Ah, don't lose hope littlemiss. And my cycles are approx 6 weeks at the mo, I'm 5 weeks in and have still got another chance in 2012 if this time doesn't work out. Will be a lovely Christmas present!

Don't give up on this cycle yet though. I'm wishing for you Smile

redstrawberry · 30/10/2012 14:17

mine are bordering on to 5 weeks too... my cycles were 28 days in my horny teenage years, then 30 coming off the pill, now post CP 34 days...

My AF has still not started fully, and my nipples hurt and tingle like hell. Body feels so messed up. Before I used to get tingly nipples a week before AF, now I have nothing till the day the b*tch is going to show up. And my nipples are hurting so much. Just want her to come so my cycles stop getting longer.

sunshine ditto - no lifting the blanket while dtd else its too cold and my feet are like stone cold! Winter shagging is cosy though Smile

SunshineOutdoors · 30/10/2012 14:32

Erm red have you done a test recently, like today? Just it seems strange your spotting or whatever started a while ago but af's not actually here yet.

Not wanting to get your hopes up, just think it might be worth checking. Unless that's normal for you? It's just with me af comes quickly and strongly, not a few smears on wiping for hours.

sorry I had a meeting to run to. sunshine its normal for me unfortunately. I always have 2 days of spotting then followed by AF. Today its been 3 days. Maybe its just getting longer. But def red spotting no mistake.

My work colleague who is 50 was telling me about how she never got the chance to have kids because they left it too late. She then asked how old I was and told me not to make the same mistake and start trying sooner.

I just nodded and took a deep breath and buried my face behind my laptop screen before I burst into tears.

Its okay not her fault, she doesn't know we are trying.

SunshineOutdoors · 30/10/2012 17:28

Oh red I'm sorry that must have felt horrible.

I've not made it a secret I want another dc and getting comments like 'well you better get cracking then' are hard to take. Just want to shout 'I'M TRYING'.

It will happen for you I'm sure, it could just take time. I'm sorry I'm not sure how long you've been trying etc, have you got to the point of getting medical advice? I think I'm going to go to a doctor if af comes this time.

winkle2 · 30/10/2012 17:30

I was drunk last night again! Thats why I said 'oh I love this thread'! drunken, sentimental fool!

aw red ? it's hard when people ask and you just wanna scream I WANT A BABY so loudly but you can't. I'm really scared I've left it too late: we've been trying for 15 months and I'm 34 in a few months. Scared that as it hasn't happened by now, it's never gonna happen. TBH I think we're going to need help conceiving, I can't see it happening naturally for me.

littlemiss ? sorry for BFN but hoping for a better result on Thursday.

LittleMissSnowShine · 30/10/2012 18:25

red - oh you poor thing, i know people don't mean to be horrible but when you're already feeling sensitive about ttc an ill-judged comment can be awful to take. Im v glad i told people in work i was pg in June because when I ended up losing the baby everyone was v understanding and no one has put their foot in it about asking me when DS will have a wee bro or sis. But I'm dreading someone who doesn't know asking me that coming up to xmas.

BFN has put me in a pissy mood!! I'm out with DH&friend doing Halloweeny stuff tomorrow night, off to a play with my mum on Thurs and out with DH&DS on Fri evening and then off to the theatre again (lol) on Sat with DH. So after this evening, this week will be pretty busy and hopefully it'll stop me thinking about it as much. Hopefully. Maybe. Groan.

redstrawberry · 30/10/2012 21:43

I don't know what I would do without your kind words...thank you. DH and I have had tests done ovary scan and sperm test after the cp.
Ovary scan came back clear - all healthy looking. So was relieved. Waiting for Dhs results.

I am not sure if I want to go down the fertility tests route just yet but I want things to be detected sooner rather than later if there is anything stopping us conceiving. I can't wait another 6 months to try without knowing whether something is wrong or not. Just keeping fingers crossed the bfp shows this month.

I think I am a bit more open to telling people about the cp and trying and people are more understanding which helps.

winkle love the drunken post Grin

redstrawberry · 30/10/2012 21:44

How many dpo were you littlemiss when you tested. It might have been too early! Fx for you xx

LittleMissSnowShine · 31/10/2012 02:40

red - cd28 y'day when.i tested. Not sure when.I ov tho I had a feeling it happened a bit earlier than usual cd 15 / 16 rather than usual cd 19. So I thought maybe 12 dpo y'day but I could be wrong about that and maybe I was more like 9 dpo. Hate not knowing for sure!! No sign of af anyway tho, and i'll poas again on Fri if theres no sign... Fx fx fx

SunshineOutdoors · 31/10/2012 06:43

Fx for you littlemiss

I'm starting to get impatient during the 2ww. Trying to find things to do to fill the time and not think about it.

Pumpkin carving today then off to buy sweets for trick or treaters coming round later.

Live in a nice safe area where it's all tiny ones with their parents waiting at the end if the drive. Very cute I love it!

redstrawberry · 31/10/2012 08:10

Same here sunshine we have a lot of little monsters dressed up cute so I need to get some sweeties today. DH is a right grinch when it comes to dishing the sweets out, he hates doing it but I love handing them out.

Sometimes I even ask for tricks and hand out extra treats if they are good ones.

LittleMissSnowShine · 31/10/2012 09:00

We hav our sweeties and carved.pumpkin too - I love halloween! Tho I was posting in the middle of the night after I literally woke up after something went bump in the night! I was awake til half 3, then DS decided to get up at half 5!!! Zzzz

Kittenkatzen · 31/10/2012 10:04

Fx for you littlemiss!

I'm (probably) 2dpo today, and already this is feeling like the longest 2ww ever...I think it's because of the +ve opk on Sunday, and knowing that we dtd plenty at the right time so I'm actually expecting something to happen this month rather than not being sure. Gah.

Loving everyone's Halloween plans! I have to admit I tend to hide from trick or treaters Blush In my defence though it's mainly because we get in from work so late (about half 7) that anyone knocking by that time is much more likely to be cheeky teenage chancers than cute toddlies with their parents, and I'm invariably too knackered to cope with outwitting teenagers at that time of night! Bah humbug! Wink

SunshineOutdoors · 31/10/2012 10:54

Af has just arrived Sad

34 day cycle this time though, so the shortest yet.

Fuck, fuck, fuck! One more chance before Christmas.

I'm having lots of Wine tonight.

SunshineOutdoors · 31/10/2012 10:54

I deffo shagged loads at exactly the right time Sad

Making a doctor's appointment soon.

Kittenkatzen · 31/10/2012 11:06

:( sunshine that sucks big fat sweaty hairy balls. Definitely lots of Wine required for you tonight :(

weechops · 31/10/2012 13:46

Fuckity fuckity fuck fuck bollocks!!! Dh came home last night a week early from his current contract. He now has 10 days in the house and will be away for 2 weeks - on cd8!!! So no fucking chance in November at all either. I bloody knew it was too good to be true with the shift change! Torn between wanting to smash a few plates or cry bucketloads :(

LittleMissSnowShine · 31/10/2012 19:26

sunshine - oh ffs, that really is shit :( Sorry missus, enjoy your wine tonight and hope GP is helpful if you decide to go this week. Are your cycles different lengths every month? Do you tend to get positive opks on the same cd each time?

weechops - oh no, that's terrible timing - i'd go with plate smashing, get the frustration out. or a nice hot bath with a bucket of wine.

kitten - lol i work with the scary teenagers so the teenagers who come across me after dark may be afraid of me, i'm always in work mode when it comes to them Grin

so i've got my pumpkin lantern lit, did sparklers with DS this evening in the back garden, my light up ghostie in the window and a whole bag or trick or treat sweeties. but no trick or treaters yet! this is my first year living in suburbia - down where we lived before closer to centre of town we had loads of kids coming round. none so far this year. i feel deprived!! but heading out to the haunted jail for a halloween ghost tour in an hour so should get my halloween fix by then [hwink]

Sorry it's been a v disappointing day for a couple of ladies - we're not having great luck this month. CD 29 here, no AF but no sore boobs or anything either and BFN y'day. So I'm just trying to forget about the fact that bad news is prob on the horizon for me to....la la la la la ignoring you AF!

SunshineOutdoors · 31/10/2012 19:59

I think I was a bit in shock when af came as I wasn't expecting it for another week. I must have got my hopes up though cos I've had a bit of wine and now am full on snotty tears and everything. Poor dh. I really feel I can't keep going through this, I need to be able to find a way to forget about having another baby.

Going to bed now with a hot drink and a hot water bottle. I just feel defeated Sad

Good luck to all of you.... I think I might have to consider leaving mumsnet for a while, I stupidly starting posting on a poas thread this morning, happily thinking that would be me too soon, now I just feel stupid.

I'm very sorry for this horribly self-indulgent post. I really hope you all get your bfps soon Smile

winkle2 · 31/10/2012 21:41

Oh sunshine. Really sorry for you. If u have a bit of a break, we'll understand xx

Wee - that's bad timing :( smash some plates and get the frustration out!

CD13 here. CBFM hasn't peaked yet but I'm sure it will soon! Have dtd cd9, 10 and 12 so far. Going to go for it again tonight. Aiming for every day over my fertile period - going for it one last month before docs next week so we can get referred :( Although I don't think we're gonna get pregnant, I'm looking more towards next year now. But what can we do but try?

OP posts:
LittleMissSnowShine · 31/10/2012 23:51

winkle - great way to kick off the shagathon! Feeling optimistic for u this month :)

sunshine - if u need a break take one, we'll be here for u when ur ready to come back. Good luck with everything

winkle2 · 31/10/2012 23:56

Just dtd and winkled!

stickybeans · 01/11/2012 05:55

Well today is my day to test....unfortunately I wont be able to until Friday (consequences of burning through the two FRER on 11 & 13 dpo.) Oh well, I suppose I'll get my answer either way if the witch doesnt show=BFP! Good Luck to everyone in the 2ww or future testers.
Chins up to the ladies who fell victim to the witch-hang in there!!
