Hi ladies
lolcbcb are we in the 2ww already? fancy meeting you here
kitty I hope I've timed it right.
kNicker calm and waiting. We don't want you to be fooled by twisted cycle again.

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 11/09/2012 07:20

I may just vanish until I know for sure...then nobody gets sucked into my body being a bitch again :-/ It would be awesome if we could switch off from TTC.

I'm very jealous of your holiday, Lol. I'd love a break and some sunshine. But...only 21 working days then I'm off for 2 weeks. And the joy of having a hideously busy job is that time rockets past!!

FrustratedSycamorePants · 11/09/2012 07:23

Oh don't vanish kNicker I didn't mean that.

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 11/09/2012 07:26

I know you didn't...I just don't want to bore people with my stupid body :-/

And I always struggle to see waves of BFPs too. Green eyed monster is bad!

Lolcbcblemonlime · 11/09/2012 07:32

Nooo don't leave us! I'll text you instead for an update !
Yeah frustrated. 2w bloody w for me. Bored already. And how come nobody invented a test which can spot conception??? Angry

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 11/09/2012 07:36

Someone mentioned your belly button changing colour or something ages ago. That's a great idea. If a bit freaky!

Ha! I forgot you had my number, Lol! No hiding here then.

Thundercatsarego · 11/09/2012 07:38

Maybe a little flag could pop out of your belly button. Like TA DAA! That would help me as all the other stuff is waaaay too subtle...

peardrop2 · 11/09/2012 07:39

That was me :-) I'm going to make millions one day Grin

Lolcbcblemonlime · 11/09/2012 07:50

Haha. Seriously though. Cb has conception indicator so that must be a starting point. Waiting for 2 whole weeks seems very last century!!
We could all spend time in a lab and do it. Then share the millions!!

DulcetMoanslovesNectarine · 11/09/2012 07:50

I'm worried the flag might ruin tops if it tries to force its way though material. Would have to wear dark clothes for the belly button light thing too. Don't want people I'm talking to to know before I do from seeing it through clothes. What about tummys like a magic 8 ball? We jump up and down a bit and a little message shows up saying yes or no? Maybe more discreet!

FrustratedSycamorePants · 11/09/2012 07:55

Grin at little flag popping out of belly.

I confused myself with cramps yesterday. Yesterday was day 15/28 dpo unknown, but officially in the 2ww I guess.

You need to stay and distract me kNicker
I get greeneyed too, but not too bad with my regular 2ww-ers. It's AF week that I get greeneyed bad.

peardrop2 · 11/09/2012 07:55

Lol hands off :-)

I was thinking more like glow worms. Either squeeze the belly to make it work or it naturally glows in the dark after shining a torch on it.

Thundercatsarego · 11/09/2012 07:57

Hmm yes I can see that clothes damage could be a real problem for the flags. What about 80s neon colour urine- hot pink for example....

peardrop2 · 11/09/2012 08:02

Hah I had orange calypo wee a week ago so luminous pink for a positive would be very fitting! I like that!

teaandcakesolveseverything · 11/09/2012 08:36

Lol orange calypo wee! Loving the idea of the flags / lights, it has briefly diverted me from the COD, hopefully be futher diverted by a trip to the hairdressers followed by cake later! AF here this morning, 2 days late, I had just started maybe getting my hopes up, at CD37. I fully blame dh for being totally non-compliant and putting no effort in whatsoever... doesn't he realise that when you are "trying for a baby", that involves some kind of trying and effort on his part. that is why it is referred to as trying. And although he seems to think my cycles go past everso quickly, to me they seem to drag on forever, and actually, with a 35 day cycle, that equates to only 10 chances every year. Which is actually not that many. I am almost jealous of my lesbian friend who is TTC via a turkey baster and an obliging male friend :-)
OK, rant over! Sorry about that!

fatasbutter · 11/09/2012 11:11

Oh tea don't be sorry! Same boat here! Preaching to the converted sister!! Wink

WhenSheWasBadSheWasAnOrange · 11/09/2012 11:52

Oh tes sorry about af. Bloody dh's

Loving all the plans for flags but my favourite would be the magic eight ball tummy. Smile

Think I am 2 days post ov (could be 3 but not sure). Back is a little achy but not sure if it is ov related or 2ww related. Scan is on thursday so that should keep me occupied.

kittykatskumkwat · 11/09/2012 12:53

He he, love the suggestions but I like the wee but can I suggest that it's pink for a girl and blue for a boy so we don't have to wait for 20wk scan?!
Sorry about af tea, when you break it down it doesn't seem like alot of goes does it Sad
Same as when 2-3 dpo I'm hoping it goes quick, rather dissapointed that I had rather sore boobs yesterday,exactly like I have when pg but as this is way to early im not going to be able to attribute it to pregnancy therefore if it comes before af due it could mean nothing as it does now Sad

Lolcbcblemonlime · 11/09/2012 13:30

Love your idea kitty! We need to find a scientist ASAP who can invent this!!!
I'm also 3dpo. Bored!!

DulcetMoanslovesNectarine · 11/09/2012 13:53

Can the pink/blue wee thing be optional? I don't want to know, I want a surprise!

We aren't really talking about something we can make any more though. We are looking for a major evolutionary change!!

Thundercatsarego · 11/09/2012 14:14

I reckon we could invent this! We just need to find out something our bodies produce upon conception (more sensitive than hcg suge obv), and then find a product that reacts with this to produce a colour. To remove confusion (and panic), we will just have purple and kitty you're just going to have to wait to find out what you've got. Will be the next treat for 20weeks!

Easy, see?!

fatasbutter · 11/09/2012 14:14

Yup magic 8 ball tummy request here too! I think I'm 4-5 dpo based on previous cycle smileys I had... Why does it go so slooooowly?!

Kittenkatzen · 11/09/2012 14:15

Hey ladies, just popping in quick to say hi from holiday, hope everyone's good, have I missed any gossip?

Back home on Friday so will catch up properly then Smile

teaandcakesolveseverything · 11/09/2012 14:17

And I thought that everyone else's dh would happily oblige eod throughout the whole month like you're supposed to do for months on end while I have to literally beg my dh for sex! Thanks for being so nice ladies, I can't rant like that in RL especially not to dh or the current little effort would probably become nonexistent - the trouble with ttc is that we have to keep them on side! Although I would hope that he wont still be sulking in a couple of weeks time! He does want kids, but would rather not make an issue out of it by deliberately upping the usual sex quota.
Quite agree with you lot who are 2-3 dpo, it seems interminable until you get to the next bit! Which is just too exciting and every month it feels like you've been through the mill by the time AF (or BFP!) arrives, and every month I vow not to let it happen again and just ignore the whole thing (fat chance!)
Hope the scan is ok, When, try not to stress about it too much, and kitty I hope the sore boobage isn't just your body playing silly buggeries with you like mine loves to do!

weechops · 11/09/2012 14:19

hey kitten hope you're having a fab holiday.

Not much happening here in my neck of the woods. cd7 today and although I have the opk to pee on now til ov, I'm wishing the days away. Really really hoping to ov a bit early as there is always the chance that dh could get sent to another job before I ov!
