BFP 2013

Yes, I think so! Clear Blue digital says Pregnant 2-3 weeks! I can't believe it. I never thought I'd see that. That explains the early cramping and dragging feeling then.
I've got to figure out how to tell dp when he gets home at 5. He's going to be so excited.

Sounds like those tampons need to go to the back of the cupboard!

I think I've got two lines.
Just got back from hauling a load of shopping back from Tesco including a jumbo box of Tampons and decided to test.
Two lines. I don't trust it though its the cheapies. I need to get a clearblue digital.

It is exhausting sometimes. The worst 2ww are the ones like yours last cycle with just enough symptoms to get your hopes up. I'm having the same this week and its difficult because I can't be sure on the ovulation date. Last cycle AF was early so I got off lightly. We'll all get there in the end though.
Right, its time to distract myself and mentally prepare for AF.

Yes I know what you mean - I had spotting and was 4 days late last cycle and the first (!) test I did and got a bfn with was such a letdown - it's emotionally draining doing this but will keep my fx for you thingy!

Just a coincidence. I don't think cough syrups are supposed to give you colds. That would be a genius money maker though.
I'm driving myself crazy this 2ww. I'm going to crash so badly when AF appears tomorrow. I wish I was at work to take my mind off it all but I've got nothing to do. I can't wait until this waiting game is no longer a feature in my life.

Yes, that's probably a good idea.. Although I'm now trying to be realistic because I don't want to raise my hopes too much. DP is already reading too much into it even though AF is still two days away.

Thingy - fx the cramping is a good sign and not AF! Maybe I'll hold off sending you those OV sticks - you might not need them!

Well done to your OH for getting off the fags, Kerry!

Every other day is plenty. I sometimes wonder if dtd every day does more harm than good but we've tried every combination possible except dtd every single day of your cycle. No one can possibly enjoy dtd that much.
Woke up again with a heavy dragging feeling and expected to see AF but nothing yet. Tbh AF isn't really expected until tomorrow onwards. anyway so I have no idea why I'm cramping. My body is obviously having an off week.

Good luck with the 2ww ads and have fun in shag week kerry.

Thinking of you res. Take care of yourself. x
I'm totally with red on this one. I definitely think your BFP is just around the corner winkle.
I'm cramping really badly already and AF is supposed to be a couple of days away. Not sure why its so bad this cycle but I'm sure a hot bath will sort it out.
I'm glad I've stopped putting my life on hold. Pretty sure TTC will take us years if it happens at all so I need to get on with things. DP is in a bit more of a hurry though and has planned out SMEP for at least another 3 months. I might need that preseed afterall.

Sending you lots of love resipsa.

Good-luck winkle keep believing it will happen for you. Not long till you see those two lines. It IS your time.

Keeping everything crossed for all of you to join the other thread soon.

res you have been through so much....AF arriving every month was heartbreakingly depressing but I can't even begin to imagine what you must be going through. Take some time off work and be kind to yourself x

Thx ad that's a good way to look at it!

Right, scan booked for next Tuesday. Have officially stepped off the TTC rollercoaster and on to the IVF one.

winkle I understand - I hope that means you'll be all the more surprised and excited when it goes well!

Oh res I'm so sorry you feel so awful - have you seen the GP? X

Res have you decided whether or not to go for ivf again?

Ad - I know I sound like the voice of doom and gloom and I know I should be positive but I just don't feel it! Perhaps that's because I'm so used to being disappointed every month. I just feel like this is another thing that isn't going to work.

Res - I really feel your pain. I understand the gut wrenching feeling and the sadness. Massive hugs to you. I hope you sort it out with your OH soon. Have you been to the docs?

winkle good to have a plan. Good luck. TBH, it's a relief not to have to DTD at the right time in the month you do IVF. Someone else monitors it all for you!

Still on the edge here. Relationship with DH has hit rock bottom. Hoping it's temporary.

Colleague's girlfriend had DC1 on Monday and saw friend at nursery pick up yesterday who was showing off 1 week old DC2. I cried when I saw her little DD gazing with love at baby sister. They all laughed at me (in a nice way) but have no idea how gut wrenching it was.

Good luck to all for this month. On CD9 but can't really see the point anymore.

Wow winkle that is so soon! It's kind of exciting though? I do think its good that you can be proactive in a different way now - it's so hard going through the same thing each month...
Massive fx for you! X

Cd28, red when I wipe, she'll be here soon.

Sigh!

At least I can get my IVF started now I suppose. First stage is calling the clinic tomorrow and booking in a scan to check the position of my ovaries so they can get the eggs out easily when the time comes. Need to have that done between cd2-8. Yes that's right, they can do it when you're on your period! Gross!

Cd15 here... I hate the 2ww!!

Good luck for all those on shag week or in the dreaded 2ww
