Hi everyone,

I am on the 2ww too now. I think AF should arrive next Friday, if I got the dates right after mmc. Will NOT be testing beforehand.

So who is testing next week??

norfolkmummy · 14/08/2009 16:20

I am just home after a few days away and glad to see some more BFP's yay!

My body continued to play tricks on me, pregnancy symptoms, BFN, late af - then v light spotting when I went to the loo and I thought maybe implantation but again BFN. I had no further bleeding for 36 hours then OMG af arrived with a vengeance

At least I know where I am now and will be joining the May bus but will hang around here to check up on other peoples news!

Good Luck all x.

ilove2shop · 14/08/2009 19:39

booo AF got me, see you on the May bus!

Mrs Rigby I think its called a chemical pregnancy. Egg gets fertilized so test picks up hormonal changes but then if egg doesn't embed you get period....

MrsRigby · 14/08/2009 21:00

Evening everyone.

DH has buggered off out for a meal and drinks with friends, so no sex tonight. Though considering sperm can survive for up to 5 days inside a womans uterus (DH and I last had sex on Wednesday) and an orgasim helping get the sperm to the egg, I might do a little DIY tonight .

norfolkmummy and ilove2shop better luck next month, I have my fingers crossed for you. I'm on the May bus also .

Elliemama I'm so sorry. Jesus getting pregnant is hard enough without mother nature throwing an extra spanner in the works. I mean for fecks sake, if the sperm meets the egg that should be the end of the matter - pregnancy . Don't know if I'll ever be able to look at a BFP in the same way, that is, if I ever get one .

MrsRigby · 14/08/2009 21:41

Incidentally, I cut off half my hair earlier (head not pubic, I shaved that off with DH shaver last week), DH was not amused in the least. I have my hair up and DH say's I look like a sumo westler. I don't care, I never wear it down anymore on account of DS pulling it and I'll be buggered if I'm going to pay someone £25.00 + tips for some unwanted smalltalk and a bad haircut. So I did it myself. I don't care, it's hair, it'll grow back.

Hair today, gone tomorrow (I can hear you all moaning, yeh, that was quite bad).

emmajlh · 15/08/2009 09:57

hi all,

Well i'm definately on this bus!! due date is 20th April!

Having some nausea in the afternoons around 3-5pm so need to go and buy some ginger biscuits as that did the trick with DD. I was only sick once in last mlast pregnancy and i think that had more to do with a dodgy salad than the pregnancy.

In my last pregnancy i followed all the 'food rules' but this time around i don't feel as inclined to. I've already eaten pate.

Is anyone else being a bit more lax with the food rules second time around?

Elliemama · 15/08/2009 10:48

Congratulations emmajlh - hope the ginger biscuits help!!

Mrs Rigby, are you sure looking like a sumo is a good thing when you're trying to conceive??!
I know how you feel about hairdressers tho!! I've finally found 2 that are ok... 1 is very expensive and a bit arty but we have fab chats about stuff and the other is nice, cheap and friendly. Thought I'd alternate! But anyway feeling like my hair looks ok def makes me feel better about myself and life in general. I think its important that we look after ourselves when dealing with all the emotional ups and downs that come with TTC and motherhood in general!

Hello ladies,

Well, DH and I did our best this month and I'm going to test in a few days. Feeling hopeful!

Think my dates are a bit out on the list, I'm actually on day 31 I think. Could prob test already but have resolved to wait a bit. Will let you know...

Good luck to you all!

Trying4Baby1 · 15/08/2009 20:40

Evening everyone

Not looking forward to tonight, DH and I are having sex (the sooner I'm pregnant the better, I can have another 15+ months rest). I just pray it's over quickly. I might give him a blow job to speed up the process .

Okay so symptom spotting today and I have an absent period - I wasn't due (actually no idea when I'm due), dull sharp cramp like discomfort to the left lower abdomen, a long blue vein on my left breast, a couple of spots on my face and insane hunger as soon as I get up in the mornings .

emmajlh I've stopped drinking caffiene, so no coke or coffee and limited chocolate . So no, I'm still very strict (and I'm not even pregnant yet ... or am I), though I'm a vegetarian so I don't have to worry about a lot of stuff. Anyway, congratulations .

elliemama I've cut more of my hair off today, it's very addictive! I quite fancy shaving it all off, but I'm pretty sure DH would divorce me on grounds of insanity.

Fingers crossed for you next month rubena.

applesaretheonlyfruit · 16/08/2009 10:02

I have been quite good. Was in a shopping area yesterday afternoon, surrounded by "dealers" of pregnancy tests (boots/superdrug etc) and I DID NOT purchase anything one needs to pee on..

AF is due next Friday, and I am going to try very hard to wait..

MrsRigby · 16/08/2009 10:31

Morning everyone

Good for you applesaretheonlyfruit, fingers crossed for next Friday.

Lizkin · 16/08/2009 13:09

Hello again,

well, my hopes were founded on nothing it appears - AF has come Just as I was starting to think this might be our month.

Better luck to you all, I'm off to get on the May bus. And I think I'll have a beer tonight (really throwing caution to the wind, eh?).

Cheers,

MrsRigby · 16/08/2009 13:24

Enjoy the beer lizkin you deserve it and fingers crossed for May. I'm on the May bus only .

Sweetpeasmum · 17/08/2009 09:32

It seems the April bus is not for me. Good luck to everyone, I'm off to the May bus.

Trying4Baby1 · 17/08/2009 10:19

sweetpeasmum I might be joining you on the May bus soon.

In the meantime I've updated my stats

Evening everyone

I'm being rather naughty at the moment and working my way through a box of AfterEight's.

I'm sure I'm pregnant, the past couple of days I've had some sort of wierd feeling down there and lower abdominal cramping. Today just standing up was making my back ache and my right ribs are uncomfortable.

sweetpeasmum I'm on the May bus also.

trying4baby1 it's not over till the fat lady sings or you get your period. Fingers crossed for you.

MrsRigby · 18/08/2009 12:08

Why did I do it?

Do what I hear you ask.

Take a pregnancy test - a BFN.

Honestly, sometimes my stupidity amazes me. I mean what the hell did I think was going to happen. DH and I have only been trying 2 weeks, I have PCOS and I don't think I'm anywhere near due a period.

So again I ask why did I do it, especially as I'm now sitting here miserable, thinking it's never going to happen and almost ready to give up.

I'll tell you why I did it, because I'M CONVINCED I'M PREGNANT .

Why am I convinced, I don't really know considering it took us about 2-2 1/2 years to conceive last time, but the lower abdominal cramping might be a good place to start.

It's entirely possible I am pregnant, given that last time I knew as soon as I'd conceived. It might be that I tested wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too early.

This is not my fault. I want to be pregnant. I am doing everything I can to get pregnant including having sex every other day, taking metformin and prenatal vitamins, trying to follow a healthy diet and abstaining from caffiene. It is not my fault I have PCOS, it's not something I asked for. It is out of my hands that DS goes to nursery in November, I have to go back to work and even if by some miracle I did get pregnant the baby would not be born soon enough to stop DS going. Idealy another baby would have been conceived sooner to stop there being such an age gap, but that wasn't possible.

It is not my fault, I'm doing everything I can. It's just so bloody annoying.

On the plus side DS is taking a nap.

porcupine11 · 18/08/2009 12:17

I'm sorry to hear about your BFN MrsRigby, but don't despair yet. I had 4 or 5 negatives from testing early, and then a faint positive, and then two days after AF a BFP!! Now it's almost a week since AF was due, so I'm adding myself to the graduates list, hooray.

In the meantime, I've been weeping - sobbing - over a Julia Donaldson picture book about snails and a whale, which is possibly more of a BFP than a blue line...

Macana, how are you getting on, I haven't read the thread for ages?

Hi ladies,

I am leaving the ttc thread for now.

My periods are still haywire since having dd 19 weeks ago. I'm having bleeding every week since the bleeding stopped after birth at 11 weeks!

Until it settles down I can't really say where I am in the cycle.

Bugger. I'm really cheesed off, and feel like dd will be an only child at this rate.

porcupine11 · 18/08/2009 12:19

emmajlh, i ate blue cheese with a glass of wine last night - hic

applesaretheonlyfruit · 19/08/2009 23:20

Hi everyone,

Probably waving to an empty bus, but anyway.. Only really about 5 to 6 days left for us early testers to find out if we are on the April bus.

I was planning to test on Friday, 14 days after ov'ed (I think, after mmc), but I have had the palest, slightest, smallest bleed on Monday, then Tuesday, then today. But no actually AF... no idea what's happening.

Will probably be sitting here on my own for a bit.

applesaretheonlyfruit · 20/08/2009 19:33

I am on my own... even the driver has buggered off.. I think I will jump on the seats.

You know what, Apples? I think I will test on Saturday.. or Sunday.

Really Apples? Is that a good idea??

I don't know, Apples, but it beats sitting here talking to myself...
