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

Just did a test and got another BFN (used predictor).

Perhaps I am just going to have a long cycle this time

Jollybear you have my heartfelt sympathies with a 56 day cycle! I used to have really long cycles when ttc no1. It used to really depress me.

I have tried to look back at my cycles (I record them discreetly on the kitchen calendar so I know when I am due). Back in August I had a 35 day cycle but Last time it was 32 days, the three previous to that were 28 days.

As I have had a long cycle before I think it would be wise to wait a bit more before testing again.

Having said that I have been weeing for England this morning and now feel distinctly faint and strange now that it is lunchtime (and it can't be hunger as I have eaten 4 biscuits this morning).

Also I went to bed last night at 11.00 and then went to the loo at 12.00is and and again at 4ish and then woke up at 6.50 desperate again!

• time will tell no doubt.

willmouse - I think you need to change your posting name to willPOWER, because you have so much of it . I would be testing away if it was me, but I am very impatient. Get thee to Boots for a CBD!

scully do you ahve a condition called scoliosis, which means you see a chiropractor? My friend had it.

hello scaryhairy - we've missed you and I am so sorry to hear that you have been feeling down. I have had a few emotional ups and downs with TTC recently, so I can empathise with convincing yourself you are PG and then getting woefully disappointed. Please do not give up and we are here if you need a moan.

Jollybear - hang in there and get the scan out of the way.

Well, I took your advice 07MTW and went for a reflexology sessio this morning. Quite naughty of me, 'cause I told work it was a doctor's appointment as she coudl only fit me in during office hours. It was lovely and I am suddenly feeling all fertile and serene . Send all your baby dust this way (the sticky sort ).

I haven't had another in-depth discussion with DH about the testing, mainly because he's getting home at midnight and leaving the house at 7am. I have told him,calmly, that I want him to go this week or we will have an "issue" (and I'm not talking the white stuff with swimmers in it. Aarghh, can't believe I just wrote that on a public forum!). Next week the key week for TTC and you have to go without BD-ing for three whole days before the test, which is not an option at that time of the month, so before you know it you've wasted another week. Lo and behold...it's March before he gets round to it.

I have decided to get things moving for me and booked another appointment at the GP without waiting for DH's results, which I was originally doing. Because my cycles are always super-regular I wanted to rule out a DH problem first before we went any further, but I am past that now.

Big hello to hattyyellow bucky mibbes MrsEi and everyone else.

picnmix have you moved house yet? You will now have to "christen" every room by BD-ing in it

I'm usually very good at not testing but I ov'ed so late this cycle, I'm on CD56!! It has been going on so long now.

I hope AF stays away for you. How long are your cycles usually willmouse?

I think 12days PO could be too early. Don't give up yet.

I did a test at CD33 got a BFN - I am now on day CD36 with no sign of AF.

I have extraordinary willpower with regard to not testing. At least at the moment I have a bit of hope. I am going to wait another 2 days I think.

I meant days past ov (DPO) not cd sorry. It was a bit early willmouse although some lucky ladies do get a BFP on 9DPO

Are you going to retest? You have much more willpower than me obviously!!

Jollybear - perhaps it was a bit too early to test. Don't give up hope.

Can you get a BFP on day CD12?!

Hello all,

SH nice to see you back

bucky MrsE I hope your backs are better soon.

GG It is my next cycle I'll have to sit out because of my scan .

mibbes FF says that you should record the MOST fertile CM that you have experienced in a day so even if you have a bit of EWCM then you should record it as such. I sometimes think there should be more options, levels of EWCM etc

Well remembered mibbes HCB! I'm on CD12 now but had a BFN yesterday. I was really miserable about it last night but this morning my temp rose to it's highest ever (36.97 - toasty!) and has given me hope again. I'm like this at the mo: I could be... I'm not... You were silly for getting your hopes up... could I be... .

JollyBear HCB any plan to test soon - you must be at least 10dpo now...?
MrsEi well did you...?
Pinky I know how you feel as I had a PG "scare" in October last year when we weren't ttc, but when AF came I was surprised to find I was disappointed, that is what has prompted us to ditch the contraception . I believe that things happen for a reason and I wonder whether my body was trying to tell me something as time is ticking on for me but I was just ignoring the clock !
ScaryHairy lovely to see you again - let the symptom spotting commence... Well actually after MTW got her BFP symptoms are soo last season - we are now hoping for no symptoms as a definite sign that BFP on the way !!!
Could the FF ladies please advise. TMI alert - What should I put into FF if I have a mainly sticky day then have 1 stretchy CM wipe at night ? I feel that if I enter EWCM it suggests have been having it all day which is not the case atall, don't want to mislead FF ! Had another cloudy stretchy CM wipe this morning so it looks like my CM-improving efforts are paying off ! Still no +ve opk, maybe today. Oohhh this part is so much more exciting than the first 2 boring weeks !

So are you ttc now Pinky???!!!

Sorry, I am lurking around!

Sorry about AF Pinky. I was quite happy with things until I was in a similar situation back in October and I was so upset when AF arrived I decided that I didn't want to wait after all. Having said that look where it's got me!

I haven't done a clearblue digital yet - are they the ones which say 'pregnant' or 'not pregnant' - they sound best to me. Do they also pick up the hormone early?

I am on CD36 now. I tested on CD33 and got a BFP with a Tesco cheapie. That said I don't think I ov'd this cycle until around 23rd Jan - so that is 13 days ago. I am thinking that I should wait a few more days on that basis.

willmouse

AF came last night,i felt relief at the time, but this morning feel differently, i feel really low! Dont no why as wasn't ttc. So how abt u, have u done a cb digital yet, my result was accurate with the last one i did.

Can you see an osteopath or chiropractor or a bowen therapist ei? I've been seeing a chiropractor since I was 12 (so that's 25yrs, shhh). Am so glad my parents had the common sense to avoid surgery, like all the doctors were recommending, would have been the worst thing for me, as I was still growing. Can't remember the proper name for what I have, but one of my lower vertebrae didn't form properly so my lower back/pelvis etc slowly moves out of alignment over time, so I see a chiropractor every few months for a maintenance visit.
How is everyone today?

Can't remember who asked, but chiropractors are fine when you are pregnant, I saw one through both of my pregnancies. I would tell them though that you are ttc, in case you are, depending on what they are doing.
But bding is always good for a bad back
Good to hear you are feeling a little better GG, have you and dh talked anymore about things?
Scary, a low carb diet, that's enough to make anyone depressed
So who is next to test, out of the late people?

Hello Ei - nice to see you too. I had a feeling I wasn't the only hater of January around!

I will be spotting, although I am planning to take it a bit easy this cycle. Last time I managed to convince myself I was pregnant which was really not very clever!

Ok, I say that now but seriously, give it a few days and I will have imaginary implantation pains, morning sickness, sore boobs (from all the prodding) and the rest!

Ooooh - forgot to mention. Today I did 2 OPKs - same sample of wee - one clearblue digital and one Access Diagnostics.

I did this because I have been using AD cheapies for the last couple of weeks and while there has been a second line a couple of times it is not as dark or darker than the control line. And I was sure I was ovulating from the extraordinary amount of EWCM I saw.

Anyway, the Clearblue was positive, the AD was not. So if you are using AD OPKs you may need to keep an eye on symptoms too...

Hi everyone

I've been a bit down the past few weeks so have been avoiding this thread as I didn't feel like sharing the misery! (nothing major, probably feeling crap because it was January and because of my misreable low carb diet. Nothing a bun won't cure).

Anyway, I should (from tomorrow) be on my 2ww and in the meantime I can see I have got a lot of catching up to do.

Congratulations 07 - that's lovely news. Does anyone else have good news for me?

Ei - have you had any more fab dreams lately?

I am reasonably regular. Usually 28 days. I have gone over by a few days a couple of times but never by a week.

I have just had to change my bra

I used the cheap Tesco tests (2 for £3ish)

I think I will buy a better one if I have to test again.

Just dropping in before DH takes laptop from me

Thank you so much for your congrats. It still hasn't sunk in yet and I'm still terrified of CP I'm praying it's 3rd time lucky.

Shazza & Sarahnh How wonderful to hear from you. It's so nice of you to pop in with your congrats. I'm so pleased everything is going well for you.

And YES I did do reflexology, only 1 session in my first week of this cycle and I'm due another this Thursday so I'm hoping she will press all the right nerves etc to make this one stick My reflexologist lady specialises in pregnancy and labour so lets hope she can work wonders.

willmouse r u normally quite regular then! What test did u use?

I am also late (by about a week - perhaps a bit less). I have tested once and got a BFN byt AF still hasn't arrived.

I have just noticed that my boobs must be bigger as the underwire in my bra has made under my arms sore

ooh willmouse your late too?
