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

Well I am well and truly confused! My cm has gone back to the brownish colour I had yesterday. The dark brownish red I had earlier has stopped. There was quite a lot of it when I wiped which made me think it was my AF. It's so confusing. I've never had IB before but this feels like there is to much and that it's been going on to long :(

Ah I'm sorry figaro :(
tomatoes congratulations.

Figaro82 · 06/08/2011 12:35

Well I think I'm out :(. I've got fresh blood in my cm now and quite a lot. Not as heavy as an af but quite a lot. Really upset as I thought this was our month. My cycles are all over the place since my mmc. 35, 34 and not 25 days. So not fair.

So sorry Piglet Sad. Really annoying after the promising signs. Really hope it will be your month next month.

Huge congratulations tomatoes! Fantastic news. And now you have the weekend to celebrate!

figaro pleased the wedding was fun! Fingers crossed that your cm is implantation bleeding. It certainly could be!.... My DH is also really pleased about the BFP. I think both of us are trying not to get too excited given the mmc back in March - kind of managing our own expectations I guess...

havealittle yes sounds like testing tomorrow might be the right time.... Exciting! Let us know how it goes!

montymum · 06/08/2011 12:09

Sorry to hear that piglet- always a kick in the teeth-fx for next month.
fantastic news for you ilovetomatoes you must be on cloud 9 this morning. Figaro I'll be testing on Wednesday too (although was tempted to test tomorrow as it is our wedding anniversary- but actually don't want to spend the day disappointed). I have been really good this month ad haven't bought any tests, having them in the house is just too tempting. Still no real symptoms for me except having to get up several times in the night to go for a wee when I usually sleep through the whole night but that could be down to any number of things. Have a great day everyone looking forward to hearing about lots more BFP.

Figaro82 · 06/08/2011 11:15

Fantastic news Ilovetomatoes! That's 2 bfps now!

So sorry piglet. Keeping my fx for next month for you.

I hope It's a positive sign havealittle. I don't have a good feeling about it though.

ilovetomatoes · 06/08/2011 11:04

Sorry to hear your news piglet, fingers crossed for next time.

So I tested this morning and got a BFP! Can't believe it, I'm in shock!

Piglet28 · 06/08/2011 09:34

Arrgghh poop BFN then AF got me this morning! After lots of promising signs his month too... bugger!!

Good luck to everyone else! x

havealittlefaithbaby · 06/08/2011 09:24

Glad you had a good time figaro. That cm sounds positive!
Nope haven't tested. Temp did come up a bit this month so I feel I'm still in the running....so I'm 13 dpo temps still up. Might test tomorrow...my luteal phase is usually 13 or 15 days so that wouldn't be too early.Hmm

Figaro82 · 06/08/2011 08:53

Well ladies, the wedding was perfect. Not drinking was not a problem as so much was going on. There's only so much coke you can drink in one day though!

I had thick brown cm (sorry tmi!) all day yesterday. I've never had that before between cycles. I also had cramps all day, but had this for a week now. I'm not sure if its a good or bad sign :(.

Wild-how did you oh take the news? Bet your still on cloud 9!

Carrie-I'm due on Thursday so will be testing on Wednesday. Try and hold out till then with me!

Havealittle-did you test?!

Lots of positive symptoms on this thread! Let's all hope we will be joining wild over on the pregnancy board!

Wildwaterfalls · 05/08/2011 19:47

Many thanks everybody!! It is so nice to be able to share the news with you ladies!

Some very promising sounding symptoms on here today. Littledragon and mumpty, I like the sound of your nausea, if you know what I mean, a very positive sign. havealittle what did you decide? Will you test tomorrow?? Good luck if you do! And Piglet you are testing tomorrow right? Good luck!

I will be following this thread closely over the coming week, and hopefully counting the BFPs. For what it is worth, I still have no convincing symptoms other that tiredness and (oddly) terrible lower back pain Hmm.

LittleDragon · 05/08/2011 19:28

My DP has had to do all the cooking today cos the smell of anything cooking has sent me nauseous. I've also been very tired dispite having 8 hours sleep last might compared to my usual 5 hours. He also had to bring me toast before i could get up this morning cos the waves of nausea were so strong.

carriedababi · 05/08/2011 19:27

well the packet said from 6 days before and i tested 7 days before, which is pretty bonkers!

not sure i can hold out until friday!

got any good distraction ideas.

Piglet28 · 05/08/2011 19:11

Wild - Congratulations!

Carried - Way too early for testing! best to test day AF due as you will always doubt the result!

Mammy - nausea very good sign, when is AF due?

Ilovetoms - i'm testing tomo as well, fingers crossed for us both!

Mumpty welcome! all very good signs!

Good luck everyone! we all seem to have PG symptoms on here!

I was convinced AF was gonna get me today (she still might) had really bad AF cramps all day just like before i'm due on, but nothing appeared yet! nausea seems to have gone tho... hmmmm bring on tomo!

havealittlefaithbaby · 05/08/2011 17:45

Oops meant to say congratulations to.wild! Marvellous news, definitely an excellent start to our thread! Let the bfps continue! To test tomorrow or Sunday, or leave it a while?!

carriedababi · 05/08/2011 16:22

thanks guys.

i was feeling sad this am, but have been out for the day and have actually forgottern about it for a while

i think it was just beacuse i dreamt it , i thought it was true

i guess i still have half a chance

won't test until next wed/thu at the earliest or perhaps i should just wait until fri

mumpty sounds like you could be pg!

MumptyDumpty · 05/08/2011 15:45

Congratulations on the BFP wild that's so exciting Smile

carried try not to be too disappointed, as you said it's very early to test, and could easily still get a positive result in a few days. Those early detection tests are aimed at people that ovulate at day 14. So if you happened to ov later this cycle may not be detecting hcg yet x

Hope you have a lovely time today figaro, what did you decide regarding alcohol, it's my brothers birthday today and we are supposed to be all meeting for a drink, I think I will drive and use that to cover the fact I'm not drinking.

Hope all you lovely ladies are well today. I am feeling very nauseas again today, everything I eat tastes weird, so could be a bug I guess x

havealittlefaithbaby · 05/08/2011 13:24

Bless you carried could still be! That's why I won't test early anymore, too many heart breaks. I'm not totally convinced about FR, they cost a lot for something quite ambiguous results! I will be poas with my poundland cheapo soon...

carriedababi · 05/08/2011 10:02

well i wasn't going to test today, think im due on period around next friday.

but last night had 2 dreams that pg test was positive

and i thought it was almost real when i woke up

so i did a first response test bfnSad

i know its a bit early well very early, but says 62% accurate from 6 days early

so i feel ive only got 50% chance now

next month i wont test so early

its only because i was convinced i was i id it

Figaro82 · 05/08/2011 09:36

Just about to leave ladies but a quick welcome to the newbies (everyone is welcome on here!!!) and a massive congratulations to Wildwater!! So happy for you!!! X

OP posts:
MammaInTheMaking · 05/08/2011 09:14

Massive congratulations wild, it's really wonderful. And no silly "maybe" lines on the test, a full on BFP!!!!

I've been watching this thread with interest as AF was due yesterday and she's not here yet. Have had all sorts of symptoms for a week or so now however I'm convinced they're only there because i'm looking for them. I have a very regular cycle so if it gets to Sunday then there's definitely something going on. Amazingly have held off testing. Need to manage my expectations big time...

This is my first cycle of TTC#1 so i really don't know what to expect or how my body would react.

Sending everyone a lot of luck x

montymum · 05/08/2011 08:53

Huge cogratulations wildwaterfalls, what a lovely way to start the day. Enjoy the wedding Figaro hopefully the sun will continue to shine.
Happy Friday everyone

Wildwaterfalls · 05/08/2011 08:46

Welcome carrie, monty, mumpty and tomatoes... This is a lovely thread and fingers crossed for you!

figaro hope you enjoy the wedding today!

Well ladies, I tested this morning and guess what: BFP!!! GrinGrinGrin The first of many for this thread I hope!

It came up straight away and really strongly! Very excited!! It will be hard to concentrate at work today!

Hope this is a lucky thread for all of us.

ilovetomatoes · 05/08/2011 03:37

Hi Everyone! Can I join this thread?

I'll be testing tomorrow morning, currently 13 DPO and have had incredibly sore boobs all week. Really hoping this is a good sign!! Have so far managed to resist testing but I am going a bit crazy, don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight!

Good luck everyone!

MumptyDumpty · 05/08/2011 01:51

Hi All. Please may I join too?
I am TTC number 2, I have Dd 6, from a previos relationship.

I had two early mc 2 Years ago, Then DP got a new Job which meant he is working away alot, so timing has been difficult typically my body and his work pattern have an issue syncing Smile so we have taken the see what happens approach, nothing has! Boooo!!!

We are now more settled and ready to activly TTC, and now crossing my fingers and toes. Trying not to become to obsessive, but that is easier said than done! I am driving myself mental with symptom spotting. Not due to test until the 14th so going to be hiding out in here for a while yet.

Sorry for the waffle, is insomnia a symptom, because I really can't sleep. Also had dizzy spells, period type pain when not due for 9 days, waves of nausea and major spots around my jaw line.... Never had these before obviously these are all symptoms Wink

Good Luck everyone FX for you all x
