Yip also 10 dpo! Let's hope our cosmic paths have the bFPs for both of us shortly.

To be honest if I am not pregnant then I am losing my marbles... But that is also possible!

SoMuchFruit · 07/10/2013 18:50

I hope so. Bloody cosmos. It better pick the right path. convinced am not now. Hope you are!

Choccywoccydodah · 07/10/2013 18:54

Aww the 2ww is crap isn't it!!
Maybe early somuchfruit. My tests are all 10s, so hopefully they'll pick it up early but who knows?

I'm only in 5dpo, no symptoms here, I started spitting at 7dpo last month so if I can make it to Thursday evening with nothing I'll be 24 hours later Smile

Choccywoccydodah · 07/10/2013 18:55

Spotting, not spitting!! Spitting feathers perhaps lol!

MundayCakes85 · 07/10/2013 18:57

Evening ladies I'm 7dpo so right in the middle of the 2ww- wish it was next week already! FX Crazy- hope you get an answer.
Keep positive Lucy, am thinking good thoughts for you.
Can't believe how fast this bus has been moving since I went away.
Congrats on the BFPs, and FX we get a few more this week Smile

mama31 · 07/10/2013 19:21

I honestly feel for you all.....the 2ww has honestly become one of the most stressful times!!!! Every time I'm like "oh I feel pregnant this time". Eh no!!! You feel pregnant every time!!! :/ bet I do it again this time....somebody stop me!!!!! :/

Somuchfruit..have wine..I swear it cures everything...shame/haste/hurt/EVERYTHING!!And not sure ds craft glitter would work....also you might look like a right wally! Lol

Milknosugar33 · 07/10/2013 19:29

Evening all,

I've been lurking for a while coz the glumness that got some of you already this month hasn't quite lifted from me yet.

I'm half way through the 2ww and don't feel any different to normal and I'm so fed up. We put loads of effort into DTD in my fertile window this month - and haven't touched each other since! And I'm sure it's all for nothing.

I have also been working really long hours and was totally knackered at the weekend so not much fun, and now I am still at work and it's 7.30pm! Boo!

As for FB pg notes - mine is non-stop with those and new babies. Someone quite close had a baby at the weekend and I am so genuinely happy for them, but at the same time stories of how unbelievably amazing it is to be parents are getting me down a bit as well.

Sorry for being on a downer. Today is the first day I have thought a little bit positively... and that was just 'at least I'll get use out of my £60 fertility monitor next month'. Oh dear! I'd gladly never use it!

MrsB2013 · 07/10/2013 19:46

Here's the link to the home sperm test!!

mama31 · 07/10/2013 19:48

Milknosugar I know its so hard not to let it get you down and I was that glum person all of last week....but you have to keep positive and believe that it will happen....perhaps not as soon as we would all like it to happen...but its gona happen and when it does it is gona be so appreciated...and the excitement is gona be (as I've said before many times) IMMENSE!!!!! But yes I know...being patient is not easy (I'm so bad at that), but we gotta let fate do its thing and trust that there's reasons why its not happening right away....and there will be reasons it happens when it does happen :) that's what I keep telling myself :)

mama31 · 07/10/2013 19:50

Awh mrsb don't tempt me....my dh would have a fit if I said "ok I'm loving the sex plan....now how's about a wee sperm test?" :/ but.....its not off the cards...I might have to consider...... Lol

mama31 · 07/10/2013 19:51

DH reply would be "sure I've got supersperm, I won't be needing that!!!" Lol

Bloumer · 07/10/2013 20:00

Milk sorry you're feeling glum. I'm also a little blue this evening - I think I'm about 15 dpo and got a bfn yesterday using a 10miu ic. But the problem is I don't know if I even ovulated - as I still haven't had AF since I came off the pill 6 flaming months ago! So the fact that I'm 'late' means nothing.

I'm trying not to symptom-spot but every little thing is getting my hopes up. I feel like I've had a cycle as my symptoms seem to be falling into some sort of pattern (sore boobs around what may have been ovulation and now again 2 weeks later, among many other things) but still no AF or BFP.

I feel like I need a plan - perhaps I should do digi opks and start temping, but I'm so sick of peeing in a yoghurt pot every day! Last month's plan was to be relaxed about it, I didn't do opks and enjoyed drinking and relaxing on hol while dtd every other day. If that hasn't worked then perhaps it's time to break out the big guns and go to the other extreme.

Is it the clear blue digi opks you all use? And what about apps? I'm not sure if I can use them if I don't have AF data to enter.

Meanwhile my sis is in her 7th week of pg...

Grrrr!
Sad

Bloumer · 07/10/2013 20:03

Got Wine now, f*ck it

MundayCakes85 · 07/10/2013 20:17

Bloumer have you been to your GP yet? 6 months is a long time post pill. Wine will definitely help.
Sorry you're feeling a bit crap milk- at least we've got mn so we're not alone in the craziness! Hope you feel better soon x

onelifeonechance · 07/10/2013 20:44

Milk and bloumer I feel for you, I've been in the glums and it's horrible, especially when you keep hearing others baby news, it can feel like the world has it in for you at times! Sometimes I think we have to go through these times, but hold on to the thought that you will come through this. I thought nothing would lift me, all of last week I was like a bear with a sore head and whilst I knew I should think positively I just couldn't. But time passed and it really helps knowing others feel the same and not everyone gets their bfp so easily, even if that's hard to believe at times! We WILL get there, keep believing Smile

onelifeonechance · 07/10/2013 20:48

Bloumer I used the cb opk last month and splashed out on the monitor this month. I like them because they are easy to read and there is no ambiguity in the reading. But they are expensive. Others use the ones off the internet and are fine with those, sure someone will guide you on them if needed. I don't use any apps so can't help there either. But what I do know is having a plan helped me, feels like you have a bit of a handle on it and you're doing what you can, may help you too, good luck Smile And enjoy your wine Grin

SoMuchFruit · 07/10/2013 20:57

Clinks Wine with Bloumer.. also have wine. Good thing I have no cigs.. this would be prime "Emergency" cigarette territory.. Eastenders, wine and Tiffin squares will have to suffice.

SoMuchFruit · 07/10/2013 20:58

Choccy I've felt all along that I don't think am pg. Oh well, at least the sex was fun Grin

mama31 · 07/10/2013 21:02

Enjoy the vino ladies....you deserve it :)

MarlenaGru · 07/10/2013 21:14

Thanks! Hope we both are!

Milknosugar33 · 07/10/2013 21:48

Thanks ladies. It's a good job I have you or I think I'd be going stir crazy!
I really appreciate your support.
I know it's all fate/a waiting game/que sera sera etc. but this month I'm just feeling it a bit more. There are babies everywhere I turn except in our house!
But actually, I'm being dramatic. We're lucky to have good jobs, a good home, a good relationship, good families and good health. And they say the best things come to those who wait...
Right, that's it. Consider me slapped round the face with a wet fish (which I've quickly thrown off the bus to avoid the smell!)
Sometime it will be our month, I hope. And well done to everyone who is having that this month.

Oooh, just a thought, but could we include the cycle no. for the BFPs in the list choccy? Might give a bit of perspective to see not everyone is lucky first time?! What does everyone think?

Oh, and just to prove I am still a bit bonkers, does that sperm test work?!

Milknosugar33 · 07/10/2013 21:52

P.s. somuchfruit - I've had three cigs in the past week. Bad me, but with work so busy and ttc so much on my mind something had to give!

And really feel for you Bloumer. Hope your wine treat has helped!

MrsB2013 · 07/10/2013 21:59

I think we all have down days when ttc, everywhere you look there are people announcing pregnancies and newborn babies, our time will come ladies!!

Think positive

WE WILL GET OUR BFP'S!!!!!

onelifeonechance · 07/10/2013 21:59

Well done Milk, that's the spirit! Smile

onelifeonechance · 07/10/2013 22:00
