Sorry the spottings got worse 2cats.

modern you could tell people you are doing the dry January thing. They might still think you are pregnant though.

Well still no spotting from me (12dpo). I have a short lp so af is due tomorrow. Really hope she stays away. I have had symptoms during the 2ww, the nausea has gone away but am very tired. Trying not to read too much into it as my body seems to make up symptoms.

MrsSpencerReid · 18/01/2013 17:10

AF due tomorrow (bites nails) I really don't think I'm preg but untill she arrives I'm desperately hoping!! Hmm to those of you she had already got

SeriousStuff · 18/01/2013 15:19

I'm a 2ww-er! No idea what my dpo is as have had what looked like EWCM on three separate (non-consecutive) days this month, today included! I have 10 days until AF is due. The wait is killing me and I'm now at the stage where I think anything happening in my body is a symptom!

twentythirteen · 18/01/2013 13:26

So are there ucrrent 2ww'ers? I'm 5 dpo. Last time I had clear signs by dpo 6 ish, each time was a different sign, but each unmistakable for its oddness. Who's symptom spotting now? Any hopefuls? I'll read back over the thread but have only just logged on.

2cats222 · 18/01/2013 13:25

ModernVicky - can you run with the antibiotics so not drinking excuse to buy you time? I think I'm out for this month - it's becoming more than spotting. Please keep me updated, will transfer my hoping onto you! At least now I can have a break from knicker checking, was starting to get worn out elastic from whipping them down so much Wink

modernvickyp · 18/01/2013 12:46

2cats222 - Meh indeed. Currently eating anything I can get my hands on in an attempt to make myself feel better (it isn't working) and deciding whether I should be drinking alcohol this weekend. It will definately be noticed by friends if I don't - who know we are trying and will therefore put two and two together and come up with triplets!

Maybe I'll test again in the morning!! As you can probably tell from my eating habits willpower is not something that is within my posession.

I gather that spotting can mean all sorts of things so until she is there in full flo you are still in with a shout! Fx.

Just off to the kitchen for another snack and after that might treat myself to another trip to the toilet.

2cats222 · 18/01/2013 12:29

ModernVicky - sensible advice is to wait 48 hours and PoAS but certain you know that! So I say just keep peeing, it's what ICs were made for! If it was me I would be peeing on at least 3 sticks a day! Appreciate this is terrible advice. FX for you tho, sounds promising - it's not over til the stupid witch cackles and all that! As for knicker checking - pah I just got more spotting so struggling to even convince myself I'm in with a chance. Plus hubby clearly now thinks I am up to something strange in the toilet and seems alarmed at the number of times I've headed in there today! Meh

modernvickyp · 18/01/2013 12:21

Babyrose - sorry that she got you today. I always spend this day looking at different ovulation calendars and lettimg OH know when he should be 'prepared'. He loves that not.

modernvickyp · 18/01/2013 12:18

Can I join? Would like to inform the world of official hacked-offness with knicker checking!

Ov'd around 31st December (didn't use sticks but have a very good idea after being at this a long time) and due to Christmas Holidays was actually able to DTD 3 times.

AF due Tue/Weds this week and as of half an hour ago no sign of AF. I am very regular within a day or so and am now slowly going out of my mind.

However, have peed on three sticks and go BFN each time. How the hell am I going to get through the weekend before testing again?! Have been having AF type pains on and off since Tuesday but no other symptoms. Bugger and damnation.

2cats222 · 18/01/2013 12:17

Babyrose - sorry for the f*%>|# b&q"/ turning up. Sure you don't feel it now but the bright side... You're on CD1 of a bright shiny new cycle with the possibility of a huge BFP at the end of it! Good luck!

2cats222 · 18/01/2013 12:15

Have had nothing since, back to watery CM. May still be in with a chance (tho doubt it!). Regards AF on honeymoon, I head home on Mon so will only be a couple of days... Could have been MUCH worse until my cycles decided to become a longer 35 days (potentially due to wedding stress)... At one point expected to come on on wedding day! Anyway here's to having no patience, FX for us all still waiting heads off to check knickers again

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 18/01/2013 11:34

Sorry 2cats and babyrose af is a bitch. Especially on your honeymoon.

No news here. I keep thinking that is a good sign but it doesn't actually mean anything other than af is due tomorrow. I will learn patience one day.

babyrose · 18/01/2013 11:11

Af arrived this morning :-(

2cats222 · 18/01/2013 09:11

TMI - some light brownish spotting when I wipe, looks like this is AF coming damnit

2cats222 · 18/01/2013 08:37

Ha ha, I'm obsessive but not enough for a 3am check (yet)! Currently 6 hours ahead of Uk on honeymoon. Good luck, fingers crossed for you too

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 18/01/2013 07:24

2cats oh you poor thing. Can't believe your knicker checking at 3am. I am only 12dpo today but I usually get af on 13dpo. So have had a bit of a knicker check too.

Fx for both of us.

2cats222 · 18/01/2013 03:23

Final day before AF is due for me... The waiting is awful! Praying it stays away, am currently running to the loo every 15 mins to check! FX for everyone

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 17/01/2013 23:50

Hi can I join in?

Sorry about af qazxc and huge congrats crack81

I am 11dpo and have been driving myself mad symptom spotting all week. I have been feeling nauseous but I have one of those annoying minds that makes up symptoms. This is kind of cycle 1, we were trying last year but had a break after 3 chemical pregnancies.

Best of luck everyone.

SeriousStuff · 17/01/2013 22:23

babyrose hang on in there - it's not over til AF arrives!

I still have 10 days before AF and over last 3 days, I'm very aware of my breasts - they seem swollen but not sore. Also today have had clear CM (not stretchy) and AF-type pains e.g. dull pain in lower back and cramps that don't last very long at all. Any ideas?!

babyrose · 17/01/2013 17:21

Got a bfn, af due today but hasn't started. Had cramps last nite and in my back so I thougt I would have started today fx it doesn't show!!

herethereandeverywhere · 17/01/2013 17:09

Hello, wondering if I can join? I'm not really officially on a 2ww in that we're not really officially ttc but I feel the need to share/ask opinions and didn't want a thread of my own! I already have 2 DDs, 3.2yrs and 10mths. DD1 took about 18mth to conceive and DD2 about 6 months so all of you who have been at it a while you have my sympathy. It's so hard not to get down every month there's a BFN.

Well, we'd sort of decided we'd like #3 at some point but haven't officially started TTC. We have DTD this month only once when I thought I might be ov though (never occurred I might get pg as conceiving the other 2 has been a palava of opks/timing/Deanna plan for multiple months. Anyway, I have a feeling i might be pg. Symptoms include: unusual pain in CS, nausea on and off, funny taste in mouth I keep thinking is blood (metallic?), tiredness, boobs hurting in a blocked duct way. I think I ovd a bit early this month so I could be about 15-16dpo and no af BUT I'm guessing ov so on usual cycle length af not due until Sunday.

I haven't got a pg test in the house so won't be able to get one until tomorrow and if I need fmu then won't test until Sat!!!

Sorry that's so long not even sure why I'm posting this Blush Good luck to the other TTCers on this thread!

qazxc · 17/01/2013 12:07

cacks81 So delighted for you.
AF came today so i'm out for this month Sad. maybe it is time to put my chavtastic plan into action, heads off to pick up two litre bottle of cider, alcopops, fags, hoop earrings, tracksuit, fake uggs and orange make up

Looking to join ladies... Currently 11dpo AF due on 19th so 3 days left to wait. Can't POAS as on honeymoon and don't have any Confused Have a bloated/hard abdomen and maybe a tiny amount of stretchy like pains this morn (which could also have been my imagination)! FX for everyone playing the waiting game

Cacks81 · 15/01/2013 18:47

Thanks SeriousStuff.

I'm really hoping for the best for everyone.

SeriousStuff · 15/01/2013 00:18

Cacks81 that's great news!! So many of my friends have had the same experience of conceiving when they've had a bit to drink!

I'm just starting my 2ww so hoping that this is a good sign of things to come!
