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?

Evening all. Hello to the newbies !

I've updated the list but could have missed someone. Don't know how the other MNers do those massive threads with loads of stats. Is v befuddling!

Anyhow, I am having no symptoms at all but have looked at calendar and although I would normally be due on the 11th or 12th, if my luteal phase is 14 days then I may well get AF a couple of days before that. Assuming that I ovd on the days that the CBFM showed a peak reading.

Is that right though? Or do you ov after the peak reading on the CBFM? In which case 11th/12th is probably about right.

Lots of of you approaching the end of the 2ww according to this list. FX for you all!

Hi all, can I sign in

Am at the start of the 2WW, but have "hit" all the relevant days this cycle, so should be due AF around 17th May, but.... cycle was only 25 days last month so could be earlier........

milocuckoomitten · 02/05/2011 19:49

My GP is away this week anyway, so decided I'm going to wait until next weekend, test again then if no AF and then whatever the result I can see GP next week.
ALso going to start using OV sticks from next cycle if and when it starts!

mopey · 02/05/2011 18:26

Hi pinkponey I have always tested early and wasted so much money on tests - each time when I was pg I never got a bfp until 3 or 4 days before af was due even then it was very faint and that was with first response ones - think you would only end up driving yourself more mad by testing now as it would be sure to be a bfn - I'm on similiar timings to you - CD 17 now and I am going to try and wait until 9/10th May before I start to POAS.......sooo difficult though.....cant think about anything else!!

pinkpony · 02/05/2011 18:00

fingers crossed for everyone waiting to test, sorry it was a BFN milo

I'm slowly driving myself mad on CD19 or a 28 or 29 day cycle, I had convinced myself I wouldn't test unless I got to the 13th May but have just had spotting which I never normally get mid cycle so am thinking about getting one of the early indicator tests.

I can just see me bankrupting us by obsessively buying pg tests, please can someone tell me to be patient??

milocuckoomitten · 02/05/2011 17:19

BFN Sad Was a clearblue digital as well so likely to be accurate. Can't believe it - haven't had such a long cycle since August last year, understand why I would be a bit late but not this late. So disappointed....

VintageNancy · 02/05/2011 17:09

I'm doing it again, I'm googling early pregnancy symptoms. Someone slap me. Feel asleep for an hour on the sofa this afternoon.

Have you tested again milo?

No symptoms doesn't mean no baby hairy Fingers crossed :)

hairylights · 02/05/2011 12:29

I'm fairly sure I'm not up the duff. No symptoms at all.

sims2fan · 02/05/2011 11:47

Yes, do another test milo. Good luck!

milocuckoomitten · 02/05/2011 11:21

So do I dreaming
Still no test but no AF either. Think I ought to do another test today as have a meeting at work tomorrow and really should know if I'm pregnant as it would affect the discussion. Missed fmu for testing today but I guess that since I must be late already it shouldn't matter.

DreamingOfABump · 01/05/2011 23:38

gah! Very torturous to be kept dangling milo i hope things pan out soon. BUT, no af is a good thing- hopefully its a slow burner of a BFP.

milocuckoomitten · 01/05/2011 21:55

Still getting cramps and thinking AF might be starting but nothing and then they stop for a while. Not in the terribly stroppy mood I often get with PMS either. Still no sore boobs which I usually get every month just before AF.
Am absolutely bursting to talk to someone, just want to find out now so can either forget it for a while and concentrate on work or get all excited about having a baby! I am dwelling on this far too much!

mopey · 01/05/2011 21:19

AF due 13th May, mc in March so 1st cycle since then. Not quite sure when ov was but guessing Fri just gone - just hoping the next 2 weeks go quickly!!
Good luck to any expecting AF this week x

pommedechocolat · 01/05/2011 21:07

AF due 10th may. Feeling nauseous and have sore boobs. Have tested BFN twice today...
Attempting to wait until weds now.

DreamingOfABump · 01/05/2011 21:04

af due 5th may. feel sick all evening. hope its a sign. prob sign i have a vivid imagination ;) all will become clear in a few days!
(ive been sucked into the symptom spotting- argh!)

eurochick · 01/05/2011 20:58

7dpo today. Having quite a few cramps but had those last month too.

I am planning to start my daily testing experiment tomorrow to see if I can pick up anything. I am not hopeful though - I've had no dizziness/lightheadedness this cycle.

ElmMum · 01/05/2011 20:54

It's impossible not to symptom spot. I am going to change bras. This one is a bit tight around the ribs and could be interfering with my ability to tell if my boobs are tender or not. Sigh. Just want want want to be pregnant and to stop this TTC merry-go-round.

Have a nice evening, ladies.

Oh, btw, I am not at all laying off the booze. A glass of wine seems to be the only thing keeping me sane. I think I just have to believe that a glass of red wine or two isn't going to make the difference. I might change my mind if we don't have any luck soon.

Night!

I've been overly grumpy this weekend. Last time I was very sensitive and cried easily so maybe it's grumpiness this time?

It could well be pmt too though. I do have some tummy cramps too which I don't usually get.

I promised myself I wouldn't symptom spot oops!

sims2fan · 01/05/2011 18:59

I think I forgot that last month had 31 days, so actually think I'm due on tomorrow rather than on the 3rd. Today I am feeling how I often do the day before a period starts, so I don't think I'm pregnant unfortunately. Always a slight chance though I suppose.

meliesmummy · 01/05/2011 17:54

Think I can join you with the pms *hairy^ :(. I'm a right grumpio this afternoon (although it may be my headache and tiredness from my cold or my inlaws staying...)

Bellakins · 01/05/2011 15:43

Thanks for the list ElmMum! Glad to see ShimmeryPixie got her BFP. Let's hope it's the first of many. As for me, no pg symptoms at all I'm afraid. Still, AF is due a week today so not losing hope just quite yet!

ElmMum · 01/05/2011 15:12

Welcome Fidget. I've added you to the list.

milo I really don't know about implantation bleeding and then possibly getting AF. It's all a bit of a mystery I think. The only thing you can do is either wait for AF or keep testing every 3 days or so until you get a BFP. Miserable, I know, and totally takes over your head. I feel like there's a voice in my head shouting, "I'm TTC but it's not working", even when I'm having a totally rational conversation. Sometimes I wonder how other people can't hear it!

My ucl is 28 days so due on 10th the same day as my blood results for recurrent mc are due. Although last month I was 27 days.

FidgetPie · 01/05/2011 14:27

Hi all, just wondering if I can join - am on our first month TTC #2 and although it took a year and a half with DD1 (so unlikely to get lucky first time!) I can't help feeling excited! Am due on Friday 13 May (unlucky omen?!)

Am going to try and enjoy the wait and avoid POAS till I am due (ha ha!)

Good luck to you all

milocuckoomitten · 01/05/2011 13:59

I really need to know! How possible is it that I had the spotting that exactly fits the description and timing of implantation bleeding, but will go on to have a normal AF? I know I should just do another test but I hate to keep seeing BFNs, if I'm not pregnant AF should be here by now. I can't concentrate on anything and I'm just bursting to talk about it, so frustrating!
