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

I am being driven completely nuts by the fact that I now regularly feel like my period has started, visit the loo all ready to be upset, and then find that it is cm rather than anything else (sorry tmi).

I think it is probably better for all those involved (including DH and you ladies who are having to put up with me) if I tested soon. Just a bit afraid to test as 'maybe I am pregnant' is better than ' I am definitely not'....

How have you not tested yet wild?!! I was staring at the tests earlier and I'm only 6 dpo!!! Thankfully I have a busy few days so hopefully testing time will come round quickly!! I currently have a hot water bottle on my tummy to ease the cramps. I'm milking it with my DF and getting chocolate and cups of tea for my efforts :)

Welcome Piglet, the more the merrier! You and I will be testing around the same time. I am planning to test on Friday, although maybe Saturday would actually be better as I will be in no shape for work afterwards either way!!

laughing that is a hilarious symptom! Sorry to hear you are feeling down... Really keeping my fingers crossed for a BFP for you so you don't have to make these decisions.

figaro very jealous of your sore left boob, haha, one is better done none. You would actually think my boobs would be sore by now given the amount of prodding and checking I have been engaged in. No idea when implantation bleeding usually occurs. How many dpo are you?

No period yet here, which is very good news... cd32 today although it has to be said that last month my period showed up on cd34. Still, time to start dusting off a leftover HPT....

Figaro82 · 02/08/2011 19:19

Havealittlefaith- similar to my symptoms, but ours are definitley pregnancy symptoms :)

Welcome Piglet!! I admire your willpower!! I would be poas already!! Let's hope your BFP in Saturday is the first if many!!

Hi, Can I join in please!

I'm testing on Saturday (when AF is due as can't brave doing it early then not believing the results!) As for symptoms had AF cramps and intermittent nausea for the last 2 days... driving myself nuts!

Good luck everyone!

havealittlefaithbaby · 02/08/2011 17:54

Hmm at the poo but I have ibs so I'm no help!
My symptoms remain: big, tender boobs, exhaustion, crazy dreams, low mood and a bit overemotional which is not at all like pms

Figaro82 · 02/08/2011 13:59

Laughing, I just spat a lemon bon bon after laughing so hard at the last part of your post! I have no idea if it does, but I really really hope its a positive sign for you and that you get your bfp! Most people deserve to be mummys and your one of them x

Pink ew is a great sign.
I am eating sushi for lunch because once I get that BFP is about ooo 11 days I won't be able to eat it.
Wild ice cream wouldn't make you feel sick the next. You must be pregnant.

Ladies I am so sad.DH says he won't adopt and I am just terrified that we are never going to have our own children. I know I gave to stay positive and we are doing all the right things...

On a lighter note I've got a symptom! Can your metabolism speed up in v v early pregnancy? I've pooed twice already today. I am v regular so it's not like there is a back log!

Figaro82 · 02/08/2011 12:47

Hi wildwater,

Yep that sounds like morning sickness and I agree the ice cream has nothing to do with it!

I had some pinky ewcm this morning but think its to early for ib. ALso my left boob is really sore! LOl!

OP posts:
Wildwaterfalls · 02/08/2011 08:56

Morning ladies!

Any symptoms to report this morning? Morning sickness anyone? I actually felt a tiny bit nauseous, which is clearly pregnancy-related and nothing to do with the huge quantity of ice cream I ate last night, haha!

Figaro82 · 01/08/2011 20:01

CBDs need to be saved for specialy occassions! Im planning on peeing on millions lots of sticks and when I am 100% sure I will use the golden CBD and use that to tell my DF!!

OP posts:
havealittlefaithbaby · 01/08/2011 19:43

I did have a job lot of internet cheapies used up cycle before last. Last month I.was massively self controlled. We were on.holiday when af was due and only bought tests when I thought af was on.her way. Might buy some more for next week...I would want more than one bfp cheapo before ripping open that cbd!

Figaro82 · 01/08/2011 19:32

I have loads of the internet cheapies (so I dont feel guilty POAS all the time), 1 FRER and 1 CBD! Tempted to write pregnant on it with a pen to make me feel better! Lol!

OP posts:
havealittlefaithbaby · 01/08/2011 19:28

I've got a poundland cheapo and a cbd (has been gathering dust in the bathroom cupboard for a while waiting for a cheapo bfp first.). Get excited when I see it sometimes thinking about using it and getting it to say 'pregnant'!

Figaro82 · 01/08/2011 19:28

Well thats it. We are all pregnant then!

OP posts:
havealittlefaithbaby · 01/08/2011 19:26

Oh yes I'm having +++cm, sticky/creamy too.

Figaro82 · 01/08/2011 19:21

Come on ladies, we need to stay positive! There are 4 BFPs in waiting here!!! I will get a BFP or spend the next month sulking!!

Ive also had more CM and I know I ovulated last week. Sounds promising! I want puffy boobs too like Mousebacon!

Feels good to know its next week when we get to test (this week Wild)! Doesn't feel so long now! I have my POAS all ready!

OP posts:
Wildwaterfalls · 01/08/2011 19:11

That's interesting mousebacon... more cm.... I have that so will count that as an official symptom.

laughinglemons nice to hear someone is the same way about the week leading up to a period... I have now embarked on the once-an-hour trips to the loo to see if it has arrived yet... Sorry, tmi!

Sounds really promising havealiitlefaith... Tender breasts is the number one symptom I think!

havealittlefaithbaby · 01/08/2011 18:52

I has a temp dip 5 dpo and a rise today (although I was drinking a bit yesterday). Tender breasts here too. Nothing else discernible...jury is still out!

mousebacon · 01/08/2011 18:33

It was all going so well...had a few cramps today, had a temp dip yesterday BUT temps stayed down today so now I'm wondering if I've even ov'd yet! All the signs were good but we're going to keep up the SWI just incase - will still be testing though!

Good luck all. I find my pg symptoms are...more cm, cloudy wee, puffy breasts and abdom cramps...

laughinglemons · 01/08/2011 08:58

wild hi there. i so know where you are coming from at this point in your cycle - you can't give up until your period starts and with me it takes until it really starts... its a bit early for detail but i am sure you know what i mean.
twice this year i have actually managed to cry twice in one month because i've been convinced i've had implantation bleeding. Good Luck.

Wildwaterfalls · 01/08/2011 08:44

That is a very big effort lauginglemons! I know what you mean figaro about all the testing and thinking that goes into ttc. Not very natural.. but it is very hard when you want something so much!

I am now starting to think this probably isn't my month... No symptoms whatsoever other than a bit of lower back ache which I think may mean my period is actually on its way early. Haven't quite given up hope though.

laughinglemons · 01/08/2011 00:30

Thanks Figaro Sorry to hear about you MC. Glad you started this thread. 13 seems ages away...

Havea I had a hycosy a early this cycle (to check tubes). Apparently the flushing out of the tubes is suppose to help (so long as tubes not blocked..) i have been told to have a hysteroscopy before trying any treatment.

Figaro82 · 31/07/2011 19:07

Welcome havealittlefaith and laughinglemons!! The more the merrier!!!

Havealittlefaith - Mardyness is an early sign of pregnancy (well thats what we will tell ourselves!).

Laughinglemons - 7 times in 5 days is impressive!!! I hope you get your BFP just so your DH can rest!!

I thought trying for a baby was going to be the most natural thing in the world, but theres nothing natural about peeing on OPK sticks, testing your ERCM and lying with your legs up in the air for 20 minutes! Our poor other halfs must be trying to remember what they found attractive about us!! LOL!!!

Fingers crossed for lots of BFPs!!! :o

Hello All. Due to test on 13th. Can I join? I was prodding my right boob today.. Poor DH is exhausted - 7 times in 5 days and he isn't young!
We are getting desperate - ttc1 for 18 months.. I am 35 and a half!
