Hugh enjoys ISW and his love affair with Doreen. He watches out for skittle tits and weepyitis. Mrs Arseholey Fucknut (Af) shows up when you least want her but brings wine and soft cheese as a consolation prize.

We don't have rules as such but expect to be talked down from the ledge with kind and well meaning but firm words if you get too hysterical. But most importantly don't convince yourself you're pregnant in the tww That is paramount! It messes with your head and makes you crazy crazier

We don't get a lot of baby dust in these here parts. We want a fanny full of determined Doreen, not unicorn farts and gnome tears with extra sparkle. We've been going a while now so the novelty has somewhat worn off and we're slightly battle scarred and bruised in the cervix area.

Post your stats and add your dates. A more lovely, supportive group of ladies you couldn't wish to meet. We've got a few grads sticking around I won't leave and no question is too daft. We have opk experts, cervical mucus management teams and symptom spotters extraudinaire!

Wingingit i get the exact same thing its so annoying !! When you go and dont see blood you are releived but not really as af can still show up I swear these two days are the worst !
Ovia says creamy cm can mean both af and pregnant which is really helpful !!

Cramps are getting worse here .. Hope af doesnt arrive untl i am home !
Spotting started on saturday but stoped today so i am thinking it was left over blood from smear test rather than af

WingingIt83 · 14/06/2016 15:29

Sorry tmi but I seem to have a lot of cm at the mo which means constantly feeling the slight 'dripping' sensation just like when AF arrives. Not helping reduce the need to visit the loos!
I get that each month so not taking it as a positive sign

Modestandatinybitsexy · 14/06/2016 15:10

Haha Sucha aware of my knicker region is exactly right! Good luck with your IUI !

nicky883 · 14/06/2016 14:11

Sucha is this the forst time you have done iui ? How long have you been trying ? Fingers crossed for you !!

SuchaJem · 14/06/2016 13:53

Right there with you ladies HmmEnvy

AF due Friday and she feels imminent. Never more aware of my knicker region than these few days!

I'm crampy windy too hot my tits hurt... But at least my mood has improved. I was a Woman On The Edge yesterday!

WingingIt83 · 14/06/2016 13:03

modest ditto! I had to take a detour past the stationary room last time so I could return to my desk clutching post-it notes as the reason for my 2nd disappearance of the morning! Blush

Snowdog37 · 14/06/2016 13:02

I agree with you all! The 2ww sucks! I'm 12dpiui, exhausted as I didn't sleep at all last night, just did that infuriating tossing and turning thing. I don't know wtf my body is playing at but today I just have a filthy temper and feel fat and tired and annoyed at everything. I'm not testing til Thursday when the clinic will run a blood test. Roll on Thursday afternoon when I'll know what the deal is!

Modestandatinybitsexy · 14/06/2016 12:54

Nicky & Winging 2ww(+) is THE WORST! Out of control is definitely the feeling. I don't know about you guys but my body never does what I expect it to do!

AF arriving while I'm at work would be devastating and then I'd have to pretend like I'm fine. I have the worst back pain today and I'm checking my pants every half and hour! I swear everyone must think I have a UTI or something...

marmitetoast1 · 14/06/2016 12:18

Thanks lovelyfishy I'm not sure whether it actually woke me up or if I woke because I needed a wee and was then aware of the pain Hmm

nicky883 · 14/06/2016 11:28

Wingingit the thing i dread the most is having af arrive while am at work ! And i am kind of feeling it nowAngry

WingingIt83 · 14/06/2016 11:07

Nicky I agree tww is much worse than the wait for FW, I think because at this stage it's completely out of our control.

nicky883 · 14/06/2016 10:53

Dont you kadie think the 1 2 days before expected period are the worst? ! I keep going to the loo checking if the bitch has arrived !not to mention it affects my ability to concentrate at work therefore my productivity as well !
I hate these two days the most such an emotional rollecoaster i never thought making a baby would be this damaging to youe mental health Hmm

LovelyFishy · 14/06/2016 10:50

Marmite what I assume is my ov pain is a sudden sharp twinge, lasts only a second or too and is gone. I don't feel it every month, it wouldn't be enough to wake me if I was asleep. But again I've always just assumed that's what it is. Maybe it's just gas!!

marmitetoast1 · 14/06/2016 09:48

Yes wingingit that's exactly whatit feels like this morning, a stitch. I'm CD18 and noticed ewcm on CDs 14 and 16. Which I guess roughly fits with my longish cycles? Hmm

Fx re temps winging it I think a positive attitude in general can be a helpful thing, but the flip side as you say is the potential disappointment..

WingingIt83 · 14/06/2016 09:10

suchajem I'm forcing myself to wait until the weekend when I'd be 4-7 days late. As I think I didn't ov until cd18 it probably wouldn't show up yet anyway.

hank some similar things to kwick above; walnuts, leafy greens, 1000mg vit C, a bit B complex with b6 in it. One thing I've failed on is more cholesterol type foods like butter and eggs -supposed to help boost progesterone.

marmite I get sudden pains almost like a stitch most months which I thought might be ovulation but last month they happened on about cd10 and I didn't get ewcm until cd18

Temps still high this morning, dropped a bit from the peak on Sunday but still higher than rest of cycle.....I don't know whether to think positive and therefore set myself up for disappointment or just assume AF is coming Confused

Modestandatinybitsexy · 14/06/2016 09:02

Thanks for all the welcomes! I hope you're all doing well today. Seems like most are in a similar position in your 2ww and I'm keeping everything crossed for you Smile

I'm feeling pretty uncomfortable today. Although I'm on the 5:2 and today is a starve day so that's going to contribute.

I'm trying not to symptom spot but this is the longest my cycle has been for over 6 months now and it's really hard not to get my hopes up!

bluebird3 · 14/06/2016 08:20

Fx those temps stay high wing

hank I'm 7dpo...I hate this part to the 2ww!

marmitetoast1 · 14/06/2016 08:20

Ps hope everyone who is trying to hold off from poas is managing to stay strong!!

marmitetoast1 · 14/06/2016 08:19

Morning all! So I have a question - wondering what Ov pains actually feel like?!
I thought (through purely amateur guesswork based on cm and levels of friskiness) that I had already Ov'd at weekend, maybe Saturday. Woke up in the early hours of this morning however with a sort of sharp-ish tugging/twiging pain pretty much right where right ovary would be.
I do suffer from ibs so get lots of weird twingey pains Grin but this felt different and was in different area. I also went to a pilates class last night, so could be a random twingey muscle!
I lay awake with it for about 20 mins. This morning it's eased but still a bit tender and 'pully' feeling in same area. Does this match with what anyone else experiences and knows is Ov pains?
I'm fairly certain I didn't have this last 2 months, but this could well be the first time I've Ov'd post-pill! If that was Ov we do at least still have 3 instances of having dtd in the last 5 days.

HankPeach · 14/06/2016 08:16

wingingit temps going is definately a good sign! Fingers crossed. What supps are you taking to lengthen luteal?

Good luck to all those waiting patiently to testing this week. (Thanks kwick Wink)

I'm 8 dpo today and due Sunday I think. Absolutely no symptoms other than filthy pms...

Evergreen17 · 14/06/2016 08:11

Hi ladies

Thanks for all the congratulations Smile

I am still lurking over here and checking my knickers on the hour Blush

FXSkip · 14/06/2016 04:50

Bloody hell kwick that's a hell of a strange diet (furiously writes shopping list) I've been consuming cheese rolls, beer and tequila for the last few weeks while on TWW so if that works I'll be very surprised.

I'm with kwick and starky - try not to test for as long as possible. Sod's law it won't show +ve until you're in the delivery room anyway (remember choc??) and it will save you a great deal of that apparently awful limbo where you can't tell anyone or do anything. FX for you ladies in limbo land though, all I can say is distract yourself!!

SuchaJem · 13/06/2016 22:55

What's with the warm feet and kidneys ?

kwick · 13/06/2016 21:20

SA = sperm analysis

I feel very guilty now... I have a duty to starky to not entice cray-cray.... Please ALL hold out on testing unless you are well past AF due date!!!

Ok so here is what I did on first IVF cycle and I did get BFP...even if it did not last:
I drank copious amounts of whole fat organic milk in weeks prior to ovulation - this is for egg quality. After ovulation I stopped and went back to normal levels as too much can impede implantation.
For first 5 days of 2ww I ate a fifth of a fresh pineapple each day including the core.
During 2ww I kept feet and kidneys warm at all times
During 2ww I tried to laugh as much as possible
I used a visualisation CD especially for IVF - however even if you are not doing IVF do not under estimate the power of positive thinking/visualisation
For egg quality I was taking COq10, vitamin E, vitamin d, vitamin b complex and eating lots of avocado, walnuts, cinnamon, eggs and other fertility boosting foods and quite a few foods that are not
On day of egg transfer and days after I dosed up on cayenne pepper (yuck!) as said to take blood down to nether regions
That is about it I think...

nicky883 · 13/06/2016 20:24

Welcome modest i hope your long journey ends soon with a long wanted bfp !

Please share any info kwick !

No full blown af yet for me some minor brown spotting again today which is a bit aticky and weird !
