Anyone want to drive themselves mad on the 2ww (w/c 02/07/06)

[Princess Fiona]

Well i'm now officially on the 2ww, its CD19 ish for me and i've no idea when i ovulated.

We did the Deanna Plan this month and we're shattered and glad of a rest, although we've still been going every other night just in case :wink:

I'm REALLY going to try and NOT symptom spot as i just get disappointed every month :no:

Only things we've done differently this month is the Deanna Plan, i used OPK's but tbh i don't think they were very accurate :huh: so i spose only time will tell. I'm going on the assumption that my cycle is going to be 30 days, but how true that is, i don't know.

If AF doesn't show by CD35 i'll test, but i have a horrid feeling i'm going to see her before then :sigh:

So anyone else want to join me and drive themselves mad on the 2ww, Minky and SS i know you'll both be up for it! :clap:

[Minky]

Well, as you know I'm on the 2ww :clap: as of Monday.

My boobs are very veiny and sore and I'm peeing every 6 seconds but sadly I know this is because of the progesterone pessaries which mimic the body's natural response... :sigh:

Minky

[Princess Fiona]

Minky i wasn't going to say anything but i had a dream last night that i logged into Damsels and you had 2 tickers :ellie: Hoping its a good sign.

[shining star]

well you know the story with me! I'm going to do another test tomorrow morning, probably First Response.

I've been symptom spotting like mad and haven't even been ttc - its just impossible not to!!

Oooh good luck ladys:babydust: :babydust: :babydust: .

[Minky]

Good luck hon! :luck:

[Angel]

Me too !

CD25 and 4DPO according to my CM. I think we managed to dtd at the right time but I've never felt less pregnant IYSWIM. I know it's still early but nothing at all.

[cheeky_biscuit]

Me too.
what's DPO? I *think* i'm on CD14

[Adelelee]

:thumb: :thumb: Thumbs up thats its a big fat +++++++ for you this month Katy:kiss:

[Princess Fiona]

Thanks Adele, but i'm doubtful, seems like its just not meant to be a 2nd time :-(

CB DPO is days past ovulation.

[sunshine]

Positive Mental Attitude Katy!!!! It will happen. Stop being so bloody negative or I will whoop your ass :bwahaha:

[Princess Fiona]

:lol: you should know me by now SS69, i can be +tive for others, but just not for myself, i think its some sort of disease. I think if i stay negative about things, at least if they DO happen, it'll be a nice surprise.

I just don't feel like its going to happen, as much as i want it, i just can't imagine being pregnant again which is odd, when i was trying for Lu i actually didn't want it as much as i do now, and was very laid back about ttc but COULD picture myself being pregnant, this time i just can't see me having 2 children in the future, maybe its a sign :huh: :cry:

[sunshine]

Right Katy you asked for it! :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank:

No really, here's a big hug for you. I remember only too well how heartbreaking it is when you try everything you can to get pg and then it doesnt happen. TBH I think that the only reason it happened for me is that I decided to give myself a month or two off worrying and thats when we got our BFP. So I think that PMI is incredibly important. I also tried visualisation the month I got my BFP- imagining my eggy and the little swimmers coming together and then me patting my pg tummy! I also used to go to yoga and I'd imagine a little curly blonde haired baby sitting on my chest and laughing- which is exactly what I have now! Perhaps if your mind is ready then your body will follow (hope that doesnt sound too new agey hippy). Funnily enough, now I'm considering ttc ing over the summer I can feel myself getting stressed about it so I might try this again! Chin up flower and I'm sure it will happen for you very soon:flowers:

[Ladyluck]

Just want to wish you ladies the best of luck for the 2ww and send over any spare :babydust: :babydust: for you all.

Xx

[Shadow]

hello i am on the 2ww. we only dtd once, might try and see if he wants to get down to it tonight. I really dont know what to think right now. My cycle was only 26 days last time and the time before that was 28, so I have calculated that on 27 days, and tonight will be the last day according to babycentre.

[shining star]

welcome shadow :grin:

ditto! We haven't even been ttc and I'm stressing about it already. It is IMPOSSIBLE not to get overly caught up in it, grrrrrr!

I know its such a cliche but I think that being relaxed had got to play a big part in it......so many people say that it was when they stopped worrying, or gave up on the idea, that they got lucky. But obviously trying to relax for the sake of it helping ttc, isn't remotely relaxing at all, iyswim?!

Katy I really do think that it will happen for you, but you've had so much upheaval in your life in the last year or so. That has got to take its toll, so don't beat yourself up about it :meditate:

[Redsquare]

I'm on CD 26 of a 24-28 day cycle.

No chance for us this month as I was working (nights) on all the times we needed to dtd.

I can feel AF is about to start anytime.

:babydust: :babydust: :babydust:

[Littlejojo]

i have no will power but can i come out that, Shadow is me. For some unknown reason, i didnt really want to let everyone know we were actually trying. Everyone knew it was going to be after the wedding, but not when. I think the reason I didnt want to do this under LJJ is because I didnt want to become obsessed with it, but I know I will be.

So good luck to everyone.

oh if anyone can help with my TMI qestion thank you

[Calamity]

Wishing you all lots of luck this month ladies errrrrrrrr especially the newcomer Shadow :wink:

J.x

[Princess Fiona]

Ooh LJJ i wondered whether it may have been you that posted under Shadow, :wink:

Good Luck LJJ, or should i call you Shadow :tongue:

I think being calm and relaxed about it DOES help, but i don't understand how i CAN be these things. I'm desparate to have another baby and have been since Lu was 6 months it was only because of our holiday that we didn't start trying when she was 6 months. I desparately wanted to have a really small age gap between my children and every month that goes by just makes that more and more impossible, in fact it is impossible as even if i'm pregnant this month, which i doubt, there will be a 2 yr 3 month gap, i had it in my head i'd already have had another one by NOW and i'm not even pg :cry:

I've not been charting or anything but am begining to think thats our only hope, but if i do that we'll only get more and more stressed about it.

How can you relax about something that you want so badly.

[Littlejojo]

Katy how did you guess it was me. I did post once saying I was someone else as in a known Damsels. We would of tried before now, but of course had the wedding. I fell in the first month last time, but we dtd every other day. To tired and too busy plus have Mia this time, so doesnt seem quite so desperate right now ifyswim

[Adelelee]

How can you relax about something that you want so badly.

Sweetheart if I knew the answer to that I would be rich, but look at me!! TTC five years, 3 IVF, got pregnant with Eliza, did not go on the pill or anything, one drunken december night and now look at me :lol::lol::lol: I truely believe I am pregnant because I just relaxed and hey you know you can do it, look at your gorgeous Lucy for the proof.

I really dont want to sound patronising hun as I know how desparate you are for another baby, but IT WILL HAPPEN, I promise:nod::nod::nod::nod:

[Princess Fiona]

Well i'm still sending myself crazy :loco: :loco: imagining all sorts of symptoms same as i do every month. Only 8 days or so to go til i find out though, well i say that, probably more like 14 days because knowing me AF will be a week late just to get my hopes up again :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

So far this week i have, sore tingly boobs, niggling af pains, imense tiredness, slight nausea in the morning from about 8am-10am so only very slight, haven't been able to eat anything til gone 11am, oh and i'm thinking my boobs are looking slightly fuller too, but these things seem to be happening EVERY month so its either my vivid imagination or my AF symptoms are exactly the same as pregnancy symptoms :rolleyes: :angry: :-(

Hopefully i'll have loads on my mind what with our forthcoming holidays so i won't have time to think about ttc, and maybe then something will happen.

[Redsquare]

AF arrived Friday so not our month, but am not in the least surprised.

Babydust and lots of implantation vibes to everyone else :fingerscrossed:

[Minky]

Well, I am slowly going madder and madder :loco: :mad: if that's a word... :rolleyes:

I had quite a bit of cramping last week, especially on Friday where my back was really killing me too, really felt very af-y. Yesterday and today I've been pretty normal :brainache: (as far as I am ever normal!).

Have quite veiny boobs and feeling as sensitive as they were right up until egg collection (after that they went back to normal, which is normal for me - they get very sensitive up til ov then go back to normal, and don't change til AF). But sadly I can't take this as a good sign as it could be the progesterone pessaries causing these symptoms :zombie:.

HOWEVER last IVF I recall I had NOTHING in the boobage department. In fact (just before I found I was pg in Jan) I remember remarking to DH - "look at my boobs - it's ridiculous, they weren't this veiny when I was taking the progesterone pessaries!" :rolleyes:, so I'm tentatively thinking it MIGHT be a good sign :fingerscrossed:

I'm certainly filling out my bras!

Apart from that, nothing to report, and I really don't have an inkling one way or another, sadly. I wish I had some really strong symptoms BUT it hasn't even been a week yet so would be unlikely even if I am pg.

Just don't know what to think about the boobs. I suppose if they get more pg looking and more sensitive then that's a good sign...

Minky :loco:

PS this is like a normal 2ww to the power of 100! :shock:

[SaintSarah]

Oh go on then - I'll join the 2ww as well.

This is our 1st month of trying, just got back from holiday so dtd quite a few times, but not 100% on the right days. Dont feel pregnant, have some cramps and a back ache but that could be because of being on the plane yesterday for 7 hours.....boobs are fine, so am probably imagining symptoms.

Have bought some ovulation tests for next month, so if nothing happens this month then we will be more organised next month!!

Babydust to us all.......

[Princess Fiona]

Hmmm...

Now i AM clearly MAD but i did a HPT this morning, i wasn't going to post about it but its driving me MAD MAD MAD.

I don't even know when i ovulated, had EWCM around day 10 and got +tive OPK's on CD10/11/12 and a faint one on 13 (surely it doesn't take 3 days to ovulate:huh: )

Anyway, i'm on CD 22/23 ish today and i've got a heap of HPT's i bought from ebay last month so i thought well i'll try one, and i've gotten the faintest faintest line :shock: :shock: :shock:

Now tbh i think its a faulty test :sigh: but its got me thinking maybe i could be :puzzled: :puzzled: With Lu i didn't get a +tive HPT until AF was 3 wks late almost, i tested at 7 days late ( i always remember because it was mothers day and i remember thinking how lovely it would be to get a BFP on mothers day but i didn't) and got a BFN, so i left it for another fortnight before i tested again (could never do that now) because i'd only been off the pill for 2 months so i figured my cycles were just messed up.

Anyway, now i'm imagining all sorts of silly symptoms :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Oh why oh why do we do this to ourselves :sigh: :sigh: :sigh:

AF is due towards next weekend, after i think (haven't got my calander to hand atm) so i think i'm just going to leave testing again until about a week after AF is due, going to be difficult but i don't want to get into doing tonns of tests again :rolleyes:

Hopefully we'll catch whilst away on our holidays in the next few months whilst we're not thinking about it too much!

Katy :loco: :loco: :loco:

[shining star]

OMG I've only just seen this Katy!!!!! And you were the one telling me to wait a while longer to test :lol:

I don't know what to say other than a line is a line. But then I'm still not convinced of that myself either, after 3 faint lines!

Can you imagine if we were due at the same time again?!

let us know if you test again!!!!

ss
xx

[spritzer]

Katy, SS and Minky - I really hope you get the result you want this month.

Good luck to all the TTCers!

[Princess Fiona]

OMG I've only just seen this Katy!!!!! And you were the one telling me to wait a while longer to test :lol:

I know :oops: :oops: :oops:

I've looked at the test again this morning and the line is STILL there but stronger now, i'm convinced its a faulty test though and don't want to do another in case its negative!

Will wait til AF is due now, looked at my calander this morning and i'm on CD24 today so a week to go before AF is due, think i'll waut til she is a week late like last time and see what result i get if she doesn't turn up before of course. I've also got to bear in mind that my cycles have been anything from 28-50 days over the past 9 months so i might not even BE late on say CD40 :rolleyes:

Would be SO funny if we were due date twins again!! :teehee: If we are, i'll let you go 1st this time :teehee:

[shining star]

I'll be going early this time!! Elective c-section at 39 weeks please :grin: If I'm pg now (which I'm kind of starting to believe a bit more) then I'll be due on 18th March....it's SO long away!!

I don't think you could hold out until AF is a week late to test! And if you had + opk as early as cd10, then your cycle shouldn't be much longer than a few more days :huh: Do you know how long your LP usually is?

ss
xx

[Princess Fiona]

WHats LP :oops:

Before Lu i was on the pill for aroudn 10 years and i got pg after 2 months of stopping taking it so my cycles never got chance to settle into any sort of pattern, the 1st month off my cycle was 28 days.

Since stopping bf my cycles were a bit erratic, going once for 10 wks without a period. Since we've been ttc my cycles have gone from 50days to 30ish going down by a few days each month, although last month i was 3 days late, if i go by the fact it should have been 30 days as AF turned up on CD33 if that makes sense.

I'm hoping they're settling into a pattern now as its a nightmare not knowing when i'm due, and i've wasted tonns of tests thinking i'm late when really Af if just playing up!

[shining star]

WHats LP :oops:


Luetal (sp?) Phase......its the length of time between ov and af. It varies from person to person, but is usually the same number of days each month for everyone. Does that make sense? eg mine could be 14 days, yours could be 17 days. That means mine should always be 14 days and yours should always be 17 days, IYSWIM?!

[Princess Fiona]

Well i haven't a clue because i don't know when i ovulate.

I go by CM and then use opk's but tbh i don't trust them especially as over the last 9 months ttc i've often had 2 lots of +tive OPK's in one cycle, one at CD 10 and 1 at CD17, surely that isn't right :happyno:

[scrobble]

What OPKs are you using Katy?

Some brands seem to be more reliable than others. For example, the cheapie strips that you can get on Access Diagnostics are a bit hit-and-miss.

[Princess Fiona]

The make is called On Call and they're from Ebay, about £5.00 for 30 OPK's and 10 HPT's!

Tbh i think they're ALL faulty including the HPT's :rolleyes:

[Minky]

Blimey Katy! :shock: :faint: :shock:

you SAID you were going to let me go first.

Cow :angry: :hissyfit:


























:laff: :woohoo: :wink:

Let's hope that they are NOT faulty! (though wouldn't that be MEGA early to get a result?, and if the answer to that is NO, please send me one I so I can be put out of my misery! :laff:)

Minky

[Princess Fiona]

Well i'm pretty certain that all the tests are faulty tbh Minky so i think the result is void.

I'm not sure whether it would be too early to test, i *think* i ovulated around CD10/11 and am currently on CD24 so 10DPO which isn't impossible to get a +tive result on, however if the test is faulty it doesn't really matter does it...

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

... and i said i wouldn't obsess about symptoms etc this month :doh: :faint:

[Minky]

What makes you say the tests are faulty?

:scratchchin:

[Angel]

Good luck Katy and SS - I can't believe you still don't have your BFP, when are you testing again ??

Minky - keeping everything crossed for you !

I'm now on 9DPO and yesterday everything tasted all wrong - even my bacon sarnie tasted funny. Today had a metallicky taste in my mouth and some cramping and on and off had some tingly boobs. I'm trying not to get too hung up about it as I got my hopes up last month for nothing.

[Minky]

Good signs Angel! :fingerscrossed:

Minky

[Littlejojo]

good luck Katy and SS. If I am PG, which i really not sure, I would be due on 28th March.

[Princess Fiona]

Good signs Angel :fingerscrossed: for you!!

LJJ you never know, do you have any symptoms at all?

No more news from me, having a few more crampy pains especially on the left hand side :huh: not much different than usual though so i'm not getting my hopes up!! Only another week of this maddness til i find out i guess, then at least i'll have a holiday or two to relax on :wink: :adultcontent:

[Minky]

Katy, asking again - why do you think the tests are faulty?

Minky

[Adelelee]

Fingers crossed Katy, SS and of course MINKY!!!


I really really really really really hope you all get your +++++++ this month :nod: :nod:

[SaintSarah]

I am still imagining symptoms I think.

I do feel sick, but that could still be the remains of jet lag. Very tired, again could be jet lag - back ache, again could be from being on the plane fo 7 hours...... :scratchchin:

This is my 1st 2 WW so not really sure what I should be looking for

[Princess Fiona]

Katy, asking again - why do you think the tests are faulty?

Minky

I DID post a reply to you yesterday honestly Minky, no idea what happened to it :huh:

1stly whilst i have been using these OPK's always the same ones, ON CALL which i've purchased from ebay i've had 2 lots of +tive OPK's every month, on CD10 and again around CD17 surely that isn't right!!

Also on some of the tests i've had to do a second one because on a few of them the control line hasn't even shown up which makes me think they're all from a faulty batch :huh:

No wonder i'm not pregnant, we've probably been doing it at the wrong times :rolleyes:

[Minky]

Ah, but this is NOT an OPK. I'ts a pregnancy test!

Do another one tomorrow and see what it says :shock:

Minky

[Littlejojo]

Katy, to be honest I am trying to remember back to when I fell PG last time. All week I have been getting a niggly feeling deep inside, not a pain, but just a feeling, I have had this every day since last week. So it could be that or I am constipated. My boobs are sore, but could that be AF due. I felt a bit wierd this morning, as in hungry/weak, so had to eat. I remember last time I was really hungry in the begining.

I really could be imagining this, when do the symptoms start?

[shining star]

what CD are you on now LJJ?

I think symptoms can start really early, but after the week I've had I am just too sceptical!! Because it's so easy to over-analyse everything on the 2ww, it makes it difficult to distinguish between being possibly pregnant and how you normally feel. I'm now thinking, maybe I often get niggly pains but don't think anything of them, same with feeling slightly nauseous and boobs being a bit bigger. Maybe that happens all the time and I just don't notice, because I'm not looking out for it :shrug:

[Littlejojo]

SS, i always remember you saying you had a good feeling when I fell the last time (funny isnt it how things like that stick in your mind) I am on CD 20. so wondered if it is too early for symptoms, I can not remember when they started before.

I forgot to add that I had no CM this month, where as normally i get loads (sorry if TMI, but I guess talking about TTC is that anyway:wink: ), so I wondered if it was on the way out, when the other was on the way in :oops: .

I have also been waking during the night needing to go to the toilet, and I know that the last time i always wanted to go to the toilet. I remember being at the pictures, not enjoying the last 20 minutes of the film as i was so desperate

[Julesb]

I was constipated before it got my BFP, so you never know:smile: ..


Good luck to all you ladies.x

[shining star]

I do remember the last time LJJ and the month after you got your BFP, I got mine.....so you never know :wink:

[Minky]

Sounds promising LJJ!

[shining star]

how are you feeling today Minky? Have been thinking of you xx

[Minky]

TBH I feel perfectly normal. Which is not a good thing.

Minky :sigh:

[Angel]

Minky :hugs:

[shining star]

It's so hard :no: Do you wish the time would pass just so you know, or are you nervous of the time coming iyswim? I've been feeling a bit like that, afraid of testing because I don't want bad news, but at the same time wishing to just know one way or the other.

ss
xx

[Princess Fiona]

Sending BFP vibes to everyone waiting. Its a nightmare isn't it!!

I'm scared of testing again in case its negative but then i should be used to that by now :rolleyes: i think if i ever get a really strong BFP again i'll :faint:

[Minky]

I'd just like to know for sure so I can eat some of the pate and drink some of the wine that's in the fridge (oh, and keep Mr Minky happy :adultcontent: :oops:)

[Velvet Chain]

I've been lurking and just want to wish you all the best of luck and lots of this babydust that everyone keeps talking about......I am decided not to have any more children (one is quite enough for me) but I love seeing other people get pregnant and still feel a bit jealous of you all......

lots of positive vibes to you all

VC

[Angel]

ooh this is totally driving me :loco:

Ok, I think I'm 11DPO now and I felt seriously sick this morning and very teary. I think I've had some increased CM although felt very crampy this afternoon. I just really am hoping now that I did OV when I thought I did (I did have loads of EWCM at the time but 3 weeks earlier than my last 2 mammoth cycles) else I'm going to be gutted.

I did test yesterday :oops: with a FR and got a BFN but I'm not too surprised really.

[Minky]

:shock:

:shock:

:luck:

[Princess Fiona]

I'm still here, my tum is looking really swollen today :shock: but thats probably just AF on her wicked way. Having slight slight cramping still, not felt sick at all today, starving hungry though but then whats new!

Good luck everyone waiting for news.

[Littlejojo]

do you know i can not believe that i am obsessed with this. I should not of said that I was trying really lol. Still gettting niggly feelings, and feel quite weak, a lot of the time. I have had back aches, and been hungry.

8 days until AF due now.

[SaintSarah]

I have 4 days until AF is due, and am driving myself mental with 'symptoms' although I am always finding excuses for the said symptoms!!!

My boobs are occasionally itchy, my backaches, I could sleep for England although when actually in bed I am very restless and keep having REALLY weird dreams, I feel a bit sick and have terrible heartburn/indigestion.

So, thats me in a nutshell - desperatly trying not to rush out and get a FR test, but also really want to test just in case.... :doh: :brainache:

[Princess Fiona]

lol i was going to post this morning to ask if bach ache was a symptom because mine is killing me :lol: :lol: :lol:

We're all :loco: :loco: :loco: :loco:

Lets hope in a week or so time, we're all members of the March 2007 Mums Club :grin:

[Littlejojo]

i have had a back ache, but not so bad now. I also feel exhausted allthe time, and just a touch bit sick in the morning, but not enough to actually be sick, just feel wierd.

I dont like to say too much, I will feel such a fool if I am not PG. Also i noticed last night my boobs are a bit veiny, but then i dont know what they are normally like, I cant remember.

I almost bought some tester's today, but didnt want to waste my money just in case

[SaintSarah]

We are just all going around the bend :lol:

[Adelelee]

Good luck to all you ladies on the 2ww, looking forward to hearing some good news from you all over the next week or so :nod::nod::nod:

[Angel]

Talking of obsessing I know that my due date would be 24th March - now how sad is that :oops:

I just don't know - extreme nausea this morning but I think there has been a sickness bug going around so I'm not putting much by that. But I had some EWCM today :puzzled:

I just want to know either way now !

[Amethyst]

Fingers crossed for you all ladys:smile: .

Amethyst x

[shining star]

But I had some EWCM today :puzzled:


I've had some too, I remember reading in the last week that CM is no indication of what's happening after you have ovulated. But I still did wonder if it was right :puzzled:

[Princess Fiona]

:loco: :loco: :loco: :loco: :loco: :loco: :loco: :loco: :zombie:

[Angel]

:laff:

Any news Mrs D ?

[Princess Fiona]

No its driving me round the fooking bend, i'm seriously stressed out now, i think i'm going to give up after this month, i don't think i can take it any more. I know 9 months isn't a long time and that there are far far far worse cases than mine but i just can't do this every month, its driving me round the bend. Me and Dh are getting on really really well atm but every month there are those last 2 wks when i'm an absolute nightmare to be around and if i carry on like this he's just going to hate me :no: :no:

I've officially had enough!! Lu will just have to make the most of playing with her little friends because i seriously can't see a brother or sister joining her any time soon :sigh:

TTC has turned me into a horrible miserable person and i don't want to feel like this anymore.

Sorry for the self indulgent post but i've just had it up to here :brainache: with all this crap!! WHY is it SO hard to get pregnant :angry:

[Littlejojo]

what is EWCM.

Katy as you say 9 months isnt a long time, I know someone who has been trying for years and years. It will be your time again soon, if not this month.

I am now thinking that it isnt my turn this month, and I am analyzing (sp?) too much

[Princess Fiona]

EWCM - Egg White Cerival Mucas nice :lol:

I KNOW its not long LJJ but i just can't take it any more. I feel SO bad for saying i'm going to give up epsecially when there are others on here going though far worse. Also BIL & SIL have just failed a round of IVF their 1st sucessful cycle and they're in a really bad bad way, they've been trying just short of 3 years now, when i think in that time i've had a healthy baby already it makes me feel so selfish :oops: :oops:

[scrobble]

Katy, how about taking a month or too off from it, just until you feel a bit calmer again. TTC is meant to bring you close together and be a happy time, and if you're not in the right frame of mind, it can make it harder to conceive.

Alternatively, if you don't want to take a little bit of time out, could you start a new hobby/study a subject or something, just so you've got something to think about other than ttc? I was becoming a wreck after so long ttc and in May I joined a wind band with my flute - best thing I ever did! I also got in touch with a load of old friends and we had some meets and things, and it just helped me relax.

Still no bfp, but at least I feel more relaxed about the whole thing. It doesn't actually now feel like I've been trying for ages, although it's been 17 months, because my life is so busy that time seems to fly and before I know it I'm on the next 2ww! Am on the 2ww at the minute, and keeping fingers crossed, but if not dr will refer me to hospital for further tests, so at least I know something will be done.

And yes - I have had months where I've seriously thought about giving up, but then thought, what have I got to lose by carrying on - it just helped me to reframe it in my mind. It's only when I think about the date we started or AF starts that I feel down generally, and when AF starts there are hormones flying around everywhere anyway.

[shining star]

katy you've never charted have you? It seems to me like you're not too sure of when you are ovulating, especially as you've had mixed signals from the OPKs. Charting is a really good way of indicating when you ov......and timing is crucial in all of this :wink:

When we were ttc with Dylan, I had a really long cycle and had no idea when I ovulated. So I charted for 1 month and bingo. I've started taking my temps already now, even though AF still hasn't shown up. But I just want to be prepared for it.

The only thing is that it obviously doesn't help with the obsessiveness :loco: :rolleyes:

ss

[Princess Fiona]

Thats why i didn't want to chart SS, i'm obsessed enough as it is, plus i KNOW i'd forget to take my temp, DH has to remind me every day to take my folic acid, my memory is just awful since having Lu.

My friend was supposed to be letting me have her salavia microscope thing but i've not heard from her so doesn't look like i'm getting that now :rolleyes:

Having a break really isn't an option, we put off ttc last year because of our holiday in Macrch :-( :-( and again the other month when we wern't getting on well. I think i'm getting more down about it because back when i had Lu i always visualised by the time Lu was this age i'd already have had another, and i'm not even pg yet. Its hard because i SO SO wanted my baby's to be close in age and now every month i'm not pregnant i just feel like its my fault that when No/2 does come along they'll be too much of an age gap for them to get along :sigh:

[scrobble]

now every month i'm not pregnant i just feel like its my fault that when No/2 does come along they'll be too much of an age gap for them to get along :sigh:

You mustn't beat yourself up about it, and the age gap thing isn't necessarily a reason why they would/wouldn't get on.

My sister is just 18 months younger than me, and we hated each other until we were in our teens - I just didn't understand at 18 months why the new baby was getting all the attention and I was suddenly 'boring' to friends and relatives!

My husband and his brother are 4 years apart and have always got on really well, no jealousy issues or anything.

When it happens for you, Lucy will be at a stage where she'll understand more what's going on, be able to look after herself to some extent, and you'll be able to talk about things with her better than you would if she was much smaller.

I know it's hard to focus on the positive, but from experience, the more you expect a problem to happen and the more you blame yourself for things that aren't your fault, the harder things become. I tend towards being like this by default, but have fought it and fought it, and am finally getting to the stage where I can be optimistic about many situations where I would have been pessimistic previously.

Since you got the very faint line on the 'faulty' HPT, have you tested again, out of interest?

S

[Princess Fiona]

Thanks Scrobble you speak much sense!!

No i haven't tested again, i'm too scared of a BFN!! AF due at the weekend so i'm just leaving it til she turns up! I think she's on her way tbh :sigh:

[scrobble]

I think you're best off waiting as well tbh - if AF doesn't appear then test again. After all, it's quite rare to get a line on a test before AF comes. I know a few have (like Mrs Lexx at 9dpo!), but there are so many stories about people getting bfns when testing early and then a bfp just a couple of days later...it's not over yet this month!

[Angel]

Oh Katy :hugs:

FWIW there is 8yrs between me and my little brother and we get on fine ! I have been worried about an age gap too - Alex is just 3 so realistically he's going to be 4 by the time another comes along. For us it's been logistics such as moving house, work, money etc.

LJJ - EWCM is egg white cervical mucus, the clear slippery stretchy stuff you get around ov.

I'm totally :doh: with myself at the moment. I did a cheapy test this morning (I know, I know) at 12DPO as this was when I got my first weak BFP when I was pg with Alex. Anyway had just weed on the stick and heard Alex coming upstairs and quickly tucked it away. Didn't get chance to look at it again as we were running late for nursery. About 30mins ago I looked at it and there is a, fairly strong second line but I know that can't be reliable as it's so long after I did it. I know it could be an evap line but I've used these last month too and never have had an evap line before. I need to do another test and try not to get my hopes up :doh:

[Minky]

:shock:

Sounds like a BFP to me Angel!

I don't think a line develops afterwards does it?

Please test again asap!!!!

Minky

[SaintSarah]

Angel, when will you text again!??

[Littlejojo]

well i guess AF is really here now. It is different to normal, by now i would of had erm sorry for TMI, but big clots. Since having Mia i was really heavy at the start for a day or so, so much so I could feel the clots. Have had none so far, but I bet they are coming.

I can not believe i am 6 days early, what is all that about, where was CM this month. Things to think about for next month.

Good luck to everyone else, I really hope you all get some good news.

ShiningS do you still not know

[Princess Fiona]

Oh Angel sounds promising!!

Seems its the day for BFP's around here, :whistle:

:ellie:

[Angel]

DH came home clutching a pack of predictor tests !

I have re-tested and it was a BFN but the one I did this morning would have been a stronger wee - I've been drinking like a fish all day. I'm going to try and hold off now until Sunday which is when AF is due.

Sorry to hear AF arrived LJJ

[Princess Fiona]

Good luck for tomorrow morning then Angel :fingerscrossed:

Sorry to hear about AF Joanne :higgies:

[shining star]

hi everyone,

LJJ really sorry to hear af turned up :(

I'm SO pleased for you katy.....it is such amazing news :grin:

Angel, I drove myself absolutely around the bend last week after getting a faint +ve on a test, so I can completely sympathise with you.....I've done 'a few' (read: too many :rolleyes: ) tests over the last week and there were very faint +ve's on three in total, but since then all are negative. So I don't know what has happened but I do know that I'm not pregnant - I'm just wishing af would turn up now so we can start our first month of ttc :ellie:

[Princess Fiona]

SS how do you know you're NOT pg if AF hasn't turned up yet!!?? :happyno: :happyno:

[Littlejojo]

do you know one of the hardest things is that I have AF pains, i havent had them since Mia was born, I used to get them really bad. They are not as bad as before Mia, talk about kick you in the teeth though, like - here you go have AF and have some pains too whilst you are down :puzzled:

[Princess Fiona]

I KNOW its so hard isn't it LJJ. I never really suffered much with AF pains but then the Dr put me on the pill when i was 13 because of how heavy they were. After i stopped BF Lu at nearly 6 months AF didn't turn up for 9ish wks then it was really heavy but not painful, AF was then really regular for a few months then when we started to ttc it all went wrong. I think it must be stress related. I went for 10 wks without a period and was convinced i was pregnant back in August last year but AF turned up the day after i tested and got a BFN! :rolleyes:

Its only your 1st month LJJ, i'm sure you'll be joining me v v soon!!

[SaintSarah]

Still plenty of symptoms for me - am thinking of testing today (day before AF is due) just to put my mind at rest either way, If I am pg then I can celebrate - if not then get ready for next month.

Its our 1st month of trying and I am not 100% sure we dtd at the right time as we were on holiday so no OPK's so it would be a miracle if I was pg, but only a test will tell :smile:

Am having symptons, cramping, very tired and dizzy, nauseous, itchy boobs and constipation :oops: but they could all be AF symptoms as well :doh:

Oh well, maybe a test will answer my questions.......will keep you posted...... :rolleyes:

[Princess Fiona]

Get testing woman!! :teehee:

Good Luck!!

[SaintSarah]

Should I wait until tomorrow for the early morning wee, or try this afternoon?!

[Littlejojo]

Katy, i think one of the reasons it is hard, is that when i fell with mia it was the first month of trying, so this is my very first dissapointment ifyswim. I know i have no right to be dissapointed when I look at how long other people have been trying. i am fine now dont get me wrong, just felt a bit pants yesterdya.

[Princess Fiona]

Katy, i think one of the reasons it is hard, is that when i fell with mia it was the first month of trying, so this is my very first dissapointment ifyswim. I know i have no right to be dissapointed when I look at how long other people have been trying. i am fine now dont get me wrong, just felt a bit pants yesterdya.

Thats exactly how i felt LJJ, i fell pg quickly with Lucy and although i didn't assume i would get pg straight away this time i was extremely disappointed when after the 3rd month i still wasn't and it hasn't got easier. Every month when i've gone to the Lu and found blood my heart has sank and i just feel so empty!!

I have been feeling a bit down today tbh, don't get me wrong i'm excited but i've been having AF pains on and off all afternoon and i just can't help that this happiness will be shortlived like it was back in Jan!! I know i'm probably just being silly but i can't help it.

[Littlejojo]

katy dont think like that, it wasnt meant to be last time, but that is not meant to say it is going to happen again. Be positive you know you can go all the way. I know it will be on your mind though, and I know you will think about it.

[Angel]

LJJ, I know exactly what you're saying as I felt just like that last month and am getting ready to go through the same thing again. Alex was a 1st month baby too and now I'm facing my 3rd which I know isn't long but it's very hard when you get your hopes up and AF rears her head :hugs:

Katy, I know this must be difficult for you but as LJJ has said each pregnancy is different and you must try and stay positive. There is no reason to think that things will happen the same way again but I totally understand your worries.

As for me, well AF due today (I think) and still no sign. BFN yesterday but my boobs are crippling and I'm sure are bigger. Still getting some EWCM so still trying to dtd just incase I didn't ov when I thought I did. I'm not going to test again for a few days as I can't stand the thought of another BFN :no: . What I'm finding hard at the moment is the amount of pregnant women who I'm seeing in my surgeries and I'm so jealous of the newly pregnant ones I nearly cried on Friday. I just wish I knew one way or another now.

[SaintSarah]

BFN for me this morning :cry:

But, no sign of AF and my cycles are often 30/31 days but they average at 29 so today is CD29 - so its not over until the old witch arrives I might have tested too early...... :scratchchin:

[Littlejojo]

oh Sarah you never know, there is still hope yet, especially as your days are strange, like mine.

Fingers crossed

[Angel]

Sarah :hugs: hope it was just too early for you.

I'm on CD37, what I believe to be 15DPO and a BF fecking N :cry: . WTF is going on with me :hissyfit:

[Minky]

Oh Angel! I so thought I'd be reading your BFP. Wish I knew. There's something funny in the water right now, and I don't like it :sigh:

Let us know what transpires...

Minky

[Angel]

It's not good atm is it Minky :hugs:

[Minky]

Nope. At least it can't get much worse :sigh:

[shining star]

I do think something weird is going on - it's so strange that all these strange things are happening to everyone at the same time :huh:

I had a definite faint +ve on 3 separate tests almost 2 weeks ago now, but have done a couple of tests since then and they're definitely negative. I most definitely had pg symptoms, just like Pikey has had, but there's been absolutely no symptoms for the last week or more. But AF still hasn't turned up :shrug: It's just so odd that so many of us seem to be having vaguely similar things happen?

[Angel]

:grouphug:

I'm fed up with it too SS, it's horrible at the moment very very sad.

[SaintSarah]

I am fed up as well........trying to keep positive thinking that its not over until the old witch arrives, but then I think - nope all the symptoms are imaginary and then I question if I actually have any AF symptoms either..... :banghead:

[Princess Fiona]

There is DEFFO something v v strange going on!!

I don't like it either girls. Hope the rest of you get a result either way v v soon so you're put out of your misery, its a bugger all the waiting.

:grouphug:

[SaintSarah]

Still nothing to report from me, still feeling crampy - but thats probably AF on her way

[Angel]

well now on CD38, no sign of AF although I was cramping quite a lot this morning and was convinced AF was on her way but no. The boobs feel a little less sore although I still have very sensitive nipples :oops: and no nausea today, I think I'm out this month but I guess it's not over until the witch arrives although where she's got to I have no fecking idea.

:grouphug: to everyone waiting for news. Is it just saintsarah and shining star ??

[SaintSarah]

Maybe its the heat..... I just either want AF to arrive or a BFP...... one or the other will do.

[shining star]

hi :smile:

I'm not waiting for news really - I know I'm not pregnant but I just wish AF would turn up (I'm on cd38 now aswell Angel). I'm starting to worry something might be wrong in there, because I had a very faint +ve 2 weeks ago, which I wasn't convinced by. But then all symptoms disappeared, and a test came up negative, but still no AF :huh:

I'm not even really sure if we are going to ttc right now - this all came out of the blue really!

hope you guys have some news soon :luck:

ss
xx

[Princess Fiona]

I wonder whats going on SS?? Could be like i had back in August last year, think i mentioned before i went 10 wks without a period and i definately wasn't pregnant :confused:

Have your cycles been more or less back to normal since Dylan??

[SaintSarah]

Still nothing from me......although, feel very crampy today so AF is probably about to rear her head......probably tomorrow which is my birthday :doh:

[Curlie Sue]

Hi all

Well AF is due on Sunday and I feel quite emotional at mo and am very tired, but that could also be the heat. Im really not getting my hopes up this month as the last couple of months I got quite down about not being PG. At the moment I just feel that I want Sunday to be here so I will know one way or the other.

Wishing everyone lots of babydust xx

[Angel]

Still nothing from me either :angry: Just really hot and cranky today !

[half-full]

It's been really sad here the last few days, just wanted to say that I'm thinking of you all.

I'm on my first proper 2ww. Not quite sure when AF is due, should be between Sunday and Tuesday if my cycle is back to normal. I've had a really strange few days - have had constant wind for a week (:oops: ), far more sensitive to smells than usual (followed by nausea on one occasion), a couple more spells of nausea and travel sickness and bigger breasts (although no soreness). I thought it was my body doing wishful thinking, but have no idea how my imagination could conjure up constant wind, partiuclarly in an audit :shock: . Maybe it's gallstones.

[half-full]

Not this month for me. Day 1 of a fresh start today. Spoke to OH (in the states this week ) who tells me he has also had a dogy tummy all week, so looks like we both have a tummy bug. Tomorrow I start charting. Tonight I drink wine and eat pizza and ice-cream.

[Angel]

Still going and on CDstupid now. Fed up, bloated and cross :sigh:

[Amethyst]

Oh Angel:higgies: :higgies: iv`e been following this thread, i really hope you get a BFP soon or AF turns up just to stop all the waiting for you.
Sending you lots of:babydust: :clover: :babydust: :clover: :babydust: :clover: .

Amethyst x

[Littlejojo]

what has happened to shining star, has AF turned up???

[SaintSarah]

Still nothing for me either......

[shining star]

no LJJ still nothing :shrug: On day 41 now....

[Princess Fiona]

Big hugs to everyone with a late AF this month. Do you think it could be the heatwave thats caused it, seems quite a few people were due last week and still waiting :puzzled:

[Angel]

SS - thanks for posting what CD you're on. I think we're the same and I'd lost track.

I haven't tested since Monday and I'm trying to hold off so I don't get my hopes crushed again.

This really is pants.

[shining star]

I know Angel.....at this stage I'm checking every time I go to the toilet and really hoping that af has started :loco:

[Princess Fiona]

Big hugs to you Angel!! Must be so frustrating. When i was late back in August last year, 6 wks late to be precise :shock: i didn't even notice, but thats because i wasn't looking out for AF if you see what i mean, we wern't ttc so i wasn't really checking when i'd be due. Must be a real PITA when you're expecting it, and its late, i know i've had a few times over the past 10 months where AF has been a week late, and it drives me MAD!!

Hoping that you all get the result you want very very soon! Or at least that AF shows up so you can start focusing on next month :fingerscrossed:

[Princess Fiona]

[Angel]

My last two cycles have been 60d and 55d respectively although until then I had been regularly 35d. I thought I'd ov-ed around cd21 but obviously not.

I know what you mean SS, I'm on permanent pantwatch - I just wish something would happen. I'd be happy either way but I fear the witch will get me before the BFP.

[SaintSarah]

Well, its all over for me this month -AF has arrived :cry:

Onwards for next month now

[Chocolate Lips]

Delurking to say sorry AF arrived for you SaintSarah,I know that you really want this, good luck for next month!

[shining star]

sorry to hear that Sarah :-(

Well I think that af might be on the way :ellie: (I know, not normally something to celebrate on a 2ww thread :loco: ) Have had a bit of spotting and feeling a teeny bit crampy. I'm just relieved that it hasn't gone awol permanently. We can officially start ttc now :shock:

[half-full]

Sorry to hear that SaintSarah. ShiningStar and Angel, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

It's really hot and muggy here today, cramps are making me feel miserable. I did indulge in some online retail therapy this morning, which has helped a bit, as did Green & Blacks ginger chocolate.

[Littlejojo]

we havent had much luck this month have we all. Well here is to next month

[SaintSarah]

August will be all of our months...... :ellie:

[Angel]

Sorry to hear AF arrived Sarah.

I'm still waiting and fed up. AF for me is now a week late by my usual 35d cycle, I may think about testing again if nothing has happened by Wednesday or Thursday - only coz we're going to a wedding on Saturday and I want to know if I can drink or not. I know what the answer will be so I don't know if I'll bother or not.

Hope something happens soon for you SS x

[shining star]

Angel I've had some spotting today, its really strange because I never have spotting, AF just usually starts. But now there's nothing :huh: and I have felt slightly nauseous today, so I've started to think of maybe testing again :loco: Day 43 I think for us now :shrug:

Not knowing when AF is due is so bloody annoying isn't it?!

ss

[Angel]

yup CD43 - what a total PITA !

If you can bear it, I def think you should test again, spesh as AF hasn't turned up AND you are nauseous!

[shining star]

SS!! :shock:

If you can bear it, I def think you should test again, spesh as AF hasn't turned up AND you are nauseous!

Minky

hmmm I don't know what to do!! I keep reminding myself that it does happen to people, to have numerous negative tests before getting a +ve, but I think its more likely that I'm not pg and things have just gone 'weird'!!! I might be tempted to test tomorrow if AF still hasn't started properly, because I did have a little spotting yesterday too.

But then I'm thinking, I did have a faintly positive test a couple of weeks ago - if I'm not pregnant now, then I suppose it would be considered to be a very early miscarriage and when and if AF does turn up, its quite likely that it won't be normal anyway :huh:

I will update on any news!!

this is what happened to me when i fell PG with Mia, had a bit of spotting went out for the day, really tired, after a 20 minute walk, went to the Pictures and didnt enjoy the last 30 minuts as i was busting for the loo. That was on the Friday, I was due on the Sunday, and of course AF never came

I would test again

[Littlejojo]

well Shining Star, any news???

[shining star]

yes, CD1 today at last :ellie: I'm just relieved that everything seems to be ok and now we can think about ttc for real xx

[half-full]

Good luck on your new cycle, shining star! I found it such a strange mix of emotions on cd1, disappointment at not being pregnant, and relief that I get another go this month. Plus delight at consolatory chocolate and wine.

[Amethyst]

I`m glad all the waiting is over for you SS. Sending lots of luck for next month:smile: .

Amethyst x

[Angel]

Glad the waiting is over for you SS and pleased that it's made the decision to ttc easier for you !

As for me....CD45 I think - getting bored now :hissyfit:

[Littlejojo]

ss. i guess that was the answer you wanted, so good luck TTCing in the future. It made you wait this month, old witch

[Micah]

I can't believe I'm posting this...:brainache:

AF is late. Over a week late in fact. I am never late :faint:

I'm too scared to test...I have a tiny bit of :boobies: going on, but otherwise I feel completely normal, except for the lack of :witch: Oh and bursting into tears every time DH is nice to me...

Dh and I have spent the week chatting and will be :grin: either way.

Sorry for the hi-jack, I've not been around for the last week and am on stupid dial up connection so haven't had time to catch up, but didn't want to do a separate post as obviously some damsels are still grieving :-(

I will be absolutely gobsmacked if so as last month DH and I mainly practiced abstinence after deciding not to ttc (until we could decided on reliable contraception). We only dtd twice, day 5 and day 25 (withdrawal both times..:oops: ).

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :faint: :faint: :faint:

[Amethyst]

Oooh wow Micah you have to test:nod:,let us know how you get on:smile: .

Amethyst x

[Minky]

Jaysus Micah!

You HAVE to test you sly thing you :shock: :shock:

Minky xxx :fingerscrossed:

[parkejm]

ooh interesting Micah! Definitely test and let us know!

As for me, I've not been charting this month but have had some EWCM over the weekend. We dtd on Sat, Sun and last night so maybe there is a chance for us. The inlaws were staying on Saturday night so had to be very quiet!!:oops: I'm not getting my hopes up too high as I've only had one 'normal' (normalish for me anyway) cycle since our miscarriage and giving birth but what the hell,thought I'd join the 2WW thread anyway!

Babydust all round

janice

[Cupcake's Mum]

OMG Micah - you need to pee on a stick right now!!! :teehee:

[Micah]

Still no sign of AF, but I still feel fine.

I know it's possible, but not very likely, but I can't think of any other reason AF would go AWOL.

I think I'll just go into denial :teehee:

[Littlejojo]

micah, when are you going to test

[Micah]

wasn't planning on it...:wink: I'm too nervous :oops:

How long do you reckon I should leave it?

If it's negative how long do I need to leave it before going to the docs? Is it a medical problem for AF not to show or do the just say it's your hormones and to go away?

[WoollyNewty]

Well you could leave it about 8 months and see if anything happens :wink: but you might want to be a bit more prepared!

Crikey Micah - I know what you mean about being too nervous to test though but I think I would HAVE to know. I think I would test tomorrow morning and if it's negative then wait until you miss another period and if you do then go to the Drs. I think missing one period isn't that unusual but missing two is more of a sign of something being out of kilter.

Good luck anyway!!!

[Micah]

Well AF arrived last night....

DH and I are a bit gutted as DH was quite happy at having an "accident", he was starting to think we'd be best off with just one (valid reasons which I agree with fwiw, when head-thinking not heart-thinking), so it sort of took the pressure off making the decision, iyswim.

Anyway now we have both come round to the idea much more, we had over a week to discuss it all and see that we probably can do it, even if it is a struggle for a few years, if we really want another. We will leave it a while still though, as a few more months will take a bit more of the financial pressure etc off, C will be closer to potty trained/school and what have you so hopefully we will think again nearer Christmas.

Have to admit doing the sums for two sets of nursery fees was :brainache: . Including CSA Dh would be paying out over £1600 a month in childcare!!

[Littlejojo]

isnt it funny you were not trying but you were gutt4ed. Good luck when you do start trying.

[Angel]

Micah, sorry AF arrived for you but pleased it's helped you realise what you really want :hugs:. Good luck for when you do start trying though.

Well, as for me.............go look in P&B :grin:

A BFP on CD47 and I think I'm about 3+6 and due around 6th April although I'll be angling for a dating scan on the grounds of irregular cycles :wink:

Best of luck to all of you for next month and I hope to see some graduates to join me in April Mums.

[SaintSarah]

Already saw your post Angel, but congratulations again :cheer2:

Yay Angel!!

So pleased for you!!!

[Redsquare]

Haven't really posted much to this thread as yet.

Sorry to everyone who's AF has reared it's ugly head.

AF has arrived for me this morning. Was starting to feel a bit hopeful as have been feeling nauseaus for the last 4 days. Oh well, onto month 4.

Many congrats Angel. Have posted in P+B :ellie:

[Littlejojo]

well i guess i am in the 2ww again. Really not sure how to do this as my cycle has been different each month for the last 3 months. we didnt dtd that often this time, we have been so busy, so will see. Will try not to watch symptoms so much this month, YAY right who am i kidding


Sorry Redsquare it wasnt your month

[Princess Fiona]

Shining Star, sorry to hear that AF arrived but at least now you know, must be such a relief, and YAY that you're going to be ttc for real now! Maybe we'll be due date buddies again.

What am I doing here? :loco: :mad:

OUt of the blue today, decided to do an OPK. It's CD 15 and I think I got a + on CD16 last 2 cycles. It was + today.

So I dragged Mr Minky off to :adultcontent: while Lulah was napping :shock: and we'll try tonight and for the next two days.

But I really haven't got a hope and am pinning my positivity on the ARGC appointment in October.

AF due around 16 August I reckon.

Good Luck Minky, you just NEVER know!! Maybe there is a mircale around the corner waiting for you! :kiss: Think i'll be due around the same time, haven't bothered with the calendar this month.

Fingers crossed for you Minky :fingers::fingerscrossed:

Well, I'm expecting AF any day now, my last one started on 1st July and my cycles were so up the creek before I got pregnant that I'm assuming a 30ish day cycle. It's hard to tell though since I haven't had a proper cycle since giving birth. I could really do with it coming now and being mostly over by Wednesday because I'm going on holiday and that would be such a bind. I only had one day of EWCM on about day 22 and we dtd 3 times but I'm just not sure my body is back up to speed yet. I also want AF to hurry up so I can start taking my metformin tablets again. But then again I don't want to be taking them while on hols because they make me so ill :sigh:

Why is this all so difficult? :no:

No chance for me this month - really long AF and got a positive OPK a couple of days after it finished, just too hot and bothered, and tired from packing (my flat completes on friday this week) to do much about it. My cycle appears to be between 22 and 25 days so not long to wait to try again.

Congratulations Angel! Minky, sending you all my baby dust this month as it has been completely wasted here, may as well go where it will do some good. Janice, I hope you have a great holiday.
