so one way and another all a bit frustrating atm - thank heaven for yoga! I hope AF shows soon & May is a better month for you, will you stay on the buses? x x
