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

@PassTheAfterEights I'm really trying not to get my hopes up, I've always been a symptom spotter, and have been convinced by the slightest little thing in the past. I'm suddenly strangely calm about what should be the biggest symptom...

I'm away with work all next week, so either I test alone in a hotel room (and deal with the fall out myself) or wait until next Sat to test. I suspect I won't have the patience to wait....Grin

Lavendersblue42 · 07/04/2018 20:24

@passtheaftereights going to test next Saturday so test twin with @flippychick unless I cave and go earlier!

flippychick · 07/04/2018 20:33

@Lavendersblue42 I'm competitive, so aiming to hold out longer than you may just be the motivation I need to hold on until Saturday Grin

helloworld88 · 07/04/2018 20:38

@PassTheAfterEights I also open my clue and fertility friend app multiple times a day to see if they've changed 😂😂😂

peachesarenom · 07/04/2018 21:37

I check clue hourly too! You defo deserve #pro PassTheAfterEights

winterwarmers · 08/04/2018 06:21

@PassTheAfterEights nope still no ovulation as we of yet but think i may have had a chemical last month so that may have thrown my body out.

i'm on cd20 with no ovulation yet when normally it is cd18 at least i know my period will be late already

Secretlifeofme · 08/04/2018 06:42

Hi, can I join for support? I am 13dpo but have been having some very weird symptoms, started brown spotting at 7dpo and was excited because I thought it was implantation bleeding, but the spotting has continued every day (literally a couple of spots, sometimes only visible when I wipe) and I have now had 2 BFNs so I'm fairly sure it's another issue and I'm not pg :(

flyingplum · 08/04/2018 09:48

Just coming to the end of mine here, if it's ok to join? I really shouldn't test until Monday, so have resisted buying any. I'm trying hard not to symptom spot and get hopes up. I had CCM and my boobs are MASSIVE but both happen occasionally before a period, so I will NOT get hopes up. WILL NOT.

@Secretlifeofme you poor thing, how annoying - any previous worries or worth checking up with GP? still hope it turns out to be good news for you, and @flyingplum - well done for getting this far!

@winterwarmers that makes total sense, hence the VFL's - if so am really sorry for you. Hope you ovulate soon. To my dismay i reread the clearblue instructions for control testers this morning and the kits they give you at the end aren't the ones from the trial but normal ones available in the UK - SOB!

@Lavendersblue42 @flippychick love the testing pact!! no chance I'll make next weekend but will try not to pee on too many expensive ones beforehand

@peachesarenom @helloworld88 resolutely stuck at 5dpo today, damn tech ;)

Feeling very flat and pissy at the moment, living in a barn at PIL's not helping. A nice Wine would...

Aahhh hi DD warmers! x eek that sounds hopeful, huge fx you're finally there. no not allowed to use any ovulation products while on test and i never have in the past but if we have another cycle next month I'll use the ones they send, and probably order a bunch of one-steps too, and get into it.

Secretlifeofme · 08/04/2018 15:29

@PassTheAfterEights thank you, it is really annoying! I have had two previous miscarriages and one chemical pregnancy, so am going to the docs tomorrow - want to get it sorted out hopefully, whatever it is! It's almost more annoying than just getting my period really!

winterwarmers · 08/04/2018 16:08

@MaGratgarlik1983 do you have any others to repeat the test i can see a line but it is flooded?

MaGratgarlik1983 · 08/04/2018 19:08

Yep was BFN. So gutted. Going to step away from it all for a bit and wait for af.

Eyedontknow · 09/04/2018 06:36

Can I join? Glad I'm not the only one who continually refreshes tracking apps Grin
Sorry about your bfn @MaGratgarlik1983.

My app tells me I am 12/13dpo, but I typically get sore boobs right after ovulation time that last till I get my period and they only started hurting yesterday, making me think I ovulated a lot later than I thought I did even though I had the normal FW symptoms when the app predicted I would.

I hate symptom spotting, but I just can't seem to stop Angry

gemsparkle84 · 09/04/2018 07:09

Hi all Smile would love to join. I'm CD 24 (28) and have like some of you been driving myself mad with early testing when I promised myself I wouldn't..... now I keep getting BFN and don't know why I'm surprised Easter Hmm

The last two days I've felt very feverish hot/ cold and achy and very dizzy.

Good luck everyone and congrats on the BFPs xxx

winterwarmers · 09/04/2018 09:01

still a high reading on clearblue but i think as you have to test in the morning i missed the surge. Clear big temprise this morning ewcm yesterday so think i have finally ovulated hurrah

i can now enjoy the tww not

MaGratgarlik1983 · 09/04/2018 12:20

Hi ladies. I'm so confused I don't know what to think. Still no af and, I know the blue dye tests are terrible etc, but I had a spare so took it this morning and can see something. Arggh.

@MaGratgarlik1983 so bizarre. Can't see anything on the one step but there's a line on the blue dye. At the absolute earliest you must now be 13dpo right? On that basis I reckon I'd go get a FRER - if pg it will def show and they aren't prone to the same evaps & indents as cheapies and blue dyes. I'd rather know than wait for AF but that's just me!! fx for you.

Congrats on ovulation @winterwarmers happy for you, happy tww!!

Hi & welcome & good luck @gemsparkle84 @eyedontknow

Good luck at the docs today @Secretlifeofme hope they have something reassuring for you, thinking of you x

@flyingplum did you do a test?!

clairehr · 09/04/2018 15:04

Jumping on board, 7dpo and driving myself mad already. 1 week down, 1 to go... sigh!

TwittleBee · 09/04/2018 15:26

Hey there, here on another 2ww thread again. 2dpo on cycle 8 TTC #2. Have a feeling about this one.

MaGratgarlik1983 I agree with PassTheAfterEights, go get a FRER if you can't be waiting any longer. FX!

clairehr hi there, when you gonna start POAS?
