TTC and TWW, AF due 5th March - can you help me keep my sanity?

Hi

Im now 9 days past ovulation with a BFN using first response this morning yet my breast are unusually large. They are quite painful from right after ovulation until AF.

My husband and I have been TTC since Dec 08 and MC at 14 weeks in June, now almost 9 months ago, i am of course dissapointed when AF arrives each month but what kills me more is this dreaded TWW

Would be keen to vent my 'phantom' symptoms with aynone else

Thanks cozie. Ha ha, I've been struggling to work out the acronyms and then I scatter a load more in to confue everyone.

BF = breastfeeding
DD = dear daughter

I do feel a bit nutty actually... although I guess the desperate hoping for positive test resolves the questions over are we really ready for another one!

Yes, conceived au natural - it took 6 months with No 1 although I don't think I was ovulating for the first couple as I'd been on the depo-provera contraceptive injection which messes with your fertility for a bit after you come off it. Same with the Mirena coil - have had some horrible withdrawel symptoms from that.

Hello, can I join you too please? TTC No 2, on cycle 2. Not sure about my cycle length as periods always been erratic, but I'm on CD23 so expecting AF sometime around the weekend. Only symtom is sore boobs, but I think my system is messed up from the Mirena coil. Had serious pg symptoms last month after it was removed - felt just like pg with DD, but wasn't. Struggling to remember whether I used to get sore boobs before (was on depo and no periods for years and years, then pg and BF, then Mirena so I have no idea!)

Think I am driving myself mad too and I promised myself not to get obsessed.

Congrats to Olivetti!

I'm on an i phone on the net using the house broadband whilst the the husband does work on the laptop! It's just not so easy to go through the forums to search for it, I've looked in last 15 mins etc but couldn't see it babe

if you go on to it and then when you'd type www and the rest of a web address put your cursor in there, press ctrl and a and then all should highlight black then press ctrl and c to copy go to new message on here and press ctrl and v to paste it, xx

Congrats Olivetti!! how early did you test?

AF not arrived here yet either but got a bit of a shock today when found out i may be made redundant. Could this affect AF's arrival i wonder? could possibly be really bad timing to fall pg now but if i'm going to be off work anyway...
