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

Hey luce, didn't mean to loose you, regarding your other link can you send me it I can't find it on here

it seems both olivetti and I both ovulated on the 19th.

I'd have thought hanky panky 10 times that week plus preseed and testing posiive for ovulation would be enough but with 4 neg tests I'm still no further forward!!

Ol what was your partners reaction???

By the way I feel sooo normal today apart from the mucas, breasts now normal just raised bumps on the aeola's or what ever they are called

Coz. X

Cozie - so CD18 would have been Friday 19th. So not very long ago at all! Which is why I am not getting too excited....

Lucy

Sorry I'm not sure by your -be if you mean she has tested bfn or bro! Golly I hate these abbreviations, makes us already obsessed woman sound not too clever as well !!!

Ol, (hope you don't mind( what date would your cd18 have been?

I'm not sure if it is, some say it can be and some say it otherwise, everything in this game is a maybe until proven otherwise

Cozie - tbh my cycle has been all over the place since January (came off pill in October, had two 32 day cycles then a 56 day cycle!!!), so I can't really work it out, although after I got my last AF I did an OPK and got a surge CD CD18. But then everyone's different and I know people who have had BFN BFN BFN.....BFP!! I'll keep my fingers double crossed. xxxxxxxx

Luce, yes I too have been using first response , Olivietti perhaps your ovulation date was before mine on the 19th or perhaps I'm just not pregnant!!

Thanks! I used First Response (I think that's what it is called - pink box). I've used them in the past when had scares (oh, the old days when I used to try NOT TC!) but never had a BFP. I've really felt pregnant though. HOWEVER, AF only really due any day from now, tend to have 32 days, and today CD28, so need to be really careful and not get too excited....must be only 2 weeks max.

Olivetti Friday it is!!!!

My boobs have calmed down on the hardness but now my nipples are bumpy, no other pma or fake pregnancy symptoms!!

I know what you mean by the oh yes IRS negative bur but I knew it was too early! May as well chuck the cash down the loo!!!

Many if not most of my friends have been accidents and it's have to bite my lip when they go on at how hard it is to be a parent blah blah I say

Hi Chained. I have backache too, but I am still wishin' and hopin' - will keep my fingers crossed for us both!!
Well - accidents have happened to a couple of my friends, and we are 32...by no means old, but not spring chickens either. A few of the girls said they forgot to take the odd pill, but I would think you would have to be so incrediby lucky?? Or unlucky, depending on what you are wanting to happen.
6th cycle - I know it's easy to say, but just as many friends of mine have said it took at least that lomg, and MUCH longer before they even thought about timing it...you seem to have to be so organised and lucky at the same time!!!

chainedtothedesk · 02/03/2010 20:25

Can i join in too? AF due tomorrow. Have back ache so i know she is on her way but i've still got my hopes up so will be so dissapointed tomorrow.

Olivetti - seem to know so many people that have had 'accidents' too, or got lucky on the 1st cycle. This will be 6th cycle for us so its easy to start to wonder why its taking so long when it seems to happen so quickly for everyone else. (or do people just say it was an accident / first time round?)

Olivetti · 02/03/2010 20:16

I know...I also seem to have loads of friends who are getting pregnant by accident, which seems to make me feel even more pressurised! Anyway.....will try and wait until Friday to test.

Well I came off the pill in October, but we were careful until Christmas. My AF came back quite normally, but then I had a really long cycle (like 2 months) Dec-Feb. Doctor said nothing to worry abot, just body settling down. So you can see why I am reluctant to test now....although I feel completely different this month and had surge on an OPK in line with EWCM. So early days I guess, but I am one of life's worriers! Hope you are feeling ok about everything? x
