WHAT DO WE WANT??...BFPs WHEN DO WE WANT THEM??...NOW!!!! symptom spotters and 2wwaiters brand spanking new thread [grin]

Oh wow scary! That is great news!! Congrats! I told you being my cycle buddy was lucky, I can work my magic in only seven days . Roll up, roll up to be my next cycle buddy!!

hatty Oooh I think the trout sounds very nice . Have a lovely time. Hope the man-flu has gone.

GG You sound in a good mood for someone expecting AF, that could be a symptom.... In the Zita West book I've just got, there is a big section on male sperm and how to 'improve' it. I don't know how effective her suggestions are (mainly a zillion vitamins, no booze, no caffine etc) but it might be worth a read.

bucky Glad the appointment has been made. How did it go with your new dog Molly? Has she arrived yet?

MOB Enjoy your day out and about!

MTW Great to see you. Glad all is well with you.

mibbes LOL at "slippery wipe" too! Feeling pregnant yet?!

CD8 here so still v boring! AF still hasn't quite gone so can't get any bd practice in yet. Oh well, best not start too early and tire DH out!!

hatty - have you got your saucy underwear looked out for your night away

ooooh, definietly the three onion tart (gryffin's mouth watering at the thought of it) washed down with LOTS of French fizzy stuff (also on the off chance you are PG - everyone seemed to get PG after a night of incautious drinking )

Scaryhairy!! Congratulations!!! That's such exciting news . I think? Slightly confused by your post! It doesn't take much to confuse me nowadays though!

GG hoping you have somehow got AF symptoms wrong. And that Mr GG gets some better news from the docs this time.

Bucky fingers crossed for your husband's appointment too.

I officially don't know what cycle day I am on, that clearly will lead to a BFP this month and I will join Mibbes and Scary in the December club. Very excited about our night away tonight, in a hotel with no small children, dinner and a bar and everything.

I am so sad that I have already looked at the menu online and worked out what I would like to eat! Yum.

Do you reckon the Three Onion and Parmesan Tart or Smoked Trout with Lime Vinaigrette to start?

x-posts with mibbes, sorry m'dear - you are absolutely right. It is lovely to have everyone here . I am in a very happy mood today despite depressing imminent arrival of AF because it is sunny outside, I am going on a diet (I resolved to do so at 8am this morning and be lythe and damn gorgeous by the first week in June) and there are lots of lovely BFP's for wonderful ladies on here.

DH has his follow up appointment on Monday. I'll get him to brave the scary receptionist and call the surgery at 3 seconds past noon today for his results. Hopefully they are there - they were all delayed because the lab technicians go on holiday for weeks over Easter . He did the last test on 7th March, so it's about time we got them back.

oooh, forgot to say hello to *madoldbird8 - what's happening with you m'dear? Is your fully mended after his accident? I hope so

Bucky - brilliant news about Mr Bucky booking his appointment (BuckyBloke? ). Does he get the results quickly? DH's next round is on Monday, after that we will have our chat about going private to a fertility specialist. He hates to be rushed into things and would dig his heels in, so I have bitten my tongue this far.
p.s. - you don't need Botox!!

GG it is like the good old days with all the old faces popping back (obviously I don;t mean as in ancient I mean as in familiar !) Whe do you get DH's results, is it next week ?

Good morning everyone!

This is a lovely happy thread today . I can't believe we have more wonderful BFP news for Scary. It's brilliant for you! HUGE CONGRATULATIONS!!! I have performed another of my special dances round the office for you this morning scary, 'cause I didn't want you to feel left out after did my TTC Dance for mibbes . It's sort of like the David Brent Dance, only better

Woweee ladies, we are on a BFP roll! Who is next? We were due lots of BFP's after a long drought and now mibbes and scary are off to join the Due in Dec thread! Ahhhh

Bucky - ahhh, the history of the 2ww thread. The have been some illustrious members on this old thread and soem very notable graduates. DG was our temping and charting guru and we miss her. I had quite forgotten my Cannon Street Defective Test - I have boycotted that Boots ever since even for a bottle of Frizz Ease I was desperate for last week. I walked to Superdrug in the rain just to show them they can't mess with GryffinGirl and her Clear Blue Fairy . Ha, I don't think I'll ever graduate at this rate what with DH's swimmers needing zimmers to get out the starting box. In years to come I'll be the batty old biddy who hangs round the TTC boards dispensing folic acid and sage advice on sperm counts .

D'ya know, I think all this success calls for a thread meet up some time.....??

hello to 07MTW - it's been ages. It's great to have you back!!!

hatty - how are you today?

jolly - it would be bliss if we all got BFP's for a December due date. That would be perfect.

BIG hello to MrsEi, Picknmix Shakeysgirl beanie and everyone else.

And now for the me me me me bit . Well, although I claim to have stopped counting (well, to DH anyway) I am CD28 today and with my clockwork cycle you could set your watch to, I'm getting the usual ominous mild cramping down there indicating, no doubt, that AF is on her way to catch another perfectly good pair of M&S-ers. Sooooo, I am on knicker watch today . Nothing in the way of blood yet, but it will come. AF arriving with her usual "TA DAAAAA!" is hardly bl**dy surprising in the circumstances, so i don't know why i get all het up with PG symptom spotting and finger crossing that it will be my month. BUT I really can't help it. Every month I get my hopes up only for them to come crashing down. It's very hard, isn't it. I don't think it will ever be my month .

But enough of such gloom

BuckY - cheer me up with news of Finn's training exploits .

Aw O7MTW nice to see you back

Scaryhairy shock . I am a little lost though, obviously congratulations are in order but did you do another test after your post where you saw a feint line? Anyway, I am really pleased for my old cycle buddy.

DP booked the appointment (the Botox thread obviously did the trick ) 8 April at 8.30am...ages away.

Aahh thanks MTW, ti is lovely of you to keep popping back - I'm never leaving this thread, am too comfy now ! Let us know how your scan goes in 2 weeks

Just so much to catch up on it's impossible but I had to say congratulations to Mibbes

And Scary congratulations to you too

I know you'd all desperately wish to move on to an ante-natal thread but when I come back to the 2WW thread (all be it has had various names!) there is such a warm feeling, I do miss you lot. Bucky GG Hatty Mrsei Jollybear picknmix to name but a few (sorry if I've missed anyone out). I do hope you all get your BFP's soon.

Thanks MOET. It's a bit of a shock. DH has sensibly decided to wait a couple of weeks before getting too excited.

I've just been thinking that it is just as well that I chart my temps, otherwise I would have no idea that I could be pregnant and would have proceded with "operation get totally hammered" this Saturday night!

I'm going to go see the Dr pretty soon - next week maybe - as I think I might need an early scan to figure out what on earth has gone on, what caused all that bleeding and what my dates are.

Have a lovely day everyone, can't wait to see who's next . Have we ever had 2 on the same day from this thread before?

Not much work is going to get done today!

Just getting ready to go off to work, but popped in quick to check for news, and wow scaryhairy can't believe it!!!! So very pleased for you. So who's next?! Come on ladies, we're on a roll.

Good morning everyone else. Out and about today, so won't be around, but hope you all have a good day. X

You really are Ei.
Thank God my veiny boobs aren't for nothing!

I still maintain that those tests were faulty!!

Gosh, ei is never going to let me live this down!

Am so pleased for you missus - hurray for finding that freebie CBD, I bet you are glad you complained to CB now - but hey the test was correct all along

I was 15 dpo when I started bleeing. Looking at it now, my temps never dipped below the cover line, even though I had 5 days of bright red bleeding complete with clots.

I am totally stunned.

My mother carried on getting her period when she was pregnant with me and with my brother, so maybe I am the same.

Scary posted for you on your 3ww thread ! This is so exciting, how many dpo were you when 'AF' arrived ? You may be one of the few who continue to have AF while PG ! ooohhh am on the edge of my seat - go and buy a test for the morning if you don't have a stash

LOL at "that was a slippy wipe"!!

JB I am CD7, but am having a very odd time - I've posted details on a new thread, but my temps are creeping back up and there may be a line on the test I just did. This is too bizarre for words, so any wise thoughts most absolutely welcome.

Lovely to see you again Bucky.

Hello to the rest, Ei and Hatty and anyone else.

LOL Bucky love the recap of the last few months ! DG was the first MNer to respond to my 'am I PG ?' thread in October ! and then when I dropped in here a few weeks later you were all so welcoming. I won't be leaving here properly until you all graduate .
That is 'interesting' about your headache... I never have normal headaches which is why I took note as I found that unusual... I sooooo hope it is a good sign for you. I am so amused by lack of symtpoms I have this cycle ! Slightly tingly boobs from 9/10 dpo until yesterday (haven't had anything today). I have had loads in previous cycles ! JB I think we probably always had these signs but just weren't paying such close attention to our bodies - e.g. I can't believe I didn't know what EWCM was, I used to think 'ooh that was a slippy wipe' ! Now I am like EWCM-hunter every month!

I don't keep a spreadsheet but I must confess to having a list of 'symptoms' which of course have been symptoms of... AF . It did help me realise I get lots of 'early pregnancy symptoms' pre AF, e.g feeling really thirsty. I'm hoping it will prevent false 'symptom spotting' in the future!! I'm sure I never used to have any idea when AF was going to arrive though particularly with my irregular cycles, I wonder if they are psychosomatic .

I like the history of the 2ww'ers bucky. I'm looking forward to the last bit . I'll keep my fingers firmly crossed for you and hatty, and GG, well everyone! Wouldn't it be lovely if we could all get a December BFP and move over together? Unlikely but ideal .

DG was my cycle buddy when she got her BFP - lets hope I'm still lucky scaryhairy!

Thanks Mibbes, we have been getting some random daytime bding in (whilst putting toddlers in front of tv downstairs - bad bad parents emoticon). Maybe the change of time might just work for us!

Bucky, smiling at your story. It's a bit like the end of Big Brother where Davina does the "now here are your best bits from the house" (cue shots of random drunken slapper/narcisstic bloke running around and crying).

Can't believe we've been going since last summer. DG must be showing a bit of a bump by now! (wistful emoticon)..

Oh and Hatty....make mine a G&T (slimline tonic).

Once upon a time there was a cyber buddy called CBCB who started the 2ww thread. DG welcomed Bucky in and soon she was chatting with many fun folk. Then GG had a dramatic Boots episode in Canon Street Station and the cyber world was rapt. One day CBCB changed her name to Hatty Yellow and the Muppet Muggle found a new boyfriend and left the thread (um that may have been the waiting room ). Somebody got yellow orange feet, windy nips and many games of cervical pursuit were played. It was very cosy in the 2ww house.

One fine day everyone on the thread got a BFP and they all lived happily ever after.

The End

No Mibbes really interesting. I had a stonking headache yesterday, had to take an anadin (sp?) for the first time in probably a year and felt really queasy (probably because of the headache). Maybe there is hope. We should all keep such a thorough diary of proceedings (no sarcasm intended). Dread to think what my diary would look like .

OMG, sorry ladies. All about me and my BFP - am starting to bore myself !
