Least we are all in good company.

I don't think I could do this TTC thing without being able to vent my crazy in this forum!

I really want to POAS but I dont have any in the house. No real reason for it just took the notion and now that's all I can think about

I had ovulation spotting on Monday and 2day I've been getting a lot of cramps, cud just b wishful thinking but it might b implantation right? I felt the same with ds 2 but can't remember if it was this soon! Am I about 2 ride the 2ww crazy bus here or what? Forgot how quickly TTC can turn u insane, lol

I think, coffee, that in theory it is possible to have a period without having ovulated. But this is rare and it is much more likely that you did ovulate. If you want to know for sure you could always try OPKs, but I wouldn't worry! It's great that your first cycle was pretty much textbook lengthwise, saves you waiting for AF for ages which I hope I won't have to.

1Catherine1 · 01/06/2013 20:59

Aww, Coffee, at least you are on a real cycle now! And I'm sure someone somewhere recommends 1 normal cycle before ttc :) Silver lining and all...

I'm driving myself crazy here, CD29 - no AF, no period symptoms or any of the symptoms I went through with DD, I feel totally normal. Got a BFN on this mornings test - I know I said I wouldn't do it until Sunday but we all knew I would cave. Now I'm out of tests and will have to wait till Tuesday morning.

Coffee1Sugar · 01/06/2013 20:11

Thanks blue. Presumably as im bleeding it means I am actually ovulating? Nervous about my cycle over the next few months havin been on hormonal contraceptives for nine yeas

blueamber · 01/06/2013 15:26

Ah coffee that's crap. It's good in a way that now you know definitely where you are in your cycle, should make it easier ttc.

I'm on cd28 after the first day of the withdrawal bleed. I though AF was coming because I felt crampy for the last two days, but it has stopped today. Don't know whether to wait for a few days for AF or test. I'm scared of being too disappointed by a BFN, but I just want to know where I'm at!

Fantasic it might still be very early to test?

P.s pretty deflated today after doing POAS this morning - negative again. Argh! Why is my body tricking me with all these bloody symptoms for nothing?! I bloody hate TTC and its only the 2nd cycle!

TheFantasticFixit · 01/06/2013 14:57

Oh Coffee - what a bloody bummer. (Literally!) I would definitely start taking it as a good sign though, hope AF isn't too cruel this month!

Coffee1Sugar · 01/06/2013 14:08

Af is here Sad I don't know if it's day 25 or 28 as its the first month off the pill. I hope this at least means I'm ovulating??

DisneyDiva87 · 01/06/2013 11:22

I did I pg test to put myself out of my misery and it was negative which is what I expected despite my crazy!

Did another ov test this morning and it was a slightly stronger positive so am thinking my cycle is maybe about a week longer than expected and I've only ovulated now. Will have to get on with the DTD just in case.

Thank you for not judging me in my craziness Grin

TheFantasticFixit · 31/05/2013 23:28

@mrsjk YES! Exact same thing. Had it for last 3 days!

I didn't know about the super drug tests.... Until now, that is. The own brand you say?! Wink

Coffee - wahey that's will power for you < must get myself back to SD for more!>

Disney - not to encourage u in the slightly but with DC1 I was using CBFM and couldn't fathom why I was getting HI readings everyday < I thought machine was faulty!> turns out it really was a BFP!!

Lots of luck Wink

DisneyDiva87 · 31/05/2013 16:26

I'm having a mad moment. I came home from work and thought I'd try an ovulation test even though I'm CD20, it came up as a faint positive although I'm pretty sure I ovd last week cause I had EWCM whereas at the minute I don't have much CM and it's more sticky than anything else. I know that ov tests can give a positive when pregnant as well as ov so now I'm driving myself crazy but I'm too scared to take a pg test since af isn't even due till next sun!

Someone slap some sense into me. Why did I think taking an ov test would be a good idea?

Coffee1Sugar · 31/05/2013 15:51

Today's Nutjob episode - I bought two double packs of superdrug tests (they're on offer btw!). But I've locked them in my boot so I can't get to them before Monday. I've also hidden my car keys even though I know exactly where they are

MrsJK · 31/05/2013 12:53

Ahhh ladies I've missed so much!!

Ok so I caved yesterday too HmmBFN as predicated no idea why I even bothered wasting a test!!

Planning not to buy any more until Monday to avoid temptation!!

Hate hate hate this wait ESP as I have every symptom going!! Had anyone else got really tender ovary type area? I've had it since I OV - wouldn't describe it as pain just rather uncomfortable?

Here's to a sunny weekend of distractions!! X

bouncingbelle · 31/05/2013 12:14

Can I join in? Ttc #1, day 26 of cycle, had a crazy high progesterone level on day 22 apparently, symptom spotting like a demon (even tho I got a bfn yesterday). Raging at myself for getting my hopes up but I can't help it!! Trying to hold off till monday before testing again.
