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

Hi Lou - sorry AF showed up. We all know how disappointing that can be some cycles, but you will feel better soon.

Scully the best time to have sex is in the 2 days before ovulation and the day of ovulation. You will normally ovulate within 36 hours of the first positive OPK, so it is a sign to get to it! You haven't missed the boat.

Bucky less of the paranoia. TTC takes ages and you can't be virtuous all of the time. Let us know how you go with the test.

Ei good luck for re-testing. How many dpo are you?

Morning all...

Lou sorry you feel down today. It is pretty rubbish when TEW turns up. After 10 months of this, I've come to realise that after a couple of days I generally feel better and soldier on to the next cycle. Maybe you will too? .

I am all paranoid today. I had 5 G&Ts last night (over 5 hours) so not awful but not great either. Geez I sound like a right alkie . Anyway, now I am all convinced that because I have eaten fatty junk all week, have drunk more than my fair share of gin and have forgotten take my FA and didn't test with FMU or a decent test SODs law may mean there is a chance. Crazy I know but I don't really feel AF coming on....or maybe she is tricking me??? I'll be back here in a hour informing everyone she has turned up you watch!

Just wanted to come out of my own selfish little world and say good luck to the other testers this weekend, hope all went well and you have very sticky beans!

hi all - bad news AF came with a vengance last night. I feel so stupid for actually thinking i might be pregnant, haviing had cramping for several days and boobs that hurt when DH looked at them funny!
Cant cope with it this month, the pain and bleeding just made me relive the MC all over again as it was so heavy. I cant stop crying, it just feels so heartbreaking. I feel like its never going to happen.

I am also spending the day with my beautiful nieces who are 2yrs and 3months, but dont know how im going to look at them without crying.
Cant even have chocolate as decided to give it up for lent, AND im on b*dy weightwatchers!
Sorry for moaning but feel so crap. Why do we put ourselves through this?

Swaliswan - hope you have better news than i did.

Am feeling a bit today. It's CD 28 and I am convinced that I'm not pg. Just waiting for AF to come tomorrow so that I can have a few tears then look forward to the fun part of ttc next month

Should probably have added to that last comment, that with my previous 3 pregnancies, I used an online ovulation calendar to get an idea of my fertile days, and it was accurate all 3 times, but every time we conceived, dh and I only managed once, at the end of the date range we were given (yes, there's a pattern of slackness emerging )
Is this anything to take notice of? (the timing, not the slackness )
Scully goes off to continue talking to herself, whilst the rest of you sleep

Low carb diet, don't think I could manage that. I actually just need to drink less white wine/champers, that's my main problem
Well cd14 today and dh and I have been very slack the last 2 nights and haven't done anything except sleep So have to make up for that tonight/tomorrow/Tues. Got 1st positive for the month with an opk this morning so hopefully we aren't too late? What do you all knowledgeable ladies think? Did you do another test EI? Sorry you got a bfn Bucky, hope you enjoyed your night out though.

Good luck for tomorrow Ei. (and pass me the pud while you're at it. After a month the low carb diet bit the dust, but then I have lost 4 kg so it is not all bad).
Sorry to hear about BFN Bucky, but at least you can enjoy a guilt-free drink.
Hi Swaliswan - it's nice to meet you.

hello everyone. Got stuck in an 11.5 hour meeting yesterday with only toilet breaks to relieve the monotony, so no MN for me on Friday .

I'm so sorry to hear that you got a BFN Bucky. Go to the doctor and make sure you get a good looking one . i suppose that means a guilt free gin tonight

hello to swaliswan - i don't think we have "met" before .

digitalgirl - we knew your little digi-bean was a sticker , Bucky is pyschic. She reads tea leaves and everything. That is absolutely brilliant news and LOL at you going into strict mum mode already at 7+3

Hi to MrsEi, mibbes, hatty, scully, jollybear and the rest of the 2WW-ers.

i thought I got some EWCM this morning to jumped on DH. A bit early at CD8, but you never know.

I haven't actually been feeling my (.)(.)'s at all!!
In that my hands have not prodded them into submission, they are doing it on their own

oh dear, methinks the lady doth protest too much?
and she isn't really making any sense

ah so sorry bucky but, as mibbes says, enjoy your night guilt free. Not that that is great compensation, we all understand, but you gotta get something out of these rotten old BFN's, eh?

We were up until ridiculous hours scully!! mrsei was worse than me though, And she was sneaking around filling fridges with delicious donoughts!! I still have some left, anyone fancy one before their dinner?

Bucky so sorry you got BFN, but as you know it's not over until TEW shows.. Did you use FMU ? Don't give up all hope, but you have the green light to have far too many gins tonight and I suppose a wee breast exam by Doctor Gorgeous will take your mind off it if AF does come. > mibbes xx

Actually given my last comment maybe that should be....

'think i have to a pay a visit to doctor [smile['

rather than

'think i have to pay a visit to the doctor '

I feel a breast examination coming on

Well, I have a big night out tonight, so I tested. No surprise here I am afraid, BFN . AF due tomorrow and I am 11 dpo so I am thinking its pretty accurate. Think I may have to pay a visit to the doctor.. Good luck to everyone else testing.

Bucky, like the sound of your gp Does he realise you will get violent if his diagnosis' aren't correct
Don't like the sound of yours though EI
Stopped feeling your boobs yet TF??
Hello Swaliswan, welcome, there's lots of useful waffle on this thread
Hot here again today, spent the day with the dd's at a birthday pool party for a friend of dd1. Tough life I know

ei I was told that I would have problems becuse I'd been diagnosed with PCOS. My first pg ended in a mc and then my periods didn't return. A blood test to confirm that I wasn't ovulating along with other symptoms and a scan confirmed PCOS. But, they refused to treat me as I was slim. We were told to go away and try for a year although if we wanted we could be prescribed clomid after six months trying. I didn't expect to get pg last time as I had assumed that I wouldn't be ov about day 12-14 in my cycle if at all. We were going to wait until DH was back from Iraq to officially try but in the meantime we were just going to enjoy ourselves. I only did an HPT to prove to myself that my vague symptoms were because AF was on her way. Imagine my surprise when a cross appeared in the window!

Goodness knows what is going to happen this time. I was so pleased when my AF returned as it meaned that I must have ov and that we could ttc DC2. I hadn't really thought about how the 2ww part was going to make me feel. I have got so many symptoms but I don't think that I am pg and that makes me feel

oh lordy, not for Aaaages!
FF says I am only 4dpo, LP is norm 11 days, so between my belief that I ov'd on CD17 and FF saying CD19, and the UTI messing everything up, I guess I can test in 6-7 days And I really ought to leave it until later.
See! Aaaaages!!
Boobs feel like they are swelling as I sit here. No, I am not prodding them!!

eh,no, that was not a mammoth ramble, have you seen my 2 rambles, not even content to just post once, no I posted twice!!
People have tried to contend with my title of fairy the great rambler but none have succeeded

I am fine, DH away at mo, so feelin a bit more tired cos of having to do it all alone. But TBH all I miss is his cooking dinner(as regards looking after DD, obv I miss him just cos) Men, they try but really, we do most of the work don't we girls?

My right boob is a little sore now and again.
Can it be a symptom, please, pretty please!!
Still leaking (if I try) but then a friend told me today that hers do too and she is not TTC and stopped feeding before me. So looks like it is not really a symptom.

LOL at the breast examination bucky
My dentist is of that ilk. I was 8 months pregnant when I saw him for the first time, then he spoke, in a soft kiwi accent,....swooon
seeven, ooh how lovely.

Hello swaliswan I don't have any advice but thought I would say hi. I know a lady who got pregnant on her first try on her first AF whilst BF her DD, so I hope it all goes well for you too, if that is what you want. I, on the other hand, did not get pregnant on my first go whilst BF my DD. And still haven't got my BFP 7 months later. Not that I am bitter, moi??

Have I said yoohoo weehay to DG and her digibean yet?
Well, YooHoo, Yeeha! Sooo pleased that it has gone well. I know a lady who had heavy bleeds with both her DD's and the pregnancy went on perfectly fine afterwards. Scared the life out of her, more so the second time, but she has 2 beautiful little girls now so all ended well

I am in a chatty mood tonight amn't I?!

OMG mrsei how has that locum made me feel? To actually roll his eyes at you!?

My surgery quite often has a locum in place of a doc. My experience has always been positive. In fact it was the locum who took my HG (extreme MS, what is the abbreviation again?) seriously and sent me to hospital. The main doctor, and I don't go to her anymore, just told me that I was doing fine and smiled about it.
Found out afterward that people get anti-sickness drugs if they are sick more than 2-3 times. I was hourly, and being told that I was 'doing fine'!!
I thank god for my mum and that locum.

Actually, come to think on it, my docs isn't very good is it?
One has no clue about pregnancy (due to never having gone through it), shook like a leaf when she had to do DD's jabs at 3mo and totally freaked out when she accidentally took some retained placenta out when doing my after birth check up and the other is incredibly judgmental. Although, I do think he is a nice, older, man really. Just trying to make you think more about your health I guess

So they have left you with a UTI, and a bad back, have they mrsei?
