Hi ladies, was away over Valentine's and the dreaded 2ww starts today. I have a feeling it's gonna be a long 2 week's lol.

Fingers and toes crossed for everyone :)

lucyfluff · 17/02/2014 20:48

Awww thats good to hear mama, I cant believe cycle 9 already. I hope all the tests come back clear for you and its just a case of catching that egg at the right time. Smile practice makes perfect hey!!! lol

Yes we are finding out at the next scan, hubbie would love a girl but Im just glad for a healthy baby. This will be our last one so I will try to enjoy it Grin

SaRaRaRaRa · 17/02/2014 20:49

Hey everyone, hope you've had a happy Monday! No rain here today, amazing!!!

Moonbeam, hope you had a fun, romantic valentines weekend!

Am being naughty and symptom spotting. Sore boobs is usually a good sign for me, they feel a bit sore at mo but only because I have spent all day prodding them to see if they hurt Hmm

Choccywoccydodah · 17/02/2014 20:55

Awww Lucy. You enjoy it! We said we'd find out next time too. We didn't with ds and it was fab, but I am so impatient! Grin
Thanks mama, would be lovely to have a November bubba, I'm a November bubba too Grin
Hopefully your dh's swimmers are ok and it's not too long for you. My friend took 10 months, it's weird isn't it? You Dtd the right time and everything and it just doesn't happen. I'd love to know why!

mama31 · 17/02/2014 21:07

Thanks Lucy! Yes I think I'd like to find out too!! So exciting! Please let us know when you find out I'd love to hear!!! So glad it's going so well for you and no doubt you will enjoy every second :)

Choccy I know, we have been dedicated to the cause from cycle 1 with no joy! But I am a firm believer that it will happen when the time is right and it's meant to be.....it just feels so right now though, hoping I haven't much longer to wait! Nature is a strange thing I guess....just have to leave it up to fate and be.....whats that work....patient!!!! Oh how I struggle with that!

Moonbeam83 · 17/02/2014 21:35

Thanks SaRa we had an amazing weekend just wot we needed. I will be prodding mine soon that bit did make me lol :D

SaRaRaRaRa · 17/02/2014 21:55

Glad you had a fab weekend!

amylou85 · 18/02/2014 06:06

Looks like I'm jumping on. Currently having horrendous cramps, thank you Mother Nature! After 10 days of spotting too, thinking it was my new lighter AF and my body was finally settling 5 months after coming off the pill! Going to go see doc, getting ridiculous now! Wish there was a march express train to ovulation instead. :-(

GoWestcountry · 18/02/2014 09:00

How is everyone doing? AF arrived yesterday for me so we can get started soon. I've been really impatient for this but now the time is here I feel pretty anxious and worried that something will go wrong again. Someone tell me to get a grip please!

mama31 · 18/02/2014 09:00

Sorry Amy! It's so frustrating I know! I get pre af spotting as well....its hateful!!! good luck for March!!

1dpo here!!!! Snore....zzzzzzz

GoWestcountry · 18/02/2014 09:03

Oops I meant to post this on the other March bus thread! Sorry!

Im Gowestcountry ttc #2, cycle 1, starting again after a TFMR last June, hence the worrying.

Choccywoccydodah · 18/02/2014 09:43

There's ANOTHER March bus??? That's not allowed Wink we need to all be in this together!! Grin

gennibugs · 18/02/2014 09:45

Morning all! Hope we are all well!

I am trying not to symptom spot and so far it's going well....mainly because I have zero symptoms. Usually I have a million and one supposed symptoms but this month - zilch! :)

SaRaRaRaRa · 18/02/2014 10:06

Genni, surely that is a symptom in itself?! Grin

MrBsMrsB · 18/02/2014 10:25

Morning ladies,

I've been super busy the last couple days. Which is good I guess. I hope I'm just as busy when the 2ww comes round. I'm only at CD9.

Started my OPKs on CD7 and my results are as follows:
CD7 - Negative (but pretty dark)
CD8 - Negative (lighter than CD7)
So my question is this: Is a negative a negative regardless of how dark the line is?
My cycle is 26 days long and last cycle, I got 3 positive OPKs on CD11, 12 & 13. With that in mind I'm starting a marathon of BD tonight.

Also, I don't know whether I'm taking the ttc madness to another level - but have any of you ladies ever thought that you might be part of the teeny weeny percentage of ladies that are having a period but are still pregnant.

This month, despite getting a BFN and AF turning up - I felt very different (symptom spotting) and thought "well some women still have a period after successfully getting pregnant". I've managed to erase such theories from my mind and accepted that I need to get on with this cycle, but its made me feel like I might be going a bit do-lally Confused

Anyways.... I have the stats update, shall I put them up or wait a few days..... Our first BFPs are not due for another week at least

noitsachicken · 18/02/2014 11:39

Hi everyone,
Anyone in their TWW yet?

I am 7DPO (so maybe should be on the Feb bus?)
Anyway I am having similar early symptoms to my last pregnancy, dry mouth and metallic taste.
Anyone else get this?

GoWestcountry · 18/02/2014 11:56

choccy Yes it got started before we realised this one had already set off! We were thinking we'd be the slow, stopping service but it seems to have come to a complete standstill now.

gennibugs · 18/02/2014 12:01

sararara I suppose in a way it might be lol. Haha symptoms spotting no symptoms. Typical.

noitsachicken I'm in my 2ww - I think I'm about 6/7 dpo. Those symptoms sound promising! I always read about the metallic taste one!

mrsb I've never used those opks but makes sense to start the bd marathon. Last time we were trying i did toy with the period/pregnancy ttheory i must admit :)

mama31 · 18/02/2014 12:31

Hey ladies! I'm in my 2ww...only just! so not getting crazy just yet!!! But I'm sure after the wkend is over ill be crazy as ever!

Going to dtd one last time tonight just to be sure! But quite certain ovulation is over! Just afraid in case the little eggy is still lurking so will carry on tonight then hopefully get a few days rest!

How is everyone else doing today?? Who's testing soon???

gennibugs · 18/02/2014 12:42

Hey mama - always worth one more for luck!

I had promised myself I wouldnt test until either just before AF due or once late, but now starting to wonder what the earliest I can test and get a reliable answer and whether I should get some ICs. So naughty :)

Thinking about it I wonder if I should have stayed on the Feb bus - but I guess if it doesnt work this month I might get another shot at March and stay here with you all!

Choccywoccydodah · 18/02/2014 14:27

Noitsachicken, not to stamp on your fire, but I had metallic every one of the 3 months I caught, however we didn't try last month and had to use protection and it still got metallic! Not the same for everyone though, but just thought I'd let you know it was a symptom, but not now lol! Smile

Nordicmom · 18/02/2014 14:54

On the 2 ww now and due BFP 2.3. Like I thought . One more for good luck tonight just incase . Will try to forget about symptom spotting unless I get really nauseous or horrendously sore boobs .
Half term now so the kids will keep me busy which is a good distraction I guess . Feeling like it'll never happen but I'll keep in going for now before going back to doctors. Had enough of them to be honest during the 5 y nightmare it took to have DD... Praying for a miracle here

SaRaRaRaRa · 18/02/2014 15:57

MrsB I think with those OPKs that even if you get a dark line if it's not as dark as the control then it's not +ve. Sounds like ov is on the way though so I'd get bding tonight and keep testing!

Noitsachicken - they are promising symptoms. I'm on 2ww too, bit of confusion re when I ov'ed this month but I think I am 5dpo. No symptoms! If I get AF when I expect to at the beginning of March then I should be able to hop on the back of this bus and get another shot at it.

Nordicmom glad you have lots of distraction this week.

Genni I was definitely going to wait until AF late this cycle but am now thinking I might POAS next week, maybe next Thursday as I have a stash of ICs Blush I am the most impatient person ever! Do you think you might test next week?

gennibugs · 18/02/2014 16:26

sara I think I might poas next fri/sat. If I can wait that long! DH is away so would love to give him some good news when he is back on Sunday. Mind you I don't have any ICs left.

SaRaRaRaRa · 18/02/2014 16:41

Maybe I'll see if I can hold off til the weekend too. I should make sure that I am crazy busy all next week to stop me being tempted to POAS early! Let me know if you cave sooner Wink
