The dreaded 2 week wait begins again!

So here I am beginning the 2 week wait after MC the last 2 cycles. Lets hope it's 3rd time lucky for me! Anyone else about to start the count down ?

Hi frogchops, coming off the pill is 'all bets are off' territory - it can take a while to settle back down to reality, several months in many cases.

Plus, the withdrawal bleed isn't traditionally seen as a proper period (because the body hasn't ovulated so therefore it can't be, I guess).

I get a very sharp, specific cramp when I ovulate, so it could be that I guess, but honestly, it just sounds like your body's working itself out again. My first few cycles after the pill were all over the shop. They sorted out after about 3-4 months for me, but everyone's different.

No clue about cm though, I'll have to refer you to the TTC experts!

frogchops · 05/11/2012 17:59

Anyone know what's going on..or a guess...
Having come off the pill and assuming tht I'd have a normal 28 day cycle, I Dtd like crazy around cd14...I'm on cd16 now and cramping reeeeally bad. However the cm has gone (but it was stringy and white on cd14)
Basically I duno know whether ov was cd14 ish due to cm signs, or today due to cramping signs. Can u get cramping after ovulation?? Can't be implantation surely this early??

babyjamesblackberrycrumble · 05/11/2012 17:12

I second what Happylass said. Probably just too early and those hormones wouldn't show yet either way. I am sooo tempted to test but after MC last 2 cycles I am also very scared. Hi there Padster welcome and good luck.

Sorry to hear about the BFNs but like Brave says its probably too early. Fx for lots of BFPs in the next week Grin

littlepinkfizz · 05/11/2012 12:50

Stupidly tested myself at 10 days PO and not e run with fmu...BFN ? Really disappointed though. Know how you are feeling baker

BraveLilBear · 05/11/2012 12:31

Sorry to hear that Baker but probably still too early - I think it has a low accuracy 4 days before AF due, which gets higher every day until AF due.

My inner jury is still out on CBCI - used them last time but wasn't sure. Liked the black and white results though.

bakerbakerfairycaker · 05/11/2012 12:18

BFN

Shop all out of frer, so got a clearblue with conception indicator. It took sodding ages to decide. I dont like em.

AF due on sat/sun so I'll just have to wait it out.

Bollocks.

padster75 · 05/11/2012 11:09

Hello,
Very new to all this, nothing like this was around when I had DS (15). Now on 2nd DH, TTC #2, 15DPO, POAS errrrr well AF due today and so far she is a no show.

Had cramping all last week, some really sharp stabby efforts on Wednesday (have no idea how many DPO it was, I think about 10).

We shall see. GL everyone and please bare with me while I get to grips with all of this, not even sure I have posted in the right place Confused

bakerbakerfairycaker · 05/11/2012 10:49

I've only just woken up, couldn't sleep last night.

Off to the shop, god I'm dying for a wee now.

BraveLilBear · 05/11/2012 10:23

Baker you never can tell - like BabyJames says, crampy can be our friend!

Think I will just have to lurk and cheer you guys on from afar... My hormones must have been jiggered post early mc. I ovulated last night. Mittelschmerz.

So I won't be testing til the 19th now. Grrr.

Fx for some BFP action soon for everyone else though!

llamaface · 05/11/2012 08:20

Any news baker? fx

bakerbakerfairycaker · 04/11/2012 22:09

I'm going to test again tomorrow with FMU, is frer really the best? i used a tesco own brand today.

happylass · 04/11/2012 20:50

Keeping everything crossed for you baker!

EchoDragon · 04/11/2012 19:50

Twas only a cheapie tho. Got another 50 as well. Just in case!

babyjamesblackberrycrumble · 04/11/2012 18:23

Ok, I used found a used stick from last cycle in my draw (rank I know but it was still in its pouch) I remember the bathroom being cold so I legged it back to the bedroom before reading it.

When I compare the two todays definitely has a line.

Stick baby. Stick Stick Stick!

bakerbakerfairycaker · 04/11/2012 17:37

Meh, so cramping got the better of me and I peed on the second stick in the pack, I was going to wait until wednesday at the earliest.

I swear I can see a line when you tilt it to the light correctly, well more like a shadow.

Probably just wishful thinking, evap or something but.... oh please let it be!

llamaface · 04/11/2012 15:45

Thanks ladies!

Know exactly whar you mean with confusing symptoms baker. Why oh why do early pregnancy symptoms have to be the same as pms?! My breasts are sooo tender & depending on my (wildly erratic) mood this means either i'm def pregnant or af is definitely on the way.

Fx for us all!

bakerbakerfairycaker · 04/11/2012 13:59

I hope so but not getting my hopes up, cramps seem worse today. I got some at 5dpo but it went away and now at 9 and 10 dpo i'm really crampy.

Oh and I cried at some lady who lost her house to Sandy and said it was nothing after loosing her grandson last year, she managed to find hid pictures in the rubble.

I don't cry at strangers misfortune, I have ASD and can't cry at the misfortune of people I care about most of the time. (I cried at a cancer advert with the woman in a wedding dress wanting her mum about 10 years ago - reason never found, lol)

Crossing EVERYTHING right now (expect the legs, thats counter-productive).

Baker crampy could be good!

bakerbakerfairycaker · 04/11/2012 12:28
