In the 2WW and am a serial symptom spotter, anyone else in the same boat so I can try and stay sane? I know it's far too early for anything but every little niggle is making me get my hopes up! X

@fifi1086 have you tested again today.

Iv had no more bleeding 😕 had a negative test this morning, although I know I need to give my body time to build up the levels needed for a bfp. I'm just too impatient 😂

Anyone have any new symptoms today?

Fifi1086 · 23/02/2021 10:02

@812mumof3 yes I did this morning and got BFN, which I'm fine about. 8dpo so very early. I'm not testing again until Friday now but have written myself off this month in my head 😂

812mumof3 · 23/02/2021 10:05

@fifi1086 aw sorry about ur BFN. It is early though. I think I'm 8 or 10dpo 😂 so in other words. Iv absolutely no idea 😕🤦‍♀️

I'm still getting so little light cramps on and off so hoping that's that's good sign after the possible IB yesterday. 🤷‍♀️

mallowmoon93 · 23/02/2021 10:39

I had a sharp pain yesterday and then nothing except tender boobs, but that could just be AF. Usually get cramp pretty early before AF arrives and haven't yet so 🤞🏻 but the closer I get, the more hope I'm losing haha. Probably the best frame of mind for me anyway tbf x

@812mumof3 that sounds promising! I had a IB with my first but was barely noticeable, haven't had that yet so not too hopeful now x

@812mumof3
I think I may be be experiencing implantation bleeding too but not sure, around about 7dpo going off the flo app and my usual ovulation symptoms
AF not due until 4th March so 9 days away
Tested today but negative x

812mumof3 · 23/02/2021 11:10

My IB with my second was literally a dot of bloody, and I mean a dot! This time round, yesterday I went for a wee and whwn I wiped there was a dot of red blood. The next time I went to the toilet and wiped there was a tiny bit of light brown coloured discharge but again, a small, small amount! I had slight cramps around that time too. Had nothing since 🤷‍♀️

At the beginning- 3ish dpo I had a very heavy feel uterus. If I bent over I felt pressure in it and was generally uncomfortable. Iv no idea what's going on, just keeping my fingers crossed.

lelrx · 23/02/2021 11:33

@812mumof3 I'm abit apprehensive because not last month but the one before I spotted for 5 days right up until AF but this time it started 12 days before AF is due, if only men had to go through this! X

812mumof3 · 23/02/2021 11:37

@lelrx aw Well it definitely sounds different for you this month. Was it very light spotting? My husband has no idea what I go through in the 2ww 🤣🤣 he just waits until I tell him I'm pregnant or I tell him AF arrived. He doesn't understand why I google and research all twinges in the 2ww lol. Bloody men! 🙄😂

lelrx · 23/02/2021 11:47

@812mumof3 yeah I don't tell my husband half of the stuff I do because he would think im crazy 😂 I think he thinks I make the symptoms up tbh cause everytime I moan about symptoms I come on my AF!
It's literally only as I wipe, so brown mainly and then on 2 occasions its been pinky brown but still only a small amount on the tp
It all adds up that I could be but who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️ xx

812mumof3 · 23/02/2021 11:51

@lelrx 😂😂 my husband thinks that too.

See now I'm all confused. I went for a wee there and when I wiped it was light brown. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ what the heck is going on 😂 I'm wondering if maybe AF is going to show. My Flo app says it's not due for 7 days though 🤔 xx

lelrx · 23/02/2021 12:17

@812mumof3 this is what happened to me 2 months ago but I think that month I had missed ovulation day by a few days so I couldn't have been pregnant, still did a test none the less 😂
Last month periods were normal and regular and we didn't DTD once now this month we have again and I'm spotting again. We're not actively ttc but would be a lovely surprise, we're not using contraception so we left it down to nature to do it's thing.

When I've been reading up on IB bleeding it says it usually happens a week before your period but then other places say it happens when your period is due and then others say around 6+ dpo so it's all very conflicting
I would go from the dpo though because of timings, mine do match up with that as far as I think I ovulated and the symptoms I am getting. It's crazy to thing we get this obsessive when the answer is probably only around the corner

Xx

lelrx · 23/02/2021 12:25

@812mumof3 also noticed this morning that my hips and tummy are really itchy, haven't changed detergent or anything so I googled it and it seems alot of people get this in early pregnancy, also when i was pregnant with my daughter I had a rash come up on my neck that constantly itched, maybe it's a sign or am I just crazy 😂😂 I could literally say anything and I would find a reason for it being a symptom! Lol!

This is our first month ttc, last month I knew I missed ovulation, but like u, still insisted on POAS until AF arrived 😂
I used OPK sticks this month, and if truth be told, they confused the life out of me. It says the line needs to be as dark, or darker than the other line to be ovulating. Well let me tell you, the line was never as dark as the other one! 🤦‍♀️ but then one day, it was hardly visible and I thought 'aw bollocks, it was positive before!' Lol. So I THINK , going by memory, it was "positive" on 13th and 14th but was negative on 15th. But really, iv no idea 😂

Iv search on all the websites and iv found conflicting info like you.
I'll just continue to POAS until I get BFP or AF 🤷‍♀️🤣

When is your AF due?

lelrx · 23/02/2021 12:39

@812mumof3 I've never charted or checked my temp or used ovulation sticks, I'm 27 so don't feel like I'm in a huge rush, me and my husband have quite a good outlook and are quite positive so anything that happens to us is happening for a reason is how we like to live. I think ideally with my daughter being nearly 2 having another now would be ideal, we don't plan on having more than 2 because we are both quite career driven and self employed so trying to sort childcare can be difficult, so having two children a similar age and at school at the same time would be great!
Sex is a rarity in this house so if he's got me pregnant I will be so so shocked and lucky xx

lelrx · 23/02/2021 12:40

@812mumof3 my AF is due 4th March so 9 days away! Xx

Iv never charted or checked ovulation either before me. We are trying for number 4.

I'm 32 and I have gave up a place at uni to become a midwife, to have another baby so I hope it happens fast. This is my last though 🤣 and I'll go to uni either next year or the year after.

Sex doesn't happen much here either, unless ttc! Lol. X

lelrx · 23/02/2021 13:04

@812mumof3 I don't think I'd manage with 4 children 😂
The most beautiful precious little things in the world but I find managing careers and home life with no family local for abit of support isn't the easiest, my mom is great and my partners parents too but they both live over an hour away from us with my mom being in Wales, even harder with the lockdown too.
But in all honestly I think the lockdown has had a huge effect on our income etc so maybe life will be abit easier once all is back to normal

The urge to test is even stronger today, spent my lunch ordering more FRER from amazon for when I can test Blush

Had some more twinges today and a bit more CM compared to usual (sorry tmi!) But other than that nothing

I really hope I can hold out till 10dpo!!!

Sending you all baby dust!!! Xxx

mallowmoon93 · 23/02/2021 16:45

@XMummyTyx welcome :) I don't know anything about clomid and only a teeny bit about endo, hopefully someone else is in the same boat! Sorry to hear about MC. I'm a serial symptom spotter atm, probably be a blessing if AF comes so I can chill out 🙈 x

Hi @XMummyTyx I'm 8dpo, I think! Sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I don't know anything about clomid or endo I'm afraid.

I'm symptom spotting too. My boobs are so sore and heavy, iv been getting some cramping, and yesterday and today I think iv be having implantation bleeding.
It's such a long wait! 😩

812mumof3 · 23/02/2021 16:58

When is everyone planning to test? Or have most of you started already? 🤣🤣

Herehoping93 · 23/02/2021 17:28

Thanks for the welcome girls I may join in with the testing on 10dpo maybe Friday lol.. today my mood has changed irritable ( normal af symptoms) I have cried twice once last night over a film just cause someone else was crying haha
