anyone else in the 2ww but absolutely not symptom spotting this time?

Last month I drove myself nuts with symptom spotting and early poas. I had every sign and symptom going and was convinced I was pregnant. Luckily I kept a list of all my many symptoms on a calendar so this time if necessary I can remind myself that pms has all the same same features as early pregnancy.
I'm determined not to test until 23rd, as I think I should come on then if I'm going to, must stay strong!! Anyone want company in ignoring the whole thing?!

I'm sure you're gutted Sad but your dh will only be feeling exactly what you are and he will also be sad that you seen it as well.
do you have to test tomorrow?

fuzzywuzzy · 09/05/2015 09:21

I have to test every day till AF shows.

doomkittycleo · 09/05/2015 11:21

I'm so anxious right now because me and DP have had an unsettled few days and now I have ewcm. Think I have little chance of getting him to BD cus he's still being cold with me. We're going to Barcelona on Monday to celebrate my birthday but I'm really worried we'll not have chance to BD cus he's not "feeling it" right now.

fuzzywuzzy · 09/05/2015 12:45

Doom couldn't you seduce him? Make up sex is pretty amazing and if it coincides with the right time of the month then even better. Wink

doomkittycleo · 09/05/2015 13:34

He doesn't do make up sex, never has. He just pulls away and says he's not in the mood.

birchygoo · 09/05/2015 15:11

doom I know this feeling - happened me in Feb, but I spoke with dh after and explained to him what we missed out on and now I hope that he understands it wont happen again. so maybe try talking to him?
also I sometimes just suck it up and say sri just for a simple life

doomkittycleo · 09/05/2015 16:24

Not a case of saying sorry. We didn't fight as such. The amount of time I spent sobbing about bfn the month before last really worried him. He is worrying about how well I cope with stress in the future if we make this commitment. He's scared that every time things get tough I'll lose it.

He's starting to come round. I'm at my mum and dads this evening, but hopefully things will have settled down by the time we get to Barcelona. I just hope I don't ovulate early this month as it will probably take a couple more days for us to get back to normal playful, fun relationship ; ewcm has appeared earlier than usual so just hoping everything will be ok.

FattyFishwife · 11/05/2015 22:14

well, ladies....guess whos back with an update......

to cut a long story short....unexpected (slight) bleed at 8+4....visit to the BEP clinic showed a blighted ovum :( had to wait 10 days for a rescan, which confirmed the diagnosis, so i was taken round to the ward to...well do what needed doing.

this was on friday (when I would have been 10 weeks)....so.....im back on the trail of the holy grail of the 2 pink/blue lines again....or I will be once my bloody discharge has stopped (not very romantic that stuff!!)

hope everyone is well and hope that in my 9 weeks absence, there have been some more BFP's and causes for celebration xxx

fuzzywuzzy · 12/05/2015 07:40

Oh Fatty I am so sorry for your loss.

I got a BFP last thursday then a BFN every day till yesterday when I got a BFP and BFN this morning, I'm using a clearblue advanced fertility monitor and to be honest I'm feeling a bit scared as to what is happening. Sad

birchygoo · 12/05/2015 10:11

fuzzy how strange - could there be a fault in the monitor? Are you testing at diff times of the day?

fatty Im so sorry for your loss - am glad you have come back for some support xxx

fuzzywuzzy · 12/05/2015 11:38

I'm using the same batch of tests, was given a load at the hospital and I've been testing at the same time every morning using FMU, according to instructions.

I've got a banging headache this morning, think I had a high temp too.

Af due on Thursday according to app which is very accurate (I thought I was due on Wednesday). So guess I just sit tight.

Even when I was looking for a BFP, this month has completely thrown me.

FattyFishwife · 12/05/2015 19:38

thanks for the lovely words ladies

hope you get that BFP that stays on the monitor fuzzy...must be so frustrating and confusing for you ((hugs)) xx

fuzzywuzzy · 13/05/2015 16:31

AF has arrived, consultant said it looks like I had a biological pregnancy (guess that's a chemical pregnancy). At least I know I can fall pregnant. On the other hand I wish I didn't know I'd lost the pregnancy this may sound precious but it hurts like a real loss to me. I feel stupid for feeling so sad.

Fatty I hope you go on to get your bfp too and have a safe pregnancy.

birchygoo · 14/05/2015 17:49

fuzzy it does not sound silly at all to be so upset - its a much wanted pregnancy and all of us would feel the exact same in your shoes - so please do let yourself grieve!

I'm so sorry AF arrived! Angry

FattyFishwife · 15/05/2015 00:55

Doesn't sound silly at all hun. It was something you have longed for, and had...no matter how brief. Its still ok to feel loss and/or grief sweetheart. Just try focus on the positive news that your nbody has confirmed it still works. ...thats how im coping with my mc anyways ((hugs))

FattyFishwife · 15/05/2015 01:03

I have to legitimately poas in 3 days time as per protocol after my mc....for the first time in ages im not excited/nervous/anxious as I know this is just a routine thing before they ring me and do my phone appointment and see how im getting on after it.

I do have to say that old habits die hard and ive had moments where ive SWORN my boobs have been tingly....but I know it must be my.mind playing tricks as I would have had to haven got pregnant after the 'baby' had died but before I started bleeding, Which is a gap of about 3 weeks...and impossible. ..but like I said...old habits and all that!

fuzzywuzzy · 15/05/2015 12:10

Fatty good luck with the testing I hope you get the result you're looking for.

I've no symptoms and AF is more spotting and watery looking when it should be full on at this point. I'm tired and worried and I've made a doctors appointment he's calling me back at some point as no appointments.

No pain or anything just sad and tired and stressed. Sometimes nature is cruel.

doomkittycleo · 16/05/2015 23:15

So, we're back from Barcelona.

Had ewcm until Tuesday, a bit of creamy cm on Wednesday so thought I had already ovulated, BD'd Wednesday night, then had more ewcm Thursday pm, fairly confident it wasn't semen due to consistency. Then had creamy cm again Friday.

According to my ovuview app, I was due to ovulate on Friday.

This is based on my post pill cycles which have been 25 days, ovulating around day 16, therefore with a short leutal phase up
Last month which was 28 days and I am now on day 17.

No idea what to expect this month.

I'm back for another serene and dignified 2ww.

doom I hope you had a good time in Barcelona, as well as all that bd'ing.

that's a real blow, I hope you're able to be very gentle with yourself for a while.

I am sorry, love. That really sucks.

I had a consultant appointment today to go over my most recent bloods - as I expected they all came back normal. So I'm carrying on with low dose aspirin, and high dose folic acid, and am to get in touch with the rcm clinic if and when I get a bfp.

This is my 2nd return to this thread since I started it...hoping to see good things for all of us!

Temperamental, we only BD'd once on Wednesday night and it was after a bit of creamy cm, so unlikely to have caught i.

It was my Birthday while I was away and I came home to a letter inviting me for a smear, happy birthday to me eh!

Sorry doom I read your post wrongly. Shouldn't attempt to read and write late in the evening.

2nd friend this week has just announced their pregnancy. The one today started trying the same week as me. Why is everyone pregnant except me :-(

fuzzywuzzy · 20/05/2015 16:42

Oh doom, I'm so sorry. I hope it happens for all of us.

DP keeps telling me it will happen at the right time, I've been prone to bursting into tears over the past week, the chemical pregnancy really knocked me sideways.

I guess for me the positive is at least I know I can fall pregnant.

Doesn't stop hurting and wanting it so badly.

So far monitor is showing I'm nowhere near ov this month.

FattyFishwife · 20/05/2015 22:27

((((fuzzy))) (((doom))) and anyone else who needs a (((hug)))

to you from me with love.

Im still spotting after my erpc...Im desperate to 'get back on the bike' as it were and capitalise on my 3 months of uber fertility that supposed to come after an MC....trouble is hubby is squeamish about the bleeding (we never have sex ever when AF is visiting) so its pretty much off the menu till i stop bleeding.....could take another 2-3 weeks!

doomkittycleo · 20/05/2015 22:59

Fatty, I find that exercise helps my af to end quicker, think all that bouncing around gets things moving quicker. Maybe go running a couple of times a week till the spotting stops.
