TTC and Waiting to TTC? The ever addictable wagon awaits.....

[LaTourEiffel]

Over here ladies, and a big Wagon welcome to any newbies!

I'll post the list in a minute too....

Hello this seems a nice thread, i am ttc dc2, have been ttc for 4 months. can i join? just stopped OVing now so fingers crossed for this month again after much GOFing...

welcome to both of you! Puss your symptoms sound gd to me, and i am too waiting to test with plenty of "symptoms" and like you am worried im imagining them, also i get p'eed off with BFNS! feel free to add yourselves to the list

Beetles gd luck how old is your LO?

PErsonally DP and i are just desperate for our first, then DC2 can come along straight after for all i care, i just want to know my innards are working ha ha!!

also TMI but ive been feeling REALLY turned on, in my bits rather than in my head if that makes sense!! anyone know if thats a sign??

Well they do say pg increases the blood flow and so you can feel more aroused. Are you just after ov time though? I'm rampant around ov - could cock my leg for anyone! lol lol

The symptom spotting is a pita! I'm knicker checking...I'm never early...never...but could be pre AF spotting....

lol puss, it could also be implantation!

I dont really know, i would guess ive already ov'd however im not sure this is first pill free month as when i had my coil removed, my periods just didnt come i was having like 65 day cycles!! which if im honest is part of my worry, i.e that im not pg and my periods are still not right, meaning i cant get pg...arg stressful isnt it!!!!

my ds is three and even he is clucky for a baby, has a pretend mouse which he looks after. good luck to all those who are feeling the magical symptoms. i don't feel anything but still early days. when i got pg with ds i 'knew' even before i could test, so go with your instincts ladies!

Evening!

Welcome, Puss and Beetles. You've chosen a great thread! So successful all the graduates have their own AN thread now! We're all hoping to join them soon. Feel free to add yourselves to the list.

Beetles, your DS sounds so sweet - does his mouse have a name??

Puss, def sounds like your might've had an implatation bleed. Have my fingers crossed for you.

La Tour, Can't believe that about your work what a weird thing to do.

I had parents' evening tonight. Felt really different now that I am a parent myself! Most parents v nice, but some you just want to throttle!

Puss, Hi I am a wagon graduate and what you said about extreme tiredness was what made me think I was pg with my second. I just felt like I had run a marathon everyday despite getting 10 hours of sleep most nights.

Hope everyone is ok and feeling well.

evening all!

am still feeling fuzzy today and sleepy, i am loathe to trust my instinct but in my littlest voice i will say , i feel pg !! i just want it confirmed!!

how is everyone?

Am all over the place....bought a cheap Superdrug test up to 4 days before period due test but BFN...however, still no sign of AF proper....am on CD27 now....technically, its too early to test?? Normally AF arrives CD29 so even testing tomorrow may not be on time iyswim? With DS, I had two BFN before a BFP about 3/4 days after AF was due....also it wasn't FMU, it was about 5.30pm at the last wee before that was 3pm so....

I'm knicker checking all the time and tmi, chafing a bit from wiping too much!! lol All I seem to be getting aside from that tiny bit of bright red in mucus yest is quite thin and watery brown stuff- only when I wipe, not even enough to go on a pad..not that I'm giving anything time to get on a pad though!! ha ha!!

Btw, AF normally starts with bright red stuff within 24hrs of the brown stuff so am not following my usual pattern at all!

aw puss that fills me with hope too, i used the same test and again wasnt FMU, you've made me feel better! i personally am gonna hold off testing for a few weeks, and again feel like AF could start at any minute.

shall we compare symptoms?? well ive GOF'ed every other day for whole cycle, even did it last night just in case ha ha and mine are as follows:

-feeling dreamy/forgetful/disconnected from life
-feeling more tired than normal, and tired every night, alot early than normal
-struggling to dose off to sleep at night then having REALLY vivid dreams
-feeling quite aroused
-tender but not agonising boobs, and this is on and off
-a few headaches

• some (but little) nausea
• a few bouts of dizzyness
• slight pre menstrual aches like af about to start

-extremem emotions: teary then angry then snappy ( happens normally premenstrual but not so intensly)

your turn! im on till half 8 btw x

and apparently an inability to type/spell lol

Oh I forgot to say that my sex drive improved when I came off the pill so that maybe what is happening for you also - how many days post ov are you?

As for me

-feeling dreamy/forgetful/disconnected from life - Yup - but MIL has terminal cancer so things are weird in general atm...
-feeling more tired than normal, and tired every night, alot early than normal - most def!!!
-struggling to dose off to sleep at night then having REALLY vivid dreams - er..no..can't say I have this one...
-feeling quite aroused - no...too tired
-tender but not agonising boobs, and this is on and off - no...that's weird really as my boobs are normally huge and tender before AF...mmm
-a few headaches - yes

• some (but little) nausea - yes
• a few bouts of dizzyness - yes
• slight pre menstrual aches like af about to start - yes

-extremem emotions: teary then angry then snappy ( happens normally premenstrual but not so intensly) -yes, but no more than usual I would say...

Wow...interesting to compare Do you think I tested too early then? I hate the not knowing...if I'm not pg, then bring on the period but this farking brown stuff throwing me for a loop!!! Bet I come off here and find its started proper though!! lol

lol coul;d be thtas what happened, re my sex drive although if this makes sense its my sex drive in my head rather than lust for DP?!!?!?

I dont know how many days post ov i am, tho in theory if i can take my cycles on the pill as i would non pill i would be 17 days post ov i think?! this is what worries me, i am paranoid im not ov'ing when im not on the pill, and that the reason my periods were regular was because the pill was controlling them its the waiting around that gets me, i mean if i am gonna need medical help i wanna get on and get it lol!!

sorry to hear about MIL puss, that cant be easy to deal with.

I am getting obsessive about when to test but its a double edge sword, cos if i get another neg, then what do i do?!?! arg !!

when do u think you will test again? i dunno what brand to use either, weather to get like on First response, and a few cheapies??

Well, I'm going to try and hold off testing until Friday am -as that is technically the day AF is usually due for me. I've got one left of the Superdrug cheapy so must be strong tomorrow and not use it!! Also, I'll give it more time to see if the red stuff starts up....its all very odd though. If it turns out I'm not pg, then at least I'll know what surprises AF is capable of chucking at me!!! lol

It can take a while for cycles to settle down after the pill so please bear that in mind!

I hate this TTC lark! lol

oh forgot to say im weeing a lot more often, and am off certaing foods too!

lol i hate it too but keep telling myself the end result will be worth it!! im quite lucky in that the earliest i can buy a test will be sat so wont test till at least then, and am gonna try and wait till 16th a shave a half day on 14th so if i dont get a test at weekend thats the earliest i can buy one!! Gonna use FMU too and go the whole hog lol!!

im also a bit pent up about it as my friend has just started selling her stuff from her last baby (4 months) so ive already got loads of bits that she is storing for me, as im too paranoid about tempting fate and also dont want anyone else to see them lol

god its sent to try us isnt it?!

Still no proper AF - just brown stuff...but two bfn with cheapy dip strip thingies...

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Hi girls, on testing, with DS, i did get a BFP about 4 days before period should have been due if i recall right. that was a cheapy asda one. but the line was really really faint and i held it up to the bathroom light, (like a psycho) so bear in mind it might be a faint line at this stage which you might miss! as for me this time round, still no idea whether this has worked this month and yes i am sick of TTC too! so over it!

evening all! my boobs are so tender today!! i am so nervy about testing tho!!how is everyone?

Hiya all

Still no AF!!! If anything, the brown stuff seems to have lessened..not that there was much to start with...also have vague feeling of nausea....very bloated too and do feel as if AF about to just gush any minute but that is a sign of pg too.....

The not knowing is doing my head in Was going to test tmw am but as that is my usual Af due date (CD29) I'm going to hold off until Sat am as I couldn't face another with no AF

hiya puss, i feel your pain!!

i am going to test sometime soon.... its driving me mad!!

I'm out...flo got me this am.....

Ahh well, at least I know how the bitch can play it and will be more prepared next time!!

I've not been BD'ing before ov as such due to DH being away etc so will try that this month as I think that is the key - having the sperm already there for the egg iyswim?

Keeping my fingers crossed for you Puss & BB. I'm still waiting for an AF having come off the pill almost 12 weeks ago now. Blood tests last week were all normal & GP will refer me to gynae in 4 weeks if still no AF. Is there much chance of AF appearing on its own after this amount of time?

aw puss, sorry to hear that least af is a positive in a way tho a fresh start?

Claire feeling for you too, my periods went off when i had the coil removed, they became 65days average!! and from what i can gather as we were trying at the time, annovulatory.
I have yet to find out if they are back to normal now, i went onto the pill to try and regulate them myself, which did work and have come off and ttc straight away so atm im in the position of either im pg, or my periods are still broken, so i know how frustrated you must feel!! as for will they come back i really dont know, but least the docs are being helpful, although that seems a long time to wait, i havent been to see mine yet, am really hoping i dont have too, as he makes me feel awkward!!!

On brighter news, whats everyone doing at the weekend?
