Hop aboard the March 2012 bus!

[Liliana1]

Well I fell off another bus and rather than wait around for the next one I thought I would get another going myself. So have stocked it up with cake, - for the first 2 weeks and - for the 2ww'ers :)

Hoping it will be a lucky bus for lots of us - and I might have a birthday baby :)

Liliana (31) ttc#1 ucl 28 af due 26th March

(I have left out the CD as it is never up to date and all we really want to know is when are people testing!)

I am 4 days into dreaded 2ww now and have had vivid dreams and some post ov pain. Hate the 2 ww!!

8 days into the 2ww over here, no symptoms, though gradually convincing myself that no symptoms can in itself be a symptom for some people... oh dear!

Hoping that by this time next week I might know one way or another. Good luck to everyone else who's still in the dark!

Morning. 11 dpo here & not really having any symptoms so I'm most probably out for this month :( Only a few more days to wait to find out for definite though. Why does the 2ww seem to last forever?!

Morning ladies,

Just changing my AF date to account for the fact that AF came 2 days early on CD26 instead of CD28. Am going to assume that cycle is still 28 days as I think the 26 day thing was a blip.

AF ended yesterday so will get on to some SWI from tonight. Like Imustbecrazy26, I have decided to not bother with ov stick this month. Just going to do my best to swi every other day. With our house move, i may not be able to stick to this but if it doesn't happen this month, there is always next month. I am determined not to obsess as much this month because i had every symptom under the sun last month and no BFP.

I should know better because I didn't really have any symptoms with DC1 and 2 except for cramps very close to AF due date. Nausea appeared at about 6 weeks with both as did extreme tiredness. Didn't use OV sticks with either DC1 or 2 - was a lot more chilled out about it. Think I am more stressy this time because it has taken me so long to get DH to agree to having another.

Am going to try my best to remain in the land of the sane people this month.

(Famous last words methinks)

Morning all

ThisCharming and Imustbecrazy I think I am going to join you with the not obsessing pact. My cycle is a mystery at the moment anyway so there's no real point trying to pinpoint OV days - might as well go for the "as much SWI as possible" approach instead. let's just hope DH agrees (he's got to work late a lot this week so could be tricky ).

thischarmingmum......call me nosy, but how old are your other children?

Afternoon all

After being convinced that this was not going to be my month,I've found myself preoccupied with "symptoms" especially lower abdominal bloated feeling (don't even think this is listed as a sign of pregnancy but I felt this plus cramps when I didn't yet know I was pg with DS...)

So think I need to join you,thischarming,Imustbeandminiepiein the stop obsessing pact!!! Especially as this is my 1st month trying.

BTW,as this is my 1st bus,what is the stats etiquette? ie.as BFP's and BFN's/AF's occur,do the stats get changed by anyone or by them only?

why didn't my bold work???

Well ladies lets stay strong and try not to obsess this month!!!! I dont think this is a good month for me anyway am off to the docs again about my bloody ear infection it seems to be getting worse not better so will probably result in more antibiotics and swi is the last thing on my mind at the min as i am in so much pain but will kep my fingers crossed anyway!!!!

Day 9dpo for me here, and i'd like to join thischarming , Imustbe , minipie and bridgieboo in the stop obsessing pact possee. Which i'm finding very hard to do, but am starting to feel a bit pre-AF today, so not getting my hopes up high.

Was planning on waiting til Saturday to test, but can feel the x4 FR tests (bogof from Boots) burning a hole in my bathroom cabinet. But will try and be strong and last out as long as possible.

Imustbe fingers crossed all goes well at the docs, ear ache is horrible.

We could do with some more BFP's so fingers crossed for everyone

not sure why bridgieboo maybe it needs a space either side of the *. welcome to the not obsessing pact!

Though I must confess I POAS'd (an ov stick that is) at lunchtime. So not doing toooo well on the "just let it happen" front . But my theory is, if I know I'm not OVing, I can at least relax a bit till it's time...

Right well I'm not madly obsessing but too far down the ttc road with DH living away to not do some charting and just let it happen so starting a mildly obsessive pact!! Also my amazon cheapy pg tests arrived this morning and looking at me, not sure how long I will be able to resist!

Come on the BFP's!

bridgieboo feel free to update anytime!!

imustbemad, when i had earache that didnt respond to antibiotics, (the pain! i remember it so well) i found that putting a hot water bottle on my ear really helped, in fact so much that i had 2 so i was never without.

i am now 1dpo and just know i am going to spend the next 2 weeks going mad grrrrr

Hate hate hate the 2ww. Need to take up knitting or something to distract me.

Knitting is quite good fun actually - a friend gave me knitting stuff to start me off for Christmas and knitted DS a scarf (so proud of it in all of its lopsided glory! ), it was a fantastic distraction. Was hoping I could be knitting tiny baby things by now .....

Hope everyone is well, FF still insisting on CD 15 as my O day, but I am not convinced, that would put me at 9dpo today but I am still having EWCM. I have taken internet cheapy OPKs every day but none have been positive, though some darker than others about a week ago. I think I will invest in some of the smiley face ones next cycle if this isn't our month, getting very frustrated with the lines

Odd symptom for today (which may or may not be a 2ww symptom, who knows...) I have been having major hot flushes and seem to be sweating in a rather unladylike fashion, hasn't even been that warm today - distinctly autumnal. Hmm.

Well, I hopped off the bus, ran around the corner and am sneaking back on for the end of the month. I had a very short cycle this month and doc thinks I had a failed implantation. Anyway, AF is finished and it's nearly time to start swi!

Poppyjen, that CAN be a symtom, increase in blood and an onboard incubator can definately raise temp and make tou breathless.

Morning All,

Thanks MrsBullseye and stuffthenonsense went docs and ive got an ear canal infection which my doc can told me that is one of the things he wouldnt like to have . Made me feel loads better that!!!! Well now on an ear spray and painkillers and 2nd night of no sleep am absolutly exhausted. I have been using the hot waterbottle which does offer some relief for a sohrt period of timw!!! fingers crossed i am feeling slightly better by end of today need to get back on with swi as according to the ovulation calculator if my cycle stays at 38days them my most fertile days should be 24th-27th obviously i know this isnt alway the case but me wants to give it a go (i dont think this is obsessing is it)?

Hope everyone is well?

Morning All!!

I'm officially on the 2WW (although FF won't confirm this yet). Let the gusset checking, boob prodding and general obsessing commence!

me too shagging,cd 22 here,i ov'ed around last wed/thurs.
I have been very crampy today and almost convinced myself that it might be implantation !
really hope this is my month,i feel like i've been trying forever(since last dec with a mc in feb).

Afternoon All,

Nosy stuffthenonsense My DS just turned 6 and DD is 3 and a half. I feel like having another baby is like giving them a gift. As well as satiating my hormones of course!

Am guessing you think along same lines with your brood :)

Glad I am not the only one fooling myself being level headed about remaining in the land of the sane this month.

If I start talking about symptoms in any way, I would like one of you to cut and paste the following:

sllllllaaaaaap

charmingmum yes, i too think that siblings are a gift, but those DARNED hormones, i just cannot control them

2dpo today, have a headache, am so so tired, feel slightly crampy/backachey, and think my boobs are a bit tingly (although i am still breastfeeding DD4 so that could explain that one)
someone tell me i am losing it, that it is FAR TOO EARLY for any symptoms whatsoever, where was that cut and paste slap????

Too late I have already become obsessive! I am on CD25 & my cycle length is usually 26 or 27 days. I have had no symptoms other than a bit of backache & a general heavy feeling around my middle on CD22. I am pretty sure it has not happened this month but I still went & bought a pregnancy test just in case. I must try & not use it unless I am late.
I must admit I am starting to worry about the lack of BFP over the last 4 cycles as we have been timing SWI right. :(

Hey all!

I found the best way to not obsess in the 2ww is to keep very busy, only allow yourself on ttc related website once a day (thats the most, try every other day if poss!) and DO NOT BUY PG TESTS UNTIL THE DAY YOU'RE ALLOWING YOURSELF TO TEST! These steps helped me a lot.
I have OV tested this month around the time I was expecting to OV. Tested every day for the past 7. Got nothing on first 2-3 days, faint lines days 4-6 and a proper dark test line day 7 (today!) Been swi-ing thur, sat, sun and hopefully tonight!!
Determined not to obsess about symptoms and PG tests so I'm on board with the pact too!!
I'm going to try not to test til July 7th as I had 35 day cycle post mc last month! Good luck to all x
