Just out of curiosity, when and what are af signs for everyone?

I really didn't think I had any, but I think the boobs growing thing is one. I don't get consistently moody (I'm randomly moody all month lol) or have af cramps apart from a few when af actually arrives. also the sore boobs/nips thing, I could swear I never had this prior to ttc but had it 2 months running now.

Has anyone kept a diary? Or would this just encourage the total growing obsession.

mrsleroyjethrogibbs · 29/07/2008 21:30

oh sorry to hear that bigtree, if it helps I am going to be joining you tomorrow me thinks as I have some pinkish cm now.

nice to see you here mootie

AbstractMouse · 29/07/2008 21:08

Hi everyone, hope you are all well and not testing too often likeme.

Bigtree, loads of people don't get a bfp untill af is due don't give up hope. Tbh I am sick of looking at pg test and their tantalising evaporation lines.

Must stop testing early or get rich quick and buy a huge pile of clearblue digital (so want to use one of them but I'v never had good enough reason).

Sorry to hear it's taking so long anniemac, hope you didn't think I was implying I was superfertile btw (so not lol)

bigtree · 29/07/2008 20:58

Girls i've give in and done a test BFN ..cd 22.
I'm not buying anymore now till i'm at least 5 days overdue,so fed up of the sadness i feel when its a bfn and really can't afford it!I really am hoping i'm still in with a chance this month,its not over till she arrives ay!!
how is everyone else ??

mootie · 29/07/2008 20:49

Hi, Can I join? Due 6 August.
TTC no2, for three months now, dd conceived shockingly quickly, in first month, so three cycles already seems like an eternity. How spoilt is that?
Felt symptoms past two cycles, but nothing this month - although, didn't feel any symptoms with dd, except cramping on day AF was due.
Had oddly short AF last month, which led to LATE testing but BFN, of course. Not sure we dtd at the right time this month, as it was around time we went to see relatives and had to share room with dd, which was a bit of a passion killer.
No time limits, just SOON please.

Good morning everyone,

Busylady I've tried to look at your test but cutting and pasting the web address you gave doesn't seem to be working. Could you try posting the link again? (or is there another way to get to it on the site?)Or maybe it's just me.
Did you test again this morning? Fingers crossed for you

abstractmouse - (you were up very late!!) I agree, the week is crawling by! Symptom wise I have had a suprising lack of any cm at all (normall loads just before af (sorry if tmi this early!) and lots of back ache and cramps. But could go either way! Hmmmm - no, think my nipples stay pretty much the same! Hee hee.

No - not got a time limit on things. Just asap would be good! I can see why you don't want to be huge in the summer though. I can't imagine being big and pregnant in this heat now! Hard work. Agree that it will be VERY hard to stop TTC though. Hmmmmmmm. It's a tough one. If it were me I'd go for it anyway just in case it took those extra months but that's probably just silly!

How's everyone else this morning?

OP posts:
AbstractMouse · 29/07/2008 01:50

Does anyone else have a time limit for conception at the moment? I have given myself this month and next 2 months to concieve or I'm taking a break.

Concieveing in September would mean a baby due (approx) 4th June. I'm not willing to go any more into the summer than that. Will start trying again in june next year.

I had my last 2 pregnancies in 2003/6 when I was due in sept/october respectively. I spent the WHOLE of the summer fucking huge (I tend towards the hippopotamus when pg) and it has scarred me for life, also judging that these were the hottest summers ever/lately I am bound to be pg when the temp is 30 degrees for a month (I used to literally cry at weather forecasts).

Does anyone think this is wise? or should I just push on?

Think I will find it hard to stop ttc even though I can vividly remember the misery

AbstractMouse · 29/07/2008 00:03

I see a line busylady congrats must get some new batteries for the camera, my phone one refuses to take a clear picture of a pg test lol.

Sorry to hear that mrs leroy, but you never know

God the time is going very slowly, and I have decided against getting anymore ebay tests, the temptation is too great and they are a bit crap anyway.

Any more symptoms anyone?

I still have the cm, wasn't there last month, vivid dreams and random cramps.

Oh actually meant to ask, does anyone else's nipples seem to grow in the 2ww? They are huge atm (TMI I know) but never noticed this before ttc.

lou031205 · 28/07/2008 20:27

busylady, I think I can see the line you are talking about, but I would say it is far too faint to determine that it definitely is a line and not just evaporation. Try again tomorrow, and I'm sure that you would get a better result if it is positive.

mrsleroyjethrogibbs · 28/07/2008 20:06

busylady I cant see your profile to see the pic

thanks labingbong but I reckon its not good for me. I am miffed but hey you cant have everything

busylady · 28/07/2008 18:55

hiya

i've put it on can you see a line - it looks lots fainter than IRL IYKWIM

ladyhelen2 · 28/07/2008 18:52

Hi, Can I join you? Its nice to have some fellow 2WWers!

AM also due around the 3rd. I think! I had a mc 3 1/2 weeks ago. I "tricked" DH into BD last week - he wanted to wait to TTC until I had my first period, but I had EWCM Sunday eve and a pos OPK on Monday. I didn't tell him and whey hey. I am symptom spotting like mad.

I thnk I am going mad too as I have convinced myself that every twinge is good and when I went for some reflexology last week, I had a definate response that I felt in my uterus area. Now that surely is a sign that I am going mad!

I am hoping that the D&C I had makes my womb more receptive! SOmeone told me that it does coz it cleans you out apparantly.We're on holiday from Saturday, so at least I may be able to distract myself until the Monday, and drown my sorrows when AF arrives. As she inevitably will.....

LaLaBingBong · 28/07/2008 18:41

Wow busylady that's brilliant news! Was it with your FR test? Post it to your profile and we'll check it out. A faint line's still a line! What date was your period due (quick calculation to see if FR might work for me yet!)
Going out later but will look in the morning if not tonight.
Yey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we're a lucky thread already.

Hi Mrs Leroy. Don't give up just yet.

Welcome onboard Anniemac. Good luck to you too!

mrsleroyjethrogibbs · 28/07/2008 14:21

hello everyone. Hope you are all enjoying this lovely weather and not symptom spotting too much.
I am fairly certain I am out for the month as had some lower back pain and certainly not implantation bleeding this time(did with both children before I think), so I am not going to be dissapointed when af arrives anytime now

BB - feeling premenstrual can be a sign of being pregnant too though. I felt like my period was about to start any minute with DD1. It never did!

Have a great holiday bigtree. Your poor DH. Let's hope there are loads of BFP's when you get back.

Ebeson, busylady and abstract mouse - how are you all doing?

I am trying not to symtpom spot at the mo. Difficult as lots of lower back ache! So defintely pregnant then!

Hi LaLa..
Thanks for the boots tip..

Am off to Newquay for the week,really looking forward to it,only dh has done his ankle in so is hobbling on crutches which means i'll be doing all the driving(i live up north so got a bit of a journey)least all the BD'ing has been done for this month,else that would have been interesting!!

i'll keep everything crossed for you and hopefully when i get back there'l be a few BFP's!!xx

Bluebutterfly · 27/07/2008 21:51

Hi LaLa - belated response to your question (sorry). Yes we are trying for number 2 (ds is 3.5 and was also conceived without much planning!) Well fingers crossed for us both, (but I have been starting to feel a bit pre-menstrual, so I am not too optimistic for me atm although no sign of AF yet!). Hope that this is your (and all the other hopefuls) month, even if it isn't mine!

LaLaBingBong · 27/07/2008 17:21

Hi bigtree. It's very early to test so don't lose hope yet. Where are you going on hols?That'll be a good distarction for you. That's what I need - a holiday! This week is going to be the slowest ever!

Ok - this is naughty - but just to let you all know first response tests are on 2 for 1 at Boots. I don't know HOW I ended up in that section of the shop. Weird eh!

bigtree · 27/07/2008 17:10

Hi everyone..Can i join in?? period is due around Monday 3rd Aug..am sooooo impatient done a test today(i know,i know)and no surprises it was negative..really hoping it's because i tested too early,but not holding out much hope..

This is my first month on clomid 100mg so am praying it works being ttc for 14 months with my dh..been having odd pains in my stomach and bad headaches everyday but am sure they're symptoms of the clomid.

bb's not really sore keep poking at them so they get sore..madness!!

Am on hols all of next week so at least it'll keep my mind off things a bit if no af then will try and hold out and test on sat 9th aug when i'm back..see you then..

Good luck to everyone..xxx

LaLaBingBong · 27/07/2008 11:17

Hi busylady and ebeson. Glad you are joining us for the wait. It's going quicker already!
busylady - FR say you ca test very early now don't they? If you can leave it as long as possible though, do. I think it's nicer to think you might be for longer rather than get a negative too early and get all miserable when maybe there's still a chance. Sore boobs sound hopeful ebeson!

Abstract Mouse - this is our 3rd month of TTC too. I hope it's the one! I have realised my cycle is longer than before when DD was conceived (around 36 days) and so this is the first month where I think we have BD'd more around where ovulation should be (although am still BF so don't know if this is still affecting fertility??)

I have eaten most things on beherenow's list this month too! Oops.

OP posts:
ebeson · 27/07/2008 08:32

Hi LaLa, ive just posted on your other one. Can i join, im due around 4th, but really think we BD too late, my boobs also feel sore as they normally do this sort of time before my af, so i have to say i dont feel very hopeful this month. But you never know for sure until witch shows i guess!

busylady · 27/07/2008 07:48

hey there,

i'm due to test around next weekend too. desperate to know if we've been successful but not sure!

have been drinking (paying the price this morning with DS1) and trying not to put my life on hold too much.

What's the earliest you can test? i really don't want to waste as much money as i did last month but have one FR early left upstairs....

arrggghh the pressure is on me already!
