Am 29, TTC 1, cycle #1... After much silent stalking of threads on here and research DH and I have this week just decided to start trying. Very excited and also a little bit nervous about this (potentially) long journey we've just started out on!

Roll on 7th May... anyone else in a similar boat/care to join me? Smile

Hi all, this is my first post too... Decided to pop on to make sure I wasn't going crazy! TTC since December and have found myself constantly symptom spotting - you name it and I've somehow managed to turn it into some sort of sign!! Please tell me I'm not the only one who goes nuts in the TWW?!!

I'm currently in TWW and AF is due 2nd May - I'm resisting the urge to test as BFN's are so disappointing.

Good luck to everyone in their TWW!

Just starting, cb monitor arrived too late to start! But pink pad said i should have ov'ed yesterday and cm agreed.

So fingers crossed that Sat 11th doesn't curse me!

Been trying for 16 months now with 2 mc's so looking for some good news.

Congrats Chicken, sticky beans awanted this month!

Hi all, can I join please? Just about to start 2ww, think I ovulated yesterday or possibly friday, af due 6th may, rather short luteal phase going by last month so have been popping b complex vits this month to see if it makes any difference! This is gonna drag! Good luck all :)

Beansprout30 · 27/04/2014 23:18

YoniLive0nce · 27/04/2014 23:49

Hi all, another that would like to join?
Just starting 2ww, cycle #1. AF due 12th may.
Anyone else a bit scared of getting bfp?! I'm so nervous & excited at the same time! Blush

Bfn for me this morning at 10/11 dpo. Used FRER. So disappointed :(

nickelbabe · 30/04/2014 15:14

Popple85 · 30/04/2014 18:30

Sorry to hear that Monkeybubbles... but don't give up yet, it's still early days and hope is not lost til AF arrives!

Welcome to all the new people who have joined Smile

I'm 8DPO now and have had stomach pains and bloating- am trying so hard not to symptom spot but it's impossible! AF is due 7th May but I might test a couple of days early, will see how long I can hold out.

Hope everyone has had a good day!

Sorry to hear monkey. Have a glass of Wine tonight & don't think about it too much x

I'm only a few days post ovu & I'm already symptom spotting! How long after conception would there be symptoms? I know it's impossible but I've been having some cramping & felt a bit sick all day.

impatientlywaiting14 · 30/04/2014 21:43

Hi Popple85 and everyone :) Can I join?

I am ttc#1 on cycle #3. I'm on cd18. I had a positive opk on cds 13-15. Not sure if i count from the first day of positive opk or from day after i got a posotive opk as to how many days past ovulation I am. At least i know i am on the two week wait now though :) how is everyone

Popple85 · 30/04/2014 22:07

Yoni, this website has loads of info about early possible symptoms and breaks it down into individual days: www.countdowntopregnancy.com/early-pregnancy-symptoms/symptoms-by-day-past-ovulation.php

Hi impatient! :)

YoniLive0nce · 30/04/2014 22:27

Oooh thanks popple!

Hi impatient, welcome to the 2ww :-)

impatientlywaiting14 · 01/05/2014 20:45

Hi Popple thanks for the welcome and the chart very interesting cue (more) obsession starting lol :)

Hi Yoniliveonce thanks for the welcome how are you?

How is everyone else getting on ? xx

YoniLive0nce · 01/05/2014 21:56

Good thanks impatiently, been really busy at work so that's taken my mind off the 2ww, which is good as I'm slightly obsessive!! Grin

When is your bfp due? x

impatientlywaiting14 · 01/05/2014 22:38

That's good, glad your mind is occupied with other things and lol i know all too well about being obsessive :)

i have been of work for over a year due to illness then redundancy. I am looking at going back now my health is a bit more sorted, so the wait doesn't feel even longer as it feels im just sitting around waiting for things to happen. I'm torn though as i was diagnosed with endometriosis last year and have fertility concerns. The endo makes me very tired and affects dtd im finding ttc very hard work, goodness knows how you and those at work keep up with it!. I want to do whats right for my o.h and hopefully future lilttle one by getting a job add some nice savings behind us (while saving my sanity in the meantime not having soo much time to think about it!). I am really concerned though, that what already feels like is going to be a long journey will become even harder to navigate around work and we may miss our chance if that makes sense anyway sorry to waffle on. xx

BFP or as i look at it Af due around the 10th is varied a day either way since coming off the pill in jan xx

Wishing you luck yoniliveonce, poppet and all on here lots of baby dust :)

impatientlywaiting14 · 02/05/2014 21:25

Ok so im probably over thinking things but last night for the first time ever the need to pee woke me up? i usually just feel the urge once im woken by the o.h work alarm or wake up naturally myself. I have been feeling a need to pee more generally. Also felt sick today when i started to eat and very tired and have been crampy/had a feeling of pressure the past few days but its eased up now. Its not unusual for me to feel tired and i don't know if the other symptoms are due to my ibs. I have been drinking more lately so the feeling of needing to pee would make sense with the extra fluid intake.

would do you ladies think?

Popple85 · 02/05/2014 21:58

I've had similar symptoms but not sure if it's all in my head! How may dpo are you?
