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

[StormBird]

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.....

Thanks Naiti! Well it is still lurking but hey ho. I too am a hormonal MESS this week. I don't think the nausea coming and going will matter much at this stage - it's bound to be a bit variable so don't give up hope!

I am in a real dichotomy about this - half of me loving the idea of babies and pregnancy but the other half bricking it.

Does anyone else have very odd, vivid dreams when they are pg? I couldn't sleep last night for visions of positive tests. It was horrible as I am too scared to actually POAS.

Well I peed on another stick this morning and no surprise another BFN. Starting to fell a bit like AF is on it's way too, but I'll keep holding out a glimmer of hope until it's actually here. SIGH

And this stupid kidney virus thingy is still hanging about so I can't even have a nice calming bottle of vodka glass of wine tonight.

Naiti don't know is Justshagging will stop back, but I read earlier she got her AF

Thankgoodness for daytime Come Dine With Me.

Hi All,

I'm still here just been hanging around on the top deck trying to catch a tan!!

Well I was on a hen do in brighton on Saturday so before I went decided it was probably a good idea to POAS just to put my mind at ease and make sure I wasn't going to harm any babies that might be hanging around in there!! So I POAS'd on Friday (7DPO) and it was a BFN....no surprise really but it did put my mind at ease enought to let my hair down, I hadn't been on a night out since christmas! Then Friday afternoon I felt unbelievably tired like I did when I was first PG, I fell asleep at about half 8ish that night and woke up at 7am with a banging headache.

Flightattendant I had had a very vivid dream on friday night about a girl at work and something to do with going for a job and I got upset (I think i even cried in my sleep lol)In fact when I was first PG i remember having some seriously effed up dreams and remembering every detail. Then on Saturday morning and with a pounding head I started to throw up. I was a bit pissed off really cos I thought it meant that I might not be able to go on the hen do. Anyway, about an hour later I felt fine, like nothing had happened. I'll be honest it did make me wonder if I was PG. So I kinda took it easy on the hen do although I did drink.

So after all that I POAS'd this morning (10DPO) and still got a BFN. The dry mouth and throat thingy is slowly disappearing but by about 1.30pm everyday I feel exhausted and feel dizzy on occasions. These could obviously be explained by the drinking sesh but I just gotta feeling that thats not the explanation. Maybe I'm being silly I don't know! I'm due on on Friday and I don't have any AF signs like I would normally do. No cramping which is strange, I always get the phantom period pain a good 5/6 days before???????

I could be getting off this ship at the next dock - I'm usually so aware of AF's arrival that I can even pin it down to within an hour. For me this is v. strange.

Hope you're all well.......to anyone who's AF got them I hope to see you on our next trip. Hmm maybe I should start thinking about where to go and what to do on the next 2WW!!!

XXX

DinkyTinky LOL at your post. Walking the Plank if you get a BFP!! And Welcome.

xx

So if a BFP means walking the plank, what does AF mean? Being locked in the brig until you've shagged your way to the next 2WW cruise or stranding on a desert island?

(as long as there is a free bar, and my DH think I'll take the desert island)

stormbird I think i might be disembarking with you at the next dock - I hope it's somewhere nice....with cocktails!

Feel like AF is on it's way.

I haven't disembarked though have just waved bye to AF and am ready to start again! Am just hanging around on board for the next journey - quietly in the brig nomorechocbiscuits

Spent the weekend setting up my website for my new company, part of me thinking, yes flexibilty for having children, the other half thinking am I mad doing this and thinking of TTC!!!

Has anyone had any news yet, I have to live vicariously through you guys now...
for 2 weeks anyway.

Hi all,

I've been lurking for a while - can I join the cruise?

I'm on my first 2WW and unfortunately having decided that we wanted to start TTC I am so impatient that I want a BFP noW I'm very aware this is not likely first time round but would like to join you.

How early can you POAS?

Hi Stormbird - wow, what a weird thing to happen! And combined with the throwing up I would definitely consider that a sign.

I hope you get a BFP a bit further along - 10dpo is very early really. I'm 12 now and still too chicken shit to test

Right now I am sat here holding DP's lovely woolly hat that he left here the other day, and sniffing it, and crying

there is something wrong with me isn't there.

Crazy - you can POAS whenever you like but you prob won't get anything till at least 9 or 10dpo.

It depends on sensitivity of the test as well I think. I'm a bit out of the loop with all this but I'm sure someone else will know!

Does anyone know if there are any designated cabins on the ship where you can obsessively press your own boobs trying to decide if they are painful, or is ok just to do it any old place? I think I might need it if so... 5 days until I can POAS.
I agree with flightattendant, crazy you can POAS whenever you like but it's worth waiting as the disappointment of a BFN, and then thinking that maybe you've just done it too early can be a bit of a pain. I'd agree though, probably about 9 or 10 dpo depending on the test.
flightattendant I don't think there's anything wrong with you, unless you normally spend time sniffing hats? That sounds like hormones to me, so fingers crossed for you and for stormbird
Any news mrs wajs?

LOL Naiti...let me just direct you to the boob-pressing area. They have little booths and curtains and everything. It's lush

I am now getting the feeling AF is well and truly on its way. It's 2 days early if so but never mind - it would explain the very evident weirdness of the last few days.

You know that feeling when you just keep running to the loo armed with your Always Ultra and nothing has happened?

Oh well...time will tell. You are very good waiting 5 days! This time I tested 2dpo, 4 dpo and 6 dpo. Then I stopped as it was getting near the point at which it stopped being a game iyswim! Opposite to how I used to be. I used to be desperate to test and have to force myself to wait.

I did unwrap one of the FRs earlier but didn't wee on it. Pathetic.

No news Naiti - still no AF as yet (altho haven't done a gusset check since 11am!)
But still felt it was en route this morning when I got up.
I hate this stupid waiting game - if it would just come then I could make my Drs appointment and get the ball rolling.

I'm still well and truely on the boat. No sign of BFP and feeling decidely UN-AF. GEtting more excited with every passing hour day. ekk!

Hmm. CD26 of UCL31, and I think I've got a mild case of thrush - not the horrible awful want-to-claw-your-bits-out variety I've had in the past (sorry!) but a mild-ish itchiness and tenderness and a bit of an odourless discharge. Of course, I'm being wildly optimistic and hoping it's PG sign - haven't had thrush in about eight years or longer and the NHS site reckons it's a PG thing... Still, I've no other symptoms, so I'm sure I'm just kidding myself. Will POAS on Friday (CD29) because I've got visitors coming and fancy a glass of wine - of course then I'll tell myself it's a false negative, and it's still probably too early to test, even though I'm not sure when I ov'd... Grrr!

Oh that sounds hopeful! I had the clawing variety earlier this week. I never get it either. V strange! I am sure I have read people had it as a sign, too.

Good luck!

I just POAS and cannot look at it

DP was here for a while after work and the kids were so full on we didn't get to speak really - and now he's gone, and I was feeling so PMTish and cross that I decided I couldn't possibly be pregnant, also getting cramps (which I don't normally until AF is actually upon me so to speak) and have decided they are a sign of imminence, too.

Two days till I'm due.

Is there anyone who lives near me and would like to come and look at my FR?

Ooh, look, look! Good luck!

that's great news nomorechocbiscuits!
What did it say flighty? What did it say?????
Sorry about the thrush fingerscrossedgirl, but hope it's a good sign!
I got out of bed this morning and felt really dizzy so had to lie down again... am hoping that's a good sign too!

I hope so too Naiti!

Sadly AF at about midnight but hugely relieved tbh!

I looked at the tests from 4 and 6dpo just before that as was on the phone to DP (who wanted me to look, too - 'Why don't you go and look now?' 'I can't! You have a look down the phone!' 'er...')

and the 4dpo was still blank but the 6dpo had a line! Cue even more panic, then reading leaflet saying 'a negative result may not stay accurate' so guessed it was prob an evap. But I still don't get why it was there.Totally irrational to be obsessing about 6dpo test when I had the 12 one in the bathroom! But DP was very patient.

I looked at the 12dpo after I started AF and it is blank as blank can be.

I'm not buying FR again. They give me the jitters!

Good luck everyone else. We are having a breather for a few months I think. Xx

AF arrived this morning. Again, better luck next time for us too....
i do get very down about it.....

I'm sorry Page.

Better luck next cycle...will be thinking of you.

I feel like I have missed lots of drama! what with the boob pressing and the thrush and testing... wow.
Sorry page62 - you can join me in next cycles obsessing!
I will be out of sinc with you all as I am into new cycle, don't leave me when I am obsessing please!!!! Must remember to have sex - who decided going away in a tent with friends was a good idea this weekend - oh yes DH.

thanks for all warm messages
i am very down about it more than i normally am i think it was because i was hoping our holiday would be it -- and now, nothing to look forward to - no summer hols, no bump. i'm beginning to think maybe we should just be happy with what we already have (1 boy and 1 girl) - but having MCed last year, i still yearn for one more
i hope i snap out of it, but i am really down about it and had a good cry last night

No testing here today and no AF either. Ho hum... Am now thinking of testing. Not sure I can stand another BFN though.

Oh who am I kidding, I have no will power.

(NMCB apologises for coming across a bit self absorbed and uncaring of others, but until she knows either way she just can't help it)

Huge hugs for you Page62, feel free to blub and snot all over my shoulder (I'm not that self absorbed).

(Leaves a big pile of chocolate and wine on the table for those in need)
