SYMPTOMS, SYMPTOMS, READ ALL ABOUT IT!!! 2wwaiters chat and cuppas at the ready[grin]

[MrsEi25]

righty-ho ladies heres for a lucky thread now what are your symptoms then?? im not even on my 2ww and im convinced its this month... {note to self: must not get obsessed} yeah right...
xx ei xx

Pistachio that sounds very intriguing! Have you been able to google any more info? Fingers crossed for you!

Can I ask a question, please? It might be a little TMI, so apologies in advance. Basically, I've had some pink tinged CM at 9DPO. With DS, I had what turned out to be an implantation bleed at 9DPO but it was redder and less CMish than what I had today. So, should I record it as 'spotting' or not? Just how red does it have to be to be classed as spotting? Is pink tinged CM more likely to be an early sign of approaching AF? I just don't want to get my hopes up and end up disappointed, you see.

Aw Shreksmissus sorry you feel you have to go We will miss you loads. you know we all know exactly how you feel.

hello everyone - sorry for the time away, but I have nothing to report with symptoms. I can see that lots has been happening but congratualtions on the BFP MissusH . It is brilliant news and wishing you equally congenial company as us lot on the "Due in...." threads .

abbey shreksmissus - we will miss you lots and your support over the months and good humour has been brilliant. Thank you both and we know that if you need a break, take it, but remember we will still be here for you (((((((hugs))))))).

Hello bucky - I'm still around. I don't have my little calendar with me at this computer but think I am about CD23 and nothing to report at all . I was round at my friend's house last night seeing her and her GORGEOUS DD (we were always a group of 4) and she was saying "Hurry up, A and me have our babies and K is due in May". She is lovely, but i still wanted to yell "I've been trying for a bl**dy YEAR!"

DH and I have had an argument. He has decided he is too busy at work to go take up his referal and go to the male fertility clinic to get his swimmers tested. He really is busy, but my view is this is waaaaaay more important and we have reached an impass. You make time - somehow - for what you want to do. The problem is that the referral is for a drop-in clinic, not an appointment, so he has decided to put it off until it suits him. I don't think he is reluctant to go for any other reasons - he'd have kept an appointment because it would be in his diary and not cancel-able, but this way he can put it off until it he's ready, but what about me?! I am sooo and also very . After talking and a lot of trying to reason with him, he is refusing to discuss it any more and has promised he will go "in the next month or so".

Pistachio & FP Sounds very interesting I'm sorry but I have no words of wisdom about what it could all mean but not long until "things" can be confirmed so hang on in there.

Shrek So so sorry I do hope things work out for you very soon and we are always here for you if you want to pop in for a chat.

GG I agree with you, you make time for things so important such as this. I really don't know what else to say but if your DH has promised to go in the next month (forget the or so) then you must make him stick to that as a compromise...I mean you don't want him to wait 3 months. I hope he goes soon.

Hi all - thanks for the congrats (tried to visit yesterday, but couldn't log in, grr)

It still hasn't sunk in yet

I found some babydust on the bottom of my shoes - would be mean not to share...

Hi all.

Shreksmissus - I am so, so sorry to hear your news. Whilst I totally understand how you feel, I am also sad to see you depart. I hope you feel up to joining us again sometime in the near future.

GG - I would feel exactly the same as you and I would be absolutely furious to boot. Thinking about it, work is usually always very busy to some extent - I don't know anyone who has a nice quiet job with not much going on! So it would seem sensible to make the time to go sooner rather than later or the appointment could end up being postponed all the time because work is 'busy'.

Thanks for the babydust, MissusH. I think I might have to pass mine on to a better home - I've had some bloodied CM today, cramps on and off and I've started craving chocolate. I think that these are all signs that AF is approaching. I'll keep my fingers crossed for now of course but I'm not getting my hopes up.

AAARrrghh...I have a new laptop and it is bleedin Windows Vista . I have typed this twice so far and managed to make it dissapear somehow...Come back XP all is forgiven!!!

Once more for the record GG All I have to say on the matter is 'MEN!!!!!'. They just don't get it do they? It's all right for them with their 'ooh I'm seventy seven and am still churning out the babies'. What about us and the eggs that we have lugged round since BIRTH?!!!! Getting older by the bleedin second???? . Just MAKE him go this month. Wait a few days or a week so that the subject can go off the boil and catch him when he least expects it...like when he wants to go out drinking with his mates instead of going to Sainsburys on his turn-type of situation. Aaargh. You know your DP but maybe there is a bit of 'putting off' going on too? I mean I would imagine its not going to be a nice situation, so any other option would perhaps be preferable? Afterall, he could have swimmer issues and whilst we would want to know and do something about it, in my experience men are not like that. They get all 'ostrich' about things. anyway. I'll email you this week.

My didn't turn up for me today so no egg here yet, maybe tomorrow?

Hi ladies

Congrats on BFP MissusH. Sorry to see you go SM

Bucky - LOL at you and your feet pads, I have been tempted to try them but never got round to it.

Well nearly on 2WW so will catch up properly soon. X X

Bucky so... were the detox feet thingies all black from the gin ? any sign of the egg ?
MTW hope the swimmers have done their job now that you've covered all bases
FP pink CM could well be imp bleed... I hope so !
Shreksmissus posted for you in waiting room - sorry to see you go.
Oh GG it is so difficult when people say things like that - esp as you have been trying for a long while. And how frustrating about DH being difficult maybe when he has calmed down post-argument he'll go sooner rather than later. Like Bucky says try again at an oportune moment...
Not much to report here, TEW has left the building and I manged to muffle beeps of thermometer while away for the weekend . My cousin asked me when I'd be having kids in front of everyone at a family gathering ! I just tried to brush it off with a flippant "I'm not interested in all that yet..." and quickly skipped to a new conversation Nightmare. As if I was going to announce "well actually we've binned the condoms as clock has started ticking loudly and am currently obsessing about CM and temps in order to time our bunny-action - what this space !"

Hello all,

Sorry to hear you are leaving us SM I hope you have a good break and come back soon - we'll miss you.

Abby We'll miss you too. It is understandable that you feel that you have enough on your plate at the moment. Hope everything is OK with you and your daughter. >

Congrats MissusH that is wonderful news Glad you can join DG!

GG Like Bucky says perhaps your DH is reluctant because he doesn't want to face what will be an understandably uncomfortable situation. Men seem to hate anything medical. Can he not be convinced that it is better to get it over and done with?

FF decided I ov on Thursday, CD42 - better late than never. We can't ttc after this cycle because of my impending scan but - it would be great to have to cancel it because I got a BFP

Hello to everyone else!

Cross-posted with mibbes

You'd have certainly have shocked a few elderly aunts with that little speech

HCB JollyBear oohh good news that FF has confirmed ov ! I have everything crossed for you - I really hope this long cycle proves to be worth the wait and you get your BFP . I take it you managed to take temp quietly !

Thanks mibbes! It wasn't v quiet temping really as I dropped it and couldn't find the button. No one commented on the odd beeping though thank goodness!!

Hope this cycle is lucky for you HCB

I have been having tingly boobs for a wee while now, since AF. Tonight my right leaked What is that about?
I am only on CD10 and really don't think I have even ov'd yet.
I did do a test but so many have had a BFP after an AF visit. Ok theirs' were really light and turned out to be implantation. Mine was clearly TEW and heavy(ish), to boot. But, why the tingly boobs, and the leaking??
Obv it was BFN

Just recovering from a urine infection, reckon that must be what it is. Not fair for my body to send confusing things like that though

Hope you did the deed in time JB what a long wait, but better late than not this month. DG was a late ov'ing too, weren't you?

GG an argument with DH and a silly comment from a friend. >
Methinks it might be avoidance, for your DH too. They are willing to do the dancing but not so much with the testing. You can understand why, but tough poo, get on with it. We have to go through far worse than being told to pleasure ourselves and produce the outcome
Small ask really. But then I am like a dog with a bone in these situations, Poor DH would not be allowed to say no! I would be frog marching him down there, giving him a helping hand.
Haha, ok time for me to stop talking, someone needs to say, 'yes dear'

Actually, have read your post over and I really don't think my way would help you guys at all.

Well af arrived this morning, bugger Disappointed but only 1st mth of proper trying again after Aug m/c. At least my last 2 cycles now have been back to normal.....
So roll on the 10th Feb when the action begins again Going to have to try to find the time and energy to bd more than twice at the right time, this month
GG, hope you and dh sort things out and he has his tests done sooner rather than later, must be frustrating for you though.

TF lol at your pleasure and outsome analysis - so true!

Sorry TEW got you scully JB Sorry but I did at your dropping the thermometer whilst trying to be discreit (sp?) itsn't that ever typical

Mibbes Its just so difficult to respond when you are put on the spot like that, well done you for changing the subject.

GG How are you feeling today? Are you still at boiling point?

Hi FP Bucky Coolkat & everyone else.

I'm CD15 and decided this morning this is just the worst bit now because I hate waiting! At least at the beginning of a cycle you have blood to keep you busy then the BD'ing can commence and OV tests etc etc then you have 2 wks (or so) of nothing! I do hope it's a positive at the end of it all this time but I just have a feeling it hasn't happened again. (I'm only 5 dpo so I am being pesimistic (sp?) or is that a realist? )

Pistachio WELL???? ARE YOU???? Tell ME!!!!!!

Pistachio The suspense is killing me!!!

sorry to hear that, scully - as you say, at least you can see now that your cycles are settling down and next month will be better for you.

pistachio! you can't leave us hanging like that! c'mon - spill the beans!!

Congratulations Pistachio

Just re-read your post, how did you manage to keep your Saturday BFP quiet? I'm really pleased for you.
