Twenties TTC - Join Me Pleeeease!

Hi girls

Turns out I couldnt wait after all. I tested a wee while ago even though i KNOW it is prob still too early, i couldnt help it, its like some sad form of OCD

Anyway youve prob guessed by now it was -ve, and i have started getting more crampy pains so maybe af is going to show early grrrrrr

Well 6 more days to go til the scheduled arrival so i will just have to wait hehe easy for me to say, but not so easy to achieve.

bubble- yes. After my miscarriage, my cycles started at 24 days then got longer progressively as the months went on (that's one of the reasons I'm not convinced by my period's no-show this month- it could just be this trend continuing). Hope that helps.

seany- I'm throwing down the gauntlet- can you last until Saturday?

Knicker-watch continues ever more obsessively. No wipe of doom since last post. CM is creamy today (sorry for the TMI!).

Aww joy i dont think i can wait til saturday im dying with the anticipation of it all .
good luck for when u do test tho.

Seany. maybe you should test sat too. then you and joy can hold hands... altho i dont think i could of waited til then.

i dont really mind that af has shown up. just worried coz cycle was so short. that really unusual for me. before dc i was always a 30 day girl. has anyone has a short cycle after a mc??

Me again!
Forgot to mention three extra points in this detective tale:

• I'm still getting small amounts of EWCM-like stuff. Did anyone get this during early pregnancy?
• I'm getting odd twinges down below which could be my period on its way. Or am I imagining it?
• I was on antibiotics for a bad UTI earlier this month- could this have delayed ov and therefore my period?

Hello,

Gah, bubble, sorry it's not your month this month. You are right, I think the main reason I don't want to test is because if there is something in there, I want to give it a chance to stick before I get all excited. Getting a BFP at this early stage doesn't necessarily mean that would still be the case in a couple of weeks time- for example I could have a chemical pregnancy.I'm a very cautious person, even more so since my mc last year.

So I am definitely going to continue waiting, possibly until Saturday morning (CD41). I know, I know... it's AGES! And the HPTs are calling to me from the drawer. But if I am pregnant I want time alone with my partner to really relish the result, rather than dashing off to work.

So Seany, you'll be testing before me.... unless you can wait until Saturday!

In the mean time, I'm still not having any unusual symptoms other than the funny taste. Then again, when I was pg last year before my mc, I didn't have any either.

Oh the tension!

How is everyone else? Feel as though I am hogging the thread with my amateur dramatics! How are you all?

Ahh I'm sorry to hear that bubble. Sending you lots of baby dust for a december baby xx

Joy how are you holding out? I don't think i can wait much longer though i know it is prob too early still.

Morning girls!! AF got me... joy im hoping if she is distracted at mine she will miss you out for the next 9 months

good luck seany for when u test

Hi Bubble, it is possible for me to test +ve on thurs if i am pg so i will join u on thur morning testing wow my dh would have loved it if id had ur last mentioned symptom hehe

Joy you deserve an award if you can wait til then!

Joy ive been waiting all weekend for your news im so pleased that AF hasnt shown up. im keeping everything crossed that you get a bfp i dont know how you can contain yourself.. id wanna know and then scream it from the roof tops... but then im slapped with the horrible realisation that it mite not stick and i will have to tell everyone again

ive had cramps this weekend and my boobs are agony. i think AF is going to make an appearance in the next few days for me. altho suzi did point out on the other thread that it could be implantation??? who knows.. i too am enjoying the ignorance.

Im going to test thursday morning.. (my sil is too)can you wait that long joy? seany is that still to early for you??

the only pregnancy symptoms i can remember are really bad mood swings and agression and then from about 8wks til i gave birth a heightened sense of smell. greasy food made me sick and i was reall horny the whole pregnancy.

hehe i forget what blissful ignorance is since i started this ttc malarky I know what you mean about the perfect moment, i prefer to wait til im alone in the house too. Last time i was pg i couldnt wait and tested while i was on a training course with work and had to sit through the rest of the class when i got my BFP..was torture!

Let me know when you do decide to test and i think i mite just join you

Im trying desperately to remember what symtoms i had last time but the only thing i can remember is tiredness

Hello seany- welcome.

I don't have the patience of a saint- just prefer to live in blissful ignorance for a bit longer. Also I have this weird thing of wanting to find the "perfect moment" to test- don't want to get a BFP just as housemate (family member) walks through door, or before work etc. And I'm just convinced that I'll get a BFN and can't bear to find out.

Hang on in there- even if you are pg you might not get a BFP yet. Maybe we should test on the same day (and you bubble) in a few days time. IF my period hasn't arrived that is... If it has I'll just be cheering you girls on and gearing up for the next round.

Hi Joy,its so quiet in here!! Where did everyone go??
How can you bear to wait that long,you must have the patience of a saint!
my af isnt due til 22nd but i have been feeling really tired the last few days+have a funny taste in my mouth too.

Im NOT going to test this early tho, i am sooo sick of wasting £ on -ve pg tests not to mention the disappointment so i willtry to take a leaf out of your book and be patient!!!!

Hi ladies-
I haven't tested- sorry to disappoint! But I'm surprised and more than a little nervous to report that I'm now on CD35(31 days is longest cycle to date). I keep expecting the "Wipe of Doom" but it hasn't happened...yet. Have been getting EWCM on and off. I just can't bear to test- my period isn't that late and there could be any number of reasons why it is other than pregnancy. I was just so sure we'd missed our dates this month...

I do have a funny taste in my mouth which I am definitely not imagining: the only way I can describe it is that it's similar to when I used to smoke and I'd get a physical urge to have a cigarette which I could almost taste along the sides of my tongue- sort of a raspy taste. I'm loathe to say metallic because then I'd be in the realms of symptom spotting. But it sort of IS metallic.

Other than that, no symptoms whatsoever which is what makes me at thought that I'm pg. Just praying and waiting. I want to wait until my period is at least a week late before I test. Will definitely keep you posted.

hey bubble........ it is a bit quiet eh? everyone must be out tryin to forget about the whole ttc stress!!!

where are you all?? its quiet in here.. i hope you are all having a good wkend

(i popped back to see if joy had posted)

Hi and welcome seany good luck for this cycle..

Joy ??? any news...

Hi all, can I join??

Im 23 and ttc#2. I'm on cycle 10 and starting to go absolutely insane!! This is actually the first month I haven't really thought about it as ive had alot of other things going on, but just decided to have a peek on here to see if anyone else has had any luck???

Joy have you tested yet? We need to hear your results...........

joy u also get ewcm type stuff when pg too! god u have to put me out of my misery.... TEST TEST TEST

Ray could u sneak 1 more bd in tonight then u too are in the dreaded 2ww mind u!! 10 times.. im sore thinking about it

Rtuff i think that there is lh in your blood all the time and its only positive if its darker than the control line! im not sure.. hth x

Hey guys,

OPK showed +ive yesterday and temp shot up this morn so have either Ov or am about to so am alittle behind some of you. Have been bding like made though i think i counted like 10 times this month thats almost every other day so heres hoping.

Bubble the 1ww must be torture for you i hate that bit. I realy hope this is your month.

Trikken you say you are 12 days late but this has happened to you a few times before? Could it be that your cycles are actually longer ? I am not being condesending or anything but if you are late and not PG then that means you Ovulated later and either something caused this ie Stress, holiday moving house? or you have longer cycles.
Mine are also funny sometimes and i have noticed a pattern, example is that for the last 3 months i have Ovulated on CD14 and af arrived on CD31 however this month i am only just ovulating and its cd17 so wont have AF until CD34, this doesnt actualy mean i am late though it just means i am having a longer cycle and this normally happens every 3-4 months not sure what causes it it is just my body i suppose.
If you have been ttc since sept then perhaps you should start temping and using OPKs then at least you will know when to expect AF as Af will arrive between 10-16 days after Ovulation.
I hope this helps you and if AF doesnt arrive do a test.

JOY HAVE YOU TESTED?????? WHERE ARE YOU????

okay so i've just done an opk (but one of the cheapie ones) i haven't had a line all month, then i had a faint line today... on day 23/30... what do i make of this?

Hi all!

Trikken I am so with you- don't want to test until I'm really late, to avoid disappointment. Sorry bubble- will keep you in suspense for a bit longer!

I'm now on CD32, my longest cycle yet- tick tock tick tock. I too keep thinking I feel period pains. Trying not to get my hopes up I suppose.

Have had EWCM at odd times this month- once around a week after ov (I think), and then some today which seemed a bit mad. Have read though that some women get it just before their period. Boo to that.

I still reckon I'll come on tonight. Can't dare to hope.

Hey all!

Ant hope you had a lovely holiday.

Joy any news???? im hoping its a BFP..... pleaseeeeeeee tell me im dying with the suspense of it all

Hi and welcome trikken id do a test if i were you. good luck

Thanks for the advice. Its much appreciated, I will wait til sat, if nothing happens before then I'll do a test. I just dont want to upset myself as I've had this quite a few times and im beginning to get disheartened.

oh trikken do a test, but if your worried bout dh gettin upset.... do it when hes not there... 12 days late is long, hope things work out for you
