Pull up a chair for the 2ww...

[Tea1Sugar]

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

Thanks guys I know you may be right, in some ways the bfn made me feel better as I was totally stressing about it, now if it does end in a positive it's a totally unexpected bonus!
With my dd my boobs killed but I was not sure what to expect as it was a first pregnancy and didn't test until I was about 8 days late and with ds I just new I was pregnant and tested on day af was due and got the BFP. I kind of feel like that now all the same symptoms ect so feel a bit daft thinking I was pregnant when I'm not!! But like you say it may still happen.
writer did you get negatives before you had the positive then?

Layla - a girl would be nice, but a little brother for DS would be equally good! We will find out, I'm not good with surprises, and would rather know and get it sorted in my head. :)

ELR - don't write yourself off just yet, it's a bit early to say, and we all have differing levels of HcG anyway!

Meant to add - my boobs were ridiculously sore when I was first pg with DS and hadn't yet had my BFP, my nips were so sensitive that I couldn't even shower facing the water! Boobs make great baby weathervanes IMO.

GnomieGrace I am sorry to hear AFs arrived. On the plus side you can get your cocoa fix

ELR - I was testing for the entire week before my period was due, sometimes even twice or three times a day! I was obsessed! I was getting negative after negative after negative

When I eventually got my BFP it was either my 2nd or 3rd test of the day. The 1st test of the day which I had taken with FMU upon waking had come back as a BFN. My eventual BFP came at about 4pm

Writer, you've given me such hope!

Just done another test and negative! Thinking how nuts I was and then just read your post writer feeling so much better even if I don't get a positive at least I'm not the only obsessed Poas person in the world!!

I'm not proud of how desperate I was, I easily got through about 25 HPT until I got my BFP. And then, when I got my BFP I took about another 5 'just to make sure' I'm currently 9 weeks pregnant and even thought know I'm pregnant I have still taken a few tests here and there over the last 4 weeks, just for reassurance . I just love seeing that line!!

I'm glad I gave hope but don't turn insane like me, haha

Hi everyone!

VJones nice to see you chilling out and telling eeryone else to be patient ;-) hehe...you know you wanna join my 'test when AF is two weeks late' club really :-D

ELR I hope you get your BFP when you test again...sounds like a Saturday test could work well, so you know AF is late by then?

Layla fingers crossed pains are nothing serious, and hope you're wrong about AF looming too.

International few hours BDing sounds like a fun afternoon ;-)

Everyone who's out for the month, hope September bings better news.

I went shopping today and cannot believe the price of some of the pregnancy tests!! Surely they were cheaper 5 years ago?!?

Anyway, DH persuaded me to stay firm and not test until 14th at earliest as planned...it's 3 weeks away still, feels so long! Can't quite work out if I'm late already or not, will be by then I guess, lol.

Argh! Wish I'd just bought one, getting impatient now! Haha.

PS - Writer ...I assume you weren't peeing on shop bought sticks? You'd be bankrupt :-p

Refoca - most of them were Internet cheapies However, if I convinced myself I could see a line I would go out and buy a CB or FR test and pee on that! That then resulted in me learning that I had not seen a line

Since getting my BFP I have 'checked again for reassurance' about 10 times, all of which were done with CB or another store brand.

My husband would hit the roof if he knew how much I've spent on pregnancy tests over the last 2 months

Refoca Just waiting until af due date is good for me! But the way I see it, it's putting off potential heartbreak x

And I'm doing so well to ignore my 'symptoms' this week. Have told myself they're caused by pill withdrawal and am not getting excited!

:-o writer!

Ha ha! Thank goodness my IC tests won't arrive until around Thursday and even then I'm not poas until Sunday! Give me strength!!!

IF when Sunday comes its a bfn, remember this is just your first cycle, and you'll be able to begin a second cycle with full throttle

I know you're right, Tea. I will be heartbroken, I won't lie. But I have managed to calm down a lot and have convinced myself not to get hung up on symptoms.

Like tea said, vjones, it's just your first month trying. We've been at it 3 months now, but I think I'm only just now getting to the symptom spotting and all that.

That being said, there's still hope for this cycle, but since there's nothing you can do but wait for AF's due date, try to relax and take a load off. Find something to distract yourself with. If you don't fall pregnant this month. Are you going to be this obsessed next month, too? It's too much reassure to have for 2 weeks of every month, especially if you've only just come off the pill.

I will be obsessed to an extent because I'm that sort of person but it's worse this month because I'm off work. Next month I'll be back to being busy and stressed at work.

Ahh, I get the same way. The long weekend is killing me, and I'm off work tomorrow and weds, too! Luckily I've got a few big events coming at work to focus on soon, but it doesn't help now, does it? Hence posting on here all the time!

Aaaand, I think that's officially me out for this 2ww with spotting bang on schedule for AF arrival tomorrow; I'll see you all in September

Sorry to hear that wispa but like you said see you in September!

Oh wispa, how annoying. Ah well, approach September with gusto!

Right, who are the stragglers still on the August bus,then??

Hi Refoca. It was indeed a fun afternoon.. We spent around 3.5 hours in bed (Big smile)
I watched corrie this evening as well where Kylie had her baby and although it wasn't real it made me think if I do get pregnant I'm definately opting for another c/section. xxx

I want a natural birth so badly... but I'm diabetic so may end up having a c section for medical reasons :(
