Am 29, TTC 1, cycle #1... After much silent stalking of threads on here and research DH and I have this week just decided to start trying. Very excited and also a little bit nervous about this (potentially) long journey we've just started out on!

Roll on 7th May... anyone else in a similar boat/care to join me? Smile

Thanks, you too! Hopefully next month will be our month :) I'm new to all of this so not really sure about what symptoms to watch for... Trying not to think about it too much but can see how easy it is to become obsessed with it!

Oh yes obsessing is quite easy!!! It's so hard to pin point symptoms they are so similar to your period coming that its hard to know. I've been pregnant 4 times and still don't know what to look for lol! I do know though that I should be able to test about 10dpo I got a postive that early with my last baby.

Hi!
I am in the middle of TWW, 7dpo.

I'm planning to test on Sat (10 dpo).

Good luck!

Helloooo! I am on 2WW now....solid smiley on cb monitor on Tuesday evening (after flashies on Sun, Mon and Tues) which corresponded with my FF app which predicted ovulation on Weds (CD12). I defo had some mild cramps yesterday too. DTD Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon, Weds and this morning and hoping that will be enough as we are both knackered lol! DH usually doesn't need much persuading but did this morning....poor dragon Dragon! It was also his idea to TTC in the first place so I'm not having any complaining Grin. AF is due on 8th May although cycle a bit unpredictable due to having stopped pill in December. Not testing until then.... promise

Mel we are pretty much on exactly the same cycle! Just popped to Asda and came home with a whole bunch of HPTs- I can't even use them for at least another week and a half! (Although am going to try and hang on til AF is due...). And Waffley I agree, this month is dragging. Trying desperately not to wish my life away but it's really hard not to.

Am off work today (am a primary teacher still on Easter break) and have just wasted the last half an hour watching pregnancy announcements on YouTube- Had such big plans to get lots of marking done this morning but it just isn't happening. Some of the videos are hilarious though, if you're looking to procrastinate today I can recommend it!

Let us know how you get on on Sat chicken! And Thunder and bessie- keep us posted Smile

not officially, so don't tell anyone I'm here...
we had sex on Tuesday and I've been feeling sick today, bit bloated and the scales are 3lbs higher thsn this time last week.
I am.probably just feeling the effects of a stressful week, but I've cracked open the folic acid just incase.


under no circumstances tell anyone I've posted.
please

BFN this morning.
Only 10 dpo though so perhaps a little optimist!

Will wait a couple of days and test again.

Anyone else testing soon?

Just had a better look in daylight. Might be a line!

nickelbabe · 26/04/2014 20:33

wait till tomorrow! (new stick thoughf

also, you get a clearer result if you piar (piss in a ramekin) and dunk.the stick for the time rather than pissing directly onto it.

Popple85 · 26/04/2014 22:11

Definitely test again tomorrow and let us know!

I've still got over a week to wait. Ugh.

Thanks everyone. I think I'll have to do a few more tests before I really believe it. I also m/c in Jan at 6.5 weeks so trying not to get too excited.
Certainly getting symptoms though, so that's encouraging.

Hello folks, first post here, mind if I join in?

So we are now officially ttc #2 (see username!). I have long-ish cycles and apparently the capacity to ovulate twice (gulp!), though not every time, if the jabbing pains in ovary region are anything to go by. I am somewhere within tww - AF due around the 4th May - never sure if/when it pops out as there can be twinges for days.

Symptom spotting already. :( Please somebody tell me I'm being silly.

Great news above - I see two lines :)

nickelbabe · 27/04/2014 21:47

I'm symptom spotting too.
I hsd my period at the beginning of the month.
oh! I just realised it was the week after I thought! I was going to visit my mum after mothering Sunday, but I went the week after! I was on my period when I went up there. from the 7th not the 1st!!
so it's not due until this Thursday!
bollocks. I just POASd and it was negative. I've wasted a stick Shock
