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

sk hope you get a bfp fingers crossed for you

well my eyes have stopped leaking now just been to loo and am sure someone has turned a tap on cm everywhere sorry tmi.
wish dh would hurry back from the pub not much chance of that happening tho, im sure he forgets where he lives and now the bloody dog has decided that he will lie with his bum in close proximity and blow smelly farts at me, charming! life just couldnt get better

spookykitty · 29/10/2007 22:21

mylittleeloise - I feel the same today am going from being angry and irritable to weepy in a heartbeat, deffo AF signs I think

I have been having funny aches in my plvic region all day but think it's nothing, will pee on my ebay cheapie tomorrow, hold it up to the light then natural light, squint at it 100 different ways, think nah it's a dud, pee on another, bad bloody batch, think well AF isn't here so there's still a chance, AF will turn up and will be down down down but immediately start working out fertile days/potential baby due date/next AF day, ho hum I'm officially TTC mad!

mylittleeloise · 29/10/2007 22:00

DG you definatley right all drs receptionists are dragons especially ours, its my mil

mylittleeloise · 29/10/2007 21:58

is sitting crying for no apparent reason a symptom? ive been sat here for past hour tears rolling down my face, with no reason for it, just want to cry all the time it started when i got mad with the ironing board coz it kept falling down

hedgepig · 29/10/2007 20:59

Thanks Digitalgirl I am all excited now (been trying since Jan).

Drs receptionist can be a challenge If it was our surgery I would say it was probably easier to make an appointment than try and get past then, Good luck

digitalgirl · 29/10/2007 20:44

PMSL at bucky already getting her runny-poo practice in

woohoo MOB and her gleaming eyes!

I'm of those having sexy-time fun mid-cycle. God knows when it's gonna happen for me this time.

hedgepig unusual spots are absolutely a symptom! welcome to the thread, now you're here, be prepared to get really obsessive!

Was really busy at work today, so didn't have anytime to look into consultants etc. but DH made lots of phonecalls for me. Apparantly there's a fertility clinic at my local hospital, I just need a referral from my doc. Will call the surgery tomorrow and see if she'll write one out for me without me needing to book an appointment. That's if I can get past the receptionist. Anyone else think all doctor's receptionists are dragons??

hedgepig · 29/10/2007 20:33

Hello can I come in?
I am feeling rather dim I have looked at the title of this tread loads of times and been mystified what it was about. I couldn't understand why we were discussing world war 2 (2ww) in conception!

anyway I'm really spotty and I'm not normally could this be a sign??

madoldbird · 29/10/2007 17:20

Thanks for all the info - i had a text back from DH who was pleased to hear about the smiley face - and wants to make the most of it. ( i was a bit worried about putting him under too much pressure to "perform") So, we shall do our best, and i will, of course, report back in the morning . Have a lovely evening everyone.

Bucky2007 · 29/10/2007 16:28

Pmsl at MOB with her EWCM at the Watford Gap At first I thought you meant Gap in Watford and thought I would look out for some next time I was there LOL.

Finn has more or less stopped whining. He is a good boy, crap on the lead, but still a good boy. I fed him cream cheese, the stupid dog toy said to, you apparently fill it with cream cheese or dog paste and it takes hours for him to get at it all so he is entertained. Yeah right now he has the runs. You try picking up the runs in a stupid poo bag . Poor Finn, he is snoozing in his bed, probably exhausted and dehydrated. Bet he's glad he moved in here! On the plus side he has had loads of walks today and has molested at least 3 other puppies which he seemed to quite enjoy.

I have to pay attention to my CDs. I am getting very distracted by life and DP and I are not BDing. Note to self: Must get BDing programme back on track in time for the egg.

07mumstheword · 29/10/2007 15:13

Funnily enough madoldbird I was reading only yesterday that you should have sex up to 5 days before ovulation so the little swimmers are there ready for the egg as sperm can survive for a maximum of up to 5 days. If you've got a smiley face today I'd definately have another shot at it tonight (so to speak ) and you really will have done all you can for this month!

spookykitty · 29/10/2007 13:28

MOB - think Sunday would definately count, I read somewhere that it's better to have the sperm up there and waiting for the egg, would definitely get some more up there tonight (just read that back sorry gross

MLE - I have only had one experience with ebay cheapies as follows, tested day AF due BFN, tested day after AF due BFN (I'm never late), tested 3 days after AF due BFN, thought sod this I know I'm pregnant bought a CBD and got a BFP. Doesn't stop me buying them though, this was erm over 2 years ago and from a different company as the ones I have now. Was hoping the ebay cheapies gave me a faint line so I know that splashing out on a CBD would be worth it although I could just wait until AF is late but wheres the fun in that

GryffinGhoul · 29/10/2007 12:19

MOB - from what I've read, sperm continues to wriggle their tales and be viable for up to three days post BD-ing when you have EWCM (I once read a thread when someone claimed to have conceived based on BD-ing FIVE days before OV), so I am sure that the swimmers from Sunday morning BD-ing will count, but no harm in dragging your DH home from work tonight just to make sure

madoldbird · 29/10/2007 12:07

Good morning everyone!

Although there appear to have been rumours that i was around on here over the weekend - we were away, so i have just been catching up with everything that has been going on in the 2ww world.

Welcome to Finn!!! he sounds gorgeous and i'm sure he will soon settle. I think he should be the thread mascot, and he will no doubt bring lots of luck to us all!!

DG bad news about AF, but as others have said, at least she is here, instead of leaving you waiting. Roll on the next (hopefully shorter) cycle. 07MTW bad news also, sorry to hear she's with you as well.

And GG you definitely need some grovelling from DH, IMO it should involve jewellery of some sort, preferably diamonds!!!

Hello to everyone else, including the new people who have joined us over the weekend.

I am CD16 now, and on Friday afternoon, on the way to our hotel for the weekend, i had loads of EWCM at Watford Gap!! So we thought that the time was right, even though i hadn't had a smiley face. Did another test sat morning, which was faulty, so just forgot about tests and got on with it. BDing on Sat morning (3am!) and sun morning. We came back feeling we had done all we could. However i had a quick check of my cervix this morning, and it was higher and soft, so i have just done another OPT and guess what - smiley face! I have just texted DH to ask if he is up for any more!! However, i was wondering, oh wise ones, if you think that sunday morning would be too soon to count if i got the smiley face today??

Well, i'm going now, after boring you all with the intimate aspects of my life!

pixie04 · 29/10/2007 11:47

Good Morning Ladies!

Welcome starshaker fingers crossed for you, keep us informed about any possible symptoms you have

DG PMSL laughing as well at the "don't come a knockin' if the toadstool's a rockin'" So so true hehehe. Well I succesfully jumped DP last night I got myself looking nice and it worked. I tried again this morning but I got the I'm not in the mood from him. So lets hope I can get him again tonight or hope that last night alone did the trick.

Bucky I'm not sure I am worthy. I'm a little confused to be honest have had no EWCM yesterday or today and I haven't had any OV pains either. Also I feel like I have a cold comming on so OV may be delayed. Hows the doggie?

I've only had a quick scam over the post just wanted to say good morning.

mylittleeloise · 29/10/2007 11:38

hi all

well now 4dpo and no symptoms, but suppose its too early, however i do feel like i have swallowed a space hopper

i already have a dd (so does that mean im ttc#3???? got pg after mc straight away)

SK was looking at some ulta early pg tests on ebay but didnt no if they really work, was hoping someone had t&t with good results

spookykitty · 29/10/2007 10:58

Morning ladies

I've been good no testing this morning, am going to pee on an ebay cheapie tomorrow morning not hopeful but am staying away from the CBDs

symptom wise - nothing apart from sore groin/ovaries/top of hips

mylittleeloise - hello and welcome to the thread, I'm a bit like you last 2 pregnancies (I have 2 DDs and one mc) I fell straight away thought it would be like that again but no success so far. I know exactly when I ovulate and have regular cycles so who knows whats going on, I've used opks so chances are I hatched an egg?

digitalgirl · 29/10/2007 10:45

GG have actually spent the first 45 minutes of my working day catching up on personal emails, MN and Facebook!
Right, must do some work!

GryffinGhoul · 29/10/2007 09:40

and a big welcome to mylittleeloise too - so sorry to hear about your MC and you must stay here and symptom spot with us

GryffinGhoul · 29/10/2007 09:39

Morning all - I am back in the office . Another week, another mornign pretending to work while sneaking peeks at MN all morning. CD19 and the 2WW is going soooo slowly. A whole week to go before I can even contemplate an early test (resist resist! ) and not a symptom in sight yet.

Welcome to QPQ - I love the name and you are definitely in the right place and very welcome here. We usually insist that newbies bake us a cake , but you are let off this time.

Bucky - has Finn stopped whining?

Spooky- this was to be our last trip doing something that we couldn't do without DC's (on the hope?assumption?) that I am PG soon. We're lucky that without DC's for now that we can hopefully rearrange before the end of the year.

PMSL at DG saying "don't come a knockin' if the toadstool's a rockin'" to pixie, ha ha ha. Brilliant.

mylittleeloise · 28/10/2007 22:41

Welcome QPQ this is a really friendly thread so I'm sure it will help ease the 2WW.

TEW has got me good and proper so I'm back to CD1 but from what I've read I'm staying here too, glad you're not kicking me out for a fortnight

digitalgirl · 28/10/2007 21:15

welcome QPQ we do cervical pursuit, cm checking and boob prodding and many other things in the name of symptom spotting.

for the record this thread is not getting rid of me either. have well and truly settled in here after a whopping 4ww!

I will have no symptoms to report over the next 7 days, but it's been so long since my last CD1 I've forgotten all the things I was doing at the beginning of the month. Will have to stock up on brazil nuts and grapefruit juice, start running again, remember to eat vegetables.
At least I can now chart my temps from the beginning and know for sure when I've ov'ed.

GG It must have been a really amazing opportunity for your DH that led to you both to cancelling the holiday. I hope he makes it up to you with a 5* luxury trip to the maldives. In the meantime feel free to not obsess about completely unrelated topics here on the 2ww thread.

bucky maybe print out a picture of you and DP for little Finn to trick him into thinking you're still there.

sk pains round the pelvis...could be something...? keeping my fingers crossed for you, coolkat and shreksmissus pixie you go girl! don't come a knockin' if the toadstool's a rockin'
