The 2ww Symptom Spotting continues....

GG when are you testing? Are you a 28 dayer or a 30 dayer?? I'd probably be just about ov'ing on CD23 (if I get lucky this cycle!).
I think no symptoms is a good sign, look at sweetkitty she had none and got a BFP!

cbcb hello girl! have you moved yet? any chance of persuading DH to give TTC'ing another go?

Morning all!

Bucky - you are not dead . Can you speak or are you comminucating in grunts and whistles . I'd write to Mr Muscle and tell him that his product nearly killed you, but that you won't complain furhter if they give you a lifetime supply

DG - good luck with the egg hunt. Glad you are feeling better! Was laughing at you reading the sex columns more intently. I have been doing the same to try and keep things interesting when TTC.

Pixie - I had the same thing last month. I am convinced I ovulated twice, but even with a double shot, nothing happened which is all rather disappointing, but shan't dwell on it . Who was it on this thread that said they were an eternal optimist? That's def me at the meoment. Maybe excitable or DG? Bucky?

CD 23 and nothing of interest to report - slightly sore (.)(.) last night, but that's faded this morning, very mild cramping, CM, spots (lots !) and huge amounts of impatience! This has been the worst wait my MILES. I am sooo impatient this month.

hedgepig - they sound like very promising symptoms

hello to 07MTW, exctable, sarah etc.

Hi I'm going scatty here. I have sore boobs and nipples; more so than usual, nipples also redder than usual and the gland bits seem more pronounced plus more CM than usual (sorry about the number of usuals above)

BUT I have cramps like my AF is about to start and some slight bleeding, I'm not due till Sunday

am I kidding myself?

Sounds like lots of hopeful symptoms going on here. I hate the 2ww but being on cd5 I'm rather wishing I was on it. How strange it this TTC lark, of course I want a BFP at the end of it this time!

starlight It's the thought that counts and you can't get much more thoughtful than a beautiful presentation of a wee stick!

Bucky glad you're ok today. You were in my neck of the woods today, I live 20 minutes away from Bath.

there you are!!!

starlight lol at wee stick pressie!

pixie keep bd'ing, do not stop, I repeat, do not stop. Remember when I got the opk+ on CD20 and then my cervix went completely soft for four days leading up to CD35? I thought it was a PG symptom, it was actually me ov'ing. keep bd'ing and only start counting dpo once your cervix has dropped back down again!

bucky are you ok? are you out there? have you poisoned yourself and DP? will I have to rally the MN troops to come resuscitate you? who will feed Finn his cream cheese?

sarahnh sorry our can you go to another doctor and tell them you've been ttc for a year already? it's horrible when you just want some answers and the whole ttc thing is so unpredictable.

am cd5, have shaken off yesterday's bug (temp stayed the same this morning - yay), AF has gone, have fingers crossed for early ov this cycle...having all sorts of weird boob and ov-type sensations. am polishing my binoculars ready for the long egg hunt ahead.

Sarah all this stuff like ... you mustn't be too heavy or too light or too old or too unfit or drink too much is so frustrating because it is all averages. I am the opposite end of the BMI spectrum to you but I conceived very quickly at over 35 for my DS when looking at all the "advice" I shouldn't have done. However trying for number 2 is a completely different kettle of fish I agree with you if you are fit and healthy you should be OK, ttc is stressy enough without adding another thing to worry about !

no i haven't yet anniemac, i have been to the docs twice in the last month, once with very late period ( she said that it was one of those things) and second i was bleeding very slight from cd9 - cd12, she said it was ovulation bleeding!! never heard that before or every had that!!! she said that they would not start any investigation until we were ttc for over a year!!! one thing i have just read is that if your body mass index is less than 18.5 is is very difficult to conceive, mine is only about 17.3 ( but i am very healthy) so who knows

Starlight are you are bored as me with this 2WW lark? soooo boring!

Not sure my DH would be thrilled with a used wee stick, but then surely they would be swept along in the moment and not really think of the health and safety aspects . You could always have the waiter bring over his main course, life up one of those lid thingies (a choche?) and lo and behold there's a little pair of bootees or something

StarlightMcKenzie I think that's sounds perfect

Well I am confused.... I am 2 DPO and I think I may have ovulated twice... I had two LH surges but I thought maybe the first one was a bit faint to be a BFP so persumed I just had one when I got the 2nd one. Anyway I am now on my fourth day of OV pain. I feel like I've got a constant stitch its quiet uncomfortable. Also my cervix is still high open and soft even though by my calculations I hatched an egg 3 cays ago so am 2 DPO.

Will try and jump DP tonight just incase. Who knows maybe the first one was false. Anyone else had 4 days worth of OV pain?

STDG i've got my fingers crossed for you! its sounds positive!x

thanks all, eagerly accepts straws and clutches them to bosom. i shall be knicker checking for the next week. funny how we become obsessed with the state of our nether regions.

sarahnh - good luck and lots of sympathy

thanks also mob, i don't talk to anyone in rl life about this except dh only listens with one ear!!! so i guess mn is definitely the place to have a rant, so thank you for letting me rant rant rant!

thanks pixie i guess you just never know, i made sure that we bd on day 13, 14 and 15 to cover all options. I did a first response this am with first morning wee which is suspose to dedect 4 days early and it was a definite bfn... my bf is coming to see me this weekend so that will definitelty keep my mind off things so if AF doesn't rear her ugly head i will test again on mon which will cd32... i felt really sick this am, boobies still slightly bigger and still getting cm so i guess its not over till the fat lady rears her ugly head. Although it feel the same as last month which isn't good!!

Good morning everyone!

Bucky how are you feeling this morning - that sounds just like something i would do! Do get yourself checked if you are not feeling right this morning.

coolkat sounds like a horrible day yesterday - hope today goes better. I know what it's like when a family pet dies - my DD was distraught when her rabbit died recently - she organised the whole "ceremony" and we all had to dress in black etc. Don't be too downhearted about the BFN, sounds like it may have been a bit too early to test (but hey, isn't that one of the essential requirements of being on this thread - compulsion to test to early!) Keep your hopes up.

sarahnh sorry too for your BFN. As someone else said - not over until AF arrives - again - maybe it was too early? And don't worry about bringing us down - it's important that we can vome on here and say how we really feel - as it is often difficult to have the opportunity to do so in RL. And i certainly have times of feeling down (and i haven't been ttc for long) as i'm sure we all do. Have a break, if you feel that's what's needed - or just come on here and vent to us if it helps!

STFG your symptom sound good! RESIST the urge to test (yeah right) Carry on clutching at straws - isn't that what gets us all throught the 2ww?!

I have just done something stupid - whilst supposed to be working - and trawled the internet for fertility / infertility discovered 100's of reasons why it might never happen, and convinced myself that it will be a miracle if it did! I started because i was worried that both our ages will have an impact, but of course once you start reading...

Anyhow, i AM going to do some work now!!

hi all well had a crap 2 days dd has had me up all tues night being sick everywhere then had s**ts all day yesterday, so am walking around like a zombie, glad to say that dd is no worse for the experience and is back to normal now, wish i could say the same.
stfg lots of cm like that is definatley a symptom!

HI all,
cd 20 and i have been having white cm the consisitency of lotion, don't normally have this - could to be a early symptom or am i clutching at straws (as usual). also i would really like to not test early this month as it is obviously the road to madness. HELP.

Have re read my post and the spelling is awful very sorry

sorry this...

Also your luetal phase (time between ovulation and could be anything from 10 - 16 days.

was supposed to read like this...

Also your luetal phase (time between ovulation and AF) could be anything from 10 - 16 days.

Oh sarahnh big hug. I hate getting BFN's too. Maybe give ttc a break for a couple of months then see how you feel. All is not lost though here are a few facts for you.

The LH surge which gives you a + OPK is detected 24 - 36 hours before OV not on the day of ovulation, so you may not have ovulated till CD14 or even CD15

Also your luetal phase (time between ovulation and could be anything from 10 - 16 days.

An LH surge may be detected but you may not have released an egg. It happens sometimes no reason just happens.

If you do the math the latest your AF could be due if you did ovulate after your + OPK is CD31. If AF is due CD31 then your AF isn't late until CD32. I would test if on AF on CD32.

Don't lose all hope you have great symtoms and some women are known not to get that BFP until 19/21DPO and you still possibly only 13/15DPO

morning ladies, well it bad news from me bfn only hoping that cos last cycle was 36 days there is still hope?? but the opk kit did say that i ovulated on cd13.... who knows, but not very happy at all and after 10 months sounds strange but feel like giving up... i have a beautiful dd so maybe i should just be happy and grateful that i have one... hope i haven't brought anyone down with this message its just sarah feeling very sorry for herself
