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!!

@charlesthekudu I've got to the point now where I would take the sickness! I'm really hoping for a positive next week it's our five year anniversary and would be so so lovely to tell my husband! When are you testing? X

AliSxo · 19/01/2020 20:52

I wanted to test today at 4dpo how silly lol I know it would have been bfn so decided not to be so silly!! It's so exciting knowing I'm going to POAS!! I'll start on Friday when I'm 9DPO even still that's early XX

charlesthekudu · 20/01/2020 07:35

It's just so tempting isn't it! Frustratingly because of the flu I had this month and the fact I ovulated a full week late... I think AF will be late regardless because my cycle was disrupted because of the flu. So I can't really rely on how late AF is because there's a good chance I'm going to be naturally late! If I go by The 'rules' I should test 15 days after my first positive ovulation test which would be the Monday 27th!!!
No way I can wait another full week!!

@charlesthekudu that's the exact date of mine too!! I'm trying to put off the testing by using opks. Mine started to go back positive the last time which is was prompted me to take a test.... unfortunately that pregnancy ended in MC,
Now I may be clutching at straws here and I know it isn't positive but this is my opk.... they've been much much lighter ever since O. Also have such a bad headache this morning x

@AliSxo I was the same this morning, wanted to test at 4dpo 🤦‍♀️ managed to stop myself (just about)!

@charlesthekudu my ovulation was late too, Ovulated on CD 26 due to a CP last month which has messed up this months cycle! I'm going to try really hard to wait till 14dpo to test in fear of having another CP. It's so hard though isn't it! I will probably crack and end up testing early any way 🤦‍♀️

@AnxiousAnnie86 aww that would be lovely for your 5 year anniversary. I really hope this is your month! 🤞

charlesthekudu · 20/01/2020 08:19

@AnxiousAnnie86 that looks very promising!!

charlesthekudu · 20/01/2020 08:20

@AnxiousAnnie86 how many days DPO are you. I gave up testing even with OPKs but now you're tempting me!

OP posts:
AnxiousAnnie86 · 20/01/2020 08:26

@charlesthekudu 😂 it probably means nothing to be honest but it takes the edge off my testing addiction 🤣🤣 I'm 6/7 xx

charlesthekudu · 20/01/2020 08:29

Ah that's so exciting!! I'm definitely going to do one this afternoon!! Yes I'm 6/7 too!

OP posts:
AnxiousAnnie86 · 20/01/2020 08:32

@charlesthekudu I will take another a bit later see what it does, if I can hold off going for a wee! Let me know what happens with yours!!! X

charlesthekudu · 20/01/2020 08:46

I will do! POAS addicts anonymous 😂

charlesthekudu · 20/01/2020 10:11

Negative OPK 😩 well there is the faintest of second lines but I think that's because my
LH surge was 6 days ago only so it's probably being detected from that. It's somewhat prepared me for the inevitable negative pregnancy test / AF arrival this week so probably a good thing I tested today!

OP posts:
charlesthekudu · 20/01/2020 10:25

@AnxiousAnnie86 I'd be testing on a FRER tomorrow morning if I were you!

OP posts:
AnxiousAnnie86 · 20/01/2020 10:34

@charlesthekudu I think mines just a fluke! Implantation wouldn't of even happened yet I don't think meaning it can't be the hcg setting it
Off! Same for you! There is plenty of time for both of us this time round!! X

Katnissx · 21/01/2020 14:13

How's everyone doing today?

@AnxiousAnnie86 any update with the OPKs?

@charlesthekudu you always have a bit of LH during your cycle so that is why it is showing up. Don't be disheartened because it was faint, doesn't mean you're not PG!

I've had a bit of spotting today (5dpo) which coulddd be implantation bleeding.. or it could just be my body doing something else weird as it seems to like doing! I'm hoping it's not going to turn into early AF 😫

AnxiousAnnie86 · 21/01/2020 14:27

@Katnissx it was stil an obvious line this morn but not as dark and a one step was negative x

AnxiousAnnie86 · 21/01/2020 14:29

@Katnissx it was stil an obvious line this morn but not as dark and a one step was negative x

Spotting is a very hopeful sign! Fingers crossed! Anything else??

Sorry hadnt finished.... still no sign of symptoms for me, my boobs are ever so slightly sore but that's all..: I really don't have a good feeling! Anyone else any symptoms,

charlesthekudu · 21/01/2020 14:45

So obviously (since I started and made a call for all irrational people to join me)
I've taken two pregnancy tests today. Why not hahaha oh dear. Very foolish. Absolute stark BFNs which of course they would be 8 days after my positive OPK. The addition continues...
The spotting sounds good - to the previous poster!
And Anxious your line is much darker than my OPK.
One of us has to hit jackpot right!
My FRERs arrived this afternoon so I look forward to trying (probably all four) tomorrow because I'm quite frankly a maniac.

eatanazurecrayon · 21/01/2020 15:23

@charlesthekudu I did one this morning 😂👍🏽

AnxiousAnnie86 · 21/01/2020 15:41

@charlesthekudu hahaha I did a one step
One This morning! Negative, obviously! I've got 2x FRER coming today/tomorrow but reallly going to try holding out till the weekend to test on them xx

Jurassiclover · 21/01/2020 17:24

I've had some mid cycle spotting which never happens for me but it was at 3DPO (predicted by app) so surely too early for implantation, also had some cramps which have been one sided and felt very different to period cramps which is strange!

Fighting the urge to test hahaha

charlesthekudu · 21/01/2020 18:08

Wonderful! I'm in good company with the super early testers. I'm tempted to give DH my FRERS and say I'm not allowed one until Friday morning on a strict one per morning basis.... but it might end up like that situations when I say 'encourage me to excercise' and then I lose my rag and open the biscuits in defiance!

Caved and did an Asda cheapy, bfn of course 🤦‍♀️

Irrational 2/3DPO 2ww'er welcome!!
AnxiousAnnie86 · 21/01/2020 19:17

@Jurassiclover we are all at it today! 🙈

charlesthekudu · 21/01/2020 20:19

Haha we are very cheeky

I've got an all day conference tomorrow and will likely get home really late. So that's tomorrow I won't test, then Thursday will be 10 days since my positive OPK so a bit more realistic to test. I've got a feeling AF is going to show up before I get into the 11/12DPO stage.
