Welcome aboard ladies.
Please be seated, you may undo your seatbelts as soon as you see the SWI sign light up.

I'll be coming round with cake, biscuits and wine.

Come on girls, we can do it this month.

Heads held high and legs akimbo, off we go.

better u never know! Miracles do happen! Meanwhile, let's hope u and bubba gets better soon :)

Ok..... So I said I wouldnt test until my AF I late BUT shall I just do it and put myself out of misery?!?! my cycles have been 35,32,29,29,31 .... I came off the pill last autumn and feel my cycle is probably adjusted to around a 29-30 cycle.

Currently in cd26 which means potentially 4 days to my calculated due date. I've had stomach cramps since Monday although today seemingly better .... Shall I just do a small little test 2mo.... Or compromise and save to Sunday which would be cd29 OR wait until following Sunday (against if AF haven't arrived by then then there is better chance of a bfp or at least a def yes or no)

What to do?!?! Just feel like my life is on hold during the 2ww!!

Chunkychicken · 08/03/2012 16:35

Thanks Tuesday - when we bought you had to act fast otherwise you'd lose it too!! Never mind, it'll all be over soon hopefully Grin

TuesdayNightClub · 08/03/2012 15:21

Aw that sucks better but miracles happen, keep positive!

chunky going to your forever home sounds brilliant. Once you are there and settled in you won't remember how rubbish it was to lose money on this house. It is worth it for your kids to go somewhere you are happy with as well. How days have changed from when we bought! I remember queues of couples viewing every flat!

Chunkychicken · 08/03/2012 11:28

That's tough going Better hope you feel better soon x

bettergetamoveon · 08/03/2012 11:18

wow it's been busy around here since I was here last. Sorry to hear about your dog cherry. Tuesday you made me smile with the air steward putting seat in fully reclined position. chunky, bittersweet news on your house.

we've had a house of illness this week. A trilp to the hospital last night with my 3 yr old who now has an ear infection on top of the flu. hoping the antibiotics will avoid another burst eardrum. I myself was in bed for 8 feeling rough. right at my fertile time. Wonderful. If I get pg this month it would be a miracle.

Chunkychicken · 08/03/2012 10:30

Tuesday its tough going whenever house selling is involved. We spent probably 15k on the house over the 6yrs we've been there, including putting new double-glazing in throughout & a hardstanding, not just decor/bathroom/kitchen, so it feels harsh to not get any of that back & make it easier for this investor to make money from it, but at least DD will go to an outstanding primary school when the time comes (if we get the house we want of course) rather than possibly going to a failing school. That's what makes it worth it.

Couldn't do the tenants thing ourselves, needed the equity, and difficult with our mortgage, but fingers crossed it'll work out! I mean, this was only our first house & we're hopefully going to get our family/forever house next, so not too bad...

Still feeling a bit dizzy at times & still have the pain in my side. Hoping I've just pulled it or something, rather than displaced pain from something nasty!! It's too high up to be ovary/ectopic related I think. Confused

TuesdayNightClub · 08/03/2012 10:03

ok the glamourous stewardess has given me a nudge to wake up and I have put my seat in the fully reclined position because I am back in business -swi starts tonight!!! Finally approaching fertile time again in my stupidly long slow cycles.

Have been (mostly) off the booze and cut down a little on caffeine this month as well as taking B6 so fingers crossed cycle six is our time.

Re the house sales, we have been on the market for a year at the price we paid (having spent 6k on it) and eventually we moved tenants in and we rent somewhere else. Was a good move mentally but financially fairly hard going. Would bloody love an offer, any offer!!

Good luck

Ahhhh... It all becomes clear Wink

Can I join in on this flight ladies? TTC DC2, Last AF (what does that stand for?) was 21 days ago. Have been 'at it' every other day and am hoping we might succeed Blush

Chunkychicken · 07/03/2012 21:34

Seems like you've had a rubbish week Cherry, although at least you should be in your new home soon. I think 'a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush' pretty much covers my feelings about taking the offer. We have also stipulated 'sold as seen' so he can't haggle after the survey and on the market until that point to, so who knows, another offer might come along?? Hmm Either way, it gets some of the control back in our hands, although not for long, as soon enough we'll be on the other side of the offer!!

Think I must be coming down with something, feeling a bit rubbish all round :(

cherrypiew3 · 07/03/2012 21:06

Chunky we have had an awful 16 months trying to sell are house and all the rubbish that comes with it, we took 11k less than the asking priceSad and like you we have done a lot to it. Today we have finally exchanged contracts I thought we would never get here. Hope it all goes well for you and that you are in your new house before you know it.

Well the excitement of exchanging the contracts was short lived, my dog has been unwell for a few days took him the vets tonight and they are 90% sure he is blind in one eye and the other is going I am so upsetSad. I have to take him in for tests tomorrow he just looks so sorry for himself.

AF is still hanging around so not much to report.

MrsTwinks · 07/03/2012 20:16

ok well, currently 2ww-ing, and different from normal includes; heartburn, tiredness, ache in womb region, really vivid dreams and majorly over emotional. Also been nauseous in mid-afternoon which is odd, as well as the mornings but thats normal for me

Chunkychicken · 07/03/2012 19:55

Shagging With Intent Candypop and thanks. Not sure we'll be that lucky, but who knows??! Someone has to win the lottery don't they & that's longer odds...

Also do the phantom symptom thing, also had really weird dreams last night, but again could be stress related...

missuswife · 07/03/2012 19:40

Yes, PandaWatch, I have been having the weird vivid dreams again just like I did the first time. My boobs don't feel sore anymore or as round as they did on the weekend-seriously they felt like grapefruits--but the dream thing and sore lower back are giving me hope. Trying not to get too excited and just take it easy until the end of the tww.

CandyPop · 07/03/2012 19:36

yaya best of luck for your next cycle
Whoop whoop to chunky.... you're on your way to a hattrick!!

So last night, i was googling implantation cramps etc, apparently you can sometimes feel a flutter/cramps on either your left/right side?! Welll isnt it funny i felt flutters this morning and early afternoon (although it has now subsided). I do find it strange that whenever i read something online re pregnancy symptoms... i magically start feeling them soon after!! talk about phantom symptoms.!!! Not sure how cycles i can take if i am like this on my first!! I am OBSESSED!! Ah well not long to go before i find out cause i know for sure i am definitely feeling cramping (albeit tarnished with a bit of imaginery flutter) so either i'm gonna get a BFP soon or AF is immiently on its way.

hmmm finally random stupid question.... been trying to work out what SWI stands for but its got me Blush can someone enlighten?!

Chunkychicken · 07/03/2012 18:27

Thanks Crazytictac, I knew what you meant & fingers crossed!!

Feeling a bit queasy but boobs are ok, so think I'm prob just coming down with something rather than pg. Confused

Crazytictac · 07/03/2012 18:22

*Shit sorry BFP I meant. So used to seeing the other one myself

Crazytictac · 07/03/2012 18:21

Great news chunky, one big thing crossed off the list! These things come in threes so bodes well for a BFN soon too...?!

Commiserations yaya, still very early days yet but still frustrating as hell all the same.

pandawatch I have heard about the strange dream thing so you never know!

No tiredness for me today so yesterday was just a weird one although I didn't go full out at the gym today " just incase" but I've read it's fine to do exercise as long as your body is used to it and you're not upping the intensity.

Chunkychicken · 07/03/2012 17:24

Accepted the offer Grin

Sorry to hear that Yaya, better luck next cycle.

YaYaOC · 07/03/2012 12:57

AF got me. At least I can drink for my staff night out but still disheartening and this is only my first month. Lots of SWI next month and fingers crossed!
Good luck for the rest of you!

Chunkychicken · 07/03/2012 12:49

EAR infection not war obviously!!! :)

Chunkychicken · 07/03/2012 12:48

Thanks everyone for the advice. Think we will have to suck it up & accept the 'loss' and get moved. Have had enough of living in limbo anyway...

Not sure whether its stress, the fact that I ate only a small cake this morning or a symptom but I had a really dizzy spell this morning. It felt like I was in a snowglobe being tipped up despite being sat perfectly still. It was such a sudden definite feeling & so distracting that I wondered if it was actually the Earth moving, but nobody else seemed to notice!!! Blush Then, of course, felt sick, but you would if your brain had been tipped upside-down Grin. It could also mean I've got an war infection I suppose... Hmm
