I am at the start of the 2WW and planning to test around the 11th August. This is my first proper month trying to concieve following a MMC in April. I am already so nervous/excited and just wish I could fast forward!!!!! Anyone else at the start of their 2WW? Hoping for lots of BFPs!! xx

oh sorry to hear that mumpty.

best fo luck for next month

well, i did another test yesterday bfn again.,still no sign of af, im pretty sure, 95% feeling im not pg, and if im not i wish af could just come on so could just get stuck into trying

i think ive pribably made a cock up about when i ovulated, i dont think i ovulated when i thought i did.
perhaps i'll get some cb dig ovulations test s fro next month.

if im not pg by this friday i'll definatley rule any chance.

think i'll try with a bit more commintment next month
as having swi once is a bit lame!

Hi all, hope you well. Just thought I would update you all. I
tested on Monday morning with fr and got a very very faint +ve, going by ewcm this would have been about 18 days post Ov, so would have expected so see convincing line which this wasn't! Exuded that I would wait and test again Wednesday, but AF showed up early hours of this morning.

Good Luck to everyone still to test, and FX that everyone who didn't catch this cycle will next cycle xxx

carriedababi · 14/08/2011 23:02

hi guys, no signs of af yet

bought 6 pg test today for 2 quid lol

the lady serving said you do know theres 3 tests in each pack don't you? as i was buying two packs of 3!

will be testing again mon am now, as i don't mind wasting 2 quid

pretty sure it will be bnf.
like 90% sure it will be bfn, after doing 3 neg tests so far!

MammaInTheMaking · 14/08/2011 22:50

Hey, thought I'd just say that I've had no symptoms in the boob area at all. My signs were nausea which has gradually worsened! No AF which was a major give away. And now I can't suck my tummy in. I'm a size ten so can normally suck my tum in flat but now I can't. But there's of course no sign of a bump yet as I'm only 5 weeks. Thought I'd share Smile x

mammyemcbe · 14/08/2011 20:18

sorry to everyone that was visited by their AF . hopefully next month will be your month Smile still no sign of my AF but im determined not to test again for at least another week Hmm . i know exactly how you feel havealittle im boob prodding aswell. well im actually looking for every little symptom but i still think its my body playing wicked games with me. good luck mumpty Grin.

havealittlefaithbaby · 14/08/2011 16:29

I'd say I'm in two minds about the temping. Useful to know when your fertile, length of luteal phase therefore when af is really due...but all consuming. Certainly doesn't take the pressure off when it comes to ttc either!
Argh the end of a tww is awful. I know it feels like jinxing but you're either upduffed or not! Get the test :)

MumptyDumpty · 14/08/2011 16:15

Evening all hope everyone is ok.

Glad you got the result that you wanted posh

Sorry about the bfn carried, any signs of AF? When will you test again.

Any one else about with news? 1sttymer little dragon?

Thanks for advice regarding temping havealittle, all sound vey complicated, think that's why I decided not to do it originally. Do you think the benefits out way the faffing of it?

Well I didn't test thismorming as didn't manage to get a test yesterday as ended up having a pretty hectic day, then needing to have an early evening nap as felt like someone had drained all my energy. I am just considering going to get a test now to do in the morning but feel like I'm jinxing things if I do...that sounds crazy right?
I've become a knocker checking, boob poking nut, but I don't want to test and get a bfn then AF arrive after!
I've not eaten since last night because everything I try makes me gag, boobs are sore, don't have usual AF pains, so I feel like I'm preggo, and testing could ruin that dream, meaning it's all in my head! Sorry for the waffle xxx

Poshbaggirl · 13/08/2011 21:03

Smile @ sylvanian baby bus!! Love SFs.

Ndp has always been a nob, i'm just very forgiving and a bit flattered when he says i'm wonderful or whatever. I need to end it for good, i'm a bit stooopid with relationships.
I tend to see the positives and forget the negatives of peoples personalities and in situations.
But anyway this isnt a relationship thread!! Good luck with the baby making! X

carriedababi · 13/08/2011 20:05

posh i'm glad you feel relieved
Smile
your ndp doesn't sound too caring is he always a nob or is he ok most of the time?

my days been ok thanks, took dd to the park, treated her to a new toy from the money her great grand parents gave her earlier this week
she bought a little sylvanian family baby bus

just had a nice chinese.

now relaxing

boobs are still a bit tingly though

a multi vit wouldnt do you any harm, perhaso stresshasnt been helping you?

Poshbaggirl · 13/08/2011 19:52

So now to work out why i've been so utterly knackered and asleep every afternoon for the last 10 days! Vit b? Iron?

Poshbaggirl · 13/08/2011 19:48

Hi Carried. I'm actually hugely relieved! DP's lack of reassurance that everything would have been OK just showed me his true colours. ExH is here mucking about with our 2DD and i'm reflecting on how nice my life is without extra complications.
I'm a positive thinker and a romantic, so had dreamt of living happily ever after with a ickle baby DS, but it was just a romamtic notion. Not what God had intended for me!

Fingers crossed that it'll be a BFP for you! Hows today been for you?

carriedababi · 13/08/2011 18:21

posh i can figure out if your happy af is here or not?

hope your ok.

Poshbaggirl · 13/08/2011 16:49

oh hello AF, kind of you to drop in when I'm at work and unprepared. DP will be DELIGHTED to make you a nice cup tea, oh, he would if he wasnt in Greece.

Interesting test of how DP reacts when I'm in an emotional crisis!

Geez! Do I feel stoooopid or what???

carriedababi · 13/08/2011 16:33

probably because theydon't have the sort of insight intution as we do, afetr all its our bodies and we know, if something is not quite right.

are you hoping you are pg posh?

Poshbaggirl · 13/08/2011 16:30

I've sworn to God to DP that I'm pregnant because I've been soooo tired for 10days, asleep every afternoon, He won't give me the reassurance that everything will be ok, because he doesn't think I'm PG, so I'm so emotional and confused, as we are not married and I'm 41yrs. he has 2 DS, I have 2 DD.

Now after that 'oooo is that AF' coming feeling discovered the brownishness (sorry if TMI!) and crampy tummy, feel a bit stupid that his cautiousness is vindicated. grrr

Why do men have to be so black and white?

carriedababi · 13/08/2011 16:16

posh you sound in the same sort of situation as myself.

guess all we can do is wait and see

perhaps you should do a test first thing in the am.

Poshbaggirl · 13/08/2011 16:06

10 days of mega tiredness.
Period due wed 10th, so now 3 days late.
Test on wed = neg.
Test middle of last might = neg.

Bit of brownish ness today.

Any opinions?

It was the tiredness that has knocked me for 6. Don't know what to think.

carriedababi · 13/08/2011 15:35

oh thanks havealittlefaithbaby
i don't think i'd really be able to do that everyday.
so perhaps id just try ovulation tests again, perhaps digital ones.

boobs are still tingling today, no sign off af.

its annoying me now, if im not pg, wish af would just arrive so could get on with next months trying.

ive already done 3 yests this month and will probably do at least one or two more next week.

necxt month i'll try to be more sensible

havealittlefaithbaby · 13/08/2011 10:38

I used (given up temping for a bit now) an oral fahrenheit thermometer. Ear ones aren't senstive enough. You should temp before you get up (any movement can alter the temp) and ideally at the same time and after 3 hours sleep (not always possible). For the last six months I have woken at 6am every day - even weekends - to temp. This morning I slept til 8.45 and it was bliss! Charting is very useful to gauge when you're ovulating (I started charting to see if I was ovulating because my progesterone was coming back low). BUT it sometimes takes over your life! -can't wee at 3am, might affect my temps, must take thermomter on holiday with me etc. If you really want to start temping I strongly reccomend this book. DH says I should have shares in this book I've reccomended it so many times! Seriously though it helps you understand your body signs in conjuction with temps. There's also a great charting course on fertility friend and you can put your temps into it and it'll do your chart for you and tell you when it thinks you've ovulated. HTH

carriedababi · 13/08/2011 09:27

What. Sort of themomiter do you use ? Can you use an ear one? Do you have to take it in bed?

havealittlefaithbaby · 13/08/2011 09:16

mumpty as an experienced charter I feel qualified to help! you'd need to temp every day of your cycle to see a pattern. It's lower at the start of your cycle then you see a peak as you ovulate. However the actual temps and cover line (the line that divides the pre and post ovulation temps varies from month to month. Drinking the night before tends to give a higher reading too. My temp usually drops one or two days before af is due. Hth.

carriedababi · 13/08/2011 09:06

Just did the test bfn again, still no sign of af and my boobs are still tingling

Think next month I might use digital ovulation test

Going to try to not feel fed up, yeah right lol

Perhaps I'll do one Finaln test next week

MumptyDumpty · 12/08/2011 23:57

Hmm very interesting carried Smile prehaps you have been testing to early for hpt when you tested before. Only thing is I think that clear blue tests need a lot of hcg to read +ve. Did you get any other tests?

I will be testing on Sunday or Monday if AF doesn't show.

Hope you are ok figaro and enjoying the car Grin

Any one know about temps? I never used this method, as always forgot to take etc. I just took my temp out of interest, my usual temp averages 36.5, and today it's 37.1?! Is this a good sign AF due Sun/ Mon. Not sure how close to AF it would normally drop etc.
Thanks in advance x

carriedababi · 12/08/2011 19:33

thanks fig, i'll update tomorrow.

Figaro82 · 12/08/2011 19:14

Good luck ladies!!!! Fingers crossed for BFPs!!!
