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

I am due on around the 11th/12th of May. This is our 4th cycle of TTC number 2, after a MC last Jan, and our 2nd cycle using a Clear Blue Fertility Monitor to keep track of things. We managed to DTD 5 times (a record for us!) in the days just before and while I was (hopefully) ovulating, so I have (despite my best efforts) got my hopes up that this month will be the month.

Anyone else out there got 2 weeks of waiting and symptom-checking looming and want some company?

I'll join you - I'm on CD 16 today, using a CBFM, did the deed a lot running up to my 'peak' and on my 'peak' day. Miscarried in Feb, last November and last June.

Hey, good luck.

I feel distinctly period-y today but I'm still days and days away from actually being due on, so it's either my imagination or implantation or body getting ready for period. Be good if I could just forget about it for a while.

I've still got the tenderness going on. I've just been on FF and worked out that tomorrow is actually D-day for me, not Friday (it does help if I learn to count including day 1) so wish me luck...

Today's symptom... I'm really narky but surely I can't have PMS already? Nearly 3-year-old DD is playing up but I'm not sure if that's making me narky or because I'm narky. Whatever, the thought of PMS is making me even more grumpy. Hey ho.

How are you all?

Hello - can I join too - think I am ovulating in next few days following a mc in March so first month of trying again after that - will be SWI'ing over next few days!

Welcome all! Nice to have some company...

Today's smallest symptom that probably means nothing... a pain, like a pulled muscle, low in my abdomen on the right side. Made me realise how clueless I am about what actually happens after ovulation. Could this have been ov pain or implantation??

I need to google what exactly happens when. Dur...

And it is too early to have swollen boobs, right?

Count me in. Not too hopeful though. Both me and DH picked up a stomach bug from the nephew so only managed to DTD on days 12, 15 and 16 :-(

4th of May here! I use fertility friend and it thinks I ov'd on CD12 (which I'm not all that convinced about) anyhoo, if that is the case, then we managed to SWI on CD9 & CD11 only - so we're still in with a chance.

No symptoms to report though! :(

My 4th cycle since a MC in Jan too. Although TTC#1 for oooooooohhhh 4 YEARS!!

Hi i.ll join you. This is my first ever wait. Feeling surprisingly ambivalent about it as don.t reall know when i ovulating this month and feel normal so i feel like its too normal for me. To be pregnant- like i would notice some uterus related symptoms or something. Maybe i.o not trying hard ennui with the symptom spotting! Must poke boobs or something! X

eurochick · 26/04/2011 15:17

Me three!

I'm having an odd month but I think I am ovulating around now.

As I posted on another thread, I usually have a positive on an opk for one day, followed by ov pain (always on my right side), followed (for the time I have been temping) by a temp rise. I started acupuncture two weeks ago and she thought from my charts I was oving but wanted to boost my ovulation and luteal phase. I have just had a 3 day long LH surge CDs 15/16/17. I am now having what feels like ov pain on both sides and it is CD19. No temp rise yet but maybe tomorrow.

Past month I have always got my period 13 days after my positive OPK, which would put me to 5-7 May but this month who knows! Acupuncture certainly seems to be doing something. I am just not sure what yet!

meliesmummy · 26/04/2011 14:08

I'll join in if that's ok? I'm due 9th May. According to a cb digi opk I ovulated on Sunday. I was very excited because this seems to bs my first proper cycle since a mc in Feb. We dtd most days leading up to Sun plus yesterday (not easy considering I work nights, we spent the we at my parents and we've got a 3 yo dd!). We've been trying since June. Good luck ladies! Let the ridiculous symptom spotting begin!

Hi Shimmery... thanks for joining me! Friday isn't too long to wait, although I find the symptom-checking goes up a gear the closer you get to D-Day.

The boob thing is really annoying. Last month I had proper twingey boobs which convinced me I must be pregnant, but no, just PMS. I never noticed twingey PMS boobs before, of course...

ShimmeryPixie · 26/04/2011 14:00

I have also got my hopes up. We DTD every day from day 9 to 14 (and I ov'd on 13). I also have very very very achey breasts (which I have spent too much time trying to work out if it is normal PMS-y symptoms, too much exercise, or a symptom).

ShimmeryPixie · 26/04/2011 13:55

I'll keep you company for the rest of the week at least. Friday is D-day for me...
