Anyone want to join me at the start of another 2 ww?

Thank you meliesmummy. I hope the cravings are right!

Congratulations pixie!!! [cgrin]. The first bfp of this thread...may it be the first of many!

I'm day 19 today. And my imaginary symptoms are stabby pains on my left side and a craving for elderflower cordial that I also had before a bfp my last pg. Part of me is thinking I'll come on over the weekend though like my last 2 cycles.

Hello

Just a quick visit to let you know that I got a bfp today. Very faint, but Mr Pixie confirmed that I wasn't just imagining it [cgrin].

I am obviously thinking faster than I can type today as there are a couple of words missing from all my posts!

The hubby's food poisoning affected the last cycle. This one, we have bonked to oblivion at all the right times! I am still not optimistic though. Hence the experimenting to try to see what is happening rather than waiting and hoping until my period is due, which is what I have been doing past months! I am generally good at resisting POAS. I think I have only used one test in the past 4 cycles. I am going to completely change that this time round by doing them each morning from 7 or 8 DPO!

PS yes, CD=cycle day. Oh and POAS = pee on a stick! There is a list of acronyms on the site somewhere.

Eurochick - you could be me. My dh has had a tummy bug, so we haven't really given it a good shot this month.

I am also 4DPO - not really sure what CD means (cycle day? in that case I am CD19). AF is due on 7 May. My cycle has been 28 days recently.

So I am joining you on the 2ww. I am not that hopeful, but will be disappointed if it doesn't work. This is third cycle TTC no.2 DD was conceived first cycle.

I have also had lots of 'symptoms' in the last couple of cycles, including 2 days of nausea and fatigue. But I do wonder if these are PMS symptoms that I never recognised before.

This month I refuse to try the sensitive strips from amazon as I have gone through an extraordinary amount in the last two months! I am resolutely going to wait for AF and as I am not that hopeful about actually getting a BFP, will save my money.

Good luck all.

CD21 and 2 or 4 DPO (depending on whether I go with FF or what my body was telling me).

My super sensitive (measuring 10 whatevers) arrived from access diagnostics last night, so if I get symptoms I will start the early testing.

Ho hum. Day 17

And hello to blueeyed, dreaming, bellakins and sims2fan!

Temp this morning was 36.55 which is higher than I would usually expect at this time (I'd expect around 36.20 or lower). On the plus side, it gives me hope. On the down side - it gives me hope .

This is going to be a very long day. But if things don't work out, there's always a gin and tonic at the end of it for me.

Hi, can I join too please? I'm due on may 3rd and it's my first time of proper ttcing. Last year there was one month when I convinced myself I was pregnant and spent quite a bit of money on tests but I wasn't, but this is the first month we have really been trying. The last few times I have been in a car over the last few days I have felt travel sick, and I don't normally get travel sick. I have been a bit moody too, and starting to feel a bit crampy and like my breasts are sore, but I often get like that in the week leading up to my period. I've told myself that I won't get my hopes up and I won't test until may 10th if my period doesn't arrive. I know that realistically, as it's our first month of trying that it's unlikely for me to get pregnant, but I can't help hoping!

Oooh, can I join too? 2nd month TTC and AF due on 8th May. Think I ovulated last Thurs or Fri as I had what I thought might be ovulation cramps on the Fri eve, but lots of EWCM on both days. Not using OPKs yet. We tried all last week and beginning of this week so I have my fingers crossed. Good luck everyone!

bluey, it drives me crazy too. It is just sooooooooooooooo looooooooooooooooooooooong.

Thank you ElmMum

They are such a long two weeks..........they are always too long in the 2ww so frustrating!

hmmm, I may actually only be 4DPO after all, not 7DPO .

CD19 though now - thats for sure!

well im now getting my first taste of the 2ww. yesterday though i was completely symptomless and boring, but today realised ive had two episode of going bit dizzy and blurry eyed while looking at the pc, just a bit swimmy. hoping its a sign of something more than just my mumsnet addiction! X

I'll join you in the 2ww. I'm due around the 9th and i'm on cycle 1 of ttc #2.

I am going to try my hardest to not drive myself mad this time by symptom spotting. I bet I last about 4 days.

Gah I hate the 2ww it's so hard. Does it drive anyone else mad too?

Each of the first 3 cycles of what I call concerted efforts (i.e. trying to time it right - we had given up contraception quite a while before) I got soem symptoms in the 2ww. Mostly the spaceyness/dizziness. So I decided I was probably imagining it. And then last cycle I got no dizziness at all. So I thought maybe I am not imagining it after all. And interestingly (well, I think it's interesting!) although we had times swi well, my hubby had had food poisoning and been violently throwing up for the two days before, so I suspect his swimmers were a bit weakened by that! Hence the experiment this time round.

eurochick - I'm planning on doing that if I get nothing this time. At least then I would know that something was happening!

Well I thought I was ovulation yeseterday because that is when I had the most intense ov pains, but this morning FertilityFriend stuck me at 3DPO! I am actualy wondering if I ovulated twice this month as I have had ov pain on more than one day (v. unusual) on my left side as well as my right (v. unusual) and 3 days of OPK positives (v. unusual).

I had my third acupuncture session this morning with a different therapist as mine is on holiday this week. This one seemed less sure of himself (but then he was picking up someone else's patient).

I am conducting a little experiment this month. So far I have refused to let myself test until my period is late (and it has not been). However, most but not all months since I started TTC I have had a few days of dizziness/nausea during the 2ww. I NEVER get that normally. I had been wondering if I was managing to get sperm to meet egg, but somehow they were not sticking around for long. My acupuncturist thinks something like that might be happening. So this month I have ordered some ultra sensitive tests and I am going to test regularly throughout the 2ww to see if I do get a positive result followed by a negative.

I'm linking arms with you meliesmummy in a virtual way

this month is my first month back trying and I haven't had any reflexology or acupuncture (which I have done in the past). I did take evening primrose oil for ovulation range (this month the rage didn't happen - and I didn't get any spots either!).

I'm lucky in that I have regular cycles.

I am really going to try to hold out on the testing until AF is due and (I hope) late - I've driven myself crazy with early testing in the past.

Hi hairy! I'm day 17 so I'll be doing the shall I shan't I test thing around the same time as you! I'm half optimistic (dtd on the right days, had a course of reflexology, taking flax seed oil which massively increased my cm) half pessimistic (it took 8 cycles last time so why should this month be any different, I've had stupidly short cycles since the mc so I could come on on Friday for all I know!). I hate waiting!
