I’m now 3dpo and trying to feel positive. My OPK peak times up with when I had EWCM and I’m sure I had some ovulation pain on Thursday. I’ve never realised it before now but I nearly always have a pain for a few hours in between AF’s so guess I nearly always have it but never paid any attention to what is was or why. Even though the timings all line up I still have a fear that I ovulated much later and missed dtd at the right time. I know it’s irrational 😂

@Angie2018 not feeling very hopeful at the minute ☹️

allgoodthings84 · 23/06/2022 19:06

I’m excited for everyone for next week. Not fir myself though. I’ve now gone from wishing the time away to not wanting it to arrive as don’t want AF to arrive so now wanting it to drag so I can wallow in the am I aren’t i 😂. I even thought for 5 seconds earlier just take a test now so then you can stop wondering 🤣 would be mad at 7dpo and wouldn’t tell me anything either way

@CinderellaFant oh no 😞 any reason in particular?? Stay positive!! If you've had unprotected sex over your fertile window there is always a chance x

Angie2018 · 23/06/2022 19:39

@allgoodthings84 I mean it might do... some people do get BFPs at 7dpo, but technically you could test from tomorrow but I totally get not wanting to be hit with a BFN as it's soul destroying 😩

I want next week to be here for sure! I just want to know!

I keep reading on SMEP success stories 🙈🙈

allgoodthings84 · 23/06/2022 20:05

@Angie2018 definitely rather AF come that a bfn. If I get a bfn now (which is likely either way) then I’ll be gutted but remind myself it’s early then get gutted all over again if AF arrives. At least if I wait I’ll only get disappointed once

I also think I’m going to test on Tuesday or Wednesday! I have a skincare appointment on Wednesday that I definitely shouldn’t have if pregnant, so I feel like I need to know at least by Wednesday! Flo is telling me AF should be due next Saturday but the mmc was already 30 days ago so to be honest I have no idea when it’s due.

I can’t believe we’re all testing around the same time too!
Anyone noticing any symptoms?

Another day down girls 😊🤞🏼

allgoodthings84 · 23/06/2022 20:30

@Cdoc definitely worth you testing then if you can’t have the appointment if pregnant. I bet you would have at least a faint positive by then

no proper symptoms here. I have been very bloated today and yesterday but only in the day times it’s nearly gone in the evenings. I don’t think it’s a pregnancy symptom though as occasionally (few times a year) I do get a bit bloated for a short time for no apparent reason

Yeah I totally follow your logic!! I do totally agree. I won't test unless I have real suspicions something is up

CinderellaFant · 23/06/2022 20:45

@Angie2018 no particular reason, just feeling sorry for myself lol.

No symptoms here at all today!

Angie2018 · 23/06/2022 20:46

@Cdoc do you know when you ovulated?

Oh I hope you get your BFP, please keep us posted!!

Angie2018 · 23/06/2022 20:46

@CinderellaFant yeah I feel you! I do this to myself too. I mean I am 2dpo and already worry 🙈

Cdoc · 23/06/2022 21:41

@allgoodthings84 that’s what I’m thinking I wouldn’t want to risk it! I’m more than happy to cancel it but I’ve been waiting a while so would feel extra gutted if I cancelled and then AF arrived anyway.
@Angie2018 i do roughly! I had my static smiley on clear blue digital last Wednesday, and cheapies were faint again by Thursday afternoon so pretty sure I had a surge Wednesday night into Thursday. Of course I will keep you posted, this chat is keeping me going to be honest and having people in the same wait!
Do you have any nice weekend plans to take your mind off it?

Sorry you feel like that @CinderellaFant 😔 we’re not out until AF arrives! Keeping everything crossed for you 🤞🏼

Angie2018 · 23/06/2022 22:25

@Cdoc oh that's good so you haven't missed it!!

Ah yeah me too, whilst I can forget about TTC every month atleast I feel like I have a load of lovely ladies that know how it feels in the TWW 💜

vitahelp · 24/06/2022 08:24

Morning ladies, hope you’re all feeling ok and looking forward to weekend. I feel like I’m already wishing the weekend away, but will try and enjoy it.
I’m 6dpo today and no symptoms other than restless night but I put that down to the heat. Actually feel quite good so not feeling too optimistic but I know it’s early days yet..

Angie2018 · 24/06/2022 08:28

@vitahelp heyyy! Sometimes lack of symptoms is a good sign. At this point until about 8dpo progesterone is doing exactly the same thing every month regardless of TTC, so it's unlikely anything is solely pregnancy related anyway. I didn't get symptoms until 10dpo and that was implantation which of course is different to a normal month.

I feel positive too. 3dpo today! Roll on next week 🤣🤣 without wishing the weekend away like you say xx

OCM19 · 24/06/2022 09:26

Morning!

I know it sounds strange, but every month for the past 6 months my boobs have hurt from around 5/6DPO. I can’t feel anything and they aren’t hurting, but that may just be wishful thinking 😂 I’m going to try and take my mind off it this weekend. I’m still hoping to hold off testing until next Friday, but may cave if you ladies start testing mid-week!

vitahelp · 24/06/2022 09:46

I’ve always been quite an asymptomatic person anyway. I’ve never been able to tell when AF is coming as I don’t get cramps/sore boobs etc. And when I was pregnant with DD I hardly got symptoms for the whole pregnancy, aside from nausea for a few days on week 10. So I really do need to drop the symptom spotting but it feels like there is nothing else left to do during the 2WW!

@Angie2018 Yes that’s true that any symptoms at this stage would likely happen anyway regardless of being pregnant or not. Haha i
know, I don’t usually look forward to going back to work on a Monday - until now!!

@OCM19 Oo I really hope that’s a sign for you! I’m going to try to keep my mind off things this weekend too, not really got plans but going to try and get outside as much as possible (and leave my phone inside!!)

This was a sign for me last month so I pray this is something for you!! X

Angie2018 · 24/06/2022 10:25

@vitahelp I am same as you, I don't normally get lots of symptoms for things. I don't get any discharge in the month except 5 days of EWCM.... I do get sore boobs a few days after ovulation until AF arrives and a few pains in my cervix just before AF but that's it. I normally only get 1 day of cramps on the first day of AF and then that's it.

It's so hard not to symptom spot.... it really is!!! It's like we want to convince ourselves we are pregnant but at the same time convince ourselves we are not too 🤣🤣

Tubbytele · 24/06/2022 11:30

Hi all, can I join in please? It's been so good to read your thread knowing you're not alone. I had a weird ovulation last week. Got a static smiley on clearblue ovulation test on the 14th, but didn't feel like I was ovulating. Then got EWCM on the 19th so thought to do another ovulation test and got another static smiley! So dtd and hoping for the best. I've had really bad belly pain for these last 3 days but it doesn't feel like a pregnancy symptom, more like trapped wind without the gas lol so I don't think it's related but am in the 2ww along with you all

OCM19 · 24/06/2022 12:37

@Angie2018 ohh really…I promised myself I wouldn’t symptom spot this month, it’s so hard! How are you doing?

@Tubbytele welcome 🥰 xx

allgoodthings84 · 24/06/2022 12:45

Afternoon everyone. Been very busy at work this morning so not even thought about 2ww. I have no symptoms either. In my head I keep going from “I have a chance” to “there’s no way I am”. I don’t get AF symptoms until day before either when I sometimes get a bit of spotting then on AF first day I get horrific cramps for just one day. So yea I feel no different to I do any other month

Angie2018 · 24/06/2022 13:18

@Tubbytele ah welcome!! How many dpo are you? The TWW is horrible right!! X

Angie2018 · 24/06/2022 13:19

@OCM19 it's so hard isn't it! Like I struggle so much in the TWW I guess like us all, I am not a patient person and I am a worrier 🤣 so I try to talk myself in and out of having a chance everyday!!

I'm ok thank you... just trying to remain optimistic at the same time as warning myself it may not happen 😞 xx

Angie2018 · 24/06/2022 13:21

@allgoodthings84 ah that's good you've had a morning off from thinking about the TWW 😊 I kinda have for an hour when I went to yoga 🤣

I feel the same as you, I keep having positive moments where I'm like surely this is our time, it's month 6, we don't have any issues, we had a chemical last month.... done all the right things surely it's our month, then all of a sudden I'm like, I'm out already and I don't know why 🤣

It's so draining!
