No sign of a bfp for me! Apart from all my symptom spotting and that one test that had a line on it!!! So frustrating! But will test again friday if no sign of af! I'm exhausted today....haven't managed to move from sofa since got home from work and can't be bothered doing anything!

keepswimming1 · 04/09/2013 19:26

still no sign mama ? :)

mama31 · 04/09/2013 19:25

Found a site called 2 week wait!! Now I'm obsessed..... It has all the symptoms people had in their 2 wk wait.....I could just read and read and read....and of course obsessing that I have some of those symptoms lol

cheesysmile · 04/09/2013 19:18

Notta that's really good going - I found the weights part the hardest, thought my weedy arms were going to drop off! Also I did the 'easy' pushups ... omg, not easy for me!

I should stop talking about exercise and actually do some - will start tomorrow, I absolutely will!

Sparrowlegs248 · 04/09/2013 19:15

Ah well that'll be why then - i've not seen it!

Englishteacher was it you who did the spartan? How was it?

keepswimming1 · 04/09/2013 19:14

nottalotta - come on haven't you seen finding nemo, its great.. I love it :)

DisneyDiva87 · 04/09/2013 19:11

It's from finding nemo. Dory sings a 'song' "just keep swimming" but I adapted it for obvious purposes

englishteacher78 · 04/09/2013 19:09

It's Dory's song (adapted) from Finding Nemo.
The song in its original form got me through the London Marathon!

Sparrowlegs248 · 04/09/2013 19:02

Evening all!! Just checking in before i leave work, late one for me today.

Leezl aand cheesy - i did 10 days of each level on 30 day shred. Started to get the hang of each level on day 8! Found the cardio bits the hardest - jumping jacks skipping etc. Who knew skipping was so hard??

The ttc hysteria is mounting for me. Seem to follow a pattern when i get very obsessed in the dtd bit, tails off for a week or so then builds up again just before af is due. 20 whole days til next time!!! I shall fill my time with dtd as much as poss. Distract myself. Grin

Disney - no idea about your song!! Presume some kiddy tv thing?? Confused

Obvs just reporting what he said I am not a medical person! X

panicmechanic · 04/09/2013 18:50

Hi jaykay, I considered whether to drink etc in the 2ww was quite strict for the first few cycles and then decided i needed to relax. I spoke to my consultant today at an appt and he said there is no evidence social drinking can do any harm before you get a BFP and just be sensible. The bean isn't connected to your bloodstream until the uterus is developed so there is no transfer. He is a consultant that deals in miscarriages so I trust his judgement as he is cautious about other things - hope that helps you ! X

VJONES1985 · 04/09/2013 18:50

Okay,thank you. Last month I had no lines at all except for when I was ovulating so this month is confusing me a bit, ha ha!

fifi669 · 04/09/2013 18:46

Faint lines mean nothing jones, it's only when both lines are as dark as each other it counts with OPKs

VJONES1985 · 04/09/2013 18:41

Hi all! Well, I'm on cd9 but have had faint lines on my OPKs for three days now. Dunno what that means?? Think my cervix is quite high and soft (not that I'm entirely sure what I'm looking for...) but it seems too early to be approaching ovulation?

onelifeonechance · 04/09/2013 18:40

Is he back 18th Gilly? If so then lots of dtdeeding beforehand and you'll have to be ready to pounce as soon as he walks in the door.

Completely understand your frustration when it's circumstances out of your control, my hubby was due to be away for my fertile bit this month and I was so stressed out about it so I feel your pain. Thankfully they moved the week he's going away to the end of the Month, fx you get the same luck but if not i'm sure if you try to do the bd lots before he goes you'll be in with a good chance

Choccywoccydodah · 04/09/2013 18:36

Disney, you have been at the wine it seems Wink

Mama, I thinks it goes whitish after ov, still in with a chance if af not here Grin

Welcome newbies!

onelifeonechance · 04/09/2013 18:34

Happy hols Vix Grin fx you don't need any of your af stuff.

Hope you can still access MN whilst you're away for two reasons, 1) as mama said we will be desperate to know how you're getting on and 2) imagine how long it will take you to catch up on all our natter if you're away for two whole weeks!!

gillywillywoo · 04/09/2013 18:27

Last few months I have got a positive OPK around cd20.
Just found out DH is away at a conference on 16th and 17th which is cd21 and cd22 BlushAngry

So stressed out! Gonna have to dtd loads leading up to his departure!

cheesysmile · 04/09/2013 18:00

Ha ha, disney your song made me laugh Grin

Mmmm wine and cheese wedding, wish I'd thought of that, two of my favorite things! Enjoy!

snoozysleeper · 04/09/2013 17:41

Ha disney best song ever Grin

Sounding hopeful again mama fingers still crossed for you!

And jaykay definitely do the cheese and wine... Nom nom nom

mama31 · 04/09/2013 17:36

Thanks vicky I'm just not so sure and can't stop obsessing!

Have a great hol and I hope u update on minute with the outcome of poas! We will all be in suspense!!!

VickyVix · 04/09/2013 17:34

Actually forgot to add justhayley really hope you're ok

VickyVix · 04/09/2013 17:33

You ladies make me laugh, so much chat it's difficult to catch up.

bushprincess WOW, brilliant, fabulous, exciting, well done you on your BFP, great news Grin

Jaykay consume the wine and cheese to your hearts content, sounds great, I'm jealous.

keepswimming sorry to hear AF got you, save me a seat on that October bus, I think I'll be joining you.

mama hang in there. It's not over yet.

I got another BFN this morning :( Not much sign of AF. TMI alert but I've got quite a bit of CM at the moment - odd. If i count from the day fixed smiley appeared on my OPK i'm 13dpo but aware i could in fact be 11dpo as can be 48 hours after the smiley. Have a suitcase full of AF goods just in case, OPK sticks for next cycle and 2 golden HPTs just in case AF doesn't show up........still considering the 35,000 feet POAS option for tomorrow morning :)

I just want to know one way or the other so I can focus on something!

bushprincess · 04/09/2013 17:28

haha! Love the song Disney!!

Mama - sounds promising... fx for you

also wondering how justhayley is... if you're out there let us know you're ok!!!

checking out for the eve (first social occasion on no wine... hmmmmm)

hope everyone has a restful/dtdful evening as needed!

mama31 · 04/09/2013 16:53

Haven't seen an update from justhayley....also been thinking of her, hope she's ok.
