Thanks everyone. Have done some thinking and realise this 2ww is going to be the longest 2weeks of my life if I keep obsessing like this. As a teacher I'm on holiday so is giving me plenty of time to obsess instead of keeping me busy and thinking of other things. Not helping that I'm in the middle of nowhere staying at my DH work (he is a heardsman) so he's out working giving me plenty of time on google!!!

Also realised that my hayfever had come on with avengence so that explains the insomnia and irritability. Get it bad and usually have a steroid injection but don't want that now we're TTC. Have pirtieze which takes the edge off but not sure if its ok to take when pg and as I might be not sure whether to take them or not. Does anyone have any advice? Do I lock myself in the house obsessing and missing the gorgeous weather or take them and try to get out?

Esme sorry about your BFN but not too late yet, fx for you.

GMT wish I could follow your lead! Repeat after me breath .... relex ....

cycle day 12 today! its exciting coz i feel like i can be taking positive action, although heard that alternate days is best so we're sort of going fo that at the mo til i see some egg whitey mucous then will go like the clappers for a few days ;) i feel inspired by the people getting bfp on the first cycle so really want to get those sperm waiting for that egg!

Liliana1 · 19/04/2011 16:22

Good luck dreaming have fun! Wink

WaitingforStork · 19/04/2011 17:12

Wow lots of new faces since I went on holiday! Waves :)

Holiday was brilliant and got in plenty SWI, think DH needs another holiday to recover. Holiday was from DC8 to 15 so covered fertile period nicely and we've given it our best shot so nothing left to do but wait.

CD19 today and nothing out of the ordinary to reoprt, drove myself mad last month with loads of symptom spotting but turned out just to be proper period pains turning up after having been on the pill (had forgotten what they are really like!)

Anyway, fingers crossed for all the testing due for the next week or so x

Ooooh hello! Not being on mumsnet for a while, needed and had a bit of a break, got quite obsessed at one point. Well i am still trying now in our 5th cycle...

Not sure of my stats because i can't remember what day i came on this month, trying to relax about it now, so i have hidden all calenders in my house and dont know what day AF started last time, i think it was about a week and half ago but

Evening all just been looking at the stats is esme our next tester???

liliana I may say in one breath will be relaxed about the whole thing but the next I'm checking my dates and either telling dh off for not performing at the right time or caving in and poas before implantation could have even taken place!!!

Today I have had an excessive amount of ewcm but did have some at the right time so wondering if (tmi alert) it's left over from dtd yesterday morning where I stayed in bed for a couple of hours after Blush could I be ovulating late???? Arghh not so relaxed now :)

OP posts:
CODwidow · 19/04/2011 19:35

Id say left over most probably, but I tend to dtd at least every 3 days through the whole of my cycle that way it's always covered just in case.

EsmeWeatherwax · 19/04/2011 19:38

GMT I am indeed, bfn today but no af either, so am boogying down in limbo city...lol, spot the child of the 70's! If the witch doesn't arrive will test again tomorrow morning.

Well after all that chat of not obsessing ttc i've just caught myself searching prams on ebay!!!! Someone slap me!!

Looking forward to hearing some bfp's soon! Due to my missed AF i am still totally confused and have no idea where i am in my cycle, im trying not to start charting as i am already way too obsessed. So will just have to wait for AF to arrive and go from there and continue wondering til then (am i, aren't i.....)

Morning ladies cd21 today so at my shortest cycle 7 days until af arrives.

cod I sold my quinny all complete to my friend who brought it in case she got pregnant lol its in her loft and she hasn't used it so reckon I could buy it back from her unless I'm blessed with a dd then I'll have to go girly :)

Hi Karbea sorry you fell off Dec bus, but welcome here!
I'm feeling a bit low today - CD23 and got the same nagging cramps I always get the week before AF due so pretty sure it hasn't happened this month. And DP going away for the whole of May so next chance is June which seems ages away Sad
Good luck with testing today esme

Liliana1 · 20/04/2011 09:51

Hi and welcome karbea sorry to hear you fell of the dec bus, hope this one is lucky for you.

Feeling more positive about things today but finding myself on the verge of tears about the stupidest things - adverts, songs etc- for no apparent reason! either I am pg or AF is on her way, does seem early though even for AF, maybe its all in my head Confused

Decided to embrace the obsessing! Going to start charting if not pg this month and thinking of using ov sticks alongside.

Any news esme?

Liliana1 · 20/04/2011 09:58

Sorry your feeling down blue, you never know as pg signs are pretty similar to Af signs.

Hate having my DH working away - this month is our most likely month as I'm back at school next month and so prob won't see him when I ov so will have to wait for summer holidays before we can try properly again :(

Hands around Brew and cakes - chocolate cupcakes today x

EsmeWeatherwax · 20/04/2011 10:44

Hi all, hello Karbea and innocent welcome to the january bus!

No news here, still no af, still bfn this morning. Dunno what's going on, am usually bang on time! Not going to test again til later on tomorrow Friday! Only have one test left, lol, no way am I going to shops for more!

blue22 · 20/04/2011 10:46

Bad luck esme you're still just one day late though aren't you? Maybe levels aren't high enough yet. Fingers crossed AF stays away - how do you feel?
Thanks for the cupcakes liliana Grin

EsmeWeatherwax · 20/04/2011 10:59

Yeah, just one day, lol, getting far to excited! I'm fine, no symptoms or anything. Bit of a crampy tummy, but that's nothing unusual as have mild ibs.

MakesCakesWhenStressed · 20/04/2011 12:06

I'm all distracted today by the arrival of a new phone (still not delivered damn them!) after having had the same crummy one for 6 years! So excited!

Anyone want a mini egg chocolate nest thingy?
Wishing you all lots of happy excitedness today to match mine (babies, phones, whatever it's about!)

Louiseteacher30 · 20/04/2011 13:32

Hi ladies!
Fx Esme that you get a bfp, Im disappointed that the ovulation sticks I bought didnt show my ovulation days and Id had the other symptoms of ovulating so should have just gone for it really! Being a bit pathetic and holding off the BD for a few days so it feels like we are trying next month!
The weather is so lovely today and cant decide what to do this afternoon, hope everyone is ok and enjoying the sunshine if they can.

Louise
