This 2ww is dragging even more than usual, I'm only on cd18 of a 33day cycle Sad

Anyone else in the 2ww needing some support?

First time round the gp had to confirm so I could raise my thyroxine and did say that testing early (even though I was past af) could cause disappointment as they might get a negative. I think I was 6 weeks till I got a positive with them. But I had issues getting thyroxine up at that point and was too chicken to raise it my self.

Af will be either today or in the next couple of days; might test today then leave it as I'm at work till Friday.

NiceCuppaTeaAndASitDown · 10/01/2017 07:18

A week until AF is due, and I can hear some very strange gurgling noises, strange, pinchy, cramping and I'm extremely bloated.
I'm trying to convince myself it's because I ate too many smarties yesterday and not early symptoms! How's everyone else doing?

HighlandMcChancer · 10/01/2017 07:54

Me too Lindsay I got a BFN the other day so AF due tomorrow and just want it done so I can get on with next month! Although part of me secretly is hoping that I got a false neg and I'll be late retest and get a BFP

Twizzletoes · 10/01/2017 09:07

Congrats on the BFPs and good luck to those still waiting. AF came yesterday so I'm out. Looking ahead to the next chance to try and trying to stay positive.

Poppet8583 · 10/01/2017 09:25

I'm out this month too as AF arrived this morning. I knew it really but I'm annoyed I wasted a test! From now on I'm not going to test early and I'm not going to buy any until I think I need them - if they're in the house I'll just get tempted! Good luck to those still waiting to test.

yellowpostitnote · 10/01/2017 09:46

Good resolve poppet!

Sorry about AFs.

I sense af coming as all my muscle aches have gone which always happens a day before. I don't get period pain but my joints do suffer from the progesterone and relaxin surges.

So I will be 40 if and when I next conceive!

Pinkbottletop · 10/01/2017 09:47

Sorry about the AFs all.

Poppet I think that's a good plan

Addtothechaos · 10/01/2017 10:55

Hello.

Can I join you all?!

Congrats to all that have the Bfps so far! Fx for the rest of you!

I'm officially in the limbo that is the tww. 1 DPO today! I already have a 6 and 3 year old so this will be baby no.3 for me! Would love a sept/octobeter baby this time as other two are spring and early summer! X

Addtothechaos · 10/01/2017 10:56

October(can spell, honest!) Blush

Lindsaymarie89 · 10/01/2017 11:37

AF has arrived!!!!
Atleast im no longer in limbo!
first cycle off the pill done, time for some serious chartage this month :) good luck everyone waiting to test! xxx

HighlandMcChancer · 10/01/2017 17:28

I'm still waiting for AF! Don't want to poas again after the bfn so just going to hold out a few days as she should appear tomorrow!

Bubblegum89 · 10/01/2017 17:43

Got some light red/pink blood when I wiped this morning. Put a tampon in but only had a small bit of brown discharge and had nothing since. Getting some very slight cramps and weird feeling in my right side, definitely think af will be here tomorrow. Unless I've implanted ridiculously late (12dpo) which I know is extremely unlikely lol

AFireInside · 10/01/2017 18:17

Today is not a good day on our thread Sad. AF (sort of) came this morning and I am expecting her to up her game tomorrow.
I am definitely OPking and temping now!!!!

Bubblegum89 · 10/01/2017 18:24

Same fire I'm currently sat in bed with very obvious af cramps, eating truffles and feeling very sorry for myself. Here's hoping we both get some luck next month! How long have you been ttc?

Icklepickle101 · 10/01/2017 18:56

I'm out.

Half tempted to skip this month as after 2 years of not drinking I'd love a drink on my birthday this year, but I know I'd kick myself for wasting time.

Why isn't there a magic get pregnant pill?! Sad

NiceCuppaTeaAndASitDown · 10/01/2017 19:12

Sorry icclepickle bubble and fire. I hope you have better luck next month

AFireInside · 10/01/2017 19:25

ickle Sorry about AF. When's your birthday? Mine is in 3 weeks, it has really come around quickly!

bubblegum I hope you feel better soon. AF hasn't properly kicked in yet but tomorrow I think all hell is going to break loose. We have been TTC since November, which isn't long but still feels like a long time. How about you?

Cuppa thank you Smile.

I hope everyone has had a good day, despite AFs. Ive just had some melted white chocolate with some mini blueberry toasts - so tasty!

stepmum88 · 10/01/2017 19:37

Lots of sad news about AFs 😞😞 Blueberry toast sounds phenomenal. Having read lots, I've come to the conclusion that the best way to get pregnant is to not actually want to - seemed to work when I was younger for lots of people , what do we think ? 😏 FX for everyone- baby dust is in the air 😊

Bubblegum89 · 10/01/2017 19:42

Thank you fire I feel the same, cramping is definitely af, I've got a feeling I'm in for a treat tomorrow Confused I've only been trying for a month so very early days yet. Hope tomorrow isn't too bad for you!

stepmum I've been pregnant twice. Both times were completely unplanned (but slack with the ol' pill!) and I got pregnant very quickly after not being on birth control. Never knew anything about opks and charting and fertile windows! Who knows, maybe for some, that is the best way!

user1471495191 · 10/01/2017 20:13

ickle perhaps you shouldn't worry about the drinking and just see how things go. With dc1 I was convinced I wasn't pregnant the month I finally did fall, and ended up having a very rare heavy night on homemade daiquiris the night before we got the positive test. This time round I've just gone with the flow and tried not to restrict myself too much...

Icklepickle101 · 10/01/2017 20:28

Birthday is 6 weeks today so I'd definitely would know as period would be 2 weeks late!

Positive vibes to everyone strting cd1 today!

AFireInside · 10/01/2017 20:31

Yes I think it's Sod's law!! I can't believe how many years I spent on the pill trying avoid getting pregnant and now I actually want to, it's not happening!
bubblegum Did your symptoms become really obvious when you became pregnant?

user homemade daiquiris sound good!

Bubblegum89 · 10/01/2017 21:22

fire I didn't really have any symptoms before my bfp's. I missed a period and my boobs became unbearably sore but that was about it. The first time, I just had a feeling. The second time, I knew what very sore boobs meant and I'd missed a period so tested and got a bfp. It wasn't until I got bfp's in both that I started getting proper symptoms like nausea, fatigue etc.

stepmum88 · 10/01/2017 21:25

Is there a possibility of getting a BFP if you are just getting dizziness? #smallhope 😕 x

Bubblegum89 · 10/01/2017 21:46

stepmum I would say that until you get af, there's always a possibility of a bfp :) I know plenty of women who had no symptoms whatsoever and a missed period was the only reason they tested
