SYMPTOMS, SYMPTOMS, READ ALL ABOUT IT!!! 2wwaiters chat and cuppas at the ready[grin]

Do you all not like the new thread?

hi girls i have set up our new thread and made it super lucky
here it is
get your bottoms over there
xx ei xx

So. I am 6 days past Ovulation (I got positive ov stick on Sat) and if my cycle is as short as it was last month I am due on, on sunday/Monday. Am hoping my cycle is longer TBH, give any egg the chance to implant.

Last 5 days nothing to report in the way of symptoms but today I am feeling a bit unwell. Twinges in my breasts too, though could just be PMT as I have been very emotional and/or angry today.

Hello girls

Thanks for all thoughts and experiences of the internal exam, doesn't sound too bad..love the thought of drifting off thinking about sean bean to distract myself!

Having the internal later this month but they probably can't refer me to hospital until the year mark as our local hospital not as eerily empty as our doctors surgery..

Coolkat sending hugs you poor thing, hope better soon.

GG have you got the results yet?

MrsEI did you start a lcuky new thread

It's horribly windy here today don't like it at all...roll on summer!

Hello all esp bucky, ei, gg, MOB, shakey, lou, FP, mibbes, coolkat..... sorry if I've missed anyone!

I'm just popping in and out but wanted to say hello to everyone and that I have my fingers crossed for all those close to testing, especially GG. No symptoms have been an excellent symptom recently afterall.

I agree ei should start us off with a lucky new symptom spotters thread!

Have a great weekend everybody

p.s ooops, I nearly forgot BUCKY! are you out there, Buck-ster? Cooooeeeeee!!!

scully - I can sympathise with the "ships passing in the night" relationship! Poor you too.

My DH is very over-worked, but I can't get him to slow down so we missed the OV boat this month unless any little swimmers - assuming there are any (to be confirmed by THE TEST ) lingered up there. oops sorry if TMI .

hello everyone

just popping in to say no symptoms here,. but then, it was always thus

hi madoldbird and ei.

Ei - yes, what abotu a shiny new thread for all us 2WW-ers round here. mayeb it can be my "lucky" thread and a BFP will be mine

madoldbird - I said to DH that I would share his results with you lovely ladies and he was fine about it. We haven't heard anything yet, but he will chase from Monday. I tried to get him to register and post as "GryffinBoy" , I suggested, but he looked terrified at the prospect. He thinks MN is scary and that he will be inundated with cyber hugs and sympathy if the results are not as good as hoped .

Does anyone know how doctors give you back the results? The GP gets them, I know, but presumably if the sperm test is ok, they tell you, "you're completely fine" over the phone, but if things are bad they suck their breath through their teeth and whisper in doom-laden tones "I think you'd better come into the surgery...."

Digital - you are lurking, hurrah! Thinking of you and digi-bean
coolcat are you feeling better today? Are you ok after the argument with your DH? It's horrible and so thinking of you and big ((((hugs)))))

hello to mibbes jollybear shakey - sorry to anyone missed off.

hatty - have you had your internal exam. Are you ok today?

Is anyone testing this weekend? Fingers crossed TEW stays faaaaaaar away! Another week for me, but I am not hopeful as suggested. DH is now at home more (he comes in at 10pm - a vast improvement on last week ), but we have missed the boat for pro-creational BD-ing, so I am quite looking forward to recreational BD-ing with no pressure.
anyone got any exciting plans for the weekend? DH is off to Wembley for the football, so I am doing girly, shopping things with my friends

Hi everyone, hope your feeling better Coolkat. Lovely story Madoldbird, hopefully it will happen for you soon. Know what you mean about bding GG, we are also too tired a lot of the time, and not on the same schedule.
I'm currently watching Fool's Gold, Matthew McConauchey

Wow, it was quiet on here yesterday!

Purleeeease EI make us a bright new shiny lucky thread -then lets get chatting and accumulating those BFP's!

(I'd be quite happy to start the thread, but i think EI with her mystical powers, may bring us more luck )

Core blimey where has everyone gone?

Hi Madoldbird, this time of the month is horrible isn't it. I might start temping or something so I can keep track better.

DG good to hear from you, glad its going well.

Ei new thread sounds like a good plan!

No news here just poorly with 'fluey' bug, feel vile morning and night but not so bad in day, been to work but wasn't very productive! AF still AWOL, CD 36 so something should happen soon

Just been and got pup a new kennel and DD really excited wants to build it now also felt really bad as gave her MD's for tea just can't be arsed to cook. I had Beans on Toast.

Sorry for pointless ramble. X

do you girls think its high time for a new (and even luckier) thread?? we are up to post 945 in a few short weeks!! should i do it or does someone else wanna do the honours
xx ei xx

morning ladies
DG nice to 'see' you and im glad all is well with you you should be due your 12 week scan soon shouldnt you??
MOB wasnt it MTW who had absolutely no symptoms whatsoever AF or otherwise and she still got her BFP she was only saying before she tested that she thought hers was an anovulatory cycle if i remember rightly you never know that could be you soon when are you due to test?? fingers crossed for your BFP
xx ei xx

hello ladies, been lurking...not much to report here other than I think we're fine.

hatty I had a quick internal when I went to see the gynae about my long cycles. Was actually less uncomfortable than the smear I'd just had. She stuck a couple of fingers up there and had a feel around for the size of my uterus. She then booked me in for an ultrasound scan to check size of ovaries and other things. Wasn't so bad.

Hope that helps

DG x

An early good morning to everyone!

I am sorry i nearly made several of you cry yesterday!! Wasn't my intention to depress everyone. However, i am sure you are definitely all pregnant or about to be - being emotional and teary is a symptom, right?

hattyyellow i can imagine how apprehensive you must feel about the internal, but i guess at least the GP is being thorough, and taking you seriously. Practice mentally "going" somewhere else in preparation (nice garden / beach with crashing waves / arms of Sean Bean) so you can relax and switch off while he's doing it.

GG it can be so hard sometimes, all this BDing. I know often i'd rather just have a sleep! It must be doubly difficult when you are not often together at the right time. Don't give up all hope this month, though, as it only takes the once! How lovely of your DH to let you share his results with us. (Although, hope you would have done anyway, ) Don't think DH/P's realise half the stuff we tell each other on here.

Mibbes Do let us know how it goes at the docs. And don't disappear for too long!

coolkat so sorry to hear you sounding so down and poorly. A BFN is even worse to deal with when you are not feeling well. Hope you and DH have sorted things out now.

EI lucky you - MrEI being so eager!! Long may it continue, although i hope he doesn't exhaust you so much that you are too tired to come on MN!!

Still nothing to report here. (.)(.) very slightly tender, but not like normal when i screech in agony if DC's / DH / cats climb all over them at this point in my cycle. Am trying not to obsess with the thought that maybe i didn't ovulate (after the egg is released, it is the corpus luteum left behind that releases the progesterone that causes the pre-AF symptoms... i think...so if i didn't ovulate... no corpus luteum... no symptoms....) Aaaarrrgggghhhh someone stop me!!! I will definitely try and get around to temping next month, which should show if i have ov'ed.

Hope everyone is ok today (inc. everyone i haven't mentioned personally)

evening ladies
sorry to hear you are under the weather coolkat and about the BFN aswell but on the brightside if you couldnt concentrate in work today il bet a duvet day is warrented for tomorrow and fingers crossed for the weekend and a BFP
hatty poor you with the internal but hopefully it will help answer your questions or at least put you on the right track to getting your baby
MOB aahhh your story about your Dh almost made me weep xx he sounds so nice you both really deserve a BFP this cycle or soon at least
GG good luck for the results i hope it is ok for you both or even if it isnt quite as positive that he can get the treatment needed im sure all will be fine and the same with you it might just be a case of rotten luck and you will get your long awaited BFP
anyone iv missed??
nowt happening here but DH has been very forthcoming in the BD department so i am a little shattered but hey ho whos complaining!!
xx ei xx

HI LADIES

Just a quick one as I am not feeling well, full of cold, ears and eyes kill, chest sore .
Tested about 1/2 hour ago and got BFN again. Decided what will be will be, won't test now till weekend then may go docs. So tired today, me and DH had huge argument earlier and its upset me don't argue that often but when we do christ.

I see its been really busy on here so just a few bits I have picked up on

Shakeys girl, jealous about ring good luck this month.

Bucky good to see you, I understand what you are saying but stick with us we need to share your happiness when your BFP arrives.

Ei your doing a grand job keeping everyone going with your positivety - Keep it up!

GG good to hear from you, I know what you mean me and DH are like passing ships sometimes Keep in touch.

Jolly good luck with scan. x

Right ladies off to chill, my apologies to anyone I have missed, not on top form today!! infact messed up big spread sheet at work today

Jollybear HCB, Hi missus ! I meant to say the other day that although bummer I am out this month, you are right that it is great I have had a normal length cycle again - phew ! Will be sending lots of positive vibes next week, hope you get the all clear.
hatty hope the internal isn't too bad. I wonder if I'll be sent for one when go to the docs next week as one of the main issues spotting can be a sign of is fibrioids and they'd need to look inside to see if there are any in there . I don't relish the prospect but if there is something in there preventing implantation and that could potentially cause mc if bean did implant then I want it sorted out ASAP.
I think I'll be doing a Bucky and just lurk and post if anything to report. There will be nothing happening for at about 3 weeks on the ttc front as approx 3 days until AF then another 16+ until ov. I'll pop back with what happens at Doc appt though.
Wishing you all lots of BFPs !

Made me laugh about the 6th form - i have to dress up as a school girl on the 2nd of March for a party lol i went to it last year and have some truly embarrassing pictures to remind me of it! I love theme nights, we did a beach party a couple of weeks ago. Dp organises them, hmm girls in swimwear and now in school uniform i think he has an agenda lol
jolly i dont know about stamina, i tend to lie there and do nothing quite often lol

jolly - crossed posts with you. Scan next week - fingers crossed for you!

hello everyone!

Like Bucky I am lurking, but nothing much to report at the moment - no symptoms and nothing happening - so haven't posted much. BD-ing hasn't been as regular as it should have been this month because of DH working like a dog and me being fast asleep when he comes home at night in the wee small hours then leaves early in the morning. i think a BFP will be even more remote. He literally is my "dream" DH at the moment, because I usually see him in my sleep . Bucky you cant disappear - I am another old timer and I am sure I will be around for a while yet as nothing ever happens to me .

hello jolly - sorry if I missed anything on the thread (have only managed to skim it) but did your scan go ok? Thinking of you

coolcat - it's great to have you with us and so sorry to hear about the BFN

ooooh hatty - ouch at the sound of the internal examination. I think I have that to look forward to soon

hello 07MTW and madoldbird - it's great talking with you guys . DH's results are due end of this week or beginning of next week. They said it was 2-3 weeks for the results and he went on Thursday 7th Feb. He is getting a little nervous I think. I'll keep everyone posted on the results (he said I could )

Moadoldbird - that story about your DH made me smile and go a bit teary at the same time. Fingers crossed for you.

hello to scully MrsEi tapster lou

hatty Hopefully he will refer you to a gyne quicker if he suspects PCOS. Did you think you might have PCOS? Hope you're OK and it wasn't a shock

My scan is a week tomorrow, eeek. I'm thinking positive thoughts .

JB I know I was amazed that he suggested it..I think they're pretty quiet at the moment as they recently opened!

He seemed to think i have various symptoms of PCOS but it hadn't been spotted before because (a) I'm not overweight which is normally a factor and..

(b) I was on the pill for years and then got pregnant quite quickly after coming off it, so the symptoms were masked during my time on the pill and my cycle regulated by the pill when I first came off it allowing me to get pregnant..

ps was never cool enough for NME, probably more like Just Seventeen! Is that still going I wonder?

When is your liver scan? Soon I think?

hatty It is good your Dr will have a look at you before 1 year! Internals are horrible but at least it will let you know what is going on. Let us know how it goes.

Oooh I feel like nervous now, hanging out with chic short skirted six formers. I presume you are spending all your dinner money on cigarettes and the NME!!

Have looked on the net and found that it is an internal exam, link below if anyone else interested in reading about ovarian cysts..

Still thought the ovaries were higher up to reach than that!?

Yearrrggghhh, I hate internal exams
