Thank you for the explanation

Also Guys, how soon can you get pregnancy symptoms ? I know I had first symptoms before my missed period with all 3 of mine pregnancies . But now I am just 2 days after ovulation ( or at least what an online calculation says ) and I feel different . I mean I feel exactly how I felt with each of my pregnancies ... Upset stomach unless I eat something , lower back ache , pressure / mild pain in my lower abdomen , tired , small headaches and changes in taste and smell . I feel like I am crazy because I know it is to soon . Unless I ovulated sooner than I thought ...

And I forgot the breast tenderness

Yay!! Good stuff dogtanian - now you're into the fun of the 2ww!! Fingers x for you xx

Proudmomma2b - I hope this is your bfp! You're the expert on how you feel so fingers x! Personally, I was fairly sure I was pg this month with loads of symptoms which turned out to not be so I'm suspicious of my own symptom spotting!! But fingers x for you xx and no worries re the abbreviations! Far too many on here and the thread explaining was ages ago - I can't figure out how to search for it!

Good luck everyone! Xx

Thank you, but you never know . Today I feel quite normal except for my breasts hurting quite a bit . May be it's just in my head . Will see. I am not gonna take a test unless I am day after my expected period . Or that's what I am planning on but I always say that and than I just cannot wait any longer . I was pregnant last month and it was our first month trying so there is a chance it happened this fast but also we want to increase the chance of having a girl so we always stop having 2 days before ovulation so this may take a while . It took us 4 months with our first child and we pretty much every day . Sometimes I am confused how it works . You have lot of sex , it takes a while . You don't have much and it happens right away

Haha it seems there is no rhyme or reason when it comes to the birds and the bees!!

Castaway you will be pleased to hear my cbfm is ready to go for cd4 tomorrow - fingers x!!!! I am now trying to figure out where to stash it in my bathroom away from my mums snooping when she looks after my dd!!! Haha!!

Why nobody invented pregnancy test that tells you like 10 days before missed period I am so impatient

Good luck to you this month

Wonderful news! Now the first month may be a bit stick crazy, by your second month (if you are not blessed right away) is even more accurate.

I made sure we did every other high and we tried to do each peak day. Surprisingly enough both times we conceived we did the deed on the high days only! lol

 

[Twinks]

Hello everyone!! We arrived back safe and sound this evening and I've been dying o get online to chat with you all! I've tried to quickly read the missed responses. Hi everyone that's joined us and welcome to u all. Dogtanian fantastic news that you're in the 2ww :-D Fleur sorry AF got u but we can be cbfm buds as I'm on it this month lol!
I'm currently on cd11 today and the first high. My second high will be tomorrow then two days of peak. I'm trying to mimic what we did last time when ttc my ds lol. We dtd on the second high, both peaks and final high day on the monitor. Castaway I'm also using the conceieve plus (like preseed now too) so fx lol.
We had a fantastic holiday and my ds was so good on both plane journeys/ all week and had a fab time playing on the beach!
Castaway fantastic news that all went well on Tuesday and glad you're doing well. Hope that ankles feeling good too!
Random one but I'm going shopping for ds this weekend as I'm ever so slightly obsessed with Sainsburys clothes for boys so going to make the most of their 25% off! Sorry I just had to put that out there :-D As some of you know I love shopping!!

 

[Fleur29]

Yay welcome back twinks! Glad you had fab hols and ds was a good boy. Playing on the beach sounds like so much fun!

Thanks for letting me know what you guys did re cbfm and bd - good to know! I just hope I get high/peak days - eeek!! Looking forward to doing some peeing on sticks the next few days (best not to think about how much the sticks are - arghhggg!)

Twinks - thanks for sainos info, I love love love their kids clothes too so will def be paying a visit this wknd, didn't know there was a sale!

Ps I ordered those boots I was going on about! So not one af present (my cbfm) but also some winter boots too - very naughty!!!! ;-)

Thanks hun. I know everyone's different tho as Castaway u fell pregnant with just doing the highs on the cbfm didn't u, but that didn't work for me last month. So going to try the pattern that seemed to work for me. I'm a right saddo and get ridiculously excited when I see it go to high and then peak. It is so good for telling u when your ovulating as I always seem to get two peaks on cd 13 and 14
. Keep me posted Fleur as to how you're getting on as it gets up to the highs. Urgh the sticks are ridiculously expensive aren't they! But will be worth it if we see a BFP soon
Lol but winter boots are a necessity with the way this weathers deteriorating ;-) so a very justified purchase I'd say :-D what are the boots like? I'm just in love with sainsburys clothes for some reason. Asda and Tesco do lovely clothes too so don't know why but I'm just in love with literally all the boys clothes in sainsburys. My oh will ban my card after this weekend ha ha ha! Can't wait!

 

[Fleur29]

I will keep you posted! Be good to know what's going on to be honest! I'm sure I ov late but be good to know one way or another.

Yes the sticks are horrifically pricey but as you say - hopefully worth it for a swift bfp!

I also love asda and tesco - my dd is always in those brands!

The boots are from marks and spencer (shhhh!!!!) they're knee high heeled boots for work (I sound like a hooker, don't I??! save for the m&s bit) I always find their shoes fit me really well and their heels are high enougg but also comfortable. Anyway I'm a mum now so shopping at m&s is allowed!! ;-)

Welcome back Twinks! Yes, I did it only on highs and ended up pregnant both times This time my money is on a girl, we dtd 4 and 5 days from ovulation...so I am interested to see if the Shettles method has any substance to it

My ankle is doing well, I am walking with out assistance but it is so tight I tend to limp. I am in Physical therapy and hoping within a month or two I will be as good as new!

Lol Fleur you're too funny! They don't sound hookerish at all- they sound lovely! I always admire people that wear heels as I walk like a duck wearing any form of heel larger than 1cm :-D M&S do such lovely things! Ohh I can feel a big shopping trip this weekend lol! There's an M&S and next right next door to sainsburys on the retail park we're going too ha ha!

 

[Dogtanian]

Welcome back Twinks!
Ive just got home from sainsburys! love their clothes OH even has a few bits from there sometimes.
Glad to see everyone is all set with their CBFM for this cycle.I really want one but just cant afford it at the mo,so im very jealous of you girls.
We had last night for the first time in about 5 days,and afterwards i had some very light pinkish brown spotting,woke up this morning and its got a little bit heavier.Ive got no period symptoms no cramps nothing,but im assuming im on CD1 and not 4DPO.
Normally i would be worried about a period at 4 DPO but as everything is all over the place after BC im thinking just wait a little while longer and give myself a chance to regulate.What do you think?

 

[Fleur29]

Could it be ovulation spotting or implantation bleeding dogtanian? Fingers x for you. It's rubbish when you're not quite sure where you are in your cycle

I think cbfm should be free on the nhs!!!! Mine was £64 on amazon which is disgustingly expensive but cheaper than in boots etc and I had a voucher my fil had given me - I don't think I will be letting him know how I spent it!!! Ha! X

 

[Twinks]

Girls I'm off to a baby shower in a min lol. This is going to make me even more broody!!! I was oohing and ahhing over all the bubba clothes in sainsburys earlier and bought a cute lil dungaree set for the mummy to be
Hey Dogtanian, it's rubbish u don't know where u are in your cycle but hang in there things will start to regulate themselves. I think it took me about 12 weeks for my cycles to regulate when I came off bc. I totally agree with Fleur that the cbfms are crazy expensive! Do you usually get light spotting before a period Dogtanian? Like Fleur saidaybe it's implantation bleeding? Baby dust to us all and we'll be trying to join u very soon Castaway lol! Looking forward to seeing some BFPs for Oct babies!
Right, off to the baby shower I go lol...

 

[Fleur29]

Ah hope the baby shower goes well twinks. I had to dig out some of our newborn girls clothes for my friend the other day and it made me even more broody, so tiny and snuggly!! I really hope we get our bfps soon girls, def reckon castaway needs some buddies to join her in first tri!! xx
