isn't it annoying? vol.2

[Bexamundo]

So the last thread disappeared so here's the deal: I realised it's really annoying to drive yourself mad wondering if you're pg during the 2ww. Newbies welcome!

oh izzy don't torture yourself. Have you thought about acupuncture or reflexology to help get it sorted out?

Had briefly thought about reflexology, will go have a google for practitioners in my area! will stop me staring at preg test pics!

i think i might start considering one of them if we get lucky in the next couple of months. not sure which though.

I've thought about both too. Check put local unis they tend to offer it more cheaply.
Symptoms spotting on 2ww continues: boobs continue to tingle but are not significantly tender, feel tired, some reflux. Only drank 2 of my 3 ciders last night!

Hi all! Thought I'd join in with the symptom spotting.....am 7DPO, slight nausea, uncomfortable abdomen and back, sore nips, massive veiny boobs (lol!) but they aren't as tender as they normally are at this time, which is different for me.....
Very strange though - have spotted a few freckles near my nips which I swear were not there a few days ago???!! Is that a crazy symptom????

Have been having acupuncture for the last couple of months and can thoroughly recommend it - I have fairly regular cycles anyway but my temps tend to be quite crazy and zig-zaggy before and after ovulation and it seems to be helping with that. Also my OV day has changed from CD19 to CD18.

Gagging (literally ) to test but know that it's waaaay to early!!

How is everyone today?

hello fishfinger that's some good symptoms you've got there, I'm impressed.
out of curiosity how much do you pay for your acupuncture?

Hi Ninja! DH and I are both having acupuncture and we get charged 30 quid each. If I was just going on my own then it'd be 34. She's Zita West affiliated and specialises in fertility so fingers crossed it's doing some good!

Tested this morning and got a BFN :-(

Sorry to hear that izzy but aren't you only 8dpo?! It's still a bit early to consider it game over!

I'm 11dpo today, AF due today or tomorrow going in cycles when I was ttc no1. No clue about my cycles this time cos this is the first proper cycle since Nov.

My apologies then izzy. In our minds on here it ain't over til af arrives!
Welcome to kiki, being in limbo is what started this thread in the first place (though we don't leave when af arrives!). It may be af takes a little longer than expected cos the pill can do crazy things to your body.
I have been feeling rough! Off alcohol (everyone else on holidays is booting away, I'm on soft drinks), absolutely shattered (Dnephew and I gave had a nap together!). One week til testing time....

Faithbaby WOW - you have a promising list of symptoms there!! Remind me - are you ttc no 1? How long have you been ttc. In the very nicest possible way I hope you continue to feel bad and be tired and that you get that BFP next week

Izzy sorry again about that BFN - still early days though so you never know.....

I am 6dpo but not holding out much hope this month as temp nearly dropped of the bottom of the chart this morning so prob not pg.

Still, to break the depressing boredom of the 2ww we have our next appt at the NHS clinic on Friday so hopefully we might get an idea of when we can move forward a bit - although I am worried that I am placing far too much hope in IUI or IVF or whatever we end up with - I mean after all the chances are still pretty low aren't they.

Well I am clearly being full of sunshine this afternoon - sorry ladies!

Hope you're all having good weekends xx

Yes very encouraging but sadly have had similar before hence feeling a little skeptical. Ttc dc#1 this will be 19 months (yikes!) without contraception but to.be fair we didn't really try Feb-April to take the pressure off. Bfp this time would be ace as it would mean no need for Hsg or pelvic ultrasound!
How about you Lisa? What point are you at? Don't despair about one low temp, could just be a blip or even implantation at this point in time!

Faithbaby - Like you we're 19 mths ish ttc but ttc no 2. Have DS who is nearly 3. Know what you mean about having symptoms before - I reckon I've had them all at least a couple of times.

Still maybe this is our month xx

hello all, I've got a horrid stinky cold and I feel like crap. My head hurts and my nose is throbbing. Bah humbug. Better be gone by tuesday so the shagathon can begin.
Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend.

Morning all. Poor ninja, I hope you feel better soon. Plenty of fluids and paracetamol for you!
My temperature has plummeted so I think its game over this month. Gutted especially after all that swi.

i used to get very distinct mittelschmerz but haven't had it for months so no idea what's happening.

Today i've had some twinges and now have an odd ache in my lower back on the left hand side. Day 20 here and going for day 21 bloods tomorrow.

Oooo queenrollo - I have the same backache and have had it since Friday, I am now on CD27, 9DPO.
I thought it was a kidney infection or summat as it seemed to be in one specific area but the doctor couldn't find anything wrong. Is this kind of backache normal?!
Bit worried.....

it's too low for kidneys, as my practice nurse pointed out when i had a UTI. you feel kidney pain higher up.it's kind of in line with top of my hip bone.

I've had the whole run of symptoms over the last 18 months and try not to read anything into them (i fail, naturally ), but haven't had this before.

It's nothing to worry about, you get all sorts of pains with hormonal stuff. Mine are different since having DS.

Is this your first ttc or do you have little one(s) already. With my PG with DS I was totally unprepared for the constant period like pain i felt in the first few weeks and was terrified until i got to see the MW who told me it was normal.

hi all,
no one's answered the last message i left and im still confused
stomach cramps have stopped today but still feel bloated and have got an achey back.my mood is crazy too.one minute im shouting at people net im crying!due on the 17th of july so not sure if i should just ride it out or do a test.any thoughts from anyone?

hi kiki it was my first month off the pill on my last cycle.drove myself crazy with symptom spotting and did loads of tests.ended up coming on day 35.this month is different though so fingers crossed you get back to normal soon.

princess i had really extreme symptoms in the first few cycles after coming off the pill. Boobs so sore even wearing clothes was uncomfortable, feeling nauseous, cramping and the biggest mood swings in the world. The first two I experienced when PG with DS but not the crazy mood swings (that came later in the PG when hormones really got a grip!)

So many of the bodies responses to hormones are the same whether AF getting ready to show or PG, so t's very confusing and takes a while to learn to ....er....ignore. Except that glimmer of hope is hard to get rid of.

What cycle day are you? Did you get any ovulation signs?

princess i often get bloating amd stomach cramps between ov and af, but never had itchy boobs? It seems to vary from month to month so am afraid I can't be much help. There are times when the ability to see into the near future would be very handy...

queenrollo last month was my first cycle of ttc and i was symptom spotting like crazy.this month has been completely different cos i havent had time to think about it.ive been completely relaxed because of the holiday and then straight back to work so i was occupied and didnt think much of it.to be honest i didnt think we had a chance this month cos we havent been at it like rabbits everyday!
im on cd 29(last months cycle was 35d) and i noticed discharge (sorry to be so graphic) around the time the ov calculator said id be ovulating.didnt have any last month.

ninja it felt like my period was coming for a week but its completely stopped now except for the extreme tiredness,sore boobs and achey back.i was thinking last night how id love to have a crystal ball and see the future!

thank you both for answering.it helps to have other people to moan at
i dont know if its relevant but ive been having very vivid dreams too?
