Cycle #2 Due to get AF on thurs 13th, but on day 4 of spotting, thought it would stop at 3 days and be possible implantation bleed but very unlikely now. :-( will find out soon enough!

missmrsmummy · 11/02/2014 20:04

Ah sorry for the bfns and AFs Thanks

mama I resist because I can't face getting a bfn! I'd fine getting AF less soul-destroying than a bfn so I just wait and AF has already arrived every cycle so far!

Rhi I was just wondering the same re: exercise - I've just got back from Zumba and think that any chance of a sperm meeting my egg has just been shimmied off the dance floor! Can't be good in allowing the little thing to attach Hmm

SybilRamkin · 11/02/2014 20:06

Ok I have cramps, which is too early for AF normally - could it be implantation pains? overly hopeful

I don't have any other symptoms though - no sore boobs, no tiredness (other than the usual 50-hr week fatigue), no dreams.

When's the earliest I can test? AF is due on 17th.

mama31 · 11/02/2014 20:11

Sorry for the bfn Hibou!

I find af soul destroying, at least when I get an evap...which I do with IC's every time...I can pretend that it might develop in to a real line...yes I'm a total lunatic!!!!!
DH is attending the docs tomorrow to arrange sperm test! He's so nervous! But I am so glad he is being proactive about it, nervous as well though!

KittyVonCatsington · 11/02/2014 20:29

Oh my goodness barmy! Let's hope catgate won't stop this month's BFP! You got me thinking how much our two cats have potentially interupted/delayed DTD -let's just say, numerous times! Is this what it is like when you are TTC#2??!!

barmybunting · 11/02/2014 20:44

Kitty, that made me laugh! I've lost DH to studying anyway, so I am taking advantage of the cat's warmth tonight Smile. It must be worse with two! No catgates allowed when ttc!

DH gets performance anxiety when our cat babies are in the room!!
Re exercise I think during the tww we should just carry on as normal. I'm still running 3/4miles a day, 3/4 times a week. When I get my BFP though I will tame it a bit, especially after my mc. I'll still run but not as far and at a slower pace. Don't want to get crazy fat when upduffed!!

barmybunting · 11/02/2014 21:24

All of this talk of exercise is alarming me... I have done hardly anything beyond walking a few miles since we moved about 6 weeks ago! I have to get back into a routine... But I keep telling myself that BFP is round the corner so it's ok to wait. That is not a good attitude! You have all prompted me to start running again tomorrow.

RhiBee29 · 11/02/2014 21:41

Google would have me believe that during the tww we should be confined to a padded cell...a few more cycles and I'm sure we'll all end up in one together poas until our hearts content! I'm just going to slow down a bit and tame the Wine consumption.

Zermatt · 12/02/2014 04:27

Glad your cat got down ok Barmy! An unusual way to take your mind off things :)

I am 4dpo today, when I got my crosshairs on ovufriend I was so pleased, I was convinced that I hadn't actually ovulated the month before so pleased that this month everything has confirmed that I did and also that we dtd at the right times. I'm already thinking if it doesnt work this month I will look into reflexology and vitamins for me and DH! TTC have made me realise I am a control freak [lol] 10 days of waiting to go, this month I promise not symptom spot (too much).

Mumsnet is great for tips and as a place to make you realise you are not the only one feeling like this, I have only spoken to my DH about ttc, and even he doesnt know the half of whats been going on in my head..

Good luck to everyone poas this Friday

BingoBango85 · 12/02/2014 07:01

Woke up at 3am with period pain in abundance! No AF yet, but bound to be along today. Hmm Pretty gutted actually. We put so much effort in; especially after last months freaky early short AF. Sulking

EnglishGirlAbroad · 12/02/2014 08:18

I've woken up every morning with very mild period type pains, I'm only 7dpo and scared stiff the witch is on her way. They usually go by the time I'm up and about. HATE the tww!!

barmybunting · 12/02/2014 11:48

Do you normally get that after ov English?

Sorry Bingo, I hope it isn't af. When is af due?

I can only laugh today, instead of DTD last night, DH and I ended up having a disagreement last night. I should have just stayed chatting to the cat Smile . I remembered to use the flashy opk thing this morn and it gave me a blank face so either I've oved between the flashy face over the weekend and today, or the flashy face over the weekend was a fluke! I don't think I've oved yet based on other signs so hopefully not!

Ive been lurking but decided to post because I think ive just got my BFP or 3 BFP's to be exact Grin on the cheapy amazon tests.

AF was due on sunday but didnt come, I was impatient and tested then but it was negative, still no AF so testedagain this morning and got a BFP didnt quite belive my eyes so did 2 more tests just to check and both had 2 lines.

I cant quite believe it and am still convinced that the sore breasts and back ache mean AF is on her way

Writerwannabe83 · 12/02/2014 12:06

Congratulations!!!!!!!! Smile

Is it for your first baby and have you been trying long???

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 12/02/2014 12:10

Thank you

Yes first baby although I do have 2 step children.

Been trying since November when dp had a vasectomy reversal

Writerwannabe83 · 12/02/2014 12:23

Oh wow - how lovely!!!! I bet you are over the moon the reversal was so successful and you fell pregnant so quickly!! Very exciting news!! Congratulations again!! Smile

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 12/02/2014 12:25

Am in shock to be honest im scared to be happy in case the tests are wrong, how daft is that???

barmybunting · 12/02/2014 12:36

Smiling that's brilliant, congratulations! How fabulous that after the reversal it didn't take too long either.

OP posts:
EnglishGirlAbroad · 12/02/2014 12:54

Barmy, no not normal really. I just think my body is screwed! Absolutely no other symptoms!! But its still early i guess.

Smiling thats lovely news! Very exciting! Congratulations!!

ZippyBoo · 12/02/2014 13:00

I need to talk, I have a little spotting, it is a little too early for AF. I thought my breasts were swollen the last few days but if this is implantation bleeding I could not have already had symptoms and if its not its game over for this month. I've not been on the pill for many years, I'm 36 and never had mid cycle bleeding before. Maybe I'm not as regular as I thought as I've never been so aware of my cycle before.

I'm 10 days post ovulation and as you can probably tell, I'm going crazy here. I poas last night and it was a BFN.

I'm only on cycle 2 of ttc but last month was much easier as nothing out of the ordinary was noticed to even remind me I was ttc and the 2ww whizzed past. This 2ww is torture!

I'm trying to keep calm and carry on in the good old British way. Sad

ZippyBoo · 12/02/2014 13:01

Congratulations Smiling!!

toots123 · 12/02/2014 13:15

Im 10dpo too zippy and had brown yesterday and a wee bit today. Hoping this is a good sign! When will you retest? Im thinking Friday x

toots123 · 12/02/2014 13:16

Brown cm that should read haha

ZippyBoo · 12/02/2014 13:24

AF is due on Sunday so I will test Monday, if I can wait that long Confused. I have run out of cheap sticks so need to acquire some more from somewhere.
