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.....

Oh dear - like I said even though the chances are small this month - I am symptom spotting again. Blatantly there is not much and my boobs are probably sore from me pressing them all the time! I went to see my friend with an 18month old today and said 'awww' so many times she probably thought I was weird!
WHY didn't somebody tell me I'd get this crazy! Blush
I think it's a good idea I haven't started on this smiley face day thing, it sounds like an obsession waiting to happen?! Wink

crazydayz · 19/08/2010 14:47

Sorry I've been AWOL for a couple of days, work completely mad - this is the first time I have made it my desk since Tuesday!
Stormbird - Hope you enjoyed your smiley face day!!!

I want a smiley face day! I'm also using CB digital so holding out for my smiley face and SWI lots as well 'just in case' Grin
. We've been married 4 years now and never thought we would want children - but my biological clock started ticking about 6 months ago and now I can't think of anything else I've ever wanted more than a sticky BFP! It took hubby a little while to think things through because I think I'd put him in the mindset of no children but he thought long and hard and it's what he wants too. Hurry up BFP! Grin

For me we thought we where expecting after my period went AWOL then when we got the BFN just made us realise how much we both really wanted it and all of the we want to move 1st and its not a good time in my career stuff got shelved and now going for it!!

Lots of bedroom is now being enjoyed but after I totally missed the last one I dont know if I will even ovulate or anything? So see how it goes and with DH have decided that if AF doesnt come before September 14th will be testing day so one day I may be able to add some stats.

Good luck all Smile

Thought I'd do the stats - it would help if I could get mine right for once. Turns out I'm actually CD13 (as of FF) but thought I was CD12. Never mind.

Well did some BDing last night just in case, DP didn't need much persuading. I've been using some cheapie internet OPK's and was damn sure it came up positive last night then this morning got the same result on another one. Only thing is when I've read the destructions a negative and a positive can look pretty similar according to the diagrams. Very confusing Confused. Best to be safe than sorry though so we will BD and BD BD BD BD BD BD BD BD BD BD BD BD BD BD cos I am so fed up of being disappointed with BFN's. Will test again with a CB Digi OPK tonight I think.

How is everyone doing?

stormbird that is a sad beginning, I have my fingers crossed for you for this month, regardless of temps!

It is pretty amazing that we are all similar ages - fate! Smile

My story, well it is pretty standard, we have been married two and half years (together 7 and half) and both felt it was time! We talked about it over a few months and realised it is something we both really want - to be a family. Scary though eh?! Confused

Thanks Crazydays - but what about you, what has made you decide to join the land of TTC? (and anyone else if you want to share)

Smile

Well my temp dropped quite considerably this morning and then this afternoon I got a positive OPK, I'm only on CD11. Confused I was using the CBFM but have decided to give it a miss this month as it can be quite spensive so trust my cycle to go all whoopsy daisy when I'm not using it for back up.

I normally OV around CD15/16 as far as I can tell so I'm not sure what this means. Plus I've only been temping a few weeks so still trying to get my head round it all.

Oh well DP is in for a lengthy old SWI sesh this cycle Grin

Hi Crazydays Smile

I totally agree, can't believe we are all around the same age and the same cycle. Thats not to say that any one older or younger is not welcome - you are all more than welcome to join this thread.

My story so far is that we never really did decide to TTC. We found out we were PG at the beginning of March. I was 5 weeks. Totally unplanned and totally unexpected. Me and my DP have been together 4yrs and are still very much in love so although it was a shock we grew to be very excited about the prospect.

Then at 15weeks we discovered that our baby had a neural tube disorder called annencaphaly. Basically its like spinabifida but it occurs at the top of the headf and affects the skull and brain development. we were told that our baby was incompatible with life and was given the opportunity to go full term with the PG or terminate. We obviously decided to terminate. Not a decision we took lightly but we believe that this was the best one for our baby and ourselves (not to mention the rest of the family who were devastated).

We have decided to try this time not to replace what we've lost but because we have realsied we are totally ready and its what we both want. I have to say thought the urge to replace what we lost was unbearable to begin with. We have come to terms with thisngs now and are trying to take this TTC lark in our stride.

Thats my story.....it was a very sad start to creating our family but hopefully we can have a happy ending.

Hello everyone,

I'm on CD8 today so should OV in about 6days. Then I can get out of the boiler room (its hot hot hot down here)and back onto the Top Deck and join you all. I didn't walk the plank - this is my ship afterall LOL!!!

Congratulations MrsWajs This is excellent news. This seems to be a pretty lucky thread at the moment and I am so pleased.

I was thinking as it seems to be lucky maybe we should start posting our stats on here and we can name the graduates too?

I'll to a post directly after this with my stats and if your interested just copy and paste mine and add yours too. In order of Cycle day might be a good idea.

And for the graduates (if you want to) Add your name and the date of your BFP.

fingercrossegirl mrswajs & naitimum don't worry please try to stay positive and relaxed. Smile

Hope you are all doing well.

sorry I'm shattered as my ds didn't sleep last night, I meant to say I'm pretty sure my line hasn't got stronger, just stayed the same.
Good luck tho!
Curious, I blame hormones!

curiouselle · 15/08/2010 09:56

Think positive sticky thoughts girls! I am excited for you both. I never realised that there wasn't a 'oh my god I am pregnant moment', before I started this - stupid faint lines Hmm

I am 7dpo and didn't get jiggy with it on the day of ov, have noooo symptoms I can even faintly make up - but am still hoping - how sad! My friend made me get her first response and she is not due yet and also has no symptoms - what is it about this whole thing that makes you go mad! Confused

naitimum · 15/08/2010 08:15

Hi everyone,
Hope you get some answers (preferably good ones) on Monday fingerscrossedgirl.
mrswajs, having read a LOT this week about faint positives, apparently it depends a lot on the individual strength of the test and even within a pack this can vary greatly. Please try not to worry too much, as someone else said to me on a different thread, for today you are pregnant, and that's wonderful news and hopefully everything will be fine. I've retested too and I'm pretty sure my line has got stronger, maybe stayed the same... not sure. I'm 5 weeks today. Good luck tho!
