Does anyone fancy enduring my first 2ww with me?

Hello!

You may or not remember me, I was a really regualr MNer for years and years, I took a break around September time last year.
Anyway, I am back, dabbling my toes in a bit.

Long story short.

I fell pregnant, and miscarried 8 weeks in, absolutely gutted so DP and I have decided to stop the condoms and see how things go.
I'm not charting or taking temps or using sticks or anything, I have a brief knowledge of my own cycle. Although this one os slightly unusual.

I am a regular as clockwork 26 day-er. I see to recall from ttc DS2 that EWCM means you're ovulating (correct me if I am wrong) but I had that day 10ish of my cycle, then again day 14, I also had a 3 day period when I usually have a 6 day one.
I have left a cycle after the mc, but I assume this is still hormones.

Anyway I have been feeling totally pants and a hormonal wreck, spotty, sicky, headcahey and mood swinging all over the shop, again I assume left over hormones from the mc or really early af signs.

Anyway, (gosh I keep rambling) I am due on, on the 8th March (2 days before my birthday, bloody typical!) so I am playing the waiting game.
Anyone else waiting the 2ww and want to join me? :)

how's everyone doing? I'm 7dpo now and thoughts are starting to turn towards the test thats just sitting in the drawer waiting to be pee'd on... must...not...test!

and I agree, stupid female bodies.

Cookiesandcream06 · 05/03/2012 08:05

Stupid stupid female bodies. These hormones are bitches and like to play games with us I think. But then you never know. Just think that soon you will know either way, and the long 2ww will be over .. Till next month! Maybe do a 'posh' stick weds/thurs if no signs of AF ?

I am confused.
AF due Wed, normal for me to have a few cramps nowish then nothing until the day it come on, this has been gospel since forever.
I have had cramps, but also sore boobs then today, nothing. All tests are internet cheapies and are saying bfn, so I assume af is going to arrive but why change the signs god damn it!

Lol sorry. It's what becomes of becoming a crazy TTCer, I am trying to be better behaved, honest Blush I think I just got a bad AF pain, either that or some wind sorry TMI Grin xx

caspacutie · 04/03/2012 21:04

Cookie you are supposed to tell me its really bad, not encourage me lol xx

Cookiesandcream06 · 04/03/2012 20:59

Ha that's a good find.. I have a small supply of Internet cheapies that are cheap as chips for the crazy moments, and saving my FRs for when I genuinely believe i might get my BFP!!! I ordered them when I got my OPKs Grin thought i'd give them a go. I think I am obsessed with POAS now! X

caspacutie · 04/03/2012 20:16

I shouldnt really share this but asda have two tests for £1 at the minute :o

Cookiesandcream06 · 04/03/2012 20:14

Ha to be fair I think he's saving you from yourself, these things aren't cheap and the hormones get the better of you! Grin you don't want to become a serial POASer! Blush

caspacutie · 04/03/2012 20:12

I think i have worked it out so that I can test in 7 days with a first response.... that still wont stop the little stick from jumping into my hand on the way to the loo in the morning!!! Its not logical at all.

can you get implantation bleeding and cramps just two days after ov??

I know its not ALL in my head as ive been very distracted today but they didnt go away.... sounds silly i know.

bring back the days when u could get pregnant from kissing a boy!!!!

iloveminieggs · 04/03/2012 19:56

Caspacutie welcome! It's exciting/ nerve wracking isn't it? My AF is due in 6 days so I also have a bit of a wait. Bought some HPT yesterday but DH has hidden them from me Sad so I'll just have to wait!!

caspacutie · 04/03/2012 18:38

I would like to join this 2ww please :)

I am a complete newbie to this but have already peed on enough sticks, knowing that they will all be bfn as its way too early.

I got my smiley face on friday and have had spotting today.... along with pulling pains, back ache and fluttering.

I do accept its too soon to be feeling these things, isnt it? Xx

Cookiesandcream06 · 04/03/2012 18:29

Any updates ladies?

Cookiesandcream06 · 02/03/2012 14:03

This is my concern! Hormones can do funny things and knowing my luck it's just PMT and I'm reading too much into it all.

I keep having nasty pregnancy related dreams! Yes, that is how crazy I have gone! Maybe my craziness is early pmt and af is indeed on its way?

Cookiesandcream06 · 02/03/2012 13:19

Oh no you poor thing, so disheartening. I've had fatigue, funny pains but not like AF or OV ones, mood swings, mega emotional, head aches, feeling nauseous on and off throughout the day (v similar to first pg) .. Now completely normal! Must have been in my head crazy lady. I keep seeing bumps everywhere!!

TitsalinaBumSquash · 02/03/2012 13:05

Well I did have everything symptom wise...

Carpal tunnel come back
Migraines came back (both strong factors of my 2 past successful pgs)
I had mild nausea
Spots
mood swings
fatigue
Sore boobs

Now, nothing!

Cookiesandcream06 · 02/03/2012 12:40

What I thought could be symptoms have also disappeared. Meh. I have been exhausted but maybe that's just part n parcel of being a working mum with lack of sleep!?! I have no boobie tingles what so ever, feeling left out now ha! What else are we feeling ladies?!

iloveminieggs · 02/03/2012 09:52

Only symptom I have is feeling tired and I always need to wee! But I'm sure it's too early so just coincidence I'm sure

Quodlibet · 02/03/2012 09:37

Me too Titsalina - I had some strange nipple twinges (like electric shocks) the other day but they seem to have vanished. Ah well.

TitsalinaBumSquash · 02/03/2012 09:20

All my symptoms have gone :(
So I am not feeling hopeful today, silly I know, not out of the race until af arrives next week but meh, I'm really not feeling it today.
Boobs were quite sore yesterday but nothing at all today.
DS2 was up all night throwing up so I am being a real grump today, I think coffee is in order :D

ha cookies I so very nearly POAS today but I'm only 4dpo!! the sane half of me won that one.

symptoms.... crazy half of me had a shower this morning and was sure the little spots of lighter coloured skin on the ends of my nipples have multiplied!! could that be a symptom?!!

Cookiesandcream06 · 01/03/2012 20:35

So sorry to hear about everyone's MCs, i have been very fortunate not to have one so far in my life but i have two close friends who have. I need to pass this 2ww without completely losing my sanity so I would be happy to join if you'l have me?! I think my AF should be due around the 9th March, and yep, you guessed it, already POAS, just on that small off chance. Waste of time. Since when did I become a crazy woman?! Hmm

TitsalinaBumSquash · 01/03/2012 13:00

Symptoms? Pft! I have had them all! I am sure most of them are in my head though! :D
I have sore boobs on and off and my carpal tunnel has come back and I have had daily headaches and nausea, these are all likely to be me wishing too hard though, DP however is convinced I am pregnant again Hmm
Usually though, I don;t get anything until about 2 days before af then I start cramping and it gets steadily worse until the bleeding starts so I guess we will see in a week.
I have felt rotten for pretty much most this cycle though so who knows, could just be one of those weird cycles that does it's own thing.

dontcarehow, that was exactly my foiled plan! grrr. I'm self-employed usually so bizarrely my PhD was my only chance at paid maternity leave, even at a pitiful rate.

So who's got some symptoms to share? I got a bit of pink spotting yesterday (6dpo) but I do occasionally spot in my LP so not that unusual for me.

FF has put me on VIP trial so I can waste even more time analysing my chart.

Yep I'm wishing this week away too...
