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

DG so if you temp stays high, you're pregnant? I've not gotten that far on the fertility friends site. The whole temping game is oddly confusing to me but I might try it if my AF ever "officially" appears.

hi all,
tested this morning. BFN. feel a bit defeated today but still feel preggers.
giong to try not to test till tuesday now.

Oh dg I'm gutted for you. Maybe the thermometer is broken??? The only positive I can come up with is that maybe the acupunture is helping your cycles, because if she turns up in the next day or so that will be one of your shorter cycles no?

morning ladies, my temp has plummeted. i took it twice and even rolled the thermometer round my mouth hoping to find warmer pockets. but no, it looks like AF is definitely on her way . don't even have any symptoms today.

Nah, can't rmember where my pumpkin pie recipe was from, think it had condensed milk in it

Hello all, well no AF yet. I had a bit of period pain yesterday but none today

I don't know whats going on? If AF isn't here by Sunday i am testing again with urine from first thing in the morning!

Here's my pumpkin muffin recipe

they're in the oven right now

Poinsettia did you make the pumpkin pie from the Guardian Weekend recipe?

Anyway, back to my 2ww:
have just tested with an opk to see if i'm oving. all this ewcm is confusing me. i'm not ovulating

shazza my temps aren't as high as they were last month. it may have something to do with the acupuncture. I'll see if they stay up over the weekend. Am only on 11dpo of a potentially 15 day luteal phase.

hiding yes, watery-cm is a good sign. and don't worry about a BFN on 9dpo, but do let us know if you're testing tomorrow!

ps I had tummy and ov-like pains from 1dpo to 7dpo. I think it's the womb lining fattening up.

Oh all this talk of baking. Sadly our oven is a menace and can't actually explain what temperature it is at. Fine for most stuff, more or less, but useless for baking as I discover every time I think that maybe it's having a better day.

DG that sounds really promising. Fingers and toes crossed for you. And everyone else. All looking good at the moment isn't it.

I had the same tummy pains last night, but have decided it's nothing to do with PG as it really would be FAR too early (still only 5 DPO, possibly 6 at most). I've been doing really odd hours for the last few weeks and have decided it was my body's way of wondering why on earth I've been sitting at my desk at 2am for the last two nights.

So, no real symptoms to report here today.

Keep them coming into the weekend though!

Well, twice I've made a sour cream cake from this Saturday's Guardian baking special but they were both pretty disappointing. Made these cool vegan gram flour pancakes from it though, great teatime snacks. Yesterday I also made some mini raisin cakes to stuff the kids with.
Pumpkin pie is surprisingly nice actually, very very sweet. And you can put cooked pureed pumpkin into pancake batter instead of milk.

hi again all,
busy times behind the sofa.
wow what a lot of symptoms!! whose testing this weekend?
i couldn't wait and did a cheap sainsbury's test yesterday. BFN. but i think it was barely 9 dpo so a little silly to waste 3.99 like that.
anyway. due on on tues but will probably not be able to wait that long. have a clear blue in the bathroom cupboard which may get opened tmrw morn...
im really thirsty as well. still tired and getting some watery CM which i'm very pleased to see listed as a symptom
hope yr all having a good friday.

Did someone say baking?! Oooooh I love baking so much, cakes, buns, biscuts, muffins, all fun to make and great to eat. What are you making Poinsetta?

DG I've never tried a sweet pumpkin recipe, is it worth trying?

Naughty Shazza!!

I have nothing to report, still BDing as I don't think I've had any EWCM yet! Hope to start symptom spotting sometime next week!

DG Was it up last month too? Temps that is, I can hear all you ladies chuckling

have just eaten a GIANT bowl of food! is that a pg symptom??

shazza yes, temps are still up. am trying to remain rational and not get my hopes up. I do still feel like AF is round the corner. i have ewcm, which i got last cycle the day before AF arrived .
and yep, will be ttc'ing all through christmas - can't get rid of me that easily!

poinsettia i LOVE baking cakes. what are you baking today? I have some more pumpkin so I may do another batch of muffins. I hope your DS is ok, weird sometimes equals extremely brainy and/or gifted with a creative talent

There have been advantages to my 2ww so far - have been baking like crazy to take my mind off it so cake's up at mine! Plus, DS has his first ever appt with a specialist on Wed to determine whether he has a development issue or whether he's just a weird kid. Have been far too busy thinking about poss of pregnancy to worry about what's going to happen at that. But TBH it'll be fine, if he's normal, hurray (but !); if not, he'll get some help. All I can think about is shuffling rooms about to fit a baby.

Just saw on the other thread about your temps staying up DG That's good isn't it?

Have fun running DG

I presume you mean you'll be out of the running in respect of long cycles and not that you're stopping trying .

How's your temps?

You NEED to test Monday rememeber because of acupuncture, no getting out of it *DG, I am watching you

mmmm....bacon roll...

well ladies, I have the day off today. I'm going to go for a gentle run in a minute and we shall see if I get AF or not. No brown-cm this morning (yet).

great to have you back fairysnuff

hooray for the mtw shreksmrs it's sooo frustrating the 2ww. and as shazza said, this could be your month just as much as it could be mine! btw if I don't get a bfp next week then I'm out of the running for 2007. I'll have to start a thread called "TTC 2008 - this YEAR we will get our BFPs"

gg what dpo will you be on Sunday? I'm too scared to test early I prefer not knowing

hello everyone

just realised when I said that my team won an industry award, I didn;t mean that I am the boss and my underlings and I won somehting. Just meant that I was part of a (big) team. Not trying to make myself look big and clever

shreksmissus - don't be too down, cycle-buddy! You have great symptoms this month and what shazza says is absolutely right. But the 2WW really draaaaags though.

07MTW you have said the magic word BACON ROLL and not I can't stop dreaming of one. I could murder one this morning. Does that count as a symptom?

hello everyone else. Any testers this weekend? I think I'll try and hold out until Wednesday provided AF doesn't arrive, although I might snap and test on Sunday with a first response

Don't be sorry shreksmissus I am not gonna pretend I know what it feels like to be waiting because I don't, I know I have been extrememly 'LUCKY' to fall so quickly and for that I am grateful, but what I can do is try and make you feel positive. You have had good signs and why shouldn't this be your month. You have just as much right as anybody else

I've just caught up having been away from MN for a couple of days. There are loads of great symptoms we must be due some good news soon.

Sorry not to send a personal message to you all but just so much to respond to. That'll teach me for not checking in more regularly

Cycle buddy Abby I'm eating my way into December too. I can not resist dessert and last night I was out with friends (one of which announced she is 6 wks PG ) and had the most gorgeous choc fudge cake with thick channel island cream. Yum Yum. I must get some fruit & veg into me today I only had 2 slices of cucumber yesterday

DG I hope it's implantation, how is it today?

I'm only CD9 and have been using OPK's for 3 days as I OV early last month and I got a this morning - CD9!! I don't seem to have EWCM or any pains in ovary area but I'm assuming the test is correct. I do use my FMU as there is no way I can hold on to my wee for 4 hours and the instructions say it is fine to use. We BD'd last night and intend to everyday over the next few days then I'm officially back on my 2ww!

Morning ladies.

Got a few new symptoms.

TMI for early in the morning but still, a whitish watery discharge, more watery than CM.

Plus, loss of sex drive . DP was a bit umm randy last night, but I just couldn't get in the mood. I felt really bad on DP. But during my last PG I couldn't get enough of it.

Any testers over the weekend?

Only thing vaguely like a symptom is going off my nightly roll-up somewhat since our naughty night. Seems to have a horrid aftertaste and quite often I can't even finish it. DH can't taste it but he might just have killed off his tastebuds with rubbish tobacco LOL. (In case you hadn't guessed I am eating, drinking and being merry until the test hits the fan. Or doesn't.)

Hi all, I finally have broadband at home again, may the obsession recomence!!
So I am upping the anti (sp?) this month and I am going to use ov tests and start monitoing my temps.
But can anyone tell me if they know of a way to monitor your temps, online.
I have a new laptop and I thought it came all singing and dancing but it turns out it has no word facilities at all so no excel package to take the downloadables.
And I have just got my lovely new thermometer so want to get started
