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

Hi

Could I join you please CD18 normally have 29 day cycles last one was 30 days just to tease me I was convinced I was pg and then AF turned up.

Today's symptom I am very very tired I must be pg right

TMI alert, but just went to loo before bed and nothing there -so only spotting so far! Cross your fingers for me!

I don't have any tests in the house otherwise I'd have peed on them all already so will stop off and buy some today, and see if I can hold out until the weekend. (no chance!)

Think I am out this month...
Having typical Pre-AF pains, moody & my so-called 'early pregnancy tests' said negative- cant see this being my month.

ellesabe sorry I didn't check the thread last night but yeah that table you found looks pretty accurate to me!

wifey sorry you've got pains. Still keeping my fingers crossed though.

We dtd last night with the new lube (it's v good btw I do recommend it!)

I've had some niggles in the lower abdo, not sure if it's OV, it's way too early for AF. Some women can feel when OV happens, maybe I'm one of them!

I'm hoping if I have OV'd then dtd last night and tomorrow will be enough, it's been every other day for the past week!

Thank you DH21....just feel so pathetic & emotional.

It's hard isn't it when you want something so much. When is your AF due?

AF due tomorrow or Friday. I've felt so different this month...& as stupid as it sounds...cant stop crying!

Ah it's not stupid, do many hormones flying around you're bound to feel emotional. I'll feel exactly the same in a couple of weeks when I get there.

We need some bfps on this thread I think, someone test!

So many* stupid phone.

DH21....thank you...I just feel so stupid! Really thought this was it.

Wifey, just remember it's not over until AF arrives in all her glory. I still have my fingers crossed for you and like DH21 agree that you have every right to feel emotional. If AF does arrive, just treat yourself to all the things you couldn't have if she didn't! A short term solution I know, but I always found that 'celebrating' my AF helped me feel very different about it! Hope that helps a little bit anyway.

pip....I never looked at it that way before...thank you. I will stock up on the wine & peanut butter!!
I know I haven't been trying as long as most...but medically this would really make a lot of difference. FX for all you lovelies testing / waiting this week! x

Yes I agree, AF and preg symptoms are so similar so you're not out of the running yet.

Another indicator of OV, if you feel your cervix when you're not fertile it should feel hard like the tip of your nose and quite dry and low.
During your fertile time it'll feel wet, high and soft like your lips.

I've just felt mine and it's high but feels hard rather than soft so who knows. Although I've got nothing to compare it to!

Wifey so sorry you're feeling crap but as others have said you're not out of the running yet.

We have only officially been trying this month but I have wanted to TTC for about 4 years, my DH didn't but I havent been on contraceptive for that long we have just stated away from the time when I OV but there have been months when I thought it had happened and then been gutted when it didn't. Its one of the worst feelings in the world because we want this so much.

I'm going to out myself here but my sister has been TTC since an MC 2 years ago and she has been obsessed with charting, opks and clearblue fertility monitor as well. It didn't happen, then she went on honeymoon forgot all about it all and she is now pg so try and relax a bit, it will happen.

I'm like pip as well, when AF has arrived previously I have tried to look on the bright side like ok I now have another month to lose a bit more weight and get my body in better shape for carry a baby, I have another month to save more money towards buying all baby stuff or new shoes things like that get me through.

Gods that's long I'm sorry

Hi everyone,

12dpo here, tested bfn this morning - is there any hope?

Ive been having mild cramps since 9dpo, cm is clear and stretchy yesterday and today. Does that mean anything?

Hello,

I hope you don't mind me joining in

I swear I've never felt so pregnant, except when I was, erm, pregnant. But it's really unlikely because we were sort of careful, I mean the only way I could be is by some weirdy freak accident with the durex, which tbh I do sort of think we had.

I don't even know when I'm due on, my cycle is often about 27 days but has been a bit longer. I'm on CD 28 and have been having awful cramps for a week now, which is plain weird in itself and my boobs hurt SO much also since about a week ago.

I keep thinking I've come on but there's nothing, just (tmi) rather damp.
and I keep waking up too hot with strange dreams, and my mouth keeps getting very dry at night like it did when I was pg last time.

But I keep telling myself how unlikely it is. you know that 'feeling', it's the particular type of niggly, pinchy cramps and they've been pretty bad all week.

I dunno...anyway just needed to write it down somewhere...almost to make my period turn up by jinxing it!

Best wishes to everyone who's waiting x

btw judging from the cm thing, I either ov'd on day 10 or day 14 I think and we did it on days 6 and 8. But as I said, fairly carefully. So now I'm somewhere between 12 and 18 dpo! [helpful]

I would say there's still hope, Jam. 12dpo is when I got a neg last time, 14 was the puppy, try again in a couple of days if you can wait x

Thank you vasilisa hope you get the result you want

secret sparkle I feel exactly the same!! sorry, not helpful! How have you not tested this morning?!

Wooooo vasilia and secret ... Test test test!!!

I've been meaning to ask all those fertility friend junkies out there if you know what they mean by 'drinking' on the specifics list? I have been quite thirsty these last couple of days, and saw it was there and was about to input it, but then realised I've used it for when I've drunk alcohol in the past! Any ideas which type of drinking it refers to?

Vasilisa, remember that condoms are only something like 95% effective, even when used properly...!
