Anyone on 2ww going crazy 😂

[Longestride25]

It’s our first month of vaguely trying so I’m not convinced that it will obviously happen but despite that it’s dragging so much !
AF due 13 th !!

Hello, another newbie

Love the peeing on a fiver analogy. I’ve peed on too many fivers

BFN on a cheapy yesterday at 9dpo

Constant stitch for 3 hours today. Blamed ibs but it’s no better with going to the loo. It’s very strange.

Welcome @NamechangeTTC :-)

Anyone else have those few days where they just generally feel crap? I still have niggly ache in my lower right back. Constantly hungry, I'm ashamed to say I ate a whole pizza at 10.30 😱. What is wrong with me!!

Yeah I have those crap feeling days. .. I tend to test on those days which doesn't help so not recommended! I am constantly hungry too. Whole pizza is totally fine! As long as you enjoyed it :). I keep wanting beans on toast. But this isn't unusual and unlikely a sign. Is anyone checking their cervix? Mine feels like af is coming. Very depressing

@KittyJean I can't even use the excuse it was a kids pizza because it wasn't 😂
Haven't thought to check cervix.
I just feel like I usually do before af, irritable, tired and hungry!!

I’ve never checked my cervix @KittyJean and not sure I’d know where to start. They seem to have enough issues locating the little bugger for smears.

I have never checked my cervix so am not about to start now, wouldn't know what I was doing or what it should be like! I don't feel like af is coming but then I never do so that's frustrating in itself, because I don't know until the last minute!

I bought more frer I can surely try one tomorrow morning, 11dpo? The not knowing is killing me, there's enough that I already don't know at the moment with Covid hanging over us all.

Oh we’re on the same timeline @Foggymist I’m 11dpo tomorrow.

I’ve still got a stitch and trying to work out if I’ve put my back out or not

Any pain normally is much higher. This is just below lowest rib.

Ha just me with the cervix checking then. I saw it on a thread once and learnt later apparently it isn't that helpful anyway. Best to stay in blissful ignorance I say! @Foggymist I would say try to hold off until your due date as we all know the heartache it causes but if you have to test then just do it. So long as you can afford it! A woman has to do what she has to do in this 2ww. Best wishes if you do!

Friday just seems so far away! I've always had clear positives on the day af is due on regular cheap strip tests so am hoping using frer's for the first time might give me an earlier response either way.

@KittyJean I don't get any symptoms before AF. So confused by all these cramps I've been getting. My bbt and RHR drops 2 days before AF arrives so know when to expect it. As I track bbt I know when I ovulated. So not a necessarily a prediction from an app as I know these are unreliable. Will just have to wait 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh @LemonDrizzle44 fingers crossed! For all of us

I tested

Sorry ladies, just catching up! Anyone else find it tough to write this reply when everyone is over two pages to tag?! 😂 I keep forgetting who said what that I want to reply to.

Welcome to all the newbies!

@Sionemam how are you?! Af due today if I remember right from the last page 😂 no test yet?

@LemonDrizzle44 a great sign that your bbt and rhr have stayed high, plus the cramps 🤞🏻 I’d be peeing on fivers every day now 😂

@Foggymist ahhh congratulations!! That’s a definite line right there 🎉🎉

@Katierose34 I am living for your 10:30 pizza 🙌🏻

@KittyJean I once tried to check my cervix and didn’t have a clue what I was even checking for so I gave up and left it off my list of things I obsess over 😂

Hope everyone is feeling good! X

Hi @Amy259 good memory, it’s here but I was on my Euros break from ttc so no big surprise there! How are you doing this month?

@Foggymist yey! Congratulations:-) what a lovely line.

@Foggymist congratulations!!! What a lovely thing to see! I dream of this line! You just be thrilled. Yay!

Thank you, I'm shell shocked more than anything! Had a chemical before so will take it one day at a time for now. Hope there's some more lines joining it here soon!

@Foggymist woohoo, congratulations!

Congratulations @foggymist looking forward to more.

I’m CD 23, around 5dpo today. Before noon I managed 1.5 sandwiches, big bag of crisps, a tunnocks teacake and some werthers originals.
Have decided I’m having a drink and a cappuccino this weekend if no BFP

Congrats @Foggymist! I tested at 8dpo bfn 🤣 why o why do I test earlier

@Foggymist congratulations ❤

I'm 11dpo and have peed on a fiver twice today 😄 BFN unfortunately! I got really emotional last night, I just felt like this month would be the one after the CP last month, I know ot doesn't work like that. Plus we did bd a lot, maybe that's the problem!

I've now managed to convince myself that I ovulated 2 days after my peak (why?!) and that implantation probably didn't happen for another 9 days after that and so I'm still too early to test. I'm just giving myself false hope and making myself feel crap. I need to stop as I am going to make myself ill.

Hope everyone is ok.

Welcome to all the newbies.

@Trying4one how are you?

Congratulations @Foggymist similar to my BFP on 10dpo
Does anyone else find that email notifications all of a sudden just stop for the groups you follow? I then check in a find that I have missed a whole day of messages 😂
@LetsD0ThisThing Aww don't be so hard on yourself. Last weekend I spent convinced I wasn't pregnant and that it wasn't my month and then got my BFP. Anything is possible. Problem is trying to keep expectations in check because otherwise when AF arrives you are disappointed. Such a fine balance 🤦
I am not too bad. Not got a such cramps but I am pretty gassy and got trapped wind 🤣. I have managed to get a telephone appointment with a GP on Thursday as I need to discuss my medications and being pregnant. Hoping I will be able to get a early scan in a couple of weeks. Even though I have had my BFP I am terrified I will go to the loo and find blood

@Sionemam I’m good thank you! Just 4dpo here. Found out about an hour ago that I got a new job so that’ll cushion my blow if it doesn’t happen this month - need to be in it for 4 months before you conceive to qualify for mat pay 🤣

@LetsD0ThisThing sorry to hear you’re feeling a bit rotten, I hate days like that. It’s so hard to balance feeling positive but not getting your hopes up, with feeling negative and down about it. When is af due again?

@Trying4one I’m sure it’s totally normal to feel like that until you’re further along - I know I’ll be the same! Glad you’re not feeling sick or anything yet, just the gas to contend with haha.

@Trying4one yes my emails stop until somone tags me then I get an emails and the rest start coming through again. That's completely normal, I don't think you will ever fully relax. I was always running to the loo certain I could 'feel' blood through my pregnancies (I have 2DS).

@Amy259 congratulations on your new job! 😃
AF is due Thursday.

@Amy259 congrats on the new job! I'm one week into starting mine and only just thought about the non maternity pay! I hated the job I was in and managed to get a better paid one so took the Plunge
Then thought now much my new manager would hate me if I fell pregnant anytime soon - as work for a small family run company so having that chat would be awkward

When do you need to tell your employee you're pregnant and also is it definitely 4 months then you are entitled but if we were to fall pregnant before we wouldn't get any pay?

I'm cd 25 of 28 and it's dragging!
