Ek when I sai  what I meant was an emoticon smiley picture!

Sorry Squirrel - but good luck for next cycle.

Congrats to Westcountrywife - wonderful news.

I think I am going to wait until 12/13 dpo to do another test. Then if BFN, wait until AF shows or doesn't.

AF has just arrived. Boo hiss boo. Going to look on eBay for a fertility monitor. Feel quite sad

Grab yourself a glass of JNO18 you deserve it... sends hugs

So sorry the evil witch showed up JNO :-(

Lollopybear - hope you get some answers in the next day or so. Must be frustrating not to know what's happening. Fingers crossed for a BFP.

10 DPO today. After BFN yesterday have resisted testing and going to try to wait until Tuesday or Weds. AF due on Thurs.

Have had a go at updating the list.

Congrats to the 3 preggers. Sorry to hear about the bfns though :(

Quick hello to everyone still waiting. I'd love to know what symptoms so I can obsess even more compare and commiserate. I've got another week to go thinking about when I got a BFP last time (not till several days late), and it is dragging.

I've got tight lower back and some dull period pains and have done for nearly a week. This is not normal leading up to AF for me. I have a general loose/aching feeling in my bones which reminds me of my SPD which I had fairly badly with DC1. Or maybe I'm imagining it all!

Hi all. Am still holding out against testing. Have been a little bit nauseous over the last couple of days, but was sure I was reading too much into that and trying not to obsess.

But this afternoon I had a bit of spotting (implantation bleeding??) and now I'm deffo feeling slightly sick. Could it be???? Argh.

Won't be able to test till Weds night as I'm away with work till then. But at least that gives me a couple more days for hcg levels to rise. Fingers crossed!!!

Hope you're all doing ok. Sorry for bfns out there xxx

Hello all, I hope I am ok to join in. Me and DH started trying on our honeymoon and just back home 2 days ago. We didn't think anything would happen as I was pretty sure it wasn't the right time for me to get pregnant but we thought we may as well start practising I was still on the pill but also on an antibiotic.

Now awaiting AF, I am like clockwork normally and should have it today. I have abdominal pains and I am lethargic. On honeymoon we were watching tv and I started crying because there was an animal that was SO cute on a show. Can't remember what it was, a possum or something. I NEVER cry like that. (I'm emotional person at times but not for no reason usually!) Figured probably too early to be a pregnancy symptom.

I feel like AF is about to show her face, feels impending. Slightly bloated in my abdomen and constant but slight pain.

Holding onto the hope that it could be pregnancy but it would be so unlikely especially since we only started trying the other week.

Testing tomorrow I think!

Also, good luck to all :)

Well just as I post, a few hours later AF arrives, typical! Ah well, didn't think it would happen this fast anyway :)

Good luck to all those still waiting!!

Sorry Ratata.

LB - Sorry you are still in limbo. Bless your DH re testing.

I am the same - I just want to know now and be put out of my misery! I am no good at this waiting business. Have a stinking cold as of yesterday too so feeling rather fed up and tired - sleeping has gone to the dogs during this 2WW and now with the cold.

12 DPO tomorrow and think I am going to test with FMU.

Hey all. So I caved this morning and tested. And got a bfn. Not a surprise at only 10dpo but I've been feeling really nauseous - all day long. So hope is not yet lost. Keeping everything crossed!!

Oh, and I've been starving hungry all day. A symptom, or just greed?! I can't be sure ;-).

It's a BFP ladies!!! Tested last night as needed to go at about 11 and had one £1 test left. At first I thought it was -ve and was about to put the test in the bin when I started squinting at it and thought I could see something. Went to show it to DH and he agreed there was the faintest of faint lines!

Really struggled to sleep after that, but managed a few hours and retested at 5 am with FMU and a FR and got a definite line! Very happy but all feels a bit surreal still.

Good luck to everyone still waiting xx

Congratulations cosmo thats great news!!

Cosmo - a big massive congratulations!!! How fantastic! Thrilled for you

No do tell did you have any (actually for real) 2ww symptoms looking back? I think you were just ahead of me in this ttc cycle so...I'm anxious to compare notes!

Congratulations Cosmo!!!

Thanks everyone.

Sedgie FWIW here are my 'symptoms' - there were quite a few! Hope it's of interest.

2 DPO - very bloated tummy - looked about 5 months gone!
2-4 - some niggles in groin, few stabbing pains in fanjo area!
Trouble sleeping and waking several times a night for loo and finding it hard to get back to sleep.
More vivid dreams - due to the night waking I think.
Itchy face, head and on one occasion an itchy nipple.
Some heartburn around 6 dpo (very unusual for me)
Back ache around 6-11 dpo (very unusual for me)
Cold hands and feet but warm tummy and boobs
Increased appetite
Caught a cold at 11 DPO - not sure if related to pregnancy (immunity low?)
High, hard cervix with watery wet CM from 1-4 DPO, which then went to creamy CM, then dry.

Much luck to everyone waiting to test x
