Hi everyone. I'm about to embark on another 2ww (ovulating today) and wondered if there was anyone else out there in the same position who wanted to come along for the ride!

Only cycle 2 TTC #2 but took 13 months last time so crossing everything!!

Nothing this morning :(
Could have been my eyes playing tricks yesterday, or a duff test perhaps.
Got cramping today so perhaps AF is on the way but I just don't feel quite myself in a way I can't pinpoint. Who knows... Time will tell I suppose!

I'm just feeling impatient!!!

Big congrats candy :) :) :)

MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 13/10/2014 12:01

Candy CONGRAAAAATS. What beautiful lines Smile so happy. Don't worry about feeling guilty. Completely normal (says the girl who can't even work out what her poor excuse for a body is up to!).

Gillian any news from you?

I've just got back home so will update better later

Wooo congrats candy. Lovely clear line.
still no af for me this morning.
might be on its way tho, bit crampy this am, disturbed sleep and felt pukey last night.

ScaryMartian · 13/10/2014 08:50

Woopwoop! That is indeed a lovely line, congrats Candy! I bet it was the shagging schedule what did it!!

Completely understandable that you are feeling that way. I second what Bobian said about it soon becoming the new normal.

Congrats again, exciting times ahead!

Bobian123 · 13/10/2014 08:41

Wowwwww!! candy congratulations!!! Wonderful line :-) I'm sure it's very very normal to be feeling lots of different emotions about having two, and a bit of guilt about DD1. You'll work it all out though and find a way to juggle! When I had DS1, I thought of it as a "new normal" eventually. And that's exactly what it'll be with your second!

So pleased for you! x

candypop · 13/10/2014 08:19

We have another line with FRER! I am a bit nervous as it's so early on. Very happy but panic is beginning to set in! How am I going to cope with two? Also feeling irrational guilty for DD1 .... Does it sound weird that I'm sad that our time alone with just her is limited now Blush

Another 2ww thread!!!!!
ScaryMartian · 13/10/2014 07:48

Also Gillian?!

ScaryMartian · 13/10/2014 07:46

Any more news Candy?

ScaryMartian · 12/10/2014 21:50

Waaaaaah! Candy, that is a beauty! I have my fingers and toes crossed for you!

Many people say they get AF symptoms incl cramps after their bfp so try not to fret too much.

Tentative congrats. Smile

Gillian1980 · 12/10/2014 21:42

Yes! I can see it candypop! :) x

candypop · 12/10/2014 21:36

Good luck Gillian ! Fx for you !

crafty sorry to hear. Moan away that's what we are here for!

scary well done! I think I caved at 6dpo so you are already doing better than me.....

mooley hopefully you have catches the eggy as you've been very good with DTD.

Sooooo I've been feeling odd all day and just couldn't help myself and POAS.... And shiver me timbers.....

And this is done without FMU.... You see a line right?!

Think is... My stomach is very achy like AF is on it's way.... Going to test again tomorrow morning .
FX 'd!!!!

Another 2ww thread!!!!!
craftyclev · 12/10/2014 17:50

Bah bfn!
Where's my bloody period? (literally). Never thought I'd be wishing for my af to arrive!
bored of feeling pukey and tired!
Also proper grumpy cow today! Maybe thats a good sign

Good luck everyone.
I'll try not to be so moany next post

Gillian1980 · 12/10/2014 16:30

Alas, no pic Martian. I feared I would drive myself insane looking at it so binned it :) hopefully tomorrow's FMU will give another, darker, line which I'll take a pic of.

ScaryMartian · 12/10/2014 15:27

Hello!

Candy, great willpower! Weldone for not testing. Hang on in there!

I'm only 6dpo (I think) and was sooooo tempted to test this am but gave myself a mental slap instead. I do have very sore boobs though..

Ooo Gillian, a line! Any chance of a picture? I love a bit of line porn Smile

Mooley, here's hoping you have ov'd or that your body holds out until you're home so you can dtd again. Glad you're having a lovely weekend.

Gillian1980 · 12/10/2014 11:11

Morning!

Thanks for the welcomes :)

Well, ovia tells me to test in 4 days but I caved this morning. I got a very very very faint second line!

Keeping my fingers crossed that the line will get darker this week...

MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 12/10/2014 08:15

Hi ladies, sorry I've been awol, no internet and signal very hit and miss.

candy I'm very very impressed with your will power. Remember if you are upduffed then you will still be upduffed come Saturday. If you can hold out I definitely would!

gillian welcome. Hope this is a lucky thread for you.

scary how are things with you?

Well absolutely no idea if I've ov'd; left my thermometor at home so haven't been able to temp. Up to yesterday was still getting EWCM a seems to be a bit sticky this morning so hoping I have ov'd although last DTD on Thursday so really not hopeful if I'm just ov'ing as we won't be home until tomorrow! Woke up to some AF like cramps as well actually thought she was making an appearance. Hate not being in control! Sad

On the plus side I'm having a lovely weekend and DD is being adorable!

Morning ladies, how's everyone doing?

Welcome gillian you're on your final stretch of the TWW! Are you going to test ?

I did very well today .... Spent the last 30 mins holding in my FMU tempted to test but was good and decided against it! I am 10DPO and AF due Saturday .

Dilemma , shall I hold out to sat (which is going to be super hard) or wait another 2 days and test in two days? I don't really want to spend money in FRERs .... Is there any cheap own brand alternative that does early detection ??

Gillian1980 · 10/10/2014 22:15

Hi all. It's my first ever tww.... So not really expecting a bfp so quickly but still keeping fingers crossed. 6 days until AF due so only time will tell. Developed a thick creamy cm today and had light cramping last week but don't know if I'm imagining symptoms!!

craftyclev · 10/10/2014 21:27

Probably first thing in the morning tomorrow then if I dont get af or a gp apt before I'll try to wait again til next weekend.

Im sure I remember my mum saying she never got a positive home test and didnt find out she was 2 months pregnant until she had a blood test cos was feeling fluey for ages. She always had erratic periods so hadnt made the connection with a missed period. Could be that home tests in the 80s weren't very sensitive though.

candypop · 10/10/2014 19:41

crafty that sounds very promising .... When are you going to test?

craftyclev · 10/10/2014 19:24

Hi mooley fx for you.
gp apt plan was more to find out why af hasnt arrived rather than for fertility clinic referral.
Bought a first response test today as was out with my sis in law and her ds and she kept asking me if I was up the duff, mainly as apparently my boobs are massive, and I kept heaving at random smells.
Thought id wet myself or af had arrived earlier, but nope just loads of cm (sorry tmi).
Ended up giggling like a school girl in superdrug at the selection of turkey basters next to the tests, the descriptions on some of them were ridiculous, its very likely I probably need to grow up!

Good luck all x

candypop · 10/10/2014 15:26

So remind where everyone is at? I'm at DPO8.

Just been to loo and as a wipe had quite a bit of mucus like snot (thick like cold snot Grin sorry TMI) .... Is that a good sign??! Is that even a sign ??!

Other than that... No other symptoms Confused

LastMinuteMother · 10/10/2014 14:57

Me too. 3rd month trying....hate the waiting already..

MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 10/10/2014 14:44

Crafty GP won't normally refer you until you have been trying for the best part of a year; however as you have endometriosis then you could see them at 6 months and see what they say (if you haven't got upduffed by then that is!). Fx'd it doesn't come to that though :)

Candy STEP AWAY FROM THE TESTS!!! You know that 7dpo is far far too early to be testing, the egg might not even implanted yet and even if it has then it stil takes at least 2 days for hCG to build up. Naughty naughty (but completely understand!!)

Scary YEY for temp rise :) :) I am sure that you more than likely ov'd on Monday looking at your chart. Try to relax (easier said than done i know).

Well still oodles of EWCM, high, soft and open cervix but NO BLOODY TEMP RISE!!!!! Angry i am either about to ov or my body is having a good laugh this month. We DTD last night but not going to get the chance until at least Monday as we are going away for the weekend with by DH's parents. They sleep in the room next to us so no chance at all of any sexy time. On that basis alone I am writing this month off, which is a little disappointing. Just got to hope that i either get a nice temp rise tomorrow or a dip and a rise on Sunday, that way at least there will be some sort of sperm up there to attempt an egg meet!!!

Right, got to go and sort myself out for tonights journey. Cheese and wine is the order of the day i think :)

ScaryMartian · 09/10/2014 18:09

Hi crafty, I have my fingers crossed for you. Not sure how long I would give it before seeing GP re cycles. I expect someone has some sensible advice.

Mooley, sorry about ov, it might not be an annovulatory cycle, may just be delayed. Do you have lots of opks to pee o? Keep going EOD if you can, just in case.

I had my first clear temp rise this am. I really hope it was just a slow rise rather than ov yesterday. I did get some achy stomach pains all day yesterday which got a little worse last night but nowhere near as sore as my normal ov pains. On a sort of plus I have had some light brown discharge which happened at 3dpo last time. I've read this can be blood from the egg popping during ov. I hope that is the cause as it means we timed it right. All signs apart from the temp point to me o'ing on Monday but I keep getting a little voice telling me that the temp rise is a pretty important sign and without it I prob didn't ov when I thought.

Time will tell.

Candy- I have a bag full of ic's so I'm pretty much guaranteed to fold from 7/8 dpo on. I can't really blame you and you're right, they don't count if they are the rubbishy free ones!
