I was always sure id stop at two. However now I'm planning on trying for no3 not too long after no2 is born!!
Can you believe I am planning this and I'm not even certain I'm pregnant yet! I must be. I'm getting very ragey about things. Surely that's a sign too?? Sore boobs, easily agitated, extra hungry. Sometimes I feel a little nauseous. Hmm.... I so want to POAS!!!

AngelsInWinter · 07/06/2014 17:30

Stop at me?? Stop at THREE I meant!

AngelsInWinter · 07/06/2014 17:08

I know! I was SO sure we'd stop at me. Our third was born absolutely perfect and I remember saying she's the perfect way to complete our family Blush damn broodiness!

Good luck with finding the effort to dtd! It's our night off tonight thank god. We've done it constantly for about 2 weeks! Thought we'd have to cover all bases as I have no idea how my cycle will now pan out.

Zoobaby - awkward! Although, surely she's not going to go rooting through bins?! Haha x

Fruityb · 07/06/2014 15:09

POAS not an obsession yet but going for a wee to see if AF is here yet is starting to annoy me lol

zoobaby · 07/06/2014 14:09

Question. Who would want to be POAS on same day their MIL is staying? I kid you not. MIL will probably be coming to stay for a few days at the start of next week, just as the 2ww should be closing. Think I'll be keeping eye out for AF while MIL is here and take it as a good sign if she stays away.

I suppose it's better that she stays at end if 2ww rather than at ovulation time! Grin

pinpan · 07/06/2014 13:30

Angels, 4! My goodness. Half past midnight and we've had to resort to putting the cot side back on, putting DD in a sleeping bag so she's less likely to be able to get out, and taking her for a drive. We were supposed to be DTD tonight! Though if DD carries on like this I'll be horrified not pleased if I get a BFP this month. Wine

Good luck on Fri 13th! I think I must be holding out the longest/latest with my aspirational 21st June. some of you will be testing for next cycle by then ho ho

AngelsInWinter · 07/06/2014 11:52

CatRen - right, ok, testing buddy! (Unless I get AF before then. Have a feeling it might happen on Friday 13th, it's unlucky after all!!). 10k run, wow. Good luck xx

AngelsInWinter · 07/06/2014 11:48

Red bunny, my DP is the same. EVERY time I say something like "Hmm, got cramps again" or "My boobs are bigger!" He announces that I'm pregnant. Pffft. Got PMT more like!

We've only got June and July to conceive to hoping it happens... (Yes, I'm crazy!)

Also re cot sides... DS has his off at 17 months. Disaster! DD1 was 3. Still a bit of a disaster!

wonders why she's trying for baby no 4

CatRen27 · 07/06/2014 11:45

Angels I'll probably wait until next Saturday as I'll be up early on Sunday for a 10k I'm booked in for and should know how easy to take things! Eek. Husband now in the loop and quizzing me about symptoms. Rather sweet!

I'm jealous of your willpower fruityb!

RedBunny · 07/06/2014 11:41

I hate the 2ww. And I know I can't do anything about it but it seems so stupid that I have no idea what is going on inside my own body! It's mad! My husband keeps asking if I feel like I'm pregnant or suggesting I am every time I am more hungry or anything, and I think he doesn't get that you really can't just 'know'.

AngelsInWinter · 07/06/2014 11:39

Catren - I did a test this morning too! Blush if the pill has fucked off out of my system I'd technically only be about 7/8dpo so of course it was a BFN. Thank god for cheap tests!! Can you hold out for another week?! I'm waiting until next Sat. I wanted to wait longer but I'm going out for an all day drinking sesh with the girls so ideally need to know if I'm upduffed or not beforehand!

Fruityb - ooh I'm excited for you! Such willpower! ;)

Fruityb · 07/06/2014 11:25

Well AF not here yet, boobs feel enormous lol. I'm having light cramps so am not holding out or getting excited just yet; She could turn up later. We shall see. Didn't buy a test this morning as not had time. Will discuss with my other half later and see what he says. I do feel different this time but I could just be imagining it!

zoobaby · 07/06/2014 11:17

Pinpan and redbunny you're living my nightmare. I dread the day that DS' cot sides come off!

CatRen27 · 07/06/2014 11:10

My name is catren and I am only 7dpo but caved and did a cheapo test this morning. Obvs bfn! I have a week to go but feeling so ropey I just thought I'd give it a whirl. One pound to the fund!

blankfornames · 07/06/2014 11:04

Hi AngelsInWinter! Welcome to POAS Anonymous! Best of luck with your 2ww, hope it all happens for you as quickly as it did for your DD!

I'm ttc#1 (had a m/c in April) and AF is due on Thursday. If I can at all, I'd like to wait till the weekend to do a test if AF hasn't arrived but I doubt I'll last that long! It's a tough challenge this tww!! Wink

RedBunny · 07/06/2014 11:04

Well my pregnancy tests didn't arrive today. Which means I can't take one til 12dpo anyway as they won't be here till then!! Although I'm very very tempted to buy a test from tesco or something.... It's very hard to not go do it. I have some cheap strips off eBay but have since read such bad things about them that I'm not sure they'd help me anyway.

RedBunny · 07/06/2014 11:01

Welcome angelsinwinter!

Pinpan I had to take the sides off my daughters cot when she was I think about 20 months.... She's never been a very good sleeper so I didn't worry about that part of it. To be honest although it's not what I planned on I sleep better sometimes now because instead of crying for me to get her in the night she just brings herself into our bed. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and am surprised to find her there!!! Sometimes I do the "why am I desperately trying so hard for another" but then I remember the lovely cuddly baby phase where they CAN'T MOVE!!! Put baby down and it stays in the same place... And of course a newborn is waaaay easier to dress. And then I just disregard the fact that they too will one day enter the terrible twos. Haha!

AngelsInWinter · 07/06/2014 10:50

Hey, can I join? :)

I took my last pill on May 13th, then started my withdrawal bleed as usual on May 16th. I didn't start a new pack of pills after that, so if my cycle was to miraculously carry on as it was on the pill, AF will be due Friday 13th June... We've been dtd every day/every other day since AD finished - I'm knackered! Blush

Part of me thinks everything will go haywire now I've come off the pill and I won't have ovulated yet so why get my hopes up?! BUT with our first daughter, I finished my pill at the end of the packet then when I hadn't come on 28 days later I took a test and was pregnant Shock So I guess it could happen again?!

Last year I was CONVINCED I was pregnant as I had tonnes of symptoms and no periods. I spent a small fortune on pregnancy tests and every single one came back negative, then my period eventually started. So this time I'm surprisingly relaxed, because although I have "symptoms" again I've told myself that they're either a sign of PMT or a rush of hormones from stopping the pill...

Ooh, essay! How is everyone? Anyone else due on Friday 13th? Xx

pinpan · 07/06/2014 10:22

Had to take the side of DD's cot today because she has learned to climb out in the most dangerous way possible (easy as to get up on top of the rail, and then head first onto the floor), so now she's NOT EVER GOING TO GO TO SLEEP EVER AGAIN and I'm wondering why on earth I'm thinking about doing it again. Sad

Birdtable · 07/06/2014 09:40

I poas and got a bfn even though in not due for a week Blush but I have a constant cramp ach thing going on so I thought I should test. Hoping now it was too early but think realistically I won't get a bfp this month. God why is this so hard? Spent all last night taking with dh about having a new baby Sad

Ha ha pinpan you are so hardcore! You are like the headmistress and we are your naughty schoolgirls he he. In my defence I only had sore boobs and dizziness which both went away after a few weeks so I had to keep checking I was still pregnant...and I like watching the second line come up Smile
Hi Emma, yes maybe it's implantation, or even ovulation spotting if you've just had a positive OPK? It's so stressful not knowing what's going on isn't it.
Sorry to hear you got BFN this morning newbie, but every pregnancy is different, so maybe this one's just going to take longer to show. It's still got time to change into a positive x

RedBunny · 07/06/2014 08:29

In fact like we said earlier lets ALL get BFPs and have a big party!! I'm feeling like I jolly well better had get a BFP how much my boobs are hurting. They feel terrible!

RedBunny · 07/06/2014 08:28

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage. It's absolutely awful isn't it whenever it happens. Let's both get sticky BFPs this month!

newbie6 · 07/06/2014 07:51

Thanks red bunny , my last 2 pregnancy's (even though one was a MC at 6wks showed on FRER at 6 days before AF which is why I think I'm out but I guess I'm 17 months older than last time? Heyho it ain't over till AF shows I guess! X
