[Waitng4Baby#1]

And giggles too

Nupu - havent a clue hun, sounds odd. I assume you are still getting + HPKs? I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

Squirrel - thought you are supposed to be all chilled and relaxed in the TTHF and not worrying about the 2WW

Hippie Ive just started to read the journals (well Ive read one). Not sure I have the dedication to do it, but if you do let us know and we'll go in and stalk you on your journal!

Lucky loving the tip about being able to see all of the posts and not having to memorise them all... I see I have missed you this morning - perhaps tomorrow.

Im on CD9, starts friday as we are on the SMEP - bring it on, still feeling full of PMA this month...

 

[LuckyD]

Hi everyone!

Isi Buttercup - yep, I have an LP that's on the short side, so while that isn't great, it means my 2WW is a bit shorter at least! Hope you are doing well x

Hey Hippietea - I just started a journal a little while ago, I find it useful - it's a place where you can just rant and rave and write whatever you want!

nupu - oh my god! I understand you can't get excited yet...but has this happened to you before? And your digis moving from 1-2, to 2-3 weeks.....wow. You KNOW I have everything crossed for you. Can't wait to hear how the scan goes!!

Welcome Mrsshacklock - your date has been added good luck!

spicy - so, so sorry love hope you are doing ok and fingers crossed for next month

oh giggles - so sorry to you as well you ok? Big hugs and positive thoughts for next time

Waiting4Baby - great to hear you are full of PMA! We followed SMEP last month, and kind of this month..didn't quite finish it! I thought you start BDing on CD8? Good luck - hope it works for you!

Well, CD6 or 7 for me today...no symptoms at all yet..I just have a feeling that this is not my month. And I am actually ok with that. I don't know why I feel this - but all I know is that this feels better than getting stressed and anxious and all that stuff - so I'm just going with it!

Hope you all are doing well xx

Hi Ladies, I'm early on in the 2WW and can hardly stand it!!! I'm literally just sitting here, reading every single post on BnB and WAITING...ugh! Need to get back to TTHF.

I have read more good than bad about it. Yes, it's my first month trying it. I know of a couple ladies on the SMEP thread who took RRL (red raspberry leaf) for the first time this month and both got their BFP now! So, I'm sold on it. Plus it tastes really good as a tea, and I also got caplets.

You're selling me on the RRL tea. It's one of the ingredients in my FertiliTea...wonder if that's good enough?

If your fertilitea has it in there, I wouldn't do more... I've read that you can take one cup or so when trying and in 1st tri, the 2 cups in the 2nd, and 3 in 3rd... So probably not best to over-do it.

Hi everyone!

Been away for a while, so read through thread this afternoon - it's great to see so many positive outlooks - must be something to do with age

Thank you to everyone for the good wishes they sent when I had my bleed last week - however, the story doesn't end there!

I went out with friends and got a little merry as I thought everything was over for this month - I gues I'm so used to it - but over the weekend, despite brown discharge, I still had very slight symptoms - sore bbs etc - but not as strong as before.

On Sunday, discharge stopped and returned to clear almost ewcm with a tinge of orange? but symptoms really kicked in on Monday - really sore bbs, hungry, tight tummy etc. Phoned consultant who advised to take the aspirin & progesterone pessaries (mmm lovely!) and to go for a scan next Monday - he wouldn't be able to see a lot before that - I'd be just over 5 weeks. Digital Clearblue tests have moved for 1-2weeks to 2-3 weeks over the weekend too.

What on earth is going on???? I just can't get excited though so we'll see.

Good luck to everyone whether it is for this cycle or the next

Wait... what??!!??!?!! I had to re-read this a few times! Sending all sorts of luck and your way!!!

 

[MyTurnYet]

Hi Everyone
MyTurnYet- I completely UNDERSTAND!! I feel like I've read every single thread possible!! I'm trying to be cool and relaxed and then I keep thinking of different things to search, like certain symptoms etc. I'm obsessed with countdowntopregnancy.com because of the day to day symptom list....aghhh I said I would be relaxed this month.
I'll try to work on this.

I did not know about the coundowntopregnancy site...going to check it out now. Bet I'll be on there the next couple of hours.

 

[SquirrelGirl]

from the site's homepage:

Wondering if you might be pregnant? Track your very early signs and symptoms and compare with other women who became pregnant. Also compare with your previous cycles to track any new and promising symptoms! It's never too early to speculate!

Looks like this site WANTS us to go psycho crazy in the TWW!

Hahaha...they do!!! I'm not really feeling any symptoms today, though. Oh well. TTHF!

So this totally just triggered a Dr. Seuss line in my head: Somehow you’ll escape all that waiting and staying. You’ll find the bright places where Boom Bands are playing.

That is awesome

 

[Isi Buttercup]

Lucky you, LuckyD . The 2ww is the l.o.n.g.e.s.t time in the world, for real!!!

Sending mega hugs to all those AF got! Roll on the next cycle! Hopefully those are coming soon!

As for me, I am 4dpo and I have zero symptoms. I almost always cramp during my 2ww, so I am discounting that as a symptom. But my (.) couldn't be any more normal....CM is pretty much the same I guess..... Ah well, we'll just keep on watching and hoping

Have a great day everyone!

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Blargh! I just got hit. Then I re-read Nupu's posts more closely and got all hopeful ; P I'm quite sure I won't be repeating that miracle though!

 

[LuckyD]

Hey Isi, 4dpo is still early days...you have plenty of time to develop all sorts of symptoms to obsess over! Hope it doesn't drive you crazy....I am sure time didn't used to go so slow before ttc!

Ah Jaimie, so sorry love That is truly crap. Hope you are doing ok and you know I am here if needed

 

[MyTurnYet]

Aw, Jaimie

Isi Buttercup - it looks like we're due to test the same day! How are you keeping up? I feel hopeful at times, but then not so hopeful at others. Hate this 2ww. Do you have any symptoms? Right now, I'm so tired...all I want to do is sleep. That's not really unusual for me, though.

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Well, grrr, I just checked the first page to see who was going to be testing next and saw my name on the 15th. I was pretty sure that wasn't right, so it forced me to figure out my real date. booo, I was doing so well to not think about it!

Anyway, LuckyD, would you mind changing my date to the 19th? AF is due the 18th, but not planning to test til then. Last month I went crazy POAS. Not going to do that again!

No worries love, will change it now. You have been doing amazingly well not to think about things too much and not symptom spotting! I am very impressed xx plus you are being a good influence on me and reminding me to chill!

Thanks! Not sure if I'll make it the whole month, but doing the best I can!

Thanks LuckyD - the story continues too! This morning used last digi test and although I shoul be 5 weeks Sat it came up as 3+! I've stayed at home for the last two days and worked from home and the bleed has reduced (I won't say stopped in case I jinx it!) Scan tomorrow! I know they won't see anything apart from if there is anything in there but that would be a start!.

FXd for you too & for all the other ladies in this thread. Really hope BFPs come your way

 

[Isi Buttercup]

Thanks LuckyD....I'll try not to obsess too much . I'll try to keep myself busy so time can pass quickly. How are you hun? Its almost time for you to test

Hey Myturn....yipee cycle buddies . Gosh, same here....hopeful sometimes, and not at all other times. I'm also scared we BD'd a bit late.... I just have mild cramping, which is normal for me between o and AF. But no tiredness...no sore boobies...I really don't know. We'll just have to wait and see

Good luck everyone!

Good luck for you scan love!! Let us know how it goes. Really, really, really hope you get some answers and some good news soon! Are you ok? Not going too crazy? Oh, I want this to be it for you so much!

Hey there Isi...well, I have been real good at not obsessing or worrying too much...but I think I'm losing it now! For the first time this month I have some potential symptoms.....but I have had HEAPS of symptoms in other months as well, so don't want to read too much into it. I have had low down cramps today and yesterday, and today my BBs are getting sore - but not AF sore, kind of burny and achy. But still so aware that it could be nothing!!

 

[Isi Buttercup]

OMG....that sounds so exciting LuckyD!!!! I really pray those symptoms are an indication of a . As for me, I have my usual post o cramping and mild nausea. They used to deceive me as potential symptoms in the past, but not anymore . But my boobs never lie to me though. Even when I have all the symptoms in the world, they have never gone achy....which is why I think that must be THE main symptom . Right now, my boobs are not at all sore, I have the energy of an ox, I'm not peeing up a storm......in short, none of the usual "symptoms" at 5dpo. I guess we just have to see.

But I am so excited for you though . I really hope its a

 

[bonjo808]

"But my boobs never lie to me though."....haha this is the best quote ever and I agree I can always tell whether its AF or not based on my boobs.

Jaimie

lots of to everyone. I'm entering the 2ww now yuck!
