Does anyone else feel like the two weeks after ovulation go on forever?! I read into every slight cramp or twinge hoping I'm pg but never am. Impatient doesn't even come close. Please tell me I'm not the only one?!

Well, I suppose 'late' is a slight bend in the truth as this is our first month of trying since coming off the pill so I'm not sure what my cycle is meant to be. I've done a lot of research into my pill and its common for most women to return to a normal cycle once they come off it. So far I'm 4 days late and two bfn's! 
I've ordered myself some ovulating and pg sticks so hopefully that'll give me a more accurate idea of when I'm ovulating to increase my chances.

8or 9dpo (not entirely sure)...and as chocoloulou33 said..."Draaaaggggiiiiiing"! And if my skin breaks out in any more zits, I'm going to regress to my teenage years and start acting like Kevin and Perry, it's my only defence. Seriously, zits at 45, what's that about? I usually get one or two when I'm due my period, but this is awful. It's not the quantity - it's the quality of 'em! They're HUGE and really painful. Gah.
And all the pregnancy symptoms I've been having since 5dpo have suddenly vanished. I POAS at 7dpo (I know, I know) because I felt SO pregnant, no need to say BFN, is there? LOL. Now I don't feel pregnant at all. Aaaaargh!
I'm going to go and get measured for a straightjacket, cos this is 2 years now and it really starts to get to you

I think this thread might have its first bfp.... been POAS every day since AF was late. Got BFNs until day 5.... then I got a feint BFP!!! Then I got a less feint, but still feint BFP on day 6. Gonna test again tomorrow and hoping for a dark line, cos I still don't quite believe it!!!! DP can't believe it either!!! 
So keep your chin up everyone- even if AF is late and you're getting BFNs, it doesn't mean your not pregnant... hang on in there bundle and anyone else in the same boat!! :)

Hi all,
I am new to mumsnet (just registered) and am in my first ever 2 week wait. glad to hear i'm not the only one going loopy.
quick questions, does anyone know what exercise is ok at this stage? i do a regular zumba class, and went today but am a little worried it might be too strenuous or something.
also just trying to get my head around all the acronyms. what does BFP mean?

hi little! thanks and welcome :) the 2ww sure will drive you crazy! i have no idea about the exercise question i'm afraid, but i can tell you that BFP stands for the wonderful big fat positive that we're all aiming for good luck!
The other big acronyms for this kind of thread are TTC (trying to conceive) and TWW/2WW (two week wait). oh and AF of course (that's Aunt Flo, aka your period).
