The WIMBEWAIF and WIMBEWAINF 2WW club, new and existing members welcome.

MOB I just had to post and congratulate you on your top class embryos ! Am so excited for you, when do you test ? And how sweet of your DH making sure you are eating well - my DP sometimes tells me off if he thinks and not eating enough (he reckons 'enough' is at least twice as much as any person could ever need !), thankfully he doesn't bat an eye when am stuffing haribo/chocolate/Ben and jerry's in my cakehole !

Catini good news that you've ov'd and there is no harm in tempting a bit of sod's law - as soon as the appt is made the beany will burrow I'm sure fingers crossed for you.

PnM big hugs to you missus, sounds like you are having a rough time of it - it is so lovely of your DH to try and protect you like that though. Wishing you loads of luck with fertility consultant on Thursday.

Bucky lovely to see you are still around missus - how are things in Bucky-land ?

Oh and Ei is truly pyschic - she predicted my BFP !

Happy I so hope your early egg is a lucky one xx

Yes am on ML now - last day was yesterday = wooohoooo ! Just have to pack my bag and get nesting now ! Get ready to become cyber-aunties again soon ladies

Afternoon Ladies,

I'm quite excited by your predictions Ei, the relaxed attitude is obviously suiting you! It would be so lovely if there were 3 bfps this month, although I fear I would be left here somewhat alone

Sounds like your daughter is a little darling MrsH, you must miss her when you're away. Good to have you back! Thank you also for your advice for my sister, I did pass it on to her. She seems ok at the moment and is putting it down as 'one of those things'.

Yay [again!] for such a proactive Dh Caitni!! I feel my Dh needs another 'prod' as since his test results he's rather relaxed about it all, think the pressure is off so to speak.

Fab to see you Bucky, I miss you. Hope your trip away was good? And the doggies are both behaving themselves? Big higs to you next time you look in, xx

Well done on the weightloss R4N2, I'm with MrsH with the lack of will power. I can always find an excuse for eating naughty food!

Glad to hear all is going ok thus far MOB, am living the 2ww with you. Have everything crossed for you.

The funeral went ok on thurs. Well, as ok as funerals can. Managed the reading without bawling, although was a mess afterwards!

Have just found out this morning that my work colleague (who I work with daily on a one to one basis) is pregnant. She was on the pill. She's 12wks gone already without even knowing. How does that happen? The serendipity of it is that I/we have our 1st appt with a fertility consultant on thursday. Thank f**k I'm leaving to work in head office in the new year.

Coupled with this, Dh's friends have just announced their 1st pregnancy. Courtesy of a round-robin email that explained they wouldn't be attending another friends wedding (abroad) as wife would be too pregnant. We are not going to said wedding because we are too poor.

Did I mention that I can't moan to Dh as I read this email without him knowing? I know. I know, its my own fault. But now dh is keeping it a secret from me (to spare my feelings?). Its a tangled web, eh?

God I'm a moaning cow but sometimes things just kick me whilst I'm down.

And breath....

Thank you for allowing me to vent!

Oooooh Ei what an exciting dream! I don't think any of those BFPs could be mine though, because I have sworn off First Response and there is no Asda near here, so if the CBD is yours they must belong to other people! A bumper crop of BFPs would be flipping fantastic, though, so bring them on! Although having said that I don't really need to test because I temp, so maybe my BFP was not represented by the wee sticks!!

Caitni Greek food and early bed sounds lovely to me. I wonder if I could move to Brighton...

RFN2 well done losing all that weight. I don't know how people diet - I have zero willpower and last about a week whenever I try to eat healthily. I have also been eating for at least 6 when I was away.

Have you eaten any more cakes, MOB?

I'm so pleased to be back. I bought DD a present and she thinks her present is "very much" and said "it's very kind of you". She's so sweet.

I can't believe it is nearly christmas again. I remember last year thinking we were sure to get a BFP (at last) after our christmas sexfest, and when it didn't happen I was pretty upset. It's a bit to think that we are almost a year on, but with any luck my proper BFP will happen soon, as will the rest of yours.

MOB Your symptoms are sounding good, I really hope those beans (yes both of them lol) are burrowing in nice and snug ready for a 9 month stay x

Caitni What a fab DH you have Hope that his hard work pays off

Mrshappy with the law of pregnativity you are bound to be pg this month after your tipples

EI Wouldnt it be spooky if your dream comes true and there are 3 bfps here this month! (I really hope one of them is yours x)

Hi to PnM Bucky and anyone else I have missed x

Well its cd13 and the ewcm started yesterday so I am hoping to ov anyday now, Havent been doing sperm meets egg properly due to being too tired but we did bd last night and will hopefully manage it the couple of days aswell and catch that egg.
It would be so nice to see some bfps before christmas

My diet is also going well and I am looking forward to monday and seeing what I have lost, I am going away for the weekend on the 21st to see PIL and will be the slimmest they have ever seen me

hi ladies
excellent that we will have a bumper pack of HPTs being brandished i agree we are in good company caitni mob mrshappy i couldnt think of a better bunch of ladies to spend the next anxious 9 months with if we all get our BFPs i had a dream about HPTs last night i had 3 in my hands only 1 was mine and the others were different brands!! one was a cbd one was asda own and one was a first response the cbd was mine i only have the free one i got from mn so i dunno but at least 2 of us will get preg this month and me if any luck but maybe not i have a feeling it will be next month for me relaxing helps the psycho psychic flow i think)
good luck girls
a big hello to everyone and i hope everyone is having a good friday
xx ei xx

oooh MOB progesterone or not, those sound like pretty excellent symptoms to me! I so hope it's because the little beans are burrowing in tight xxx

And welcome back MrsH - glad you managed to enjoy a tipple or two, as I doubt I could get through a work trip without a bit of alcohol help

Ei, MOB, MrsHappy I can't think of better company for a pee-on-a-stick-athon! A bumper crop of BFPs just in time for Christmas would be just perfect! Now roll on the tww...

Well I just had a lovely Greek meal in the restaurant right next to our flat (it's so windy and rainy that we were glad not to walk too far!) so off to bed myself soon too.

Night all!
Caitni xx

Hello ladies I'm back from my trip
Caitni it is lovely that your DH is stepping up and taking things seriously.

MOB the symtoms sound fab. I know it might be the progesterone but it also might be because of a bean... or two! Do you have to wait 14 days from your transfer or can you test earlier because they were 2 days along by the time they went in?

Ei I'm glad you are well and that you caught your egg. I am 3dpo so will be testing around the same time too. How brilliant would it be if we all ended up on the sale ante-natal thread?

Lovely to see you JB and I hope the cub is well.

Hello Picknmix, Bucky, RFN2 and JG (if you ever pop in. Bucky does Judith ever look in these days? Tell her to get in touch!)
News from here? Well, I drank far too much on my trip so if I am with child it may well be pickled. After 3 days of travelling, windowless meeting rooms and hotels I am knackered so off to bed!

Wonderful to see you JB big virtual hugs to that jollycub - not long to go now!

Caitni & EI glad i will have a couple of testing buddies to keep me company! Fingers crossed that we will have a bumper crop of BFP's on the thread!

Caitni I had a tear in my eye reading about your DH. He clearly wants it all as much as you do, which is lovely.

I have loads of "symptoms" (spotty chin, incredibly sore boobs, cramping) but i know they are all caused by the progesterone i'm taking. Doesn't make the wait any easier though!

Hope everyone is ok and that you all have lovely weekends.

Morning ladies

JollyBear lovely to see you! Hope everything's well with you and Jollycub.

MOB how are you doing? Hope the cold is improving - I'm a big fan of olbas oil but also hot honey & lemon (I hate the taste of lemsip!). I'm due AF just after your test date so looks like myself and Ei will hopefully be testing around then too Fingers crossed for BFPs all round

Ei hope things are good with you? I think I'm due AF around the same time as you so hoping we both get our BFPs this month

PnM hope things are OK with you xx

MrsH hope the work trip hasn't been too busy/stressful. Glad you got the egg before you left!

And hello to everyone else Bucky GG Mibbes RFN2

So I ovulated yesterday - nice temp rise this morning so feeling more confident about what to expect for cycle length this month. I need to schedule my blood tests with the GP so of course am thinking "wouldn't it be great to make the appointments and then have to cancel them because I get pregnant...". Keeping hopeful anyway .

I also found out my DH was sneaking looks at my CB monitor this month, which explains why he pounced on me on Wed and Thurs (and here's me thinking it was cos I'm irresistible ). I must admit I was a little suspicious (I'm usually the pouncer these days ) so I asked him directly and he admitted it. He said going for the SA next week has really brought home to him how much he wants a BFP too, how sad/annoying it is that it hasn't happened yet and how he thinks he needs to do more to help. I wasn't complaining, as it meant that last night he left the pub early, after staying on the mineral water, and was home nice and early so plenty of time for bd-ing .

hi ladies
nice to see so many of us here
bucky lovely to 'see' you i hope you have had a great time whilst you have been away
mob only 12 days to go until you get to testing time i am a fiend for counting down the days and it looks as if i will be testing around tha time too so fingers crossed
JB nice to 'see' you how is jollycub??
hello to everyone else
xx ei xx

Hello everyone,

I've been away and have just caught up with the news, MOB I'm so excited for you. It must have been so emotional to see the embryos on screen, golly I feel emotional just thinking about it. Glad things are going well. I do hope you had your feet up with a cup of tea while eating the almond slice . I'm so eggcited for you.

PnM Sorry to hear about your sister. What a difficult situation for you. I can't believe the GP hadn't heard of a CP. Honestly! I hope the funeral goes as well as these things can. It is really touching your friend has asked you to do a reading.

Sorry for not saying an individual hello to everyone but I've got to rush off, I'll be a much better cyber friend later this week, promise.

Whoops - forgot to say - MrsH have a good trip, i hope it is not too boring or exhausting.

BUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!! How wonderful to see you. I hope you realise you have been missed, but it's good to know you have been lurking. It is your trip soon, isn't it? (Or have you been already??) Let us know what exciting things you have been up to!

Caitni A potential longer cycle sounds good. I hope you and DH are celebrating Obama's win! I have to say we were excited to hear about it this morning.

MrsH Sounds like there has been plenty of action. Hope DH is feeling better now? EWCM could be as a result of your cold, particularly if you are taking anything with a decongestant in it? I have a rotten cold at the moment, but the clinic told me i couldn't take anything for it! Therefore everywhere i go i leave a lingering scent of olbas oil - as that's all i can do to try a clear things!

PnM How are things with you (and your sister?) Are you due blood tests, or results? I can't remember where you are with things.

How are all our pregnant ladies? (Mibbes, you must be about to stop work??)

I'm afraid to say that the embryos insisted on an almond slice earlier - i'm going to be enormous even if i'm not pregnant

Hi MrsH action the night before the ov pains is plenty, as the EWCM means the little swimmers will have been nice and ready for the egg(s) . I reckon a cold can through things off CM wise, though my own CM seems to have changed this month and last (just when I thought I knew the patterns backwards!) so feeling a lot less assured about CM than I was

Hi all

Unfortunately my DH wasn't feeling so great last night so there was action the night before the ov pains but not the same day as. Hopefully it's enough (and that tube gets with the programme).

My temp has gone up a bit but I was 40 mins early taking it today so hopefully tomorrow it will be higher and will confirm ovulation as yesterday... And in the meantime I seem to have EWCM. Am confused. Do you think having a cold can mean more EWCM???

Hope you are all well. Any more patisserie-related cravings, MOB?

Morning all

MrsH glad to hear of ov pains on both sides - a very good sign for this month . It's great that your ov was perfectly timed with your work trip . Hope you have a good trip.

MOB hope you're doing well today

Hi to Ei Bucky JG PnM and RFN2 - hope everyone's well (and happy with the Obama win!).

Bucky hello my dear. Am v pleased you're still with us. Have you been having any more late night trolley racing eggsploits?

MOB yours is the most eggciting 2WW ever since for once we are sure that sperm and egg have met. I have heard that cream cakes aid implantation so go for your life!

Caitni I hope your DH is back on full form soon. Get him on the echinacea and don't let him make any excuses for not performing his husbandly duties!!

I am about to join MOB on the 2WW since I have ov cramps - bizarrely they are on both sides so maybe I am producing 2 eggs which would be good. Last night I gave the Preseed an outing but did not tell my DH what I had done. The poor man was very confused by it all which led to much hilarity. So ttc is not all doom and gloom then!

Am off on my trip tomorrow afternoon so I may not be around until the weekend - lots of meetings etc leave little time for MN! But will check in on Saturday hopefully.

Bucky hello! [caitni waves furiously]. So good to hear from you though at the MN trickery that means we never saw your weekend post. Eggsasperating!

MOB it's lovely to hear that your DH's taking care of you . And also so glad the embryos are getting all the cream scone goodness they need . While the prog pessaries can't be fun, at least it means that your doing everything you can to help those beans burrow in nice and snug .

PnM I love the word wowsers! It's definitely under-used, it may perhaps become my new WIMBAIF word . Hope you're doing OK lady xx

MrsH Hope you're enjoying the bonkathon (great word MOB ). Are you off tomorrow night, or are you leaving Thurs morning?

Not much going on with me. I'm on CD 10 and still only a high reading on my monitor so am now thinking I'll ov later than my usual CD 11 - still low temps and lots of EWCM. Not too bothered, as would quite like a longer cycle after last month's freaky 21 day cycle . I've also got a DH who's up to his eyeballs in man cold so not too much bd-ing going on. Still, he can cough all he wants but he's getting pounced on tonight (you know you're a ttc desperado when lemsip is an aphrodisiac ).

Am also totally obsessed with the US elections as DH is American so I really really really really want Obama to win and get rid of the awful Republican administration that's done so much harm to the States (and the planet!) over the last 8 years (did I tell you I really want Obama to win? ).

Hope all's well with everyone
xx

Thanks for all your good wishes ladies I'm glad you're all here to help me through the 2ww. I am already mulling over symptoms, such as sore boobs, but of course that is all the progesterone i am taking (have i told you about the lovely pessaries???)DH is watching over what i eat and what i do - he made me have breakfast this morning (i never normally bother with it) all to make sure the embryos are ok! Funnily enough, i sensed the embryos needed a cream scone about an hour ago... )

MrsH so pleased about your +ve opk - how's the bonkathon going?? Really is perfect timing for you.

How is everyone else today?

Loving the use of "wowsers" BTW. Not a word I've heard for a while.

Wowsers MOB!! A grade 1 and an almost grade 1 is fab! We most certainly will be with you for this 2ww, am sooo excited for you and your family!

Hope your making the most of your smiley face opk MrsH Great news its early before you go away!

Have a lovely day everyone else xx

MOB wow, grade 1 and practically grade 1 - that's such good news - I'm so glad that it all went well . It must be utterly overwhelming! And we'll be here for you for the whole TWW (and this is officially the most exciting TWW ever ). I'll be keeping my fingers firmly crossed for you xx

MrsH yay for the OPK! If ever there was a month when an early ov was wanted/needed . I hope you catch that egg good and proper

Hi to PnM RFN2 Ei and everyone else.
xx
