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

morning ladies

firstly big congrats to all those who have got BFP we will be joining you soon (i hope)

well im now 10dpo and the only symptoms i have is loads of cm and wanting to sleep all day, one strange thing is i always get vvv sore (.)(.) a week before af due and currently have nothing(af due wed pm/thur am) so fingers crossed that the evil witch doesnt show herself and i get bfp on friday. Im purposley NOT leaving the house today coz i know i will end up in chemists spending a fortune on pg tests, i will resist them till af is late

GryffinGirl · 05/11/2007 10:15

shreksmissus and starlight - I agree! This is the longest most paaaaiiiiinfully dull 2WW ever. CD26 today for me and so I am getting pretty close to when I can test with a usual 28 (approx) cycle, so I am like a cat on a hot tin roof today. I want to be like sleeping beauty - can i go to sleep about CD14 and DH can wake me up with a kiss when I am either in possession of a big fat BFP or back at CD1 ??

The thing is that the longer this TTC lark goes on (cycle 10/11 for me) the less I want to put my life on hold, like not drinking and being super careful with diet. I thought I'd get more desperate and more committed to doing every little last thing as time marched on, but to be honest I have gone the other direction . Grapefruit juice (which I actually like) and folic acid are no big sacrifice, but it does get tedious, or is that just nasty impatient me ??

07MTW - pink grapefruit juice is much nicer than the really sour yellow stuff, if you don't like the teste.

Bucky - if you have broken your OPK, does that mean you are back to playing cervical persuits?

hello to DG coolkat and pixie.

I am off to do soem work today before I am sacked. Three ladie sin my office have announced they are PG and they all sit in my section of the office, so I hope that it is catching!

sarahnh · 05/11/2007 10:06

good morning ladies, well its monday again yeck! just thought i would give you an update of my funny body!! On cd32 today and still no AF! did pgt over the weekend and surprise surprise BFN. i am getting very frustrated becasue i really don't seem to be understanding my body at all. As you know i had a bfp on my opk kit on cd13 so techncially speaking AF should be here.. so question is how heavily should you rely on these opks?? still have really sore nips, pains in my tummy,back, cm, so i am truly at a loss!! And also how can i have 8 months of 29/31 day cycles and then start to have really long ones? i came off the pill in dec so it cannot still be that can it?? Sorry for the long post but sarahnh is one confused lady and needs the lovely mn ladies help!x

pixie04 · 05/11/2007 09:27

Well if I OV'd at the start of last week then no I just have 1 ww left but if I didn't OV till the end of last week then I've got almost the full 2ww. I have very irregular long cycles the last one was 35 days and the one before that was 71 days. I think this one will be between 35 - 40 days. (says me after consulting the crystal ball) its a pain in the arse though because its hard to work out when AF is acctually late.

07mumstheword · 05/11/2007 08:55

Morning Pixie, the waiting room list shows you are CD27 so do you really have 2 weeks to go? The symptoms sound good! Fingers crossed.

pixie04 · 05/11/2007 08:49

Good morning ladies,

I'm not sure how many DPO I am as I'm not sure when I OV'd as I spent a whole week trying to (I think) but I am starting the shamless symptom spotting anyway....

Symptoms today are

Constipation
Bloatedness
Mild cramping (possibly to do with constipation)
still some less frequent OV type pain
Sore sensetive nips (could be post OV sore nips tho)

God this 2ww is going to be a long one.

07mumstheword · 04/11/2007 21:51

Penguinmum Congratulations! Wonderful news.

Superblastofflips I had the runs when I was out with friends for a meal and the following day I got a BFP! They say you are likely to get constipation but I think I go the other way. Fingers crossed it is a symptom for you.

GG Your DH came up trumps then? He still has a little more grovelling (sp?) to do.

DG I started on the grapefruit juice today, yuk is it an aquired taste?

Bucky lol at Finn's grand entrance! Sounds like he is taking your mind off TTC in more ways than one!

Hello to everyone else

I'm CD8 and started bd'ing every other day until nearer 'O' day when we will try every day, can't do more than that! . I've had unusual CM but think it's mixed with DH's you know what. Sorry tmi! I'm going to start OPK tomorrow or Tuesday I think. I know I'm not really on the right thread for this but hey ho I feel I can tell you lot anything here!

I have broken my CBD Opk thingy. I still had two sticks left too...arghhhh.

Now I will have to go back to the old fashioned way as am too poor to buy more this month unless I get cheapy web ones...

Your weekend sounds lovely GG glad your DH went some way to making things up, although hold out for the jewellery I say

GG glad you had a nice weekend, we are the same here tested early got a BFN and holding out hope for that vital BFP next weekend.

Lets hope this week goes fast

GryffinGirl · 04/11/2007 18:55

hello hello - I'm back from lovely night away. DH took me to Windsor. Didn't see the queen, but we did kick leaves in the autumn sunshine in Windsor Great Park, which was brilliant and the hotel was lovely. If any of you ladies ever want a night away with your DH/DP, I'd recommend it!

penguinmum - congratulations !!!!! So pleased for you !!

well, I am CD25 today so getting near the time. Symptoms are:

sore (.)(.)
ravenous hunger (still! )
really, really tired (but that might be to do with having a...erm...late night with DH in our hotel room )

I did an early test (slap me!) and it was BFN [sad}, but it was early and as everyone always says it's not over until the AF lady appears!

Anyway, I have decided to stretch out my being spoiled weekend I am off for a warm bath with candles and a copy of Hello!

coolkat · 04/11/2007 17:40

Rahhh just typed a message and it disappeared.

Well did a test on DH orders and got a BFN[SAD]

Just want next month to come so I can plan and track better, feel so fed up and don't know why, not had a good weekend, had an argument with DM and not managed to BD once! Very jealous of your twice pixie.

PMSL at you Bucky, Finn picked his moment!!

Anyway sorry for a rant off to open large bar of galaxy... anyone want some?

pixie04 · 04/11/2007 16:39

Hello Ladies

Have had such a busy weekend haven't caught up with all the posts but I did see the BFP from pengiunmum CONGRATULATIONS!

DG DP and I took your advice to keep BDing until cervix low and hard and we managed to BD twice yesterday! Yep that's right, once AM and once PM. Gosh we haven't done that for a looong time. Not that you want to know but am very pleased about it.

I am on 7th day of OV pains although they have become less frequent (ie not constant) Cervix is firm but still a bit high and nips hurt so am sure I'm done ovulating. I think I am officially on the 2ww now

superblastofflips · 04/11/2007 11:36

well im very gassy too
I dont think it gonna happen this time as ive hardly touched Dp....BD with him twice before his back went!.. good timing! Ill never know till in the next 2 weeks.

digitalgirl · 04/11/2007 11:25

1dpo is the day after you've ovulated!

Symptoms sound good lips
erm, except for the runs....that doesn't sound good, purely from a physical point of view, but maybe it's a symptom just for you.

superblastofflips · 04/11/2007 11:19

morning girls...i went out last night with my friends for a meal adn ended up in the toilet having the runs. blardy ell!...it was painful!. For thepast 2 days my breasts is so heavy and sore but this is normal. i need super protection bra for my big boobs so my dd is not bouncing on them - OUCH!!

i want to know when is the first day of DPO??

digitalgirl · 04/11/2007 10:55

GGGGGRRRRRRRRR!!!! Just wrote out a post and my stoooopid laptop lost it. here it is again:

I'm CD8 and AF has most definitely, definitely gone!

Am officially on CM-watch, which can be difficult after a morning BD.

bucky lol at naughty little Finn, he will have to learn. Good for you getting a new-doo, a little bit of self tlc is just what we all need.

clairePO my sympathies - 18 days is a loooong time. However, now I'm charting on FF I will be doing my very best to wait as long as possible, my last two cycles taught me to be very patient.

mob You never know, you may have had a super-fast egg in which case 4dpo isn't too early to get symptoms.

All those on the 2ww, what dpo are you all? Be good to see who's next in line for testing!!

Enjoy your Sundays, it's a sunny day in North London and my mum is doing a Sunday Roast! Yum yum.

ClairePO · 04/11/2007 09:37

Morning, fertility friends is telling me I'm 3dpo but as its my first cycle with them saying they recommend I test at 18dpo I know I'll never wait that long. Never ever. Sooooo impatient!

Congrats Penguinmum, also left my congrats in the baby waiting room

Bucky2007 · 04/11/2007 08:00

Good morning . Well its all quite hysterical here at Chez de Bucky this morning. There we were getting down to some BDing (or beginning to anyway) and Finn literally ambushed us, launching himself at about 100 miles an hour onto the bed and more precisely onto our snogging heads . He sleeps downstairs, DP had let him out to do his business and come back to bed and he snuck up...it was the funniest image ever. It was really hard to be mad at him. Needless to say the BDing ended once again. I can see why babies put a spanner in the works, but at this rate there will be no baby . All the same we have pledged to try again later!

Hope you all are having a good weekend.

Bucky2007 · 03/11/2007 19:52

Yay Penguinmum hurrah for your BFP! How fab.

gryffingirl hahaahahahahha You crack me up ...of course, why didn't I think of that...Pixie's DP must be able to hold her in his hand!! pmsl. I'm sure he is a gentle giant though .

Ooh got a new haircut today...got it all chopped of and have a kind of pob going on. It looks good now, lord knows what it will be like when I wash it . Anyway, forgot to do my opk and when i got round to it I had drunk loads of water and had peed less than an hour before. It was negative, but that means nothing really given the circumstances so I will BD anyway.

Hi dg and happy weekend to everyone else. Especially Pixie and her BFG.
