Anyone care to join me for this interminable length of waiting time?! I'm only 1 dpo! Brew

I'm about half way through the 2ww (I think) -ttc #2 and though with #1 I was charting temps, knew my cycle inside and out this time round I haven't a clue Grin

Had a couple of days mad symptom spotting at the weekend (as in probably about 2dpo), felt sick, light headed, tingly boobs, exhausted... POAS (yes ridiculously early, I know) and BFN (naturally!), since then, I've felt fine...

Moving house next week, so probably for the best if I'm not pg, but there you go Smile

Hi all

I'm just starting my first real 2WW, except that I'm not really sure when I ovulated. Hmmmm, hope we DTD at the right times. I've just had two days of EWCM (though later than I thought, days 15 & 16). Does that mean I'm ovulating now? Oh gawd, maybe we need to DTD again tonight in that case?

AF due on 22nd, but if ovulation is late maybe even later... How to pass the time?

Tea1Sugar · 10/07/2013 19:28

Hi all, I've had the most yucky taste in my mouth today, like soil , it's past now but a good two hours I spent wanting to rip my tongue out!

Writerwannabe83 · 10/07/2013 19:36

Definitely : definitely DTD again tonight!!

My AF is due on the 21st too Grin

Writerwannabe83 · 10/07/2013 19:37

22nd I mean, lol

TeaAndANatter · 10/07/2013 19:44

Due to test on Sunday or Monday. Not sure if I want to know, or just wait for a fat disappointment when AF comes and pocket the crispy fiver for chocolate.

Definitelysometime · 10/07/2013 19:44

Oh brilliant, a TTC buddy! Will this be your first writer?

Luxlisbon82 · 11/07/2013 08:53

Hi, can I join? I've got 8 days till I can test-
anyone else symptom spotting mad? I swore I wouldn't and on cycle 1:
I've already obsessed over veiny boobs and thighs

needing to eat a snickers twice in one day even though I'm normally a vegetarian super healthy foodie who doesn't like sugary stuff(probably caused the veiny-ness due to 3 eaten in 2 days-faaat)

Feeling unusually good- normally always tired due to other dc' s. That one is insane

And I actually have a little belly (see 3 snickers)

Weeing ALL the time Inc 5.30am, I mean it's not like like it's hot or anything and I'm drinking lots.....oh.

Being way more dippy than my usual self- claimed yesterday that W-E didn't spell anything. Stepped in cat sick I was fully aware was there 2mins before on my way to cleaning it up.

I'm normally quite sane and non obsessive, what happened?

TeaAndANatter · 11/07/2013 20:09

Two or three more full days til test

Tea1Sugar · 11/07/2013 20:12

Please slap me I'm still doing opks each day despite being cd18 now and had just one positive opk on cd12. Blush

OP posts:
TeaAndANatter · 11/07/2013 20:16

Ha! Well, that's commitment for you. If it makes you feel good, go for it. Hell, roll them up and smoke them if it helps the 2ww go faster ;-)

Tea1Sugar · 11/07/2013 20:18

Thanks! Got cramps tonight pretty intense tbh but at only cd18 I reckon it's IBS rather than Af or implantation. Still wishful though!

OP posts:
TeaAndANatter · 11/07/2013 20:27

Crossing everything for you. It's only my first cycle post mc, so I'm not overly hopeful, but still going for it whole heartedly.

Tea1Sugar · 11/07/2013 20:35

Sending loads of luck your way, it's my first cycle off the pill so also doubtful tbh, but us "teas" can stick together Grin

Tea1Sugar · 13/07/2013 10:31

Morning all. Strange thing for me today - for up at 6am with dd as I do everyday. I've just woken up from an hour's nap on the sofa. Really? A nap at 9.30am?!

OP posts:
TeaAndANatter · 13/07/2013 16:56

Uhhh, lower temp today. Scenting no need to test tomorrow/Monday. Quite frankly, poo. First cycle post mc was probably hoping for too much, but I'd read so many other people managing it. Poo, poo, poo. Sadder than I thought this'd be. And also worrying that bleeding will be triggering about the mc. Good luck all remaining on the wait. I'll lurk until AF arrives, then slink off to the August bus. x

KittyCatKittyCat · 13/07/2013 18:50

Oooh! Goog luck everyone!

I'm super confused, maybe you can all help me out? I have irregular cycles so not sure if I'm ovulating or impanting! Will continue to DTD every other day regardless (serious foof chafe, despite using conceive+). Okies, my cycle has been 28-35 days this year. Mostly 31/32. So, here's my activity this month, with symptoms...
Cd 1-5 AF
cd 6 DTD
cd 9 DTD (at Glasto, we're dedicated...)
cd 12,13,14 + 17,18 DTD

cd 19, 20, 21 Away on business, but got mild AF cramps in the night on 20 and 21.
cd 22 DTD and started getting mild achey boobs, like AF due but not as sore, v.mild.
cd 23 boobs still tiniest bit tender when I move them about.

cd23 is today... so if my longest cycle is 35, I guess I'm in the 2ww already, with my shortest cycle at 28 these could be symptoms of pg. Hmmm.

Thoughts or opinions anyone?

KittyCatKittyCat · 13/07/2013 18:51

Good* (slaps forehead)

KittyCatKittyCat · 13/07/2013 18:51

Jeez... *implanting.

EnglishBreakfastTea · 15/07/2013 02:23

Hello ladies, brand new first time poster here! I'm on my first 2ww trying to conceive DC1 and i'm not enjoying it in the slightest, to be honest, I feel pretty rough! The constant ache ive been experiencing down there for the last 5 days is starting to scare me a bit! Has anyone experienced anything like this before?? AF is due on Sunday so its a bit early for me to POAS, its taking all my will power not too though! Hoping fingers & toes crossed that i'll get a BFP next week - at least it will put my mind at ease about the period type pain anyway! Smile
Nice to meet you all, sending Brew and as many BFPs as possible!

EnglishBreakfastTea · 15/07/2013 02:34

Oops, forgot to mention that I'm not a night owl....I actually live in Australia so it's a reasonable time here! Smile
KittyCatKittyCat - you sound just like me! My cycles range from 28 - 34 days, mostly they stable out at 30-31 but i can never really tell! Have you tried temping? I havent yet (am going to do more research listen to mumsnet advice) before I invest in a kit. I've had odd feeling boobs in the last couple of days too, they dont hurt, just feel strange....I'm deffo taking it as a sign Smile wishing you the best of luck!!

Luxlisbon82 · 15/07/2013 09:42

Hey kittycat, if you are on a longer cycle the later pains could be later ov, do you get any other ov symptoms? maybe opks will help if you have varying lengths of cycles. If not many people complain of af type pains too early and go on to have a bfp, so fingers crossed for you!

Englishbreakfast I've been having these pains since about 7dpo but I'm first cycle off pill so don't know how long my cycle is, but all signs point to 28 days, so they are so early, hopefully it means positive things for us- at least something is going on in there?!

Tea1Sugar · 15/07/2013 11:16

I'm going to poas on thursday before I go to my friends birthday dinner. The result will let me know whether or not I can drink! It'll be 12dpo. When is everyone else testing?

OP posts:
Luxlisbon82 · 15/07/2013 11:23

Af due friday so prob sat if it doesn't turn up! getting nervous

EnglishBreakfastTea · 15/07/2013 11:27

Hi Tea1sugar, [wave!] I think I'm going to try and wait until at least Friday morning although my sensible side knows that will prob be BFN as AF isn't due until Sun - never done it before though so I'm a bit excited! You must let us know what your result is - fingers crossed for BFP! Grin
