Anybody in their 2WW?

[MMama18]

Pretty sure I ovulated yesterday (hopefully!), due AF on 13th May, anybody else starting their 2WW?

(Warning: I am a serial symptom spotter and POAS addict, I have zero willpower 😂)

@MMama18 just catching up on this thread, OMG congratulations! That is such lovely news 😊 have everything crossed for you that everything runs smoothly. 🤞🏼🤞🏼I'm 10 weeks tomorrow and counting down til I get my 12 week scan! Had an early private one at 8weeks and all looking good but still a bit nervous xx

Well, I'm 13 DPO today. Af due tomorrow on one app and Thursday on another 🙄 Caved and took the only test in my house - 50p one from Home Bargains - BFN. I'm realistic that the test was a right stinker, so there's still some hope.

I fell asleep at 7.30pm last night until 7 this morning! My boobs are also killing me. The next few days will tell I guess.

AF arrived this morning :( 5 days earlier than expected!! So looks like I’m out this month, really though I had implanted earlier at 5DPO it looked really promising so very disappointed! Good look to everyone else waiting this month, hopefully next month will be my month!!

I caved in and took a first response test this morning and it was a BFN. It’s now a week after the day AF should have arrived so i guess it can’t be too early. This has never happened to me before, always having regular and full periods. Not only deflated by the negative result after I thought I could identify so many symptoms but now I’m also wondering if there’s anything seriously wrong with me. Oh well, will have to talk to a GP to see if they have any ideas but last time I got told they wouldn’t investigate yet as it hasn’t been a year of trying.

@Yougottabekittenme sorry you've got your AF. Must be so frustrating. How many cycles have you been trying?

@Roo3125 it's so hard to know whether the test is right or too early. My apps give a few days apart too wth period.

@Gatomum maybe see your gp still? I'm not ok sure as I always have irregular periods really as just come off the pill and they weren't great before so it does seem weird that you're late? Unless you ov late? Did you take opk tests?

I'm 9 or 10dpo. Lost track now! Haha ovulated last weekend so was just aiming to get to this weekend to test or just hold out.

@josprout Feeling awful this morning 🤢 sense of smell is crazy too. The test is not very sensitive and says to use the day after missed period, so I'm hoping that's the case I thought I could see a hint of a line, so took it apart, and there's something staring at me 🤔

@Roo3125 why don't you go and get a clear blue or first response? My eyes were playing tricks on me looking but I don't have the best eye sight!

@josprout I might do 🤔 part of me doesn't want to waste more money on tests though! 😂 If af doesn't show tomorrow as she should then I'll probably buy one for Thursday morning. I must have spent over £50 on frer the first month ttc so don't want to go back there! 🤦‍♀️😂

@josprout I’m only in my 2nd cycle so I know I shouldn’t be complaining!! I’m just so practical and have spent my life being so careful and always using protection and then I have been timing and tracking everything and watching my body like a hawk I assumed it would happen quickly! I bought some ovulation detectors this morning so I hopefully that will help even more!

@Yougottabekittenme might be worth looking at temping, too, at least from next AF - it can really help work out that you have ovulated (if you have pcos, you can get false opk spikes - although if you don’t usually get delayed/skipped months you might not have that)

@Kiskacsa yes I’ve been tracking my bbt for the past two months and checking and tracking cm too, so gonna throw everything at it and start checking ovulation sticks aswell!

@Roo3125 yeh I've been the same buying tests!!! It's a shame they are so much! I suppose if we are pregnant then it will show in a cheapy one if we wait!! I used the cheapy ones when I was pregnant with my son to check in early days that the hormone was still there when i was having spotting. Fingers crossed!

@Yougottabekittenme I'm the same. 2nd cycle. A lot more relaxed than 1st cycle. I use opk and cm checking to find out. And I also have cramping when I ovulate which j never noticed as j was on the pill when you don't have periods x

@josprout you can get one-step ICs from Amazon which are 10mlu which have refused to give me a bfp if it’s too early but showed (faintly) as early as a frer - just have a squint a bit more.

@Kiskacsa thank you! Will have a look at them. Are they more sensitive then?

The lower the mlu, the more sensitive, frer is 6-10mlu, your common garden test 25-50. Always search ICs that tell you their mlu - you can find out brands online. Risk of 10mlu is that they can spot chemicals - which people will call false positives if they don’t understand

It maybe my eyes but I swear I see a faint line?

@josprout I see it!

@josprout Definitely see something there! 🤞

@josprout I see it :-) fingers crossed!

@josprout I see it too! 🤞🍀

Thanks for your support ladies. I definitely see it. I woke up and thought it was going to be sick and was having cramping last night. I only had a cheapy test in the house so did that and it's unclear if there's a line so will go and grab a first response on my lunch break. I'm 10 dpo today so it's very early but I defo saw the line on the first response one. Trying not to get my hopes up. Haven't told my husband yet. Keep getting banging headaches too. 😫

Just done these on my lunch break. BFP 😍

Wow!! Congrats, @josprout! Such happy news!

Woohoo! Congratulations @josprout!!

Congrats @josprout! It seems to have been a relatively lucky month on this list :-) @MMama18 is everything still proving sticky?
