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

Well, my resolve broke and I couldn't wait any longer so I tested on Monday night and whispers it was a BFP!

Keeping fingers, toes and eyes crossed that all goes well given that I have been constantly ill with colds, coughs and bugs since DD went to nursery in January.

Here's to a booze free Lent.

Good luck to everyone else!

Congrats soozleQ that's great news!

Trying to give up hope this month, but still got no more than spotting in spite of cramps! Not my normal AF arrival, but also not the way my two pregnancies started! Who knows...

Soozle congratulations! Oh how lovely.

Pipsi I know, we were genuinely rubbish though, we even used an extra one after the first one gave up, and in the end I'm not entirely sure whether it was there or not

Secret, I'm going with any sort of cm you haven't seen before has to be good though I thought I had some very pale pink spotting earlier, but nothing since. I am feeling so rough today, sort of shivery and shaky and unwell though not feverish.

I'm actually in that 'Ohhhh shit' phase now. Not because I don't want a baby, but because we weren't planning on it just yet. Terrifying.

Do you plan to test, Secret? I am only brave when it's only 6 days after we had sex, and couldn't possibly be positive. After that I tend to back away from the tests...hope you get what you're hoping for x

btw I can't post very easily on this thread, it's taking about a year to get a sentence up, so if I don't post much please don't assume I don't want to!

Thanks for having me x

So hungry today. Must be preggers.

soozie congratulations that's amazing news!! so nice to have a BFP on the thread again.

Hurrah!!! A BFP! congratulations Soozle - I hope it all works out for you! Maybe this will be the first of a few? I reckon some of you lovely ladies are sounding pretty lucky this month!

Secret, thanks for your idea about ff. I am with you on the just wanting to know thing. We weren't even supposed to be trying this month, and I am well aware how disappointed I'll be if I'm not, but ultimately, I just want to KNOW! All this "are my boobs tender, or was that just DS squishing them"is doing my head in!!! I know it's only 2 weeks, and I'm just about half way there now, but STILL! And it's not like we can talk to our DPs about it can we - they'd think we were crazy and completely don't get why we can't be patient! I've made the mistake of going down that road before! DH once asked me why I needed to bother to poas, because "if AF doesn't come for a few weeks, then you know you must be pg"! Men! [rolls eyes]

Sorry soozle can't even get your name right!

Dh thinks I'm too impatient and told me to stop stressing because it'll be less likely to happen. Yes I know that but it's not to think about it all day alot.

Hard not to*

Sorry to hear that Secret Time to crack open a bottle of and eat some stinky cheese!

secret sorry AF got you, indulge yourself with a hot bath and wine!

I've been having niggly feelings all day. Don't know if it's OV, I hope dtd last night is enough if i am OV.
I want it to happen this month so much I feel like I should dtd again just to be sure but dh isn't here and I doubt he'll be feeling upto it later.
Just have to keep my fingers crossed.

soozle....congratulations!!
So....cramps have gone & I'm feeling pretty normal- define normal!
My moods brightened & although I am starving all the time but not fancying much..weeing constantly & crying at everything & anything I am listening to wise advice from this morning & buying myself nice little treats should AF turn up- by that I mean lots of wine! I will use my 'early test' again tomorrow & Friday if AF is a no-show & see what happens. No months have been the same for me- so all these 'symptoms' could just be my body adapting! It's impressed me so far by returning to normal after a hell-ish year so I just have to keep reminding myself of that & hope it does me proud by allowing me a baby.

I'm very impressed at your positivity Wifey! I suddenly realised earlier that I hadn't thought about being pg for a while (it's amazing what shopping can do! ) and also hadn't spotted any symptoms for a while! I've therefore come to the conclusion that this is all psychosomatic and am going to try and spend the next week preparing myself for AF until I lose resolve in about an hour.

I'm just going to try and focus on the positive things I already have, like sitting here watching my DS trying to cuddle the cat (much to her extreme annoyance!)

It's thanks to you pip I am feeling so much better- so thank you so much.

Not thinking about being pregnant!!!

Pipsi!

You're so right about men though. DP was just here. I gestured to the bed where a twin pack of Morrisons tests is lying, and said 'I have been feeling so rough today that I bought those. And I am a liiiiiittle bit late'.

He just went 'eh?'

[rolls eyes]

He did follow it with a bit about not to worry, whatever happens, so he means well.

I'm currently staring them out, they are not winning this one. It'll come tomorrow, I know it will, it always does when i think it's left the building!

Secret, I've only known you since this morning and I am so sorry you're out. I was hoping you'd get a bFP. Next time eh? Everything crossed for you

Wifey you are doing good.

...and I'm out, too!

Well, never mind...all the best everyone.

Sorry to hear that Vasilisa :( I'm pretty sure I'm going to be following you out that door in a weeks time!

Thanks Wifey! It's nice to know that I've been of some assistance! I'm getting good vibes from you though - keep us posted tomorrow and/or Friday and good luck!!!

vasilisa sorry you're out. AF always shows up just when you decide to test! Darn thing.

I'm officially on the tww now. I'm hoping I can test a few days early so prob got about 10 or 11 days to go

Secret and Vasilisa sorry you are both out.

DH21 I am just at the start of the 2ww and already want to test.

Today I have had very watery cm does anyone know what this is all about both my back and stomach ache and I am very tired.

Watery CM is also fertile CM, some people don't get EWCM at all, or you might not get it every month, but it doesn't stop you conceiving - maybe you should still be at it, just in case?!

Definitely out! AF arrived with full force this afternoon. Actually cried on the way home from work, most unlike me :( worry that DH and me ate never going to get our baby, humph!

So lacking entirely in self control I POAS - BFN -boo!

Perhaps AF is on her way afterall

I promised I wasn't going to symptom spot. I promised myself I would not get obsessed with this. FFS this is only the first cycle really...

AAAARRRGH I hate this 2ww malarkey!
