1st December testers??? Think soy helped me Ov earlier!!

[angelpants]

I had this conversation with my OH last night. I know everyone has their own opinions, and I completely respect that, but I don't see a problem with having an odd glass of wine on the 2ww. Yes, we all know that it isn't good for you (what EVER!!!!), and for that reason it should be done in moderation. But to put your life on hold indefinitely (seriously, ttc takes years for some people!) just seems like its going to create more stress in the long run, and where if you lead your life, albeit a bit more carefully you should be fine.
There are always going to be more arguments against rather than for, but please don't feel guilty hun.

Ok, rant over!

thanks hun
Feel better for hearing someone else agrees with me!
Thing is it was the first drink i have had in bloomin' months and i still felt guilty!!! Anyhoo not to worry I did enjoy the 2 glasses i had

Just had my lunch and still feeling sick. Actually feel like i could chunder at any moment.
Got docs appointment tomorrow morning first thing to get bloods taken to check hormones for OV etc. NOT looking forward to that. I don't mind needles or getting injections but I bloomin HATE getting blood taken makes me feel all sweaty and faint....hahaha i'm such a wimp!!

How many dpo are you hun? The doctor may be able to give you some good news! xx

 

[angelpants]

well i "think" that I am about 10dpo today if I o'd earlier coz of soy (going by Ov pains) if not then i am only 4 or 5 dpo going by my normal (if not weird) cycle

[loolindley]

Oooh, at 11dpo, the doc could DEFINITELY give you some good news!

FX for you love. xx

I too had a drink last night and hubs and I too have had the convo that a drink is fine. And I agree with you all because after 8 months of trying I can't put everything on hold for half of every month.

Incidentally I also POAS this morning because my bbs have been so sensitive and hey people occasionally get BFPs that early right? Definitely BFN.

Happy Thanksgiving all!

Exactly right hun, it's finding that balance of trying to be prepared and not to put your life on hold that's hardest.

How many DPO are you?? It's not over till the witch shows up!!

8 today I believe, 9 perhaps my pre ov temps were a little higher than normal so it was a bit hard to tell. I'm expecting pre AF cramps to start monday with AF starting sometime between mon & wed which will be 12-14dpo.

I have a whole stack of tests tho so I figure - ehh what the heck maybe it will be an extra happy thanksgiving

Seems like every month around 8-9dpo I start thinking about it constantly and that's when I break down and test *just in case*

 

[angelpants]

Morning all.....
how are we this morning?
SO have you managed to resist temptation fisher640? Or have you caved and tested?!!
Loo - saw your post this morning hun, really hope this is your BFP!! how exciting!!

Well i stupidly did another test this morning (my last tesco one) and it was BFN.
Which was no surprise really. I defo think AF is on her way, I've had terrible cramps, sore head and was (and still am) a grumpy cow last night. Even picked a fight with hubby then burst into tears when I got one!! LOL Hubby even said that AF was just round the corner as it's the way I always get! Just want her to show now get started on another cycle.

Also had my bloods taken this morn at docs. Have to wait 7-10 for progesterone count results to come back. I hate waiting, and that seems like such a long time to wait, its gonna feel like forever!!

cramping - check
sore head - check
being a grumpy cow - check! Double check the last one!

Ive been a nightmare since I woke up yesterday morning. Nagging my OH, getting the humph for no reason at all. Luckily he is very understanding, but sometimes I wonder why he takes it!!

Well my story is a bit of a non story. Been up since 3.30, had a pee, in my wisdom at 6.30 I decided to test with second mu. I got no colour apart from the control line, so I know it is a negative, but where the positive line was meant to be, I got the outline mark. Ive never had this before, so it has given me lots of hope. What I really want now is a frer to take, but not sure I can get hold of one because the snow is so bad where we live. RUBBISH!

How is everyone else this morning? xx

 

[angelpants]

OMG!!!
sounds soooo promising though!!!
Can you order a FRER online? Think amazon do the next day delivery before 12pm option (although you pay extra obvs)
YOU NEED TO TEST AGAIN!!! teehee

[loolindley]

do you know I toyed with getting one off amazon last night, but decided if I really wanted one id get the OH to pick one up out of town.

We are meant to be going away for the weekend this afternoon, so if we can get through the snow, i'll pick one up from somewhere.

Keep your fingers crossed for me! xx

 

[angelpants]

have a lovely weekend....i have everything crossed for you lovely! excited for you!!

[saysib]

Hi ladies! So excited that we are getting close to testing!! I've been trying to avoid this site in order to maintain my lack of symptom spotting, but that really isnt going well, lol

I am still having some low cramping, but looking back at posts from last month I had them then too The only thing I do have that feels different is a preesure type feeling, almost like a bearing down kinda feeling?

to us all

 

[angelpants]

Here's hoping that's the symptom that makes the difference saysib!!!
I seem to have all the same symptoms as last month too, including feeling sick.
Really feel like AF is on her way even though not due for days yet.
The only thing i noticed is that my boobs have been on fire, but that disappeared so who knows!!!!! Have a lovely weekend all.....

Hi Ladies glad to have found a family I am 6 days past ovulation and I have pcos and dont get AF unless I took medication. this cycle I took soy 80 mg day 5-9 and last sunday I took an ovulation test with all the signs I had came back that I did in fact ovulate and now I am just waitin hoping for a BFP by next weekeng or AF either one will be a blessing cause I dont have either.................BB dust to you all.

 

[fisher640]

My bbs seem to not be quite as sore this AM, still sore but def not worse than other months. BFN again this AM (because I've totally given in and am just testing now)

The only other 'maybe' symptom I've got is an increase in acne. I usually get 1 every 2-3 months but this week I've had 4!

Hope things are going better for the rest of you!!!

Good Evening Ladies!

How are the girls in my favourite thread doing? Any weekend news?

Well, on Friday night I went to a gig, but was very good and didn't jump around, but all the standing, heat and crowds made me have some funny uncomfortable pains. Not like AF, but cramping in that area.
I took a frer on Saturday morning at 10dpo, but it was definitely negative. I went off and had a fab day at the Good Food Show, but got more of the pains, only worse. Definitely not AF pain, more like O pain, but worse.
This morning my temperature dropped below the cover line, and FF changed its mind, and said that I O'd two days earlier than I did, and brought down my cover temperature to a lower one. That baffled the hell out of me as Im now 13dpo, not 11. Im not thinking too much of it though as AF is due tomorrow, and Im definitely out because of my temps dropping so much.

There is always next month right?

Come on ladies, cheer me up with your stories!

 

[fisher640]

10-11dpo here today. BFN again this morning maybe some minor cramping today. Bbs less sore than they were. Feeling a little bummed about it all and less hopeful.

I'm trying to figure out some way that next month I can avoid the obsessing during the TWW but I've been charting for 2.5 years now (that's what we were using as birth control prior to TTC) and once you start paying attention to things like CM it's impossible to miss and I kind of wish I could ignore all that now and just BD in ignorance....

 

[loolindley]

I agree. I've only been ttc since August but it's turned me into a bit of a stress head. I'm so aware of my body now that every pain, twinge, or mood alerts me into TTC analyse mode! It's definately been hard on us, but because we want a child so much I know I won't be able to stop all the planning ahead.

AF due today and I can feel her coming. Will have a cry after, but then onto the next cycle! xx
