Haha you are all so mad funny! I wonder if the antenatal boards are as fun as the buses?! Hope they're not all serious! Not that I'm going there yet or anything!

Ooh Retro the thought of being able to poas without spotting ruining my fun is just too exciting! Let me know if you are about to do it next week. Do you want me to attempt to stop you or just let you pee away?! I'd like to think I can wait until 21st but if there's no spotting, I might not be able to contain myself (or my pee!)

sammyj85 · 11/03/2014 17:28

I like the twoweekwaitaway!

KittyVonCatsington · 11/03/2014 17:20

Hope you're feeling better, Retro - thanks for the funny gameshow Grin Have been trying to think of an appropriate name..."I'm a fire breathing penis dragon...Get me out of here!", "Saturday Night TwoWeekWaitAway!"...

I should stop now Blush

bellaboo88 · 11/03/2014 17:18

Yes chocy its me giving it a break......had a chat last night & decided were not trying but not preventing either...no notes/tests/forced sexy time/imaginary symptoms. (P.s amazing news!!!)

I had a mini breakdown last night, I honestly thought I'd fall preggers if he sneezed soon as I stopped microgynon. Will toddle off to the April bus soon as I see it but I can't leave!!! Xx

lindamagoo · 11/03/2014 17:04

I'll go down to boots tomorrow and see if I can get Robitussin then, the wee local chemist is pretty rubbish

RetroHippy · 11/03/2014 16:59

Oh, and AF usually arrives rather abruptly. So I am crotch watching for any sign of spotting.

RetroHippy · 11/03/2014 16:57

I don't usually, that was just an example from the many people on here mentioning it!

FF says AF is due on the 19th as I ov'd on the 4th. So that makes me 7dpo today. I'm still intending to test on the 20th/21st depending on when DH gets back from his trip. But if my temps stay high (looking like it might be a second rise from today) then I may be tempted to POAS before he leaves on Monday morning Grin.

Although he'd then be totally useless on his trip so not the best of ideas...

missmrsmummy · 11/03/2014 16:44

Retro do you get spotting pre-AF? My AF is due On 20th (I think, but then what do I know?!) but I usually get 3 days of spotting first so as you said, this time next week I might have a better idea!

CagedMango · 11/03/2014 16:37

Got caught by autocorrect-guide stein should say guaifenesin.

CagedMango · 11/03/2014 16:35

I've been following the SMEP plan this month, which says take Robitussin cough syrup (or anything that says expectorant). The active ingredient is guide stein, although avoid one with an antihistamine too as this will dry you up. Guaifensen acts to make your mucus membranes runnier [paraphrased]. I've been taking The Robitussin chesty cough and it seems to work pretty well.

RetroHippy · 11/03/2014 16:33

linda, I used Benylin, but it does have other stuff in it as well as the magic ingredient. And now I've started looking for it, most pharmacies stock Robitussin behind the counter. It's a wee bit pricey but worth it if it works!

Good luck mama! I'd love to try the 'not obsessing' approach, but I'm just too much of a control freak! Are you just DTD eod to keep yourself 'filled'?

mama31 · 11/03/2014 16:25

Great news on the FRER choccy! Congrats! :) I'm good thanks. Ovualtion approaching. No IC's purchased this month, going to try not testing...that's the plan anyway.

Hope everyone else is doing ok.

lindamagoo · 11/03/2014 16:17

Hmmmm just been to chemist for venos and apparently they don't sell it anymore. What other cough medicine will I get?

RetroHippy · 11/03/2014 14:55

So far this 2ww has gone pretty quick. Being ill, house hunting and the fact that I ov'd two days earlier than expected have all helped.

This time next week... Fx!

Treaclepie19 · 11/03/2014 14:20

Haha oh Retro :(

It will all be worth it! I'm wishing the weeks away TTC...

RetroHippy · 11/03/2014 14:03

Ant and Dec together: Wrong!

Ant: This month it was AF arriving early and in a totally different way than ever before! (Chirpy grin)

Dec: This lady's implantation symptoms are so similar to pms that when she gets pg next cycle she won't notice until she's 5 weeks!

Together: That's conception!

^^^^ that is what it feels like Hmm

PunkyPod · 11/03/2014 13:16

MrsExtra DH takes multivits which have zinc in them. I read years ago that it helps the swimmers. And we got DD so quickly so he started again for this baby. Got preg very quickly again but lost it. Hoping this cycle is a better one.

hazel yeh i'd start opks tonight. i generally do them when i get home from work. and when i'm pretty sure ov is coming then i do it a couple of times a day to try and find the surge.

I defo have a headache from thinking about all this TTC so much!! My mum asked the other day whether there was any news yet (she knew when we started TTC) and i had to tell her about the MC. And then my dad mentioned something about it last night. A new baby is so wanted!

Have we got any more testers today? Would love to hear some more BFP news!

missmrsmummy · 11/03/2014 13:14

Treacle I knowwww! It's soooo long! Bah.

missmrsmummy · 11/03/2014 13:14

Owlie I've just had the same! But I think I had it last cycle too Sad

missmrsmummy · 11/03/2014 13:13

I'm going with Dec - implantation!

Am I right?!

Treaclepie19 · 11/03/2014 13:03

Hehe, I'm going withhhh implantation?! :p Dare I?

RetroHippy · 11/03/2014 13:00

Ant and Dec together: missmrsmummy, that is the correct answer!

Ant: The headache had been caused by overthinking ttc and listening to small children shouting.

Dec: You win one pee stick to add to your stash.

Ant: Now for the next round...

Ant: This lady had slight spotting this morning.

Dec: Her AF usually arrives a week later than this like Niagara Falls.

Ant: So what do you think? Imagination?

Dec: Or Implantation?!

Treaclepie19 · 11/03/2014 12:55

Heheh Retro, we need to tell Ant and Dec your idea!!! :p

2dpo today... Probably. Doesnt time go slowly...

Owlie84 · 11/03/2014 12:52

Retro, that's so funny! I can just imagine it! Grin

I'm on 4dpo I believe, and I've got quite a lot of watery cm when I go to the loo (sorry, TMI). is this a good sign? I've been tracking every month and I don't think I've had this much at this stage before??

missmrsmummy · 11/03/2014 12:48

Hahaha Retro I love your new game! Hmm, headache, I'd go imagination. Probably been using her brain too much to design the new nursery (in her head) and decide in baby names. Next!
