Lovely lovely gynie specialist managed to whip out my Mirena (went astray, have posted before) without needing a GA (or three month wait for one) so am now officially TTC!

This (hopefully) will be my second DC, and am planning to use Persona to get to know my cycle a bit.

Is there a board I can join? Feel a bit weird about just jumping on to those great long boards where everyone knows each other...

nothing here yet but not much bedroom action either so not suprised.
feel just like normal and have been drinking tea which i couldn't stomach with the dds.

never mind tiff- there's always next month!

tiffanys · 02/10/2009 15:51

Hi all

Well af got me yesterday so im out of rubnning this month. One good thing is that I at least now know a rough cycle length so not all bad!

bigbird - how are you feeling? any symptoms yet?

BrokenBananaTantrum · 02/10/2009 12:42

thanks BigBird. how are you feeling?

bigbird29 · 02/10/2009 11:01

congrats! not long now! x

BrokenBananaTantrum · 02/10/2009 10:45

Yay I've managed to get an appointment to have my implant removed on Tuesday instead of having to wait three more weeks

HKT · 01/10/2009 10:48

Congrats bigbird
Well, my MIL has had to go back into hospital, I'm due to OV this weekend, and probably won't see DH at all, as he's working on saturday, then will be travelling backwards and forwards to hospital
If it's anything like last time, she could be in for 2 or 3 months, so I'm probably out of the running for a while.
Hope the rest of you get BFP's really really soon

bigbird29 · 30/09/2009 22:20

Thanks everyone for your messages much appreciated.
tiffanys-crossing my fingers for the next couple of days.
brokenbananatantrum-hope u get ur appt soon.
stillfrazzled-hope you are feeling better soon and BFP!

BrokenBananaTantrum · 30/09/2009 18:15

None from me yet tiff. I'm still waiting for an appointment to get my implant removed. It's sooooooo frustrating. Hope AF sods off elswhere for you all

tiffanys · 30/09/2009 17:37

Hiya all

Massive congratulations on the bfp... im so pleased for you!

well quick update .... still no af its due tomorrow definatley got some symptoms of both af and being pg so will try and hold of testing, If i am late then i may test over the weekend. but to be honest i think af will arrive this month.

anybody else have any news/updates for us?

BrokenBananaTantrum · 30/09/2009 10:11

Stillfrazzled - I'd stick with paracetamol if you are worried. Drink loads and try and rest. Phone in sick to work if you have to and stay in bed if you can.

Hope you feel better soon.

stillfrazzled · 30/09/2009 09:56

Congrats bigbird! Maybe this will be a lucky thread

I'm still waiting to start bleeding (Mirena removed two weeks ago today, one day after what I'm fairly sure - based on EWCM - was ovulation).

Have done two tests, the eBay cheapies, both BFN.

BUT need advice - currently dying (poss slight exaggeration there) of horrible cold and aching in every limb. Really want some Nurofen or similar, but even tho I know I'm almost certainly not pg, feel guilty about it.

WWYD?

Thanks! yes I have quite a long cycle 37 days so my due date is the 10th June! It hasn't really sunk in we haven't told anyone yet (apart from you guys!) This means my mother in law, step mother in law, my mum, my gran and nan in law and this bump would all have birthdays within a week of eachother! Lots of Gemini's lol!

girlsyearapart · 30/09/2009 08:48

Yay bigbird congrats!
Have you worked out due date?

bigbird29 · 30/09/2009 08:39

Tiffany- sounds promosing I couldn't remember too much about symptoms from my ds and I was sure I wasn't pg this month but I've done 3 tests now 2 digital and woop woop its defo pg! My symptoms were stomach cramps on 3dpo I had no show I felt a bit groggy but then about 5dpo-10dpo I felt completely normal so thought it hadn't worked then I started to get sore boobs pmt like symptoms quite ratty and only the last 2-3 days I've had nausea feelings. It is sooo hard to symptom spot as it is so similar to af symptoms.
Its the hardest the 2ww fingers crossed for everyone!

Muser · 29/09/2009 21:34

Hi, don't think I've posted on this one to introduce myself. We're planning on TTC no 1 in the next month or so. I am very excited!

Sorry you've had such a hard couple of days tiffanys. Hope it gets better soon and it turns out AF is not on the way.

girlsyearapart · 29/09/2009 21:31

Hi my dds have birthdays 3 days apart.
Good as they had shared party and will continue to until they start school at least!!

Conceived both of mine first try so it can happen twice.

Have become a tiny bit obsessed with running and Dh is always at work so we haven't been seeing much of each other.

Would be a miracle if I was pg this month..

tiffanys · 29/09/2009 21:16

Hi everyone,

Welcome to any newcomers.

I have had a cople of horrid/stressful days. Starting with having my car vandalised, then going to funeral yesterday so been quite stressed - enough ranting for me

Well i wasnt able to hold of testing so i tested about 5 days ago and got a bfn - although af not sue until thursday so i think it was to early, I have had very sore nipples, very bad backache, so much so that dh has been getting warm waterbottle for me everynight this week and I have just had to most overwhhelming nausea where i had to dash for the loo. I am hoping i am not imagining any of this.

Does anyone know if backache can be a symptom?

I to have become obsessed, this 2 ww has semt forever i dont know how i am going to be a a few months if i dont get the bfp! Im glad i can talk on here tho

nymphadora · 29/09/2009 20:54

Just marking my place, another week to go

BrokenBananaTantrum · 29/09/2009 18:50

God i HATE waiting

westyorshiregirl and kaylo I too am from West yorkshire. Nice to know you are too.

LouLou i've got my fingers crossed for you.

As I have had an implant for the last to years I havn't bled at all. I want it out so I can ttc a summer baby. Why do I put such pressure on myself.

I concieved DD after just 2 baby dances but from reading through the posts it sounds like even if you concieved quickly first time you might not again

Why am I stressing? I'm glad you lot are all here and understand my mumblings.

loulouscissors · 29/09/2009 16:43

Thanks BrokenBananaTantrum! It must be horrible having to wait to TTC! I fell PG with DS straight away so never got into this whole crazed obsessiveness before, but its been a while now and I honestly cant remember how I felt in the very early stages!Now it feels like every day is a lifetime and I'm just preparing myself for being disappointed! Not due AF till 10th Oct so still have a long time to wait!!!!!

BrokenBananaTantrum · 29/09/2009 14:42

I know how you feel loulou. it can become an obsession. Hopefully we can all keep each other sane!

loulouscissors · 29/09/2009 14:05

Hello All!

I'm new to MN, but i've been reading through these threads and I now don't feel so alone during this dreaded 2ww! DH and I have only just started TTC#2 this month (DS is nearly 6 and I'ne just realised what a gap there'll be), but I've suddenly turned into an obsessed lunatic! I'm only 4 DPO and trying to symptom spot even though I know its too early!!!I just cant think of anything else!!!

NichyNoo · 29/09/2009 12:45

Hi all, I'm still playing the waiting game - AF due next week. I don't 'feel' pregnant though if you know what I mean?

Can I ask a really stupid question?? Is it correct to think that the only time you can conceive in an entire 28 day cycle is the 6 hours or so that an egg is released and alive??

I remember spending my late teens obsessing about pregnancy scares and now it seems that it was only a risk if I had sex on the 1 day I had an egg (or maybe a few days before if the sperm managed to live inside me). It just seems that the odds are stacked so high against not getting pregnant that I'm wondering how everyone manages it

BrokenBananaTantrum · 29/09/2009 09:28

Hello can I join please? We are TTC #2. I'm waiting to have my contraceptive implant removed (can't get an appointment for a month!)

bigbird29 · 29/09/2009 08:44

oh and nymphadora, I have been extremely stressed in work this month so it may not affect you after all.
