The 2WW Luxury Liner has officially set Sail and I was wondering what the other passengers were like?

Hello Ladies.....

Anyone else in the same Boat??

CD16 for me, OV'd (as far as I can tell) on CD14. Had the whole EWCM thing but am so obsessed with this TTC thing that I am (for my sins) using the CBFM and trying to get my head round temping - its like a full time job ATM.

So I'd say I am officially on the 2WW.....

Didn't particularly enjoy the last 2WW as it was my first month TTC so was totally convinced I was PG the day after I OV'd - silly cow - I had fabricated every symptom you could think of and was truly suffering - in my head!

So this time round I am determined to try and take it easy, hence the reason I am on a cirtual Cruise.

Would love to meet the other passengers and share 2WW stories, worries and joys. If you fancy it come aboard.....

aww cowboy I know how you feel about the two week wait, I was going to be all good but it just clashes with something all the time. If no AF for me this weekend I am not going to drink though.

I've never heard of Mothercare World. I always want to go in one but am never brave enough to go in....

Well, I have decided having got a BFN on Monday that I am going to wait until Sunday now. Some days I think my symptoms are pg, other days I think Pregnant. I am rather manically symptom spotting at the moment! eek. Let me know how you get on!!

cowboylover · 08/09/2010 19:25

Well still no AF I did a test on Tuesday (late at night tho)and a BFN from me but as I have only just got used to my cycles it may be just that so will wait now til Saturday or Sunday and see what happens if AF doesnt come.

I must fess up that I didnt go to the babyshow but did go on a mamouth Mothercare World and Childrens ikea tip. I was convinced that it was never going to happen to me and that I was missing out on stuff on my 2ww's so went to a house party and drank all night so was feeling fragile!!

Think it serves me right to be stuck in the middle of no where!

raspberrytipple · 08/09/2010 17:47

Cowboy are you here? Any news, i have no AF but am now S**t scared to test!!! I have decided to wait until Sunday now Confused doubt I'll last that long though.... ohh and how was the baby show? x

curiouselle · 07/09/2010 17:11

Hope the counselling goes well, the first one I think is always very tiring and draining but hopefully you feel like it is someone you can connect with. Hug x

Crazy that is brilliant news. Another Graduate, I'm so pleased and so fecking jealous all at the same time. Sorry Crazy, I'd never take it away from you hunny....WELL DONE! Smile

Well there are now 5 pregnant woman in my department at work and all of them have told me in advance of everyone else cos they didn;t want to upset me after everything that happened with my last PG. Makes me feel a bit like a charitry case to be honest but I know they are just trying to be kind. doesn't stop me from remembering though that I should be 33 weeks preggers now, that should be me, why is it not me, what did I ever do?

Sad

I've got my first couselling session today so hoping it helps.

Hope you are all doing well XXXXX

That's fantastic crazydayz thankyou for letting us know the symptoms, I can guarantee we will all have them now, whether we have ovulated or not!! Ha ha.

crazydayz · 05/09/2010 18:57

Hi ladies,

CB digital said PREGNANT 2-3 weeks! I'll catch up with you all properly when back.
Phone signal here is awful.

Stormbird Sorry to hear aF got you. There's never a right time and I think that the average couple could be finacially secure in most cases before TTC.

Symptoms prior to testing were bloating and mild nausea and a heavy feeling in my lower abdo from about 10 dpo.

Good luck those of you waiting/ retesting!

cowboylover · 05/09/2010 18:55

We will have to keep each other strong!

I had eery symptom imaginable and plus some last month and it turned out to be just that put a badly fitting bra and a tummy bug!

I dont feel well today and all I want to do is sleep but every time I think it this time I am making myself say that is also a sign AF is on the way as well! I dont know if its working or not but I hope so x

curiouselle · 05/09/2010 16:38

Aw sorry Stormbird but whoop about the extra trying!

And congratulations crazydayz, I bet you can't wait to tell DP! Fantastic!

I am trying away, last night DH dreamt I was pregnant and due 6th October so if he is right got a wee while to wait. I would love it this month, just got that 2week WAIT!

goldmaple · 05/09/2010 16:36

Congrats crazydayz!!

6DPO and no real symptoms... did you have any crazydayz? Does anyone have symptoms?

I will be testing next saturday but I'm not due until Monday. So hopefully we will have a bunch of BFPs next weekend!!

stormbird I also get stressed about money/work... but I just remember that there will never be a perfect time so might as well go for it:o (this is what I tell DH too)

Sorry, I just basically repeated my earlier post! That will teach me to log on way past my bed time!!

raspberrytipple · 04/09/2010 23:33

Cowboy-I will probably test again on Saturday too, not sure I've caught this time though, got lots of weird bloaty pains that dint feel like AF symptoms really but I suspect are and I've got no symptoms this time at all whereas last month I was convinced! Fingers crossed!!

cowboylover · 04/09/2010 20:08

Rasberry we are due on the same day, when if it doesnt arrive are you going to test again?

I think if it doesnt come [and really hope it doesnt] I will test on Saturday morning but ask me again Wednesday if it doesnt come x

Hello everyone,

been away at a wedgin and just got back!!

Welcome Goldmaple this has been a pretty lucky thread since it started so I hope you have an enjoyable and relatively short time on here whilst you are TTC.

CONGRATULATIONS CRAZYDAYZ Woooooooohoooo! I'm so chuffed for you, I bet you can't wait to see your DP's face.

CD30 for me of a usual 28 (for anyone who deosn't know you can set your watch by me when it comes to AF) Yes girlies still no sign. I'm very tired and have had a few sharpish pains recently. I'm far too scared to test cos now I've gone the other way and don't want a BFP. We really aren't in the right place financially and accomodation wise and I'm on a massive emotional rollercoaster. Arrrrrgh!!!!

I'm just gonna wait a few more days. You never know I might just be late cos of worry!

Hope you are all well xxx

Smile

Aww, I'm sooooo happy for you crazy!! How are you feeling? When was af due originally? I'm due Monday, poas on thurs an got bfn. I was up most of last night with weird pokey/stabby pains in my tummy, really bloated and farting every five mins. Sorry, tmi!!!
Took to having a hot water bottle to help, didn't feel like my normal pre af feeling though so keeping fingers crossed.
Hello goldmaple!!! Welcome to the cruise!
stormbird any news? xx

crazydayz · 04/09/2010 09:44

Greetings from Greece lovely ladies!

Welcome Goldmaple!

This is going to be a really quick post as the signal is soooo bad but had to update you!

POAS this am and 2 lines appeared!!!! I want to wait until I can do a CB digital before we call it a BFP though as am still in the realms of not believing it! Shock

Just needed to tell some people as am away without hubby at the moment, don't get back til Tuesday and want to tell him face to face!

Sending you all sunshine and lovely Greek cuisine!

raspberrytipple · 02/09/2010 22:28

Know how you feel cowboy I've only had two and am fed up. Couple that with 3 couples I know who all fell pregnant within a few weeks of not even officially trying and it gets a bit gutting. AF is definitely on it's way because I feel hot and bothered and a bit emotional and panicky tonight. Boo hiss.

cowboylover · 02/09/2010 21:58

I dont think I can cope of many more 2 week waits as I only have only a 6 day wait left and im already hating every bit of it!

curiouselle · 02/09/2010 16:39

Welcome goldmaple grab a bottle o rum and hold on tight! Ha ha good luck!
stormbird how's it going AF arrived? Have you tested again? Like raspberrytipple I have my fingers crossed for you.

goldmaple · 02/09/2010 16:05

Can I join the cruise?? Hope it will make the 2ww go fast :) 4DPO and no symptoms - a little early i guess...

Stormbird fingers crossed that its not an evap line!

curiouselle I also have thought I was preggo before when we weren't even trying :) Very excited that this month there is actually a real chance!!

I'm trying to update the stats but I've never done it before!

Todays Stats Again:
StormBird TTC#1 Cycle#3 CD28
Cowboylover TTC#1 Cycle#1 (Properly) CD25 (?)
Raspberrytipple TTC#1 Cycle#2 CD25
Crazydayz TTC#1 Cycle#2 CD25
Goldmaple TTC#1 cycle#1 UCL30 CD20
curiouselle TTC#1 Cycle#4 CD10

Hope that is somewhat correct!

raspberrytipple · 01/09/2010 18:08

God Curiouselle sorry - I always spell your name wrong!

raspberrytipple · 01/09/2010 18:08

Curioselle, good luck!

Stormbird - any news, have you poas again yet? I dont think I could contain myself...... even if I thought it was an evap line, fingers crossed for you hun!!xx

curiouselle · 01/09/2010 14:24

Woo StormBird why are you assuming evaporation line, is there not a chance? Well done for staying calm about it tho. Keep us updated please!

I have had a test sitting in the bathroom drawer for a few months now (since I thought I was pregnant when we were not trying - Ha) and have not touched it, are you all impressed with my will power? Blush or actually DH would kill me for doing without him and I haven't had cause to do one so would feel silly suggesting it - but we will pretend I have will power!

Am busy trying, tried last night Wink will hopefully try again tonight. Fingers crossed!
