Hey girls as we are about to get thrown out of our thread I have started a new one so we can continue manically looking for EWCM, sore (.)(.)s and orange feet whilst chanting 'in with love, out with BFNs'.

Come on over/in

So sorry for being dumb but can someone please put me out of my misery and tell me what 2ww stands for. Ive been pondering for 3 days now.

spookykitty · 23/10/2007 12:12

two week wait the time from ovulation until you can test to see if you are pregnant

could be longer or shorter than 2 weeks mine is 11 days for example

some impatient people test before the day AF is due (I know some people eh )

Cheekster · 23/10/2007 12:18

2 week wait - of course - now i feel even dumber

07mumstheword · 23/10/2007 12:51

Some impatient people test 4 days before AF. I'm going to resist that this month though

fairysnuff · 23/10/2007 13:17

Hello all, did ya miss me?
My computer is down for the moment (bloody BT) so I am on my mums at the mo, but haven't had a chance to read through, very far.
DG I am getting some of that brown stuff too. Really thought AF would turn up this morn but no, still just brown.
I am going to hold out until saturday to test, too, but I reckon she will turn up for real before that

Then again, it could just be implantation??

spookykitty · 23/10/2007 13:17

I've had a BFP 4 days before AF is due though

I'm trying to be good as well NO TESTING

07mumstheword · 23/10/2007 21:49

Only yesterday I was thinking I hadn't seen you about for a while fairysnuff Hope BT sort your computer out soon.

I've got crampy pains and I've been evil today sure AF on her way.

pixie04 · 24/10/2007 08:36

Morning ladies,

Hope everyone is doing okay this morning.

Nothing to tell from me. I had cramps all day yesterday but my OPK was BFN so we'll have to see what today brings. CD 15 no symptoms waiting for OV.

digitalgirl · 24/10/2007 11:26

Nothing from me either! Stronger cramps this morning, and still a bit of brown CM, could be like this for a couple more days before AF really shows.

pixie04 · 24/10/2007 12:06

brown CM but no AF DG sounds suspicous to me when did you do your last HPT? I think you should do another one tomorrow morning. Its sounds more like implantation than AF. Do you normally get brown CM a couple of days before AF? I do but thats because I have Endo apparently.

I keep getting really bad cramps which is very strange, they are really quiet strong as well.

digitalgirl · 24/10/2007 12:31

haven't had this many days of brown cm pre-af. most af's this year have been full on heavy red b@st@rds (as was the last one after 41 days).

not going to test till saturday as i genuinely think AF is just being weird because it's such a long cycle, hormonal imbalance and such. if i wasn't ttc, i'm sure wouldn't think anything of it.

digitalgirl · 24/10/2007 12:34

pixie just checked your cd on the other thread.sounds like you're gearing up for an ov soon. You on the opk's again? Drink loads of grapefruit juice to boost your ewcm!

GryffinGhoul · 24/10/2007 12:50

hello everyone! This thread moves sooooo fast!

Congratulations to Libralady we are so happy for you!!!! (and hoping that your fertility rubs off on the rest of us ). You'll need to keep popping in here to update us on your progress.

Dg, Bucky - Are you still meeting up in London? I'm coming if I am still invited!! I have emailed Bucky on her secret address about meeting up!

Excitable - Ia m exactly the same about resisting glasses of wine. i am rubbish at saying no and really enjoy a wee glass at the end of the day .

Pixie-4 - LOL at getting down to it early. I made DH do the same yesterday and say with a pillow under me listening to the radio for 15 minutes afterwards trying to drink a cup of tea lying down and spilling it everywhere! I am CD 14 so we are practically cyclebuddies !

07MTW - fingers crossed that AF is not on her way

hello to Claire (are you in London too?) Shreksmissus,picknmix,spooky, coolcat,cheekster and sorry to anyone missed

CD14 for me today (as I said already ) so poor DH is looking a little tired, but he's had excellent stamina so far . I'll be off on holiday for all of the 2WW, so if I am late I will be testing abroad if I am late (and will have to find a computer in the middle of the desert to log on and tell you lot one way or the other!)

artichokes · 24/10/2007 14:14

Hiya

Can I join? I am on the TTC waiting room thread but have not posted here before. I am on my first cycle of TTC #2. AF is sue saturday so I am at the exciting part of the 2ww.

OK I am going to start with a bang and ask a GROSS question...

Can a yeast infection be an early pregnancy sign???? I have one. I never have them. I may be clasping at straws but I thought it could be a sign (a rather nasty one).

What do you think?

pixie04 · 24/10/2007 14:19

Hi GG thats fab that you get to go on holidays for your 2ww, I went on holiday for the first week of my last 2ww and it passed the time sooo much quicker.

DG I hope you get the BFP on Saturday, fingers crossed for you.

I am using the OPK's again, I got a strong line last night but not strong enough to be a positive.

I've been getting awful cramps though yesterday and today. Like shooting pains and the're quiet strong taking my breathe away acctually but they aren't constant. Very strange

digitalgirl · 24/10/2007 16:51

pixie they're not in your shoulder are they? shoulder tip pains could indicate an ectopic. hopefully you're just gearing up for a super egg. One the scopes out the sperm instead of waiting for them to come to her.

gg see you tomorrow!

artichokes I think I read one lady here on MN got thrush everytime she got pg so she always knew what to look out for. but I don't think it's a common symptom, not to say that it isn't a symptom for you though!

GryffinGhoul · 24/10/2007 17:36

DG - will definitely see you tomorrow if/when I find out where we are meeting . It's like a magical mystery tour. You will know it is me because I'll be the one with the red carnation reading a copy of a french novel

Evening everyone,
Just thought I'd catch up on what everyone has been doing. Is anyone testing in the next couple of days? There's not many of us on the July 08 thread so there is plenty of room for all of you.
Sending babydust to you all.

coolkat · 24/10/2007 20:06

Nearly on the 2WW (I think!!).
Had a horrible evening me and DH had a big argument - does not happen often, but I am so so cross, it was over something so silly. He is under pressure at the minute but he should still not behave like a total to**er.
Sorry to rant on this thread but I just need to Scccrreeeaaammmm.
Anyway he's gone out to work again now so no BD tonight.

Bucky2007 · 24/10/2007 20:53

Good Evening. Twenty to bl**dy nine and I have just sat down properly...arghhh. Its none stop. I dream of a French gitte and a big glass of wine with a hunky french man to bring me things....ah well, DP will do I suppose.

Very boring CD4 here. Gryffin I have emailed you now. Sorry, was out at meetings again all afternoon so no computer access.

dg the brown CM does sound suspicious. Maybe don't you wanna test like now .

Bucky waves to the Pixster...how is the toadstool today is it time for me to come back and use your mini mower again yet? I saw some lovely red shoes with bells on and little feathers at the back in the elf shop and thought of you .

And a good evening to everyone else!! Oh by the way can someone please tell me when I will have a baby because I am getting fed up of waiting now!?!....grrr.

PicknMix · 24/10/2007 22:29

Hellooooooo.....

I have just got home so, like you Bucky I have had a non-stop day!

Am v of you guys meeting up - the question is, will you be talking cm, temps and boob soreness over your glasses of vino and totally worrying the other diners!? How funny would that be!! Its like jumping forward a few years in the friendship stakes - I talk about things with you guys that I still wouldn't say to some of my closest rl friends!!!

Am sorry Bucky my baby radar appears to be on the blink so can't tell you when it might happen for you . Wish I could as that could prob earn me a fortune!! Better than the orange feet idea!! Although saying that, I have predicted that my SIL was pregnant each and every time and each time I have been correct - womens intuition or lucky guess?!

I leave this country on sat a.m at v early o clock so am gutted that I will miss your test results dg - may have to squeeze in a quick check on the mobile before I board the plane!

Artichokes my friend always got thrush when she was pregnant - not sure how early it started with her, will try and find out for you!

Lol at GG wearing the red carnation - will you be meeting under the clock??

I am on cd8 today and my DH is working nights so no time to squeeze in a few practise runs .

07mumstheword · 25/10/2007 08:59

I too am of your meet up. Don't forget to make a toast to abscent friends!

coolcat this is the best place to vent feel free!

bucky twenty to nine and that's before the new dog arrives!

picknmix LOL at mile high club baby names! Hope you have a fantatic trip, we'll miss you.

I'm cd25 and it has been really really really dragging this month. No PG symptoms although I occasionally imagine I feel sick which is usually after I've over eaten on crisps/chocolate/cake. I'm trying to wait until Sunday - day 28 before I test but I think AF will turn up.

coolkat · 25/10/2007 09:18

Have a lovely afternoon those that are meeting up... I . I am off wk this week and DM has booked today off to 'spend' with us!! which enivetibly (sp!)means I get to drive her where she wants to go - Lovely.

On a brighter note my (.)(.) feel different today, sort of heavy and tender! (i am sure I am not imagining it) but it feels to early. Time will tell....

Have a good one people
