Irrational 2/3DPO 2ww'er welcome!!

[charlesthekudu]

If you're addicted to POAS and symptom spotting then join the club!

I'm currently 2DPO after a terrible flu virus caused late ovulation. I'm
Not holding out too much hope as ovulation was about a week late so my luteal phase may prove too short or maybe my LH surge was detected on OPK but I'm too sick this month to actually ovulate. Not much sex this month either. However I'm a crazy person in the 2ww so looking for like minded POAS addicts to join the ride!!

Hey I'll join! 2dpo and I'll test at 9DPO which is next friday. I haven't had a positive OPK this month so just going on the positive OPK dates I had last month to guess this ones. Trying to keep myself busy in the TWW as last month I drove myself wild xx

Welcome @AliSxo I'm also driving myself mad! I keep doing OPK's even though I've seen a surge. Now I'm symptom spotting and counting down days to test. Maybe I will start at 9dpo too. I got my first BFP at 11 DPO. It's going to be a long week...

@charlesthekudu I'm exactly the same! Postive opks Sunday, Monday along with terrible cramps! Was sure was implantation! But opks went negative after a couple of days so I think my first surge was false and I only just ovulated! Since then thought I've had the most painful nipples! Sorry for TMI! I've never had this before unless pregnant! But surely cannot be a symptom 3dpo!! Drives you mad doesn't it! Like you I'm still doing opks twice a day! No idea why! X

I'm 1dpo, this is my 1st tww, hoping for a sticky!!
Had a miscarriage at 6 weeks on 1/1/20, so not sure when AF is/was due, but prior to MC I had 24 day cycles.

How many dpo is it best to test? With my previous pregnancy & then my mc, I didn't test until af was about 5 days late.

Sorry to hear about your MC @kkr168, wishing you luck this month!

@AnxiousAnnie86 I'm also symptom spotting like mad. I feel like I'm about to start my period and feel crampy and achy. The rational side of my brain tells me it's my period imminent. The irrational hopeful part of my brain tells me it's implantation cramps!!

@charlesthekudu that's exactly how I felt on Sunday and Monday! If it hadn't of been for glaringly postive opks I would be sure it was! I had the worst cramps and bloating! Kept checking to see if I'd come on as it felt like they had... by Tuesday just stopped! And opk negative again.... have your opks gone back negative now x

Hi, can I join? 🙋🏼‍♀️

I got my first positive OPK on Weds (15th), DTD tues and weds. Still getting positive on my OPKs today, so also did a HPT earlier just incase (as that was how I found out I was PG with DS), but negative. Had cramping since yesterday and a bit of spotting the day I got a positive OPK . Also POAS addict and will go crazy symptom spotting!
This is our 6th cycle TTC baby #2, suspected chemical PG last month x

@katnissx can I ask what kind of
Cramps do you get with ovulation, I don't normally feel anything but if I do it's a sharp pain... this time it was intermittent period like cramps xx

@AnxiousAnnie86, this is the first month I've actually managed to pinpoint ovulation (so big deal for me 😄), so I don't think it's something that usually occurs for me (or if it is I haven't noticed it/the timing of it). But on Weds when I got my positive OPK, later in the day I had kind of pin pricky cramping on my right hand side, low pelvic area. Then the following day and this morning had light cramping around the middle of my lower pelvic area fairly constantly. It was the kind when I coughed or anything it felt uncomfortable and hurt more. Can't say for sure it is related though!
I think I remember having similar pain (especially feeling it on one side initially) before I fell PG with DS when ovulating but was so long ago I can't really remember what it was like! X

Hi, can I join? 🙋‍♀️

I'm 2DPO, hoping not to test until next Sunday at 10DPO. I'm on cycle 2 TTC #1, but because of Christmas I really didn't look after myself in my TWW last month. This month I'm doing dry January and have been caffeine-free since the start of my fertile week. Had a CP in October before we were trying, due to a slip up with contraception.

Hey, can I join?

Not using OPKs so not 100% sure where I am DPO wise. I had cramps and EWCM on 6th of Jan which would make me 12dpo but my app predicts me to have OV yesterday which would put me at 1DPO.

I've had cramping all this week and had more EWCM and also had the whole when I sneeze/cough it hurts my ovary area so I think app may be right!

Going to try and hold out til 9DPO to test if I can but I'm a serial POAS addict so we'll see 😂

Can I join? I'm 6 DPO following IUI. Have had a bit of cramping and some thicker CM. Trying not to turn every twinge into a 'symptom' but it's hard! Good luck everyone

Welcome @bluemoon2468 @Jurassiclover no judgement on POAS here! Do it multiple times a day if you want 😂

@charlesthekudu honestly I'm terrible for POAS, I find it strangely fun hahaha

@Jurassiclover I love it too!! The thought of seeing a second line it's just so exciting!! It's a real addiction I swear 😂 xx

@AliSxo @Jurassiclover I also love doing it... but from about 9/10DPO I really do pin all my hopes on it. I'm symptom spotting like mad and have pretty much convinced myself I'm pregnant. I will need some serious cheering up this time next week if I've not got a BFP. Even when I got a BFP last time I tested twice a day for a few weeks! Crazy I know

@AliSxo it's so fun isn't it 😂

@charlesthekudu I'm the same with the symptom spotting at the min! I've had tingly and sore nipples, and starting to get a water infection which I never ever get water infections! Will deffo need cheering up if it's a BFN!

I did the same last time too haha! Although mine sadly ended in MC last time so hoping next time is a sticky one! 🤞

I feel crampy, hungry, tired and I feel a big change in my sense of smell. Everything smells weird at the moment! I keep checking my app obsessively and repetitively counting days until I can test. I don't know why continuously looking and counting will magic me from 3/4dpo to 11 but there you go... I love a glass of wine with my dinner most nights and have been off of that too!

@Jurassiclover sorry to hear about the MC x

I am 6dpo now and don't feeling anything at all! No cramps sore boobs or anything. I had really sore nipples from 2dpo to 4dpo! But even that's stopped now! 😩😩

@charlesthekudu I love hearing about other people's symptoms, so interesting to see what everyone's feeling! They sound promising, I hope it's a good sign for you!🤞
And thank you x

@AnxiousAnnie86 I know a few who have said the cycle where they had no symptoms lead to a BFP so it may not mean anything! Keeping my fingers crossed and sending baby dust your way x

@jurrasiclover thank you! You too! I'm hoping so! I hope 6dpo is just too early to have any symptoms going to try wait till the weekend to test but I know I won't! X

My BFP last time didn't come with any symptoms, I convinced myself I wasn't and had a few gins last time so I was very surprised to get that BFP. However having been pregnant I think I'm just looking for symptoms that I remember in my first trimester!

@charlesthekudu I seem to remember from my last pregnancy that The sickness I'm sure started from ovulation till the bitter end 🤣 maybe it just felt like that xx

Oh @AnxiousAnnie86 I hope you don't get it this time round! I had no sickness at all last time!
