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

[ellesabe]

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

Welcome vintageclasp

misslaughalot Please believe me when I say that you are not alone, I know there are lots of other ladies here in the same boat........me for one

winkly ditto - still no AF, now 13 dpo and on cd28/29 of a 24-29 day cycle and yet another BFN this morning with FMU I too am going to resist testing again till friday.........unless AF shows beforehand!

2ww over for me. AF just reared her ugly, wrinkly, old head :(

Oh MissM sorry to hear that......she is such a hag isn't she! Let's hope that you make a lovely xmas baby this cycle

Sorry missm :( have a glass of wine on me.

Evening ladies.

Thank you so much for being so welcoming!

To my despair, I woke this morning to discover the dreaded af had arrived!!
although I am trying for number 4, and I am soo grateful for my beautiful babies, I couldn't help but feel disappointed. I feel so bad for feeling that way when some of you are trying for your first and second. (I know I am greedy) I don't think it matters whether its your second or your sixth, that feeling is still strong. Especially when (like me) you convince yourself that you have a precious little life inside.

Anyway I am consoling myself tonight with my favourite vodka and (cheapo) redbull, which I would have dearly missed had I got my wish! ( and I hasten to add that I have gone without for a whole week as I was terrified of jinxing my bfp, and convinced of the imminent result too!)

You would think after 3 babies, I should have more of a sixth sense as to what is going on in there!!!!

Anyway I am keeping my fingers x'd for everyone else, and will be back to be a neurotic 2ww er again in a couple of weeks!

Good luck everybody xxxxx

Thanks for all your kind words guys, I was having a really low moment this morning and needed to vent somewhere...feeling much better now. You're all super lovely

I think I'm smack bang in the middle of my fertile period now, so DP and I are DTD every other day...que sera sera and all that!

So, let's get out of the loo...it's a lovely evening in Brum, who wants to join me in my summer house? I have cushions, candles and booze for those partaking!

Summer house sounds lovely, and cushions and candles particularly welcoming! I'll happily stand and make cocktails for all who need them!

Glad you're feeling a little better this evening Miss and sorry to hear about the AFs - defo enjoy the guilty pleasures you couldn't have had and look forward to another month of SWI!

madnad and MissM - sorry about AF coming. misslaugh I think we all know that feeling, like being a fertility fairy for everyone else.

windmill these bfns with no period are bad - can't start getting over the disappointment, hoping beyond hope.

Hi everyone!
I'm returning for another 2ww, got my smiley face really early this month (day 13) usually its day 18! Dtd on day 10 and 12 but dh is away tonight :( so I'm hoping it will be ok! Will it be worth dtd tommorow or is that too late? I do get confused as to what the smiley face means, does it mean I'm about to ovulate or I have ovulated? N if im about to ovulate, dtd tommorow which leave me with a chance wont it?!
Your answers would be gratefully recieved! I have my fingers crossed for some BFP!! :) x

laura I think that a smiley face means your about to OV but I'm really no expert so hopefully someone wiser will come along. My dh was away in mon so I was paranoid in case I was OV then so we dtd yesterday just to be sure!

I watched a fertilisation video earlier and out of the millions of sperm released only 100 or so make it as far as the egg. They really have the odds stacked against them poor things.

Shit. Looks like Best White Pants have done the trick.

Bugger, winkly :(

Oh bugger, that is crap news :( sorry to hear that. Hope you're okay.

(Are your Best White Pants ruined too?!)

And while I'm here, I shall share that I did NOT appreciate DH commenting on how his SIL "was so good during her pregnancies. She ate so healthily and never had so much as a cup of tea."

Yes I KNOW she's fucking perfect. All I heard through my wedding planning from PILs was how wonderful her wedding was. Yes she's younger thinner and prettier than me, and her parents gave her money so she and BIL live in a big house in a nice area and she works part time, but DH and I work full time (and the rest) and live in a small flat miles from anywhere. Yes she has two perfectly mannered children and was back in her size 10 clothes before the christening, and clearly her reproductive system is more wonderful than mine, as evidenced by small gap between her kids.

Well I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT!!!

(bright side - obsessive bathroom visiting means caught af in time for Best White Pants to survive thanks)

Oh bugger winkly I've lost my 2ww buddy to the hag.......hope you're ok (prob a bit better after your well deserved rant, nothing worse than the in-laws sometimes) Glad the pants survived tho!

I'm prob not far behind you so more than likely see you on the next 2ww.....onwards and upwards

Can I join?

MC'd in January with first pg and now ttc again. Wasn't exactly careful while waiting on first AF after MC but to no avail... Was hoping to take advantage of being 'more fertile after a MC', had horrendous pg like symptoms too which made it all the worse and AF was a week later than if my cycle was 'normal'. Hoping that this month my cycle will go back to normal at 35 days but husband workng away a lot this month so definitely hoping for a normal cycle as OV will be in between his times away otherwise we can SWI as much as we like but it won't make a blody difference!!

Hope that's not too much of a novel for a first post!! Just glad I'm not the only obsessed one!

my AF is supposed to be due today... so every time I feel like it's coming, I go to the loo to check.... so far, not yet (keeping fingers crossed)

I had wanted to wait till my AF is late for a few days before I take a pregnancy test... cos I dun want to feel rejected if its a BFN... but now am sorely tempted to test....

the stress is making me cave in to my desire for a cuppa of latte... (I stopped coffee for 2-3 weeks after reading that caffeine can affect fertility and implantation)...

(slowly becoming obsessed)...

Oh...I drink tea by the bucket load!

Sorry AF got you winkly that's rubbish :( glad your pants are ok though, nothing worse than ruined pants to make it worse.

Still clinging on to some hope here, only 6 days to go. I don't know whether to test early though. I would if I knew my cycle would be 28 days but after last month I can't be sure. I dont want to test on sun to find out I was testing over a week early!

Dear DesperateHousewife21, I think tea is still all right, I havent come across any articles that warn against drinking tea... but many that recommend a reduction or elimination of coffee intake... :)

Phew! I couldn't live without it. I had alot of decaf when preg with ds. Hes come out ok and he doesn't even like tea!

Hi all, I'm completely new to all this despite ttc #4.

This is our first month of trying and for the first time I bought an opk. The smiley face appeared on day 10 and I felt ov pains the next day.

I can't decide when to test, asap or wait until af is due? I have a 28 day cycle.

Welcome greendragonfly when is your AF due?

Morning Ladies

Had a day away from mn yesterday did me no good though instead of spending the day obsessing with you guys I spent it obsessing on my own.

Welcome to the newbies

Madnad, MissM and Winkly sorry AF got you all I wish you all lots of luck for next month and hope you get them BFPs.

Greendragonfly I am also ttc#4 and I don't know if its because I am thinking about it more but sometimes I feel a little new to it all.

Well AF due saturday and since my BFP on Tuesday I have not tested again. My boobs really hurt now though not sure if I should test again or just wait.
