Anyone care to join me for this interminable length of waiting time?! I'm only 1 dpo! Brew

We've had 5 go on maternity leave in the space of 4 months. Really makes me green eyed tbh. Nah I've never had ovulation pains/symptoms before or ever taken notice of my cm Blush. Dd was conceived on the pill and I remained symptomless for 7 weeks!

Agreed! Can't wait for the summer, if I am pg, then I can get through initial few weeks without beady eyes in the staff room and playground. IF. That's a big if. Boobs are still bloody sore as if I'm about to get AF, but it's waaaaaay too early for that, and I've never had boob-ish ov symptoms before (never really get ov syptoms, but never bothered looking before!). Have had occasional twinge on right side in that area, thought a little blast-thing might be burrowing in. BURROW!

Ha! I'm a teacher too, year 5. Roll on next wednesday!

sounds! Not wounds! Oh god I teach English!

KittyCatKittyCat · 15/07/2013 19:04

Ooh Tea1, unless you have a history of randomly retching that wounds pretty good! I've been hoping for the tiniest bit of nausea as a sign, knowing full well the minute I get it I'll regret that wish... fingers crossed.

Tea1Sugar · 15/07/2013 18:58

Blimey dp would ache if we dtd that much! We only managed cd 6,7,9,11,12 with the positive opk day 12 too. Today is cd22. I have one aching boob, threw up nothing but burning acid this morning it scared me tbh and lost my appetite. Doubtful but will poas on Thursday Smile

Hello ladies!
Thanks for the reply, I thought it could be a later ovulation or early implantation, so hard to know! I'll update this month's activity with more details... then if I get a BFP it might be useful to another dodgy-cycle-symptom-spotter!
Cd 1-5 AF

cd 6,9,12,13,14 + 17,18 DTD

cd 19, 20, 21 Away on business, but got mild AF cramps in the night on 20 and 21.

cd 22 DTD and started getting mild achey boobs, like AF due but not as sore, v.mild.
cd 23 boobs still tiniest bit tender when I move them about. Did a OPK and it had NOTHING on it, no suggestion of a surge.
cd 24 DTD and sore boobs still!

The only other info might be a bit tmi. Due to DTD'ing a lot, and using conceive plus I got a wee bit of thrush, which I think made me miss the EWCM. There was a point in the shower I had a clean and thought... ehhh? What is this?! It was a weird mix of EWCM and the thrush-esque CM... was a weird combo and I do remember thinking it was like a horrid combo of both. DTD regardless... had to keep going! (Grim). That was cd14 I think. I have had no sign of EWCM since.

Good luck ladies! I'll be testing with internet cheapies when they arrive on Friday!

Tea1Sugar · 15/07/2013 18:05

Love all the teas on this thread. We're uber cool Grin

TeaAndANatter · 15/07/2013 16:41

Ugh - still no AF yet, but temps dropped to near my baseline. Get on with it body, this woman's ready for the next cycle!

EnglishBreakfastTea · 15/07/2013 11:27

Hi Tea1sugar, [wave!] I think I'm going to try and wait until at least Friday morning although my sensible side knows that will prob be BFN as AF isn't due until Sun - never done it before though so I'm a bit excited! You must let us know what your result is - fingers crossed for BFP! Grin

Luxlisbon82 · 15/07/2013 11:23

Af due friday so prob sat if it doesn't turn up! getting nervous

Tea1Sugar · 15/07/2013 11:16

I'm going to poas on thursday before I go to my friends birthday dinner. The result will let me know whether or not I can drink! It'll be 12dpo. When is everyone else testing?

OP posts:
Luxlisbon82 · 15/07/2013 09:42

Hey kittycat, if you are on a longer cycle the later pains could be later ov, do you get any other ov symptoms? maybe opks will help if you have varying lengths of cycles. If not many people complain of af type pains too early and go on to have a bfp, so fingers crossed for you!

Englishbreakfast I've been having these pains since about 7dpo but I'm first cycle off pill so don't know how long my cycle is, but all signs point to 28 days, so they are so early, hopefully it means positive things for us- at least something is going on in there?!

EnglishBreakfastTea · 15/07/2013 02:34

Oops, forgot to mention that I'm not a night owl....I actually live in Australia so it's a reasonable time here! Smile
KittyCatKittyCat - you sound just like me! My cycles range from 28 - 34 days, mostly they stable out at 30-31 but i can never really tell! Have you tried temping? I havent yet (am going to do more research listen to mumsnet advice) before I invest in a kit. I've had odd feeling boobs in the last couple of days too, they dont hurt, just feel strange....I'm deffo taking it as a sign Smile wishing you the best of luck!!

EnglishBreakfastTea · 15/07/2013 02:23

Hello ladies, brand new first time poster here! I'm on my first 2ww trying to conceive DC1 and i'm not enjoying it in the slightest, to be honest, I feel pretty rough! The constant ache ive been experiencing down there for the last 5 days is starting to scare me a bit! Has anyone experienced anything like this before?? AF is due on Sunday so its a bit early for me to POAS, its taking all my will power not too though! Hoping fingers & toes crossed that i'll get a BFP next week - at least it will put my mind at ease about the period type pain anyway! Smile
Nice to meet you all, sending Brew and as many BFPs as possible!

KittyCatKittyCat · 13/07/2013 18:51

Jeez... *implanting.

KittyCatKittyCat · 13/07/2013 18:51

Good* (slaps forehead)

KittyCatKittyCat · 13/07/2013 18:50

Oooh! Goog luck everyone!

I'm super confused, maybe you can all help me out? I have irregular cycles so not sure if I'm ovulating or impanting! Will continue to DTD every other day regardless (serious foof chafe, despite using conceive+). Okies, my cycle has been 28-35 days this year. Mostly 31/32. So, here's my activity this month, with symptoms...
Cd 1-5 AF
cd 6 DTD
cd 9 DTD (at Glasto, we're dedicated...)
cd 12,13,14 + 17,18 DTD

cd 19, 20, 21 Away on business, but got mild AF cramps in the night on 20 and 21.
cd 22 DTD and started getting mild achey boobs, like AF due but not as sore, v.mild.
cd 23 boobs still tiniest bit tender when I move them about.

cd23 is today... so if my longest cycle is 35, I guess I'm in the 2ww already, with my shortest cycle at 28 these could be symptoms of pg. Hmmm.

Thoughts or opinions anyone?

TeaAndANatter · 13/07/2013 16:56

Uhhh, lower temp today. Scenting no need to test tomorrow/Monday. Quite frankly, poo. First cycle post mc was probably hoping for too much, but I'd read so many other people managing it. Poo, poo, poo. Sadder than I thought this'd be. And also worrying that bleeding will be triggering about the mc. Good luck all remaining on the wait. I'll lurk until AF arrives, then slink off to the August bus. x

Tea1Sugar · 13/07/2013 10:31

Morning all. Strange thing for me today - for up at 6am with dd as I do everyday. I've just woken up from an hour's nap on the sofa. Really? A nap at 9.30am?!

OP posts:
Tea1Sugar · 11/07/2013 20:35

Sending loads of luck your way, it's my first cycle off the pill so also doubtful tbh, but us "teas" can stick together Grin

OP posts:
TeaAndANatter · 11/07/2013 20:27

Crossing everything for you. It's only my first cycle post mc, so I'm not overly hopeful, but still going for it whole heartedly.

Tea1Sugar · 11/07/2013 20:18

Thanks! Got cramps tonight pretty intense tbh but at only cd18 I reckon it's IBS rather than Af or implantation. Still wishful though!

OP posts:
TeaAndANatter · 11/07/2013 20:16

Ha! Well, that's commitment for you. If it makes you feel good, go for it. Hell, roll them up and smoke them if it helps the 2ww go faster ;-)

Tea1Sugar · 11/07/2013 20:12

Please slap me I'm still doing opks each day despite being cd18 now and had just one positive opk on cd12. Blush
