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!!

BFN for me this morning at 12dpo and starting to get PMS signs 😩

@bluemoon2468 that test this morning is great! 🎉😁

Congratulations @bluemoon2468

Going by my cycles pre MC, AF should have arrived yesterday, it didn't! I have no signs that AF is coming anytime soon either, which also means no pregnancy symptoms, although I had no symptoms with my son!!
I'm 9dpo, going to try & hold off testing for a few more days yet.

So excited for you blue pom!!

I had another stark white BFN on a FRER with FMU this morning. It's now 12 days since my positive OPK and I've just bet my DH money (figure of speech) that AF will show today. I really really think I'd be getting a squinter on a FRER at 12 days past the positive OPK day!

@charlesthekudu I'm in the same boat, 12dpo and a BFN this morning 😩

My spotting has turned into AF today 😭😭😭

So weird though as the spotting started 5dpo and today I'm still like a week early for AF 😟

Good luck to the rest of you lovely ladies xxx

I'm really sorry @Katnissx

12dpo and negative on One step. My husbands telling me to do a FRER tomorrow! He's worse then me 😂 I'm kind of wanting to put it off as I know if I do a FRER at 13dpo it's game over and I don't want to face that yet 😩 I know that sounds insane x

@AnxiousAnnie86 it doesn't sound insane. It's the hope that keeps us going!

I'm so torn this is one of the weirdest cycles I've ever had. Latest ov ever and longest cycle ever. Stark white BFN's and still no AF. I'm torturing myself. I've resorted to doing cheap tests every time I pee even though on the minimal chance I was pregnant I know that HCG rises every 48 hours so testing every 4 hours is only creating a loaded bathroom bin.

For some stupid reason every time I do a test it buys me a handful of hours of 'peace'.

I will do a FRER tomorrow and with that I think will truly be my actual last bit of hope. If it's a BFN then I know truly by tomorrow morning that it's not happening for me this month.

@Katnissx have you tested just incase?

@charlesthekudu are you officially late now? It really sucks have you any symptoms at all?, :( my boobs are still so so painful and had a headache for days but that's all x

Looks like I'm out, AF has just shown up 😩. Good luck ladies! 😁🤞🏻

@AnxiousAnnie86 best of luck for today! Just wanted to say that I've just managed to get a positive on a clearblue digital and a very dark line on a FRER, and still only a very, very faint line on a one step. I've lost all faith in them!

@bluemoon2468 how many dpo are you?

I'm 10dpo, did a one-step & mommed test this morning, both bfn

I chickened out!!! Did a one step instead! BFN or morning my 6am eyes can see anyway! I'm all out of one steps now so FRER for me tomorrow! Why am I like this 🤣

@bluemoon2468 that's really good! I don't think it would feel real to me till I saw it in words!

Anyone else have any luck? X

Morning my 6am eyes*

Nothing* my gosh, I can't even type let alone see!

@kkr168 still only 10DPO according to my app, but I got a strong BFP at 8DPO and have already got my digital positive even though AF isn't due for 4 days. I don't think my ovulation date is right. So tbh I really don't know how many DPO I am 🤷‍♀️

@AnxiousAnnie86 this is ridiculous. I have half a mind to throw my whole box of ICs away 😆

@bluemoon2468 I honestly can't believe how faint that line is on one step!

Wow that one step test really doesn't show anything! I'm going to order some frer & test again at 12dpo

13 days since my solid smiley on clear blue digital OPK and another stark white BFN on a FRER. I'm now on cycle day 38 so period is definitely later than usual. But I know inovulated a whole week later due to flu. So whilst it's late I don't think it's late due to pregnancy rather late due to a late ovulation.

I'm feeling really flat :(

The only things keeping me bagulay vaguely hopeful is the fact AF isn't here yet. Until she shows I will do a FRER every morning (I'm going to be poor but I truly don't trust the internet cheapies - they tricked me last pregnancy and never really got a strong line on them!)

@charlesthekudu tested with an IC this morning just incase but BFN. Keep hearing pregnancy announcements recently, it feels like everyone around me is pregnant at the moment. It's so hard 🙁
Good luck- you're not out until AF shows!

@bluemoon2468 wow I knew Onestep were rubbish but didn't realise they were THAT rubbish 🤦‍♀️

So I thought AF had arrived yesterday after having a half decent amount of red bleeding but today at 13dpo I am back to a small bit of brown blood so who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️

My frers are still bfns. Think AF would be due Wed or Thu so will try to leave it til then. When I was pregnant in December I had a neg frer 24th and positive 25th. Keep those fingers crossed

BFN followed shortly by AF. Ladies it's been a blast. Thanks for irrationally POAS as early as 4DPO with me. As dramatic as it sounds I think I'm bidding farewell as I think me being active on multiple threads (including starting two of my own for the TWW) hasn't necessarily been good for my mental health and I've been actually obsessive!!

So from next week when AF finishes I will be following the SMEP plan, keeping healthy, using preseed, digital OPKs and then as per SMEP not testing until 15 days post my positive OPK, enjoying the DTD and keeping a bit more perspective during the TWW... best of luck for this still in the race I will keep my eyes out the next few days before dipping out and laying low
