O'd yesterday! Anyone fancy joining me on a 2ww?

linzlinz don't knock having no symptoms! Better than feeling sick the whole time! It is early but most pregnancies go on to be healthy and I'm sure yours will too

Same with you cheryl! 6 weeks already? That's gone quickly! Thanks for stopping by!

limp ovulating in a Dublin - great timing Hope you have a lovely time there, it's a great city. So pleased you're feeling more positive!

As for me, CD14 and a flashing smiley just in time for the weekend . That's brought my fertile window forward 3 days from last cycle so hopefully my ovulation will come forward too and I won't just get shit loads of flashing smiley days!

It'll be 7 weeks tomorrow, almost wishing the summer away for my scan so I know everythings ok!

Hope you dont mind but I'd like to stick around to see how you guys get on.... I'm willing for it to happen.

Thats so exciting mctufty about the earlier smileys :D

Please do stay around Cheryl! You're a good luck charm and we want to know how your pregnancy goes

How are all our duffers and non duffers doing? McTufty did you get a static smiley?

We had a wonderful time in Ireland. A real tonic for me and I definitely feel refreshed and ready to go again. I think I'm 3dpo but not in a state of obsession just yet. Plenty of dtd in Dublin, so will just have to see, and af is due just before we go to Spain, so if it is a bfn at least I have a week of sunshine and sangria to look forward to.

Hi limp! So pleased you had fun in Dublin, and that you have another holiday to look forward to! I have everything crossed that you'll be on the orange juice in Spain but if not at least you have something to look forward to!

No static smiley yet, today is day 3 of flashing smiley! So hopefully next couple of days, it was day 5 that I got my static last month.

I have my fertility MOT next week so bit nervous about that but generally I am feeling happy my cycle seems to be improving and positive about TTC. Let's see how long that lasts!!!

How are you doing Limp? You must be at least 6dpo?

Mctufty did the static turn up? It's fantastic hearing how positive you are.

Hi Cheryl. Was thinking this morning the threads gone a bit quiet.

I think about 7dpo. Ive definitely been more subdued and less crazy this month, less frantic worrying. Symptoms wise part of my brain is convinced I've caught again, boobs today and yesterday are back to their hyper huge sensitive state and covered in big blue veins, but I think it's highly unlikely. Odds not in our favour.

How are you feeling?

Yes, McTufty I wondered if you got your static?

How is everyone else getting on?

It's good to be calm, and your boobs are a good sign!!! Are you going to wait til missed AF or test in a few days?

I felt it'd gone quiet too, I need to hear how you guys are doing!!!! I'm sat here with everything still crossed :)

I'm feeling normal, just having to nap ha! I just want to get to the dating scan really so I can stop worrying for a bit.

Well I did think I'd wait but I imagine the temptation will get too much if boobs stay this way. DP was in the bathroom this morning noticed nips are increased too which is not normal for me.

It's a weird time until the dating scan. I cracked and paid privately with DD as I just couldn't believe I was actually pregnant. How many weeks are you now?

I still feel like I want to pee on sticks so I'll be so impressed if you last ;)

I'll be 8 weeks tomorrow. I figured the kids will be back at school for around a week before i get to scan time.

I'll be impressed too especially as flying on Saturday so I will need to know.

8 weeks! Yeh, then not too long for the scan.

I was thinking it'd gone quiet too! Great sign with the boobs @LimpLettice that was my first symptom, I will keep literally everything crossed for you! Keep us posted on how you're feeling and if you test!

Hope you're feeling ok @Cherylttcagain , not long until the scan now!

Where is everyone else??

Ok, the madness has descended yet again, someone tell me to pull myself together and get on with normal life.

10dpo today. Boobs still crazy, plus mad butterflies, twinges and cramps all day yesterday. Some mild spotting this morning, Flo tells me the exact same day of my cycle as last month. Af not due til Friday. At my age I just can't see another bfp this month but mind is in overdrive again.

I don't know how much help I can be as I'd definitely peed on a stick at 10dpo.

Try to remember anything you feel now could be either af or pregnancy. Tww is so rubbish, good luck in whatever you decide to do.
Also, its totally possible to have a bfp again this cycle, dont give up hope :)

Well what a few days. Trying not to use the thread as a personal sounding board but not doing a great job.

AF got me this afternoon, so out again. Was convinced it wouldn't be this month but still gutted. Not too distraught I guess, coz I was due the weekend and it'll be over now in time for my hols, and I'll be able to guzzle a few sangrias. Also trying to think a normal cycle might be a good thing.

Otoh, my beloved Dad got a cancer diagnosis yesterday. We think it's an early catch and very treatable, but I have spent 24 hours feeling like the sky is falling in. Staying positive as best I can but man it's hard.

Hi everyone!

Firstly limp I am so sorry about your father. I am sure he will beat it but a very horrible time.

I'm also sorry about AF but less sorry about that because it is never nice, but I am certain you'll get your BFP again soon! And at least you can enjoy the sangrias. Having a normal cycle is great and bodes well for next month

8 weeks already cheryl!!! Wow. The dating scan will be here before you know it!

How far along are you now linzlinz? Having many symptoms?

Is kuba still around?

I got my static on day 7! I then got a brilliant temp spike and my chart looks like it's meant to, far more orthodox than previously.

I'm now 4dpo. No symptoms or anything. Just praying my luteal phase is longer, long enough to implant. We did everything possible during my fertile window, so much so I now have cystitis!!!

So sorry to hear you're having a rough time @LimpLettice . Make the most of those sangrias and a bit of time out.

Go for it @McTufty , keep us updated! It will happen for you both soon I'm sure!

I'm 6 weeks today, not really having many symptoms, just a few bad nights sleep which makes me lethargic and energy less the next day, and a rather bloated tummy! Oh and big sore boobs! But no sickness yet thank goodness!

Exactly. Thanks, both. I'm chipper enough, it's just a new cycle is all. And, wine.

McTufty I'm v excited to hear about your static, everything crossed your LP is a good long one this month and the shaggers cystitis is worth it

Not too many symptoms sounds good to me, Cheryl. Avoiding the morning voms makes keeping it quiet so much easier. I can remember sleeping badly then being so shattered in the first trimester with my DD that I fell asleep at my desk briefly waiting to interview, and did a lot of clandestine yawning. Hope you're getting plenty of rest even if you can't sleep.

Sorry, Linz. Not Cheryl. Not much kip last night

So sorry to hear about your father Limp, catching it early is good and definitely gives you some hope. AF always knows to turn up at the best of times :/ not.

4dpo Mctufty! Thats so exciting! When do you think you'll test?

Pleased no sickness yet linz, long may it continue!

cheryl not sure, never got far enough to test before! I think if I make it to 10dpo (my target) I might test to celebrate!! Certainly would test by 12dpo as I'm going away for bank holiday and want to check if I can drink. This all seems a long way away though!

But if some people get positive tests at like 9dpo it must be possible to implant before then anyway I hope? I'm really quite nervous as the time when I could blame short luteal phase on coming off the pill is getting ever more distant!!

I got my faint positive 9DPO/ conception @McTufty I just bought loads of strips from B&M so I could test every day, they're only 99p for a box of 3 and just as good, basically what the doctors use! Can't wait for you to test!

How is everyone getting on?

Hello strippers.

I've been a bit quiet. Only just back from holidays and having a quiet bank hol. So much going on ttc seems to have gone a bit flat for us this month. Fertile window this week, I'm expecting ov thurs or Friday, but I feel pretty negative now even though it's early days. I do think that's outside stuff though and hopefully once the dreaded 40th and dads biopsy are done my mood will pick up. Any news from McTufty?

Hi all!

limp often things can happen when you're not as focussed so fingers crossed. When is your 40th, are you having a party? All the best to your dad for the tests.

How are you getting on with your pregnancy linz?

Not good news from me sadly, didn't make last 7 days past ovulation last cycle and I'm pretty upset about it. I've upped my B vitamins and am now taking vitamin e which I read about so we shall see about this month. Also having reflexology this week. I am CD9 so not much happening yet anyway!

Apparently in due course Clonid to help me ovulate earlier in the cycle is an option, I didn't know that it was used for people with lutea phase defect but apparently it is, so there are options. Just sad really that it looks like it might be a struggle, I was hoping to be one of the ones to catch easily!
