2WW-ers - anyone due around June 21st want to wait together?

I am due between June 21st and June 28th. Will be on holiday most of that time though - am trying to debate whether to take test stick with me. If due 21st then probably didn't BD at right time, if it's a 35 day cycle though I will have.

Great to wait with you...

congrats to you cherub - hope you bring us all luck!

imaginarybluelines · 20/06/2008 08:38

Only one more day to go until the 21st for all of us due then. Fingers crossed! When's everyone testing? I'm going to wati till Sunday. I think!

NotSoNewAnymore · 20/06/2008 09:25

I caved an tested again but it was negative. I think AF might be on its way as temperature dropped this morning and i have some pink cm....I am trying to stay positive and not get too disappointed. There is always next month!!

but imagineryblueline I know exactly what you mean about not wanting to do another month like this....I think that is what disappoints me the most. Not that I am probably not pregnant this month but that I now have to go through the 2ww stress all over again!

queenie1 · 20/06/2008 09:33

IBL - good luck for sunday. You asked when I was due - not actually sure. Probably sometime between Monday and Wednesday. So guess I should hold off until at least early next week.

I'm in such a bad mood today. Fed up of ttc, fed up of waiting and fed up of symptom spotting. Going to a wedding on saturday and guess, if PG, should stay off the booze. Fed up of that too when PG never properly materialises.

Not so new - sorry to hear AF looks on its way. Way I'm feeling, think mine might be too.

cherubtastic · 20/06/2008 10:06

Aww ladies, sorry to hear af might be coming but it's never really over till she's actually here.

I could actually cope with the 2ww as there was always that hope and not knowing. What I hated most was between af and ov as that seemed to drag like mad and was a completely pointless bit of the cycle which imo could have been much shorter!!!

Can't believe you're holding out until Sun IBL - I'm very impressed

imaginarybluelines · 20/06/2008 11:18

notsonewanymore it's so hard isn't it! It's the not knowing that just drives me mad. And then the fact that if I test early, maybe.. just maybe... but then nooooooo!!

Queenie I think just syptom spotting and waiting can put you in the worst mood. I have slept really rubbishly for the last few nights and am sure it's all down to feeling so unsettled. Well - I'llknow soon. If it's not my month, I am definitely going to handle things differently next month. No early testing and try and relax a bt. Otherwise I might really go mad! And I guess obsessing about it all can't really help my body much either.

Cherub can feel myself crumbling already. I am allowing myself totest tomorrow eveing I think if no sign of period (or is that really silly and a waste of a test if not morning wee?)

cherubtastic · 20/06/2008 18:10

I personally think that testing on your due date with FMU is very sensible

imaginarybluelines · 20/06/2008 18:23

Cherub Weird question Alert!! Can I save FMU and use it at the end of the day if period not come then? Or does it lose some of its potency if nopt so fresh? What a lovely question for you! Would rather not waste a test first thing to then get my period 20 mins later - which is bound to happen!

Alibobster · 20/06/2008 20:24

I tested yesterday and it was a BFN although I;m not due till either tomorrow or Monday so I wasn't too surprised by the result. What's bothering me though is that the symtoms I had, mainly the sore boobs,huge appetite, seems to have disappered No crampy or backache pains which I would usually have pre AF

imaginarybluelines · 20/06/2008 20:40

Testing early is so confusing isn't it! You get a BFN, but it doesn't help at all, as it still could be a BFP. I haven't tested since Tues, and am definitely going to test tomorrow if no sign of period. I am feeling sooooooooooo agitated now though. I have crampy pains, and back ache, but have had them all week, whcih I don't usually get before my period. I am also feeling headachy which is usually a sign of imminent period. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm and Arggggghhhhhhhhh. I Hate This Bit!

tomtum · 21/06/2008 07:22

IBL - are you testing this morning then, or tonight?

I decided I couldn't wait any longer, and got a faint pink line this morning . Not sure if I could call it a BFP - think I'll retest tomorrow. I'm trying not to get too excited yet...

Anyone else tested/testing today? Good luck

cherubtastic · 21/06/2008 08:24

The HCG breaks down after 24 hrs so I suppose 8hrs would be ok. If you can hold on to your wee for 4 hrs at anytime of day they say that it is just as good as FMU. Especially if you drink things like coffee and eat salty food as it makes it more concentrated.

Yay tomtom! congratulations I like to call them LTP's (little thin positives)

cherubtastic · 21/06/2008 08:25

Apologies - Tomtum!!! got too excited with my typing!

imaginarybluelines · 21/06/2008 09:23

Tomtum - fantastic news! So pleased for you! Let's hope it turns into a BFP today!

Cherub Thanks for advice on wee! Will do the 4 hour wee thing if I test later.

No sign of period yet, but I'm feeling not very positive about being pregnant. I don't know why. I guess it's just highly unlikely that I will be pg on first cycle after period returned post BF anyway. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. This could be a bit of a nightmare now though, as period just might be very irregular now, and I might just keep testing! Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

queenie1 · 21/06/2008 10:25

Tom-tom: souns very promising. A tentative congratulations!!

IBL: thought of you this morning. Fingers crossed for when you do it.

I went to bed convinced I was PG last night. Sore boobs, twinges in tummy and just had a very strong feeling. Dreamt last night that I was giving birth and saw two huge magpies that walked in front of me before coming to a tree full of them. So when I woke I gave in and tested early. BFN. And now how lower back cramps as if AF is on its way. I'm so fed up of this self-induced rollercoaster. Waiting now for AF to arrive as pretty convinced it will. If it doesn't come by Thursday though will test again...

Hope the rest of you have better luck with your developing BFPs. x

queenie1 · 21/06/2008 11:13

and what do you know...AF has just turned up. Burst into tears and DH is now taking me out for the day to cheer both of us up. It's really starting to get us both down.

Will keep logging on to hear how you are all getting on. BFPs give me hope that oneday it will happen for us too.
x

imaginarybluelines · 21/06/2008 11:24

Awww Queenie I'm really sorry to hear that. Your DH sounds lovely though and a day out sounds just what you both need. It's so stressful isn't it - like you said it is definitely a self induced rollercoaster. All the am I, aren't I's are emotionally very draining and stressful. Let's hope next month is more successful. I am still hanging in there, but eed a distraction today before I go mad - and the rain isn't helping.

cakesandchocolate · 23/06/2008 09:23

Hi everyone, AF turned up yesterday, was v blue. Seems daft, was so convinced it had happened this month.
Starting to think we are mad even trying - this would be no 3, have 2 fabbo boys. Maybe this is all just a sign to quit while we're ahead IYKWIM...
Off to the GP anyway as cycle gone all loopy and spotting in middle of month.
Maybe see you in a couple of weeks for more spotting!

cherubtastic · 23/06/2008 13:15

Sorry Cakes&Chocolate & Queenie Lots of babydust for next month.

Any news IBL?

imaginarybluelines · 23/06/2008 16:24

Nooooooooo news! No sign of period but also no sign of BFP (and believe me I've tested!) Rather frustrating. I am just going to have to try and stop thinking about it all now as there's no point. Who knows what's going on. I suppose my body is getting back to normal and my periods might not be regular for a while yet. So not sure if that means I am ovulating or not? Will keep trying. And thanks for asking!

How are you feeling? Hope all is going well so far!

Sorry to hear period showed up c&c. Next month!

tomtum · 23/06/2008 18:56

IBL - don't give up hope yet, and keep on BD! My sister-in-law conceived while still BF and her cycles were very long/odd.

Also, had another positive test Sunday morning so hope I can bring some luck.

queenie1 · 23/06/2008 19:37

Thanks cherub!

IBL - no AF means still a good chance. So fingers crossed for you.

Been feeling really shit the last couple of days and decided to post on the MC avengers thread. After the nightmare time I've been having, need to vent A LOT OF STEAM.

Contemplating not ttc next month and having a break from it all. But we'll see...no doubt probably all see you in a few weeks time...xx

imaginarybluelines · 23/06/2008 19:53

tomtum - I am annoyed at myself as had very noticable ewcm last week and ignored it and didn't BD as was convinced period was coming in a few days. Grrrrrrrrrr. I think you're right and I my cycles are just longer - so we missed our chance this month. Unless I am pregnant and my body just refuses to acknowledge it on a pregnancy test! Have resumed BD'ing now though!

Queenie - I can't even imagine how frustrating and difficult it must be for you. I am finding the whole business of ttc stressful. I have discovered that I am ot a relaxed person and seem to tackle ttc like an army mission. Not very relaxing. I am going to back off a bit too - take a break from ttc without taking a break if you see what I mean? If that's possible. (Hmmmmmm...it'll be hard.) Good luck to you though. It'll happen. We jsut need to be patient.

Alibobster · 23/06/2008 21:09

Thought AF was due sometime between Saturday and today at the latest, but still no sign. Today was DS's 2nd birthday so that was really nice and I wasn't really thinking about AF, and I don't have any HPT's in the house so not tempted to test. It's such a nice and exciting feeling to think that I could be pg that I'm now scared to test as I can't bear the disappointment when it's a BFN. I did have some symptoms last week, mainly sore boobs, but nothing now - don't know what to do

cakesandchocolate · 24/06/2008 08:45

Sounds hopeful alibobster. What you should do is wait a few days and then test. What I'd do is buy pg test from ebay (£5 for 20!) and use them all over the next few days!!
IBL - sounds frustrating. My best mate gor PG after 1 year by stopping trying! She is now 29 weeks due to an expensive bottle of red...
Cherub - how you doin? I promised myself when/if I get PG to enjoy this one (will be the last) as I hated being PG last 2 times- all the loss of control- but it's hard when you feel vile.
Tomtum - all still good I hope?
Queenie -You trying again next month?
Here's a question for you all - is the ttc and bd to order thing doing your sex life and relationship harm or good?
