Welcome angelsinwinter!

Pinpan I had to take the sides off my daughters cot when she was I think about 20 months.... She's never been a very good sleeper so I didn't worry about that part of it. To be honest although it's not what I planned on I sleep better sometimes now because instead of crying for me to get her in the night she just brings herself into our bed. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and am surprised to find her there!!! Sometimes I do the "why am I desperately trying so hard for another" but then I remember the lovely cuddly baby phase where they CAN'T MOVE!!! Put baby down and it stays in the same place... And of course a newborn is waaaay easier to dress. And then I just disregard the fact that they too will one day enter the terrible twos. Haha!

RedBunny · 07/06/2014 11:04

Well my pregnancy tests didn't arrive today. Which means I can't take one til 12dpo anyway as they won't be here till then!! Although I'm very very tempted to buy a test from tesco or something.... It's very hard to not go do it. I have some cheap strips off eBay but have since read such bad things about them that I'm not sure they'd help me anyway.

blankfornames · 07/06/2014 11:04

Hi AngelsInWinter! Welcome to POAS Anonymous! Best of luck with your 2ww, hope it all happens for you as quickly as it did for your DD!

I'm ttc#1 (had a m/c in April) and AF is due on Thursday. If I can at all, I'd like to wait till the weekend to do a test if AF hasn't arrived but I doubt I'll last that long! It's a tough challenge this tww!! Wink

CatRen27 · 07/06/2014 11:10

My name is catren and I am only 7dpo but caved and did a cheapo test this morning. Obvs bfn! I have a week to go but feeling so ropey I just thought I'd give it a whirl. One pound to the fund!

zoobaby · 07/06/2014 11:17

Pinpan and redbunny you're living my nightmare. I dread the day that DS' cot sides come off!

Fruityb · 07/06/2014 11:25

Well AF not here yet, boobs feel enormous lol. I'm having light cramps so am not holding out or getting excited just yet; She could turn up later. We shall see. Didn't buy a test this morning as not had time. Will discuss with my other half later and see what he says. I do feel different this time but I could just be imagining it!

AngelsInWinter · 07/06/2014 11:39

Catren - I did a test this morning too! Blush if the pill has fucked off out of my system I'd technically only be about 7/8dpo so of course it was a BFN. Thank god for cheap tests!! Can you hold out for another week?! I'm waiting until next Sat. I wanted to wait longer but I'm going out for an all day drinking sesh with the girls so ideally need to know if I'm upduffed or not beforehand!

Fruityb - ooh I'm excited for you! Such willpower! ;)

RedBunny · 07/06/2014 11:41

I hate the 2ww. And I know I can't do anything about it but it seems so stupid that I have no idea what is going on inside my own body! It's mad! My husband keeps asking if I feel like I'm pregnant or suggesting I am every time I am more hungry or anything, and I think he doesn't get that you really can't just 'know'.

CatRen27 · 07/06/2014 11:45

Angels I'll probably wait until next Saturday as I'll be up early on Sunday for a 10k I'm booked in for and should know how easy to take things! Eek. Husband now in the loop and quizzing me about symptoms. Rather sweet!

I'm jealous of your willpower fruityb!

AngelsInWinter · 07/06/2014 11:48

Red bunny, my DP is the same. EVERY time I say something like "Hmm, got cramps again" or "My boobs are bigger!" He announces that I'm pregnant. Pffft. Got PMT more like!

We've only got June and July to conceive to hoping it happens... (Yes, I'm crazy!)

Also re cot sides... DS has his off at 17 months. Disaster! DD1 was 3. Still a bit of a disaster!

wonders why she's trying for baby no 4

AngelsInWinter · 07/06/2014 11:52

CatRen - right, ok, testing buddy! (Unless I get AF before then. Have a feeling it might happen on Friday 13th, it's unlucky after all!!). 10k run, wow. Good luck xx

pinpan · 07/06/2014 13:30

Angels, 4! My goodness. Half past midnight and we've had to resort to putting the cot side back on, putting DD in a sleeping bag so she's less likely to be able to get out, and taking her for a drive. We were supposed to be DTD tonight! Though if DD carries on like this I'll be horrified not pleased if I get a BFP this month. Wine

Good luck on Fri 13th! I think I must be holding out the longest/latest with my aspirational 21st June. some of you will be testing for next cycle by then ho ho

zoobaby · 07/06/2014 14:09

Question. Who would want to be POAS on same day their MIL is staying? I kid you not. MIL will probably be coming to stay for a few days at the start of next week, just as the 2ww should be closing. Think I'll be keeping eye out for AF while MIL is here and take it as a good sign if she stays away.

I suppose it's better that she stays at end if 2ww rather than at ovulation time! Grin

Fruityb · 07/06/2014 15:09

POAS not an obsession yet but going for a wee to see if AF is here yet is starting to annoy me lol

AngelsInWinter · 07/06/2014 17:08

I know! I was SO sure we'd stop at me. Our third was born absolutely perfect and I remember saying she's the perfect way to complete our family Blush damn broodiness!

Good luck with finding the effort to dtd! It's our night off tonight thank god. We've done it constantly for about 2 weeks! Thought we'd have to cover all bases as I have no idea how my cycle will now pan out.

Zoobaby - awkward! Although, surely she's not going to go rooting through bins?! Haha x

AngelsInWinter · 07/06/2014 17:30

Stop at me?? Stop at THREE I meant!

RedBunny · 07/06/2014 18:22

I was always sure id stop at two. However now I'm planning on trying for no3 not too long after no2 is born!!
Can you believe I am planning this and I'm not even certain I'm pregnant yet! I must be. I'm getting very ragey about things. Surely that's a sign too?? Sore boobs, easily agitated, extra hungry. Sometimes I feel a little nauseous. Hmm.... I so want to POAS!!!

GandTnow · 07/06/2014 18:38

I tested this morning - stupid, stupid, stupid. What did I expect? Only 9dpo. Have now spent the whole day feeling really deflated.

Bloody ttc - driving me MAD!

Fruityb · 07/06/2014 19:40

I feel.... Weird. I can't put my finger on it, I just feel strange. I'm still quite dizzy, feeling a little ill and my boobs feel sore and mahoosive! Few cramps here and there but no AF just yet. I'm trying so hard not to overthink it but according to my app I've only had one 27 day cycle since coming off the pill, and normally average about 25. I'm on 26 today.

I've not felt this odd before getting my period and am in two minds as to whether I'm just getting ill or I should POAS.

Tomorrow will make my mind up!

pinpan · 07/06/2014 20:11

POAS! You have permission. Grin

zoobaby · 07/06/2014 20:13

So fruity are you still sans-stick?

Fruityb · 07/06/2014 20:16

Still sans stick yes. I need to go out in the morning so will sort that then!

I have OPK sticks and read they can sometimes give a result but I think I'm clutching at straws there lol.

ladyflower23 · 07/06/2014 21:03

Oh fruity cannot wait for you to poas!!! You are so strong not to have given in yet. An inspiration Smile

Fruityb · 07/06/2014 21:26

Oh don't use words like that I'll feel like I've let people down if AF turns up lol

ladyflower23 · 07/06/2014 21:49

Sorry!! Don't feel pressured into being pregnant!! I'm getting overexcited for you. Still a week till I can poas!
