Woody and nic, I had those type pains in 2ww too, kept posting on here that I felt like AF would be imminent and that I was worried about the length of my luteal phase, fx very tightly for you both x

letskiwithisthing · 08/10/2012 08:16

Morning all :)

How many DPO are you now nic? Only 1 more day left in work now isn't it? DH and I have a day off today which will be nice!

woody17 · 08/10/2012 08:15

I'm sorry that it is af tal It sounds like you've got lots planned and to look forward to over the next 2 cycles before you're back to ttc. I think it's really thoughtful of you to have this break for your sister.

nic I'm also feeling sick all the time - from when I get up, to when I go to sleep...apart from when I eat! Got twinges in my lower abdomen and weird stitch-like pains on my side. I know it'll be my body tricking me but it's hard not to get your hopes up!

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 08/10/2012 06:31

So...this morning I'm close to puking (not sure if it's my cold though) with stabbing pain / cramp / fluttering in my right ovary and uterus region.

No way am I going to not test before the wedding, ha ha! Even though it's no doubt my body just testing / tricking me.

I'm sorry, Tal :-( Keeping charting is a good plan though. Useful to know what your body is up to.

Are our bodies always awkward and we don't notice, or are they cruel when we are TTC?

I guess the one thing about it not working and having a break is I won't have the stress of wondering if I am, and having to test and things. Will be back on the ibuprofen for these cramps now and have been happily drinking red wine (it's got to the Definitely A Period stage of bleeding now). Though will keep charting as I always do and maybe see if WTF cycles continue when not actually TTC, over the the next two cycles. It's all useful information I guess. And I might get ovulation stick things for December.

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 07/10/2012 19:19

Your DH sounds lovely, Raspberries. :-)

Not much now...collecting stuff mainly. And doing a cd for our breakfast background music. Barely anything.

Can't wait!

lol I'm really confused - got a smiley on Monday but then ewcm today (only a little bit though)! So I feel like I have no idea about what's going on. Hope you get your smiley soon!

raspberries if you don't get any more bleeding, I would try testing again in a few days. Some people don't get a +ve until they are 5 weeks (according to what I've read on the internet anyway!) Glad DH is being supportive. I explained to mine about ov sticks this week and he now wants to know when I get smiley so we can dtd everyday around that time. I agree - fed up of the wtf cycles.

Nic this time next week you'll be married!

RaspberrysAndIcecream · 07/10/2012 19:09

And not ANSI

RaspberrysAndIcecream · 07/10/2012 19:08

Dh has been fab - coz monitor didn't pick up a peak (or I didn't peak) he's come home with a pack of cb smiley sticks!!! He was just as dissaponted as me and said "we're gonna get that egg!!!" I'm actually feeling ok about it, I'm very lucky to have such a supportive dh ANSI have to remind myself we've only been trying since june.

So here's to some bfp's Thanks and bog off to the WTF Angry cycles!! Grin

Nit long till the wedding now Nic exciting!!!!! Have u anything left to do?

Lolcbcblemonlime · 07/10/2012 17:48

Hi girls
Sorry you out raspberry!! It sucks to be in limbo then get af.
Woody I don't think I've ov yet as no cm. been doing opk since cd11 and so far nothing. But I have long cycles so not expecting till later in week.
Oh nic T minus 6 days!

Thundercatsarego · 07/10/2012 17:48

Damnit rasp! Bloody annoying. Get yourself a Wine immediately!

letskiwithisthing · 07/10/2012 17:47

Sorry to hear that tal and rasp, fx for you both next time! :)

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 07/10/2012 17:33

I think Dulcet, then me, Raspberries. Sorry it was negative :-(

Seems that WTF cycles love popping up when we are TTC.

Sorry to you Tal too.

OP posts:
RaspberrysAndIcecream · 07/10/2012 17:26

Thundercats - crossed post!!!

If it had been, it would have been day 34, wasn't meant to be this time.

RaspberrysAndIcecream · 07/10/2012 17:24

Sorry Tal. It's dissapointing, hope you're doing ok.

I gave in to my nagging thoughts & poas - got a negative, so it must just have been a light period. Bugger!! 2 min wait of getting my hopes up -dam it!!

So BFP due end of Oct!!! Smile fx!!!

Who's next to poas?!!

Thundercatsarego · 07/10/2012 16:41

Sorry tal.

Do it, raspberries! Are we now after af was due?

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 07/10/2012 16:19

That does sound interesting, Raspberries, I'd definitely be testing tomorrow.

OP posts:
DulcetMoans · 07/10/2012 15:44

Oh tal, I am so sorry. I hope it stops!!

Could be worth another test raspberry, it's its properly stopped. Maybe try in the morning?

woody17 · 07/10/2012 15:35

Sorry tal

woody17 · 07/10/2012 15:34

Yes I've had that raspberries I then tested again and got a positive.

I would say poas!

RaspberrysAndIcecream · 07/10/2012 15:25

I'm not 100% sure that I had AF Confused ????

Less than 24hrs bleeding & - sorry if tmi - but no red blood, only brownish blood. Not heavy, quite light & nothing like a "normal" AF.

Anymore had any experience like that? It's really confused me. and I'm trying not to convince myself that I should go poas

And I'm really emotional!!!!

TalTangerine · 07/10/2012 15:22

Bleeding become a bit more conclusive now. Looks like I'm out for this cycle, starting again December :(

DulcetMoans · 07/10/2012 15:18

Yeah, I will stick around too nic, see whats going on. Need to keep up with the comings and goings so I am not a newbie again in the new year!

Thanks for the break down lets, very comprehensive!

woody17 · 07/10/2012 14:03

Tal that sounds really confusing. I really hope that it's implantation etc and that you get a BFP soon. I think that a list is a really good idea. I might do one for myself later.

Well, after the ewcm this morning, we dtd! So confused though about what's happening! Nic I think I'm going to test on Thursday morning before we go to airport - if I did ov around the time of the smiley, then I'll be about 11dpo. If it's a BFN, then I'll test again when I get home. If af doesn't arrive then I'll assume that I'm ov around now!

Nic I really hope you get a BFP for your wedding day!

Thanks for the list of symptoms lets - I'm having quite a few of those but then the ewcm this morning has totally thrown me!
