Starting 2ww once again! Who's with me?

[alicepol]

Looks like another 2ww for me, anyone else just Starting? I'm only 2DPO so still 12 days to get through!

Age - 25
TTC #2
Cycle 5
CD 16 on a 27 day cycle (usually)
Only 2 DPO
AF due 25th July

I’m 8dpo and I think I’m inventing symptoms.

Boobs feel a bit bigger, but nipples not sore. Will probably be sore by Sunday though because I keep poking them to see if it hurts 😂

Still have the phlegmy feeling in the back of my throat.

Feel a bit sicky, but that could be to do with the above (non) symptom

Menstral cramps, which I’ve never got before until my mmc in April.

Loads of creamy cm, enough that I have to wear a liner.

Jealous that I haven’t seen any magpies, so I googled a picture of some 🤣

Just checking in. 7-8 dpo here and my boobs are deffo big but could be AF related.

I’ve not been getting to obsessed yet as I had an interview this morning so that has been occupying my headspace for the last week. Now that’s over I’m doomed! Symptom spotting all the way

BB899 fx for the FRER.

@HalfbloodPrincess Haha any excuse eh?

Loving the magpie sightings.... especially the google ones, sounds like legit good luck to me!

Can I still join the symptom spotting (with a VERY tentative bfp on an IC)?

Boob's feel massive and sore (but always get sore ones in the tww).
A couple of dizzy spells
Very convincing af cramps. Hopefully she's not on the way.
A nausea that almost feels like extreme excitement (probably just genuine excitement) like a rolling/butterfly feeling.
A hankering for whole milk.

Omg @TheHalfBloodPrincess that feeling you have in your throat is what I get sometimes! I thought I was just strange! Haha. I'm sorry you have it though cause it doesn't feel nice!

@HettyBettyBoo do you have a photo of you possible BFP?

I'm not getting a huge amount of symptoms myself but the odd few things, creamy CM, strange feeling in the lower tummy, not like cramps but not sure how to describe it, plus it's only happened once and didn't last long, I have been feeling rather tired but that could be due to an emotional week last week (unrelated to TTC).

@purplestar9 I posted a couple up thread. This is from this morning

@HettyBettyBoo sorry I missed them earlier.
I see what you mean, I do see something but it is very faint. I was reading reviews about the ICs the other day and so many people said how bad they were at showing positives. They say they're not as sensitive as they say they are. So hopefully that means you may get a stronger line on a different brand :) Fingers crosses for you!

Well i think i’m out, any symptoms have completely disappeared. Due AF on saturday so trying to hold out til then but we shall see if I manage it....

Saw 3 magpies this morning!

7dpo here and no real symptoms to speak of. Slightly tender boobs but that's normal for this point in my cycle (also I might have poked them to check quite a lot of times!) More CM than usual but I had that last cycle too and I definitely wasn't pregnant then - I think it's a post miscarriage thing, not a pregnancy thing.

Had some cramping today! Only 6-8dpo so too early to be a pregnancy symptom surely, but I rarely have cramps before AF and if I do they are no sooner than like 12 hours before.

Trying not to test until I'm late...

@HettyBettyBoo my IC from yesterday has nothing on it yet I got a faint pink line on FRER!! Yours is looking good....

So I caved... I wanted to wait till the weekend but we have a few things going so tested tonight. BFN as expected. If AF hasn't arrived by Monday/Tuesday then I'll test again but I don't think this will be my month unfortunately. But I'm not 100% out yet!

@hettybettyboo I can see a line on that ic. This thread seems to be pretty lucky 🍀

@HettyBettyBoo I see something too!

almost certain that it isn't going to be our month this month :( i just have that feeling

Aw thanks all. Did a FRER with a held onto wee earlier which was total stark white, not a hint of a second line ! Proper pre AF cramps this evening so the dreaded IC evap strikes again I think. onto 15 months ttc for me.

Will test again with everyone at the weekend if AF has not shown. Good luck to all. Keep up the symptom spotting.

@purplestar9 what dpo are you now? Not out until AF turns out

@HettyBettyBoo - sorry to hear that, it maybe just too early? What dpo are you?

@FlapJackered if I go by my app then I'm 15 DPO but I'm thinking I ovulated late so I'm probably more like 9DPO. I think my cycle is longer than I originally thought to be honest.

@HettyBettyBoo I'm sorry to hear that. Hope you get your BFP soon!

@purplestar9 ah yes I remember now! Good luck. 🤞🏻

I had quite a big temp dip today, just above cover line so sadly I think AF is on her way. 😢

Tempted to test today despite all symptoms disappearing. AF due Saturday. Someone talk me down!!
I just couldn't bear it if it was another chemical but at the same time I've got plans at the weekend and in the week/following weekend that involve drinking.

@flapjackered I wouldn't put everything on temping - especially in the heat. My friend has been temping (I haven't) and this recent heatwave has played haywire with her chart, climbs and dips all over the show that don't necessarily correlate how they would normally. Hers dipped before AF was due and she still got a BFP...

How many dpo are you @mmmgoats?

@mmmgoats - oh really, that's interesting, although still pretty sure I am not.
I know what you mean about testing early for the weekend, I was thinking it would be quite nice to be able to drink 🍷! Although I know if I test and it's a bfn I won't properly trust it until AF is late so I wouldn't drink anyway. Therefore I might as well wait. There are a lot of us testing on Sunday.

What is most annoying is that my AF symptoms are exactly the same as pregnancy ones! Nausea, dizziness, cramps. I looked at my notes from last cycle and sure enough had all these symptoms before AF came. Only two more days before AF now though so at least I will know one way or another soon.
The tww is horrible!!

I'm jealous you only have 2 days left until AF due@FlapJackered I still have until Wednesday! I'm going to test with my cheapies Sunday and Tuesday (11 and 13 dpo) if AF doesn't come Wednesday then il get a FRER for Thursday (15dpo) But not going to buy one until AF is a day late as I don't think I am this month and don't want to waste it!
