2ww starting now - (may 6th) - join me?

Hi 2BG, thanks for asking Hi all, hope everyone doing ok tonight. I am on CD, er, let me see... 17, and 3dpo (assuming 28 day cycle). Am trying to BD every other day this week to maximise opportunity! Came off the pill two months ago, since then I had 1st AF as "normal", if not slightly longer (lasting 7 days instead of 5) then 2 weeks in, light bleeding for a few days. Got 2nd AF on day 33 from original AF. So don't know what's going on! Have had 3 periods in 2 months, heck.

Anyway, am going to assume 28 day cycle and test on 22nd May. Last time in September which ended in mc, I was so sure it wouldn't happen for months that I didn't bother doing (or even buying) a test until 4 days late. It was negative, which I was expecting. When AF hadn't arrived by day 6 I did another test and got a verrrrry faint positive. Squint and you'd miss it. (The tests were only cheap Superdrug ones, so sure was I that I definately wasn't pg - no point splashing out on the pricey ones hey!!) I lurked on MN and gathered a "line is a line is a line"! so decided to buy a Clearblue the next day which showed a most definate BFP!and then I was shocked.

I doubt I'd be that lucky twice, so am preparing mentally for the long haul.

Afternoon everyone,

Well done on completing your 10K run Bamamama What CD are you?

We have been in the garden all day a little bit red now....

Only a week until i test! If i last that long

Who is the next tester?

We're in the same boat beanie, my monitor's been flashing 'm' at me for 3 days.

It clearly is as clueless as me

Day 24. My monitor is flashing a little 'm' but still no period for me.

2BG, glad to hear your grandad is on the mend.

Pixiepod, sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I had an early mc 5 yrs ago but then went on to have a text book pregnancy with ds. I'm sure you will too

Well, did my 10k and survived then realised that the last time I did a 10k was 5 years ago just before I found out I was pg (the mc one). So, really trying to not look for coincidences!

Also really trying not to even peep at the Due Jan 09 thread. I'm so heading for a fall!

Sore boobs and feeling 'full' today. Was in a terrifically bad mood yesterday (although DH was to blame for that) so jury is still out.

Hope you enjoy your weekend ladies.

pixiepod sorry to hear of your MC last year.
What CD are you?

I've just got back from the hospital and Grandad is a little better than yesterday, still very confused, they believe he has an infection but need to do more tests to ascertain where.
Thank you to everyone who has posted message about him.

So tonight i have really sore nipples that always seem erect

Hi 2BG, glad to hear your grandad is stablising. Yes is my first (would be my first) DC if I am fortunate enough to conceive. Had a MC last September - (was on cycle 1 so was big surprise when conceived, then lost, so soon) and haven't felt up to trying again until now. I have read lots of the ttc threads and is really reassuring to feel you're not on your own in this exciting but nerve wracking journey!!

Last time I remember I felt a sharp pain in right side around ovulation (and obviously conceived that time) but this time, no twinges so far. Am paranoid am not ovulating. I guess I should just give it time!

I'm Spotty, am on day 23 of a 24 day cycle and still no spotting. Have been carrying heavy things all mrning (doing the garden and going to the dump) - not sure if I should be. Ah well.

2bg - glad your Grandad is doing ok.

2BG so pleased your grandad ok. Apparently lots of hayfever this year because of all oilseed rape being planted for biofuel... You must be a good wife to go near DH on the morning after such a night before, my DH always vile in these circumstances.

Morning everyone...

Welcome pixiepod Is this your first DC?

Tousle the cramps could be implantation

We had a GOF this morning as DH was too engrossed with beer and making music to notice me last night He only had a few but was snoring like a horse and did some weird things during the night? He got up to go to the toilet, went into DD2 room then came out took his boxers off on the landing and left them there then went to pee! Couldn't remember any of it this morning! then has been sick this morning, serves him right

So how is everyone feeling? Any symptom spotting
i'm spotty, snotty, starving all the time, and past few morning been waking up with my eys stuck together all crusty Not attractive at all. Never had hayfever. Plus my eyes are red this morning and sore!

My nan called this morning and Grandad is doing ok, taking her up to the hospital later, she was going to get the bus bless her! Can you believe at our local visiting is for an hour a day?

Hello all - I'm in Oz so end of the day here. Been crampy all day but not due on until Tues at earliest. Of course never feel cramps normally - just super sensitive at the moment! I'm doing a 10k run in the morning, hope I don't feel so bloated and nauseous as I do this evening (although that could have been the spag bol....)

2BG hope you had some fun last night, might b woth a GOF tonight too

Thanks PrePG, had a BBQ and wine last night, and didn't mention TTC once to DH, going to try to be more que sera que sera about it all... and nicer to him. Thought I might order him some treats and maybe waiting for those will take mind off waiting for AF.
I would clutch at those straws, surely that's what mid cycle spotting often is?

Yellow - I didn't think tests could be positive this early (but had to be worth a try!)

I'm getting period like cramps with still a week to go, does this just mean AF going to be early? Doesn't mean anything awful like endometriosis does it??? As if I need another thing to worry about...

Hi there everyone, I'm new to this thread, am ttc this month - cycle 1 - so just to say good luck to everyone for this month. Once started ttc it seems can think of nothing else!!

Yelloflowers what dpo are you on???

Hi bamamama you never know, it is possible to happen 1st cycle. Unfortunately most of us have been waiting months and months I hope you dont have to!

Yeah, just go for it 2BG might as well I'm gonna keep BDing until I get AF as I'm not sure if FF is gonna take away my ov lines or not.

Hi bamamama

TMI ALERT
Just went to the toilet and wiped a lot of CM!!! So do i GOF tonight? As i thought i OV last friday saturday as has EWCM then? Could i just be OV late? i am on CD 20 last cycle was 30 days? Suggestions anyone?

Hi Bamamama Tousletop so sorry you're so stressed. A nice Friday night dinner with some nice wine with my DH always helps me relax!

and 2BGs How awful your Nan and Grandad. Here's hoping he has a quick recovery.

My chart this month has been less than exciting I'm 8dpo and had a little temp dip and a little bit of spotting this morning. I usually don't start to spot until at least 9dpo if I do at all, so hoping it's implantation {clutching at straws - clutch clutch clutch}

hello there, can you count me in too? Been lurking so I may as well contribute!

This is our first cycle of ttc #2. Haven't signed up to FF as I thought I wait a few months before becoming a hardcore ttc-er.

I'm due sometime between next Tues and Thurs but am planning to test on Sat 17th (if I get that far).

I'm assuming that we won't be successful this time around but really struggling with not symptom spotting! We shall see....good luck everyone

I think I will just wait until pay day - Next Thursday - as I have no tests in the house so can't actually test unless I sneak to the shops at the weekend and get some.

Sorry, that didn't make sense , I just meant that the people that 'weren't really trying' seem to get BFPs immediately!

2BG - as far as I can tell, not putting much effort into it seems to be a recipe for success most of the time

Fingers crossed Beanie, you're so nearly there that every day with no spotting/bleeding is a bonus. Are you going to test before Monday?

Thanks tousletop, probably is just an infection i know, he is in the right place now. They will sort him out.....
Takes my mind off poas at only 6-7 dpo!!!!
No have decided to test day AF due or even later IF i can manage it. Not that i'm expecting it to be positive as haven't really put much effort in to be honest.
So when is everyone testing?
