NOW BOARDING!

I'm due AF 11/1/12 so out of time for the previous bus so thought I'd start a new one! Well a space shuttle (why not!!!).

So I'll start:

ahhhhhpushit TTC#2 AF due 11/1

I'm currently on cd 15 so have been SWI like mad this week :)

Thougth I'd just check in and say hello from the back of the bus!

Congrats ahhhhhhpushit!

I've been doing the OPK tests to make sure my fertile time is in line with my app on my phone - OV is expected on the 19th so will be SWI from this weekend (although we have friends staying! Friend is pg and is bringing baby dust!)!!!

It feels like forever waiting but have also been enjoying being in our own little ttc club and having SFF. We've not been this loved up for a while through life getting in the way and it's nice to forget the world....

IF this is our month, we are going to see Snow Patrol on the 3rd Feb which is the day after AF is due..... If she's not arrived then I'll do a test and will really make the evening x

Love to all x x

For those with no symtoms, with my first I had none whatsoever, was not trying so didn't to test until gone 7 weeks - I had period type cramps and kept thinking AF was coming and of course she didn't!!

With second I knew straight away, boobs really hurt and nice BFP on stick!!!

Just goes to show you never know!!!!

cakeladyc · 11/01/2012 11:25

I did promise myself i wouldnt pop on here until i'd tested at the end of the week, but the temptation is just too much!

An quick update from me as i'm at work...
Still no sign of AF, now 4 days late. I seem to be getting dull aches almost all the time, it feels a bit like period pain, but not as bad. Boobs are really sore and i'm feeling sick and tired.
When i was trying to get to sleep last night, i was lying on one side and i got a shooting pain, and then if i tried to lie on the other side, it really ached... that was a bit weird.

Still got a couple of days before i test... i think i'm going to be a nervous wreck by then!

DelphineDonkeygoesDoolally · 11/01/2012 12:23

Sounds promising cakelady, good luck!

Piggyboo, that's rubbish I hope you're ok...

Any news about MadMonkey? Is it or is it not a BFP??

I feel bloated - looked like I was 3 months pregnant like night. There's some boobage action too, which is quite weird since they never hurt, even before AF. I think I ovulated on Monday and we SWI on Saturday - is it too early to have symptoms? I fear it may just be my brain playing tricks on me.

Crossing fingers for everyone testing soon!!

I feel great! No symptoms really but then again I had a similar thing with DS1. Didn't know I was pregnant until 8 weeks as ran two pill packs together and had no symptoms!

Had a little peek at double buggies today arrghhh!!

cake I honestly can't believe your willpower!!

I'm so stopping at superdrug on my way home (haven't bought lunch all week so the tests are free again!)

Symptoms have all gone except for uncomfortable lenses Hmm and nipples so I think it's just time to wait for AF to just get it over with and put me out of my misery. If it's a BFN on Saturday, I'm eating blue cheese for breakfast then having a few Wine as soon as the clock says it's pm! And a big bag of chips. Silver lining and all that...

PrimalChic · 11/01/2012 16:42

PS has anyone else lost weight through not drinking on the 2ww? I've been off the booze since NYE and I've lost 4lb and counting! That's rather embarrassing isnt it, drinking 4lb of wine a fortnight! Blush

Chunkychicken · 11/01/2012 17:55

I've just lost 2kg (about 2lb I think) on the vomiting bug diet... but I wouldn't recommend that!! ;-)

Chunkychicken · 11/01/2012 17:59

In all seriousness PrimalChic in the month or 2 before my wedding, I cut out the 'extras' like beer, crisps, choc, but didn't diet at all & lost a few pound (prob about half a stone in total, & I'm about a size 10-12, so not got a huge amount to lose, if you see what I mean) so I would say the "pre-conception" diet is probably a good way to slim.

oikopolis · 11/01/2012 18:33

2kg is about 4lbs Chunky! You poor thing, that's a lot. I had a bug over Xmas (I know, fab isn't it) and had the same thing, urgh.

Broke down and tested again (11DPO)... bfn... obviously! MUST STOP.

PrimalChic · 11/01/2012 19:02

chunkychicken gave up bread for my wedding for a few weeks and dropped a dress size too! Hmm at least when the early bump and bloating starts, people will hopefully think we've just put the weight back on!

oikipolis if I had any early tests I'd be right there with you. Waiting for DH to go out before I try the boots cheapie. I've come to feel that my day isn't complete until I've POAS! :)

Chunkychicken · 11/01/2012 19:21

LOL PrimalChic

And thanks oiko I knew that really, must be the starvation affecting my brain!! I think we're on the shame 'schedule' so relying on you to tell me when the best time to test would be - if u get AF/BFP then I can POAS with certainty of an accurate result...Wink

No tests being purchased until the weekend in this house for absolute 100% maybe certain Grin

howiwonder · 11/01/2012 19:36

PrimalChic I ave lost 4lbs too and put it down to the lack of booze! but I suppose theres also just the general return to normality after xmas too.

Think I will test in the morning, still a bit early at approx 11dpo. Anyway, I have decided that I'm most likely not pregnant anyway, there really wasn't as much SWI as there should have been. Am trying to tell myself this so i can forget being up the duff this month and act like a normal person again - yeah thats gonna work....

ConfusedMumDotCom · 11/01/2012 22:32

Hi! Can I jump aboard this bus?

I am trying for number 2, my stats are (I think) TTC2 cycle 1 AF due 25 Jan. I'm typing on my phone, so would really appreciate it if someone could add me to the list. Am not too hopeful as I'm not sure we've been SWI enough, but fingers crossed.

FreddieMercurysBolero · 12/01/2012 00:12

So, that period or whatever it was decided to only last three days...Mine are generally 7-9 days. Feeling crampy and sick ever since, so thinking it could have been an implantation bleed. Tested this morning and BFN. Ho hum...

I shall wait another week and see.

FreddieMercurysBolero · 12/01/2012 00:17

ChairOfTheBored · 12/01/2012 07:07

hesitantly steps on Board

Hi

We're TTC number one. First cycle, AF due 25 Jan. Not sure we've been at it nearly enough, and still getting the hang of having to think about timings rather than be 'spontaneous', but we'll keep trying till we get it right! Grin

PrimalChic · 12/01/2012 11:02

Another BFN, little sign of AF but my back hurts like hell andi sobbed all the way through One Born Every Minute last night!

freddie this is sounding really promising! Any other symptoms? You could try a really sensitive test like FR maybe?

Welcome chair!

MadMonkeys · 12/01/2012 11:49

BFP! I tried some of the Ebay tests yesterday, and I wouldn't bother with them again - the lines were so incredibly feint for me, I honestly couldn't tell one way or the other. So I got some of Sainsbury's tests this morning and tested as soon as I got home. Even though it wasn't the first wee of the day there was definitely a line. Still feint, but clearly there. Arrgghhh, looks like I am pregnant!! I'm happy but scared too - didn't enjoy the birth much last time, but I'll hopefully know what I'm doing this time (all being well), and that's a long way off. Plenty to worry about in the meanwhile!

Freddie - it's so annoying isn't it when you think there's something going on but the tests come up negative. I've been having very mild cramping and a heavy sort of feeling for a few days and it's only today that the test has been positive, so it could just be that there isn't quite enough HCG to show up on your test yet.

DelphineDonkeygoesDoolally · 12/01/2012 12:07

Wow! Congrats MadMonkey! Very pleased for you! x

Winnie81 · 12/01/2012 13:17

Congrats madmonkey!!!

Chunkychicken · 12/01/2012 13:26

Congrats MadMonkey that's great news!! Another lucky lady, this is a very lucky shuttle.

Fingers crossed my moodiness & nausea is pregnancy & not PMT/the norovirus still hanging around. Feel a trip to Sainsburys coming on myself...Wink

cakeladyc · 12/01/2012 14:18

Congrats MadMonkey !!

no update from me, AF still hasnt arrived, all shooting pains/cramps/dull aches have gone but boobs still hurt and now my hair is really greasy, normally can go a day or so without washing it, and seem to be getting more CM too, so i dont know if thats normal for early pregnancy or if AF is getting a move on!

howiwonder · 12/01/2012 14:28

Congratulations MadMonkey!! xx
