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

[ellesabe]

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

Possum AF is due to visit me on the same day as you I think and I am going crazy hopefully she will stay away from both of us.

I feel very weird tummy is very crampy and boobs hurt this however could all be in my head.

Thanks to all for the congratulations!! Getting excited now. Learning SIL is also 5 wks actually made it feel more real, they were so happy, I started to think yeah its for real for me too and we also need to get happy!! You know that happy/slightly scared feeling some get with their bfp.... So yes pipsicles I am going to tell the family sooner now there's another baby on the way it will be great to see their faces!

I forget who asked me what I did different (I threw everything at it last month I could think of) but I'll post asap - just gotta cook tea first.

detective very many congratulations to you!!!

Am now 5 days late. Which isn't that much I know, but having established a really rather reliable 28-29 day cycle is v annoying to be on day 34 with still no sign but a load of BFN tests. If for no other reason than the sooner AF turns up the sooner it's over and we can start again. Sigh. Patience was never my strong point.

I know how you're feeling it's a horrible wait/ limbo time.

We dtd last night, have slight 'tugging' on the right. I wish I'd bought OV tests I hate not knowing when it's happened. Prob won't dtd tonight and dh is working overnight tomorrow so won't get to dtd til tues night. If I'm OV today will that be enough dtd?!

If you dtd last night and ov today, that should be fine I think.

I think I might use opks next cycle. I'm going to buy them when AF comes. How many sticks typically get used in each cycle?

I hope so, Im feeling quite up for it again tonight though but don't think dh is keen!

I'm thinking of getting OPK from eBay, you can get loads for just a few quid so saving lots of ££

How many get used per cycle? Do you just use them slightly before you think you've ov'd until you get a positive? Two sleeps til period day. Really struggling to not do a pointless test.

With either type of OPK, it helps to work out when your fertile period is likely to start. It's usually the length of your usual cycle minus 17 days. So, if you have a 28-day cycle, start testing on day 11 and carry on for six days. Use our ovulation calculator to help you work out when your "fertile window" is likely to be.

Copied from the babycenter website, hope it helps :)

The Tesco cheapy gave me a clearer positive feels much more real now!

Congrats Detective

thedetective congratulations!

Hopefully we'll all be joining you in a week or so :)

Congrats Detective! Hope this is the start of many more!

I'm really worried now that I'm OV but won't get to dtd til tomo eve

Winkly I bought this last month, in case it doesn't show which option, I got 30 OP tests and 10 HPT and preseed.

I want to say more but toddler won't let me will try to post later.

Its gone quiet on here today, how is everyone?

CD20 for me, have booked lots of things to do this week to take my mind off it!

Hi DH21 it's not very busy on here today. CD 24 for me and I'am feeling very emotional hope that's not a sign of AF. I know I shouldn't of but I have really built my hopes up this month.

So have I just because I can't face doing it all again next month.

Oh Cherry it's hard to not get your hopes up. I'm really struggling to hold off testing - difficult not to get my hopes up since I threw up my toast this morning. Even DH is joining in with symptom spotting now!

I wait no more. Day 35 and AF is here after teasing me with a 7 day delay. Wine and forbidden foods at the ready.

chair I had that last month and it sucks. It's so hard being back to square 1.

dh21 the amount you guys have been at it, I wouldn't worry about skipping dtd for one evening!

winkly we've all got our fingers crossed for you! at throwing up toast!

Sorry winkly, it's not that I like the idea of you throwing up, I just mean it's an encouraging sign!

Lol yeh we have been quite busy this month!

Went to a group at a surestart centre (I go every mon) so that took my mind off things.

Only 4 hours to go til ds' bedtime, then I've got the eve to myself ahh!

ellesabe I know it would normally be an encouraging sign, but I have a real bargain-basement stomach and throw up at the drop of a hat, and all my PMT symptoms have presented themselves, so I'm not at all hopeful.

I think I'll be buying the OPKs sedgie has kindly linked to if when AF comes in the morning.

Chair enjoy your wine and forbidden foods. I've stopped drinking (and my jeans are gratifyingly looser as a result!) but have bought some lovely creamy goat's cheese for salads later in the week :)

evening all, just a quick one to let you know that amazingly I got a BFP this afternoon. Still pretty freaked out, but wanted to share the baby dust around and hope it catches.

Congrats latestarter more BFPs for the thread

BFP YEAH BABY!!
