I am at the start of the 2WW and planning to test around the 11th August. This is my first proper month trying to concieve following a MMC in April. I am already so nervous/excited and just wish I could fast forward!!!!! Anyone else at the start of their 2WW? Hoping for lots of BFPs!! xx

Figaro by dates i should be 11dpo but as i say I've been under a lot of stress so this cycle could be well messed up.

havealittlefaithbaby · 07/08/2011 14:46

And even at 11dpo only about half pregnant women see a positive test, you're definitely not out the running dragon.

Yep I agree with havealittlefaith. Don't give up hope just yet.

starting to get cramping pains, bit like the pre period pains you get

havealittlefaithbaby · 07/08/2011 20:36

Me too and that can be pre-af but also lots of women have that when they are first pregnant...

montymum · 07/08/2011 22:25

cramps this evening too. Is this a positive sign??

havealittlefaithbaby · 07/08/2011 22:27

Yes, definitely! We are preggo..

carriedababi · 07/08/2011 22:50

oh mine have stopped now! how weird

how funny we are all getting the cramps!

MumptyDumpty · 08/08/2011 00:10

Evening all, hope we are all ok.

Sorry to those of you that tested today and got BFN, but you are very naughty for testing LoL I am sure that you will get the BFP next time you test ....it's not over until the fat lady sings. (MD Whispers very quietly that the only reason I haven't tested is because i have no tests Wink)

Carried sympathise with you, my DD fell on the park and chipped her front teeth when she was 4, I cried for ages . Luckily they didn't effect her adult teeth which have grown fine. To me it was a huge deal, but tbh no one noticed until I pointed it out. Although now she has her forever teeth my nerves go whenever I see her running or climbing Grin

I have had cramps today also although feel like Af due date / testing day is ages away! I hope they are a good sign.
Not that I am reading into absolutly everything....I am really! I craved a maccy D's cheese burger today.... I don't eat maccy D's normally and Im not a great fan of cheese either...surely to early for craving though, and if I am preggo could be very bad for the waist line LoL xxx

carriedababi · 08/08/2011 09:22

morning everyone, thanks for the understanding mumpty, just hoping it doesn't go any darker as if it stays as it is i don't think anyone will really notice. i thinnk i went into a minni melt down over it all over the weekend
just called the dentist and they are going to see if they can squeeze her in, and call me back, so sitting here waiting for a call.
really hope they can see her today
feel alot calmer today
but i know what you mean, im not so paranoid about her hitting her mouth, when her dad is tickling her etc i sit there cringing thiking please please don't bang it again.
as im scared it will turn black or fall out.
the denistis receptionist told me its really really common and they see it all the time.
what do you think the best thing i can do would be? perhaps it would be best if i didn't point it out to family and friends, as i don;t want her to feel self consious about it.

so anyway got af type craps again today, don't know if i can wait till friday to retest, so was thinking about retesting on wed,with a first response, if im in a more calm stale sense of mind afterall this dentist fisaco!

when is everyone else testiing?

carriedababi · 08/08/2011 09:26

also when i woke up this am i felt so shattered, so teh cramps, tiredness, emotional meltdown, does make me wonder if something is going on down there!

Hopefully its a good sign for you Carried!!! Also hope the cramps everyone else is getting is a good sign!

I am waiting for my AF to turn up now. I still have cramping which I have had for over a week now. I am also slightly spotting still (nothing like what I have had over the past few days). I have no other pregnancy symptoms. When I was pregnant before I had tender boobs about 5 days before AF was due and there is nothing like that. I also have a big spot on my face!!! I normally gets spots before my AF arrives, but I didn't get any when I was pregnant before. I will test if its not here by Friday, but I can tell its coming :(. Fingers crossed for everyone else this month!

carriedababi · 08/08/2011 14:47

fiagaro do you find it more dissapointing to get a bfn than to wait for your af to come along?

how long has everyone on this thread been trying for?

Figaro82 · 08/08/2011 16:13

Hi find its disappointing when I get a BFN a few days before my AF arrives, so the longer I leave it the less time there is to drag the disappointment out!!! Hate knowing its not going to happen and then having to wait for my AF to turn up!

I orginally started trying in January, fell pregnant in Feb and then lost the baby in April. Been trying since then.

havealittlefaithbaby · 08/08/2011 18:41

been trying for 19 (!!) months! Currently udnergoing investigations - I've had hsg ouch and fanny cam. DH had some bloods and initial SA, having repeats of both of those because they weren't within normal ranges (trying to establish if they were blips or real presentation of a problem). I try really hard not to test early...wasted so much money blitzing through tests. Went a bit insane. I'm trying to wait now until after af is due (which according to futility fiend FF is Wednesday). How hard is it to decide when af is due when your cycles are irregular?!

MumptyDumpty · 08/08/2011 18:46

I'm with you Figaro with the testing, getting a BFN and then getting AF leaves you feeling really crap.

Carried did you manage to get and appointment with the dentist?

Well I'm feeling totally crap today, have saw boobs, a migraine and lower back cramp which normally mean AF is on it's way. I'm not sure what's pissing me off more the fact that I have been feeling so positive, for what looks like no reason.... Or that AF going to show up early!

Re: TTC I had 2 MC two years ago, one after the other (6+4 & 8 weeks) after that we decided to just see what happened DP took a new job which meant he was away alot. So this is really our first month TTC properly, although havn't been preventing it for 2 years plus. I

Hope everyone is ok x

MumptyDumpty · 08/08/2011 18:50

Ooops meant sore boobs not saw obviously, not seeing boobs eveywhere! Not gone that mad......yet!

havealittlefaithbaby · 08/08/2011 20:48

that made me laugh!!

carriedababi · 08/08/2011 21:50

figaro i am so sorry for your loss.

i see your point about not testing early, but i think i perfer to know its not happned, in a put my myself out of my misery type way iyswim.

mumpty i am sorry for you loss too.
hope this is a lucky month for us all, you certainly have some positive signs

they couldnt squuuze us in today, but thye have manage to squeeze us in for tomoorow lunch time, really really hope they don't say its infected and needs to be removed.
i do feel alot calmer today and i think i'll feel calmer tomorrow after seeing the dentist, aslong as he says all looks ok, and won't need to be removed, in my dreams he will say, it may lighten back up, or it won;t get any worse, in my nightmare he wil say the tooth needs removing
just want tomorrow over with so i know what im dealing with iyswim

havealittlefaith, i don't know how you have coped with trying for 19months, i think i would really really struggle to cope, i don't think i'm very mentally strong at times, really hope it happens for you this month

i'm having a fluttering tyoe sensation uncer my left rib cage, which i know it would be far far too early to feel anything, its just a strange sensation
ive tried poas on an ovulation test as i've heardthey can sometimes show up pg too.
theres either no line or the worlds faintest line, i can't really tell.
perhaps i'll go and pee on anther before bed.
i'm only going to take a pg test on wed or fri if i feel a bit more stable after this weekends tramas
i know i am pathetic esp compared to what others have to go through but don't feel i can handle knowing right move iyswim,
althpugh hopefully tomorrow will go well and i'll feel better about dds tooth.

havealittlefaithbaby · 09/08/2011 06:17

My temp has dropped. I'll be expecting af in next 24 hours or so. Tbh carried I dunno how we carry on. We're Christians so we just keep praying and have to assume it's not God's timing yet. Not easy though :(

montymum · 09/08/2011 07:07

I'm out af started last night. Will keep my fingers crossed for the rest of you.
