The 2ww Symptom Spotting continues....

[Bucky2007]

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

Evening ladies , well c29 and still no af.. been having cramps on and off all day so she may yet rear her ugly head, but nips incredibly sore and sorry (tmi) loads of cm, long and stringy!!!! maybe i am ovulating again???!!! ( highly unlikely!!)

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone & thanks especially to digitalgirl for that lovely detailed post. What you say makes perfect sense to me. Yes it would be lovely if I was pg & I just had really really low hcg levels...but I know in my heart that I?m probably not. We?ve had a LOT of stress in the past couple of months so I was thinking that ovulation might not have happened when I first thought...but didn?t really understand why I was getting more ov symptoms afterwards that didn't then change to pre-AF ones...and carried on for the past 2-3 weeks...so put them down as pg ones instead .

I think I will just ride it out as best I can & wait for AF. I have some cheapy very early pg tests in the post from ebay so I can satisfy my curiosity about being pg in the meantime as well without breaking the bank!

I actually have a copy of TCOYF...think I need to read it bit more as I don?t remember much of this in it . I think at the very least this cycle has hammered it home that I do need to sort my hormones out once & for all. I don?t mind the long cycles so much, they?ve been that way since I started back when was 11...but the PMS is really getting me down & ruling my life more than it used to. I?ve always had it but since AF started again after DS was born it?s got really really pad & tbh I think I have PMDD now ....and twice a month as well coz I get it before OV as well as AF. I?ve been looking at various 'natural' ways that might help it but there doesn?t seem to be much as I am still Bfing DS but from a quick look agnus castus might well be ok with that...shall have to do some more reading I think! Thanks for the tip libralady.

Pixie I'm sorry you're feeling today and that you seem to be having ongoing pains. Hope things sort themselves out soon. DP 6'7" very tall! How tall are you? My DH is 6' and I'm 5'3" so I do have to wear heels!

Sarahnh When I was last PG I had lots of CM so don't give up hope yet!

libralady thanks for the tip, I've heard about agnus castus before but not really researched it properly yet (what? DG not doing her homework?? ). I'm not sure how I feel about herbs, I quite like the idea of acupuncture and/or reflexology as that's kind of manipulating what's already in my body...but I'm sure I'll try anything after a few more cycles!

bucky hope you're successfully seducing DP right now . Have seen The Prestige, I thought it was very good!

mtw looking at the clock, we're nearly on CD7, didn't that fly by?

pixie no special supplier, got TCOYF off Amazon along with another book by Zita something...came in 4 days. But I ordered after the postal strike, maybe yours got lost in the post? Sorry your feeling - those pains must be annoying. Can you contact the people that did your scan and see what their opinion is? I'm having odd womb-cramps (not painful) at the moment, not sure what that's all about.

sarahnh symptoms sound very good. Although I'd definitely keep bd'ing - it's not unheard of to Ov at CD29!! If the nips and CM stop suddenly then you might find that's the case! Fingers crossed its a BFP soon!!

terramum stress will definitely delay ov. Hope you can relax over the next couple of weeks and good luck with ttcing! PMDD is a new acronym for me (what does it stand for?)...but sorry to hear your .

Right, after an exhausting phone conversation with my mother I'm off to join DH in bed. Maybe we can BD these womb-throbs away! Night everyone!

hello girls. my symptoms were real this time!!! bfp this morning

glad i wasn't just imagining it!!

YEY!! Penguin, Big congrats!!!!!

well im on here now and on CD16, cycle 1 ttc#2.
i bd'ing on CD14 - it was my last day fertile day on CD14) and CD15...cant do anymore as Dp had pulled his back badly..ended up in A+E all nite! (he was playing Golf and pulled his back muscles)....so it be lucky if im pg this month!!!

big congrats penguin mum!!! you have given me hope!! also queasy for last few days and very sore (..) and lots of bfns but you never know!!!

Morning all! Lovely DH is taking me away for a surprise night because he cancelled out holidays. I may even start speaking to him again . Plenty of BD-ing, but at CD24 or so it will be the no pressure fun stuff, hurrah! I hope it involves a fireworkds display somewhere. I love them and bonfires! Hope Finn will be ok this weekend, Bucky with all the bangs and load noises.

DG - my cycle usually comes in at 28 days, give or take one day either side. I am pretty clockwork except for that one moth I was late and gave all you ladies a heart attack with failed tests, so it's four days until i can test legitimately (unless I fail to resist the temptation. I have a Clear Blue in my handbag in case of "emergencies" )

DG/terra - not sure about the pros and cons for taking agnus castus. There are other threads on here where people debate whether it is a good idea to take it. From memory, i think Agnus castus it is supposed to be excellent, but the concensus seemed to be that it was powerful stuff and probably best taken with medical supervision. I'll check with my sis, the oracle of all things medical and see if she has a view. Atilla The Meercat who posts a lot and seems knowledgable might be the one to ask/look for if you need more detail.

pixie - PMSL at your DP being the BFG at 6'7" which must be mighty interesting TTC when you are only six inches high . How does he fit in the toadstool??

Have a lovely weekend ladies. Is anyone due to test? I'll have a quick peek at the baby waiting room and see where everyone is up to.

GGx

screaminglip - last day I BD'ed was CD14 and we know what happened

Good afternoon ladies - Anyone for afternoon tea and cake!! Having a lazy one as we are out at a fireworks display later.

Well my boobies still defo feel funny but could this be how they are supposed to feel prior to AF arrival when your not on the pill? Also keep having really dull heavy headaches. Don't know when to test again part of me wants to but then I would sooner keep guessing then get a negative result IYSWIM

Hope your all well Congrats PM on your BFP

Good afternoon everyone!!

penguinmum WOW big great news.

shrekmissus how are you doing cycle buddy? I have to say i swing from wildly optomistic (can't spell today - ooh, is it a symptom?!) to devestatingly pesamsistic. DH is so, so excited ATM i don't want him to be disappointed. You sound like you have positive symptoms, though, have got my fingers firmly crossed for you!

GG pleased to hear DH is making it up to you!!

Well i have the usual tender boobs starting which i know i get each month regardless. Today i have loads of creamy CM which i know must be too early to be a sign (only got smiley face on OPK monday) but at least its something to keep my hopes up!!

Hope everyone has a good weekend, here's for more good news next week.

XX

Whoops, just read that back. REALLY can't spell today!

did you Sweetkitty!!... hmm sounds promising!!

oh and thanks for the welcome to here!

Yay Penguinmum hurrah for your BFP! How fab.

gryffingirl hahaahahahahha You crack me up ...of course, why didn't I think of that...Pixie's DP must be able to hold her in his hand!! pmsl. I'm sure he is a gentle giant though .

Ooh got a new haircut today...got it all chopped of and have a kind of pob going on. It looks good now, lord knows what it will be like when I wash it . Anyway, forgot to do my opk and when i got round to it I had drunk loads of water and had peed less than an hour before. It was negative, but that means nothing really given the circumstances so I will BD anyway.

Hi dg and happy weekend to everyone else. Especially Pixie and her BFG.

Good morning . Well its all quite hysterical here at Chez de Bucky this morning. There we were getting down to some BDing (or beginning to anyway) and Finn literally ambushed us, launching himself at about 100 miles an hour onto the bed and more precisely onto our snogging heads . He sleeps downstairs, DP had let him out to do his business and come back to bed and he snuck up...it was the funniest image ever. It was really hard to be mad at him. Needless to say the BDing ended once again. I can see why babies put a spanner in the works, but at this rate there will be no baby . All the same we have pledged to try again later!

Hope you all are having a good weekend.

Morning, fertility friends is telling me I'm 3dpo but as its my first cycle with them saying they recommend I test at 18dpo I know I'll never wait that long. Never ever. Sooooo impatient!

Congrats Penguinmum, also left my congrats in the baby waiting room

GGGGGRRRRRRRRR!!!! Just wrote out a post and my stoooopid laptop lost it. here it is again:

I'm CD8 and AF has most definitely, definitely gone!

Am officially on CM-watch, which can be difficult after a morning BD.

bucky lol at naughty little Finn, he will have to learn. Good for you getting a new-doo, a little bit of self tlc is just what we all need.

clairePO my sympathies - 18 days is a loooong time. However, now I'm charting on FF I will be doing my very best to wait as long as possible, my last two cycles taught me to be very patient.

mob You never know, you may have had a super-fast egg in which case 4dpo isn't too early to get symptoms.

All those on the 2ww, what dpo are you all? Be good to see who's next in line for testing!!

Enjoy your Sundays, it's a sunny day in North London and my mum is doing a Sunday Roast! Yum yum.

morning girls...i went out last night with my friends for a meal adn ended up in the toilet having the runs. blardy ell!...it was painful!. For thepast 2 days my breasts is so heavy and sore but this is normal. i need super protection bra for my big boobs so my dd is not bouncing on them - OUCH!!

i want to know when is the first day of DPO??

1dpo is the day after you've ovulated!

Symptoms sound good lips
erm, except for the runs....that doesn't sound good, purely from a physical point of view, but maybe it's a symptom just for you.

well im very gassy too
I dont think it gonna happen this time as ive hardly touched Dp....BD with him twice before his back went!.. good timing! Ill never know till in the next 2 weeks.

Hello Ladies

Have had such a busy weekend haven't caught up with all the posts but I did see the BFP from pengiunmum CONGRATULATIONS!

DG DP and I took your advice to keep BDing until cervix low and hard and we managed to BD twice yesterday! Yep that's right, once AM and once PM. Gosh we haven't done that for a looong time. Not that you want to know but am very pleased about it.

I am on 7th day of OV pains although they have become less frequent (ie not constant) Cervix is firm but still a bit high and nips hurt so am sure I'm done ovulating. I think I am officially on the 2ww now
