Thanks Gx and sorry you are still getting cramps. My experience with fetal doppers is that you need to be about four months pregnant before you can hear the heartbeat and even then, it can be difficult. I know I got one but I do think they can cause more worry than anything else.

Sorry you are still in limbo Pulled. Did you chart or test for ovulation?

Peyia great to hear from u , glad alls well and so exciting he showing , ul b feeling movements soon X
Pulled so glad ur dad is feeling better Smile shame u got a bfn tho fx it's just late ovulation and u tested too early ( I got pregnant on a 38 day cycle and didn't get BFP until later in the month ) good luck ! X
Fiddle , Mimi ,Jen and all TWW ( sorry if I scroll bk I loose what Iv written ) good luck can't wait to see some more success stories X I love reading about early symptoms so feel free to share !!
Fuzzy - I know it's hard work peeing on OPKs all the time and having to dtd eod ! Becomes part of ur life , I think taking a relaxed approach is good when u need to otherwise u would go mad and who nose mibi no stress and having fun is the way to go , I wish u so much luck for this cycle , it will happen soon Smilex
Kellz , hope ur feeling better soon ! Migraines r the worst ! I get them a lot too but have been prescribed maxalt and it's a life saver ! Hope it eases for h and u can relax in a dark room , hats off to u if u can dtd ! X

I had a bit of a scare last night waking up every few hours with extreme cramping , In the hours I was getting sleep i was dreaming I was in labour , was so painful .
Called triage first thing this morning and the said to rest and see if it calmed down and to check for bleeding , and the cramping soon settled and there was no blood , was really strange still don't know what caused it Confused really tempted to buy a fetal Doppler now to try find a heartbeat bug I don't want to get into that paranoid frame of mind X x

Pulledapart2015 · 26/01/2016 11:16

morning all,
thanks mimi dad is doing good. I've already spend the morning chasing his home visit from nurse Angry no one seems to do anything right these days!

still no AF and I'm on cycle day 38. did a clear blue test this morning thinking the cheapy ones may not be working and got not pregnant these are pretty accurate right so guess I might as well now wait for AF to start Sad

peyia how lovely u r showing that makes it all the more real. congratulations if I haven't said it already Flowers

Gx how u getting on? hope all is well x

at f1ddlesticks hoggle kellz jennie fuzzy hope u all are having a good day so far xxx

f1ddlesticks · 26/01/2016 11:03

Thanks Mimi! Hope you get a BFP next time you test... It's a killer isn't it?

I'm trying not to symptom spot but part of me wants to post every twinge on here! At least being at work makes the days go a bit quicker.

FuzzyOwl · 26/01/2016 09:33

Thank you Mimi.

Hope everyone is doing ok today. Anyone testing soon?

Thanks Hoggle

HoggleHoggle · 25/01/2016 21:23

Fuzzy in case it helps at all I had precisely no pg symptoms when I got my bfp, I tested on day 28 just because I thought I should - bfn - tested day 32 and bfp. But at no point did I feel pg - so don't rule yourself out yet!

FuzzyOwl · 25/01/2016 20:16

Hope your migraine eases Kellz and you don't miss ovulation. I don't know if it will help you but I used to suffer really badly with migraines and regular neck, back and shoulder massages made a massive difference. Then again, my migraines were generally stress related so if your ones are hormones or something else, it might not do anything other than feel nice. The woman who did them for me used to be extra general because of all the tender points I have in my back, neck, chest and shoulder area, so I was able to (generally) enjoy most of it instead of it hurting.

jennie, the 2ww always drives me nuts! I have become brilliant at finding every single possible symptom imaginable and am then so baffled by the BFN and AF! I hope your symptoms will result in a BFP though.

I agree about learning about all the things my body does in the 2ww that I was never aware of before f1ddlesticks.

So, I am trying to convince myself that waiting until I got a positive opk to start DTD is ok but I have been stupidly reading up loads on how you need to start the day before the positive. I guess I will know in a couple of days but I have really struggled to make up any pregnancy symptoms this week and that really can't bode well for a BFP on Wednesday. Although since I have given up testing, I guess my odds of getting a BFP have drastically decreased! Grin

f1ddlesticks · 25/01/2016 19:49

Hi ladies... Sorry about the migraine Kellz, hope it isnt a bad one. Do you think you've DTD at the right times if you got yr peak today?

I'm 6dpo now. Only symptom that's raised an eyebrow is a feeling like heart palpitations a few times today which was a symptom last time. Other than that nothing strikes me as unusual! (I've learned over the last few months that I pee a lot anyway, I often feel queasy in the morning and have all kinds of twinges in the 2nd half of my cycle that I'd never noticed before!)

Kellz92 · 25/01/2016 19:40

Mimi thanks for thinking of me. So sorry AF showed up. I've been quiet because I've been busy. Got my peak today, but got a migraine brewing and feeling sick. Had a lot of migraines lately xx

jennielm · 25/01/2016 19:36

OMG the 2WW is already driving me nuts and this could just be the first of many!! Wierd feelings atm though, like waking up this morning feeling trembly and nauseous. Peeing like a trooper too...honestly, interpretting everything in an optomistic (worried that it'll turn to sadness) way is very draining.

If AF visits me I'm gonna need some serious "hold my self together" advice...not at all sure i like this ride!!

Hopefully AF is not getting ready to visit me or any of you other lovely ladies on your 2WW. For those of you she got, there's always Wine and Cake until next month. Might just make this my mantra too...

FuzzyOwl · 25/01/2016 19:29

Glad your dad is doing much better now Pulled. Hope you get a BFP with your next test.

OP posts:
Peyia · 25/01/2016 19:27

Mimi I'm so nervous and excited for you. Praying AF stays away and there's a little bean snuggling in!!! Oh I really hope it is.

Congrats to those with BFP! Wishing you all a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Hoggle the first trimester is torture. I had cramps, it's the uterus stretching etc. hope you are ok though.

G, are you going for the private scan? Must be hectic planning a move now. We're stupidly embarking on an extension Confused I'm feeling a lot better, 15+1 and showing (front and back)

Pulledapart2015 · 25/01/2016 18:26

Pulledapart2015 · 25/01/2016 18:22

hey all,
fuzzy still getting a BFN Sad but I've been peeing like a mad woman all day so symptoms continue. cramping is still there and I'm so bloated I feel like I've ate a cow LOL. it could all be AF coming soon aside from the peeing Hmm so will continue to watch this space. on a side note Dad is doing much better thankfully so I feel a little less stressed Smile Hope ur doing well today xxx

fx and toes crossed for us all that the wicked witch stays away and so haooy tp hear those with a BFP are doung so well xxx

FuzzyOwl · 25/01/2016 17:07

Hello everyone and hope all is going well.

Great news about your scan Gx.

Lovely scan pictures Shorty and glad all is going well.

Any news Mimi? Pulled? Anyone else testing?

Hope the cramps ease Hoggle.

OP posts:
HoggleHoggle · 25/01/2016 16:17

Thanks g, they are less bad today and no bleeding so am trying to relax! If they come back that strongly again I think I will call the epau x

Gx91 · 25/01/2016 15:20

Hoggle - try not to worry , I'm sure alls fine , I had severe cramps early on and still on the odd day ( always caused by trapped wind ) pretty scary at the time but it's probably just those dam hormones again , u can call the early pregnancy unit at ur hospital if ur worried and nd reassurance X hope the cramps stay away ! And hope the time passes quickly for ur scan xx
Mimi - how u getting on ? Hope AF had stayed away ?! X
Hope all those in TWW aren't suffering too much ! Stay strong and good luck !! Grinx

HoggleHoggle · 25/01/2016 09:54

Hello all! Hope you're all ok in your tww and everyone had good weekends.

Mimi has af stayed away still? Crossing fingers for you!

Hopelass I hope dh feels better soon and you can get on with dtd!

I had horrible stomach and back cramps yesterday, really quite painful. I had stretching with ds but this was much worse. It's always such a worry but trying to keep positive. I have booked an early scan for mid Feb when I'll be about 9 weeks, just to reassure myself.

Mimilicious013 · 25/01/2016 08:36
