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.....

Crazy that is brilliant news. Another Graduate, I'm so pleased and so fecking jealous all at the same time. Sorry Crazy, I'd never take it away from you hunny....WELL DONE! Smile

Well there are now 5 pregnant woman in my department at work and all of them have told me in advance of everyone else cos they didn;t want to upset me after everything that happened with my last PG. Makes me feel a bit like a charitry case to be honest but I know they are just trying to be kind. doesn't stop me from remembering though that I should be 33 weeks preggers now, that should be me, why is it not me, what did I ever do?

Sad

I've got my first couselling session today so hoping it helps.

Hope you are all doing well XXXXX

Hope the counselling goes well, the first one I think is always very tiring and draining but hopefully you feel like it is someone you can connect with. Hug x

raspberrytipple · 08/09/2010 17:47

Cowboy are you here? Any news, i have no AF but am now S**t scared to test!!! I have decided to wait until Sunday now Confused doubt I'll last that long though.... ohh and how was the baby show? x

cowboylover · 08/09/2010 19:25

Well still no AF I did a test on Tuesday (late at night tho)and a BFN from me but as I have only just got used to my cycles it may be just that so will wait now til Saturday or Sunday and see what happens if AF doesnt come.

I must fess up that I didnt go to the babyshow but did go on a mamouth Mothercare World and Childrens ikea tip. I was convinced that it was never going to happen to me and that I was missing out on stuff on my 2ww's so went to a house party and drank all night so was feeling fragile!!

Think it serves me right to be stuck in the middle of no where!

raspberrytipple · 08/09/2010 20:16

aww cowboy I know how you feel about the two week wait, I was going to be all good but it just clashes with something all the time. If no AF for me this weekend I am not going to drink though.

I've never heard of Mothercare World. I always want to go in one but am never brave enough to go in....

Well, I have decided having got a BFN on Monday that I am going to wait until Sunday now. Some days I think my symptoms are pg, other days I think Pregnant. I am rather manically symptom spotting at the moment! eek. Let me know how you get on!!

cowboylover · 08/09/2010 20:41

No I dont think I will besides my beef in red wine for tomorrow!

Good luck and keep in touch so keep each other strong! Smile

curiouselle · 08/09/2010 22:19

Not due on for another 8ish days but am convincing myself I'm pregnant, had 3 nights of feeling yucky, have brokeout in spots and have mood swings. However I have also just gone back to work and it might be stress and I'm just kidding myself...? who knows!!!! Hmm

raspberrytipple · 09/09/2010 07:38

Ah, you are as bad as me curiouselle, I symptom spot like mad. I'm going bonkers at the moment. I'm today 4 days late !!!!

StormBird · 09/09/2010 13:07

Ooooh I have my fingers crossed for you raspberry Another BFP on this thread would be fabulous.

Sorry about the BFN cowboy but you never know it could change in a few days, I hope AF doesn't get you and it is a BFP. Smile

Curiouselle same to you hun, I have my fingers crossed for you all.

Well CD5 for me so nearing then end of AF's visit. I've been having a bit of a rough time of it emotionally of late.....and suffering unbelievable migrains in the process. Its all down to stress I know it is, I just need to find a way to relax and remember not to put oo much pressure on myself.

I wasn't impressed with the counselling, I'm not sure if its right for me, but I will give it another go as it was only the first session. I didn't really connect with the counsellor TBH and her house smelt like CATS. Eeeeewww!!!! I think my counselling needs to be more specific, one of the girls on the 'TTC after termination due to abnormalities' thread mentioned that maybe I need genetic counselling, which sounds much better. I've also booked a session Reiki so hoping this will calm me down a bit.

Also, and I am warning you TMI.....I was woken up the other morning with very painful cramps in my lower abdomen. I am on my period at the mo so its not unusual but I passed a huge clot. Now I do clot but there are only very small normally. I'm worried that it was something more sinister but there has been nothing since. Considering the positive PG test and then my period coming could it have been an MMC do you think?

Sorry for the huge post and thanks

raspberrytipple Four days late and no POAS?! Good for you!! (I should follow your lead) I really hope you get a BFP on sunday! :)

stormbird Sorry to hear that the counselling wasn't that great and I have no clue what the clotting means...

cowboylover · 09/09/2010 18:19

Ok Raspberry I cheated again as it was staring me in the face this morning and we have a 2 line situation!

Its a very pale line but a line none the less so waiting til DH comes home and see what he says. No getting to over excited as I still dont believe it or think its real. Its so early

raspberrytipple · 09/09/2010 18:40

OMG cowboy!!!! how exciting. God, I was doing so well but now I might just give in and test, I have three cheapies upstairs, who cares if I waste one although TBH its not wasting the test Im worried about, its the fear that it wont be two lines :-(

Goldmaple hello, how are you getting on? Im not sure where you are in your cycle now? anything to report? I am doing ok in my not testing, Im just terrified of getting a BFN, I feel a little premenstrual all the time so Im not entirely convinced but this would be the longest cycle I have had in a long time!!!

Storm sorry to hear the counselling wasnt as good as you had hoped, I've had counselling in the past and it is a very personal thing, perhaps try someone else, you may find a different person much better but I dont think I'd want to sit in a house smelling of cats! I cant really comment on your clot, I think I may have had something similar when we were TTC last year but I didnt look into it like I am now, just put it down to being a bad period. I would suggest maybe going to the doctor though just to check and explain that you had a BFP, see what they say? Let us know how you get on xx

cowboylover · 09/09/2010 19:36

Mine was on a cheapie Tesco own! I feel the same and dont want to believe it. DH had a massive grin but I could see he didnt want me to go over the top just in case.

I think its a little of sods law after getting really drunk on the weekend and paying my deposit on my new tattoo that I have waited 8 years for yesterday. I dont think I will be able to go ahead if pregnant but I dont think I would care if it is real! [smie]

raspberrytipple · 09/09/2010 20:08

Well, I cracked too but unfortunately I got a BFN, pretty gutted to be fair. To make it worse, I called DP up to the bedroom and was sat on the bed when he bound up the stairs and through the door and I just quietly said 'im not pregnant', he misheard me and missed the 'not' and burst out in a big smile and went OMG it was positive, really!!" so I then had to repeat it which was just horrible seeing his smile go Sad

cowboylover · 09/09/2010 20:50

Ohh sorry to hear that but maybe the wrong time of day?

Im totally doubting mine and frantically googling images of evaporation lines, if doesnt look like that but still doesnt look like a positive enough either!

Fingers corssed for you x

And if not book some thing you wont be able to do if you are then maybe more luck?

raspberrytipple · 09/09/2010 20:58

I think you maybe pregnant cowboy!! maybe test again on Saturday morning on first wee, that's what my dp now wants me to do. Your right it may just not be the right time of day for me. I'll do another test on wknd in the morning if still no AF.

goldmaple · 10/09/2010 04:06

raspberry I am CD 28 of 30. Due on Monday. I POAS once on 26 but neg. As for your bfn I think you still have a chance of bfp because if your cycle is longer then you probably ovulated later and therefore you might not actually be late yet (does that make sense... it does to meWink )

I think I will POAS again... they are the cheapies so not much lost...

raspberrytipple · 10/09/2010 12:49

Thanks goldmaple, AF arrived this morning so CD1 for me, don't feel quite so upset this morning, I think I am going to drink myself silly this weekend although in reality I feel so tired I will probably be asleep on the sofa by 9!! Ahh well, at least the weather forecast looks a bit better for this weekned. Good luck if you POAS!

curiouselle · 10/09/2010 21:08

so sorry raspberrytipple glad you don't feel too upset, enjoy that drink!

cowboylover and goldmaple I wish you sooooooo much luck! Keep us updated.

stormbird sorry the counselling wasn't great, maybe you would be happier with someone who came to your house. Check the BACP website for qualifed counsellors in your area. It is important that you feel comfortable. To be honest (being a counsellor) I am not sure the type is counselling is much of an issue because the counsellor should adapt their skills to suit you anyway. An integrative counsellor is good at this, but all well trained counsellors should be able. Hope this helps! (hug)

curiouselle · 10/09/2010 22:42

bearing in mind we haven't told anyone about trying - my good friend also known as my adopted dad text me last night saying he had a random thought i was having a baby, I laughed it off but am secretly taking it as a sign! - stupid?! Blush

raspberrytipple · 10/09/2010 23:05

Ohhh, I've had that in the past, not long after I started work where I am now one of the girls there was pregnant but everyone knew but there was another girl who one day I thought ohh, I think she's preggers but didn't like to say. 1 hr later she came in and said, keep it quiet but I'm having a baby!! I was proper chuffed with myself, although before that my other mate in early pregnancy was awfully sick, stroppy an eating the most weird foods-one day I even caught her reading the company maternity rights policy and she just laughed and said she was curious, I was still in complete shock when she told me she was 10 weeks!!

crazydayz · 11/09/2010 10:57

Congrats Cowboy Grin - A line is a line! I can higly recommend the CB digital as there's nothing quite like seeing PREGNANT to make it seem more real.
Really sorry to hear about AF Raspberry I'm sure next month will be the month for both you and Storm

Love and babydust to all!

hey storm good luck with the Counsellor, let us know how you get on.

cowboy how are you?!! Any further news?

Hello everyone else!

Im just about to start SWI so should be back on 2WW by next next wednesday I reckon, we are just going to really go for it this time. Every other day regardless until AF turns up next which hopefully it wont. and after this months disappointment I am not even going to consider testing until CD35!

curiouselle · 14/09/2010 18:09

Af is due this weekend and now I have nooo symptoms, not even that I can make up. So last week was likely due to the stress of returning to work. harumph - just cam on to whinge really, sorry!
