Hi Cherry :)

I want to ask nosy question of Lovehandles and lollopy please about testing positive late-ish, Lollopy I think you were late with af before the bfp, and lovehandles you say you expect that too if you are pregnant, and so do I given my experience with my 1st (only) pregnancy, do you have anything more to add on this. I know my mum didn't test positive until late but she can't recall how late, but everyone else seems to, it makes the 2ww even more of a challenge! What do you think is going on with us here, I for one pretty sure on O day because I get that 'middle pain' with it and always have done...and cycles fairly predictable too.

Hello can I join please AF due 9th dec don't have much hope for this month but you never know.

Good luck to you Ladies that are testing.

LoveHandles88 · 01/12/2011 09:28

Congratulations Lollopy!!
Sorry to hear that Lucyx.
I am still getting bfns, now on 26dpo. I'm not actually expecting a bfp (if I am actually pregnant), until at least halfway through next week. Well, either that or af comes a knocking sometime between now and then!!
Just more sitting on my hands until somewhere near then-DRIVING ME NUTSSS!!!!!!!
Keeping my fingers crossed for all you ladies still 'in'.

sedgieloo · 01/12/2011 08:22

yay!! congratulations.

Shame it was your last stick tho, I bet you won't be able to resist doing more HPT anyway just for it to sink in. I took 3 (all BFP) with DD1, just couldn't believe just one.

so pleased for you x

Hi ladies, can i join please?

3 DPO? TTC #2, first cycle.
I've not been charting or anything but think Ov was 3days ago (going by CM). I have a little girl who is nearly 2 who was a happy accident so this is our first time properly TTC.

Not too hopeful for this month as didn't BD for 3 days before Ov as i was away working. Did manage it on suspected ov day tho so FC.

Babydust to all of you who are testing soon x
Congrats to those with their BFP's!

Much luck to everyone waiting to test x

Cosmogirl · 29/11/2011 14:28

Thanks everyone.

Sedgie FWIW here are my 'symptoms' - there were quite a few! Hope it's of interest.

2 DPO - very bloated tummy - looked about 5 months gone!
2-4 - some niggles in groin, few stabbing pains in fanjo area!
Trouble sleeping and waking several times a night for loo and finding it hard to get back to sleep.
More vivid dreams - due to the night waking I think.
Itchy face, head and on one occasion an itchy nipple.
Some heartburn around 6 dpo (very unusual for me)
Back ache around 6-11 dpo (very unusual for me)
Cold hands and feet but warm tummy and boobs
Increased appetite
Caught a cold at 11 DPO - not sure if related to pregnancy (immunity low?)
High, hard cervix with watery wet CM from 1-4 DPO, which then went to creamy CM, then dry.

LoveHandles88 · 29/11/2011 10:21

Congratulations Cosmo!!!

sedgieloo · 29/11/2011 09:47

Cosmo - a big massive congratulations!!! How fantastic! Thrilled for you

No do tell did you have any (actually for real) 2ww symptoms looking back? I think you were just ahead of me in this ttc cycle so...I'm anxious to compare notes!

JNO18 · 29/11/2011 08:52

Congratulations cosmo thats great news!!

Cosmogirl · 29/11/2011 08:01

It's a BFP ladies!!! Tested last night as needed to go at about 11 and had one £1 test left. At first I thought it was -ve and was about to put the test in the bin when I started squinting at it and thought I could see something. Went to show it to DH and he agreed there was the faintest of faint lines!

Really struggled to sleep after that, but managed a few hours and retested at 5 am with FMU and a FR and got a definite line! Very happy but all feels a bit surreal still.

Good luck to everyone still waiting xx

Hey all. So I caved this morning and tested. And got a bfn. Not a surprise at only 10dpo but I've been feeling really nauseous - all day long. So hope is not yet lost. Keeping everything crossed!!

Oh, and I've been starving hungry all day. A symptom, or just greed?! I can't be sure ;-).

Cosmogirl · 28/11/2011 12:48

Sorry Ratata.

LB - Sorry you are still in limbo. Bless your DH re testing.

I am the same - I just want to know now and be put out of my misery! I am no good at this waiting business. Have a stinking cold as of yesterday too so feeling rather fed up and tired - sleeping has gone to the dogs during this 2WW and now with the cold.

12 DPO tomorrow and think I am going to test with FMU.

Well just as I post, a few hours later AF arrives, typical! Ah well, didn't think it would happen this fast anyway :)

Good luck to all those still waiting!!

Hello all, I hope I am ok to join in. Me and DH started trying on our honeymoon and just back home 2 days ago. We didn't think anything would happen as I was pretty sure it wasn't the right time for me to get pregnant but we thought we may as well start practising Wink I was still on the pill but also on an antibiotic.

Now awaiting AF, I am like clockwork normally and should have it today. I have abdominal pains and I am lethargic. On honeymoon we were watching tv and I started crying because there was an animal that was SO cute on a show. Can't remember what it was, a possum or something. I NEVER cry like that. (I'm emotional person at times but not for no reason usually!) Figured probably too early to be a pregnancy symptom.

I feel like AF is about to show her face, feels impending. Slightly bloated in my abdomen and constant but slight pain.

Holding onto the hope that it could be pregnancy but it would be so unlikely especially since we only started trying the other week.

Testing tomorrow I think!
