Perpetual! Congratulations! Did you do the digi test?

Hi to Ladder and Buildsite. Hows the tww going for you? The symptom spotting was torture for me last cycle.

Im now on my second on CD4, after a light, short period, still convinced myself to take a test haha I have gone mad and of course it was BFN but my boobs still felt a tiny bit tender when I sqeeze and poke them and feeling a little weepy, but crazy hormones I guess but glad I ruled it out and now looking forward to the next fertile week.

Hows everyone doing? Any more BFP? August will be the month!

It's kind of both better and worse this time around. Last time I was under immense pressure at work, causing my periods to go haywire with the stress. My cycle lasted 35-50 days so I had very little idea when I might be ovulating. Frustrating at the time, but it meant we couldn't be too regimented about it. I only found out I was pregnant when I was 7 weeks already, so the early symptoms I only realised in hindsight ("oh so that's why my boobs felt sore and tiredness wasn't due to too many late nights...")

This time my cycle is about 25 days, so I know another "go"is just around the corner if it doesn't work this time, but all this symptom-studying is getting wearisome already Grin

Hi Ladder and welcome.

I'm also 5 dpo and have pretty much same 'symptoms' as you, always tired (but like you nothing new there) no changes in boobs yet but I didn't feel any soreness until week 8 with first pregnancy, so really nothing to write home about but the wait it slowly killing me.

LadderToTheMoon · 15/07/2014 11:58

Hello, may I join? I've skimmed the thread, but haven't read it properly yet.

I'm 5 DPO, trying for baby no.2. I'm desperately trying to remember my early symptoms from last time. I remember being incredibly tired (tick, but I'm always tired these days!) and tingly, sore boobs (not yet).

Sorry to hear about AF lily :(

I'm feeling really hesitant to even type this - but yesterday and this morning I tested and got very faint BFP!
It feels a bit unreal & Im not sure if I trust the tests as the lines are so faint, but I'm getting a digi test for tomorrow, just to (hopefully) see it in writing!!

Indiangirl - are the cramps in your side? I've been getting cramps and aches down my right side - through my lower back and hip. Thought it was a cyst, but if these BFP holds out then perhaps it was a sign of implantation? Fx for you

nomdemere · 15/07/2014 10:49

Fingers crossed Indiangirl, you could be our success story for this month! Any news?

lilyp2014 · 13/07/2014 11:50

Hi Everyone,
Well i'm out for this month. Had spotting starting on 11dpo and hoped it was IB but no, she is here today! So on to the next month. Think we will just dtd every other day from cd10 and not use OPK's and think i will use evening and primrose oil to help with cm.

Sorry to all who AF got and hoping that August will be our month!

ILiveOnABuildsite · 12/07/2014 20:47

Oh sorry to hear that Zoobaby Thanks Cake

zoobaby · 12/07/2014 20:30

Well I'm officially out. AF got me. Grr. Onwards and upwards. Time to order the next month's OPK.

PerpetualStudent · 12/07/2014 16:09

Thanks! Another day, another BFN and no AF. SO frustraiting, but like you say Fx.... How's everyone else getting on?

ILiveOnABuildsite · 11/07/2014 17:37

Oh dear perpetual I know what you mean, in many ways it's better to know one way or another but at same time as long as you don't then BFP is still an option. Fx for you.

PerpetualStudent · 11/07/2014 12:47

Sorry to hear about AF nom!
Im now 2 days late, been feeling usual AF-approaching symptoms on and off, but just tested this morning & BFN.
I know AF is proably just taking her sweet time, but hate not knowing - this is like the TWW with bells on!!

indiangirl2013 · 11/07/2014 06:27

Sorry nom ! I read an earlier post of yours that said your spotting stopped :( i am so sorry! didnt want to come out like an insensitive jerk! :(

indiangirl2013 · 11/07/2014 05:45

Thats fantastic news nomdemere!! I am day 11 po and yesterday night I distinctly felt a singing pain in my boobs...never a sign for AF so i am keeping my fingers crosseD!

indiangirl2013 · 10/07/2014 09:44

I think we should all stick on to that beautiful wish! :) Amen!
yeah I am not too young myself...got married late, had the first baby even later.. and didnt have the heart to go for a secodn one so soon...and then when i was ready the twin thing happened...so lost half a year...so there! mleh!

nomdemere · 10/07/2014 09:42

Well I am a bit old, so my eggs are probably getting crumbly. This one just wasn't meant to be, but fingers crossed that the next one is a good'un.

Wouldn't it be nice if this thread ended up with a series of new baby photos over next year.

Sorry i misspelt your name nomdemere :( my bad! Thanks ILive!

ILiveOnABuildsite · 10/07/2014 09:11

Well said indiangirl!
Sorry af arrived nomdemere.

indiangirl2013 · 10/07/2014 08:30

Yess! And may we all leave this page with beautiful babies, healthy and safe!

nomdemere · 10/07/2014 08:12

Thanks Indiangirl. That's true, the next cycle is beginning :)

OP posts:
indiangirl2013 · 10/07/2014 08:12

Oh nomedere sorry for the AF showing up early! you know i had that, what you mentioned, i had spotting in one of my cycles that was like wayy to early and then like a week after my AF began...so yeah i think so too...implantation that didnt really stick? not sure...but dont let it get to you the next cycle has almost begun! :) cheer up!

nomdemere · 10/07/2014 08:09

Oh damn. Tested this morning - BPN, but thought it might still be a day or two early. But AF has just started - rather early. This cycle is only 26 days which seems unusual. I wonder if the implantation bleeding was from a failed implantation. I really thought I was pg. Oh well. Better luck to everyone else still in the game.

OP posts:
indiangirl2013 · 10/07/2014 08:06

so i wasnt really charting, as i didnt want to jinx it...but i think i am about 10 dpo today...and here is what i have...

consistent lower back pain, discomfort sometimes shooting pains...
dry cm or no cm...
theres like little flutters in the uterine area all day long...today a little milder...
i felt two quick pops or twinges a couple days back on the right side somewhere below my belly button...not painful just weird..
and have had stuffy nose and sore throat like forever since o day...

so officially i think i am now in the 2ww and really dont want to get my hopes high...i am also changign my obgyn this time as the last one didnt even let me know there wer complications with my twins, and if we didnt take a second scan and opinion it would have gone really badly...
so need to look for a good doc also...

hows all of you doing?

indiangirl2013 · 10/07/2014 08:00

No harm done zoobaby :) all is well!
