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

Hello,

I joined the TTC baby waiting room thread but thought I'd pop in here too if no one minds!

I'm going to ask a question and I'm v sorry if it is foolish... but.... I always thought there was a set number of days (individual for each woman) between the egg being released and then if it wasn't fertilised the egg died and AF started. What I don't understand is how people ovulate at different stages of their cycle?! Would the egg have time to implant if you ovulate late?

Sorry if this is a silly question

Sorry for my rant. welcome Sweets&cakes hope you get a BFP soon too.

Hi Everyone. Wish I could join you for lunch Friday but I'm too far away. Have a slice of something sweet and sickly for me!

I'm crazy woman again! Stupid to test so early yesterday. Convinced myself BFN means BFN and delt with it well yesterday but today I have v v slight nausea (when AF due I need sugar fix so its probably from the chocolate I've eaten) and tiredness (but I'm always tired) so thinking aah could still be. I've been pg twice in the last 7 months so kinda know how my body changes and I don't feel any of those changes at the moment so should really accept BFN. I'm due AF on Friday so if no show I will probably test again over the weekend. I just feel like I'm going insane my mood is almost anger but I don't know what/who at. This all sounds very PMT!

welcome sweeties&cakes - eating biscuits, not eating biscuits, sore boobs, spots, bloatedness, dizziness, 'feeling' pregnant. these are all symptoms of the 2ww. whether or not they're symptoms of PG we only know when someone gets a BFP! oh, and 'no symptoms' is also a possible symptom.

thanks cbcb, am supposed to be going for a day21 blood test which checks my progesterone level. you're supposed to do it 7dpo if you're a late ovulator (which I most definitely am), but I'm now on CD25 and haven't ov'ed according to my temp charting. Have lots of CM today so am still in the running. Ov-pains are fading, so it's either egg day today or my poor ovaries have given up. DH has promised to BD tonight after last night's wash out.

bucky I'm off on Friday! I have a dinner in the evening, so it'll have to be a modest one, but yes meeting up for lunch would be just the ticket! will email you

Morning all...

CBCB Why did you have to get a BFN too? that's soooo rubbish. I'm really sorry . I was hoping it was your month. When will the babies arrive for us all . Well AF isn't here yet and you are still 2 days pre AF so there is still a bit of hope.

DG chin up poppet. What are you doing on Friday? Maybe lunch will cheer you up. I have half day off again if you are around. We can moan about our lack of BFNs together. Invite extended to anyone else who is interested as well. (Gryffin can you sneak away?). I still want to sort some kind of Christmassy lunch but that seemed to have died a death.

Welcome Sweetiesandcakes good luck for your BFP.

abbey maybe your AF will come soon and we can pretend we are cycle buddies . Its lonely being at CD3 not to mention very boring, although I am using the time to accumulate all my accessories, ie. grapefruit juice, thermometers etc.

Hi to Sarah, Starlight, Scary and Coolcat and a big wave to everyone else. Hope you are all having the best day.

Hi ladies - have been watching your thread and have heard you mentioned on other threads so congratulations you are obviously legendary - anyway hoping for a BFP next wednesday - can you tell me any early pregnancy signs in the hope that I can figure out if I'm pregnant or not as a week seems like lightyears away!

thanks sarah I think I'll see if i get a temp shift this week and if not, I'll go for the blood test next week anyway.

cbcb sorry you got a bfn this morning. i haaaate bfn's, but have a knack for getting lots of them

I'm still a bit this morning. temp hasn't risen, and we didn't bd last night so now i'm desperately trying to console myself that if i ov today then the swimmers from two nights ago might still be there. I've had all sorts of cramps.

i'm supposed to have a day21 blood test, but i've been waiting for a temp shift so I'll know when I'm 7dpo. now i don't know when to go, should i wait for my temps to rise or should i go on monday which will be a week after i got the +ve opk?

cbcb - I feel terrible about some comments I made earlier in the thread about twins...when the signs were looking good last month and I was showing a symptom you'd had with your twins. I'm sorry I probably seemed negative about the thought of twins. I just know how hard it was for my Mum (and you I'm sure) and am not sure I'd be any good at handling it, esp. with one already. Hats off to you!

I meant to come back to thread to qualify what I'd said by saying how much I'd actually love it... in 18 years(!), but how scary it would be in terms of how we'd cope (we have no local family support network) as well as financially etc., but by the time I did the thread had moved on.

The twins thing in my family is pretty solid. DB and DS twins, grandfather had siblings who were twins and cousins are twins. Eek.

So... sorry if I offended you cbcb.

Other than that, absolutely nothing to report here. CD10. Family visits for the next week so suspect that this month will be a dud anyway.

Aha cbcb - I can't confess to the names I have picked until I have the babies to put with them! That way if everyone thinks they are awful it will be too late and they'll just smile and say "how unusual"!

I guess you'll find out in about, oh, 10.5 months!!!

evening all,

i have just had a rubbish day at work, not helped by me being tired, emotional and wanting to go home from 4pm. does anyone else feel even more desperate to be pg when they've had a bad day at work?

i have back ache, cramps and sharp ov-like pains from alternating sides. maybe i'll hatch two eggs and have twins! it would be hard work but i don't mind. (note DG has no twin relatives on maternal side so this is highly unlikely)

Note repetitous messaging proving my knackeredness!

Coolkat - I had lots of discharge when I was pg with dd. It is my resounding memory of realising I was pg with dd those 10 long years ago! Fingers crossed for you.

Scary - I like the idea of twins, though one would certainly be more affordable.

Anyway, I'm heading for an early night. No BDing though! AF due, so I have the luxury of a few nights grace before the real work begins

Hi everyone

Ladyhelen - I'm on CD3 too. Last cycle was about 32 days - down from 36. DH is continuing to work away a lot. I just hope he can get free and come down to london when I get that smiley OPK!!

abbymeg I dream about twins too. I would love to have twins and have got names for them as well! I never realised I wasn't the only twin fantasist!

Glad you're all ok. Bring on some BFPs!

Abbeymeg think their all making babies or at least practising!!!

AF ARE YOU THERE, AF ? ?

No, still not bloody here. Still no BFP. Rahhhh

P.S Whats it mean when you have discharge all the while - sorry TMI I know but don't know how else to put it!!

Where are you all? Is it frantic b-ding season again? Long, cold, dark nights and babies to make?!!!

Back again - been incommunicado for a few days.
Well , I'm CD 3. AF arrived Sunday. 29 days and 6 hours from when she arrived last month. I was so sure we'd caught too. 3 days on the trot of sh*gs with a positive POK test bang in the middle of those! I was so sure that we'd covered it.
I had also bravely said to my RL mates Oh I'll not be bothered this month in the lead up to Christmas, blah blah blah. Not the case AT ALL. Sobbing into my knickers.
Still , to cheer me up, I have persuaded DH to go snowboarding in January if, and only if I'm not pg by then. We've worked out dates and everything according to my cycles. Now thats obsession. Planning a hol around my cycles.
