Hi winkle. I'm still in it to win it. Grin

frustratedpants · 17/08/2012 14:43

Hi slattern I think I'm due 27th. Cycle seems to be attempting a 27day thing. Not sure about cramps mine are always wind but still dtd-ing just in case I have my dates wrong.

Gutted tetley Sad

No Lolcbcb we are not xxxxxx ,we're 2ww-ing. And not going to xxxx it by discussing being xxxxxx. Grin can't do any POASing until after the weekend. cheapies don't count Wink

IBelieveInPink · 17/08/2012 14:46

Ah good, new Fred more luck Smile thanks winkle

berri I shall most definitely be waiting til Monday. Definitely!!! Where can I buy willpower? And is it cheaper than sticks?!

frustratedpants · 17/08/2012 14:50

Not sure Pink but if you find some can you pass some my way. I want to POA Internet cheapy S. although logical part of brain is telling me I'm an idiot-- not to.

goingbananas30 · 17/08/2012 15:21

lol Pink

willpower is cheaper than sticks.... all u need is to search deep within and thnk of what early testing can do...

Im supposed to test on Monday as well but might be waiting it out....

Peacocklady · 17/08/2012 15:37

Another bfn this morning for me! Confused though because I really felt like I did ovulate 2 weeks ago after the pos opk and subsequent cramping. Got sore boobs and feel sick now, but the stick says no!

frustrated how many days after your mirena removal did you get af? Got mine out 36 days ago now! Also did your preg symptoms disappear on your second cycle?

frustratedpants · 17/08/2012 16:11

Hi peacock I bled about 5 days later, so based myself of 1st day of that bleeding, and am on my 3rd or is it 4th, I can't remember proper 27day cycle. 1st cycle was definately the worst by far, I was sick every morning, felt nausious all day, wee-ing a lot, dizzy spells, etc, pretty much throughout the 1st cycle. POAS a few times too I still get nausea and dizzy spells, but think there's another reason for that so can't rely on that for symptom spotting, but I do think that pg symptoms that I felt that 1st month were definately due to the Mirena.

frustratedpants · 17/08/2012 16:13

peacock I was getting the symtoms all month, not just in the 2ww.

Lolcbcb · 17/08/2012 16:26

I'm feeling the love in the new thread!
There is still hope for us girls.
Let's light a candle for some baby fairy and hope we get at least a couple of bfps. It has been an appalling few days and we deserve it!
8 days till I'll allow myself to poas. Pls stop me if u see me cracking x

Peacocklady · 17/08/2012 16:38

Wow frustrated so you were actually sick! I've felt sick on and off throughout this cycle but have had quite a lot of twinges in last 2 weeks and the sore boobs have started in last couple of days. Often had sore boobs when mirena was in a lot anyway I suppose I'll just have to be patient! and keep testing to keep a reality check

frustratedpants · 17/08/2012 17:55

me and nausea dont get on too well together. Just re-read my post, and realised it looks like I was sick very morning all month, was just sick between Ov and AF. I was convinced I was pg until AF showed up. despite all the neg POAS that I did. Pah ha ha! bloody hormones

SunshineOutdoors · 17/08/2012 18:52

Hi superslattern you sound in a v similar situation to me. I'm 10dpo and dd turned 1 two weeks ago. Have been trying to get pg since new year, although only got my period back in may due to bf, so before that I was just hoping to catch the first ov before af. Have only had two periods since may

All you early poas-ers, how many dpo are you? I started my Internet cheapies yesterday at 9dpo, bfn and also today I haven't really done 3 tests today already

Not even an imaginary line on any of them, which makes me think I'm probably not this month. Going to do a frer on Sun at 12dpo... Do you think a neg will be a be a neg then? Cos I'm off to v festival and if I'm not pg would like to get wankered slightly inebriated - that's the one thing that's helped this month.. Knowing that there's a party silver lining to the black cloud of a bfn, although I thought I'd ov earlier than I think I have, thought I'd be done and dusted either way by Sun.

Suppose I'll have to take it easy... But how shit if I'm not pg and stayed sober for no reason.... wwyd?

SunshineOutdoors · 17/08/2012 18:55

Sorry, I strode right in there with me, me, me Blush

Hi everyone good luck to all Smile

SunshineOutdoors · 17/08/2012 18:56

I understand all the symptom spotting - I'm tired and feeling nauseous.... But surely if there were enough pg hormones to make me feel like that then there'd be enough to show up on a test?

frustratedpants · 17/08/2012 19:11

Hi sunshine
The most sensitive POAS might pick something up on 12dpo. i also think it might be dependant on how many days before AF it actually is.
I'm a 27dayer, so 14dpo is AF day. as an addict I POAS from about 7dpo but realistically don't expect anything before 10/11dpo. so why test before then frustrated? Slaps self with wet fish
But egg may or may not drop on O day, it can be later, so the longer you leave it before POAS the better.

stickybeans · 17/08/2012 19:17

Congratulations in advance to everyone on their future BFP!! Its going to happen ladies I know it!

I've been trying not to symptom spot but I
cant help it. Every cramp, pain, or episode of nausea is what gives us hope- there's nothing wrong with that!
Its not over til the witch arrives and I plan on putting up one heck of a fight!!!

berri · 17/08/2012 19:19

Thanks for new thread winkle Smile

Hi to everyone - lets see if we can get a few new bfp's in the second half of the month!

Sunshine - just go and enjoy yourself. Until you get a bfp there's nothing you can do so shouldn't change behaviour. So my docs said anyway when I asked whether I could carry on with the vino while ttc! Have fun, it might be the last opportunity to let your hair down for a while!!

SunshineOutdoors · 17/08/2012 19:39

Thanks

By the way, did anyone see this thread in chat today? I thought it was lovely

PuppyMummy · 17/08/2012 20:49

hi super & frustrated think I was on a 2ww thread with u last month. its 2ww time again! af due next Fri for me.

also sunshine I think I have been on a previous 'month' thread with u.

sunshine my oh is currently at v festival. I couldn't go cos my best girlfriend who we normally go with has a new baby (not going on my own with no one to go to loo or back to tent with!!)
this would be ok cos the plan was that I wouldn't go anyway cos I'd be pregnant.... riiiiiiiight!!!

have choc and popcorn to make up for it!

IBelieveInPink · 17/08/2012 20:57

sunshine I was thinking exactly the same, how is there enough hormones for feeling but not for testing?! Urgh.

But to answer your question, I would test on the morning you go, and if bfn I would enjoy myself. It is a personal decision, and not the way everyone likes to do it, but personally I think getting yourself stressed over missing out on things can cause more issues that a couple glasses of wine! Just don't go crazy if there is a possibility Smile

frustratedpants · 17/08/2012 21:45

Hi puppy welcome back.

And in aid of the 2ww distraction technique you can all have a cheesy grease quote "oh look the gang's all together again"

frustratedpants · 17/08/2012 21:46

Ooh bloody hell almost dropped my phone down the toilet!

PuppyMummy · 17/08/2012 21:59

that will have distracted u for a good 5 mins!

frustratedpants · 17/08/2012 22:15

Only 5 seconds of panic, missed thank goodness, but only just. My heart is still racing a bit. Grin

How can you let DH go without you? That's so unfair. I am Envy jealous by your possession of chocolate. --I haven't had a chocolate bar for at least 6 weeks. Proper withdrawal. Sad

woody17 · 17/08/2012 23:21

Hi all

Af came today for me!

Hope you all get BFP this month!
