Anyone starting their 2 week wait today ish and want to obsessive symptom spot ?

[mousemole]

Month 3 of ttc and hoping it will be my lucky month . Day 14 today and am ovulating so lots of bd'ing. Now the dreaded 2 week wait ! Anyone else got similar timings ?

Fingers crossed Spirael and commiserations to Curly

Not testing today - I only have Tesco cheapies in the house and they won't be sensitive enough. I convinced myself last night that it was all in the mind and AF was on her way, but today I think it could go either way - just keeping an eye out for the normal pre AF spotting that would normally start this afternoon and, of course, hoping I don't find any

Oooh ooh ooh
Spirael even a faint 2nd line counts.

Congratulations xxx

I now have really strange stabbing pains in my left boob - quite uncomfortable !!

Hooray for you Spirael how exciting - aline is a line, and it's more of a line than i have at the mo so hooray for you.

just waiting, waiting and more waiting

jools when are you testing? I'm on tenterhooks.... Your symptoms just keep getting stronger...

Well stil no pre AF spotting

I've put jeans on for the first time since the Summer and had to take them off again, as my abdomen does NOT like the pressure, even though the jeans aren't tight.

I splashed out on 2 ClearBlue Digis - may use one tomorrow if I don't see any spotting, but may wimp out and wait till Monday. Fertility Friend tells me I shouldn't test till Tuesday (15DPO)

I keep coming back to check

Excellent news spir. Might not be around for your update but I'm certain it will be good.

Still no period - jools you certainly appear to be our next best hope at the moment!

Good luck!

Well, I guess you can't argue with the 'Pregnant' on the CBD! 1-2 weeks apparently, which makes sense given that I'm fairly sure I implanted last Monday now.

Here's the stats, in case they're useful to anyone, or anyone is particularly interested.

I've been temperature checking each morning and I'm pretty sure I ovulated on approximately day 14. DTD a few days before, during and after to make sure the whole period was covered.

Had what can only be described as period pains on 9 days after ovulation, that's exactly what they felt like. Presumably that must have been the moment of implantation. They lasted for most of the day, but there was no bleeding.

Since then, I've had no further symptoms and I still have nothing at the moment! So I guess early symptoms aren't necessary in the slightest. Just to give some hope to people who haven't felt a thing during their 2ww.

Anyway... The test yesterday was 14 dpo and I got a faint line. Then the BFP on the CBD was 15 dpo - on the day AF is due.

I hope that might be helpful to someone!

Told You!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

See you on May a/n perhaps? xx

CONGRATULATIONS Spirael

I did a first response this morning and got a BFN. I was convinced it would be BFP - I have a 2yo DS and am constantly trying to remember the sypmtoms. Last nights trawl through google for 2nd preg symtpoms left me even more convinced. Not had tender breasts this time - but have had the tingle I used to get before I BF my son along the the sore nipples and full feeling. Also read that second time symptoms are often not as intense or can happen sooner which would exlain my carpul tunnel! So all was looking good till this morning.

Not really due AF till Tuesday I think! (not been off pill for long and only had one cycle since stopping) so Anyone with a story about how FR are pants and they lie would be greaty apriciated!

Good luck to any1 else testing today!

Hooray for Spirael

mrsws - I actually hate First Response - have peed on a lot of them and always got a BFN, so they have unlucky associations for me.

I used a ClearBlue digi this morning, 13DPO and got "Not Pregnant", much to my amazement and disappointment. Still no sign of AF - although not due till late Monday, I normally get a bit of spotting and there has been nothing at all. Boobs are still very tender, but don't feel as full as they did a couple of days ago.

I'm guessing this has been a very very strange cycle but not successful - maybe an early implantation failure ?? If AF isn't here by Tuesday, I'll test again but I'm kind of resigned to the fact she must be on her way. I don't feel too bad considering - I think being busy at work and packing for hols on Wednesday is taking my mind off it. Am already plan next cycle's campaign - I'll get back on CD9 or 10 and hopefully DP will be pleased to see me

jools

fingers crossed for Monday

CBD only has 99 per cent accuracy when period is due - much less than that in the days before. so there's still hope jools

No period yet here...

Nice positive thought Curly. I have tested with a CBD on the day before Af is due before and got a Bfp so am not holding out too much hope. However boobs are sore and no pre Af spotting tgat I would have expected to see by now.

Fingers crossed for us both

Hello all. New to MN so please bear with me while I learn all the abbreviations! Just started TTC#1, so a bit all over the shop with dates etc, but think I got around the right sort of time. Just waiting to see what happens?

Hello Every1

Welcome Ticklepeanut! Dont worry I only joined in last week so I am new too!

Just thought I would see how every1 is doing today. Especially those due AF 14/15 like me! I am currently trying to decide whether or not to do a CB now or wait till tomorrow?
Sympoms are still about but - like Jools I have convinced myself that its not happened this time! (But there is still hope!) Altho I have felt pretty like car sick on n off for the last week and constantly over the weekend. I did get like a car sickness a week or so before my first and not with AF - Ooooh I dont know! think its 50/50!

Hows every1 else?

Hi everyone.

I have been lurking for a few weeks now, but this lovely thread has prompted me to show my face.

I already have a DS (nearly 21 months) and we are TTC No 2. (Can't find the 'hash' key on my Mac...)

My cycles are pretty crazy. Sometimes no period for a couple of months then maybe 35 days. Unbelievably with OPKs DS was conceived first cycle!!

Now on cycle no 3. Last cycle I went a bit mad with First Ripoff Response, testing waaaaaay too early after Ov.

Now on CD38, 10DPO. I have felt mega-bloated for the past few days. TMI alert: On the way to work this morning I felt so much CM though AF had arrived early! Also feel exhausted and am writing this from under my duvet.

Fighting the urge to POAS, especially as DH is away and I want him to be here to read the CB digital screen with me.

Catxx

Well update from me is I have no real news - no AF yet, no cramps, no PMT - just a bit of brown spotting that hasn't conformed to normal pre AF spotting, and I was expecting to be certain by now.

I don't feel PG and have actually gone and got myself a pad to wear to sleep in, as I can't believe it won't be all over by the morning. If it isn't, I have two Boots tests burning a hole in my overnight bag (am away on business) I've got to the point where I can't cope with the uncertainty any more and just desperately need an end to this 2WW

It will be 15DPO tomorrow and my normal luteal phase is 14 days, so I think AF is now just about officially late and I have a clockwork cycle, to the hour

Morning All

Welcome to tickle and Cat and if I missed you beforemrsws

Fingers crossed for you Jools - any news? I tested last week with a Boots cheapie and had a BFN but think I may have been a bit too early. I don't have any more in the house and am resisting buying any.

Curly hope you're still with us. When are you going to test next?

Hi Kaylo, glad you're still looking in on us - how are you feeling?

CD 32 I have been feeling fine, no real symptoms other than (here comes way tmi) lots of cm, clear though and a bit gluey iykwim. Cat i was the same as you, thought AF had arrived. I am fairly bloated as well but thats it. Also, if you manage to find the hash key on your mac, please tell me where it is as i have the same prob

DH has agreed to test on friday, he's been in denial since we began ttc and it was causing a big problem, but when I told him that I could be this cycle he actually looked quite excited and is asking everyday if AF has arrived.

We decided friday as then that makes me cd35 and it should be def by then, plus his parents are here wed/thurs and we go on holiday on monday - yipeee

Have a good day, I'll check in later for any news

xx

Good morning

Welcome Cat seems there are a few of us who have joined in late! Good luck for a few days time!

Jools sorry to hear that - hopefully we will both be able to give better news later but if it aint this month we can carry on practicing! sorry TMI!

How is every1 this morning? I feel rough! like I've been out on the pop all night starting to think I am just coming down with something tho. Could'nt wait for the morning and did a CB last night - Got a BFN! Gutted! still not really sure if I should be getting AF today or tomorrow tho as I am starting to think that the pill I was on (that made me crackers!) might have messed me up abit. Prob just coming down with a cold. Wont really know until she comes! Think I will just have to wait it out tho now. If it does'nt happen by friday maybe then I might do another CB. Sorry for sounding soo negative this early in the morning!

So the sun is shining - today could be the day for the rest of you! So how about every1 else?

I am off to work - Good luck to anyone testing today!

Morning all - still no AF and spotting stopped overnight, so I tested this morning - BFN

Presumably AF has just decided to arrive late in order to interfere with my holiday

Still have sore boobs, still no PMT ...

confused

Morning all. I should be at work today but DS has been told to stay away from nursery because of his 'loose bowels'. Groan. So I am stuck at home.

I am trying to be good and not read too many pregnancy threads or watch any TV. But it's not easy!

I hope everyone is well xx

PS SnowBunny Hash key thing was driving me nuts, so I googled it and ta da:
########!!! (Alt+3)

Hi all and welcome to the late new comers.

Yes I am still here snow, had my parents visiting for a few days so didn't manage much MN time. still no period and have tested every few days - all neg. Ebay cheapie said no this morning. Just waiting...

jools From what I've read, i wouldn'd expect to see a BFP until a few days after spotting, so don't give up hope!

cat just give in and indulge! I'm off as well today, hence the MN time while OH has a lie-in. Off house-hunting today.

Hi Cat, hi Mrsws

I'm probably on the wrong thread, as I only started my first 2WW a couple of days ago, but it is so useful as a first-time TTCer to be able to see what symptoms other people are getting. The stuff in baby books is so unreal-sounding!

Good luck everyone!

PS - extra love to those of you on a Mac They rule!
