Hi everyone
I am TTC after 2 miscarriages and queue one long drawn out week of smyptom spotting. I keep trying to bang my boobs off things to see if they hurt!! Think I have tingly nipples but it comes and goes so I don't know what to think. Also I have been taking aspirin to help with the miscarriages and I am worried it will stop a bean from sticking!! you would think I would be a pro by now at this! Anyone else want to join me so we can try and keep each other sane and away from the First Response sticks? xx

Wee Tiger - shingles that is awful! I hope you are starting to feel better? You are right, it takes up so much thought time, I think I might be slightly obsessed but I will never admit it I have very tingley nipples which I think is a good sign and this morning I got up and my breasts feel very heavey and sore so I am hoping for the best and for third time lucky!!

Sonsmum - I am really hoping it all goes ok for you. 35 Isn't old, you are still a spring chicked

greenbeanie - The first time I was pregnant I got that low ache. is it like a feeling of fullness? If so - good sign!!

totasky - Stay strong and step away from the pee sticks!!! Sperm can live in you for up to four days so try not to worry too much about not trying every day. I have my firngers crossed for you.

Not long now till we find out!!

good grief....shingles.....I hope you do not have it too badly.....I never had chicken pox as a child so shingles is a worry of mine. Hope you are better soon!

Can I join in. I am ttc #3. We have been half-heartedly trying for about a year but are now seriously going for it!!

AF is due on the 25th - didn't get a positive ov test this month but am pretty sure that I ov'd as I was charting temp etc. Also having acupuncture for irregular periods.

The only thing I have noticed so far is a low abdominal ache for the last 2 days, far too soon to be af, so don't know what it could be.

Good luck everyone.

I too am symptom spotting....AF due on 26th or 27th june...i am charting and using OPKs so know we bd'd close to ovulation. This is my 1st month of TTC #2. With #1, AFs were all over the place so had no idea when to BD and think getting preggers was just down to luck not knowledge last time. Also with #1 i didn't know much about the 2ww as was never really sure when i Ov'd, and took a preg test quite late on (but what a great feeling it was to get a positive result). After stopped BF #1, AFs returned regular, and now i have so much more knowledge of fertility/TTC.....so started charting this month as is first month of trying for #2.....I didn't have the dreaded 2ww for #1 but i am for sure feeling it for TTC for #2.....the days go by so slow, i keep looking at my temps willing them to stay high, analysing every twinge, willing boobs to get bigger and tummy to feel a little bloated.....but i know i must wait to test....if we have success this month then i will know eventually, but if i test too soon, i face disappointment.
I am an optomist so am currently convinced I am implanting anyday!....plus i am impatient so the thought so starting again next month is depressing....plus i am 35 and all the headlines on fertility lately are depressing. Also it took us 6mnths to conceive #1 so can't believe i would get lucky on my 1st attempt this time.
Good luck to you and I'll keep you posted end of the month, trying not to obsess and be on here every day!
