Two week wait madness!

Hey scarlett, lol about your "secret vice" under the bed.
I've POAS Sat, yesterday and this morn and got BFNs Oh well, AF isn't really due 'til Th or Fri but I get so impatient!

Hello to all you newbies! :-)

Thanks LeeWT for sharing your valuable experience! Fingers crossed for you, I hope all goes well this time.

I cracked and tested today (AF is due sometime between tomorrow and Friday) - sadly, all I got was a BFN. And that was ClearBlue, so not much scope for error. But then, my temp-chart is looking better and better, so I have resolved to not give up hope until AF arrives.

I hope everyone else will have better news!

hi girls hope its ok to post here, i got bfp last week but before that had the most obsessive 2ww ever!!

here's what i learned:
-ebay cheapy dip tests are very accurate
-ebay cheapy midstream tests are crap and even when i was getting strong bfp on clearblue etc they were still very faint..
-first response and clearblue early indicators are good (albeit faint early on) but even at that, i was getting BFN 3-4 days before AF as i implanted quite late (got bad cramps but af never showed up) so you can only lose hope once your af due date has been and gone!
-boots tests are one of the least sensitive (50 miu as opposed to 25miu)

hope that helps a little - i know i was haunting mn and couldnt sleep for thinking about it. am still lurking on conception boards as recently had mmc and am bit skeptical..

wishing the best for you all..

I'm joining in too please - due on in the next day or so, going to test in the morning if no AF I think.. although maybe not... feel normal, so convinced that I'm not pg, but a little voice in my head keeps saying but WHAT IF...?

Can i hop on??
ttc number2 on day 22 today, not really spotted any symptoms?
usually approx 28day cycle, but last month only 26, then month previous had BFP from day 25 to 32 (kept testing!!) but effin AF arrived late day 32!! MARE!!
Waiting to hear every1's news......

hi all do you mind if i hop on? am due in next couple of days and feel well fine physically. mentally however am dying to know if i am! Though have not got hopes up too many cycles of convincing myself i am.

anybody got any good news?

am also quite jealous a girl i went to college with announced her new arrival today!

sorry guys do not know how why that posted twice

Hi everyone

well after telling myself everyday since Thursday (the day I succumbed to buying early response PK) I got in from work today and got a lot of satisfaction from peeing on a stick til I got a BFN....

So now I am thinking that AF isn't due til Thursday, and how reliable can these early tests be anyway. Advice?? thoughts?? We have only been trying for 7 weeks and I am officially feeling INSANE. I have mother and baby magazine hidden under the bed (my secret vice) as am trying to maintain calm exterior to other half, and just have 'fun" trying.

Good luck everyone....

Same to you meita, I'm on here again although trying...to...break...away...
I will definitely post any good (or other) news ASAP.

waves at zayja we've met before

As you can see from my frequent postings all over MN, my schedule currently is not much different from yours. Good luck - and please please do report any BFP here quickly, pretty please?

Ooo, obsessing during TWW is my favorite passtime, can I join?

It's so nice to hear from others in the same boat. Oh how I wish I could get things done around the house like spireal. My current schedule as follows:
-wake up and symptom spot
-POAS
-BFN
-console myself that it's too early to test
-console myself passing time on MN
-15min or so of housework
-eat (hmm I feel extra hungry today...)
-check MN for updates
-repeat until bedtime
-fall asleep wondering...

Well, if AF is on her way she should arrive in the next 3 days for me. Here's hoping she stays away for all of us this lucky month!

Well maybebaby, all is not lost - as long as she hasn't arrived, I wouldn't give up hope! AF might yet have an accident on the road and not turn up after all... fingers crossed for you!

We're getting busier in here! Has anyone got any good news from testing over the weekend, those who were at a position to do so?

Wow aly323, a lot of what you're saying rings true with me too! I'm having the same problem with being disappointed every time I feel fine, with the same lack of any breast sensitivity. But then I never usually have any problem with mine at any point in my cycle, so maybe I shouldn't be too surprised.

I'm also finding it hard not to tell everyone I meet that I'm TTC. It's been such a big decision so long in the waiting that it's all exciting. But then I also don't want certain people (like the boss!) knowing, as that'll pretty much kill any promotion prospects I might have in the near future.

My lovely DH has been really good thus far. He's been analysing temperatures with me, though has reached the conclusion that female bodies are weird. I can't say I disagree, really! Oh well, at least every time I've told him that now is the time to BD he's been 'up to the task', as it were.

Anyway, currently I'm back to feeling just fine. So, I'm starting to think that maybe nothing has happened this month. My temperatures were a bit confusing, so I'm not sure whether I ovulated on day 10 or day 14... If it was day 10 then I might have been a touch too late with the BDing, as I was away and couldn't get started until that day.

I'm going to do my best to hold out until this weekend before testing, I think! I managed to get a handful of cheapy tests from Tesco (BOGOF) so I won't be too worried about burning through them. I figure if I test on Saturday then it could be like a control if it's a BFN, and also a good way to practice the whole POAS fun!

I'm saving my shiny ClearBlue Digitals until I get something vaguely like a positive on the cheapies, I think. ;) Then I'll confirm the following day in digital.

Hi folks, is there room for one more? I am on CD 25, 9DPO, and getting more and more excited as the days pass!! My temps have been consistently high, my boobs are agony and I spent most of the morning trying not to puke up my toast.. however I am still convinced that most of this is in my mind! Am planning on testing next Sat as it will be way past my longest cycle, but think I will probably crack and test mid-week... FF isn't helping with it's early preg indicator - 83 pts!
Thanks for letting me obsess with you!

Hello all! Mind if I jump on too? I just started posting on the first time frolickers link, but reading this, I feel that I could have written most of the posts so far! I'm 3 or 4 days into my two week wait and am already making myself insane. I o late, so AF is due around the 16th or 17th. I'm planning to wait until then to test, but I'm doubtful that I'll have the willpower.

This is my first month and I'm making myself crazy. I think I need to adjust my diet to include less "gassy" foods. Each time I feel a pull or a bubble, I go on an emotional rollercoaster. Every few minutes, I give myself a grope and get disappointed when my breasts feel just fine. I also need to stop telling people that we're TTC. It could be a very long haul for me if I don't just calm down!I'm also running out of things to research- I need my bfp so that I can obsess over that instead of TTC.

I'm looking forward to some BFP's on here in the next few days. Maybebaby? Meita? Scarlett? Gargula? I've got fingers crossed and am waiting anxiously!!

Spireal, it looks as though we're on the same schedule. I'm ready to start testing whenever you are!!! Maybe I should consider distracting myself with some house cleaning, too. No doubt the place needs it. DH has a new excuse for all his clutter- he's too exhausted from TTC . A few years ago, he would have killed for so much BDing. Now it's "work". He'll use any excuse not to clean up.

Hi everyone! Mostly I've been following the advice to try and keep myself as busy as possible, so I don't think about it too much.

It seems to be working so far, and the nice weather has certainly helped. So far this weekend I've cleaned the house from top to bottom, washed (and dried) everything imaginable, cleared out all the out of date jars from my kitchen cupboard and reorganised it all, and I've just finished working with DH to attack the front garden!

As for symptom spotting in my moments of rest, I keep swinging back and forth really. One moment I'm sure I'm getting likely symptoms... Abdominal twinges, unmentionable digestive problems, etc. One particular thing is the last couple of days I've been really acutely aware of smells for some reason... Or am I noticing the smells now because I'm actually paying attention to them??

Anyway, a short while after dwelling on things, I suddenly realise maybe I don't feel bad at all. In fact I've had moments of feeling really great and energised, then I've run around doing a bazillion things! Hense the tidying of the house.

So... Mostly, I've reached the conclusion that I'm probably broken somehow. :P Does anyone know how long bodies are under warranty, and how easy it is to get a replacement???

Good morning, what a lovely day this promises to be!
You ladies all seem distinctly un-obsessed - at least no-one is writing in here, which indicates quite a degree of relaxed-ness!

This morning my temperature went up quite a bit. Last time when that happened, at about the same time in my cycle, I got up and peed on a stick (and it was positive - but I MCd a week later). Today I told myself "No no no no way!" As I was sure I'd just be disappointed - it's simply still to early.

So, got up, turned on computer, put the day's measure into my online chart. Then what I often do is look up my best friend's chart, she has been trying for her 3rd, since 15 months now - just recently they discovered they had Chlamydia and had it treated, and this now is their first cycle post-treatment, and she's about as far along as I am in her cycle. So, looked at her chart - and she was obviously less patient than me, she tested with an "early" test, and it came out BFP! I'm really pleased for her - though those early tests are always a bit of a gamble - but now I'm so sorry I didn't do a test too - it would have been simply brilliant to have both tested positive at the same time! (But then, had I tested, it probably would have turned out negative anyway... )

Anyway, I hope I've managed to get you all back to obsessing about tests and AF and symptoms... :-)

Have a nice Sunday!

Hi everyone

Just wanted to join the obsessing ;)

AF due Thursday, have bought some First Response early tests (supposed to work 6 days before AF) but trying to stay strong and not test til at least Wednesday as I think these are more reliable the closer you leave it...

Have only been trying for 2 months but am officially obsessed with trying to detect random stomach cramps/symptoms etc... does anyone have experience of these First Responses tests and their accuracy??? I have read mixed reviews about them,,,,

Good luck to everyone, have a great weekend...

Hello,
can I join you for some obsessing and all?

We're TTC for #1 since February, and last month I was over the moon as I saw my very first BFP - but unfortunately I MC'd just a week after, and so I'm back to the game of waiting, symptom spotting and obsessing. Whereas I was pretty relaxed and in a positive mood before the MC, now I'm much more tense and worried. Ah well.

AF is due sometime from next Wednesday to Friday, but it might all be a bit off as hormones from the previous PG might have caused some havoc. We'll see. That won't stop me from testing if AF doesn't arrive soon!

Any fantastic ideas of how to make time go by faster? Apart from MNing, that is

Hello,
Just posted under May Bus but thought I'd respond here too as I'm on the dreadful TWW as well! My AF is also due on Monday and I'm trying to be very strong and not test before I'm actually late, so on the Tuesday morning.
I'm TTC#2 and only on my first cycle but I'm still desperate to test. Not gonna do it though - spent a small fortune on tests when trying for #1!
