TTC and TWW, AF due 5th March - can you help me keep my sanity?

[Cozie]

Hi

Im now 9 days past ovulation with a BFN using first response this morning yet my breast are unusually large. They are quite painful from right after ovulation until AF.

My husband and I have been TTC since Dec 08 and MC at 14 weeks in June, now almost 9 months ago, i am of course dissapointed when AF arrives each month but what kills me more is this dreaded TWW

Would be keen to vent my 'phantom' symptoms with aynone else

Hi Cozie, I'm with you! TTC no 2 for same period of time without even a sniff of pregnancy. I am so sorry to hear of your MC, this is something I have luckily never had to go through, it must be so hard.
My body plays the cruellest tricks on me every month.. I've had em all... sore boobs, bad taste in mouth, late period, dizzy and nauseous, incredibly tired.
I have today had an implantation bleed, of course thats not what it is, its just that's what my body wants me to think it is
I am feeling crampy too so AF is probably coming early, at least if it does I will be put out of my misery sooner. I am usually so good at not POAS but AF was late last month so caved on second day over... AF came an hour later.

I am not due to 8th March but am already going dolally! This is cycle 11 so am getting bored of it all now.

Cozie sorry to hear of your loss.

Ladies

it is something that is hard to share with the other halves as they already think were nuts!

Tonight I'm dizzy and have cramps and ..... Tested still nope!!!

Roll on Friday when the bloody thing us actually due least like you say we can get on again (literally) I don't mind the first bit waiting to ovulate and 7 days of 'dies he know only slwring with him for his swimmers'

He does know this , last month I blubbed on this damn tww so this month we turned it into a real project, legs up, preseed and twice daily so really thinking if we've not hit the nail on the head this time when we really gave it our all what chance we got?!

Any positive pills going spare!

3 more sleeps!

How you girls getting on?

I am riddled with PMT symptoms so have no hope at all for a BFP this month

I suppose if you have resigned yoru self to a BFN then you are managing yoru expections well, other than keeping insanley positive only to be dissapointed!

The stupid idiot tested again this morning 11dpo and still nothing!

I am going to give up now until friday and continue to fret each time i check the loo paper after visting the ladies!

GRRR

No.....am trying to hold off until a bit nearer AF due date, as don't want the uncertainty of thinking it may have been too early to test, if that makes sense. I know that's stupid, cos if hormones are causing my symptoms then it should show up on a test.

Well I came off the pill in October, but we were careful until Christmas. My AF came back quite normally, but then I had a really long cycle (like 2 months) Dec-Feb. Doctor said nothing to worry abot, just body settling down. So you can see why I am reluctant to test now....although I feel completely different this month and had surge on an OPK in line with EWCM. So early days I guess, but I am one of life's worriers! Hope you are feeling ok about everything? x

I know...I also seem to have loads of friends who are getting pregnant by accident, which seems to make me feel even more pressurised! Anyway.....will try and wait until Friday to test.

[chainedtothedesk]

Can i join in too? AF due tomorrow. Have back ache so i know she is on her way but i've still got my hopes up so will be so dissapointed tomorrow.

Olivetti - seem to know so many people that have had 'accidents' too, or got lucky on the 1st cycle. This will be 6th cycle for us so its easy to start to wonder why its taking so long when it seems to happen so quickly for everyone else. (or do people just say it was an accident / first time round?)

[Olivetti]

Hi Chained. I have backache too, but I am still wishin' and hopin' - will keep my fingers crossed for us both!!
Well - accidents have happened to a couple of my friends, and we are 32...by no means old, but not spring chickens either. A few of the girls said they forgot to take the odd pill, but I would think you would have to be so incrediby lucky?? Or unlucky, depending on what you are wanting to happen.
6th cycle - I know it's easy to say, but just as many friends of mine have said it took at least that lomg, and MUCH longer before they even thought about timing it...you seem to have to be so organised and lucky at the same time!!!

[Cozie]

Olivetti Friday it is!!!!

My boobs have calmed down on the hardness but now my nipples are bumpy, no other pma or fake pregnancy symptoms!!

I know what you mean by the oh yes IRS negative bur but I knew it was too early! May as well chuck the cash down the loo!!!

Many if not most of my friends have been accidents and it's have to bite my lip when they go on at how hard it is to be a parent blah blah I say
