Right I have made a Lemon Drizzle Cake today... any takers?!

TakingTheStairs · 26/09/2012 09:03

Good morning jellycurls and everyone else.
I thought it was Friday when I was woke up this morning, I was very disappointed when I realised that it was only Wednesday.
Trying not to think about the 2ww, 3dpo today. No symptoms either.
My friend pointed this site out to me yesterday. The calculator gives a bit more of a breakdown as to what days you should start to see symptoms, what your date of implantation is likely to be etc. I found it helpful, so I thought you guys might too.

Welcome to the bus pocopearl. Sorry to hear a BFP is unlikely in Sept for you, but I have my fingers crossed for you for October.

stickybeans why the sad face? Is everything okay?

Good morning ladies, hope you are all well this morning. This 2ww is dragging in (7 dpo today) made worse by the most annoying cough in the world. Least its taking my mind off my lack of symptoms to spot

stickybeans · 25/09/2012 22:29

woody17 · 25/09/2012 19:58

waves and smiles they do sound a lot like pg symptoms but I know how easy it is to symptom spot! FX you get a BFP soon.

shineypeacock your symptoms sounds very promising as well.

violetcherry from what I understand it's good to try and dtd as often as you can around the time of ov.

FX for you hanikam

Well I am on CD3 and the bleeding from mc has nearly stopped so hopefully we will be about to ttc again soon.

LittleMissSnowShine · 25/09/2012 19:04

tooty fruities...nom!! good energy food for everyone still on the shagathon express line ;)

PurpleGeekyGirl · 25/09/2012 18:03

hanikam I am 38 too (ttc %232 after 10 year gap with new partner)

ella0 · 25/09/2012 17:32

Ooh, do tooty fruities still exist? I haven't had them since I was a child!

I'm still getting weird cramp type feelings on and off. They now feel like a burning feeling (not painful though). I might be imagining them though!

Hanikam · 25/09/2012 17:31

Just come off the pill after 6 years following birth of my second ds. I'm 38 now so maybe a little bit old to hope for a BFP first month off! Oh well, feeling v nauseous and have a strong aversion to peanut butter....so maybe, just maybe. (fingers crossed...and legs open!)

LittleMissSnowShine · 25/09/2012 16:08

hello all!

liking the sound of all these symptoms!! I only ever have sore boobs when I'm pg, so, fwiw, I'd count that as a major BFP alert Grin

I'm on roughly CD14 here. Pre-mc my cycles were around 33 days long, and I ov around CD19/20/21. Not sure whether I'll be back in same pattern now since my last wtf cycle was hardly anything to go by. Anyway though we've been dtd at least eod this cycle, I'm taking all my vits and folic acid and apart from a bit of a coldy/virusy kind of thing that's draining me this week I'm feeling pretty good and someone even told me today I'd lost weight lol Bit random! Anyway due to long wtf cycles the shagathon that has been going on for the last week has to continue for at least another week to make sure I don't miss ov. And then another week after THAT until I can test. Wahhh! I hate long cycles!! Really got fx for this cycle, tho, I'd love to be due next summer....

littlepinkfizz · 25/09/2012 13:45

violet my symptoms are the cramping- intermittent , tender boobs, and don't know if it is ECM but it is certainly wet .
Planning on Dtd few times between now and w/end. Have still though had no dark li e on opk..

shineypeacock · 25/09/2012 13:31

Taking

I think im 6/7 DPO AF is due early Wed (normally very regular!).

I was feeling ok until about Thurs/Friday and then became a moody, irratable biatch! then all of the other symptoms started, however they could just be PMT! So trying not to get my hopes up too much, just feel different iykwim!

FX for some symptoms coming your way soon, am not sure if mine are symptoms or I am seeing them as symptoms, Kinda ducked out of the game last month due to not DTD around the right time, but this time we did - lots Grin and im not sure if its all in my head!!

xx

VioletCherry · 25/09/2012 13:12

Thanks, Taking your non medical opinion is very welcome Smile
I don't want to count myself out of Oct before we had even finished Sept!

TakingTheStairs · 25/09/2012 12:43

far too* early.

OP posts:
TakingTheStairs · 25/09/2012 12:43

shiney, wow you have lots of symptoms! Fingers crossed for a BFP.
How many dpo are you if you don't mind me asking?

I'm on day 3 of the 2ww and I've no symptoms at all :(
I had loads over the weekend when I got my smiley on the opk. Huge emotional mood swings, nipples very obviously changed colour and size, and cramps in my lower abdomen. So I am 100% sure that ovulation happened.
...
God I really hope things take hold. I guess it just is far to early to be getting any symptoms but I live in hope!

violet I would think (in my non medical opinion) that you ovulated when you had the ewcm, not necessarily when you had the cramps. I know I ovulated on Saturday, but I had cramps up to last night too.
And the swimmers can live for days, so fx everything is as it should be.

OP posts:
shineypeacock · 25/09/2012 12:29

Arrggghhhhh!!!! 8 days to go until AF is due and it's driving me crazy! Been symptom spotting like mad,

  1. Am completely knackered, has 9 hours kip last night and could go to sleep right now!
  2. Sore boobage - DH gave me a cuddle this am and it hurt!!
  3. Starving - (but this is not unusual tbh!!)
  4. the thought of Lager makes me want to hurl (and this IS VERY odd)
  5. Weird feelings in my lower right hand side not really pains JUST WEIRD FEELINGS

However, dont need to pee too much ( but bit of a camel) and dont feel sick (well a bit but have just scoffed a big bag of minstrals) and no discharge (sorry TMI)

Tried to talk to DH about this, but he says helpfully - nothings definate until the test says so!!! (pisses me off too!)

  1. Add slightly irratable and emotional (and have been since Friday to this list!)

Please tell me I am not the only one! and help me get through to at least Monday before i POAS!

VioletCherry · 25/09/2012 11:44

littlepinkfizz I had similar feeling a few days ago. Would you plan to DTD before, during or after the crampy feeling? or just all of the above!!!

VioletCherry · 25/09/2012 11:27

Sorry, MIA for the last few days!
I think we are just about pass our conception window this month, lots of DTD so hoping for a good result soon.
I was feeling quite bloated and crampy for a few hours last friday evening CD19 (31day cycle) and have now come to the conclusion that this was probably ovulation cramps. Does anyone else experience these?
I paid little attention to them at the time as I didn't realise that they might be anything to do with my cycle. I just started keeping a bit of a note of any possible cramps/twinges last month and this matched up with same feeling last CD19. We DTD CD18 but not over the weekend as we were staying at a friends and I thought ovulation had occurred earlier in the week due to EWCM. Does anyone think that this month might be a right off and we should have DTD on and after crampy evening?
Don't worry any of your thoughts appreciated....

littlepinkfizz · 25/09/2012 11:21

Oh getting little crampy pains on and off today .

Could that be me getting ready to ovulate?

Please, please, please...

littlepinkfizz · 25/09/2012 11:16

little probably too soon as the others (while busy scoffing their jelly tots) have said. Fx for testing next week!

Cd 12 toady but still only a faint line. However, romance out the window and we are planning to DTD tonight. Que sera ,sera! (breaks into song a la Vera Lynn!)

Grin at purple and her pathetic ex!

Good morning to everyone and their jelly tots..

wavesandsmiles · 25/09/2012 10:42

Grrrs at the pathologically incapable fathers..... My 2 haven't seen their real dad for aproaching 4 years, and we haven't had maintenance for a long time before that. We don't even know where he lives. Fortunately, DH adores them, and treats them as his own, as do the rest of his family.

I feel utterly pants today - threw up this morning (several times) and am not enjoying my Brew . There is a stomach bug doing the rounds, so i think it must be that. Although DH kept giving me "knowing winks" as I threw up into the toilet. Lovely. Far too soon to test - I had my coil out 6 September (never had a single visit from AF the whole time that was in), and kind of had AF on the 9th (but it only lasted a day), so I was thinking 9 October would be the very earliest I can test. (That is also the day we are actually moving house!)

TakingTheStairs · 25/09/2012 10:26

You guys have me craving jelly tots now Smile

littlehelp Fx for next wk, I'm sure the BFN was just because you were testing so early.
