AF arrived today. I thought I would be a bit more upset or annoyed about the whole thing but I just felt like I normally do; pissed off about being roasting hot and crippled with cramps. Got the feeling that DP was a bit disappointed, said he wasn't but he's been a bit subdued. He was of the opinion that it would happen in the first month (ah bless), telling him was a bit like letting slip to a kid that there was no Santa. He has been making me vodka and cokes all evening though, they help with the cramps!

sunchild77 · 25/06/2010 10:11

Yup Nicola is was the FR test I did...

Corabear - Im sorry AF got you, pamper yourself for the next wee while. As my lovely DH says a BFN just means that you get to have more sex..LOL
Totally understand your frustration though.

Funny that it didnt pick it up before

AF still not arrived but i did a test last night, just a cheepy one and still BFN!

sunchild77 · 25/06/2010 11:14

Yeah I thought it was weird too. But then thinking about it, I think I ovulated later in the month, so Im guessing that it was just too early to pick up the hormones at day 24/25 ?

Boobs like rockets now though....!

Hi everyone, can I join in?

I need some fellow 2WW-ers to obsess with!

TTCing number 3, have DS1 (4) & DS2 (2), only the first proper month of trying, and was meant to be just 'seeing how it went', haha!
So of course I want to get pg NOW and can't stop thinking about it, lol!

Normally have 34/35day cycles, normally OV about day 18/19.

Only managed to 'try' CD 14 & CD21 so not really v likely this month but I'm still obsessing!

CoraBear · 25/06/2010 21:25

I feel your pain Nicola, AF is a very unwanted guest as far as I am concerned. I don't know if it's just some sort of vengeful coincidence because I was trying to get pregnant, but I've been so sick this month. Could be due to the kinder bueno and peanut m&m feast that I had for dinner. Belly may not be growing in the near future but my arse definately will be!

I have a question: What's CD? As in JustKeepSwimming with CD14 and CD21? Sorry if this is something plainly obvious but I'm new to all this trying to conceive business and haven't got my head around the acronyms. I was trying to be all relaxed about the whole thing but now I want to pee on ovulation sticks and look out for egg white knickers(yuck!) and so forth. Works pretty quiet and there's sod all on the telly so I need a project.

JustKeepSwimming · 26/06/2010 09:02

LOL

CD just means Cycle Day, could just use D I suppose, dunno why these things end up with so many acronyms really!

Well had a few glasses of wine with friends last night, oops, but not putting life on hold 'in case'. yet.

no symptoms to report.

CoraBear · 26/06/2010 11:34

Oh cool. I was checking out the ovulation kits too. They seem pretty straight forward. Is there any brand that is better than the other? My DP works for a pharmeceutical company so we'll get them cheaper, but we kind of have to get them in bulk so I don't want to get loads of ones that are annoying.I can't bear anything that's not straightforward.Suddenly have an image of myself sitting in a room surrounded by thousands of ovulation kits furiously drinking water, trying to use them all up.

JustKeepSwimming · 26/06/2010 12:09

Funny Cora! I have never had much success with OPKs (ovulation predictor kits!) as when i tried them i had PCOS but didn't know.
I took my temperature and charted it- have you looked at the fertility friend website? very handy for keeping records of things, it is free, though you can pay a little for extras.

This time i'm not temping yet but i still put in my days of AF and BD to keep track.

Slight spotting this morning, could it be something???

CoraBear · 26/06/2010 14:05

I too have PCOS, I had an incident a few years ago, where for no apparent reason all the cysts burst at the same time and did quite a bit of damage. I was told at the time to start having my kids straight away because there "wouldn't be much hope after 30". I'm 30 now and have only got my life in order to consider babies. My DP was certain he would knock me up on the first go but it didn't happen and now I have this little nagging voice saying I wasted all my twenties having fun, getting drunk and travelling when I should have been barefoot and pregnant. Now I'm barefoot(too warm for shoes), not pregnant and watching Fraiser re-runs. Damn!

midori1999 · 28/06/2010 10:58

Sorry to hear you got AF Corabear and Nicolaplus1.

I am on CD23, 7 days PO, and the ruge to test is driving me bonkers!

Does anyone know how sensitive the FR early tests are? The Superdrug ones are sensitive to 10ml, (I think it's ml!) are they more sensitive than that?

JustKeepSwimming · 28/06/2010 11:37

CoraBear - i remember that feeling too from pre-DS1, and wishing we'd got going earlier. Hope you get pg soon so you can say told you so to that voice

Midori - i don't know but pretty sure 7 days PO is still too early! step away from the tests!!

Well I'm CD26 now, and spotting the last couple of days, have no idea what it means, if anything. Sometimes I do spot when not pg so could be nothing...or maybe implantation?

really i shouldn't get my hopes up at all this month as our timings were terrible!

StormTTCbabyNo1 · 28/06/2010 14:25

Hi Everyone,

Just stumbled across your post and found it very interesting - hope you don't mind me posting but you may be able to ease my insanity.

I'm now on my very first 2WW. I'm only 2DPO and I'm already driving myself mad with symptom spotting etc. (laughable) - IS THIS NORMAL??

I've been using the Clear Blue Fertility Monitor cos I've been so obsessed since my DH & I had to make a very hard and horrible decision at 15wks PG with my first. So we're pretty sure we got to SWI on the nose of actual OV.....and before....and after LOL.

How do you girls cope?

x Storm x

JustKeepSwimming · 28/06/2010 20:40

I am with you on driving yourself mad, lol!!

Today possible symptoms:

2 spots (don't normally suffer)
slightly tender boobs (could be from overtight bra, laundry falling behind, lol!)
falling asleep when i laid on the bed playing with DS2

have no pg tests in the house which is helping so far, but may have to get some soon...!

Storm all perfectly normal dear LOL

Only another 10-12 days of phantom syptoms to go

OP posts:
CoraBear · 28/06/2010 22:18

I was the same, I symptom spotted myself into a tizzy and I still got my period. I think it's a bit like shaking your Christmas presents to see what you got. But fingers crossed for everybody!!!!

StormTTCbabyNo1 · 29/06/2010 19:50

Ok girlies I've made a decision and one I WILL stick too...........

Well I'm determined to at the moment!!!

No matter how much my tummy aches, how dizzy I get, how much I wee, how many times I want to lose my rag, how sore my breasticle get and how tired I feel I will not be testing until I am CD40 (if I get there before AF arrives). I'm on CD18 now so I've got until the 18th July.

Anyone think I can I can do it??

JustKeepSwimming · 29/06/2010 21:27

Lol Storm, maybe

Day 40 for me would be...July 12th, pretty sure i won't make that, lol!
Aiming for 35 or 36/7th or 8th July. I will know by then anyway i think.

Tired & lethargic but that's probably just the heat

StormTTCbabyNo1 · 29/06/2010 21:41

I've got my fingers and toes crossed for you JustKeepSwimming

midori1999 · 30/06/2010 12:22

Well, I couldn't resist and tested on Monday, 7 days PO. Suprise, suprise, BFN.

I am trying to wait until Saturday to test, but I am 10 days PO tomorrow and have a test in the house that says it works up to 4 days before your period is due, so I doubt I can wait until Saturday. Slightly annoying, too, as I have a function to attend on Saturday and won't be able to drink in case I am pregnant as not due AF until Monday/Tuesday.
