TTC and TWW, AF due 5th March - can you help me keep my sanity?

Hi

Im now 9 days past ovulation with a BFN using first response this morning yet my breast are unusually large. They are quite painful from right after ovulation until AF.

My husband and I have been TTC since Dec 08 and MC at 14 weeks in June, now almost 9 months ago, i am of course dissapointed when AF arrives each month but what kills me more is this dreaded TWW

Would be keen to vent my 'phantom' symptoms with aynone else

Thanks! I used First Response (I think that's what it is called - pink box). I've used them in the past when had scares (oh, the old days when I used to try NOT TC!) but never had a BFP. I've really felt pregnant though. HOWEVER, AF only really due any day from now, tend to have 32 days, and today CD28, so need to be really careful and not get too excited....must be only 2 weeks max.

Luce, yes I too have been using first response , Olivietti perhaps your ovulation date was before mine on the 19th or perhaps I'm just not pregnant!!

Cozie - tbh my cycle has been all over the place since January (came off pill in October, had two 32 day cycles then a 56 day cycle!!!), so I can't really work it out, although after I got my last AF I did an OPK and got a surge CD CD18. But then everyone's different and I know people who have had BFN BFN BFN.....BFP!! I'll keep my fingers double crossed. xxxxxxxx

Lucy

Sorry I'm not sure by your -be if you mean she has tested bfn or bro! Golly I hate these abbreviations, makes us already obsessed woman sound not too clever as well !!!

Ol, (hope you don't mind( what date would your cd18 have been?

I'm not sure if it is, some say it can be and some say it otherwise, everything in this game is a maybe until proven otherwise

Cozie - so CD18 would have been Friday 19th. So not very long ago at all! Which is why I am not getting too excited....

Hey luce, didn't mean to loose you, regarding your other link can you send me it I can't find it on here

it seems both olivetti and I both ovulated on the 19th.

I'd have thought hanky panky 10 times that week plus preseed and testing posiive for ovulation would be enough but with 4 neg tests I'm still no further forward!!

Ol what was your partners reaction???

By the way I feel sooo normal today apart from the mucas, breasts now normal just raised bumps on the aeola's or what ever they are called

Coz. X

Congrats Olivetti!! how early did you test?

AF not arrived here yet either but got a bit of a shock today when found out i may be made redundant. Could this affect AF's arrival i wonder? could possibly be really bad timing to fall pg now but if i'm going to be off work anyway...

I'm on an i phone on the net using the house broadband whilst the the husband does work on the laptop! It's just not so easy to go through the forums to search for it, I've looked in last 15 mins etc but couldn't see it babe

if you go on to it and then when you'd type www and the rest of a web address put your cursor in there, press ctrl and a and then all should highlight black then press ctrl and c to copy go to new message on here and press ctrl and v to paste it, xx

Hello, can I join you too please? TTC No 2, on cycle 2. Not sure about my cycle length as periods always been erratic, but I'm on CD23 so expecting AF sometime around the weekend. Only symtom is sore boobs, but I think my system is messed up from the Mirena coil. Had serious pg symptoms last month - felt just like pg with DD, but wasn't. Struggling to remember whether I used to get sore boobs before (was on depo and no periods for years and years, then pg and BF, then Mirena so I have no idea!)

Think I am driving myself mad too and I promised myself not to get obsessed.

Congrats to Olivetti!
