The Festive 2WW, anyone want to join me?

CONGRATULATIONS olivo! That's fantastic!
Now I really want to test

Welcome Ispy - great name!

2many - fingers crossed.

Some of us on another thread (grapefruit drinkers) are planning on testing Xmas Eve, anyone fancy joining us .

My symptoms have all disappeated today - all in the mind ?

I DID IT!!
i've just got a BFP

Glad bleeding has stopped - still got fingers crossed!

So nice to know you care! Well, woke up feeling dizzy and sick, bleeding has stopped. Tested again just now and still bfp. Dont know what to think really. Regardless of the outcome I hope you lot come and join me on the bfp list soon!

hi everyone
I spy - I left oin 2000, so our paths may have crossed!
Very tempted to test now...

anyone herd from villagemum?

hello everyone.
VJ - good luck for testing, let us know when you can.
2many - how are things today?
Ispy - welcome, hope all is well for you.
girlwithacurl - i'm like you. am going to test again tomorrow if no sign of AF. thought about it this morning but had a crap night's sleep thanks to DD and another cold . temp is still high so i'm not throwing the towel in just yet!

you are so right, I can pretend all I like that I will wait till after christmas day, but first I will decide to buy a test 'in case I can't get to a shop' and then, at some point my resolve will weaken in the hope I get good news !!

stealth - about 8yrs ago now, only been back once or twice, but it is such a beautiful place, (well, with the odd blot on the landscape like the student union...), not sure I miss the nightlife though!

Ok, please don't all shout at me, but I tested this morning. BFN obviously, and I know it was too early but I couldn't help it. Christmas party tonight and feeling generaly PMT'ish made me want to know one way or the other, but I know I shouldn't have [slap wrist emoticon]

Hello Ispy well, as you can see I am not the best person to go by, but I am now going to try to wait until xmas eve...

I think if you are due AF over Xmas no matter what you tell yourself I bet we all test, its the thought of having the extra special pressie that will spur us on to test early when we know we shouldn't & should wait for AF. If you are late over Xmas then you won't be able to help yourself & if AF arrives you will be disappointed away so I say test away

Hi ISpy - when were you there?
Not sure about the testing, I am so tempted to test now although it's way to early. Will probably plan to test after Christmas but then give in and test on Christmas Eve
Good luck!

oooh and just read the rest of the thread - a big hello from me to all the Durham/ ex-Durham peeps , was at uni there and such a lovely city (uni seems a long time ago now though!)

hello please can I join - cycle still settling down after coming off pill but I think AF due christmas eve !! been ttc no1 for just a couple of months, so don't think i'm going to get the christmas pressie I've been hoping for but who knows (pleeeese santa !)....

dilemma is do I try and test over christmas, ... or wait until after so I don't spend christmas feeling a bit disappointed? what are other people expecting AF around the same time doing?

SOrry about -ve olivo - hope a retest tells a different story
Keeping fingers crossed 2many xx

2many, i really hope it works out for you. i too had bleeding early on with dd.

sunny - my dd is late august birthday !!! good luck ot you for AF staying away.
smiley - step away from the tests (if only i could follow my own advice!)

tinsel good luck!
and to everyone, lots of sticky baby dust....

Hope that it hangs on in there 2many, eveything crossed.

Trying to stay calm now as I've been having general queasiness and that 'hung over' feeling at breakfast and early evening, which was exactly the same pattern with ds, but not with the mcs. Ds started as twins which is why I felt so pants so early. Also, if I'm on a 28 day this month rather than a 30 (it varies) then symptoms now with AF due on Sunday wouldn't be so weird.

[trying not get my hopes up emoticon]

Oh 2manychips I was so happy for you and poised to type "congrats" and then I read your last post. I don't know much about it, but I've heard other women bleed and still be PG. Not to get your hopes up, but one friend bled throughout her PG and has a healthy 2 year old now. Thinking of you.

Sorry too, Olivo, for your BFN. I also got one yesterday morning. I wasn't surprised, as I had no symptoms and also pretty bad flu and a temp of 103 during my fertile period, plus we only BD'd four times. I'm consoling myself that 1) an August baby would have been the youngest in its class (not that I'd have cared, obviously - just clutching at straws!) and 2) I can have a drink at Christmas. No other reasons to be glad for a BFN, and so I'll just hope for the best next month, I guess. This was only my second month of trying, but I can imagine the BFNs just get harder and harder to take as time goes on. I just hope AF comes soon, as the worst thing of all seems to be when you're stuck in limbo-land with no BFP and no AF. Anyway, baby dust to the rest of you xx

my excitement was v short lived, after a 2nd bfp after last post I started getting pains and bleeding this afternoon. Am a bit confused and down now. Hope you other lovely ladies have better luck. x

right, fed up of no symptoms, so am going to use anything I have, however tenuouse!

I am going cross eyed... definite PG symptom and NOT because I have been sat staring at my screen for too long

my nose is itching... again, i feel this is one of those weird localised things, like getting acupucture in your shin for a shoulder ache.

Heart flutter... this is because my body is excited about what my head knows not as yet, and not because I have been eating tonnes of chocolate.

thats it for now, but I think its pretty conclusive!

Oh nearly forgot to say yeah 2manychips fantastic news lets hope you are the 1st of many on this festive wait
