Thanks onelife! I'm ok really and your right we are entering the fun part so that will perk me up ;) I haven't warned DH re the pedaling....want to keep it for a surprise ;) hahaha!!!! just to see his face really!!!!

DH is so broody at the minute....well actually he has nbeen for a very long time....but more now than ever, I am too but he is so so broody! I've never seen him want something so much! Just makes it hard sometimes to see him like that and not get a bfp! Also so so many people around us are announcing pregnancies....some even with twins!!! and I'm thinking "twins! I only want one!!!! I'm not even being greedy! Just the one would be perfect!" I know that's silly and I'm super happy for everyone who is pregnant as it's such a special blessing! But you know what it's like just wanting it so much as well!

But hey, I know all you ladies feel the same way! I'm just venting!!! Anyway must dash......have some pedaling to be getting on with ;)

Onlymydogunderstandsme · 14/01/2014 12:46

Hello Everyone,

Congratulations to all the BFP's!

I have had no internet access for the last week which seems to have made the 2ww even longer!

On CD35 today, I thought AF was due Sunday but it was yesterday going by last month. Decided to do a test this morning and it was BFN, however after getting a bit upset realised the line hadn't appeared in the control window! Too scared to do another one today so will wait until the morning I think. For the first time ever I actually poas, when I was testing for DS always did it into a pot doing the test that way and I think that might have been where I went wrong!

sazzlehopes · 14/01/2014 13:09

SMF - nice to see you in here. You need to get in the KOALA peddling plan! Hope allis ok with you..holiday sounds really nice - sunny one or snow?

Mama - venting is always good, looking forward to hearing what your DH thinks about the peddlaing!

Well at 5dpo approx i googled implantation pains...i need a slap! It was one small twinge i felt, gawd after 14 months you'd think i'd learn! Must not test til next friday Must not test til next friday Must not test til next friday Must not test til next friday......

mama31 · 14/01/2014 14:08

Hello SMF! I'm doing ok thanks!! Where are you off to on your hols?? Af has finished so I'm just getting back to the fun part ;) still wishing, hoping and praying for a bfp so much! I hope your doing good and excited for your holiday! :)

mama31 · 14/01/2014 14:10

Sazzle hello! Yes venting has helped feeling better already!!! Google is just too accessible....i google everything from about 1dpo :/ really hoping it's your month lovely!

sazzlehopes · 14/01/2014 14:19

Arggghhhhhhhh MAMA!!!!! Goggle is a nightmare. Seriously a quite moment at work and i'm straight on it, why will I never learn!!!! Have a lovely weekend dtd xx

mama31 · 14/01/2014 14:28

I know saz I'm exactly the same!!! I wish google crashed and we couldn't search anything in the 2ww!! Try to keep busy to take your mind off it!! Thanks, I'm looking forward to pedaling all wkend :)

mama31 · 14/01/2014 14:36

Is there a Feb bus on the go yet??

EnglishGirlAbroad · 14/01/2014 14:45

Having a little cry... another of my best friends has just told me she's pregnant. That's 3 of my close 4! And i blurted out about my mc (which she didnt know about) and now i feel awful. and sad. and jealous. Sad

mama31 · 14/01/2014 14:57

Awh English I'm sorry to hear your feeling that way! I know it's hard but I'm sure your friend will understand!! All these feelings are natural and can not be helped!! We all have them but it's not because we are not happy others are pregnant, it's just because we want it so much ourselves also....and that does not make us bad people and should not make you feel awful! you are only human my love! Chin up! Xx

sazzlehopes · 14/01/2014 15:10

English don't worry it is completely natural. I cancelled seeing a friend for nye because she announced she was pregnant after just ttc for one month (her second child,) and of course i was happy for her, it wasn't her fault it was easy for her and not for me.... just so sad for myself at that particular time. I feel better now, but sometimes you do need to wallow a little so you can move on. Brew and Cake to cheer you up xx

sazzlehopes · 14/01/2014 15:11

SUCH strong pulling sensation in my tummy - what is going on.... I still can't work out if i'm 5dpo or 7dpo?! Arghh i need to write down these symptoms so i know not to get my hopes up every month!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 14/01/2014 15:31

Thanks ladies... Just had a good moan with my mum and feel a little bit better now. I just wish I hadn't said what I said. I did text her after to apologise. And obviously I'm absolutely over the moon for her.

mama31 · 14/01/2014 15:39

Sazzle! Have you ever had these symptoms before??? I've never had that! And that can only be a good thing!!!! Write everything down, that's what I do so that I can try and keep myself sane.....hasnt really worked though has it?!!! :/

sazzlehopes · 14/01/2014 15:46

I think I have had twinges before mama, but not sure about a pulling sensation. But really i have convinced myself of several symptoms over the year ttc so i should really know better! It is an odd sensation though, like a tug, but surely too high up and too early on to mean anything really if i have my sensible hat on!

Flukewoman · 14/01/2014 15:54

english I'm sure your friend will understand, and it was good of you to apologise. It must be really tough.

sazzle I had those same tight/tugging sensations last week at around the same DPO as you - in fact they felt massively like early braxton hicks to me. I had BH from just after 20 weeks so I am very familiar with the sensation too! Who knows what it could be, weird bodies.

mama31 · 14/01/2014 15:56

So hard to stay sensible in the 2ww though! Impossible actually!!! I'm dreading the next 2ww and I haven't even approached ovulation yet! :/

Treaclepie19 · 14/01/2014 16:14

Hi everyone,
Haven't been on for a while to post, just been lurking.reading all of your comments and my friend text to say shes been to the midwife this morning for her first appointment. Feel just like you in that I'm happy for her but jealous. She started ttc the month before we did.
Anyway, also a bit sad cus of work. A woman I work with made it clear she wouldn't be pleased if i got pregnant as this is my second year there and it would mean changes for her again. She said it as a joke but seemed all too real to me.
Just being sensitive I guess. Sorry to come on and moan!

FX for you all :)

sazzlehopes · 14/01/2014 16:37

fluke - such an odd feeling but trying SO hard not to think too much about it. It's funny i always start the 2ww so well and sane and then it gets about halfway and suddenly i become a loon about every flipping niggle although i swear i won't! HA! oh well...whereabouts are you now in your cycle?

Treacle, if you can't moan here where can you hey? don't worry about work people, they often say things without thinking it through or knowing what you are going through, especially if work is mega important to them and they are not in that zone of wanting a family. tough if it is not 'convenient' for her when it happens, it's your life and you need to be happy! Smile

Treaclepie19 · 14/01/2014 16:58

Thanks sazzle :) You're right. It just gets difficult being in that environment. I need to step back and think about me. It doesn't help that I've been the youngest there until this year and I think nobody expects me to be TTC for another 7/8 years.
A family is the most important thing to me though. Also having our parents around would be lovely. MIL is terminally ill so we don't know how long we have with her.
Anyway! Fingers crossed the BFP's carry on :)

Flukewoman · 14/01/2014 17:09

sazzle I know the crazy mad feeling, I remember it from last time, and it's amazing what 'symptoms' are a normal part of a cycle which we never notice when not TTC. Last Friday I was curled up at home with really weird sensations - like tension and tugging in my abdomen - and I remember thinking, well, if I'm not pg then there is something REALLY WEIRD going on. I'm CD 22 now and AF is due any time now for the next week or so. What we thought was a fairly safe day to skip using protection turns out to have been one of my fertile days now that my cycle can be short. I actually had a second line on an IC this morning but having asked on here and googled I'm almost completely certain that it was a weird evap line as it was so far away from the control line. Madness.

DoctorDonnaNoble · 14/01/2014 17:18

Oh. My. God. I'm totally exhausted! I came home in my frees yesterday and have a two hour nap and I feel like a zombie now after going to bed at 9 yesterday!

missmrsmummy · 14/01/2014 17:26

Treacle You're right to prioritise family over work. That woman will simply have to get on with things without you if you get pg!

sazzle when will you poas again?

This cycle is so different from the last - last time we were talking babies the whole time - choosing names and deciding when we'd tell our parents etc. This time we have barely spoken about it! Think we don't want to tempt fate after being so naive disappointed last month!

Am I in the 2ww now? Got smiley on opk Sat morn and DTD Sat, Sun and Mon.

missmrsmummy · 14/01/2014 17:27

Bah! Underlined again instead of strike through!
