Anyone on their first cycle 2ww want a cycle buddy to chat with ?

I have also been reading about Evening Primrose Oil, that is s'posed to help too. Lukily I love grapefruit juice(one of the few!) I am trying not to get too carried away just yet though, as this is our first month of ttc. I am quite enjoying the suspense of the 2ww, although I am sure this will change as the months drag on!

My DP and I have siad we will take it easy for the first six months, and then if nothing happens, we will start getting more technical about things! Hopefully that will keep anxiety to a minimal. He is doing a great job of not thinking about it, but I am finding it much more difficult. I can't think of anything else!

Thanks Pancha,

Good luck to you too. We can go through all the highs and lows together as our cycles are similar.

I too have been reading into every abdominal pain or twinge, and if nothing happens this month i think i will give grapefruit juice during week of ovulation a go as other people on BFP threads swear by it!

Hi Mrspf, welcome along!

So sorry to hear about your m/c. Hopefully things will get better and you will conceive in no time!

Please can I join your thread, as I need people to chat to.

I am in my first month TTC following a m/c in August. I have a 22 month old DD.

It only took 1 month to conceive both times, and with fertility apparently higher for the 3 cycles after m/c I am expecting it to be easy again. Last time I was getting early signs but I'm not sure this time. I hope I won't feel too down if AF comes. It's all I think about- I want a baby so badly (I'm nearly 35 and don't want to wait too long).

Any advice on how to take my mind off things. Guess i could do an early test but think i will wait until fri. fingers crossed

Hi Pancha - my cycle varies from 29 days to 35... so it's a bit of an unknown quantity with me! Will be keeping a beady eye for AF on the 23rd too though!! I really feel like it's on its way now though - major AF cramps, but every time I check - nothing! So frustrating - wish you could flick a switch and know what's happening!

I am due around the 23rd, but I have recently come off the pill, and I am not totally sure how long each cycle is. I am going on a 28 day cycle, until I am proven otherwise. How long are your cycles KitKat? It will be good if they are similar, so we can worry together!

I really wasnt planning to test at all today - just saw the bloody stick looking at me this morning and I couldnt resist!!

I'm due any time from 21st - 25th/26th... so I am testing really early. I just feel so weird I cant quite believe I'm not if you know what I mean??? But then the EPTs keep telling me I'm not...so who knows.

Just not going to buy another test until the weekend (assuming AF doesnt arrive before then).

Morning! I hope you manage to get through the day Pink Butterfly, and you are able to relax a bit and enjoy feeling queasy!

No change for me today, but i don't think I am pg this month. Proabably a good thing, as I think my DP may need a few more months to get his head round this! He says he can't really think about it, get excited etc until it actually happens. So sensible!

When is your af due, KitKat? Sorry for the BFN. Maybe tommorrow?

KitKat - test every day if it makes you feel better but don't if it stresses you out! Everythin crossed for you. if you get your BFP, this must be a lucky thread and hopefully I'll get mine too!

Great news PinkB, really pleased for you.

I'm so stupid - I did another bloody test this morning and still a BFN. Surprise, surprise. Dont know what's going on - this morning I could smell a bowl of HP sauce from 10 feet away!! If I'm not pg, then there is something seriously wrong with me!!!

So pleased for you PinkButterfly, hope your confidence continues as the lines get stronger! I can't wait for it to be my turn! It's CD13 for me and I normally OV between CD16 & 18 so it is now the active part of the cycle for me let's just hope I can convince DH to BD more than last cycle and we are newly weds!!

KitKat - everything ok with you? Sat is not far away you know

Pancha - how are the cramps today?

Bluenosesaint & JoeTwoTies - how are you both getting on?

PinkButterfly, lots of people have said that they feel that way and I guess that when you really want something and you get it, you can't quite believe it and don't want to count your chickens too soon! That said, on here we can voice it all right from the beginning, that's what I love about the site, you don't have to hold anything back like you do in RL. In RL no-one, not even my Mum or sisters know we are TTC

The cruellest thing is that many of the early signs of pg are the same as the ones for AF, you just can't really tell unless you have that feeling that some get - PinkButterfly, you just KNEW didn't you?

It's impossible to not over analyse...our brains just dont seem to work that way!

I have mild cramps in my lower abdomen, but I think that I am just hyper aware of my body and every lottle thing it is doing. I have probably always had cramps etc, but have just never noticed them before! Hopefully next month I will chill out a bit! I am on holiday from work too, so lots of time on my hands!

It def makes it easier unloading some of the worry on these boards Pancha...

I'm the queen of (phantom) symptoms! What sort are you having?

No worries! It is all a bit daunting, this ttc business! My af is due in about 6 days, and I am driving myself insane with all the 'what ifs'...and imagining symptoms like there is no tomorrow!!

Pancha - sorry for being so rude and not welcoming you . Hope chatting on here makes TTC as little easier - it has for me

thanks hon, hope so

Oh KitKat not over yet though and maybe just a bit too soon

I am on CD 22 (I think!). I am a bit baffled by much of this, hopefully I will learn quickly and catch up with you all! Fingers crossed for you pink butterfly...
