Who is joining me on the hideous 2ww?

[LauraM20]

Hey All!
Im currently on CD 20 so around 8-10 days until the AF arrives or I can test :D Just thought there may be some others that are waiting and driving themselves crazy! Thought we could hopefully share our BFP within the next few weeks, and keep each other sane! :D

Ah cakes I'm pleased I'm not the only one who has poas ridiculously early! When are you going to test again? I'm trying to hold out until Wednesday now but not feeling hopeful at all. No symptoms whatsoever and am worried that dh went abroad when I was ov after all and we missed it completely :(

Please could someone add me to the stats list? Stupid iPod won't cut and paste.

Ellesabe - TTC#2, 1st cycle, AF due 31/1 (but could be much later as my cycles are weird!)

Stats List - Please cut,paste and update!!!PLACE IN AF DUE DATE ORDER!

BIGFATPOSITIVE- YEHHHHH BABY!

Have added myself on the stats list.

Feeling so glum today, friend had baby girl last night, other friend being induced on Thursday and Baby shower to go to on Saturday- Yep, seems everyone around me is pregnant but me! Off too work to keep me busy today!

Betty hope you are feeling better today :)

How is everyone feeling today? I feel nothing, no symptoms or anything so not got much faith in this month.

Dh 21. I'm going to havw that not taking no for an answer approach next month!

Bb. After he said no, said he would rather in the morning, I explained that this week is my week and showed him the app on my phone and showed trendy yesterday was marked as having the highest odds.. Still nothing. And then he totally skunk out of the house this morning for work and I didn't get my swi. So Ii think Ii made it worse.

So to answer, I'm feeling pretty low today. Had a bit of a cry when dh left this am. Now I'm going to spend the next two weeks waiting and worrying that we missed the day once again!

Came onto mn right away for support! :(

Oh Beeblebear, hope you're ok (((hugs))) Maybe he's just feeling the pressure. I think with men, it's so much harder - it's not their bodies and by the time women are ready, they are super ready. Whereas men can seem like they're blowing hot and cold - last month, DH even said we should use protection a couple of times! WTF?! But I guess it's just....scary for them too.

When was the last time you DTD? As someone else said, I think it's OK to have....stuff....ready and waiting a couple of days before :) Hope you're OK, petal.

I'm feeling better today. Restored my faith in humans, donated a lot of money I don't have to orangutan conservation, and chatted to DH about everything.

I've been PO OV sticks these last few days, knowing I'm not ovulating, but wanting to see what a "negative" looks like. Every time it's been super, super, super faint lines (expected). Today - I wouldn't say it is equal to or darker than the control line but it's a helluva lot darker than the days preceding. My understanding is that if the test line is equal to or darker than the control line, you need to DTD within the next 24-36 hours. Today's test line is maybe one shade lighter.

This is working out a lot better than the haphazard calendar counting of last month. Going by CM, I'd say it's not quite OV time just yet...but it might be sooner than I thought (precisely because last month threw me off so much!). DH wants to DTD every day up to his fight and has even shown me research about how it will help his testosterone levels!

((((Laura)))) Don't lose heart, lovely....all those people, they don't mean you're going to have a baby any less - as hard as it is to see them with exactly what you want. There's no quota, no limit. Be nice to yourself, yes? I wouldn't bother trying to stop yourself from feeling these thing, it is what it is. You are only human and to not feel these things would be a little strange.

We're cycle buddies...I really am getting on well with the OV sticks. I'm happy to PM where I got them from and they deliver very quickly, and because they're so small they fit in an envelope. 20 for £2.50!

Yeah I agree men tend to feel under pressure if they think they have to perform as and when.

I seem to be getting quite alot of discharge atm, again this can be a sign or AF or preg so still no def answer! Come on tues!

Wow it seem a lot of us here have no clue what is going on with our cycle or when the stupid AF hag will try to turn up!!!!!! being a day or so is not bad but a bigger gap of 3 days would not be fun in terms of waiting like 2ww aint long enough!

I'm trying to stay positive because HOPE is all i have right now and the thoughts of me not yet ov-ing as i have not had the pains yet! but doing the guessing work aint the best way as it has not worked out for me as yet!!!!

oh BBear - i do hope that you can find a good medium with your DH and that he understands how hard this is all for you and i guess for him, and it is a lot of pressure but maybe make out a timetable and get in before, during and 1 for luck after!!!! also wasn't sure what you meant by a non ttc stats list are we not all looking for the golden BFP!!!!!!

few weeks back i was wondering what the hell am i doing for me wanting another baby was feeling like i was being selfish as the more kids i have the more stretched what we already have will be! if only i could get the BFP then win the lottery that would be wonderful!!!!!!

Argh, DH just asked me when I'll be testing. I said not til next weekend (to give AF plenty of time to arrive) and then I told him I'd been hiding the crazy from him for the past week, but secretly obsessing constantly. I have really barely mentioned it to him for a week, and his response was, 'You've been hiding the crazy?' If only he knew how much worse I'd have been if I'd articulated all my thoughts...!

Thats what good old mn is for! So our long sufferings dhs don't have to put up with it

I can't believe I'll (hopefully) be testing in 3/4 days, the wait is nearly over and im actually feeling a bit scared.
Scared of a BFN but also scared/ excited at the prospect of another dc!

I have a confession. I ended up going out swith my mom for a little shopping therapy. Found some new jeans that I love.they are flared (which are so hard to find among all rhe skinny jeans these days) they were only $17 so I bought two. Got to the till and discovered that they were on sale for $5!

My confession is that I went back and got a third pair a size bigger in case I get preg soon and will need bigger pants. so much for taking my mind off things.

Congratulation ladies on those bfp's, hope you're keeping well :)

Hey ladies, just dropping by to see how everyone is getting on :)

I'm not in the TWW anymore as AF showed up yesterday - making it a 26 day cycle so my average is still 27. At least I wasn't waiting around getting my hopes up and I didn't waste any tests this month! I am nothing like as fed up as I was last month although obviously disappointed not feeling as desperate.

Trying the fertility monitor this month so will see how that goes.

Lots of luck to those still in the TWW, hope you get your BFP :)

I hate this wait.due sat/sun.so symptom spotting.
not pain exactly but a bit of tummy ache, and top of legs were really aching yesterday?
Need to stop thinking about it.
Looking to start ivf after holiday next month.

Hello ladies.

The faintest of faint crampy AF pains this morning so sadly not holding out hope thus month . I was holding onto the hope that despite no preg symptoms there were at least no AF ones...

Will definitely hold out to only test on wed if no AF now.

Dh21 I hope your lack of any symptoms means pregnant for you. I didn't have any symptoms 1st time round until a few days after bfp.

Ellesabe, how are you holding up? Sorry I'm on phone so can't add you to the stats.

Argh, can't wait, only!! another 8 days til I can test, but I'm sure I won't be able to stop myself testing before then!

TTC#1, MC December 2007and May 2009, have been given stuff to stop MC's supposedly happenning now, as was hormone deficient, but thats all well and good when we can't even diff up!!

Shout out to all you ladies waiting to POAS

Loads of babydust and I wish BFP's for you all.

Hello Ladies, mind if I join you? :)

I am on 2ww and hoping against hope feeling its my lucky month. My preggers friend visited me so I had lucky rubs from her bump.... also think I pounced on dh at right time... which might have more to do with it.

At risk of being presumptuous...I've added myself to your list, but can slope off again if you're happy with your group as is.

Congrats to all with their BFP - hope all is and will go well.
I haven't gone down the ov sticks route yet cos I know it'd take me over. Just sticking to calendar and body symptoms... for now.

Last night I was having a really sharp pain where my ovary is which I've never had before (except at AF time which is miles off yet). Started to convince myself I was ectopic - but its gone this morning... odd. ho hum.

cakesareyummy that sucks :( But - and I really don't want to raise hopes - you just really never know until AF arrives. It's not over until the annoying lady comes!

I had intense dreams last night, intense baby dreams with lots of detailed medical things in them - set upon a hillside village somewhere in South Asia (I'd watched a martial arts film before going to bed - hahaha!). In my dream, I suddenly said to someone that I was going to be sick. I woke up physically gagging, still in a half dream state, and rushed to the loo. But as I rushed to get to the toilet, I was thinking - this is strange, it can't even begin to be anything pregnancy related because you're not even in the 2WW properly yet!

Nothing really happened though - no vomiting, no retching, nothing. It was weird.

cakes keeping my fingers crossed for you. Hope the crampy pains are not AF on the way. I didn't have any preg symptoms at all the first time round. If it wasn't for the BFP I wouldnt have believed it til the scan!

snowbeetle of course you can join us. Hoping this is your month too.

pippi sorry to hear about your MCs :( sending good luck vibes your way.

I feel periody now :(

Booooo Desperate. Blimmin not fair. (hugs)

Welcome snowbeetle fingers crossed that this is your month

DH21 don't give up hope until AF arrives, you never know

Well, I'm finally one week into the TWW. Went round to drop a birthday present to my friend yesterday, to be greeted with her 12 week scan...I'm so thrilled for her, but I tried to hold it together and ended up blubbing in her front room. None of my friends know I had a mc in Nov (although she may suspect now) but since then I find it especially hard to look at scan pictures. I always imagined seeing your first dc on your first scan and it being amazing, but mine was completely the opposite and I'll never get that first scan moment back

Anyway, dp was absolutely brilliant, and just let me cry my heart out in bed last night. I have such mixed feelings about POAS this month, if by any slim chance I get a BFP I'm going to be so worried that it'll be a repeat of last time, and if its BFN I'll be back to thinking it's never going to happen for us...

Ok, needed to get all of that out. Sorry for the me, me, me. You guys are a godsend!

Anyone else watching the tennis?

Thanks MissLAL - great name by the way. :)

I feel for you - I imagine it's like the world has tilted on its axis where your ability to embrace the joyful news can never be without a tinge of worry/sadness from what went before.

I truly hope you get a BFP and it all goes well so you can begin to put it behind you. I admire anyone who copes with a MC/s, it's a strength no-one should ever have to find, and hope happiness follows.

Sounds like you're in safe hands with your dp. You'll be great parents.

p.s I'm not watching tennis as I'm supposed to be working! Ha!
