Hi! This 2ww is driving me crazy. Can't think of anything else. Have already done 2 tests Yesterday I had so many symptoms but today apart from being incredibly tired nothing. Anyone else?

Wow Yarnie Congratulations!!!!

This is amazing.

I am so happy for you.

This is a very lucky thread.

Feeling quite optimistic for the next cycle now.

Ella You have GOT to stick with this thread. I got a BFP! We have done very well on this thread!

Ella74 · 16/07/2008 11:45

Good luck Yarnie

Hope it's BFP.

Sorry to hear that, Ella Lots and lots of luck with your new, sparkly cycle.

I'm going to test today. I don't know whether AF is due today or on Friday, but either way, I have a high temp, so I thought I might as well test. Can't imagine it will be BFP, but it'll get rid of my urge to test and let me get on with my life until Friday!

Ella74 · 16/07/2008 11:38

AF has just arrived.

Yarnie When is your AF due? Have you tested?

OP posts:
Yarnie · 14/07/2008 12:08

Ella Let's hope we break the trend and it's both of us! There has been a spate of BFPs on other threads I'm on, so I'm really hoping some of the luck will rub off!

I am experiencing a little PMT this month A delivery man dropped off a bed we ordered and I gave him rather an earful when he said he couldn't help me take it upstairs. I had just discovered I was spotting, too, so he got it with both barrels I feel a bit sorry for him now!

Ella74 · 14/07/2008 12:02

No symptoms here + PMT + haven't been really trying this month so expecting AF at the weekend.

Congratulations Mandy Amazing news.

The ratio seems to be at least one of us a month. So Yarnie you or me next month?

Hey, Mandy! "Heard" your news on another thread. MANY congratulations! You must be thrilled

I've had a bit of a temp drop this morning, so I think I'm out. I'll stick with this thread though, it seems lucky

Yarnie · 12/07/2008 09:57

Hi All. I am 9-11 dpo (depending on when I ov'd) and have normal temps and no symptoms, so I am just urging AF on.

Any symptoms from you, Ella?

Ella74 · 11/07/2008 17:13

Hello !!! Yarnie and Mandy73

I have been away so was wondering how you got on? Any news?

I am 7DPO. Waiting game. Trying to keep calm.

Mandy73 · 04/07/2008 11:27

Hi Yarnie just to say hope you are feeling good today (I am ) anything interesting on a stick for you? Have a brilliant w/e & enjoy the festival tonight. xx

Yarnie · 03/07/2008 20:38

Sorry, Mandy I meant the second "line" on cheap opks. To get a positive on cheap opks you need a second line that is as dark as the control line. I think on the cheap opks both lines measure LH, which is different to the sticks for the digital monitors.

That's a nice collection of symptoms - I have my fingers crossed they will add up to something...

...and that my temp will shoot up tomorrow morning!

You're right about the temping. It only really works if you can do it at about the same time every morning and before you've done anything else. I wake up at 6ish to drive my DF to the station, so it's not a problem for me. At the weekends, 6 is early enough that I can go back to sleep if I want a lie in. Anyway, you're not missing much - it's just another thing to drive you insane!

I'll check in on you tomorrow

Mandy73 · 03/07/2008 20:01

'Second bar', not sure what that means Yarnie. I'm on the CB digital so never pay attention to the lines .

Have you read this BTW?

Oh, symptoms schrymptoms I say:
Sleepy, hungry, from happy to crazy angry in no-time and back, AF-like cramps & twinges + lots of white stringy CM (sorry). But I can't say it's anything out of the ordinary really. I actually don't think there's a chance in h*ll anyone has symptoms this early. I think it's just wishful thinking & after-construction if PG is confirmed later.
Hope you have a nice evening. xx

Yarnie · 03/07/2008 17:55

Good advice Mandy! I just peed on a stick and I did get a second bar, although not a positive result. I think usually I would not get a second bar at all at this time, so maybe I did ov later.

Who knows ?!

What symptoms have you got then?

LOL at your purchase well, I reckon it will be a good luck charm for you

Mandy73 · 03/07/2008 16:47

I'm OK thanks. Already flirting with obsessing over symptom spotting though - at 5dpo. And secretly bought a nice wintery dress "that would be good with a bump". Madness.

How odd Yarnie. Is it too late for you to wee on a OPK stick then?

This whole OV thing is a mystery to me.

Not sure I could do the temping - I'm a freelancer with v irregular schedule so forced to put in regular all-nighters, then have lie-ins (poor me ) and you have to temp same time, 1st thing in the morning, for ever, no?
No, I'm sticking with the sticks. Lucky we are made of money.

Not.

Yarnie · 03/07/2008 15:53

How's it looking for you today, Mandy?

I still didn't get a post-ov temp today. It's very odd. I usually ov on CD13 like clockwork and my temp rises straight away. I'm on CD15 now and my temp still hasn't got above the coverline of my last cycle. Weird. I guess I'll just have to sit it out and see. I wish I'd used my opks this month [eye roll emoticon].

Mandy73 · 02/07/2008 11:00

Yarnie festival sounds great, enjoy it!, Yup, carving out 'us' time is crucial. Good luck with it all.

Is anyone else with us for the latest dreaded 2ww? x

Yarnie · 02/07/2008 07:09

No symptoms from me Mandy, in fact my temp doesn't even look post-ov. I was meant to ov yesterday, but I guess I may have been late, so my temp hasn't had a chance to rise. All will be revealed in the next day or so, I suppose.

Well done for making the most of the lovely weather with wine and a bbq . DF and I are devoting this weekend to "us" time as we've been quite busy of late. We're off to the Wireless Festival in Hyde Park on Friday, so that should be a nice start to it all.

Hope everyone's happy and well this morning

I know what you're saying! Possibly some sunny holiday in the distant past when we had just met. Now it's 8 times in 11 days for us - just celebrated our stellar effort with wine & a BBQ. I'm pleased it was 5 times in the 7 days before getting OPK surge - that seems to be an important time, provided the swimmers are OK.

No symptoms at all really, you? Noticed today my (.)(.) seemed a bit full but that's normal. It's a b*tch PMT & early PG symptoms are so similar (allegedly) isn't it?

Congratulations on the commission! It's good you're a little bit scared, it'll keep you sharp. xx

Yarnie · 01/07/2008 16:47

Yaay - Mandy! Glad to have someone to wait with Any symptoms (psychosomatic or otherwise) yet?

This is the Summer of Luuurrrvvve for me also - 10 times in 10 days! Are we boasting about how much jiggy we're getting?! I don't think I've done that since I was at uni, if at all!

Emma I think pg is not really in question any more, but I bet you'll be glad to have the bloods back so the medical plonkers professionals are happy and you can get on your merry way!

I've just finished an interior design course and I got my first commission today. Exciting, but blardy scary!

Mandy73 · 01/07/2008 15:39

Emma, don't they say you can get a false negative but never a false positive? (at least at this stage in your cycle?) I can understand your DP not wanting to count the chickens but hey, I'm celebrating with you. Hoorayy!!! Keep us posted! xx

This evening it will be 8 times in 11 days if I'm lucky. It's a nice incentive isn't it? And that mini skirt I got to wear around the house was a master stroke.

emma2617 · 01/07/2008 15:33

Mandy 7 times in 10 days?! that is quite impressive!! I am so excited! was trying not to be, but have done another test just now and it is even darer than the one i did last night!! DP is really not biting though...keeps saying "lets wait and see what doctor says" he is so patient !!!

Mandy73 · 01/07/2008 15:10

EMMA! OMG OMG!! Congratulations! How are you feeling? xx

Yarnie, I want to endure the 2ww with you although we are not strictly even stevens: I'm CD 17 today, AF expected 12 July.

TMI Warning: Have BDed 7 times in 10 days and DH is still up for more, bless him; BD Fest-08; Summer of Love indeed! (possibly counter productive as not enough time for swimmers to re-group but we were kicking ourselves for not being more ambitious for a longer time last cycle)

emma2617 · 01/07/2008 12:22

Yarnie I have had bloods take...but...I did a CB Digital this morning...it said "Pregnant" so it looks like I'm just going to need the bloods to confirm!!!!

Yarnie · 01/07/2008 12:16

I had a big dip in temp today, so I'm pretty sure I am ovulating on schedule. AF expected on 16 July. Anyone else want to endure the 2ww with me?

Emma Hope your nausea has settled down. I saw on another thread that you've finally had bloods taken. Hopefully they'll confirm what we all know suspect
