Hi girls!
Welcome to the newbies!
I think I've got my dates mixed up, I thought I was due on on Sunday but I think it's today. Have pms symptoms n massive boobs but I don't want to get my hopes up.
I also was naughty and did a test Friday, it was negative n I feel really down now!
How is everyone? Xx

broodysnoopstie · 12/11/2013 11:23

Hello Jenny.. Eeek when are you going to test?? Smile
I'm now in my 2ww it's so hard not to symptom spot isn't it!

broodysnoopstie · 12/11/2013 11:25

ps. I mean test again don't be discouraged by an early bfn!

Jennyallan86 · 12/11/2013 16:04

I don't know, I think I'll try and waited long as i can, but my will power is seriously put to the limits!
Aww good luck, it feels like an age doesn't it!
I'm constantly looking things up!!

ChicMissLotty · 12/11/2013 16:44

Hey,

Very new here, joined up yesterday. Not had much chance to look over the site, but from what I've read I'm very excited to be part of such a supportive community.

New to the whole TTC thing too (around 3 months and no luck), go easy with the abbreviations Smile.

So massive Hi to everyone!

Vickyvix · 12/11/2013 20:48

Hi chic welcome to the madness!

I lost you all for a bit, took me a whole to find you again!

broody glad you got your fixed, hope you've managed to DTD lots.

jenny sounds good, I would hold out as long as you can to test, easier said than done I know! But a bfn is always going to be disappointing. Don't give up yet though, wait until AF is late and this might just be your month.

hibou I'm sorry to hear you're going to have to wait a while, but I agree with wood you should keep up with the prenatal vitamins etc and get lots of DTD practice in and then you'll be good and ready for when you start ttc again.

Fingers crossed for all those in the 2ww Grin

woodwaj · 12/11/2013 21:02

Hi all.

good luck jenny stay strong and wait to test!

Where has onelife gone? She must be near the end of her 2ww now?

Welcome back vicky been a quiet weekend! Hows the morning sickness?

Welcome chic. Good luck, do you know where you are in your current cycle?

I finished my clomid yesterday and im going to start dtd today still think its a bad month with oh away next week

Vickyvix · 12/11/2013 21:24

Hi wood I'm feeling much better thanks, still feel queasy when hungry but so far so good, it was just a couple of horrendous tube journeys to endure - hoping I don't get any more.

How was your long weekend?

I just found one on the December bus, think she's nearing end of 2ww so have everything crossed - am sure she'll pop in soon to update

Is your OH away over likely ov time? Remember those swimmers can last a few days, not sure how long he's away for but you could always DTD just before he leaves and then as soon as he gets back

woodwaj · 12/11/2013 21:44

He goes monday morning next week for 1 week. Trying to dtd up till he goes and as soon as he gets back but I cant help thinking im buggered!

Glad the morning sickness isn't too bad. Is it right ginger biscuits are meant to make it better?

Weekend was good thanks! Goes far to quickly :(

onelifeonechance · 12/11/2013 21:45

Im here! Sorry been quiet, not been on as much recently as found helps time go bit faster&stops me obsessing, but still need to obsess sometimes!!! Af due thurs, def think I'll be seeing her, not being negative, just don't feel anything this month& started getting af twinges this aft. We'll see but think month 6 is knocking on my womb Hmm

Woodwaj, good luck&know it must be so hard knowing oh is away good part of this month but just go for it as often as you can and as V says the swimmers can survive a while, fx for you.

Hello to chic&anyone else that's joined recently Smile I need to read back to catch up properly butBroody&Jenny, hang in there, the 2ww does have an end in sight even if it does seem v far away at times! Fx for you Smile

ChicMissLotty · 13/11/2013 11:06

Thanks for the welcome all!

Hope you're all feeling bright and positive this morning!

Wood - AF was just last week so early on in my cycle.

Does stress really have an impact on TTC?

Keep positive Onelife, good things and all :)

broodysnoopstie · 14/11/2013 11:17

Hello Chic welcome to the group!

Jennyallan86 · 14/11/2013 12:42

No I'm 3 days late I think! But I do think that its going to arrive, got a lot of cramps.
I think I'll test tomorrow.
I know its hard isn't it, just try and keep as busy as you can.

broodysnoopstie · 15/11/2013 10:17

onelifeonechance · 16/11/2013 12:18

onelifeonechance · 16/11/2013 12:19

OMG - typo! I have NOT done my dad!!!!! Blush Its supposed to say I have done my sad bit!!!!! Stupid auto correct!!!!!!

onelifeonechance · 16/11/2013 12:46

Broody - that's supposed to say when's test day??

I give up!

broodysnoopstie · 16/11/2013 13:55

One haha that made me laugh out loud I'm glad you haven't done your dad! Sorry AF got you but glad you aren't feeling too sad. I'm only 6dpo so got ages yet going to test a week tomorrow... trying desperately not to symptom spot as it makes me obsessive failing miserably though Jenny any news?!! Hope everyone is doing a-ok xx Smile

woodwaj · 16/11/2013 20:48

Hi all, sorry had a really busy week!! ive started watching the walking dead and cant stop

Sorry about AF onelife, but remember that Christmas BFP we are all getting! I'm also really glad you haven't done your dad!! ha ha

I'm hoping to ovulate soon as I don't have much chance before OH goes away. I have bought some cheap ovulation tests today - only 5 and they might not even work for me but I was curious. I was trying to explain to my OH that the negative OPK I had today was a good sign because normally my hormones are constantly high so it must be working for me to get a low...he didn't get it though so hope that makes sense.

Excited to hear from you Jenny pop in soon!

Hows things Vicky

onelifeonechance · 16/11/2013 22:03

Ha! Yes I know i'm desperate for a baby but I draw the line at incest!!!! Grin

Broody hope the rest of your wait speeds by (unlikely but I do hope it for you!) &woodwaj hope you ov v soon, do as much deeding as you can just in case!!

kelli10 · 16/11/2013 22:13

So, looking to start ttc after next af. While a september baby would work best for us in terms of maternity leave and finances, trying to fall pregnant over the festive period means i'm worried about drinking when i shouldn't. How soon after af can i expecg to get a bfp if we're lucky enough to fall first time? Thanks in advance.

woodwaj · 16/11/2013 22:33

Hi kelli. You have a 2 week wait from ovulation to your period thats the time when your in limbo really. However you learn that down the line you limit things you want and your not preg anyway. I like to think of all the women that get pregnant and don't even know and they are ok. Just have everything in moderation I suppose!

kelli10 · 17/11/2013 06:24

Thanks wood, i know you're right. I need go stop worrying really and see what happens. I guess having fallen really quickly with my first i'm really hoping the same will happen again. With my endomitriosis, it's probably unlikely, but a girl can hope. Good luck ladies.

woodwaj · 18/11/2013 16:29

If I post a pic up of my ovulation stick could anyone help with the results of it? Im on day 3 of ovulation sticks defo darker than previous days but is it dark enough?

broodysnoopstie · 18/11/2013 19:43

I'll take a look!
