Hi waves I wondered how you'd got on. I haven't used the internet cheapies are they like the cheap internet OPK's?

Sorry your not much wiser today after testing.

Hi lexi. it certainly is quite frustrating still not really knowing. This is what I have been using:

www.amazon.co.uk/Ultra-Early-Highly-Sensitive-Pregnancy/dp/B001G61MU4/ref=sr_1_8?s=drugstore&ie=UTF8&qid=1350381223&sr=1-8

Hope everyone is having a good Tuesday

Thanks ladies for the replies!

Last time with my LO I had been 'trying' for 5 years and then when I did fall PG I was so shocked I forgot to note any 2ww symptoms! Which now Im on my 2ww for baby no.2 Im gutted about! So has anyone got any they look out for?? Im approx 5 days away from AF 'due' but my tummy has felt crampy and bloated for days and a few days PO I felt very odd in the mornings, almost sicky but again was a passing phase.... I forgot how much mind playing the 2 ww was / is!!!!! Loving this thread and thanks for the welcome! Nice to chat / read like minded people!

Thanks for the info on the abrev. I will be off to superdrug I think too! ;)

LexiLoganberry · 16/10/2012 16:56

laptopgirl there's a webside www.countdowntopregnancy.com click on signs/symptoms and then how many days past ovulation you are and it gives you the 10 most common symptoms.

nannyl · 16/10/2012 17:55

thought i better update

got a BFP this morning Shock

cant believe it.... as did not plan to get pg now.... but were in 10 weeks time.

better get used to a 21month gap, and get double buggy researching!!!!!

Not seeing OH until Friday, though....

no RL people know yet!

Laptopgirl · 16/10/2012 18:02

Congratulations Nannyl!

Thanks Lexi x

weechops · 16/10/2012 18:16

Congratulations nanny

I haven't posted on this fred for a bit as I thought I was definitley gonna be out for this month, however...... dh is coming home 3 days early tomorrow just in time for ov (hopefully see smiley on opk in the morning) so we are still in with a shot for an October bfp :)

chookford · 16/10/2012 18:22

nannyl fabulous news!! Congrats!!!

Weechops fx this is your month!!! Get busy lady! Wink

LexiLoganberry · 16/10/2012 18:56

Congratulation nanny

Nice to see you back weechops fx for you.

JellyCurls · 16/10/2012 19:36

Fx weechops hope dh makes it home on time

Super news nanny Grin. As for double buggies can't recommend the mini city twin highly enough. We used it for dc1 and dc2 with a four yr age gap. Easy to push, narrow enough for getting through doors, side by side x

littlepinkfizz · 16/10/2012 19:53

Great news nanny!! Flowers

weechops ooooh! Fx for October!

waves sounds v v hopeful!

lexi do you get your results tomorrow? X

LexiLoganberry · 16/10/2012 20:04

pinkfizz Yes have to phone in tomorrow but not before 10:30

I'm hoping for a clear positive or a glimmer of something, anything so that they'll consider blood tests. The receptionist didn't know about the sensitivity of the test that's being done.

LexiLoganberry · 16/10/2012 20:35

Have been spotting a little again today, now having really bad cramps, much worse than I usually get before AF.

Don't really know why I'm posting. DH is at the gym I'm on my own, just feeling a little low Sad

Grannyapple · 16/10/2012 20:41

Ooh congrats nanny

Fx lexi AF stays away...

littlepinkfizz · 16/10/2012 21:48

The wait is terrible lexi. I know I was finally relieved when AF came as I knew I was on a new cycle and another opportunity for a BFP. It's so hard being in limbo.x

Dexidoo · 17/10/2012 06:41

Hugs lexi hope that you have been ok overnight

nannyl · 17/10/2012 07:43

good luck lexi.

thank you all for your good wishes.... im getting over the shock now and accepting it.
Yesturdai was surprised but today im very happy!

wavesandsmiles · 17/10/2012 09:13

Congratulations to you nanny. If it's any reassurance, my 2 are just under 18 months apart. I got a double buggy but hardly used it. I got one of those buggy boards instead and that seemed to work really well.

Lexi I really hope you get some good news after 10.30. I am hating the wait myself. Kind of wish AF would just arrive so I knew I was on a new cycle and could get going again. But still, no sign of her, and no pg symptoms either.

DH is taking me to London this weekend for my birthday, so REALLY hoping that AF comes today and disappears quick, or holds off til Monday!

weechops fx that this is your month!

LexiLoganberry · 17/10/2012 09:38

waves Completely agree if I'm not pregnant ok but I just want to know, not long to wait now, it's like the longest poas wait ever.

Also I hired a book called the day by day pregnancy book, premature I know but it was when I was confident that I was pregnant and on the 5 weeks 1day page which is today it does say how common it is to have no signs, I'm sure your know that already but just thought I'd mention it.

Thanks for eveyone's good wishes, didn't sleep well with the cramping but it has eased off now. Spotting seems to be getting slightly heavier each day.

Laptopgirl · 17/10/2012 11:25

Thinking of you Lexi! x

LexiLoganberry · 17/10/2012 11:31

I have phoned for results, they are back but the doctor hasn't had a chance to check them yet, got to phone again after lunch.

MrsBri · 17/10/2012 13:39

Good luck Lexi.

And thank you did mentioning that book as I'm 5wk 2days with very few symptoms.

Reassuring to know. :-)

MrsBri · 17/10/2012 13:40

Actually, 4wk 2days! Wishing time away there!!

LexiLoganberry · 17/10/2012 13:52

I can't get my results.

Why is everything so frustrating. When I spoke to nurse on monday she told me to bring in sample tuesday morning and would have results that afternoon, when I took the sample in the receptionist said to call for results wednesday morning, called this morning and told to call after lunch, just called and told to call back tomorrow. Aaaarrrrr

LexiLoganberry · 17/10/2012 13:53

Congratulations MrsBri Smile
