Were-ducks and were-lions at the ready for more 2ww antics...

[ellesabe]

Hello ladies, come and share the tedious 2ww with us!

Ah ok, yeah it was 36 days last month but I thought it could be because of coming off the pill and they hadn't settled down yet.
I'm on cd27 today so going to wait til wed then test if no AF.

Well I POAS this morning and BFN so now on cd31 (normally 29 day cycles) and I know I should not be deluding myself but I just have this feeling. Do you think it could be the tests I have been using some really cheap ones from home bargins. If AF or a BFP does not show up soon I am going to go crazy.

How is everybody else doing who is testing next?

Hi dh21,
You tend to ovulate at a similar time each month but it can vary, I normally ovulate at around day 18 & 19 but it was day 12 this month. The length of your cycle depends on how long your lutheal phase is, mine is 16 days. This does not change each month. Is this only your 2nd month off the pill? If that's the case you need to monitor your cycle for a few months, my gp told me you may not ovulate the first few months coming off the pill, if I was you I would use the opk and the count how long your lutheal phase is then you won't be wondering each month what's going! Hope that helps xx

Well BFN this morning and really no symptoms at all. I felt way more pregnant this time last month, however I wasn't pregnant so that doesn't actually say anything! I had a little nap after droppiong kids at school today - unheard of! However it could quite easily have just been a procrastination attempt since I am on a deadline that I can't be bothered to meet!!

AF due on Friday, I'm telling myself it's too soon to test - but temps are also only at 36.2 for last couple of days so reckon I might even be early!

Can't believe how many of you have BFP this month - congratulations!

To all others - or ...

cherry sorry you got a bfn, still in the running til AF though!

laura I've been off the pill since mid dec so this month will be the 3rd. If AF shows up I'll be getting OPKs ASAP!

I feel like AF is on the way though, slight cramps and a full ache in my actual bits (sorry!) so just waiting for it to come now.

I just ate some pork pie and now I feel bleuch again

I'm going to be really peeved if this is all in aid of nothing!

I've got immense backache, just come on in the last few mins. Really not a good sign for me. Backache= AF from recent experience. I suppose if AF does come in the next few days I'm on a normal ish cycle. Although that makes me more confused because that means I would have OV mid cycle and we dtd LOADS around that time, looked on my period app and we dtd 4 times in one week around my fertile time.

Ellesabe fingers crossed for you when are you planning on testing?

DH21 not long now till Wednesday hopefully AF will stay away from you.

Still no AF for me been over and over my dates to check and we dtd 3 times around OV time so no idea what's going on guess all I can do now is to wait and see what happens.

just got an incredibly faint line on a Tesco test!!!!

oh sounds good Bimble :)

bimble! How exciting!!

Well I'm on cd27 now but last cycle af didn't show up until cd37. I have only got one test and I really don't want to waste it so I plan on waiting at least another week

I know some of you dh21 will try to persuade me otherwise but I should warn you ladies that I have will-power of steel!

Go Ellesabe, AF is due on Friday 16th and I too only have one test, I'm going to try and wait until the Saturday! All this early testing is too heart wrenching and then if you get a bfn you spend the rest of the week thinking "I could still be pregnant!, maybe it was too early!' not for me this month-im going to have good willpower!! :)

ellesabe haha I would say test but as you only have one in the house it's prob to wait til fri/ sat. Keeping my FX.

bimble woo! That's v exciting I think you should test again right now soon.

I've still got backache and cramps, not looking good :(

Excellent laura, we can stick to our guns together

Ooh bimble I've never had any hint of a smidge of the faintest line, so am very excited for you!

Well there was a line this morning on the other Tesco test - but it was even fainter if that is even possible! My temperature is still really low at 36.2 which is lower than it was this time last month - so not sure if it is all working properly. We shall see, I guess a line is a line though...

Everything crossed for the rest of you testing, I can't believe your will power some of you!

Well I am out AF got me this morning and I am gutted stupidly got my hopes up and the thought of doing all this again for another month is just not appealing to me at the moment but I will cause I know in the end it will be worth it, just on a real downer now.

Congratulations Bimble a line is a line

Laura and Ellesabe stick to your guns I don't think testing helps with the obsessing.

DH21 still got my fingers crossed for you.

I wish all you Ladies lots of luck will pop back in a few days to see how you are all getting on and hope to see some BFPs

Sorry AF got you cherry I was saying to dh last night that the though of doing it all again and waiting another month is drivin me to tears :(

I really think I'm out this month, just waiting for AF to start now. I'll only test if it hadn't come by sat but I'm sure it will.

I'll be stocking up on lots of wine and choc to drown my sorrows.

Does anyone else think I'm just going to chill this month and not think about it? I really wish I could but it's all I can think about and I feel it's stopping it happening.

I want a little baby so much, I want to give ds a sibling and for the age gap to not be massive.

Well done on the will power! I usually give in quite easily, no matter how much I try!

Good luck bimble! A faint line is better than nothing! Hopefully in a few days it will be even stronger...

Still no sign of AF here. I wish I knew what was going on! I've ordered some OPKs and cheap tests on ebay, so hopefully I'll have more of an idea soon. I've been wearing my best knickers to try and coax the witch out!

Ahhh possom I was in the same boat last month and sympathise. It's hideous when you don't know what's going on. Are your cycles normally regular?

They were before the coil. I'm sure it's just my body adjusting to it being removed, but I'm cracking up a bit!

I ordered OPK's, pregnancy tests and a thermometer last night on account of everyone's success this month with combining everything!

Sorry about AF Cherry and hopefully it won't get you DH21 and Possom

It's little consolation to say that there is always next month as we all want to be pregnant so much, otherwise we wouldn't be putting ourselves through all this stress and frustration.

I found out about two colleagues being pregnant just after I miscarried and I'm finding it difficult at the moment. They're both just about to have their 12 week scans and I would've been having mine around now . One of them can't stop talking about all her problems (which are obviously worse than anyone else has ever had but really aren't that bad) and the other is being very tactful which is nice.

OK, rant over!! Now for writing class reports and !!!!!!!

Not sure what's going on for me this month. OKPs have all been negative and I'm on day 16 Usually get a positive on day 14 - do you think I could have missed it? Had EWCM at about the usual time and have been at it a lot because we've made a real effort

I can't believe I'm starting to obsess about ovulating on top of everything else!

Sounds like good news for you, Bimble. Got fingers crossed...

Well I'm a week into my 2ww now, haven't been too stressy yet, it helps I've been really busy at work at next week is looking the same, so hoping I can get through it without too much time to symptom spot, go on google and test early!! Found out another friend is expecting yesterday, obviously so happy for her but immensly jelous at the prospect of watching her have a baby :( I have a friend due every month till September now so il have to practice smiling and asking the right questions and hope its my turn sometime during that!!

Any news from anyone else? X
