Conception

2ww driving me nuts!

TTC #2, it took 2 years to conceive dd now 1 due to various reasons including PCOS. Used OPK's and did the deed last Saturday on day of or near to ovulation after tracking every day on a 43 day cycle. Had spotting for 1 day only on Tuesday (also had this very early on when preggers with dd). Boobs felt like they were on fire from Sunday night. Now just feel pmt like. Had cramping from the Sunday which has tailed off now. But just feel weird. I started feeling queasy on the way home from work this evening. Have also been starving the last 2 days. I am sure I am imagining all the symptoms as would love to have another baby now. It could be the heat and recent lack of sleep due to dd. It is FAR too early to test. Can you tell me your v early pregnancy symptoms? Can you tell me to be patient please! I am already driving myself insane with the 2ww!! Anyone want to join me in the 2ww? Help me from going mad in anticipation and from being VERY disappointed if it isn't to be!

I feel your pain, I'm over-analysing EVERYTHING and it's driving me crazy.

With DS the only early sign I was aware of was sore boobs that was quite early to be AF but I didn't realise this was a sign until after the BFP! I wish I could be that unaware this time round Sad.

I keep telling myself that I've had some sort of "symptoms" pretty much every month ttc. The only real way to know is to wait but I'm such an impatient person!

Can I join you on the 2ww? I'm ttc#1, cycle 5. This cycle has been REALLY long, didn't ov until day 28, currently 9dpo, and I've been symptom spotting like crazy! We're all in the same boat, lets hope all our symptoms turn into BFPs! I've had sore boobs for the past 4 days, ravenous yesterday, also small amount of spotting for the past 2 days - Could this be implantation bleeding or just a really slow prolonged onset of AF??! Driving me crazy.

Will be testing on Tuesday if AF hasn't got me by then, what about you Giant and lolly?

I am very tempted to test now but there is no point!!!! FAR too early!!! I guess the very earliest for me to test will be Monday or Tuesday..but with my irregular cycles I have no idea if and when AF will come which is even worse..I have this morning convinced myself I am not pg and due a horrendous AF...this waiting is driving me mad. My boobs are very achy. Could just be PMT of course. Argh!

Im about 10 dpo ( i think! ) but I'm going to try and hold off testing until at least Wednesday as that's when I think AF is due. Whether i manage that is another thing! Reckon I Ov early this month so not too sure when to expect AF Confused

Aww, lolly, I know the feeling! I caved today and did a test. BFN. Also the spotting has continued for the last few days so I'm not hopeful for this month... Just waiting for AF to show up properly and moving on to next month. I'm considering going to the GP this week for a general TTC check up, have either of you done this, and what did they actual do / check for? My cycles have been fairly long and somewhat irregular (33-40 days) so think it might be best to get checked out.

Good luck, both of you, hope to hear some good news in the next few days! :)

Oh i am sorry Jennifer hope you are feeling ok? I caved in too. BFN. But it could be way too early. DH is really excited that there is the possibility I could be which is even more pressure. I worked out that considering my cycle was 43 days last month and I seem to have ovulated late testing again this Friday may be more accurate... One minute I am convinced I just have to be the next totally convinced I am not. So many symptoms which just could be horrendous PMT. I am a walking hormone one way or the other :(!!!

Boo to bfn's Sad its still early days yet though ladies so you never know x

I'm feeling very restrained as I haven't tested yet apart from a moment of madness at 7dpo which was obviously BFN
hoping work will keep me busy and help me resist for a few more days.

Giant, I'm swinging from 'I must be' to 'I'm really not' constantly. I Need to take a chill pill!

Jennifer I never went to the docs re ttc and check ups etc but I think it's a good idea, esp if you're concerned about your cycles. I imagine one outcome will be that the GP will recommend a smear if you've not had one recently.

Well, good luck ladies, show ain't over yet. I'll let you know when I cave and poas.

Hi Jennifer - yes i was nearly at assisted conception stage and then fell pregnant with dd. GP referred me and dh to fertility clinic, where dh's sperm was deemed good and healthy and i was diagnosed with pcos - i have little of the other symptoms associated with it other than irregular periods. It came to light when it took a year to get a period after coming off bc. I had a dye test to check tubes and had an appointment to see fertility specialist after that but fell pg...I have a feeling ttc #2 may not be straight forward as i would hope. The whole process from coming off bc and then falling pg was 3 years. 2 years from knowing something wasn't working. I would recommend opk's as most of the time they were taking my bloods on the wrong day. We conceived dd using them...hope that helps x

Well I caved and got BFN. Just waiting for AF to show at any moment. Just wish it would get on with it. Not too upset, got a few nights out next week I'd like a drink at so I shall make the most of them.

Good luck with the next cycle ladies x
