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

to read all the BFN!! Don't give up hope though ladies...mother nature might just be toying with you. Keep us posted.

poor bettybat you are having a right old time of it just now. Were work OK after your dramatic exit?

I hope you have someone giving you loves. :)

Really thought AF would be here but still nothing. I don't think I'll test tomo, if no AF by fri I'll test again then.

speculation sorry about your bfn :( keeping fingers crossed for us all in limbo.

Yes ladies, I second wifey6 - it's not over until the AF lady sings (appears)!

Thanks Snowbeetle - I didn't exactly storm out but instead, gripped my desk in a fit of rage and sighed heavily. A lot. And muttered to myself. Darkly.

Bettybat you poor thing :( how awful for you. I don't really think there is anything we can say to make you feel better. I'm still waiting to ovulate, but as ny last cycle was 32 days you would normally ovulate around day 18 so not going to stress to much yet!

It's a shame we havent had a few more BFP, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for anyone testing over the next couple of days xx

bettybat - Yes, that must be it - I can't think of any other plausible explanation! Very sorry about your 'broken crisps' though - that must have been hard to bear. As for the bars on the window... Ah, I get it - you're in prison! I gather the chairs aren't too comfy in Holloway... No wonder you've got pmt all month being cooped up with all those other women.

Hahaha thank you, you have all cheered me up wonderfully . That, and cackling meanly over Natalie Cassidy's curly hair do.

Fingers and toes remain crossed for BFPs for you, DH21

Laura - did you get a smiley face yet? I'm convinced my cycle is playing silly buggars and what I thought was dark-but-not-quite-positive line on the OV test on Saturday was a positive. CM has gone to nothing, like it does immediately after AF ends but you know...who am I kidding, I don't really know what I am doing.

I think it's actually taken me ten months to really understand my cycle and spot the signs of ovulation etc... Apart from last month I think I've been ovulating alot later than I thought, and possibly missing my ovulation time! I was expecting to ovulate last week but in fact I got my smiley face today on cd 17, was cd 16 last month. You never know now I have realised this I might actually get a BFP sometime in the near future!! I'm so glad I started using my smiley face sticks and started to concentrate on my body instead of being a stresshead!

Feeling much more positive and am sending my positive vibes your way!!! X

bettybat I can't stand Natalie Cassidy and I too laughed at her hair, talk about ott volume.

I'm so bored bumming around the house with ds. It's tooooo cold to go out and im trying not to spend too much money so I can't think what to do. Doesnt help when friends cancel meeting up.

I sort of feel like she goes out of her way to make herself look worse. The curls put the emphasis on her beak (I am going to hell!) but she just has such an air of smug condescension about her, I don't feel too bad.

Laura Maybe I should try the smiley face. The thing about the sticks (and me) is that the user has to judge: is that test line equal to or darker than the test line. I just want definite yes or no. Leading up to Saturday there were barely barely there lines. Saturday was a super dark line but to my (untrained?) eye, I didn't have the confidence to say it was as dark or darker than the control line.

Either way, we DTD the every day since Wednesday and it's obviously sent me a little loopy

Why can't there be fertile fairy godmothers to hover over your shoulder in a cute but fat way, saying yes or not to these things??

Yes that's what I didn't want-to be wondering if how faint the line was!? I have enough to send me crazy!! I would buy then on amazon tho as they are twice the price in boots!

Am off to google Natalie Cassidys new hair :)

Ha, bettybat - I love the way you write 'I am going to hell' when you say something bitchy/snobby. I do that too. It means that we won't actually go to hell.

Where are all you ladies from? it seems to get very quiet for me in the evening but then it all goes wild in the morning. Are you guys over in europe somewhere? or do you have a secret mn obsession that you don't want dh to find out about so are posting when dh is not about?

10 days and counting until af poas day ... what to do what to do.

hmmmmm indoor things to do with the kids. make structures out of marshmallows and sphagetti? put finger pain in a ziplock and tape it to the window for some clean finger painting fun time (have you ever been on pinterest?? lots of great ideas for cheap fun with the kiddos)

Fingers and toes and eyes crossed for all you in limbo. The last few days are the hardest!!!! i say with my whole 1 month experience of ttc

beeblebear I'm in the UK, I'm guessing you're in the US?

Lol bettybat she def does have a beak! Yes she is v smug about her 'perfect' life and can't WAIT to mention that she has a daughter. Yes we know you awful woman, every day of your preg was pushed into our brains by the media and you've done some god awful programme about it that I will never watch.

I'm in North of England... but I am a mateeuuurrre student so keep some odd hours and am hiding my ttc obsession from dh.

I took ds to the park but only lasted 15 mins cos it was soooo cold! Back at home in my warm nest by the radiator! He seems happy enough watching cbeebies.

I'm in London, meant to be managing the launch of a website....That's not happening, obv!

bettybat - you are me, obviously, as this is exactly what I'm doing! We're not launching right now, obv, but in a few months' time. I'd love to launch two babies at once: a work one and a personal one!

bettybat I'm in Kent so not too far from you!

I meant to be launching in a very short amount of time. I want to go home and look at nice things, but instead I have to think about redirects - which makes me want to vomit, to be honest.

I feel like everyone is being deliberately obtuse, I have fears of looking like a total idiot and mostly I want to cry.

Hence why I'm in here instead

Good luck with your launch though!

In London too.

I'm in Brighton and know what you mean beelebear about it being so quiet on here in the evenings. My dh knows that I'm a complete mn fiend and does often try to curb my usage in the evenings but I'm often out of the house most of the day and end up missing all the action!

I'm convinced that with all of the testing going on at the moment, the next bfp MUST be around the corner! I'm testing again on Saturday morning I think, which will be cd32. It might sound weird but part of me can't be arsed. I feel so unpregnant that it seems like a complete waste of time and I'd be better off just waiting for af to show up.

Grrrrrrr to the 2ww. You stink

I really don't know who I am kidding.
There is no way I am going to conceive naturally.
I've just been through my notes and results from the clinic, and I have my cycles from the last 3 years.
I'm ovulating and having sex at the right time, but it's just not happening.

I reckon AF will be here by the weekend, judging by my pains, but at least then I can try to stop thinking about it for a while.

I sincerely wish you all the best of luck.

lostboys :( (((((hugs)))))))

Hope it all goes well with the ivf. You sound like an absolute trooper!

lostboys you will get baby one way or another and it'll sef be worth the wait :)

Still no AF here, will be cd30 tomorrow
