TWW begins...stop me POAS every day!

[GlamourBear]

Anybody else? I'm on CD16, pretty sure I ovulated over the past day or two, now for the long frustrating wait to POAS! Why is it so hard to resist for 14 measly days?!

We are TTC #2 and this is our first cycle of trying.

Serious lack of appetite today, the thought of lunch made me feel queasy! I just bought two frer, shall I test in the morning or wait another couple of days?

Betty as you bought two, I would test again in the morning! I seriously couldn't wait any longer if it was me. I have my fx for you!

Hello all! Hope you're all well. Took some time off thinking about it all (well a few days..) but am back on the bus.
How is everyone?
Am having some confusing signs (started getting flashy smileys much earlier than usual) and DP is away til Fri (O originally predicted on Sat) so now I'm freaking out. Ah, the fun begins again!

FX for you @AnxiousBetty !!

I'm CD 9 today and look what I got this morning. I sent this picture to my dh to give him the heads up 😂

It recorded a surge in my estrogen, so it's pretty cool. Thing is I didn't realise when I set it up that you have to use fmu. I set it up so that I could test during my lunch hour like you would with other opks.i have to hold my fmu until 8am when I can test. Major bladder exercises occurring

Lottie great to have you back. Just before ovulation gives you the best chance of conceiving if I am correct. Fx your DH will be back in time

Betty Fingers crossed for you! Remind me again, how many DPO are you?

Carastar ooh what contraption is that, please?

Good luck to everyone!
I’m 9 (or 8) DPO and trying so hard not to test tomorrow. AF is due on Sunday if I’m having another 29 day cycle. I’m overthinking missing DTD on both days that I had positive OPKs...

Hi Lottie hopefully your DP will back just in time for that static smiley!

Hi ladies! Nothing on the frer..... maybe the test yesterday was a chemical? Maybe I should expect a bleed. Who knows!
Others who have got pregnant with implant never got their bfp, only knew after blood test!
Also last time (miscarried) I felt it for 3 weeks before I got my BFP

Hi All,

I have been hiding in the wings for the last 3 months reading up on everyone's experiences and you all seem to help each other so I hope you don't mind me joining in!

First month TTC I had a chemical pregnancy, last month nothing and this month I am all over the place!

Last AF was tuesday 21st August. We DTD 25th, 26th, 27th, 31st August and 3rd, 4th, 6th September. Then on Sunday 9th I started cramping and had a small amount of light pink blood on the tissue. I have had cramps every day since. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and today. I think I might have ov'd on Monday 3rd and I'm not sure exactly when my AF is the. Last cycle was 25 days, cycle before was 23 days.

Yesterday I did a HPK and it was a very faint pink line, this morning it was fainter than yesterday (I would have missed it if it wasn't for yesterday's) I am so worried as this is what happened TTC #1 and my AF came. The cramping since Sunday has felt my AF is about to start any minute

I can't concentrate on work and feel very nervous!

I know there's nothing I can do but wait but it's all consuming and if the little bean is there then this worrying really can't be helping:(

I hope you're all keeping strong xx

Hi @Curlywurly, welcome back @Lottie.

Sorry to hear about all the testing confusion @AnxiousBetty. Hope you get an answer soon.

I've noticed something positive this week, it's a month now since I stopped breastfeeding and my skin is nice again! It was so red and blotchy on my cheeks for the whole of pregnancy and breastfeeding. My body getting back to normal I think.

An unusual thing... I just noticed my cervix is REALLY open right now...on calendar day 7?!

Bubble it's a clear blue advanced monitor. It's currently reduced in Boots at the moment. It's really cool 🤗

Hi and welcome curlywurly!!!

Ladies I've had some very light pink blood when I wipe now but not enough to need a pad.
I've "felt" pregnant for about a week and considering last time I felt it for 3 weeks before I got my bfp. Maybe I'm just testing way way too early.
I might try and hang off in the background for a week and do my best not to test! I'm away with work for 3 days next week so that should take my mind off it, although I'm absolutely dreading how tired I will feel!
I think if I went to the doctors I am probably even too early for it to show on a blood test! Does anyone know how far along you have to be to get a positive blood test result?

I'll keep you girls updated if af arrives or if I test again!
For now my trouble will be staying sane while I wait 😖

@curlywurly, welcome!
Sorry for your chemical, that must be hard and I can imagine it's made you worry. I ovulated around the same time (a day or 2 behind) I know it's such unhelpful advice, but try and relax and test again in a few days.

@anxiousbetty not sure about the blood tests, but a few days distraction will definitely help!

Let us know how you both get on. Now, if I could only follow my own advice to rest, relax and find a distraction... 😂

Chili I never check my cervix, as it tends to be more posterior. Congratulations on the positive improvements 🎉

Welcome Curly I have had a chemical pregnancy as well previously and I felt so upset after it. Sending you a virtual hug 🌟

Betty was your urine concentrated? First morning urine has the strongest concentration of hormones. Try again in the morning if you are still confused. O haven't used hormonal contraception in over 7 years, as it made me very ill. Perhaps you should schedule an appointment with your GP to discuss everything.

Hey cycle buddies, how are you getting on?
@flossytots and @bubblemumma1 Xx

That should be Chiki not Chilli auto predictive text 😖

Oh gosh.... Now I'm wondering if I have or am about to ovulate in some weird cycle glitch!

Carastarchild .... I used lunchtime wee but it was still reasonable concentrated. I'd been holding it in a while coz work was hectic
I'm reluctant to test as o don't want a 5th BFN and don't really want to buy anymore tests this month 😂

Can I symptom check with you ladies?
I've had like SUPER sensitive nipples and girls my nipples are like never sensitive. At all! My boobs and nipples aren't sore or swollen but just sensitive!

I've still getting light cramps but they aren't like stomach period cramps they feel really low.

My appetite has gone from feeling like I could eat a horse and wanting food all day to today when I literally don't have an appetite for anything. The thought of food or looking at food makes me feel a bit nauseous (not majorly but like the back of the throat kind of nauseous)

Has anyone had these symtoms?

Oh and heart palpitations or feeling of a super strong beat

Hi @Londonkez I’m slowly losing my marbles. One min I think this is my month and the next I think maybe not. I cracked today and tested, I got a very faint line on a cheapie which I took as bfn, same on the boots test and a shadow on th first response.

I’m going to skip testing till Friday Saturday now, I can’t afford to keep this up 😂😂😂 also been stuffing my face and massively into sweet stuff and I don’t normally care for sugary treats.

Feeling tired all the time and had some light cramping on my left side but it’s on and off. I just hope it’s a BFP, otherwise I have lost it loool. I called my husband to buy me a cake only because I read about it somewhere 😟🙈

How are you getting on @londonkez and @bubblemumma1...any symptom spotting or POAS?

Meant to say that I took my test as bfn because they were super squinters, until they get darker I’m not considering them 😞

@Flossytots have you tried using an app to show negative images when you take a photo of the test? Helps to see the line more easily. I did this last month when I was taking a lot of tests!

Flossy eek!! Have you got any more FRERs stashed away?

I haven’t cracked just yet! I told myself that I’d either test on Saturday or the same/next day after either yourself or Kez. I figured the Solidarity in early testing would make a BFN easier to deal with.

I’ve been going from convincing myself that I’m upduffed to doubting myself. I keep checking FF religiously, just in case a message pops up saying “You are 100% preggo from your symptoms” 😂 I’m losing the plot.

I’ve been reading threads about “I had zero symptoms then a BFP at 10DPO!”.

Send help! And cake!

I feel so very un-pregnant.

@ChikiTIKI great suggestions, I will look for one. Thank you 🤗
@Bubblemumma1 oh reading this made me laugh because that’s so me right now. Glad to know I’m not alone, kudos for holding off on testing 👍

I bought 4 more FRER’s and a bulk of the internet cheapies but holding off now till either Saturday or after AF. This POAS addiction is expensive 😂😂😂

P.s. Yay for cake 🤤

So pleased I checked in with you both!

@flossytots Ahhhhh!! I have EVERYTHING crossed for you!!!
@bubblemumma1 😂😂 me too!!!

I've had a really awful cold and came home early from work today and keep switching between convincing myself that my back pain is a symptom and then deciding it's probably from lying in bed since lunch time 😂
Had cramps on and off (mainly when I'm relaxed?) for the last few days. And some very bizarre cm - which I obviously Googled but can't find anyone else that has had it? Probably TMI, but it had pin prick sized dark brown dots/clots. 2 or 3 each time I wiped yesterday. Very strange, but doesn't sound like any kind of implantation bleed I've read about so starting to think it's maybe something to do with my cold.
