hi all how we all doing? I am gagging to test but at 10dpo thats too early non? Had lots of symptoms yesterday and today so far not much really. I hate this bit just dont know if I am or not Hmm Can anyone cheer me up please? Irony- cheer comes up as cider on my predictive txt Grin

Gill79 · 05/10/2010 22:10

Hope still there for both of you! Fingers crossed.

9 days till AF and have a definite achey tummy this evening (and a rash.....Hmm)

Let's get those babies on their way sharpish so we can get as much child benefit in as we can before it gets taken away....

sufferingbabyfever · 05/10/2010 21:57

Stupidly did an early test today. Negative obviously. Couldn't resist it. Well at least I don't have any in the house now.

It was a battle of wills thats was never gonna end well. Must.....not.....pee...on....you....oh....peed on you by accident.

I've still got hope though (thats good cos I've got not tests left!) Can't predict exactly when I'm due AF, sunday or early next week I think...

Missyk5 · 05/10/2010 13:06

I still haven't got my period..., now 2 days late. However did a test yesterday morning and came back negative, though I'm not convinced to be honest.! I know on my first pregnancy I got a negative after my due period date and it was a good week later after my period was due that I finally got the positive. Any thoughts? Or would you all take it as a negative and await the period?.... :-(

Gill79 · 05/10/2010 12:54

and so much easier to obsess when there's other people to do it with! As I was drifting off to sleep last night had all these acronyms going round in my head....

I'm a bit torn as to whether to test next weeek. Shall be on hols. On the one side, have been thinking about it so much I'll just be totally consumed by the question so if it's a BFN I want to know sooner rather than later so I can relax and enjoy myself (and of course enjoy a glass or two of wine with less guilt!) On the other hand would be worse if I got a BFP and then something went wrong while I was away.

Nina - my DS (2.8) is obsessed by babies in tummies and spends a lot of time with his dolly up his jumper Smile My friend is pg and he went looking for the baby in the front pocket of her hoodie.

Suffering and MissyK5 - sounds promising? Let us know what's happening....

NinjaChipmunk · 04/10/2010 22:19

i know, i'm counting down the days. i find i'm better when i'm occupied. dp is out and ds is asleep so i've plenty of thinking time this evening......

PeevedEve · 04/10/2010 21:52

Erm, possible not to obsess about symptoms? Not really!

Your ds sounds lovely - hopefully he will be a big brother soon. Cute that he wants a baby!

Cramps & pressure are interesting but I know what you mean about not wanting to get your hopes up. Now we're on the home straight, it's hard not to be on 'body watch'.

As usual, i had some symptoms last week but not quite so strong this week.

NinjaChipmunk · 04/10/2010 21:38

Grin at trying not to think about it! is that possible?
am due the same day as you and have been having lots of abdominal pressure/ a few rather sharp cramps today but am trying to stop myself thinking i might be pg in case i'm up for disappointment. it doesn't help that ds has been asking if we can have a baby (one friend had one 3 weeks ago and another is due this weekend), he keeps poking my tummy and asking if theres one in there and i just have to say no its just my dinner Blush

how's it for you this month?

OP posts:
PeevedEve · 04/10/2010 21:31

Thanks Ninja - I think you're right. I just need to try and not think about it so much! Hope the 2WW is going well for you this month

NinjaChipmunk · 04/10/2010 21:24

evening! eve i find i know when i'm deffo not pg (like last month. i just knew there was no chance somehow) yet other months i think i might be having symptoms but it still turns out i'm not. maybe its because you are paying so much more attention to how your body is working that its so easy to misinterpret?

OP posts:
PeevedEve · 04/10/2010 21:07

Hello - I'd like to join too please!

I'm due 12/10 so final week beginning.

Gill - I think it is possible to not ovulate one month but I'm not sure that lack of symptoms would mean that you definitely didn't. It might be worth trying OPKs to check

Anyone else have loads or preggie symptoms during the first week of the 2WW but they fade away over the 2nd week until AF arrives? This seems to happen to me every month. The two times I have been pregnant I had no symptoms at all until 4-5 before AF due. So now, if I have any pregnancy symptoms during the first week, I just assume that I'm not pregnant! So frustrating....

Gill79 · 04/10/2010 14:16

Hello - can I join? AF due 14/10, first month of trying. I'm a bit of a newbie to the whole TTC thing - DS was conceived first time.

Can anyone tell me - if I've got normal AFs and not been on the pill how likely is it that I wouldn't ovulate one month? As no real symptoms this month (typical!)

I could be up to 8 or 9 DPO..... feeling weak and tired. Desperately seeking for other symptoms!

Good luck everyone.

Missyk5 · 03/10/2010 20:00

Thanks Ninja..., will do :)

NinjaChipmunk · 03/10/2010 19:58

Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

OP posts:
Missyk5 · 03/10/2010 19:52

I am due today..., but nothing...., I did 2 early tests both last Wednesday and Thursday (afternoon) and both came back negative..., but I have had sore, large and heavy breasts which I've had for over a week, and my tummy is very bloated..., I also have had an awful taste in my mouth occasionally. My partner goes away on military exercise tomorrow teatime for 6 weeks and I just so want to know now this minute - the wait is awful. I may do another test tomorrow (but first thing in the morning).....!!

NinjaChipmunk · 03/10/2010 19:07

Sounds like promising pg symptoms if you ask me. I've still got abdominal pressure and occ cramps but who knows
I don't think a test would show up yet would it?

OP posts:
sufferingbabyfever · 03/10/2010 17:37

Ok I need advice. AF due on between 10th - 13th October. Not quite regular cycle length.

Def ovulated 27th september and took advantage of the fertile window.

Now have these symptoms:
mid cycle bleed (spotting? extremely bright red)
Quite strong cramp
Sore head
nausea

Google says cancer Shock but could these be early symptoms?

Im trying to stay away from early tests! Though the urge is strong!

Surely it can't be my AF as this would be really early!

alien06 · 03/10/2010 15:38

hey everyone,

my lower abdomen pains are now joined by increased CM (soz for TMI!) not sure this is anything exciting? due approx 14/10...could it be late ov?? or am I just talking totally rubbish lol

sufferingbabyfever · 02/10/2010 21:54

I think its too early (boo!). Im not due till the 10th! I googled it and was frightened by the many links to a variety of cancers that came up! I have ran away and hid on the boards at mn! :)

skandi1 · 02/10/2010 21:50

Suffering,
implantation bleeding perhaps?? Sounds likely from your description.

Ooooh exciting!

sufferingbabyfever · 02/10/2010 21:39

Would love to join!

Already in the two week wait after ovulating Hmm

Im having a bit of bleeding or maybe spotting can anyone help me know what the difference is? Its not like my period, its really bright red! No lumps or anything like that and a liner is sufficient. When I have an actual period i need to use pads. ???

Im already stressed that this is another wasted cycle! Angry

doitorelsa · 02/10/2010 21:00

I would like to join in please! AF due 13/10, 2nd month of TTC. Been reluctant to join this thread in case it fed my obsession but can't resist!

alien06 · 02/10/2010 10:22

Can I join please?:) I'm due 14/10 ish! Has ov signs and bd all around that time as well as throughout the month, but did the same last month to no avail!
This is my 4th cycle seen having mirena removed so not 100% on cycle length yet but been between 30-32 so far , it is reducing though :) am hoping I get my new pmt symptoms again- bigger boobs hahaha
Have ickle pains in lower abdomen at the moment but that can't be anything exiting yet lol.
Hopefully we can all keep updated with our symptom spottin :) I agree wee being purple or something would be fab. It's the confusing with pmt symptoms that gets me!

NinjaChipmunk · 02/10/2010 09:55

can anyone tell me about opk's? if I don't get pregnant this month i think i will try them. although i'm hoping that since we've used concieve plus this month that it will have an effect.
i think i ov'd early this month, on the sat rather than the tues cos I felt some v weird twinges inside as it were. ah well, we'll see. 10 days to go.
can i make it to the 12th without poas?

allthatjazz · 01/10/2010 20:43

Having some wine tonight its red which is practically healthy non? Hope all are well jazzy
