the 2WW Continues...........................

Thats ok, it wasn't all that long ago i was on here(conception) ttc! it can and does get confusing

that's a good article Scorpio - thanks for the reassurance.

Jollybear - love the butternut squash soup idea! I am off to the book shop later to find the Delia book (and copy the recipe down without anyone noticing - naughty!)

cbcb I think the CBFM really helped. I thought I OV on CD13/CD14 which fits in with when the 'textbooks' tell you it should happen, but CBFM was still saying high. But then on CD17 I had real bad twinges and thought maybe that was it, then got the peak the next day so confirmed it for me. Without it I don't think I would have 'really' known, mainly cause the fact I was looking out for EWCM and only had a tiny bit once when I visted the loo. So had I relyed on that I would have been totally screwed (well I was ) but you know what I mean .

It was great the frienc could lend me it, but I probably would have bought one anyway. Without it I probably would have wasted loads of money on PG tests. Also, monitor flashed m at me this morning which is telling you your AF is due, so takes a bit of that guess work out too.

HTH

libralady - I really think it will be fine. You probably have to ingest a LOT of Vitamin A for any negative impact and I am sure the ordinary does multi-vits won't do any harm to you or your baby, despite that a*se covering disclaimer I saw. But i thought I'd better tell the 2WW crew in case they were taking Boots own brand Muti Vitamins and Minerals (the red tube)

Nevertheless, I was at the caution on the packet when it happened to catch my eye this morning. TBH I was a bit sceptical that Pregnacare was any better - a bit more fine tuned maybe and I thought that, on balance, it probably had the edge, but having run out of the women's vitamins I had been taking, I've been merrily popping the ordinary ones and patting myself on the back that i am not exposing any potential beanie to malnutrition

Hello everyone,

Wow, what an exciting rush of BFP's over the weekend. Congratulations Coolkat, S&C and Shazza!!

Hope to see you back soon Pixie.

GG - I can recommend butternut squash for your Christmas dinner! It is yummy, good old Delia, she knows what she is doing!

more info

Try not to worry though, its big big doses that matter.

Stop taking them, and take something like pregnacare. Vit A is toxic to a fetus in large doses- thats why they advise no eating liver, etc.

Arrrgh GG.
I didn't think. I've been taking multivits throughout ttc and now I'm 8+5.
Any suggestions anyone?

LOL at Shazza and her DH not having told anyone in RL (just your virtual mates).

p.s. think I have made a bit of a cock-up. I ran out of Lady Vitamins so just bought the regular multi-vits out of Boots. When cleaning my teeth this morning I glanced at the packet and it says that pregnant women "or those planning to become pregnant" shouldn't take them because they contain Vitamin A. I know you are meant to be careful with Vitamin A during pregnancy, but it didn;t for a minute occur to me that ordinary dose multi-vits would be a bad idea

CBCB - Amy Winehouse was pretty good considering. She was 1hr 15 mins late on stage which is a loooong time when it's an all standing venue , so her set was pretty short. She has an amazing voice and was note-perfect, but without her stage presence IYKWIM? She didn't have much chat between songs and the chat she did manage was pretty incoherant and slurred. I had a pretty good view and she was really twitchy through most of it, tugging at the hem of her twinkle skimmer of a dress, her beehive (HUGE) and her bra straps contantly.

hello shreksmissus - cycle buddies together. This 2WW is boring and noooo symptoms at all.

DG and Bucky - how was the meet up on Friday?

hello to everyone else. What flavour soup are you making MOB? I am cooking Christmas dinner this year and I have to think of what soup to make (family tradition demands soup ) so any ideas gratefully received.

Any other BFP's out there? We are on a roll this month

Morning all.

Haven't left yet. Would like to stick around for bit longer if that's ok, would like to move with company

Thank you all my virtual friends. DP asked me who I'd told. Was shocked when I said about 10 people, but said it was ok as it was nobody in RL. He looked at me like I'd gone gaga.

cbcb Not clued up really, I cheated with a CBFM that my friend lent me. So got my peaks on CD18/CD19. BD on CD16 / CD18 / CD20, and a few other days during the month but I'm guessing it was one of those batch of swimmers that caught.

Hope you all get lovely BFP's soon

Good morning ladies

shazza & S&C lovely, lovely news, cheered me up no end when i logged on to catch up this morning. Great to have some good news, and lovely to end the recent drought. Roll on a few more BFP's!!!

Well i am now on the 2ww - after rather premature smiley faces on thursday & friday. Only managed to BD once on friday due to all the difficult stuff we have going on ATM but we are still hopeful that once is enough! Only thing worrying me is that since thursday i have had v tender (.)(.)and they are still bad today. I think i have read somewhere that they can be a bit tender around ov, but shouldn't that go away? Am also feeling "hormonally emotional" IYKWIM so am worried my hormones are basically up the creek.

So now officially BORED and need the next 2w to go quick!

Hope everyone is ok today, am just putting a big saucepan of homemade soup on to simmer (working from home this morning) - should be ready by lunchtime if anyone fancies it!! (Shall i drop some flasks of it in later?)

Oh, that reminds me... went to the nutritionalist the other day, who basically said that i am reasonably healthy and it should happen at some point. She has given me multi-mineral drops and some zinc ones to supplement the ante-natal vits i take, and said to eat lots and lots of green leafy veg and oily fish. She also was not too keen on the grapefruit juice idea - said that it could make the body too acidic overall, and CM needs to be alkaline to keep swimmers alive. Have forgotten to do it this month anyway! Obviously just her thoughts but i thought i would pass it on. She is going to put us both on Marilyn Glenville's fertility supplements if i haven't had a BFP when i see her in January.

Shazza you have given me hope. AF is late, took a test today but BFN but just thinking back and if i ov a week later than i thought then it wouldn't show up on test yet. A week after i thought i ov would have been a Friday and on the Saturday i started getting horrable cramps and tummy pains but thought it was strange because it was too early for period pains.

Have had them since then but they aren't as bad as they were to start with. I have a bit of hope left after feeling so down earier

Just wanted to come out of lurking quickly to say big congratulations to Shazza and SandC.

So marvellous and exciting!! I can't wait for my egg to hatch so that I can have another go!

hmph, I don't know what's going on. have been quite busy today so haven't any symptoms to report.

except, just found some EWCM, but got negative opk yesterday and today (am occasionally doing them whenever I get ov-type symptoms). i've had two cycles of mis-reading EWCM as a PG symptom when actually its an ov-symptom.

i'm having an 'eggless' moment . hopefully tomorrow I'll wake up feeling 'eggfull'

Shazza CONGRATULATIONS I Can't tell you how pleased I am for you. Now, the saying goes 2 out of 3 aint bad so we just need DG to get a BFP then it's 2 out of 3 for us cycle buddies and I'll get mine next month. Well done you!

Massive congratulations to both S&C and Shazza! It makes a fantastic to have so many BFPs.

Pixie - I hope we see you again very soon. Take good care of yourself. XX
