Why did I do it? Its five days too early to test and now I have a BFN and the sorest nipples ever (or is that in my imagination).
DH keeps asking about symptoms and I don't know whats worse getting my hopes up or his!

What do you do to keep your mind off the 2ww?

Hi just try to keep busy thats all you can do. I must admit this month i fell after 5 yrs ttc and it felt like the shortest 2ww ever it went so quickly and i found out when i was 4 weeks and am now 6+2 and that time has gone fast too. I have just mase sure i have LOTS to do ALL the time.

Don't ask me. I was the biggest POAS addict in the history of the world.
If I managed to wait until 11 dpo before testing I was proud of my willpower! In the end I did usually get accurate results at 11dpo so it wasn't too bad...

Ray I'm very pleased to hear your news. Congratulations.

ray congratulations to you

mrs happy did you poas in secret? or did your dp/dh know you couldn't resist

my dh is the voice of reason and I agree with him and believe I will not test till AF is late but somehow I just find myself dipping that test stick anyway!

I had to do it in secret.
When I showed DH my most recent BFP he told me it was too early to be believed and that I have no self-control (which is true).

So I told him I would wait 3 more days but instead did a digi the next morning and told him "I am always right, see!". Poor man.

come and join us on the step away thread. its aimed at discouraging early testing to save you money and your sanity!!

ray, great news

lissielouwithbunnyears · 11/04/2009 19:48

here it is

I am amazed at my own self control at the moment !!

CD28 today and AF arrival can normally
a) - be predicted by a little spotting the day before
b) - full flow arrives on CD28 without fail, more or less to the hour !

For the first few days of the 2WW, I had some creamy CM (unusual) and tender abdomen. I've had some dizzy spells (notably last Sat) and a teeny bit of pinky brown spotting on Wed. My hair went all wierd and wouldn't hang right / is less greasy / went fluffy - just like last time

However, boobs are resolutely not sore, tiredness is at normal levels, not nauseous, not peeing a lot, hair still coming out in the shower (it stopped falling out at 13DPO last time), only cramps I've experienced have been very mild.

I'm scared to pee on a stick - until I do, I'm in denial - AF might be late for once in its life ! I think I'm really scared of the rollercoaster of terror and worry I'm going to let myself in for if this is a BFP, having had a pretty traumatic MC at 11+5 in Nov. In my slightly odd head, every day I don't test is a day closer to getting an early scan and a day less of the 8 weeks I will have to worry and fret

Am I nuts !! ?? Well, probably. Might test tomorrow (15DPO) or might wait till Monday

Hi. I will look in on the step away thread later if I can - computer is a little sluggish tonite.

Well AF due tomorrow and I have had a plumeting temperature on my chart for the last three days and this has made me think this month is a hopeless case so I have been able to resist. Also MIL is here to stay for a few days and she is keeping me occupied (you know how they do that MIL's) It goes like this....

Inspirachion I want to help you, you sit down and have a cup of tea and I'll cook. Brings me tea with a big smile as I have sat down like I'm told too. Then from the kitchen comes a little but insitent voice. How does the cooker work? Can you show me how to light the gas? How do you want me to slice the chips. Is it a fan oven? Can you just show me where the tea towels are. Can you just this,... can you just that etc. Keeping me busy anyway!!! and distracted.
