Pull up a chair for the 2ww...

Great news, congratulations longtailed !!

Congratulations Longtail!!!!! How exciting!!!!!!!

Thanks m'dears! :)

I did another test at 11o'c just cos I do like to be belt and braces about things - the Superdrug cheapy (£3.99 for 2) came back with a much much stronger line, proper dark pink. That's only three hours between pees, and I'd only had two sips of tea and porridge, so basically the same bladder contents.
I had read on here that Superdrug ones were more sensitive - I'd def recommend them. The Boots one was a v v faint line, ie you couldn't see it from a distance, only when holding it.

I'm only 4/5 dpo and I wish it would hurry up! Got a raised temperature today and feeling sick but it's too early for symptoms so don't know what it could be. Driving me mad!

Congrats Longtail! I am now progressing from spotting to a really light period, I'm not due for another 9 days but am bloated, have a few cramps and am bleeding enough to need a tampon. Sorry if it's TMI but yesterday morning it was really watery and then turned brownish. My nipples have been really sensitive for the past two days and I've had heartburn with every meal. Symptom spotting like crazy!!! Oh well only 5/6 days to wait now!

Sorry diary!

I know wispa worst thing is I have my dairy from dd1 who is 10 and its almost identical symptoms so its even worse at getting my hopes up!

Elr, pms and early pregnancy symptoms are so similar, it's too hard to tell a lot of the time (this wisdom gleaned from google last night, haha), symptom spotting is the worst kind of hope, as you could just be hyper sensitive to your pms symptoms and thinking they're pg symptoms.

Congrats longtail!
Not sure what's happening with me maybe the tiny amount of pinkish blood yesterday was AF on the way! I woke up this morning about 4am with a vice like headache and increased temp which is what usually happens the day I start af but not due for another 5 days so really don't know!
How is everyone else doing?

!!Symptom spotter alert!!!

I have swollen gums

BFP due in T-minus 6-8 days lol

Thank you ladies! :)
I feel a bit daft - protoDC2 is a one hit wonder, tho clearly ClearBlue's OPK got my ovulation date spot on!

Congrats, longtail! My 2ww is coming to an end in a couple days, but definitely not feeling it (not that I really know what it should feel like).

Congratulations!!! :)

Ahhh congrats longtail

Morning all!
I have peed on my lovely Boots own brand test and have a BFP! Am grinning like a nutter.
A faint line, but we're both sure it's a line.

Thank you for keeping me company, now I just have to figure out which bus to hop on!
Good luck everyone, hope you all get your BFPs sooner rather than later.

Sounds lovely Nalanoo. He (f.w.b) took me for an all you can eat tonight and he bought me a dress bag and shoes. I don't know where that came from but I'm not complaining and when we got home(about 7.00) we had a few hours of doing T.D, so I've also had a brilliant day. xxx
Also Layla seeing as you never had a glass of wine for me , it's lucky I had one for myself. (L.O.L) If I'm exclude I just include my self. Although you may not have seen my name on the thread so that's fine. Also Happy birthday for this week xxxx
Hope everyone else is okay. I'm now on my 1 ww. xxx

I've been out for a rare steak and 2 very large red wines! Yummy!!! It's the weekend and I have 2 parties so yay! Emjoy it everyone x

ELR that sounds so promising.... fingers crossed.... i'll check in after bank hol to see how you all are doing ....xxxx

layla thanks for having a wine for me, and good luck with all your tests. I've got two children already youngest is nearly 8 so the gap will be bigger this time and I'm 11 years older!
I've had light cramps on and off since yesterday and think I detected a little pinkish blood when I went to the loo earlier but not sure. I am not due on for another 5 days or so, could be an implantation bleed but prob not! I had light spotting for about 4 days in June and then came on as normal wasn't ttc then so not getting my hopes up.

Yep,I'll be testing at the end of next week :) No children already for me, which adds to the worry but am sure it'll be fine. Chin chin!!

VJONES... you're first time trying is only very early so i'm glad you are more chilled... it does happen though ...some people and hopefully you are one who...wham bam it works like magic straight away... did i ask you if you have a child already?? do any of you?? ... thats a great indication that you're in working order...my pal whos my age had unprotected sex ALL THE TIME as a late teen and early 20's (most fertile time) and never got preggers... think it depends on each person... everyone else except one has been fine , may have taken a few months or over a year but they all got there. i had a booklet come through from the lwc in harley street on IVF, IUI and ICSI ...didn't realise there was so many things!!! ... to get a lot of the preliminary tests just to see if everything works and what your ovarian reserve is not that expensive and can be done in a matter of a couple of weeks...i've been waiting 8 months on nhs - where they lost my tests 3 times and they can only do the basic ones, i'd need a referral and a waiting list for the rest... what a waste of time... to be honest,,,if i had a million squid i'd pay it now to know everything is ok , so after i get these basics back from nhs next week im booking a consultation at the lwc in london... will lt you know how it [email protected] , they put you on their mailing list and and you magazines with success stories and ALL the info you need to know about EVERYTHING!!!!................................... anyway NULANOO...implant pains are normally middle of stomach not to one side -like you said below belly button.....oooohhhh fingers crossed for you!!!!...i've been hungry too today i ate , x 5 today - well 5 krispy kreme...what a fatty!!!!.......anyway it was my birthday this week when i felt like crap so i'm off out for a or ... i shall have one for you all...REFOCA, TEA1SUGAR, NULANOO, WISPAXMAS, ELR, BUSHPRINCESS and not forgetting my ol' VJONESY!, ...... have a smashing bankhol weekend... ..next week will be testing time ..towards the end of the week so hope you all take your minds off it amd enjoy yourself...all this stress you deserve it!!!! bighugs and baby dust to you all. xxxxxxxxxx , ,.

Nulanoo - I've been eating like a pig since stopping the pill, too! And I'm the same regarding dpo - I had three days of ewcm so could be three, four or five dpo!

Actually I spoke too soon I'm now ravenously hungry! Might go out for tea :)

Hi everyone! Bit more chilled today. The way I'm dealing with it is by telling myself it's not gonna be my month this month!

Also, this is the first day since coming off the pill (3/4 dpo) that I feel 'normal'. Obviously a good thing but also means I don't 'feel' pregnant :(

In other news, I went shopping today and bought a woollen shawl thing, a dress, a bra and, err, a chocolate cake!
