Hey girls as we are about to get thrown out of our thread I have started a new one so we can continue manically looking for EWCM, sore (.)(.)s and orange feet whilst chanting 'in with love, out with BFNs'.

Come on over/in

Hi GG thats fab that you get to go on holidays for your 2ww, I went on holiday for the first week of my last 2ww and it passed the time sooo much quicker.

DG I hope you get the BFP on Saturday, fingers crossed for you.

I am using the OPK's again, I got a strong line last night but not strong enough to be a positive.

I've been getting awful cramps though yesterday and today. Like shooting pains and the're quiet strong taking my breathe away acctually but they aren't constant. Very strange

Hiya

Can I join? I am on the TTC waiting room thread but have not posted here before. I am on my first cycle of TTC #2. AF is sue saturday so I am at the exciting part of the 2ww.

OK I am going to start with a bang and ask a GROSS question...

Can a yeast infection be an early pregnancy sign???? I have one. I never have them. I may be clasping at straws but I thought it could be a sign (a rather nasty one).

What do you think?

GryffinGhoul · 24/10/2007 12:50

hello everyone! This thread moves sooooo fast!

Congratulations to Libralady we are so happy for you!!!! (and hoping that your fertility rubs off on the rest of us ). You'll need to keep popping in here to update us on your progress.

Dg, Bucky - Are you still meeting up in London? I'm coming if I am still invited!! I have emailed Bucky on her secret address about meeting up!

Excitable - Ia m exactly the same about resisting glasses of wine. i am rubbish at saying no and really enjoy a wee glass at the end of the day .

Pixie-4 - LOL at getting down to it early. I made DH do the same yesterday and say with a pillow under me listening to the radio for 15 minutes afterwards trying to drink a cup of tea lying down and spilling it everywhere! I am CD 14 so we are practically cyclebuddies !

07MTW - fingers crossed that AF is not on her way

hello to Claire (are you in London too?) Shreksmissus,picknmix,spooky, coolcat,cheekster and sorry to anyone missed

CD14 for me today (as I said already ) so poor DH is looking a little tired, but he's had excellent stamina so far . I'll be off on holiday for all of the 2WW, so if I am late I will be testing abroad if I am late (and will have to find a computer in the middle of the desert to log on and tell you lot one way or the other!)

digitalgirl · 24/10/2007 12:34

pixie just checked your cd on the other thread.sounds like you're gearing up for an ov soon. You on the opk's again? Drink loads of grapefruit juice to boost your ewcm!

digitalgirl · 24/10/2007 12:31

haven't had this many days of brown cm pre-af. most af's this year have been full on heavy red b@st@rds (as was the last one after 41 days).

not going to test till saturday as i genuinely think AF is just being weird because it's such a long cycle, hormonal imbalance and such. if i wasn't ttc, i'm sure wouldn't think anything of it.

pixie04 · 24/10/2007 12:06

brown CM but no AF DG sounds suspicous to me when did you do your last HPT? I think you should do another one tomorrow morning. Its sounds more like implantation than AF. Do you normally get brown CM a couple of days before AF? I do but thats because I have Endo apparently.

I keep getting really bad cramps which is very strange, they are really quiet strong as well.

digitalgirl · 24/10/2007 11:26

Nothing from me either! Stronger cramps this morning, and still a bit of brown CM, could be like this for a couple more days before AF really shows.

pixie04 · 24/10/2007 08:36

Morning ladies,

Hope everyone is doing okay this morning.

Nothing to tell from me. I had cramps all day yesterday but my OPK was BFN so we'll have to see what today brings. CD 15 no symptoms waiting for OV.

07mumstheword · 23/10/2007 21:49

Only yesterday I was thinking I hadn't seen you about for a while fairysnuff Hope BT sort your computer out soon.

I've got crampy pains and I've been evil today sure AF on her way.

spookykitty · 23/10/2007 13:17

I've had a BFP 4 days before AF is due though

I'm trying to be good as well NO TESTING

fairysnuff · 23/10/2007 13:17

Hello all, did ya miss me?
My computer is down for the moment (bloody BT) so I am on my mums at the mo, but haven't had a chance to read through, very far.
DG I am getting some of that brown stuff too. Really thought AF would turn up this morn but no, still just brown.
I am going to hold out until saturday to test, too, but I reckon she will turn up for real before that

Then again, it could just be implantation??

07mumstheword · 23/10/2007 12:51

Some impatient people test 4 days before AF. I'm going to resist that this month though

Cheekster · 23/10/2007 12:18

2 week wait - of course - now i feel even dumber

spookykitty · 23/10/2007 12:12

two week wait the time from ovulation until you can test to see if you are pregnant

could be longer or shorter than 2 weeks mine is 11 days for example

some impatient people test before the day AF is due (I know some people eh )

Cheekster · 23/10/2007 12:08

So sorry for being dumb but can someone please put me out of my misery and tell me what 2ww stands for. Ive been pondering for 3 days now.

spookykitty · 23/10/2007 12:04

Nothing much to report here sorry, still a full 8 LONG days to AF is due.

I had loads of EWCM last week but last BD was CD14 (long story) so not that hopeful, ov day was CD15 so have told DP if we do get pregnant it will be a girl and it's his fault and if he really wanted a boy he should have been up for more BDing so there, still if I get my little trio of girls I will be delighted. Sorry just off on one again....................

pixie04 · 23/10/2007 11:37

Thanks for the baby dust excitable hopefully it'll work for us. I'm booked up every night this week. Its great being so busy (I like it) but getting some alone time with DP is like finding a needle in a haystack. He's not normally a morning man so I was quiet lucky this morning. (also it set the day off to a great start )

Excitable · 23/10/2007 11:13

We might have to do some early morning BDing too. Somehow managed to get myself booked up for four nights out of five this week - somebody really should stop me! It's all good stuff, but I'm going to be exhausted. Must try to drink less too, as am rubbish at not drinking. I think that Mother Nature is waiting until I can show some willpower before she gives me the BFP that I want!

At least being so busy will take my mind off ttc... I think...

Congrats to Libralady and so pleased it happened for you so quickly this time. Every one is different...

Hope you're feeling better today SpookyKitty

Found all this baby dust under my desk at work. Here, have some:

pixie04 · 23/10/2007 11:01

DG hopefully its just an implantation bleed and not real AF.

You know what I was like I was in the desperatley hoping corner for a good few days after AF arrived.

pixie04 · 23/10/2007 10:54

YAY Libralady Congratulations! I'm really pleased for you. I hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy. Keep us updated with your real symptoms though we like to know what we should be looking out for hehehe.

Well not that you all want to know but DP and I got in some early morning BDing and even though I was going to be late for work I managed to stay horizontal (with a pillow under my bum) for a full twenty mins. Such a hardship lol. So I'm in a fantastic mood today and really hoping that I hatch my egg soon.

excitable well done you, not buying any HPT's yet. Wish I could be like that I've got five in our bathroom.

DG & Bucky sorry TEW turned up, but you guys get to have a meet up so your lucky and you can drink wine. I'm almost at the 2ww so no wine for me now until AF shows up.

digitalgirl · 23/10/2007 10:53

mob Not sure about the EPO, but you can stop drinking grapefruit juice after ov if you want, but doesn't hurt to keep drinking it.

Just posted on the Oct thread that I still don't have proper AF yet. She's dragging her pointy witchy heels. Will crack open the CBD on Sat if it's still like this. Can't believe I'm still hoping to be pg .

flosspot · 23/10/2007 09:50

Yippee Libralady- Congratulations, and see you 'on the other side' whenever you are ready.

Big batches of babydust to everyone else....

madoldbird · 23/10/2007 08:01

First of all libralady wow, congratulations. Great news - let's hope it brings a flurry of BFP's on this thread now!!!

Hello to everyone else. Sorry i have been absent for a few days (and i realise i should have written a letter first asking for official permission to be absent!!!)I had to go away for work for a few days. Lots seems to have been going on here, and i haven't had a chance to read through properly.

shrekmissus CD10 for us today - am impressed with the military style organisation. Hope it can rub off on me as well! I have been downing grapefruit juice and EPO (+starflower) in order to get top-notch CM to keep little swimmers happy. Am a little confused, though, do i stop both of those PO?? Am also using OPKs for the first time. Last 2 cycles were 26 days and 28 days so have done first one today on CD10 just to be on the safe side. Although i knew i wasn't ovulating today i still felt a bit of a failure not getting a smiley face!

Anyhow, i hope everyone is OK on this cold & frosty morning. Am going to look at the picture of your puppy now Bucky!

libralady · 23/10/2007 06:38

That should've read 'Thanks for everyone's congrats' - I'm getting a scrambled brain already!

libralady · 23/10/2007 06:37

Thanks to everyone's congrats. I'm still trying to get my head around it at the moment. I am a little shocked. It took me over 3 years to fall with DS and this time it's taken 4 months! There is hope for everyone.
