So it's my first cycle of ttc number 3. I'm only 2dpo but I'm so, so impatient! Grin

Anyone else entering the 2ww madness? X

Awww squeakybeaky, I'm sorry. Fingers crossed though. I've had terrible cramps since last night, but no af yet. I'll probably be really late this month just to through things right up in the air. I've decided next cycle I'm not doing ov sticks, just going to guess and try every other night, if poss. Dp thinks I'm putting too much stress on myself.
Miss magpie - did u tell him?

Tranquilitybaby · 21/01/2014 23:01

Aww missmagpie congrats! If send him a guess what text then a pic :) xx

Squeakybeaky · 21/01/2014 22:17

I tested this morning with a frer and got another bfn so guess I'm out this month. :( penguin I'm in your boat, my cycle varies between 25-28 days so I'm just wishing it to hurry up now!

Hurrah for the recent BFPS! Think I would do the email and phone call thing, def couldn't wait til Sunday

maeanne · 21/01/2014 17:41

Congratulations missmagpie! Smile I think I would want to wait and tell my DH in person. I'd want to see his reaction!

I'm out for this month. AF due today and I have started spotting. Sad

Zermatt · 21/01/2014 15:54

Maybe call him and ask him to go into his email as you've sent him a photo that you think he'd like to see and wait on the line while he opens it and digests the news so you can hear his reaction as the penny drops. I agree I wouldn't be able to wait until Sunday!

Charlie343 · 21/01/2014 15:40

Congratulations missmagpie! I wouldn't be able to contain myself and would probably try and wait till he is back, last about a couple of hours, and cave in and send a pic!! :)

Catwoman4981 · 21/01/2014 15:22

Too many to read through but did Harry2007 get her BFP?

I ovulated today and I am dreading the wait again Blush

Lottystar · 21/01/2014 15:17

MissMagpie, soooooo pleased for you! Congratulations :) Grin

Send a picture of the pregnancy test if you can't wait, but it may be special to tell him in person too.

My first bout of real morning sickness today but just happy as I know my hormones are doing what they should be! Smile

MissMagpie · 21/01/2014 14:13

He isn't back until Sunday!!! Damn business trip.
Not sure I can wait until then....

Penguinttc · 21/01/2014 13:53

Congrats on the BFP!!!!! How wonderful! I would wait until he is home to tell him, but it would really play on my mind to send the pic. It's a tough one.

Sebsmummy, with my first I was two weeks late before a line came up... So I am hoping it's the same story. I had even been to the docs and had tests there and they said neg too... Now dc is 7! Although I suspect you are right, and I am now waiting for my af. Feeling abit better about it now than earlier though.
Congrats again on the BFP

Zermatt · 21/01/2014 13:15

Massive congrats miss magpie, I had a feeling you were! That's fab news, How to tell your DH is a tough one, do you want to be there to see his reaction? Are you able to wait and keep a lid on the news until he is back?

CagedMango · 21/01/2014 13:14

Congratulations to Sebsmummy and MissMagpie and all the other bfp. I'm sorry to hear about the bfn. Good luck to all those still waiting for af!

I thought I was out yesterday as I had a bit of a bleed 11dpo (I wouldn't say spotting but still not much) but it has stopped now so I'm hoping it was implantation bleeding. Other symptoms could go either way (af or bfp). Guess I'll find out in a few days when af is due. I'm going to try not to test until Saturday, although I think I could test earlier (and I might have to!).

Good luck all!

sebsmummy1 · 21/01/2014 12:37

Penguin im really sorry for your bfn. I suspect if you were pregnant this cycle you would have seen a line, however weirder things have happened. It's not over till the fat witch arrives!! Wink

sebsmummy1 · 21/01/2014 12:36

Aaaaah, I would send him a photo Grin

MASSIVE congratulations xxxx

MissMagpie · 21/01/2014 12:25

Well, after a much-needed dose of courage from Lottystar, I did a Clearblue digital test this morning.

As I said have had no AF symptoms but no anything else either, so you can imagine my shock when the digitial display revealed I am 2-3 weeks pregnant! This is my 12th month of ttc #1 and I have even started the infertility tests with my GP such has been the lack of success and due to my irregular AFs!

Now I have another dilemma - my DH is out the country this week so I haven't told him yet as I don't know whether to tell him by phone, send him a pic of the test or wait til he gets back.

This forum is the only thing I have even breathed a word about it to! What should I do?!?!

Penguinttc · 21/01/2014 11:50

So... It's 13dpo and 3 days before my af is due and I have just tested with a first responce early test, and it's a sold neg :( gutted.
Gutted it didn't happen this month, I think mostly because it's never not happened the first month for me, and I feel like I've failed some how...
Does anyone else think I am definately out of the running this month? I was sure I would be due on af Wednesday, due to ovulating early, but it could be Friday now... My af changes between 26 to 28 days, highly annoying.
Anyway I have the day off today, so I am not going to focus on it and I am going to have a nice hot bath I think.
Sorry zermatt I know nothing about that..
Squeaky beaky good luck, really got my fingers crossed for you!

Thinking about it, having a mid sept baby (c-section) would be a nightmare for me anyway... So many birthdays lol.

Charlie343 · 21/01/2014 07:21

squeakybeaky good luck testing today!

Today's 9 days DPO for me. Tested on an IC (tried to resist but couldn't!!) and got a BFN :( feeling AF type pains today so feel a little down about the whole thing - silly I know!!

Zermatt · 21/01/2014 05:17

Corpus luteum cyst on ovary is the technical term.

Zermatt · 21/01/2014 04:34

It's really comforting reading all of these posts and seeing it's not just me or tenterhooks over analysing ever symptom/sign and watching the days pass frustratingly slowly! Hope it goes well at the doctors Sebsmummy, and everyone else gets a BFP super soon.

So the PMS symptoms I've been having since Friday are really sore sensitive boobs, more frisky than usual (I always get like that just before AF) but have also got quite a persistent pain/ache in my left ovary area, which is very similar to what I usually feel around the time I think I ovulate, but this time it's lasted for 4 days and it's sharper than usual. So obvs being the big bag of neurosis that I am, I've been in a googling frenzy and found out that it can be quite common to get a cyst straight after the egg is fertilized in the ovary that it came from, which could cause the pain. Anyone know of this or had this, or get ovary type pain just before their usual AF? Not sure if I am over analysing all usual PMS symptoms in a new light as ttc and that I normally get this or whether it's new! Sorry couldn't sleep, feel good getting that off my chest. My hubby is snoring blissfully unaware next to me. Xx

Squeakybeaky · 20/01/2014 20:30

Yes I'll come and let you know the outcome :) I'm totally torn between expecting AF and expecting a bfp it really could go either way.

I've tested with a couple of Internet cheapies which have shown faint pink lines but after the time so most def evap. I have one first response left which I'm holding out to use on at least Wednesday.

Going mad..........arrrrgggghhhhhhh

sebsmummy1 · 20/01/2014 20:21

Penguin i NEVER got an evap line on First Response Grin

Penguinttc · 20/01/2014 20:18

Fingers crossed for us then squeaky beaky! Do come back and let us know the outcome
Still very low in mood here... And wanting to eat everything in sight... Af no doubt :(

Squeakybeaky · 20/01/2014 19:43

Penguin that's sounds good to me. Shouldn't be an evap line on the first response if was there in the time frame. Fingers crossed for you.

I'm feeling the same - snappy, moody etc much the same I do with pmt to be honest. I'm due anytime between now and Thursday......

Penguinttc · 20/01/2014 19:25

Good luck at the docs sebsmummy!

Penguinttc · 20/01/2014 19:25

Sebsmummy, I used a asda test (early test?) and a tesco test then this afternoon a first response, which I saw a tiny tiny line, but it then went after 10 mins, and was probably evap line...Going to wait for af now
I've cried at loads of stupid things, snappy and hardly said a word to dp...... Mega pmt :(
Anyone check their cervix? Mines high and hard... Anyone know what that means lol?
