We're not obsessing, we're Just Shagging! Part III

Brassica I've pee'd on 2 sticks so far. Both negative, so now I have to wait until Saturday which is 17dpo, the day last cycle I FINALLY got that BFP. It's the down side to having a short luteal phase. Short 2WW, but long BFPW(ait).
I try to keep in mind the post I saw with a list of stat about dpos and +ive testing resluts. Actually if I could be arsed unearthing it I'd post it to help calm a few impatient nerves (or at leat get you lot off my back ).

Phew I made it to the end.

I'm so so so pleased to see there some other joining me in the testing club. Although to be honest with AF 5 days MIA and my symptoms getting stronger and stronger (nearly threw up last night, ugh) I already know the answer, am just waiting for the pee stick to make it official. Also I won't be happy til 19DPO as that'll take me beyond last months CP.

Milano it really depends on your luteal phase length. Mine is sort and AF typically turns up 9DPO, but for others it can be longer than 18. I think 14dpo is the average.

Snowpea I agree with Josie sounds like ov pains to me. I know I get pant snot about 4 days before the pains, but have no idea about consistency etc. It's there so things are working as far as I'm concerned. Sounds like you're in with a chance.

Who would joke about theit DH not being able to do the deed? That's one hell of a sick joke if that post isn't for real!

Hola viroids!!

Glad things all seem normal on here!

Brassica tired to pop on yesterday to wish you luck but WiFi is ad-hoc up in the mountains [smug holiday grin]. What an arse about the dildocam...probably from my over use ;o)

Took my last 2 Norethisterone pills today so fingers crossed should have a 'period' in the next couple of days. I have the sorest boobs and am horribly bloated (could be due to the epic amount of food I have eaten though!!). Not entirely conclusive to swanning around in a bikini. Still, and I never thought I would say this, but I am glad I am on hols with my Ma and not the DH as boob touching and poking of any kind feels really off the agenda

Must dash, brekkie and a sun lounger awaits....

Buenas dias xxx

Oooo Cowboy what tattoo are you getting? I?m in the same boat with my DH, he?s coming around to the idea but he?s really not keen (he wasn?t with the last two either though )

Harder don?t beat yourself up! I turn into a complete freak when it?s my turn to test! I lose track of how much money I waste spend on testing early! Maybe if you do one little one it?ll satisfy your need so you won?t need to do it for a while, and you know it?ll be negative as it?s too early so you won?t be too disappointed, and there?s always time for a positive one nearer the time. Oh dear, I?m a bad influence!

Baby2b I?m 6DPO so slap bang in there with you! I will not symptom spot, I will not symptom spot?..

Truffkin LMAO at your stealth shagging!

I?m no expert Snowpea but I think the pains sound like ov pains to me, I usually get those, or stronger pains on one side and definitely aggravated during JSing. You have to put the little dashes beside each word I?m afraid, it won?t do whole sentences.

Bonkerz how awful! At least you and DP/DH will be over the moon, stuff the rest of them. And if they can?t pretend to be happy for you then they?re not worth worrying about. I had an mc then found out about a week later that SiL was preggas and it was so difficult but I put on a brave face and pretended to be over the moon because it would have been awful for me to taint that memory for them with my miserableness (like my new word?)

Well, nothing to report here. I am currently in the 2ww, can test on Friday 17th and I will not go mad this time (holds hand on heart). I will not crazy symptom spot or test early (hmmm?) or in any other way go nuts about possible pg

well i feel SOsick today, its probably all in my head and im really trying not to get too excited cos its very early days. tested again last night......i know i know!!!!.....but it was positive again although didnt tell DH i had tested AGAIN! am gonna go get some more tests today i think just to be sure. seems very strange cos i know that noone will be happy for me. My MIL will go mad (will be her 10th grandchild and she really doesnt want 10!) my sister will think im copying her (she is due nov) although we have been 'trying' for 4 years. My boss will not be impressed because we have 3 pregnant staff all due between NOV and FEB and ive just been promoted! and ive just started my 2nd year of a degree course! LOL

Grr, don't know why strikethroughs didn't work. Grr.

Wow, every time I try to catch up on this thread there're more and more posts! I've finally made it to the end having taken a personal day to read mumsnet relax after a long weekend workshop.

But now I need advice ladies, all comments welcome .

I think that I have ovulated recently, but as this is first month off the pill and I've never really looked for pant snot signs of ov before I'm not entirely sure. TMI may follow.

On Sunday I had what I think could be described as stretchy and mostly clear but a little cloudy pant snot. However, DP was away from Thursday and I may have... um... self-serviced on Sunday morning, so I'm not sure if it was because of ov'ing, or because I'm an insatiable dirty stop-out sexually healthy young woman . DP was back Sunday evening so we JSed Sun/Mon/Tues. Tues I experience a very creamy discharge which has now disappeared, and both Mon and Tues I had on and off pain on each side of my abdomen, which was aggravated during the JSing. (See, I told you there'd by too much information!!!)

So, my first question is does this sound like ovulation?

And my second question is when should I test? I haven't had a regular period since DS was born, with one being as long as 42 days a couple of years ago. As this is my first month off the pill, should I assume 28 days, and say test at 29 days and see what happens, or should I wait 42 days, or somewhere in between?

I need a date ladies, or I will test obsessively and expensively long before AF is due (whenever that may be), which I know because I'm already obsessed with the idea, and I may have only just started the 2ww.

Ah, thanks for listening to the beginning of my insanity.

Evening JSers, some interesting stuff going on then! Bonk hoping Thursday will be your day!

Brassica massively annoying about flange-investigator being out of action. Maybe the shag cape has worked it's magic already.

So I've invested in a charting app to track my cycles. It tells me that CDs 15-19 are the days to really get my cape on. Unfortunately we're at the in laws for 2 of those days so may have to invest in some form of gag / cotton wool to stuff in mouth or similar so we can go enjoy some stealth shags!

Hope everyone in Londres managed ok with transport today. I did a lot of walking so am looking forward to stiffness of thighs in the morning! Night night all, looking forward to a proper catch up tomorrow.

Evening ladies. Far far too much going on here for me to keep track off, so hello to anyone new I've not yet welcomed!.Bonkers that is very exciting, I hope Thursday is a lucky day for you!

I feel very impatient this month. At about day 10, so time for some serious JSing (hurrah); but it feels like it's been ages already! I think this is because last month was when we decided it was time to TTC. That happened mid-cycle (we missed OV by 1 day) so this is the first full month of trying. The down-time from CD1 to Ovulation is much worse than last months (vaguely pointless) 2WW. Probably cos the first half involves PMT, spots, and no shagging at all

brassica what a shame your fanjo didn't get the opportunity to go radioactive. Definitely lucky you decided to go for it last night .

Good luck to everyone else, lots of you sound like you are close to testing, yeah! :)

I agree harder, I really struggle with the 2ww...there isn't anything to pass the time. I feel productive when I am using opk stick. All I have to do now is symptom spot and really it is too early! Though when I poked my boobs earlier it hurt, first symptom?!

Hello, just having a read to see what I have missed.

Sorry the machine was broken Brassica, that is rubbish! Love the fact that the cape was never out of action though

Fingers crossed for you Bonkers

Well done to those that answered that post. If it is true I feel a bit sorry for her. Sometimes things come across harsher when you type them, but everyone has problems. I had second day back at work today and found out someone is 12 weeks preggers...yes everyone else is falling pregnant, but what can you do. She is lovely anyway and has been trying for ages and ages!

Milano I'm thinking 14dpo, but I am not sure 100% sure

I am currently 5dpo and the jsing has wound down a little. Had a very busy js month and bits needed a rest

Is anyone around the same stage in their cycle?

It's funny, I am quite at peace that TTC could take months, even years. I'm cool with that. It the frickin two week wait I'm finding unbearable!

You should expect the Red Tide Of Doom about 14 DPO ish.

at hardertokidnap

Brassica can't believe the fanjo machine is broken!

11 dpo here... do i expect my period 14-ish days after ov or do i count from the start of my cycle? there's 5 days' difference!! that's, like, a century in the world of ttc-ing!
Anyone know?

Lol hardertokidnap join the club!

crochetgirl, for me it's like if I've blown my nose into a tissue after I've been swimming or eaten chilli - it's so stretchy and wet it's on the verge of runny, and it's almost colourless and transparent. It looks identical to that. Sorry tmi !!

Just driving myself mental here. 9DPO and sore boobs for five days, really hurting, emotional and just want to KNOW. Might do a test tomorrow even though of course it will be negative because I just feel I want to do SOMETHING. I really don't want these sore boobs though - if this is a new "thing" I'm going to have every month I think I will have to cut them off.

Things I Have Learned About Myself This Month: I am pathologically impatient and probably need medication.

I just read that thread and replied! I was trying to be nice, but now I feel like a bit of a chump in case it was a fake! My DH can't finish either, so we have to be a bit creative in that department, ha!

Its CD14 here, oooooooh. Shag cape firmly attached. Had some pant snot today - but I understand there is varying degrees of colour and 'elasticity'?! How do you decide if its creamy-clear or just creamy? And when is 'stretchy' stretchy enough? I don't even remember looking when we were TTC our little boy!

Takethatlady: I dodnt notice that one.

No coyboys here as picked that name as DH's fav stripping song is Kid Rock Cowboy!

I just want something to happen now, so far no positive test (did one yesterday)and no AF which was due yesterday and I want to get on with the shaggin!

Might tempt fate later and pounce on DH as need to butter him up as planning a new tattoo and ot sure what he will think!

You should probably wait. I wasted two tests last time when I could have saved myself some money by just waiting. I'd only be able to wait until tomorrow if I was you though

am due today.....no sign of period though! have just told dh about the test yesterday and we both think we will wait till thurs to test again

bonkerz sorry I've lost track a bit - is your period actually late? If so, I say test away! (If not, wait til Thursday )

AGH i hate this....want to test again but said i wouldnt till Thursday......Didnt tell DH last night about the +test but think im gonna have to say something tonight!
