The 2ww Symptom Spotting continues....

Hello all another newbie respectfully requesting to join you and promising to make a coffee cake that will be ready in time for elevensees (gosh that was hard to spell, took me ages to figure it out!)

I had a m/c 2 weeks ago at 9 weeks and we decided to get trying again straight away, I got some cheapo OPK's from ebay that had free pg tests, tested Tuesday no surge, Weds couldn't really decide if it was same colour or slightly lighter. Stared at it a very long time, bd anyway just in case, yesterday it definitely looked like a surge to me so bd again. Now what do I do?

Oh yes and tried the pg test and it was negativeso think the hormones from the little one we lost have worked their way out.

Thanks Picknmix I try my best , all the Austrian air has given me this morning is earache, it was chilly on that walk to Kindergarten!

hello all. to those who have not had a good day and to those who have (hope that covers it!)

Good luck giving up coffee bucky. i went off it when i was pregnant with dd and had horrendous withdrawal symptoms.

symptom-wise today, been very tearful this evening, even cried watching eastenders and i am convinced my nipples have got darker (sorry if tmi). dh being non-commital, but think he is just trying not to encourage me in case i am imagining it!

Gosh, a busy day had by all!

DG I'm pleased to hear your day ended better than it started - enjoy the champagne

Anniemac I'm so sorry to hear of all your worries, it must be a very difficult time for you and your family.

Bucky good luck with the coffee abstinence.... Tried to convince my DH to give up coffee (read that it reduces fertility in men) but as he's just given up smoking (yay!) I think letting go of the coffee fix might be a step too far just now . Sorry to hear about your rubbish day at work - I'm blaming it on the chilly brr weather as my day was pretty crappy too!

Deb thank you for your wise words - not specifically to me but to everyone. The Austrian air obviously suits you as you always seem so calm and know the right things to say

Pixie hope the making up with dp goes ok tonight

I'm sorry to hear of your mc's herbaceous, I have my fingers crossed for you this month - no sanity tips I'm afraid, my sanity went out the door long ago

Hi to Gryffyn, Tigger, SK, Lockets and anyone else I've missed - special big hi to our 'founder' cbcb.

And finally good luck to Abby - hope things work out on a more even keel for you soon xx

PHEW! Thats what comes of not checking in more often!!!!

No symptoms here as only cd 12 although have wierd cm at the mo so am hedging my bets that might OV earlier this month. Have also started temping so as to get some kinda clue on my cycle!

hello people

anniemac - so so sorry about your DHs friend and for your AF turning up hope you turn that corner soon

DG - whats your amazing news at work (SK is v nosy) congrats anyway and enjoy your champagne

bucky - sorry you had a crap day maybe you should treat yourself to some champagne as well make up something to celebrate, Friday tomorrow, bet you looked great DHs think they are very funny sometimes.

SK waves to deb in austria and tigger

gryffin - I lived in London for 4 years, 4 years in Cambridge before that so after 8 years Caledonia called us back. DP also Scottish from same small town. Once we had DD1 I would have to have worked full time to afford a small house and with the commute wouldn't have seen her for 12 hours a day so I thought it wasn't worth it so we moved back up here, my career is down the toilet but I'm enjoying being a SAHM for the time being.

Hi Bucky - enjoy that wine!! Sorry you had a crap day at work, you can do without it can't you!!

Good luck with the coffee withdrawal symptoms

You'll probably be off it anyway soon when you get your bfp(there's some positive mental energy for you too)I couldn't drink tea or coffee when I was pg. I keep opening te coffe jar and hoping that I can't stand it and then I'd know!!

Deb

Anniemac - so sorry to hear about your friend and then the arrival of AF, I think you were wise to postpone your appointment

DG - So pleased that your day worked out so much better than it started!!

Deb

HI all trying to catch up with this new thread but moves so quickly.

Hope you all ok, i'm on CD22 and ov 12days ago, have been feeling sick and poss sore boobs but just in my head, have done a test but neg and far to early, want to test again but know it will be negative so set myself a wait until sun am when will be 15days since ov + test.

got a really gripey tummy but think that a bit or IBS from worrying bout trying to move house.

feeling bit low tonight so bound to be PMS, I started this promising to be relaxed and with a what will be attitude and become obsessed, my thoughts are with you trying to concieve your first one I feel very selfish

anniemac for AF...hope your luck changes soon.

herbaceous smelly wee? Is it the wee, or has your sense of smell heightened (which is definitely a pg symptom)

GG have fun tonight! Hope your DH manages to stay awake

pixie you have fun tonight too!

Well, funny how the day has turned out. From waking up depressed and empty - to now having just had some amazing news at work that has totally cheered me up. We've cracked open the champagne, I'm going for a celebratory drink before going home to an already informed DH who is also really pleased for me!
I know it's not a BFP, but it's nearest I'm going to get to one at this rate!!!!!!!!!

herbaceous - smelly wee? have you eaten asparagus ?

Anniemac - I am so sorry to hear about your berevement. I hope you are ok and managing. Good luck for the consultant visit tonight and so sorry AF turned up . You have had a tough time of it recently.

sweetkitty - I live in London, but I'm from Glasgow. i am hoping that DH and I will move back there in a couple of years to srttle for good, although he is not Scottish and is worried about fitting in, bless him. I miss the place a lot.

DG - well done on your presentation. Now you can go home and put your feet up or seduce DH!

hello Bucky, Pixie, Picknmix, deb, herbaceous and everyone else. Sorry to anyone missed.

CD14 for me, so it's downhill alll the way on the 2WW if I did ovulate early. i am going out tonight, but have told DH to wait up for me. Poor man left the house at 5.30am, so I'd better not be too late!

New symptom: smelly wee.

DG well done on the presentation. I don't hold my wee for four hours I've never been able to do that. I try and not drink anything for the last hour that I'm in work and then do a test about and hour after I get home.

anniemac that's so sad, hope you and your dh are ok.

abbymeg totally understand, we'll all be waiting for you when you're back on the TTC game. (I'm sure I'll be here when you're all TTC'ing the next one!)

today's presentation went well. am thoroughly exhausted. might go home now. have not done my boots opk test yet, as i've not had a chance to hold my wee for 4 hours.

dg x

Oh you poor thing that's awful (((HUGS))) for you. I'm so sorry it really is a horrible thing to be dealing with.

So much to catch up on.....

Abby I can't believe your leaving us (even if temporary). I understand though, I am tempted sometimes to just go back on the pill and forget about it all as I'm so stressed. I always end up thinking maybe next month and of course never do it. Hope some time out helps you, as the others have said maybe don't prevent anything from happening eg using contraceptives just stop watching you CD and stuff and let what happens happens. Hope this works out for you. ((((HUGS)))))

anniemac are you okay, your post are really short, what else is it that you have to worry about this month? I'm the same I get so excited about getting a + OPK because now I know what a + HPT should look like hehehehe.

Hello Newbies! Hello everyone else who I have missed because of my self absorbedness and a special wave to cbcb

Thanks for all your support about my ovulation issue. As I do an OPK every night last night was my first + so now I'm thinking I may just be on my way to ovulating so will do my best to make up with DP tonight!

I don't know where I'd be without this thread, crying at my desk at work I think

pixie - I thought it was LH surge THEN egg was released 12-24 hours later so all is not lost for you. Don't stress too much about it ((((hugs))))

Herb - welcome to the thread although unfortunately I "know" you from the mc thread but heres hoping we both get a nice BFP soon that sticks

anniemac - thats so annoying for you, I knwo you just want AF to turn up so you can start another cycle

Gryffingirl - yes I reside in sunny (but cold) Scotland whereabouts are you?

Welcome and hello to herbaceous and katendmom ! lots of lovely symptoms spotters here. I'm so sorry to hear of your mc's herbaceous. You sound so positive and strong.

Pixie - don't cry , . I think an egg survives for 12-24 hours. That's what most of the websites say. I have been BD-ing like mad just before the middle of my cycle (i am not using the OPKs at the moment) because the little swimmers survive longer -up to three days inside you and sometimes as long as five - so I figured that if we BD'ed early, they should be lying in wait ready to pounce on my little hatchling!

digital - hope youare ok today and the puffy eyes are subsiding. I think we are all going off on one at the DH/Dp's. I know DH has been feeling the pressure.

Abbeymeg - thinking of you. We'll all be here and you must pop in form time to time to say hello wther you are tTC or not. Sometimes it's not a break from TTC you need, but a break from MN. I stayed away for a while when everything was getting too much (lots and lots of BFP's on other threads, everyone falling like ninepins and I felt jealous, which I am not very proud of). It was getting me down and we stopped TTC for a month or two and it did me the world of good .

hello everyone else.

sweetkitty - are you a fellow Jock ? use of the word "wee" hints that you might be
