Second cycle of trying...sort of. Tried at beginning of jan but missed ovulation as was at the end of dec. Period due 6th feb.

Am impatient. Want to take a test, but know its just a waste of money!

Not to be a downer, my first cycle TTC was January so all new. Had pin pricking sensations and followed by frightful AF like cramps at implantation time, exactly on the implantation window.

But, AF arrived on time, and in fact sent me reeling with pain in an ambulance to the hospital. It was like nothing before. They did bloods, no pregnancy had happened just a really really nasty AF.

Fx for all else! Have begun cycle 2 with eating for each phase of the cycle and supplementing to support each phase.

TMI, but my cervix is medium-high, soft and wet at 8/9dpo. Seems open but can't really tell. A few days ago it was in the low, hard position, usual position for post-ovulation. Could this mean anything or should I get off Mumsnet and stop overthinking everything!

MillieMoodle · 01/02/2015 17:51

Hi all, I took my last pill on 3rd Jan and not sure how long my cycles are. Pre-pill I had 35 day cycles but when DS was conceived I had a strong bfp on cd32. Current cd27. Tested about a million times over the last week and bfns every time. Thought I saw a faint line yesterday but nothing since so I was definitely imagining it! I've had painful nipples (yesterday), cramps last week and some pink-tinged cm (sorry if tmi!), plus nausea on and off, light headedness and very vivid dreams. Driving myself crazy at the moment! Help! Smile

cremedecacao · 01/02/2015 17:42

No, but I need some too :( work days are fine, but I am so miserable this weekend! Partly hormones (hoping pregnancy and not AF related...) but partly being fed up of waiting. Just want to skip forward 5 days!

potatopal · 01/02/2015 17:22

First proper try and I'm trying to be strong! Really shouldn't be focussing on every twinge but I am!Left hand side low down and it's fluttery twinge, barely there. I'm craving potatoes more than ever and white bread, naans, toast. Carb central. But, I'm a piggy when it comes to food so prob means nothing.
So strategies to cope with the wait until after Feb 5th (unless AF comes).. keep distracted with yoga, friends and family, work obvs, cleaning the house,going on this forum, watching repeats of Father Ted.
Things to focus on in case AF comes - treating myself to one glass of red wine. And researching holiday destinations in case we ever get the chance to have Winter Sun..
Other distraction tips girls?

Sorry Frantastic :( good luck for next month Flowers x

Frantasic · 01/02/2015 05:49

Looks like AF has arrived, I'm out. :/

Frantasic · 31/01/2015 11:32

Congrats sarkymare... Exciting.

Focusfocus · 30/01/2015 18:39

Wow congrats sarkymare! All the best x

sarkymare · 30/01/2015 18:22

I caved this morning and got a clear yet feint BFP at 8/9DPO. I'm waiting until the morning to test again with FMU incase it is an Evap.

Focusfocus · 30/01/2015 18:04

13 DPO today I thought and just realised I got my ovulation date wrong in all likelihood. Apparently your O happens within 36 hours of the OPK turning positive? Well my OPK turned positive on Saturday afternoon CD13 and I assumed I ovulated that day when in fact I may have ovulated Sunday or Monday judging by right sided twinges on those days.

Anyway, today is CD26, which could be 13 DPO or 11 DPO. Huge AF cramps as has been happening off and one in the tww, early morning pink spotting when I wiped, so I stuck a pad in. It's been 12 hours now and nothing since then. Not a spot.

I just want AF to come and the next cycle to start.

Lovemylittlebear · 30/01/2015 18:02

whoops i meant to say didnt ovulate for last 2 months (I hope I did this month as my OPK said I did but will get gp blood test back soon to see if I did or not)....otherwise id be on the wrong thread lol x

Lovemylittlebear · 30/01/2015 17:58

we are trying to conceive again after an ectopic and mc - with our first baby it was so much fun trying to conceive and now it feels miserable LOL - currently 6 days before period due and didnt ovulate since last mc. Had to start buying cheapy tests off amazon as my peestick addiction was costing us a fortune. Good luck everyone xxx

Frantasic · 30/01/2015 17:54

Hey... I am on about day 6 of TWW. However mines a little confusing as I'm not sure when I ovulated, and technically my AF is already late if I track my period from the length of my last cycle but I KNOW I ovulated very late this month.

Me and my partner got busy last weekend and I had signs of ovulation just before (Saturday afternoon)

In my previous 3 pregnancies I had symptoms very early, like within days. I don't know if I being a nutjob but I have some symptoms today that are very noticable. I have had hyperemisis with all of them. Sadly the last one ended in miscarriage despite HE.

Fatigue... Went to a funeral today and could bearly keep my eyes open and have felt like it all day.

Nausea.. Just waves like I'm gonna puke and then it goes off.

And just generally feeling odd. Can't explain it any other way.

Oh and I had right sided pain in my pelvis last night.

I keep checking to see if AF has come, but there's no sign. Not even PMS symptoms. I am driving myself crazy at the moment.

BabyBumpHopeful · 30/01/2015 17:10

This morning when wiping I got a little bit of brown. Admittedly a little excited as that doesn't normally happen to me, all other experiences have been red spotting the night before period starts, then a light flow the following day up to medium for 1 day, then light for 2, then spotting (yay for TMI!).

About 2 hours later at work I felt something and decided to check. This time it's bright red when I wipe so, "I'm out" I think, so says MN anyway...

BUT I found this link: implantationspotting.net/can-implantation-bleeding-be-bright-red-key-facts-revealed/

To be completely honest I'm 99% sure I'm out but I thought the link was interesting anyway :)

Glindathegoodwitch · 30/01/2015 14:06

I imagine that isn't nice focus ...

Dare I say I have just had about 20/30mis of cramps at 10dpo. Really don't feel like this is my month. The only symptoms are creamy CM and no sore boobs. I get sore boobs for a week before period is due but nothing yet. I do have my pre-period pimples though - I get 3 or 4 on the one side of my chin and they are here. Only other thing is creamy cm. No implantation bleed.

Flowers to the ladies suffering mc/mmc's

BuggerLumpsAnnoyed · 30/01/2015 13:30

Thats really interesting focusfocus im just going to try and wait it out till the 6th

Cheesymonster · 30/01/2015 09:55

I'm wondering if I had the same. This month and last month I had cramps at 8 and 9 dpo.

Focusfocus · 30/01/2015 07:30

I am out almost. Temps have dropped yesterday and today, 13 DPO, and period cramps and tearfulness have set in.

What does amaze me though is the massive, unprecedented AF cramps and temperature dip I had 6-8 DPO - I think fertilisation happened but for some reason a 3 day long attempt at implantation failed, which hurts.

Fx for all others here :)

cremedecacao · 30/01/2015 07:16

I've been feeling rubbish all week- tired, snuffly, sore throat, feeling a bit sick... which is how I felt before my last bfp, BUT I know it is much more likely to be the bug going round at work!

skitterscatter · 30/01/2015 06:48

Some really helpful stuff on here. I've had mild nausea at various times of day, dizziness, prickling feeling in boobs and been totally exhausted for about 10 days now. On the one hand, I'm sure it's way too early to get any symptoms but on the other, I've never had any of this before with af (and in any case, would PMS last this long?!). I cracked and tested today. BFN of course. Not 100% sure when I'm due as normally 28 days like clockwork but it was 34 last month, which would make me due on 4th Feb. Will try to hold out until at least 5th. Good luck everyone! Flowers

BabyBumpHopeful · 30/01/2015 03:53

I'm trying SO hard to hold out longer because the BFN yesterday (10dpo) is not helping with my thoughts I'm out this month. I'm symptoms galore truth be told, but as I was reading on here and also online (www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/lutealphase.html ) it makes sense why you experience symptoms during the 2ww.

I find myself feeling something and saying "Oh that's new!" and then second-guessing... "what if I just didn't normally notice it?"

Trying SO hard to be rational but failing :P 11dpo I think today. I think if I get a BFP it'll be Sunday but at this point I'm less hopeful with each passing day... I'd have to get to next weekend without AF to know whether I've really skipped or not (I think I should be 34 days but skipped Nov so my app has changed)

cremedecacao · 29/01/2015 22:01

Haha! It is SO tempting. I have a box of cheap internet tests that look at me every time I go to the loo. Should move them!

sarkymare · 29/01/2015 21:11

I think I ovulated around the CD13/14. I'm not sure though as it was my first time using OPKs and I cannot be sure wether the test line was actually darker than the control. Confusing things they are.

I plan on testing on Monday. I will be about 11DPO so the earliest I can test really. I have 3 tests in my drawer and I am just itching to use one now! I know It would be a BFN, of course it would be but I'm itching! Itching I tell you!

Must resist!

cremedecacao · 29/01/2015 21:06

Normally I am spot on 28 weeks, but ovulated on CD16 this month, a little later than usual. I will test 4 days before AF is due I think, or earlier if I have any symptoms. Sorry to hear about your experience Flowers
