The 2WW Luxury Liner has officially set Sail and I was wondering what the other passengers were like?

Hello Ladies.....

Anyone else in the same Boat??

CD16 for me, OV'd (as far as I can tell) on CD14. Had the whole EWCM thing but am so obsessed with this TTC thing that I am (for my sins) using the CBFM and trying to get my head round temping - its like a full time job ATM.

So I'd say I am officially on the 2WW.....

Didn't particularly enjoy the last 2WW as it was my first month TTC so was totally convinced I was PG the day after I OV'd - silly cow - I had fabricated every symptom you could think of and was truly suffering - in my head!

So this time round I am determined to try and take it easy, hence the reason I am on a cirtual Cruise.

Would love to meet the other passengers and share 2WW stories, worries and joys. If you fancy it come aboard.....

Storm, I am in exactly the same boat as you were last month, feel like i must be pg as ive mad up all the symptoms but they can all be explained away quite easily. Still, im going to keep my fingers and toes crossed and hope im right as I think I am now on the 2 wk wait :-( will be a long two weeks i think!

MrsWajs · 26/07/2010 06:26

Can this old hand jump aboard....?

Am on my final 2ww before the 1 year mark!!

StormBird · 26/07/2010 08:31

Welcome aboard girls........lets hope this Cruise ends in some good News for all of us.

fingers crossed

I just looked at another site and found out im only on my 2ww as of about tomorrow! Ive jumped on board now so I may as well stay - i really need to get my head around all this baby making business!!

GreenCar · 27/07/2010 06:39

Can I come on your cruise too?? Definitely on 2ww (in fact I just started a thread as to whether I'd had implantation bleeding or not - think entirely wishful thinking on my part!!). AF is due around the end of this week and my patience is running out!

Good luck to you all!

MrsWajs · 27/07/2010 08:20

Oooh we're getting a little posse going!

I'm not due til around 3rd/4th August roughly (didn't chart this month so not sure exactly what day I ov'd) so still a little while of mentalling for me yet!

So who's due to POAS first then??

teapartyfan · 27/07/2010 08:43

Can I join in? How to bear the suspense is problem one, what all the acronyms mean is problem two. I'm holding on til 6th Aug.

curiouselle · 27/07/2010 09:57

Hi can I join the boat?

I am on 2ww, in fact Friday is the day (though last cycle, which was my first off the pill, I was early).
I am managing to switch between thinking I am coming on now, to I am soooo pregnant! storm I am doing the symptom spotting as well - agghhhh
I trying to decide when I should test - just in case AF doesn't arrive! (is sat a daft waste of a test?)

Is it just me or is everyone this crazy?!

StormBird · 27/07/2010 13:28

I think everyone gets a little Crazy about the 2WW Curiouselle its difficult not to.

Welcome everyone else who's jumped aboard.

Af for me is due on the 5th August i think. If its late (which is unlikely as I am never late unless PG) I will POAS on the 11th - which is actually my birthday! What a nice present it would be to get a BFP.

Well good luck everyone.

Hi all,
I'd like to tentatively join you, as I've had 2 really early mcs recently and not sure where I belong so hope it's ok if I tag along on your boat!
I'm due approx 8th August but have promised myself I will not poas until 15th as this will pass my previous 2 early mc stages.
I thought I felt a bit sick this morning, that's clearly far too early for symptom spotting as I doubt if there is anything fertilised down there it hasn't even had a chance to implant!!

GreenCar · 27/07/2010 16:57

Well I'm due around this Thursday or Friday I would say but said I would wait until Saturday before testing.

Seem to have permanent dull pain which can't decide if period cramps or not (probably is).

Does anyone else have cramping?

StormBird · 27/07/2010 20:16

I'm 4 DPO Greencar and have had some unbelievably sharp pains today.....not very frequent but enough to make me jump!!! Is that cramping? I'm not sure but it could be a good sign....we'll see eh!!!

Hello!

I'm CD19 of 31, expecting AF on the 9th (though I've only had one cycle since coming off the pill, so I'm presuming/hoping this one will be the same length.)

No idea when/if I ov'd but did a fair bit of BD so we'll see!

Will do a preliminary POAS on the 6th which is probably too early, but I've got friends coming to stay that weekend and I'd like to scratch the curiosity itch at lest once before they turn up...

Good luck everyone!

curiouselle · 28/07/2010 08:55

Thank You StormBird nice to know I am not the only crazy one!

Greencar and StormBird I had 15mins of cramping on Sun that really felt like period pain but still not seen AF, though not due till Fri.
Am not sure if that means anything - do people believe in implantation pains? is that what that would be like??

cherrytomatobomb · 28/07/2010 09:19

Hiya,

I'm CD 20 of 27, due on 4th August. I'm an expert - this will be my 20th 2WW . Every month I get the usual symptoms, sore boobs, raging appetite, chocolate addiction, but still AF arrives.

This month slightly different, I had spotting on CD16 and really bad period pain, but its gone now.

Trying not to get my hopes up.

Fertility appt confirmed for 17th September...

crazybutterflylady · 28/07/2010 09:45

Hi all, hope you don't mind if I jump aboard... this is my first month TTC and I have too convinced myself I am pg. Ha!! I have been feeling really really tired and have sore gums and the funny metallic taste going on. But it could all probably be explained by something else. I'm pleased to see I am not the only once convinced my DH has super sperm

I am due on around the 1st - I just wish it would hurry up so I can tell myself off for being ridiculous... until it comes the crazy part of me is convinced I am pg!

StormBird · 28/07/2010 21:01

Hi Everyone,

Nice to meet you cherrytomatobomb....sorry to hear TTC has been a rather long slog for you hunny. Fingers crossed this 2WW is a fruitful one. Good to see you've got a fertility clinic appointment though, I hope it all goes well. How do you feel about it??

Welcome crazybutterflylady good luck for the 2WW. I told myself that this 2WW (this is my 2nd) I would try not to symptom spot....Yeah FAT CHANCE LOL!! I actually can't help myself, I drive myself mad!

Curisouselle I say I'm TTCing my 1st but its not really. I have been PG before but at 15wks we had a termination as our baby was suffering from a fatal Neural Tube disorder. It was very sad and a very hard decision. The point I'm trying to make is that it wasn't long ago and I still vividly remember what the first couple of weeks were like (before I knew I was PG). I was unbearably tired, spotty, moody, my boobs felt like they were going to explode and I couldn't let DP near them they were so sensitive. Gassy isn't even the word - I think I contributed considerably to that hole up there in the ozone layer I passed that much wind (TMI )

Anyway 5DPO for me and super gassy hahahaha!! Very tired and I have developed a really really dry throat and tongue?? Its not sore, just dry, but its so annoying. Signs??? We'll see.

Hugs to everyone xx

Hi

May I join you? I'm on CD22 of 29, 8DPO due AF due/test date next Wednesday 4th. I've got no symptoms at all. I want some signs!

This is my 5th month at this. How do folks not go totally bonkers?!

Let's share the madness

(Watching 16 and Pregnant on MTV )

MrsWajs · 29/07/2010 04:31

Hmmmm - I also have a dry throat.....

Tiredness - impossible to tell as I'm on nightshift

Gassy - Yes - but again due to nightshift

Mood - relatively ok given current circumstances

Funny taste in mouth - My gums bleed constantly so don't think I can really count that one

Boobs - Fine

Spots - None (for once)

Yep basically I have NO symptoms whatsoever

Am on CD26 of a possible 29-33 so AF due between 2nd & 6th August. Wish I bloody knew when I ovulated now

crazybutterflylady · 29/07/2010 08:42

curiouselle that's such a sad story ((hug hug)) - it does sound like you might be pg now though, how exciting!! When are you due on?

My symptoms have a new friend - I made Mr Crazy some toast this morning and was close to tears when he said thank you, like really welled up. WTF!?? It's not like he is inconsiderate usually and it was an emotional moment, he minds his Ps and Qs like the rest of us. If I am not pg then I think am going slightly insane...

I am also spotty but had a facial this weekend so blame that. Roll on the weekend...!!

Hi BrassicaBabe!

curiouselle · 29/07/2010 10:41

Hello crazybutterlylady I think you have me mixed up with stormbird tho I would like to also send a hug to her also! Here's hoping your symptoms are the real thing stormbird!
I came on last night - doh! Here's to next month, 3rd times a charm!

crazybutterflylady · 29/07/2010 10:49

Sorry you're right curiouselle... have a hug anyway... sorry to hear the evil AF is with you. I am sure mine will arrive this weekend and there will be a big thud as I come back down to earth!

And double hugs to stormbird, fingers crossed for a BFP soon. When are you due on? I know what you mean about the symptom spotting, it's just so hard not to. I am a woman obsessed

xx

waterloo51 · 29/07/2010 11:35

Hi Ladies, yup you guessed it im on the dreaded 2ww.
Been trying now for 13 months and nothing.

Mrs Wajs I have no symptoms so your lucky to have some

Curiouselle Better luck next month

Im due on the 8th but I know in my heart thats its going to be a BFN

Wishing all you ladies the best of Luck xxxxxx

youngblowfish · 29/07/2010 12:16

Hello ladies,

I am also on the 2ww, 4DPO. I am not due until after the 8th of August, as I have always had excessively long cycles. This the first month we are TTC, but I am terribly impatient!

Symptom spotting is driving me insane. I think my sense of smell got a lot keener and I am also feeling slightly nauseous, both psychosomatic, I suspect. Boobs are normal, so are moods. Any ideas to pass the time that don't involve wishing for morning sickness to hasten? Good luck to everyone x
