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

Ms Sparkler, maybe wait till the weekend and use first morning wee.

Done a test and BFN I did a first respose one. So now i suppose i will just wait a week and see if AF turns up if not i will test again.

It's so frustrating!

Hi GG. Laughing at your DP. I think they do get jealous of MN. My DP asked if I'd told my virtual friends about my BFP and asked if you were all pleased. I wouldn't mind, he hogged the laptop all Sunday morning, I'm sure he done it on purpose, just to have that power of being the only one to know

I just had to laugh at him, if only he realised how much my 'virtual' friends knew about him

hello all,

back from my verrrrry dull meeting now an dstraight down to MN.

Have to tell you about DH, bless him. He knows my MN obsession and finds it very amusing, but last night he said quite pleadingly "If you get a BFP - see I know the lingo now! - you would tell me first and not the ladies on Mumsnet wouldn't you????" So I have promised to test with him although at the moment I am not getting my hopes up. I don't feel anything in particular in the way of symptoms and CD21 today

ooops, sorry shreksmissus and mamalex for not crediting you with being the senior members of the TTC-ers

Bucky no worries about going to the big meet up. I feel like you, I think (probably too scary for me. I have visions of it being run by Alpha Females . The sort who always run the PTA and are on the board of governors at school.

DG - fingers crossed for your progesterone reults

sarahnh - oooh yes, almost cycle buddies then! My 28 days is up on 5th December, so probably around then. I have been 28 days for the last five cycles out of six, so that should eb about right for me I think.

Today I am mostly experiencing sore (.)(.) and quite a lot of CM. and my cothes are feeling tight, but that is more probably a result of my unstoppable creeping weight gain of the last few months. I keep telling myself I'll be putting on (lots!) of weight soon anyway due my imminent mother-to-be status

Hi to glasto madoldbird shazza abbey and MsSparler (who has to test test ets) and anyone else missed

Hi everyone

Am a bit worried i have put everyone off grapefruit juice - it was just my nutritionalists personal opinion - so don't stop just because of that! Just food (or juice) for thought. It definitely did work for me last month (cue reminiscing(sp) about watford gap cm incident....)however didn't help towards a BFP.

glasto
great symptoms! Just the sort of thing we need to ponder over on this thread!

dg how frustrating having to wait for your test results. Been meaning to say, it's been really interesting to hear abut your acupuncture sessions, thank you for sharing it.

shazza great that you are still hanging around - hearing about your experience gives us al hope, i think!

MsSparkler Go on - test!!!!

pixie hope you will keep popping in until you are able to start ttc again. Relax and have fun in the meantime.

sarahn looking forward to hearing an update on your crunchy tubes!!!

Big hello to everyone else. X

glasto would spot if I could!

Shazza i have developed a fear of testing. the only reason i'm gonna do one on monday is because I have another acupuncture appt, if it's a bfn he can carry on as normal. if it's a bfp then he might want to change where he sticks the needles in.

Symptom spotting like mad! Heavy (.)(.), although not painful, very tired (get on train in the morning, fall asleep until arrival at work; get on train in the evening, fall asleep until arrival at home station and then it's a mad rush to get off the train before the doors close!) and my waistband on my trousers feels tighter. Of course, the expanding waistline could, and probably is, due to excessive eating .

Anyone else do this so early on in their 2WW?

DG You sure your not gonna cave in over the weekend????.

Well I didn't have any symptoms apart from AF ones. Tummy cramps/back ache. Felt bloated too. Boobies are starting to hurt now though.

Will be on here first thing Monday to see.

bucky I think you're doing splendidly

shazza I'm 9dpo, won't be testing till Monday which is 14dpo. Unless AF turns up before then. I veer (minute to minute) between being symptom-less and feeling like AF is due.

My first cycle off pill was 39 days. But never ever had any feelings like my period was gonna start. Apart from the day it did.

So the pill could be messing with your cycle, or you could be PG. oooohhhhhhh You won't know until you test. Good luck

I came off the pill 5 weeks and 2 days ago. I could have ov a week later as the pill has probably confused my body.

I will buy a test this afternoon, a first response one.

Hi dg

A week is like a lifetime in this TTC lark isn't it.

So I know you're CD32, how many DPO do you think you are?

Hello everyone.

Just popping in really. Sarahnh I had the 'no symptoms' thing last month it's very weird. However, there was no good news on my part. That said, Sweetkitty had the same and got a BFP so it seems there are no rules.

Gryffin I am scared of the big meet up . Its all nice and cosy here in the 2ww and baby room threads and that seems like the big wide world. If there were a few of us and I could hide behind somebody's coat tails I might sneak in though.

Well I am breaking all my 10 commandments.
Have had coffee, have no thermometer, have not found any grapefruit juice and am now not sure if to drink it anyway, haven't started BDing yet CD10!, I blame Xmas drinks which have started already for DP . He is too letchy after a skinful when I am sober as a judge. I make him sound like a right alkie. He really isn't at all, he is lovely, but I am 'little miss boring party pooper' as I become more and more aware that this ttc malarky is taking ages.

I have got my OPKs which I almost broke on the first go this morning . We'll see if it works tomorrow...no egg today though. Kind of early. What else was there...brazil nuts..well, sneaked those in . Oh am being a bit better with the vitamins. There were two other things and I can't remember what they were .

Anyway. Have a good day. I am flat out here, so will try and check in and see what's going on but will probably be very quiet.

Pixie nice to see you, keep popping in to let us know how things are going.

dammit! progesterone test results not back till next wednesday. oh well.

MsSparkler i think it looks promising! fingers crossed . If you've got a smidgeon of patience left, try testing with tomorrow morning's first wee.

sarahnh we all know how 'no symptoms' is a symptom!

I also have no symptoms. No nausea, funny turns, headaches, tiredness. Have prodded/squeezed boobs and they are not hurting. Although I do feel a bit fatter today. Might be the clingy dress though.

I only waited until 10DPO

Got a faint line on an early test from the internet, so then got CBD to be certain. So was very early, which I'm now regretting actually, still convinced my AF will start tomorrow and it would have been chemical/miscarraige and if I hadn't of tested so early I would never have known.

So after all that what I'm trying to say is there is a huge chance you are PG, and as you say you could have OV later than you thought. All ladies are different to when they get their BFP, I've read on MN about ladies being ages overdue and still PG, but just taking longer to show up.

So is this your first month off pill or anything. I'm sure you've said before but I can't remember, so many ladies, so little time

Shazza, when you said you had cramps after the day you ov, how long did you wait to test? I started getting the cramps 2 weeks ago this Saturday.

I may have ov a week later than i thought.

AF was due last week (Thursday 23rd) and on Saturday the 17th i started to get bad tummy cramp (like how Shazza said she had in this thread.) I had that cramp for a week which i thought was period pain but don't usually get period pain for a whole week.

So i tested Sunday which was CD32 and BFN.

I am going to go on the advice of testing with a first response.

Hi Ms sparkler.

3 Days can make a huge difference. They advise you if you test and get BFN then wait 2/3 days as if you are PG HCG triples every 3 days.

I would try first response or CBD.

Good luck

Just popping in to say hello,

I had an appointment with my consultant yesterday. I'm having another Laparoscopy in January to remove some of the endometreosis scarring. Not allowed to ttc until a month or so after the op so I guess I'll be out till February.

Hope everyone's ok... any BFP's?

Hello MsSparkler,

Sorry to hear you're feeling down. I'm not sure how best to advise you, I'm still a bit new to TTC.

It could have been too early to test before, so there is still hope.

How do you feel though, any symptoms?

JB

Morning all, feeling depressed today because AF still isn't here and i'm not sure whether to take a test. Took one on Sunday and was BFN so it wouldn't be a BFP 3 days later surely?

What do you think?
