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!

Izzy how are you doing? Any sign of AF or a BFP yet? xx

havealittlefaithbaby · 17/07/2011 14:08

Congratulations princess! sounds like it really is a positive! :)

izzybizzybuzzybees · 17/07/2011 16:54

Boo no sign of either! I had tested on at but haven't tested again. I'm now 19 dpo! I'm going to try get drs appointment for tues, I'm on call tomorrow night so I finish at 9am tues.morning :( x

NinjaChipmunk · 18/07/2011 15:47

sorry to hear that izzy hope you get your docs appointment sorted.

havealittlefaithbaby · 18/07/2011 21:19

How are we ladies? I'm just gearing up for my Hsg and pelvic ultrasound in Wednesday (still spotting so just hoping that stops overnight). DH has decided this is the month! Af due just before my birthday (and I'm 30!) So he's decided he's going to give me the best birthday present ever!

Biscuitsandtea · 19/07/2011 13:32

Have what a great present that would be - and well deserved.

I am finding this the LONGEST 2ww ever. Still only 9dpo so probably another whole week to go before AF comes to visit - I really wish she would double book me with her holiday or something and not bother coming this time Sad

In theory she could turn up any time from tomorrow as that would be CD28.

In other news, I have a sore ankle - is that by any chance a pg symptom? Surely......

izzybizzybuzzybees · 19/07/2011 14:27

Hi all, had the drs today. She reckons i have polycystic ovaries but said that we need to be ttc 18 months before they will do anything Sad

She did however order a bunch of blood tests to check everything from thryoid function to rubhella status! Getting these done on friday. She said if they dont show anything then she will see me january for a referral.

havealittlefaithbaby · 19/07/2011 17:09

Hmm that sounds a bit...long izzy. Remind me how long you've been ttc? Has it been a year?
If you do have pcos the bloods may or may not show something but only a pelvic ultrasound will do for sure. I found charting helpful when I reached a year ttc because my bloods weren't convincing to show I was ovulating. Ironically I didn't see regulations ovulating pattern and took my charts to my GP. This was enough to prompt him to refer me. After a couple more months I do see ovulation now!

izzybizzybuzzybees · 19/07/2011 18:04

We've been trying a year now, I assumed that we would be referred before next year but guess now Sad

havealittlefaithbaby · 19/07/2011 18:11

They usually start bloods at a year. Ky GP did my progesterone 3 times to get an accurate picture (ie over 3 cycles). I went back in May (so 17 months ttc) and then got referred. Do bear in mind 80% of couples conceive within 1 year and 90% within 18 months. After 18 months they drop the ? From the subfertility label.

NinjaChipmunk · 19/07/2011 22:31

good luck for tomorrow !

havealittlefaithbaby · 20/07/2011 10:49

Thanks ninja! Well I'm back. It was very comfortable, apparently because my cervix is small. The radiologist had a push it in more than for most so I'm spotting now. Everything looks fine apparently, no pco, no blockages. DH is very worried that its all his fault. I'm saying positive. This will be the month! Ironic going for these tests for no reason and my.bfp for my birthday. :)

Biscuitsandtea · 20/07/2011 11:04

Glad it is done Have. Fingers crossed for a big dose of irony re the unnecessary tests and a lovely birthday BFP.

princessamz · 21/07/2011 09:07

hey everybody,
how are you all?
well i had confirmation of the bfp on monday from the doctor and have my first midwife app next week.still all feels very surreal.
thank you to you all for your support over the past 2months and i wish you all luck on your journeys xxxxxxxxxxx

NinjaChipmunk · 21/07/2011 09:19

good for you princess I wish you good luck and good health for the rest of your pregnancy and beyond. Is this your first?

Biscuitsandtea · 21/07/2011 09:20

Congrats Princess xx

queenrollo · 21/07/2011 18:57

Congrats Princess, how lovely to come back from holiday to such lovely news Smile

Holiday was um - ok. DS behaviour really not good, just don't know what's got into him lately.

I'm trying so hard not to get my hopes up here girls, but my nipples are sore - really, really sore. Not felt this bad since I was pg with DS, but i've had the tender boobies before and AF still came so I'm trying not to get too excited because i'll feel crushed when Af arrives....

NinjaChipmunk · 21/07/2011 23:40

Hello rollo sorry to hear about your son. What has he been doing? Do you think its a phase or could he be worried about something?
Liking the symptoms. Sore boobs is a good sign.
Not much to report here, just a random vivid dream about musical instruments needing to be sorted and tidied! Who knows what that was about?

queenrollo · 22/07/2011 09:11

ninja just the general selfishness they tend to display - you know, fine when they're doing what they want to but awful when they have to break from that to do what we want to.
Though as an example - he blamed me for the rain that meant we had to leave the beach Grin

He also directly disobeyed an order, three minutes after it was given. And it was important too, not just a 'don't touch those biscuits' kind of order. I got very, very cross with him.

He is lonely, he told me that directly. He's noticing that other people have siblings to play with. I can't do anything about it. I do try to socialise him as much as poss, but everyone else with kids is so damn busy all the time Sad

AF due Sunday, I woke at 6am and couldn't sleep so stupidly did a test and of course BFN. Increasingly this whole thing is starting to affect me daily now, I can feel myself starting to become depressed and that's usually a winter thing for me. Being a mum is all I've ever really wanted to do, and suddenly it seems a very real possibility that my part-time parenting of DS will be my lot and it's like having the rug pulled from under me. If i can't have another child what the effing hell am I going to do with my life? I feel like i'm floundering - there is nothing else I have any desire to fill my days with. And even the things I did enjoy hold no pleasure for me any more Sad
Sorry to offload, I have no-one else who I can be honest with about how i feel. I'm tired of the NHS waiting game, and that will only get worse. I think that i'm getting very, very close to stepping away from the TTC completely and having some counselling because this is all having such a negative effect on my life.

Biscuitsandtea · 22/07/2011 09:19

queen I think I know a little bit how you feel. We have DS and I like you just wanted to be a mum. I also feel like I'm floundering - as if I am half way through a mission and I can't complete it.

DS is also being 'testing' and I feel bad for not giving him a sibling. I also feel a bit depressed and had been thinking about counselling. I feel like I am being short tempered with DS because I'm stressed about ttc and that makes him okay up more. He just won't do anything at all on his own at the moment and then I get snappy with him because I can't get anything done.

It's all horrible and has taken over my life Sad

Just wanted to say that I really wanted to give you a hug queen xxx

Biscuitsandtea · 22/07/2011 09:24

Play not okay - autocorrect.

Example of being I'n my way - insists I'n staying to watch mr go to the toilet (can't complain as not potty trained yet) and then trying to pull my knickers up while I'm still wiping (and obv trying to carry out knicker check 1848472738482).

Just give me some space!!!!

Biscuitsandtea · 22/07/2011 09:25

You can correct the wrong autocorrects yourself with that one. My phone is convinced I'n is a word.....

queenrollo · 22/07/2011 10:01

oh biscuits have an unmnetty ((hug)) back.

It is so hard when they want you to play with them all day. Because DS is only here 4 days a week I try very hard to make sure I have no committments/housework etc those days so I can give him attention, but it's not good for him to have our attention constantly. He has to learn to play by himself too, and that we have some jobs which need to be done.

DS is nearly 6 and still follows me to the toilet - in fact, all round the house 'because I love you mummy and want to be with you ALL the time' which is endearing and beautiful but also damn suffocating.

havealittlefaithbaby · 22/07/2011 16:58

Oh bless you both :( it's so tough isn't it? I'm feeling crappy today as well. GP suspects uti (not massively surprised after the trauma I've had in the fanjo area in last few days!) But I'm in pain, feel rough and so frustrated especially since I'm seeing ewcm and there's no way he's coming near me while I

But I'm in pain, feel rough and so frustrated especially since I'm seeing ewcm and there's no way he's coming near me while I feel like this. Just hoping body decides to delay ovulation til I'm feeling better! Anyway move GP said 'maybe this will be the month' and I started crying but I'm so desparing at the prospect of missing fertile.window :( oh dear.
