Hi ninja Smile

Im now 1dpo so officially on 2ww so i'll join you! af is due for me on 13/10

Nicolaplus1 · 30/09/2010 22:38

Me to please am also due around 12/10 picked up Positive on OPK on tues so am guessing i would have actually ovulated yesterday so fingers crossed Smile

AuntFlosAssassin · 30/09/2010 22:47

have you been using the opks for long nicolaplus1? I got my first ever positive on tuesday so i was quite excited by that as i have not been ovulating!

Nicolaplus1 · 30/09/2010 22:49

Hi well when i conceived DD is was pretty quick only used the for 1 month, the month i got caught pregnant.

This time round have been using them for approx 4 month.

BrillSmile plenty of baby dancing then Grin
Have you be using them long?

AuntFlosAssassin · 30/09/2010 22:55

yes plenty (including legs in the air afterwards lol)apart from tonight as dp fell asleep while i was up having a shower and drying my hair earlier Grin

Been ttc dc2 for 28 months and had 6 months of clomid for annovulation so couldnt do opks during that as it can cause false results-this is 1st month officially using them. Had dye test end of august and got all clear but dont think i ov'd after it (apartantly thats common after) so am hoping this is the month. fingers crossed all round!!

Nicolaplus1 · 30/09/2010 23:02

Wow i will be keeping my fingers crossed for you Smile its hard to keep positive but i kind of feel bad for been impatient now lol

Dont know about you but finding the times a challenge on its own lol we actaly said that we'd have a couple of relaxed months ( no opk etc ) but couldnt resist so peed DH was in vlate on tues though playing futi so none for us tues but managed to get 2 YES 2 in yesterday, dont know what was wrong with me i was like some rmpant animal LOL

Also got a sesh in monday so am hoping they were still up therewaiting Grin

allthatjazz · 30/09/2010 23:29

I'm due on the 10th or 11th can I join too? I am going barmy symptom spotting tonight. I should step away from google immediately. I've used opks and also got my 1st positive this month. I just dont think we bd'ed enough :( Does anyone else convince themselves they might be one minute then convince themselves they arent another. Oh I dont know :( this is the worst bit for me. Good luck to us all.

AuntFlosAssassin · 01/10/2010 13:20

Helloooooo jazzy!!! you will get sick 'looking at' me soon Grin. Im with you on the convinced/not convinced.

nicola what age is your dd? 2 times in one day!!! lol ah well i suppose you have to grab every chance you get Grin. I have tried the relaxed approach sooooo many times, it tends to make you more unrelaxed when you try to be all casual about it lol

skandi1 · 01/10/2010 13:25

Hi

Can I join in? Due on 11th and have ov so we'll see (and bd'd ofcourse).

Symptom spotting but so far none to spot....

Didn't have symptoms with DD so perhaps thats a sign....

Feeling ridiculous urge to poas even this early on and it would naturally be completely and utterly pointless at this stage.

Tell me to step away from the hpts please!

yay! hello everyone! i thought noone was going to answer this thread!
i'm with the convinced one minute/ not convinced the next thing. the 2ww is just horrid. i wish something instantaneous would happen like your pee would change colour or something, make things so much less stressful.

i had lovely cuddles with my friends 2 week old daughter today, she was so snuggly. ds is nearly 3 and you forget just how small they are when they come out. hopefully cuddling newborns will kick my hormones into touch and my nether regions will start the cogs turning.

on the symptom spotting side, i did have heartburn last night, and i never usually get it. plus i've been having what feels like faint period pains but since not due for ages i'm not sure what to make of that.

i'm taking pregnacare and royal jelly supplements, cutting down my caffeine but thats about it on what we're doing to will things along, apart from lots of shagging that is. although not managed the last 2 nights. have managed it every night since last af finished though so not bad i think? sorry thats totally tmi!

Evening ladies

auntflosassain DD will be 2 in december Smile

My nipples at the moment feel like ive had a cheese grator on them no idea why, usually get sore boobs around ovulation but only last a day or 2, ovulated wednesday so little confused bout the nipples.

I know its to early way to early in fact it wouldnt have even implanted yet.

Im taking B6, i read somewhere th mite help lol

allthatjazz · 01/10/2010 20:43

Its so confusing I agree nicola I've got weird on and off period pains too ninja at 5 or 6 dpo is it too early for implantation- i wish :( i have had more yellow wee ross TMI! Having some wine tonight its red which is practically healthy non? Hope all are well jazzy

can anyone tell me about opk's? if I don't get pregnant this month i think i will try them. although i'm hoping that since we've used concieve plus this month that it will have an effect.
i think i ov'd early this month, on the sat rather than the tues cos I felt some v weird twinges inside as it were. ah well, we'll see. 10 days to go.
can i make it to the 12th without poas?

alien06 · 02/10/2010 10:22

Can I join please?:) I'm due 14/10 ish! Has ov signs and bd all around that time as well as throughout the month, but did the same last month to no avail!
This is my 4th cycle seen having mirena removed so not 100% on cycle length yet but been between 30-32 so far , it is reducing though :) am hoping I get my new pmt symptoms again- bigger boobs hahaha
Have ickle pains in lower abdomen at the moment but that can't be anything exiting yet lol.
Hopefully we can all keep updated with our symptom spottin :) I agree wee being purple or something would be fab. It's the confusing with pmt symptoms that gets me!

doitorelsa · 02/10/2010 21:00

I would like to join in please! AF due 13/10, 2nd month of TTC. Been reluctant to join this thread in case it fed my obsession but can't resist!

sufferingbabyfever · 02/10/2010 21:39

Would love to join!

Already in the two week wait after ovulating Hmm

Im having a bit of bleeding or maybe spotting can anyone help me know what the difference is? Its not like my period, its really bright red! No lumps or anything like that and a liner is sufficient. When I have an actual period i need to use pads. ???

Im already stressed that this is another wasted cycle! Angry

skandi1 · 02/10/2010 21:50

Suffering,
implantation bleeding perhaps?? Sounds likely from your description.

Ooooh exciting!

sufferingbabyfever · 02/10/2010 21:54

I think its too early (boo!). Im not due till the 10th! I googled it and was frightened by the many links to a variety of cancers that came up! I have ran away and hid on the boards at mn! :)

alien06 · 03/10/2010 15:38

hey everyone,

my lower abdomen pains are now joined by increased CM (soz for TMI!) not sure this is anything exciting? due approx 14/10...could it be late ov?? or am I just talking totally rubbish lol

sufferingbabyfever · 03/10/2010 17:37

Ok I need advice. AF due on between 10th - 13th October. Not quite regular cycle length.

Def ovulated 27th september and took advantage of the fertile window.

Now have these symptoms:
mid cycle bleed (spotting? extremely bright red)
Quite strong cramp
Sore head
nausea

Google says cancer Shock but could these be early symptoms?

Im trying to stay away from early tests! Though the urge is strong!

Surely it can't be my AF as this would be really early!

NinjaChipmunk · 03/10/2010 19:07

Sounds like promising pg symptoms if you ask me. I've still got abdominal pressure and occ cramps but who knows
I don't think a test would show up yet would it?

Missyk5 · 03/10/2010 19:52

I am due today..., but nothing...., I did 2 early tests both last Wednesday and Thursday (afternoon) and both came back negative..., but I have had sore, large and heavy breasts which I've had for over a week, and my tummy is very bloated..., I also have had an awful taste in my mouth occasionally. My partner goes away on military exercise tomorrow teatime for 6 weeks and I just so want to know now this minute - the wait is awful. I may do another test tomorrow (but first thing in the morning).....!!

Thanks Ninja..., will do :)

Gill79 · 04/10/2010 14:16

Hello - can I join? AF due 14/10, first month of trying. I'm a bit of a newbie to the whole TTC thing - DS was conceived first time.

Can anyone tell me - if I've got normal AFs and not been on the pill how likely is it that I wouldn't ovulate one month? As no real symptoms this month (typical!)

I could be up to 8 or 9 DPO..... feeling weak and tired. Desperately seeking for other symptoms!

Good luck everyone.
