Gah! Has anyone else got crazily long cycles after coming off the pill? I hope I manage to get pregnant in 2010 let alone for September. When I last came off the pill my cycles were up to 70 days long (so, a 2MW not a 2WW, ugh) so it took AGES to get pregnant. Will it happen again? Come on rubbish body - get your act together!! And breathe.

Don't want to make you lose hope but it sounds a little like what I had drkgpink. I had a period that came a week early, then two weeks later some spotting. I was pregnant but miscarrying. I got very strong positives though, so not exactly the same. I hope yours goes the other way to mine. There's not much you can do except test again in a few days. Your HCG levels should about double every two days. So give it two days and see if your tests get stronger. Fingers crossed.

drkgpink · 29/12/2009 17:09

well not sure whats going on, still faint line on normal clearbule, digital clearblue says not pregnant but when taken apart has faint line on both strips in results window. lots of stuff on web about old style digital having two lines due to detecting LH and b-hcg but blurb on the conception indicator one says only get line in test window if HCG is actually there.

going to be a sit it out and wait one i think. although i don't feel pregnant so wondering if just chemical pg.

hope evryone else ok

Thanks for all the congrats - still grinning!!

Drkgpink, that sounds promising - what did the digital test say?

SamanthaB123 · 29/12/2009 07:57

Back to work today - only working at home but even so, it's a shock to the system. I don't know where to start. Where did the holiday go???

bunnygirl80 · 29/12/2009 07:51

Nancy sorry to hear what a terrible year you've had. I hope 2010 is much better for you.

I'm glad to hear others are drinking during their 2ww's - had been feeling a little bit guilty about it as lots of people seem to steer clear completely. Not that I'm out every night, but I do enjoy the odd glass or wine or two.

drkgpink · 28/12/2009 19:34

nancy so sorry to hear that, hope 2010 will be much better for you.

Congrats eleanora.

I had some spotting yesterday and after my premature AF 11 days ago and not knowing where I'm up to due to only being just over 3 weeks since implanon removed I did a HPT. faint positive on clearblue twice. Don't really believe it so going to get a digital one tomorrow and test again, don't have any symptoms and with the spotting something is telling me things aren't right. Time will tell.

How's everyone else?

SamanthaB123 · 28/12/2009 18:40

Dear Nancy, your story is so very sad. You are really brave. Good luck ttc next time around, I will be thinking of you.

I have a great feeling that I am going to conceive this month (although posting this on the internet may well be tempting fate!). I had a bit of a moment in the middle of the night last night - ovulation maybe, conception possibly? Time will tell. I heard that a woman has increased fertility following a miscarriage which has spurred me on a bit too. I am hoping that positive thinking and well timed bding will be enough for a BFP in January.

Any news at the front of the bus? SB

ilovethebeach · 28/12/2009 18:32

eleanora Huge Congrats

digitalgirl I am halfway ish through 2ww and don't feel at all pg so had a costa coffee yesterday and will be drinking 2+ glasses of wine a night for the next few nights as we are going away for new year! I know in reality a bit of alcohol won't be the deciding factor on whether I do or don't get pg. Totally fed up with this ttc lark but on the other hand don't let myself get down for more than 5 mins. I can't justify that when I have 2 lovely DC already

Anyone else testing soon? We need more graduates!

nymphadora · 28/12/2009 16:33

I dont drink coffee and I dont drink much alcohol. I can be tempted by mulled wine (like last night) or champers but I usually just head for the pop. So I just carry on as usual during my 2WW

UmBongo · 28/12/2009 16:08

I can't stand coffee digitalgirl, but am on the booze most months during the 2ww. Unless I am living in cloud cuckoo land and occasionaly convince myself that I am pregnant. I tend not to get totally sloshed, but the occasional glass or two doesn't count in my opinion! If I went off the booze every 2 week wait I have had, then I would be in an even more unbalanced state than wot I already am! I even had a few half glasses of wine when I was preg with #1 and he seems fine! (although that was three years ago when the government thought that that was OK not totally illegal as they now seem to think!

digitalgirl · 28/12/2009 14:53

Oh nancy that really sucks. Sorry you've had such an awful year. Is it worth getting a scan booked in to see if the bleeding is definitely a mc? Or has it gone past that point?

But hooray for eleanor and her bfp!

Am determinedly drinking coffee as I feel no symptoms whatsoever. Apart the usual mild morning cramps, although beginning to think that's part of my usual luteal phase. I'd also like to think my boobs feel a little heavier, but it's more likely I'm finally gaining some fat back in them after they were left like deflated baloons post breast feeding.

Is anyone else on here drinking coffee & booze through the 2ww?

yumyum73 · 28/12/2009 13:04

nancy so sorry to hear about your year. I really hope 2010 brings you lots of happiness x

CONGRATS eleanora really lovely to see a BFP

I've been spotting since Boxing Day and although want to believe it's IB I've had 3 negative HPT's so far so it's looking unlikely. I ovulated on the 20th December and can't believe i spotted so early as my cycle is usually 36-38 days long? Will see how the bleeding goes as at the mo it's ver very very faint and only when i wipe (sorry if tmi) will try one more test on my AF due date which is the 4th Jan and will see what happens.

Fingers crossed for everyone... need to see some more BFP's!

UmBongo · 28/12/2009 12:03

CONGRATULATIONS to Eleanora

Hooray - some good news at last

UmBongo · 28/12/2009 12:02

Sorry to hear that Nancy, heres hoping that 2010 is a good new year for you. Nothing wrong with feeling sorry for yourself - particularly on here but it does sound like you have had a hugely tough year. Apparently, I have heard, that the only way is up! (but sometimes it does seem that "up" is a long way away)

Can a stats bunny add me next time they update the list?
TTC#2, cycle 19, UCL 31-34, day 11.

Heres hoping we actually manage to have some sex this month with no man flu around. I am assured that having sex helps when trying to get pregnant!

Eleanora · 28/12/2009 11:54

Hi all,

Sorry Nancy to hear your news.

I had promised myself I wouldn't test for a few more days, but as I've had some light spotting and couldn't decide if AF was coming or not I thought I'd test to put my mind at rest and............BFP!! (1-2 weeks on Clear Blue digital)

LittlewhiskersCat · 28/12/2009 10:29

Gosh that's so very sad Nancy. Thoughts for you and your little lost one, and I hope 2010 brings you very good luck and news x

NancyDrewRocks · 28/12/2009 10:14

Thanks girls - just feeling really sorry for myself.

Christmas Eve was also DS2's due date - he was stillborn in August. Is almost a year to the day that we decided to try for baby #3 and I just couldn't imagine I'd be ending the year like this.

nymphadora · 28/12/2009 09:32

nancydrew so sorry that happened to me last month so I know how you feel, make sure you get plenty of relaxing time to get your head straight.

Kaw what's a migracap? Dh has always known
me to have them and I've been I'll a lot since we have been together so it seems to be a part of me now

lucylev · 28/12/2009 09:22

2ww for me, lts of bding so am hoping this could be it this month, had awful crapping on the left side of my tum all day yday have woken up this morn and it's gone also slight achey boobs otherwise no other symtoms and am going to hold out till day 28 to test

Any news from the frount of the bus?

kawaiiko · 28/12/2009 09:21

NancyDrew, so sorry

Nymph...migraines suck! You have my full sympathy. Before I shut up (because you're obviously an expert - unsurprisingly since they sound so shit!) have you heard of/tried a migracap? When nothing else seems to work, I swear by them. How does your dp cope, btw? My dh finds it quite upsetting that he can't do anything to help.

I think the time between af and ov should be called "The OTHER 2WW"! I'm twiddling my thumbs wanting to get started again!

At least now I know when I'm going to get a migraine and can cancel life in advance! Day or 2 for ov, 2 days for starting period, rate I'm going I'll be stuck at home most of the cycle!
