Right, not going to test until AF due, not going to obsess over sore boobs, not going to think about baby names, not going to give up alcohol. Anyone want to join me in pretending to not obsess about symptoms/lack of?

thanks PrePG I hope you get some icing too! In fact I hope there's enough icing to go around all of us. I think we deserve it!

PrePG · 08/05/2008 17:34

Well done to you for ovulating by yourself! and I'm secretly hoping for some icing for you anyway! xx

I dont' want to symptom spot either, but the temptation is very strong!

FruitynNutty · 08/05/2008 17:25

Interesting PrePG My actual breasts are fine, not sore but I just got that weird electricity shock type throbbing through my nipple this morning. Fine now.
I really really dont wanna start symptom spotting. I'm just amazed I actually o'd this time round. If I'am preg too it really would be the icing on the cake as my original plan was to get preg by May so I have the baby and lose the weight before my wedding next Aug, I just assumed I was bound to fall preg within 9 months - I had no idea about the PCOS. But, really, if I'm not preg, I wont be overly surprised, just very happy I managed to Ovulate all by myself

PrePG · 08/05/2008 17:08

Ooooh, Fruity me too! I remember when I was pregnant last time that my breasts were really sore. I'm kicking myself for not paying more last month (which was our first month post mc and we were not TTCing) to compare what it's like when I KNOW I'm not pg. But this time, my boobs are out of control. Not just sore, they actually hurt! and I get weird pains in my nipples - especially if they brush up against something...and we're both 7dpo. Coincidence?

Hi FYM!

Beanie I only have a 10-11 day LP, so I'm due Monday as well. Fingers crossed for us all!

FruitynNutty · 08/05/2008 17:05

Oh good beanie I'm 7dpo today so I guess you can call that "around ovulation"

Hi Fym when is AF due?

fym · 08/05/2008 16:56

hello - can I join you? - I'm 3 DPO today....

beaniesteve · 08/05/2008 16:52

FruityNutty I get what I call twinges in my boobs when I am around ovulation. It's only something I have noticed recently though!

beaniesteve · 08/05/2008 16:51

I think I ovulated on Friday 2nd or Sat 3rd so really I am only 5 DPO. I would love to think 'ooh it's implantation' but I have had cystitis and pinkish stains on the loo paper at the same time before so I think it's just that

Ovulation was on day 15/16 of a 24 day cycle so I am due to get my period sunday/monday/tuesday I guess.

FruitynNutty · 08/05/2008 16:48

Afternoon girls

Beanie I dont know anything about cystitis I'm afraid poor you

As I'm not used to being at a "past ovulation" stage in my cycles I was wondering if it is normal to get shooting pains though your nipples? My left one gave me such a shock earlier, like throbbing shooting pains. Only for about 10-15 seconds though. I'm sure it's nothing, I just notice every bloody thing at the moment!

Squack · 08/05/2008 16:42

what dpo are you on beanie?

beaniesteve · 08/05/2008 16:30

I thought this might be the case.
I have had checks in the last few months but am a bit woried that the infection is making me bleed a bit.

PrePG · 08/05/2008 15:20

I think it could be the frequency of sex. Also I think it could be the amount of time before, erm, cleaning up. When we're not TTC, I run to the bathroom, but if we are, I try to stay for as long as I can. I heard that that can cause irritation or infection. But I'm no doctor! You should probably get checked out.

beaniesteve · 08/05/2008 15:09

Am concerned. I think I have cystitis. For the last couple of days I have elt like I want to wee all the time but haven't had any pain. However, I just went to the loo and tried to pee and got that painful drawing in you get with cystitis. I also had a pinkish stain when I wiped.

I have had cystitis about 3 times in the last year, once I had to go and get anti-biotics but teh other times I just used those sachets and drank loads of cranberry juice.

I've had a check for chlamydia and a general round of tests done to look for anything which may be causing infection and it was all clear.

Are some people just more likely to get Cystitis or could it be having so much sex?

PrePG · 08/05/2008 15:00

Well...it would be exciting if it was positive. But I don't think it will be

tousletop · 08/05/2008 10:09

Monday, prePG, that's really exciting!

PrePG · 08/05/2008 10:02

No problem, tousletop I haven't used OPK's but considering so I have a better handle on when it's coming - although, that said, I've consistently O'd CD18, 19 or 20 since I started charting.

Sorry Yellowflowers I know it can be tough. We actually did conceive first cycle of trying, but had a miscarriage, so it feels like a long time that we've been TTC focused even though we had only tried for one cycle prior to mc. I find myself having mixed emotions about people who have pregnancies that go off without a hitch and then I feel horrible and guilty and hate myself afterward.

Oooh, I think I've Beanie beat I'm due on Monday. We'll have to test together!!!!

Welcome to 2BGs and babyignoramus

tousletop · 08/05/2008 09:43

Hi 2BG, should be due by 17th I think..

Beanie, you'll be the first to hopefully have a BFP!

Yellow, isn't it awful that we can't just be selflessly happy for good fortune in other people? Really really wish I could.

Gorgeous day - want to be sitting outside a pub by 2pm at latest with large glass white wine, like all happy non obsessed with TTC people....

yellowflowers · 07/05/2008 23:46

my best friend also pg after just one cycle of trying. mix of emotions from me...

troublewithdd · 07/05/2008 21:43

i really feel for you all, my first child took 18 months to conceive, then number 2, took 2 and half years to conceive, then surprise no. 3- 15 months later. They are now 8, 5 and nearlt 4. So don't give up girls...............hang on it there. xxx

beaniesteve · 07/05/2008 21:39

Count me in. 2ww started around the 4th for me I think. I have a short cycle though so am due on Tuesday/Wednesday!

2beautifulgirls · 07/05/2008 20:03

I think so, hopefully it will be our lucky month this month. Then we can be on the antenatal threads together
When are you due AF?

tousletop · 07/05/2008 19:55

The other thing I meant to say PrePG is that I've heard that you're meant to be more fertile after a mc for a couple of months.
Hi again 2BG, weren't we waiting together last month?

2beautifulgirls · 07/05/2008 19:30

Can i join please i'm due AF 18/05 think i ov friday or saturday CD13-14 as had EWCM both those days.
We're TTC #3 and this is our third cycle.

tousletop · 07/05/2008 19:22

Sorry PrePG, I don't know why I assume that other people should know whats going on when I don't have a clue
I was also all over place this month - had no ewcm (normally have for 5 days or so), so BD on day 12. We were going to wait for positive OPK as DHs swimmers a bit rubbish, but thought it would be OK. Then next day masses of ewcm, and following day OPK positive, so BD that night. Really annoyed that could have missed fertile day, as I used the digital kit first thing in the morning, so could have already ov by the time it became positive, I think. Anyone know anything about it? (also first time we BD it was a bit rubbish - and I think the swimmers may have ahem, swum in the wrong direction)
Babyig - despite everything we're all doing, nothing could be better that just BD every 2 days and chilling out about it, and we might all have happier DHs like yours

babyignoramus · 07/05/2008 19:05

Can I join in too?

Haven't ovulated yet but know from when I've had breaks from the pill before that I tend to have a short cycle with an early ovulation so should be any day now! And will be able to test in 2 weeks so I think I qulaify for this thread....!

Haven't bothered with charting yet (this will be my first DC), so instead have BD'd every day for the last week and am going to do it every day until the end of my cycle. DH is loving it (although knackered!).

Fingers crossed for me and everyone else!
