I think I ovulated on CD19. Due to DH work commitments we only managed SWI once but that was on CD19. I know a BFP is still possible but we did only do it once.

It's too early to test but I have all my hopes of a BFP running through my head and symptom spotting. My body has been cruel in the past though and got my hopes up only for AF to appear.

However, this evening I am feeling quite nauseous and have had feelings like ligament pulling in my abdomen. Also slightly tender boobs.

I'm 8dpo and just want the next week to be over so I know!!!

Feel better for getting that out!

Hi girls.

My dr said the bloods were negative so i have to go see a gyno to find out what could have caused all that stuff

So guess its a BFN for me now but im just worried now incase there is something seriously wrong which means i cant have kids at all

I am abit disheartened i wont lie :( but wish u all the best of luck

Xxxxx

ModelMom - how confusing for you :(
How long do they think it will be until you get your gynae appointment?
Do you have any other symptoms at all?
Sorry for all the questions but hope you're ok and do feel you can stick around on the thread (if you want to!).

Mondayschild - welcome back :) Hope you get a better end to your 2ww this time!

monkeybubbles - any news?!

happymummy - has TEW shown up yet?

As for me, I'm 8dpo and feel full of symptoms Hmm For more than 24hrs now I've had that sort of nauseous sort of lack of appetite feeling that I've not had since I was pg with DS. All sounds promising but it's still so early and we all know how cruel our bodies can be in fooling us into hope!

Thanks Essence Smile

Good luck for your BFP, I think I'm about 8dpo too but a little unsure exactly.

happymummytobe · 03/02/2011 09:19

Hello

No sign of my period yet and I have the most achey boobs. DH is convinced I'm pregnant (yes, but what does he know?!).
Doing another test this weekend.

ModelMom · 03/02/2011 10:44

Hi Essence and ladies

Well il stick around as il jump back on the train next week i think and start this rollercoaster again iv learnt so much now in terms of timing fertile days ovukation etc so i feel more prepared

Im booked in for the scan on the 15th however (according to my new app) i do have a normal-ish cycle as i AF came yesterday making her just one day late lol

My fertile days are the end of next week and then ovulation day is the 15th? Does that sound right your fertile BEFORE ovulation day or is my app lying lol

DH was sad about bfn but he was just like yes lets try again next week so its game on lol

Thanks for all your support girls xx

happymummytobe · 03/02/2011 14:45

ModelMom As I understand it, you're fertile before you ovulate because sperm can live for up to 5 days (I even read up to a week somewhere) inside you (strange thought!) and so the theory is that as soon as you ovulate there are sperm all ready to go!

Really hope that makes sense!

xx

Sorelip · 03/02/2011 16:38

I think I'm 7 dpo, and my I just noticed that my boobs are sore. Hmmm...

Sorelip · 03/02/2011 16:38

My I? Plus I'm losing my marbles!

monkeybubbles · 03/02/2011 17:51

AF was due yesterday...no sign yet!!!

DH has made me wait until today to take a test, so now I am just waiting for him to get home for the big moment...

Please keep your fingers crossed for me :)

ModelMom sorry to hear about your BFN, but glad to hear you're back at it (which the men never seem too upset about anyway!)

essenceofSES how crazy that we become so excited about nausea? but that does sound promising :)

LubblyJubbly · 03/02/2011 18:28

So, AF was due today and nothing so far, I only get a 10 minute signal with my AF anyway (funny scratchy sensation in the nether regions then bang) so I'm on tenter hooks...

So far have done a FR 9 days ago, 7 days ago, a Boots test 4 days ago, cheap ebay one on Tuesday and another today....am I mad?!?

ModelMom · 03/02/2011 18:55

haha hi monkey bubbles my fingers and toes and everything else is crossed for you please bring us some good news!

happymummyto be yer i understand im planning a little trip with the DH so next week is a good week? xxx

monkeybubbles · 03/02/2011 20:00

LubblyJubbly and Sorelip - any update?!

ModelMom - glad you're jumping back on and still here.

How's everyone else?

I've been away with work for a couple of days and my symptoms seem to be fading. Still a bit of cramping but it could be AF cramping now and I had a bit of brown spotting earlier this evening. DH did urge me to do a test and I told him it was too early (I'm not due on until Monday) but went and did a test anyway and got a BFN :(
I'm not very hopeful now :(

OP posts:
Mondayschild78 · 05/02/2011 10:51

Hey essence maybe it was just a bit too early to test do you think?

Maybe see what happens on Monday?

I have no symptoms and feeling a bit in limbo! Not exactly sure when AF is due as had a weird month last month with some brown spotting when AF was due and various other symptoms but negative test and AF seemed to arrive in force about a week later

Will keep fingers crossed for you

Sorelip · 05/02/2011 12:30

Hi Essence, no update yet. It will be a while before I know either way, as I'm getting married next Thursday, so the stress of it may delay AF. How early can you test and get a BFP? I'm tempted to test now, but it's probably far too early.

happymummytobe · 05/02/2011 12:44

Very hard to believe, but I'm pregnant!! Did one of the digital tests this morning and made DH look after the 3 minute wait... And it was positive! Not sure what to do now, but am so happy and relieved that my emotional weirdness of the last couple of weeks can be explained!

Very much hope you all have good news soon too.

Sorelip · 05/02/2011 12:56

Congratulations happymummytobe :) I hope you have a wonderful and safe pregnancy.

happymummytobe - that's great news! Congratulations!! Grin Grin Grin

Sorelip - getting married??!!! Wow! Congratulations!!!
When are you due on? Some pg tests may give you an accurate result a few days before AF due but no guarantee.

Mondayschild - I know what you mean about feeling in limbo! I guess we'll both find out over the next few days one way or another!

babybythesea · 07/02/2011 10:17

Am now on the 2WW - why does it take so long??? Due to test on 17th - that's a whole 10 days away. Not sure if I'll last that long - have the tests in ready and am just trying have enough will power not to break them out early. (A little bit early I could possibly get away with, but 10 days might be pushing my luck!).

Congratulations to monkeybubbles and happymummytobe.

Hopefully we will all be heading over to the pregnancy forum where we can see you again with your bumps.

Sorelip · 07/02/2011 12:24

Hi Essence, I'm sorry AF got you. I started getting what I call 'the 2 day rage' on Saturday night, so I know AF will be paying me a visit this month. I got so upset yesterday - angry because of the rage and upset because of what the rage means. I'm due on Thursday - wedding day. How's my luck Angry

Mondayschild78 · 07/02/2011 21:39

essence sorry to hear AF got you, that sucks

sorelip good luck for Thursday, have a wonderful wedding. Maybe adrenaline will hold off AF for a few days... happened to me... fingers crossed for you! Either way have an amazing time Smile

I'm still in limbo, after last month I no longer have any idea how long my cycle is, when AF is due to start or when I should test! All OVER the place... oh dear Confused

LateToTheTTCParty · 09/02/2011 19:06

Well, hello 2WW, we meet again...

I'm 3 dpo and have been SWI until poor DH faked man-flu to get out of it (Wink), but had to go to see the doctor today about cystitis - have got antibiotics & doc said that they shouldn't affect anything... still don't feel quite right about it though Confused

So, can't really do much symptom spotting at the moment - there are other things kind of grabbing my attention! - maybe that's not such a bad thing. AF is due on 21 Feb....
