Who's testing round about 21st of July? Fancy being mental together?

Ok so best guess is OV sometime in the past 3 days. Should really wait until 21st to test going by previous cycle length.

I'm not a good 2 week waiter. Am impatient and mental and a particularly avid symptom spotter. Please come and keep me company in this fortnight of doom...........

was just having a lurk as my AF is due 19th July.

sorry to barge in but nicolahazel can i just tell you off for a minute??! If you don't get pg this month you haven't failed - please don't feel like that. It took me a long 12 months before i realised that whether you got pg wasn't about succeeding or failing... A lot of it is infact luck. DTD on a tues is enogh to get pg and what will be will be. PLEASE don't feel you've failed if it doesn't happen this month though. Good Luck!

Oh, I know, berries...I'm just being dramatic. And hormonal!

CamelKnees · 08/07/2012 17:34

Hi berries

Well said re what will be will be.

It is tough though isn't it to not feel like its us against our bodies....? I'm sure there must be some sort of counter productive negative mental attitude in all that. There's probably some woo earth mother out there somewhere who teaches women to become one with their wombs or suchlike. Maybe I'll start trying to cajole my reproductive organs in the same way I do with my very stubborn 2 year old....

haha camel...

I truly believe now that it is down to luck whether the egg and sperm meet and stick in the right place. Just do what you can and enjoy life in the meantime. Easier said than done i know but a year into TTC#2 and i am managing to do this (albeit in fits and starts!)

sneezecake · 09/07/2012 18:57

Hi can I join I'll be testing around the 23rd, technically not ovulated yet Blush think I should on Wednesday.
TTC#2
I hate the TWW !

kittykatsforever · 09/07/2012 19:52

Welcome sneeze! I hate the 2ww aswell, never used to think about it but now it's like counting down the days till Xmas when your a kid, especially as im not sure if I'm in it yet or not! If I am it's dpo5 though if not I should really dtd again tonight, I feel like we've had loads but when I checked in diary it's just 4 times lol Blush

DulcetMoans · 10/07/2012 09:01

So I think I might officially be in 2ww now. Don't know for sure so will try one more DTD tonight but we are getting tired! haha.

Must be in the 2ww though as today I have started my symptom spotting. Slightest pain or twinge = this could be it!

kittykatsforever · 10/07/2012 09:21

Ooh...hopefully I'll get the call tomorrow as they should get my paperwork today. Exciting!

kittykatsforever · 10/07/2012 10:25

That was goodies not giddiest!?! Although I am giddy now lol think if I don't her bfp this month it's like something to look forward to, Poas without wasting my money Grin think we will be all doing it together!! Lisa that's quick ov if wasn't due to sat, have you been using the epo this month?

resipsa · 10/07/2012 10:29

Aha! So this is where you lot hang out when you're not on the other thread! About the CB trial, I've just sent back my form. Do you get a FM or is it just the sticks? Whichever, I'll save at least £15 this month!

kittykatsforever · 10/07/2012 10:43

Caught us out Blush
I think you get the sticks but it's the 20 pack if it is so that's £30 saving plus test she said so another £12, not sure if it's the monitor I should have asked but I'll get it tomorrow or day after I recon so I'll post what is it

kittykatsforever · 10/07/2012 10:48

From what I gathered the trials seem to be based more around early pregnancy as aposed to getting pg, maybe they are trying to develop new things based around healthy development of mc as they would like the samples to continue if you get pg then also if you mc! If you dont get pg they also give you another 3 month worth of supplies too so all good Grin

DulcetMoans · 10/07/2012 11:04

Do we all get the same? Wasn't sure if we were testing different products. My form said I was in group 'dot' at the top. Whatever that means! Sent mine off today though so will be a bit behind some of you. Not sure what we will do about wee in the fridge...!

redstrawberry · 10/07/2012 16:38

hi can I join too? I need to obsess about symptoms and all that 2ww madness.
I am on 2 DPO and going out of my mind. I really really want to see that BFP.
I will be testing on the 27th if I can wait that long or 25th if I cave and POAS.

I saw EWCM last month (we shagged less last month), this month we DTD CD7,9,11,12,13 and 15. I am exhausted and think I have covered OV but still DTD to make sure I haven't missed it.

Is anyone else feeling this insane?

Hmmm interesting Lisa itd be funny for opk to get it wrong though I think and looks like it ties in with what you were thinking this month anyway!
I've had no Ewcm this month or ov pains, had loads last month so don't know wether I've ovd or not cd20 here and I think I've had enough dtd, just can't muster up the energy!!! Wish I knew if I had definatly and I wouldn't feel so bad

I've gone swinging back towards 'not a chance I'm pregnant' today...the light spotting from yesterday appears a little heavier today, too heavy to be anything exciting, I think.

Ah well, at least I have the CB test to look forward to!

I think we all feel like we've not done enough DTD, but ultimately it only takes the one time to succeed! :-)

I'm as guilty as the next person for being hard on myself though...it seems a bit mad that something which is supposedly so natural can take so much effort and planning!
