Can I be added too...

Af due 24th trying not to test til 27th!

Weeing lots? had stomach ache like period pain two weeks ago, no usual AF coming signs....... must stop this madness, all can be easily explained in a million ways other than PG but still!!!

Squirrel77 · 22/11/2011 16:55

Mrs C sorry to hear that!

Cosmo Regarding cervical position, I know if it's high it means your fertile and if it's low it is a non-fertile time. As far as I know, cervical position can't indicate pregnancy. But I could be wrong.

And this afternoon I developed the weirdest ever symptom: queefing (while at work). Blush Is this a preggo symptom?! Shock

LFT1976 · 22/11/2011 16:46

Hi to our new ladies, Jenn and FarmersWifey. And good luck for your tests!!

TheNewMrsC · 22/11/2011 16:45

And welcome wifey !! Fingers crossed for you tooSmile

TheNewMrsC · 22/11/2011 16:36

Cosmo I don't know anything about cervical position but I am intrigued how do you check it and what are you looking for ?

Jenn hope you get a BFP !! How have you been feeling any symptoms ?

I've came to the realisation that my symptoms are just af on their waySad that's how I feel now anyway

farmerswifey · 22/11/2011 16:15

Ooh please may I add myself to the list;

Squirrel, 13 DPO, testing 23/11
Mrs C, 10 DPO(?), testing?
Cosmo, 5 DPO, testing 27 or 28/11 (?)
LFT, 4DPO, testing 1 or 2/12
Medusa, 1 DPO, testing?
Farmerswifey, 11 DPO, testing 24/11

This is our first month of trying and never have 2 weeks felt like such a long time. I've no symptoms that can't be explained away by AF but it doesn't stop me from hoping.

shall keep my fingers crossed for everybody.

Jenn1982 · 22/11/2011 15:56

Sorry for crashing thread.

Jenn1982 · 22/11/2011 15:54

17 days-past-accident, awaiting blood test results friday/monday.
Truly irregular cycle due to PCOS, therefore didn't want to rely on hpt's (which have all been negative despite suspected implantation bleed). Wasn't ttc, but desperately hoping for bfp. Fingers crossed for all you ladies above too.

LFT1976 · 22/11/2011 15:45

Don't know anything about cervical position. I do know that for the past couple of days I've been EXHAUSTED. But again, I'm probably reading too much into this. At only 4dpo it's too early for real symptoms I think??

Cosmogirl · 22/11/2011 15:13

Fingers crossed Squirrel. Nothing much to report 5 dpo. Have some spots on my neck which I haven't had in ages. Probably last time I remember having spots there was pregnancy! Another symptom then Wink.

At least this week is panning out to be reasonably busy so I've not got as much time to obsess.

Anyone know much about cervical position? Mine seems to be high and hard at the moment. I think before AF it drops quite low and goes soft and open ready for period. I wonder if it changes to that, this will be a sign AF is coming.

LFT1976 · 22/11/2011 14:15

Ps Squirrel re your bfn. It can take up to three weeks (well 19 days) between conception and hcg levels being high enough to detect in urine. Keeping everything crossed for you!

LFT1976 · 22/11/2011 14:10

Isn't it funny how we all read so much into "symptoms" we think we're having?! Yesterday I had to climb two long flights of stairs, and I found it slightly tiring. So I convinced myself it was cos I'm pg!! Clearly, I'm just not as fit as I could be! ;-)

Still, another day closer to testing. Yesterday I was totally sure I would get a bfp. Today I'm less confident. But only time will tell.

Squirrel77 · 22/11/2011 08:40

My 'symptoms' have vanished - except for anxiety! Still no sign of AF, she was due for a visit yesterday...even tried sex and exercise to entice her...and at the gym I found I wasn't able do my usual workout, hmmmm...

I think we need some kind of list here:

Squirrel, 13 DPO, testing 23/11
Mrs C, 10 DPO(?), testing?
Cosmo, 5 DPO, testing 27 or 28/11 (?)
LFT, 4DPO, testing 1 or 2/12
Medusa, 1 DPO, testing?

Roll up, roll up!

MissMedusa · 22/11/2011 08:25

My 2ww starts today. Not holding out too much hope for this round but who knows. Symptoms so far: NEED FOR PASTRY

Cosmogirl · 22/11/2011 07:52

Morning ladies, day 5 over here! Ugh..... Last three nights have woken at 430 and struggled to get back to sleep. Another weird thing is my neck and shoulders have been feeling really achy and stiff. Also my feet were freezing cold in bed last night. Symptom Spotters Anonymous over here!

Cosmogirl · 21/11/2011 21:56

Evening ladies,

Mrs C - sorry you've been feeling a bit low. Thrush must be making you feel less than comfortable too. My DD is 2.7 and we were very fortunate and fell pregnant first try. I had been off the pill for 6 months before and had been monitoring ovulation via CM.

Squirrel - sorry for BFN. It is disappointing not to see that line come up but as they say on MN, it's not over till the evil witch sings!

LT1976 - Welcome. Sorry to hear about your mmc. I am 4 dpo so a day ahead of you. Nice to have your company. I am not handling the wait very well! Have lost count of the number of ridiculous things I have googled in conjunction with the words '2WW'. DH thinks I have lost the plot I think.

I bought two cheapie tests today so am debating whether to test at 10 or 11 dpo with one of those (sun or mon).....Or be good and wait until AF is late or the day before.

TheNewMrsC · 21/11/2011 20:48

Hi lft !! Oh sorry to hear about your mc hope you get a BFP soon !! Yes come join us in the slowest fortnight of the month !!Smile

OP posts:
LFT1976 · 21/11/2011 18:10

Hi ladies. I'm 3DPO and would love to join you in the 2WW.

It's my third month TTC ... after a mmc in early September. The first time round we weren't trying to get pregnant and it happened anyway. Now we are desperate for a baby, and I'm trying REALLY hard to be patient ... but can't wait for 1/2 December when I can test! ;-)

TheNewMrsC · 21/11/2011 18:05

Aw that's a shame but I wouldn't give up hope no matter what those tests say I don't think they are reliable until the day of your missed period . And if you think about it if you are only 12dpo your body could just be producing hcg now .

I think I will just wait until Friday that is when af is due .

OP posts:
Squirrel77 · 21/11/2011 17:45

Hey MrsC -got a BFN this morning but still have a glimmer of hope as it's only 12 DPO. Sorry you are not feeling good, what about going to a pharmacy and asking if there is something safe you can take? When are you going to test? Take care!

TheNewMrsC · 21/11/2011 17:36

Hey squirell have u tested yet Smile

Cosmo how old is your dc1 ? How long did you take to conceive first time around ?

I am not feeling great today in a wee bit of a downer today plus I think I have ended up with thrush from all the SWI but I'm scared to take anything just in case Sad

Hope you are all having a better day than me .

OP posts:
Squirrel77 · 20/11/2011 09:24

Hi ladies, yes I think our minds can easily play tricks on us at this time.

I seem to have become frightened of POAS! Don't want to do it! But have agreed with DH that we will tomorrow morning.

Also a bit sad as my temp has dropped a little (I am charting). But who knows....I have a huge stash of Ebay sticks all ready to go!

Weirdly, yesterday I decided I didn't want kids anymore, or at least didn't want a BFP this cycle. Seems that my mind is trying to psychologically prepare me for a BFN!

Waiting, waiting....

xx

Cosmogirl · 19/11/2011 20:13

Evening ladies, well done on the waiting! Least you are only days away. I'm only 3 DPO and have been having some really odd twinges, cramps, shooting sensations in my lower half today! Surely it is too early for any of that?! My mind must be incredibly powerful if it can play tricks like that on me!

More googling today led me to stories of women who got BFPs at 6 DPO!

Good luck everyone x

TheNewMrsC · 19/11/2011 20:04

Hi squirrel !!! Still hanging in there and not POAS yet ? Well done on the waiting hope it's worth it for youSmileSmile

Well I've been super tired today - was
On couch with DH and DD watching a film the next thing I know it's 1.5 hours later !! Think I might do a first response on Monday . ordered a few eBay cheapies as well they seem to be very popular with MNers !

OP posts:
Squirrel77 · 19/11/2011 18:06

Hi all, I'm also going crazy here in the 2WW (TTC #1, cycle 2)

(waves to MrsC from other thread!)

10 DPO and I'm going to wait (well, try, anyway) until 12 DPO to test. The weird symptoms I was having the last few days seem to have abated, now all I want is a drink!!!

Good luck all! And congrats Oggy!
