Hello.. Anyone fancy joining me?! I ovulated over New Year and hoping, hoping, hoping to get a BFP in a couple of weeks!

So glad it's not just me, though

turtle23 · 12/01/2009 19:06

Two little bouts of nausea today. Am being ridiculous and willing myself to feel ill i think...

BeckyBendyLegs · 12/01/2009 19:32

Me too! I'm convinced I am not pg though because I don't have a metallic taste and with all my other pregnancies, except the last one which ended in an MC, I had a metallic taste in my mouth as a first symptom. And I also felt kind of breathless. I haven't got that at all. I have cramps though today but that could be just too much red cabbage yesterday. Ahhhhh!

upsyandiggle · 12/01/2009 19:51

hi everyone, also n 2ww, due AF on sunday. hopefully this month as september/october baby would be great. thinking i have lots of symptoms but they are also linked to AF so try not to think about it too much.

BeckyBendyLegs · 13/01/2009 09:21

Hello upsyandiggle good luck! I am due on Monday but don't feel any major symptoms. I think it is going to be another month of hoping and then hopes dashed.

iloverosycheeks · 13/01/2009 10:53

Due on Thursday and can feel the old PMT grumpiness coming on so have a feeling not PG - is anyone going to test before day AF due? I think I am just going to wait til Thursday - will report back then. good luck to everyone else!

Hello ladies - I have been a bit quiet, Sorry! I am also RUBBISH as I have tested the last two mornings - BFN . I thought today would be a good time as I got a BFP on 11 dpo with last pregnancy and today would have been day 11 of this cycle..

Am I testing too early? I don't think I am as AF due on Friday/Saturday?

What do you guys think? Game over for this month?

Hi florence - doesn't seem to be an exact science to me - I would say don't test again until AF due, I am trying really hard not to test before thursday... mind you period was late 2 months ago and still got BFN so who knows

vtiredmummy · 13/01/2009 12:55

Hi all,

Have come to join - AF due on Sunday so just waiting to test. Feel bit nauseous but may be stress as dh got notice of redundancy last week, literayy a day after we finished trying

vtiredmummy · 13/01/2009 12:55

sorry, meant 'literally'

Twiglettini · 13/01/2009 14:21

Sorry to hear about the redundancy, vtiredmummy. No wonder you are stressed, poor you and your DH. Has it changed how you feel about having another?

Hello FlorenceB, was wondering how you were doing. No, don't give up until AF appears, still got my fingers crossed for you. Have to admit to testing every day, though I think AF isn't due until Fri (I think).

Wondered who was next due for their AF:
FlorenceB Thursday
iloverosycheeks Thursday
Twig Friday
vtiredmummy Sunday
upsyandiggle Sunday
BeckyBL Monday

Have I got this right, anyone else around want to add their name to the list??

Twiglettini · 13/01/2009 14:27

Just getting mild period-like cramping, oh dear

turtle23 · 13/01/2009 14:32

I'm due on Monday but have no doubt I will be testing from Thursday. I am an hpt addict.

Twiglettini · 13/01/2009 14:37

Lets hope we get a week of BFPs

BeckyBendyLegs · 13/01/2009 14:49

I haven't tested yet. I feel grumpy and have had a few crampy feelings BUT those are both pregnancy symptoms as well as PMT symptoms. That's the problem!!!! I will perhaps test on Saturday morning.

Sabs1981 · 13/01/2009 17:36

Hello ladies can I join? My AF due sat 17th jan. Am on cycle 1 since waiting 3 months before trying again after my mmc in sept.

I was already a bit naughty and impatient by testing using FR on sunday which was a BFN

vtiredmummy · 13/01/2009 20:48

Hi Twiglettini, (and everyone) Very weird feelings re redundancy. TTC cos we decided we wanted a second ds or a dd, and I've been feeling mega-broody for about 6 months now. But now it will be blimmin' scary as well as totally wonderful if I am PG, as it might not necessarily be the same set up we had before when ds came about. Scared but excited I guess!!!

silentlywondering · 14/01/2009 07:54

Can I join you?

31 day cycle now 4 days overdue. Not been actively trying but not been abstaining iyswim. History of mc so am just kind of letting nature take its course atm. I have 2 dc already Just want somewhere to hang out as it were till I get up the courage to test. DH keeps saying he doesn't want any more but knows I can't use hormonal contraception and refuses to get the snip and hasn't been using other forms of protection so it will be a miracle if I am not pg by end of year as I am quite fertile just have problems with the baby staying put past 9 weeks.

turtle23 · 14/01/2009 08:28

Anybody know how early the ebay cheapies let you test?

BeckyBendyLegs · 14/01/2009 09:11

What I want to know, totally unrelated to pregnancy and TTCing, is why sometimes when I look on MN the threads are all the other way around (ie most recent post at the top rather than the bottom)? I prefer it to be at the bottom and keep having to click 'flip'. Flipping ech!

Well I still don't feel pg. I have dreams about being pg though. Ahhhh its just too stressful.

I've got some ebay tests and I've only used them on day AF due and beyond. I don't know whether you can use them earlier.

littlemiss26 · 14/01/2009 09:35

turtle i got a faint positive on an ebay cheapie 5 days before AF!! it wasn't an early test either so i must get high HCG quick! It ended up a mmc at 10 weeks though so i'm watching this thread as its been 3 and a half weeks since ERPC and we've been trying but not sure if i'm in 2WW or body is still sorting itself out - good luck

iloverosycheeks · 14/01/2009 10:52

Buying a test today and testing Thurs morning [gulp]
sorry to hear abour your DH redundancy vtiredmummy.... my DP is getting a bit jumpy about TTC as he is self employed and its taking a wee while to pick up after holidays - we live in uncertain times!! They way I look at it things could be different in 9 months and also a second baby doesnt cost as much as the first (deluded emoticon) anyway I am a bit worried that if not pg this month then he will have talked himself out of it for next month

iloverosycheeks · 14/01/2009 10:54

so be thinking of me and FlorenceB tomorrow and will keep fingers crossed for everyone else...

beanstalk · 14/01/2009 12:10

Hello, can I join? Just been laughing in recognition at your sympton spotting. I am ttc but being totally irrational about it. Came off the POP 2 weeks ago and no period, so have no idea when AF is due. But as I have gone up a bra size (??) and have for the last 4 days had crampy pain like period pain I am wondering if it is a) just my system settling down after the pill or b) AF on its way. It can't possibly be pg symptons this early I know, but if only...
See what I mean about irrational!

upsyandiggle · 14/01/2009 19:19

good luck iloverosycheeks and florenceB fingers crossed. Hi beanstalk. i really want to test but DH wants to wait untill sunday . all my symptoms are also AF symptoms so it just drives me mad. Roll on sunday
