Looking for company! I'm 1dpo now (I think) and already feeling nauseous.

We're TTC#2, DD1 is 10 months, still bf so some luteal phase issues .

We hit all the right days with dtd I think so fingers crossed.

Anyone else?

Oh sorry to hear about the IBS. That must be really painful. And annoying that it muddles up the symptom spotting. As if the whole thing isn't confusing enough already!

I'll be right behind you on the symptom spotting front - right now at 2dpo it really is too early but expect I will start feeling all sorts of things soon.

Very annoyingly someone asked me recently if I was expecting number 2 Angry. I had a caesarian with DD and still struggling a little bit with the tummy area, and now I'm all paranoid that everyone thinks I'm pregnant when I am not!! Bought some control underwear today! Sorry not sure why I shared all that Blush.

Re CM I think the ovulation kind is meant to be clear and stretchy, but don't quote me on that..

Also - I've had quite heavy CM today. Quite thick and white - I thought it was meant to get less after ov? Confused

Cupcake11 · 14/08/2013 13:16

I'm sure one diet coke can't hurt :)

I think I'm about 6 days po but I don't know for sure. I had cramping on and off all day yesterday but I've just been diagnosed with IBS so it could have been that!

I'm not really sure what implantation is supposed to feel like anyway - if it lasts all day or if it's a quick one off thing.

Also my boobs are sore but I'm sure it's far too early for any of that being down to pregnancy. I often get sore boobs before AF although it's not due for over a week.

Hope you manage to avoid manic symptom spotting Wild, I've failed.

You've done very well if you've only missed one night I think!!! How are you feeling now? I suppose it's a bit early for symptoms isn't it...

I keep wanting to have a diet coke and then thinking maybe I shouldn't. But I guess maybe one would be ok?

Really fingers crossed for this month!

I'm cycle day 21 today so I'm pretty sure I must have ovulated by now. We've being dtd a lot this month to cover all bases but DH was away for a night around the time I think I ovulated. I know one night won't matter but I can't help but think that was the night we should have done it. Ridiculous!

Hope your ov kit is right and you're fertile now. It sounds frustrating, I can't decide whether you're better off knowing or not!

My cycle is usually 31 days, and ov sometimes as late as cd20, although it seems cd18 this month.

I've been complaining on another thread about my ov prediction kit, which started indicating high fertility about a week ago but only indicated peak fertility today - so a bit tired of trying by this point Smile

Where are you now in your cycle?

OP posts:
Cupcake11 · 12/08/2013 19:41

Hi Wild! Do you mind me asking what cycle day you ovulate out of how many?
I have a 31 day cycle, I don't chart or use an ov kit so I'm just wondering what's the latest I might ovulate.
Have fun tonight Wink

Hi Cupcake how are you? And welcome mama.

I'm on ov day today so DTD tonight and probably tmw to be sure. My ov is late in the cycle though, so I expect most others are already 2ww-ing...

OP posts:
Cupcake11 · 12/08/2013 14:05

Hi ladies, is everybody back in the 2ww now?

mama31 · 04/08/2013 17:46

hi everyone I'm very new to this forum, but had been reading the threads and felt the need to join for some moral support. I came off bc (cerazette) on 22nd july as ttc, I was waiting for a withdrawl bleed but this didn't happen. I then feel I ovulated on 29th july as had all the signs of ovulation and ttc A LOT prior to, on 29th and a few days after. I'm thinking I'm being rather optimistic given that I've just came off bc and haven't had a withdrawl bleed or period. If still no sign I'm going to do a test on 15th august!
I wish u all well!!!

xwonderingx · 04/08/2013 11:58

Oh sorry to hear that x. Very frustrating. As others have said, a good thing at least that AF has now arrived and you can move on yo the next cycle.

And welcome empriscilla, very nice to have you on the thread Smile

Sorry I haven't posted for a bit, trying to have a week off thinking about ttc.. But now we're coming up to OPK time again, going to start poas this Tuesday although expect I won't ov until next weekend as it is still happening quite late in the cycle.

Good luck everyone this time round!

Empriscillavoss · 02/08/2013 13:29

I'm going to be testing*

Empriscillavoss · 02/08/2013 13:29

Hey can I join guys? :) I'm long to be testing 26th/27th however as my cycles are around 42 days long, by my calculations I won't ovulate till around the 10th of aug so planning lots of 'fun' that week! Hope we all get the positives we're hoping for! X

pxmx · 02/08/2013 11:54

x poor you i had this with my first couple of cycles off the pill and its a nightmare, you know your not preg but you cant move on and try again until af arrives :( At least you can move on now an fingers x it was just a one off thing. Try and keep positive august might just be your month :)

Doctorhappy · 02/08/2013 10:54

Yes xwondering I would just try and put the las cycle behind you and write it off as a weird blip. Try to see this as a brand new month and a brand new chance, fingers crossed this will be the month you get your bfp! I remember the month before I got pregnant with dc1 I had a really weirdly long cycle and was convinced I was pregnant but got a bfn and then my period finally turned up. These things just happen sometimes... Hmm

Cupcake11 · 02/08/2013 07:55

X you poor thing, it's horrible when our bodies play tricks on us like that. I've found with doctors they rule out anything they believe to be serious and then don't bother to find out what it is - really annoying.

It seems that now your period is here they won't look into it anymore - let's hope it was just a weird one off. If it happens again next month make sure you go back and push for tests to find out if there's a problem.

At least now af is here you can get it out of the way and get going on what will hopefully be the cycle you get your BFP Smile

xwonderingx · 02/08/2013 00:01

could there be something wrong with me! ?!?

xwonderingx · 02/08/2013 00:00

Cupcake11 · 31/07/2013 11:32

Good luck at the doctors today Xwondering - let us know how you get on. Fx for you.

Doctorhappy · 30/07/2013 08:49

xwondering let us know how you get on, hopefully there is nothing to worry about.
Wild - I know it is so frustrating! But yes a may baby sounds lovely doesn't it... Fingers crossed for us all this month. Having a wee week off from thinking about it until we are back to trying again later this week!
Poopy are you still here? Have you told DH yet? Hope you're doing ok xx

pxmx · 29/07/2013 17:31

Yes x pls let us know what the doctor says!

Pxmx really sorry about your bfn... I had thought this might be your month. Fingers crossed we will all be successful in August, May babies will be lovely Smile

Doctor that sounds like an excellent strategy. Good luck on the caffeine front. I'm not a coffee drinker so lucky in that respect, but have the occasional diet coke which I'll try to cut out.

Feeling really annoyed still with my bfn (I know I know, get over it) particularly as I have been extremely ill / nauseous the past few days and feeling very bloated too. If it wasn't for the bfn and AF... Oh well

OP posts:
Cupcake11 · 29/07/2013 12:16

Only two days until your doctor will hopefully be able to tell you what's going on. Hang in there!

xwonderingx · 29/07/2013 10:24

Still no af here !
