Halfway through my TWW and looking for company. Anyone in the same boat?

I've still got about a week to go before I can POAS. DH and I have been trying for about 5 months, but I have very irregular cycles so it's all really hard to judge. I usually go about 2 weeks between periods so following that, AF should be due to arrive before the end of this week. But I'm thinking that would be too early to test and am very impatient! I've also been taking agnus castus this month on the advice of a medical friend so I'm feeling tentatively hopeful. Anyone around who wants to wait it out with me and not read too much into every symptom and definitely not take a test every day this week?

birchygoo · 23/05/2015 10:21

any tests due this weekend?

Icklepickle101 · 23/05/2015 10:42

Thank you for your kind messages,

Is anyone in the 2ww / due to test?

findingmyfeet12 · 23/05/2015 11:23

I'm in my tww but I've tested already. I've just got a feeling that the result was correct it's a bfn so I'll just wait for af now. Roll on the next cycle.

diamondsparkles · 23/05/2015 11:25

finding - you may just have tested too early. Fingers crossed for you. Any more symptoms?

findingmyfeet12 · 23/05/2015 11:59

I'm just feeling a bit down. After 7 years of ttc the chances of 3 cycles of clomid working seem pretty slim and I know I'm just setting myself up for a major crash.

Sorry to sound negative but I'm having a crap day. I'll come back when I'm feeling more positive.

haquoi123 · 23/05/2015 12:35

Oh finding, I'm sorry. Don't feel bad about getting down here though, that's what we're here for. Thinking of you.

diamond, camping is going well. I made the most of being able to drink yesterday (not drunk, but merry - I don't hold alcohol all that well!) so feeling slightly groggy this morning. Still no AF though, cd37! Again, a good thing with the camping, but limbo much!

diamondsparkles · 23/05/2015 13:51

finding - sorry to hear you're feeling down, vent here if you want to. Look after yourself xx
Glad you're having a good time haquoi!! I had a few drinks last night too! Enjoy today too

diamondsparkles · 24/05/2015 08:44

Morning everyone Smile
How is everyone today?
Cd9 here so have started on the ovulation tests - hope my body decides to ovulate this month Smile

Rememberallball · 24/05/2015 09:10

Morning all,

Thanks for the kind words about my dad. He's very much missed.

Cd31 here. Interesting what Birchy said about d21 bloods possibly missing ov. I was recording temps just to start the chart and give ff something to work on for the comparisons and it changed my ov date from earlier in the cycle to last week. My temps this weekend have been higher still - am up over 37c this morning though was later temping today as was up in middle of the night for a wee so went back to bed and got another 3 hours sleep - nothing to do with the Bulmer's Blood Orange cider last night of course!!

Haven't got any hpts with me here so, if I decide to test, I'd have to go to town to buy one!!

Congrats to you, Ickle.

haquoi123 · 24/05/2015 09:20

That's exciting remember!! Can't wait to hear how you get on!
Are you temping as well diamond? Fx for ov!

No AF still, although it looks like the cm might be dying down today. Will test again tomorrow morning. I'm now feeling the tiniest bit guilty about drinking again yesterday - these two days have been the most I've drunk in such a long time (again, not getting hammered or anything). At the same time, surely is have had a bfn by now...! Cd38, 8 days late

diamondsparkles · 24/05/2015 10:03

remember - high temps sound good! Are you going to go and get a test?
haquoi - don't feel guilty about drinking - if you test tomorrow and get bfp (which I'm so hoping you do) the little bean in there won't be affected as it has not yet attached to your blood supply so don't worry. When I found out I was expecting ds on a Sunday I'd been out on the Friday and had a few drinks and he is totally fineGrin. I think you enjoying your weekend and relaxing is really good for you anyway.
No I'm not temping, have thought about it but think dh would think I'd totally lost the plot! Got the clearblue ovulation tests so blank smiley this morning, hopefully that will change over the next few days.
birchy - how are you?
finding - how are you feeling today?

Red193 · 24/05/2015 11:39

I'm cd23 and am now paranoid that all the symptoms I'm noticing that are common in early pregnancy are gonna result in a BFN. My boobs are really painful still and (tmi) I'm very windy. My smell aversion is still quite strong and I feel quite nauseous but I'm wondering if I am over spotting because I know we are trying. Sorry for the rant x

Rememberallball · 24/05/2015 11:59

According to ff I'm only 9dpo so think it might be a bit early to test for another couple of days but, while we're in town today, I'll get a hpt just in case af doesn't make an appearance in the next few days!!

diamondsparkles · 24/05/2015 12:55

red - how long are your cycles usually? I know what you mean I always say I'm not going to but then end up symptom spotting. It sounds positive though so fingers crossed. When will you test?
remember - exciting!! Really hoping for you

Red193 · 24/05/2015 16:49

Diamond - 27 days up until the last 2 which were 29 x

Red193 · 24/05/2015 16:49

No more idea when to test x

haquoi123 · 24/05/2015 22:59

Another bfn here, but I wasn't sure if I saw the faintest shadow, but then it went and I couldn't see anything. Will try again tomorrow morning, but haven't got my hopes up. Last time this happened I was at least spotting by now...

diamondsparkles · 25/05/2015 08:09

Morning everyone Smile
haquoi have you tested again this morning? Good luck x
How is everyone?
Still negative on ovulation test for me but only cd10 so I expected that

Greyhorses · 25/05/2015 08:27

Hi!

I'm CD28 and desperate to test however I think I ovulated late (CD20 Hmm) so I'm trying to wait another week. It's killing me though as I just want to know.

I'm expecting BFN though as I feel like AF is coming and have had typical period signs, although I bet its late to keep me wondering.

Good luck everyone!

diamondsparkles · 25/05/2015 08:35

Hi greyhorses!
I bet you are desperate to test! Good luck! Let us know when you do test. Have you he any symptoms?
