Looking for company! I'm 1dpo now (I think) and already feeling nauseous.

We're TTC#2, DD1 is 10 months, still bf so some luteal phase issues .

We hit all the right days with dtd I think so fingers crossed.

Anyone else?

Cake I am going to try and wait until as close to next thur (when I'm due) as I can. I spent £60 on tests last time, we are going on holiday on the 27th, I'd rather have a couple of nice meals out!

Will poss test mon/tue though. I'll see how long before I crack.

Doctorhappy · 18/07/2013 19:23

Am really going to try and wait until I'm late - I'm due on thurs so have decided that I will test on Saturday if still no AF... I haven't got any tests at home so at least I don't have that temptation! This week before I'm due is always the hardest, so difficult not to obsess over every tiny sensation...
Have you guys all stopped drinking completely? We are going out for dinner on Saturday an would love a glass of prosecco or wine, is that bad?!

Vikkijayne2507 · 18/07/2013 19:30

Hi Poopy no it isnt it stands for Ovulation predictor kit, it means I am going to ovulate in the next day or so so I have to keep dtd I did it th elast two days as well. It monitors the surge of hormones before a egg is released, I wont know if ive been successful for another 12 days or so so mydates got a bit mixed up

poopyisapig · 18/07/2013 19:58

SOrry Vikki, I didn't realise! I thought I read somewhere about people using ovulation testers as pregnancy testers.

Doctor - I am abstaining totally, but only because I am so paranoid after the MC. I haven't even had any tea for three months so I can avoid caffeine! A glass of wine won't hurt at all.

Cupcake11 · 18/07/2013 20:03

Doctor - I'm not drinking during my two week waits but it's only because I'm such a worrier. I'm sure a glass of wine is absolutely fine - according to the NHS it is anyway. Ooo, I could just go for a cold glass of prossecco now!

Cupcake11 · 18/07/2013 20:09

Oh, and my boobs are sore. Yey! (Ignoring the fact that they are this time every month)

Wildwaterfalls · 18/07/2013 21:11

Hurray for sore boobs !

Abstaining from alcohol and caffeine here too, just being super cautious. I have actually been stressing about whether the heat, and all of the running after DD/pushing buggy in the sun can do any harm ! Promised myself I'd be more relaxed this time...

Vikkijayne2507 · 19/07/2013 08:52

Well I still haven't had a temperature rise hoping I will ov today dtd last night and 2 days in a row before that so I really hope im Oving today or my cycle is getting all over the place. I have really tight feeling sorta like cramps but not im hoping it's a sign of ov alongside sore boobs

Doctorhappy · 19/07/2013 09:02

Sore boobs all round! Was definitely one of my earliest symptoms last time, before I even knew I was pregnant. I remember one of the main things I noticed last time days before I tested was the complete absence of cramps - normally I get bad period pains in the pays leading up to my period. I'm convinced I feel cramps today but period isn't due until wed so think I must be imagining it!
I really need to get my caffeine intake knocked on the head having read your posts - I'm still drinking two coffees a day and keep thinking I will give them up when I know I'm pregnant. I did this last time though and ended up with a terrible caffeine withdrawal headache for the first few days of knowing I was pregnant which spoilt it a bit! Today I'm just going to have one coffee...
Vikki fingers crossed you've already ovulated, might be an idea just to keep trying for a day or two more just to be safe?!

pxmx · 19/07/2013 11:29

Hi all re joining after a few days away have just caught up with all your posts and am so happy its not just me going through all this!! Doctor i wouldn't worry about 1 glass of wine i'm still drinking during the tww but only the odd glass when out to dinner etc, i think its hard enough the odd glass of wine wont hurt and will probably help you relax.I'm also due on thurs but not testing until sat (hopefully) although i do have tests and its taking all of my self control not to start peeing on them now!! I'm swinging from being full sure im preggers one miniute to, convinced i'm not the next this is by far the worst tww ive had:( My main symptom is bloating my stomach has literally blown up i'm convinced i even look preg! This is def new as i dont normally suffer this & i have not changed my diet at all, i'm just wondering has anyone that's been preg before had this as a symptom early on??

sleepcrisis · 19/07/2013 13:01

Lots and lots of symptoms all round! I don't have sore boobs though and I did with 1st pg. but I only really remember them startin to hurt the day edited period was due so there's still time!

Pxmx - are you constipated? I was with 1st pg and remember feeling really bloated too - I think constipation is an early pg sign.

Not sure I can wait a whole week to text !

pxmx · 19/07/2013 13:06

Also how could i forget the last few days ive been needing to pee constantly (just been reminded by needing to go AGAIN), i have a bladder the size of a peanut at the best of times but this is something else! Ive been getting up twice a night and peeing like a racehorse! Could this be a symptom this early? If it is i'm slightly afraid that i will be spending my whole pregnancy in or near a bathroom!!;)

sleepcrisis · 19/07/2013 13:42

Yes peeing lots defo a symptom. That's another symptom that I'm missing :(

poopyisapig · 19/07/2013 13:44

Sleep - don't worry not everyone will get all symptoms. I know how hard it is. I am driving myself crazy!

FWIW, I am pissing like a racehorse too - but then I drink 4ltrs of water a day so I always do

Not long until we all find out I guess.

pxmx · 19/07/2013 13:55

Hi Sleep not constipated (thankfully) just bloated. I dont have sore boobs either and i normally do (i think) around this time before af, so i'm hoping this is a good sign! Its so hard trying to remain sane but your all helping, just knowing its not just me is comforting :)

sleepcrisis · 19/07/2013 14:01

I do on the other hand feel really really sick! Have done for about 2 days. And re peeing, I'm definitely not going that often but I am finding it really hard to keep in when I need to go! Not sure if that says anything...

pxmx · 19/07/2013 14:05

Sleep feeling sick must be good??? I'm the same re peeing, when ive got to go ive really got to go!! Quiet frustrating when you've got to go a hundred times a day!!

InMyShreddies · 19/07/2013 14:21

Hello everyone! Well I'm due on Tuesday and need some group handholding and help to resist peeing in a stick direction before then.

We only dtd ONCE this month and it was the day before I think I ovulated! Have totally convinced myself I'm pg despite not officially trying til August Dh will be proud of his super-sperms if I am but annoyed at lack of, erm trying!!

I wish I'd kept some kind of symptom diary from last time. My tummy feels weird from too many crisps probably and I'm peeing all the time lots of water here too and my main symptom is that I was so shattered a few days ago that I slept almost 12 hours overnight and napped for an hour in the day too, 2 days running! That's a symptom right? Plus I can't get comfy at night as my tummy and legs feel weird, which is like last time.

Probably all in my head though! Good luck everyone x

Wildwaterfalls · 19/07/2013 14:37

Welcome shreddies!

Wow lots of symptoms on this thread. Anyone want to have a guess at how many BFPs we will have on this thread? I reckon at least 5 with all these symptoms

And who is due to POAS first?? I'm definitely going to hold out until Thursday or Wednesday or maybe Tuesday

OP posts:

pxmx · 19/07/2013 14:43

shreddies your nearly there just a few more days! I know how you feel resisting the urge to poas is sooo hard! Ive also been really tired but just put that down to being extra busy, diddnt think of it as a symptom fingers x it is!

Doctorhappy · 19/07/2013 15:56

I bet 4 BFPs by the time the week is out! I'll be one of the last - due on thurs so will either find out then when AF arrives or will test on Saturday.

No symptoms at all here!except being too bloody hot but think that's me and everyone else in the country at the moment!

Cupcake11 · 19/07/2013 16:15

I'm going to guess at three BFPs but hopefully it'll be more! I'm due to test on Monday but as I need to give a stool sample (TMI) for something else that might be enough to handle first thing in the morning!

Baby dust for everyone. Good luck with the bfp:-)

argylesocks · 19/07/2013 17:54

I think I'm out :( Getting pretty bad cramps already and AF not due till Mon/Tuesday. I was really hoping cycle 8 was going to be the lucky one.

Wildwaterfalls · 19/07/2013 17:55

Oh sorry to hear that argyle. Any chance the cramps could be something else? Still keeping my fingers crossed for you.
