January 2012 2WW

[HappyLea]

I have been having outrageous dreams! I dreamt i had quintuplets??!! WTF!!! 3 boys and 2 girls...eeek!!!

Well from 2dpo i have been very crampy, lower back pain which is easing now. Today im 4dpo and still feel crampy every now and again also a couple of times today felt abit of stretching pain in my lower stomach. I know the odds for BFP are against me but im feeling very positive.

Did/does anyone else had the cramps/aches and pains so so early? I feel quite in tune with my body and this isnt the norm for me.
My OV pain was extremely painful this cycle and not sure why (thought maybe to do with SP or vitex) i was in agony maybe cramps could be something to do with that.

[purplepoet20]

As of about an hour ago, while driving, I offically joined the 2ww.... lots and lots of pain on both sides but lucky we were stopped at a train crossing (train comes every 20mins). When I came home I noticed a little bit of pink cm so I hope that is normal. Now I just have to wait to test!



I noticed that FRER has a deal on test... buy 1 2pack of test ($8.49 walmart +$2 off coupon) and get 1 2pack of test free with mail-in rebate. With the rebate and coupons that is like getting 4 good quality test for $1.62 each. I did take advantage of it since I only have 1 test left.

Well you already have 3 boys so maybe you will get twins :)

[kaseybaby]

Back in the 2ww. I am 5 DPO, and um....frisky as hell! All I want to do is jump DH! lots of cramps too.

LOL....wowee...your post made me laugh....well i hope your intuition is half as good so you at least get twin girls???how cool would that be eh????.....i was never for taking fertilty drugs...and when doc prescribed the clomid my only thought was..fine i'll try it providing i get a higher chance of having two girls...kind of got me motivated to take it...otherwise i hate all the risks involved and messing with my hormones as such.

welcome back purplepoet....lets hope second time round bring all the luck...

i am today 1 dpo.....i have had a sore achy lower abdomen with all osrt of twinges, pinches and af style sensations ALL day....it feels like i have done 500 situps and hurts to walk 'freely'...so find myself guarded and keeping my stomach muslces pulled in and not letting it all hang out as i feel so sore....some of you may understadn that sensation. i cannot even pull in my lower abs as it hurts..it really is like if you overdid it with your excercise.

i also had two occasions after peeing where yellow snotty like glob like EWCM came out. i think according to some forums i researched it is the cm that accompanies the egg as it is released to assist it with moving down the tube.

well, last cycle i had watery cm in minute amounts in the 2ww so it lowered my hopes for a bfp and made me suspicious that i was NOT pg...if this happens again i may be out. also i wanted to sahre some more info with you..

also here is something i found which i thought wwas quite useful and funny all the same....lol

How Pregnancy Happens (http://websrvr40nj.audiovideoweb.com/avwebdsnjwebsrvr4501/portal/media/media-050516-pregnancy.html)
lol

[HappyLea]

:twins: twin girls would be lovely, DH would say otherwise...lol! That would be freaky tho, not only with dream, but a few months ago a gypsy lady stopped me in blackpool and just said 'i see you will have twins' :suprise: eeek!

Well this evening i been throught the stage of wanting to pounce on hubby and he aint even here, then burst into tears watching tv awards for no reason :confused:

I hope all our cramps and pains are a good sign and we soon get those BFP's rolling in.

[purplepoet20]

Maybe it is the second egg wanting to be fertilized!

[toomanyboys]

girls watch this its hillarious and fab.....lol

Umm... I hope DS1 didn't understand any of it but I think I will save it for when the kids get the sex talk.

[Plum3]

yes he is...it is a private fertility clinic...to do the whole assisted process it will cost me over £600 including medication but that would involve bloods, scan and monitoring. but since conception is a such touch and go thing i cannot afford to fail again and again IYKWIM...i managed to get th e clomid inlcusive with these scans but any more help and then i got pay for it. if i were to go to the NHS i will be put on hold for months esp as i am not an emergency case since i have children already...to get the scans and be referredand frankly i dont want to waste time. plus they wouldnt do much different apart maybe form scanning and blood works....i wouldnt eligible for IVF until i have tried everythign else for at 2 years.

oh does clomid give false positives??i didnt know that...see i am learning something new everyday. the doc told me that the follciles ned to be at least 16mm or more of course to be viable...i am 100% sure i ovulated becasue of the cramping and stiches i have had all day yesterday today i have lots of stiches and cramping in the centre of my uterus so i am not sure whats that all about....my left ovary did not responde the clomid appearantly so i am surpised to get stiches there.

i caught the sure on sunday thought it was pretty positive then but yesterday it went darker then the control so i i knew it is completel positive, then in the evening it faded again was till positive. today it is negative.

all i can hope that i caught that egg or if miracles do happen i will release another today or early tomorrow an d then have hubby come in the evening to do DTD with me..:)....anyway...fx for all of us struggling with this. as for kids...i ahve 3 boys and 1 girl whom i conceived after an MC. she was a total accident. DH does not want anymore kids but i cannot imagine just stopping like that so we agreed we can try one last time for that girl...if it is a boy we would be ok too..of course but am hoping clomid, age, chees, cranberry and timing will all help increase my chances to give my beautiful daughter a life long friend!!!!

You should always wait 3 days after your last Clomid tablet to do an OPK because Clomid causes the release of LH.

Sounds like you have O'd. Good luck! I hope Clomid does the trick for you :)

[soni]

Rainbow, goodluck!

Yahmama, you may want to test again. I got a BFN at 12dpo with a FRER and then just waited for AF to arrive.

So ladies, AF is here :( but I will be dropping in every now and then!

[soni]

Oh this thread moved fast! Fx for all others waiting to test!

[purplepoet20]

1dpo... Oed CD12 so I hope it was a good egg :worry:, 2 day cut off and O+9? :confused:, I ended up needing rephresh CD11 (TMI but itching) :worry:, NO J&D :whip: but I was so tempted, and nothing but a few supps. :think: the worst right now but Hubby already promised PGD no matter the gender of number 3 :kissy: but since I am so very cheap and hate pregnancy I am :pray: for :pinksperm: and no more kids!

I want to test right now... I have 7 FRER's!

[kaseybaby]

I am losing hope this cycle. I am 6 DPO, and I am already having my typical AF signs. Sigh.... I can't believe how long it is taking me to get pregnant!

[toomanyboys]

2dpo today...can't really feel any symptoms thanks god...helps with not obsessing.....just feel like my middle is a bit loose an big...i am not sure it is becasue i have stopped excerciing for about 2 months now and maybe my stomach muscles just loosening up.

considering i had all the symptoms of PG and didnt fall PG the irony may be that this time i am....LOL...that be so funny and quite shocking....

i am hoping that i do feel symptoms as i did with my DD. with all my DS's i hardly had any prominant symptoms....

anyway.....FX for all those in 2ww......

xxxxx

[HappyLea]

How we all doing today ladies?? The weather here is horrible, raining and very cold.

Other than the miserable weather i feel great today took my nan out for a girlie day, went shopping then for a drink and some lunch.

No symptoms for me today.

[toomanyboys]

awwww..happy lea....its crap in wales too..raining ALL day...feeling ok...spent all day cooking up a feast as DH coming back today....and wanna make him really happy and relaxed so when possible we can DTD...;)...lol.....not that i think it will do anything...but just will go for it...

my lower abs are feeling sore still....gosh my Ovulation has surely left a lasting impression on my uterous this cycle....my boobs are sore esp on the nipples and a bit more swollen than usual....i actually feel better this cycle apart from the sore tummy but much more energetic and upbeat...still lethargic if i am sat donw doing nothing, but am able to get up an do things if i need to...last cycle i couldn't even keep my eyes open or lift a vac!!!

i have no other symptoms as such.....oh no cm either...so not holding up much hope....anyway..here is for obsessing...the good thing of lack of symptoms is that i will not bother testing until 9dpo+ providing i feel more symptoms or suspect anything...otherwise it will be nice just to wait not waste any tests.

good luck every one wating..so sorry to those who missed out...stay positive and strong....:)

[toomanyboys]

wowee.....i know how to get back into the in gender forums...whoop whoop i missed those....lots of ol friends back for ttc again....whohooo... for those of you also trying to get back...normal forum site does not work...you gottta go to your profile and clcik personalized forums in order to access all the forum blogs!!!:) nice to be able have access to ample forums like this....

[toomanyboys]

Morning ladies.....3dpo...tenderness now dissapearing.....boobs a bit sensitive....but the best thing for me i managed to DTD again last night...so if my egg was still hanigng on...then maybe....O+20 may ave worked like last time....i don;t know just feel good that managed to DTD when i wanted and needed to.
i am may be out but i feel upbeat....lol....that cannot be Pg symtoms can it....
hope those waiting to test soon...get BFP's...those who got AF....keep trying...and those still waiting...good luck!!!!!

ps..another symptom if it is one that i have noticed is feeling gassy (TMI and blush)...and that is quite unusual for me.

pss: well...sicne i had DH contribution still inside and only J&D slightly this time...i ended releasing a bit more of DH this morning (TMI what are we like)...anyway....i decided to check my cervix and was a bit shocked to find it low and soft and slightly open? what does that mean i O on wednesday or even yesterday rather than tuesday???that brings my BD'ing right on O or at O+12 exactly. i am hoping that i O on wednesday as it keeps the likelyhood to 1-2 day cut off and my attempt last night to O+12. i had cramping really bad all of sunday, monday, tuesday was really bad with yellow ewcm. wednesday i had a little more globular snotty like cm but yesterday i was completely dry with minimal twinges and the odd cramp but was feeling tender with some thick streaks of yellow cm very little on my underwear. so i would think i have ovulated already and it would be safe to to BD. help me someone....

[HappyLea]

well im 6dpo today and totally no symtoms what so ever. DH has ruled me out for getting BFP as he says when AF due about a week before my mood changes and i get abit snappy and he says the mood change began this morning!

Toomanyboys - well done for you being able to get another attempt in.

I think i offended my DH last night as he wanted to have abit of fun and i turned him down just incase it upset my PH levels or something not sure it would even make a differnce now tho as we made our attempt Sunday and now egg will have either died or been fertilized. I just wasnt sure??!!

[suregena]

I'm about 6 or 7 dpo maybe. Steady moments of dull crampiness or twinges for a few days. We'll see. Going to test on the 30th...

There has been very brief moments of queasiness around meals but who knows what that could be. Could be from anything.

[HappyLea]

i too will prob test on 30th or maybe day after. I wish the 2WW didnt drag so much! Its like the longest 2weeks ever and im only 6days into it :sigh:

Trying to hold off poas, i know its way to early, but im just such an impatient person :D

[suregena]

I nearly POAS this morning but stopped myself, thinking, "Gena, don't be dumb!"


My cramping feels similar to..... (TMI! Whispers........).....those cramps you get when you need to do a number twoooooo!


:o


My pregnancy with my son was right after my second miscarriage... so I was actively waiting for my period, not pregnancy, so I don't really know what to expect in the 2ww! My first two pregnancies we're completely symptomless.

[purplepoet20]

2dpo and I hurt. I started having aches last night. I had an odd pinching in 3 different spots during the night, kept me up until 2am because each one lasted about an hour. I had a horrible dream where Hubby was screaming for me. When I woke up I realized he was already up and exercising but he was ok. This morning my stomach started to have a tickle feeling like little bugs crawling around just under my sick. And now my coffee is causing really bad acid reflex. At 2dpo I am a little concerned because I wasn't expecting anything until 5dpo or later.

[kaseybaby]

7 DPO, woke up with a runny nose, but not sick, my temp jumped up to 98.5 this morning, I have some CM that is more TMI, slimy then sticky. Still have cramps on and off, and I am so tired. Oh and slightly sore boobs, but i get that when I have PMS as well.

But I feel like isn't it too soon for symptoms? If the egg hasn't implanted then isn't it too soon to feel tired?

[Mochagirl]

My cramping feels similar to..... (TMI! Whispers........).....those cramps you get when you need to do a number twoooooo!

Those are the kind of cramps I got before my BFP too. Actually, those are what my af cramps are normally like...which may have something to do with af usually being accompanied by diarrhea for me....:oops:

[purplepoet20]

... I hope the feeling in my stomach is the sperm attacking the egg or a fertilized egg making it's way down the tubes. This worm-bubbly feeling is annoying.

[HappyLea]

well today is 7dpo for me, had horrid AF type pain in stomach and lower back last night maybe abit sharper than AF pain and only had for about 30mins or so. I thought when i woke up AF would have arrived early but she hasnt.

Im just hoping it my have been implantation or something,i am feeling every little pain/twinge i think im becoming obsessed and its only been 7days :sigh:

I even poas this morning even tho i knew it would be BFN, can see me becoming a :poas:

I think i need a hobby or to do something in the 2WW to keep my mind occupied. Any ideas??!! lol!

Its very cold here this morning and very icy so dont think i will be going out anywhere today.

Hope your all well ladies xxx

[rainbowflower]

sorry I've not posted much in here lately... feeling much better today and all signs of a fever have gone again
I keep playing with my chart/detector mode, and finally decided I ought to remove the two very high temps and decide that they're fever-related. However, if I choose "Research" mode it thinks I'm 5dpo, but the "Advanced" one thinks I'm 6dpo.

I learnt today that there's such thing as a "corpus luteum dip" that can happen up to 5dpo as oestrogen drops and then corpus luteum ups its progesterone again- can't believe I've been temping and researching for so long without having heard that before! Although I guess it's the same thing as a fallback rise which I had heard of before.


Happy - if it's 1 week before AF you might not even have had implantation yet as that can happen up to 12dpo, I wouldn't say you're out because of that... but how sweet that your DH knows your cycle so well! my DH would never notice that...

Suregena - everything crossed for you, you deserve a BFP after this rollercoaster this cycle!

PP20 - sounds good, especially if you've had that before!

Kasey - if you implanted early (some can implant at 5dpo) it's not too early for symptoms! hope you feel better soon

[toomanyboys]

Rainbowflower fingers crossed for you. thats an interesting research you have found about the dip. i am rubish at temping so i find it quite impressive how thorough you are with charting you cycle like this.

Happy i agree with RF, 10dpo is still really early i had a positive BFP with one of my sons at 16dpo.

i myself am 4dpo (3dpo if i O later than i thought) and no symptoms at all today....GRUNT... considering there is a party exploding just before O, during O and after O...inside of me it is so annoying really that today...i feel NOTHING....unlike last cycle i have to admit i am not obsessing and loking out for symtoms so the thought of any symptoms just pops in and out of my head now and again and that is when i realize hey whats going on with me today.

wishing everybody lots of baby dust. i documented all that i am feeling in the past posts in the hope that if i have a BFP someone somewhere can relate and cross relate their symptoms with mine....

hopefully.....those who are nearing their testing time will have some good news to share with us....it gives me hope...i won;t be testing i think unless i suspect something otherwise i will test in 10 days time providing AF has not shown her face by then...i spotted at 12dpo last cycle so there is something to look out for in 8 days. good luck everyone..

[HappyLea]

Rainbow ~ so glad you are feeling better. I too tried temping but im rubbish at it, good luck! DH is very sweet, although he prob only takes notice as he prob takes brunt of my snapping. Bless him he is a star!

Toomany ~ its actually only 7dpo for me i knew it was way too early to test but i just had to do it anyways...silly me!!! I think there has been one big rave inside of me since O but i wonder if im only feeling it as thats what i want to feel, kinda convincing myself....iykwim!

Well to stop me obsessing today i have curled up on sofa with my boys and duvet, had PJ day and watched loads of dvds. So far we have watched Cars2, Toy Story 3, Monsters Vs Aliens and currently watching How to train your Dragon.

Oh gosh i hope i get my girl one day, i would love to watch a princess dvd!!!

[toomanyboys]

happy lea...that sounds about the kind of thing i do with my boys....aren't those moments priceless!!!!!!!!!!!FAB i love doing that with my kids too...and although i have one DD the only pricness dvd we watchd and thoroughly enjoyed was the beauty and the beast!!!!..other than that just yesterday she was insistant to watch I,Robot again!!!!!!so we watched that now 3 days ina row. when asked what she liked about that movie.....she said something on the lines....'i like it when all the robots attack the car and get killed...:O.......with a cheey grin on her face!!!!!!!!....so much for my priincess....lol...

PS: hey i just found a couple of my threads in in gender reagrding my symptoms with my daughter. i had some spotting at about 5dpo last time round so it is possible. just cool to see i can refer back to few symptoms from previous 2ww's.

coming to the end of 4dpo...no symtpoms just feeling hungry i think..peckish..but that could be because i am probably just bored...waiting...lol...had a few twinges and pinches in the centre of my uterus so who knows. trying to check if this is casuing any spotting but no. still hardly any cm. i checked cp which is high and slightly hard and my finger is creamy but just on the surface. am pretty dry otherwise. so laxck of cm again not giving me too much of a hope.

fx for all of us...

[suregena]

I am having serious lower back pain. Either I pulled something while lugging my son around today or it's a symptom, but it's really hurting quite a lot. :(

[HappyLea]

toomany ~ we had a great day yesterday, i just love those kinda days!!! Awww...your DD sounds great...lol! Its good that you can look back on your previous symptoms.

suregena ~ fingerscrossed its a sympton hun, my lower back been killing me since 2dpo, i get all my cramps in my lower back.

Well im 8dpo today and really wish this 2ww wouldnt go so slowly, sure is dragging! I can honestly say i been peeing so much over past couple of days (surely that aint just in my head) i normally pee about 3-4 times a day but over last couple of day its been more like 7-8 :eek: i cant say i have been drinking anymore than normally tho. I have had to get up for 2 nights in a row at 3am to go pee and i never get up in night. Never had this when pg with DS's tho.

Today DS1 is at a friends birthday party from reception so i get to go and watch yet another magician/kids entertainer...im sure i have seen then all over and over, we been to so many 5th birthday parties since he started back. We got one booked in every weekend now till early march...better social life than me!
DS2 and DS3 are off to the in laws, which will make it easier for me so i can take DS1 on his own.

Hope your all well my lovely ladies xxx

[toomanyboys]

5dpo....couple of twinges last night....want it to be implantation but then i should be so lucky....i do have more cm then normal and i tend to have NONE after O. couple of creamy bits (sorry tmi) that the only thing different. i did get up 6 am feeling like i was starving....hope all you other beautiful women are getting nearer to testing. only slightly sore boobs which are also a bit bigger than normal.

but i wouldn't want to get too excited...but hopeing to see some BFP's here soon...makes me so happy and compensates for all the 2ww waiting.

xxxxxgood luck girls...

[rainbowflower]

I hate symptom spotting with a passion!

only 6dpo but (sorry, TMI) in the bath I happened to look at my nipples this morning and think "is it the light or so they look a shade darker than normal?" TBH they definitely look darker than they did a couple of months ago, but then I was feeding DS more then and I think that sort-of rubs the pigmentation off in places so it could just be that they're going back to normal now he's down to just 2 feeds.

I wish I'd paid attention to what colour they were a week or so ago!!

[suregena]

The one symptom I am NOT having is any breast-type symptoms... and I thought that would be the first thing I'd notice.

I keep going between the "Am I? Am I not??" things in my head, getting so close to testing. I'll sit on the "probably not" fence but it'd be fun if I were!

[rainbowflower]

I think I'm on that fence now too, when is test day for you?

even though I know 7dpo is ridiculously early to test, I have some internet cheapies I got free that I'm tempted to use up... just to get rid of the POAS urge!

[suregena]

I think I'm on that fence now too, when is test day for you?

even though I know 7dpo is ridiculously early to test, I have some internet cheapies I got free that I'm tempted to use up... just to get rid of the POAS urge!

I was going to test tomorrow, but I tested today. :x It was neg, of course!
I'm still testing tomorrow, though! I don't know when I O'd, so I'm going by when my CP/CM changed, which was around 21st/22nd, so I'm going off 20th being O day roughly.

[suregena]

By the way, they are internet cheapies.
With my son, obviously I didn't know I was pregnant until I felt ill, and had a scan to work out when I got pregnant due to it being before my cycle returned and they guessed I was about 6 1/2 weeks along, so I tested at 5ish weeks, which was very positive on an internet cheapie then.

Not sure how long it will take on one of those as it is all I have! I wasted money on the first response both miscarriages and I just don't want to go there again. I'll just wait. Sigh.

[rainbowflower]

you're a few days ahead of me, then... I think I OV'ed on the 23rd, although one of the modes on FF seems to think it was the 22nd instead. My gut says it was the 23rd.

with my first pregnancy I did get a BFP at 9dpo on an internet cheapie IN THE EVENING(!!) although I had been holding it in for a few hours in advance. Perhaps a VFP at 8dpo with FMU is possible should my body grab it like it did then? then again, that's assuming I still have an egg and that my high fever didn't stop it growing :(

[toomanyboys]

lol....talk about symptom spotting....for what its worth i am feeling lots of little twinges at the centre of my uterous today almost like pinching..(could it be implantation??)....i clearly remember such distictive pinching with my last pregnancy. i found an old post of mine where i claim to have IB spotting at 5dpo. i know i spotted with her because i have PCOS like i did with all my pregnancies but i didnt't remember the IB spotting incidence....i just remember spotting after my HPT and threatened MC.
i do remember these twinges though and testing at 8dpo. it was negative but then i had the faintest of faint BFP at 9dpo and then rechecked 8dpo and i could see a shadow of a line. by 10dpo i had a clear positive HPT.

oh well not long togo now if i go by this...otherwise my AF is due either by the 3rd or 7th of feb! i normally have a 28 day cycle so af due date is 3rd. but i spotted last cycle at 12dpo so if i go by that my 12 dpo is on the 7th of feb....

weeeeeeeeeeee...................

[rainbowflower]

toomanyboys - fingers crossed it is for you!! I remember the last two times I've conceived I've felt what I've marked as "low stomach twinges" on my chart around 7-8dpo both times (once I also felt the same thing at 10dpo, but started spotting the same day and AF arrived 2 days later - still wonder if that was a chemical), for one of them I put "sharp pains" around that time too

[HappyLea]

how exciting ladies, not long till testing for a few of us. Im what i think is 8dpo and just had to poas this morning and of course i was trying to convince myself there was a very extremely faint line but there wasnt it was a BFN.

How long do we need to hold pee in as i been poas at around 7am but im getting up to pee at 3am.

Im also on the 'am i' 'am i not' but really i think if im not im going crazy because i had lots of symptoms cramps, tiredness (even fell asleep yesterday for 2 hours) cant stop peeing, eating like a horse im always hungry and today i nearly burst into tears at a 5 year olds birthday party for no reason what so ever! WTF??!!

I think i am but if im not would someone please send for the men in white jackets please? Surely my mind cant be playing all these tricks on me?? But my chances of actually being pg are low as i went too strict on the sway.

[Bumblebee]

Hey ladies hope you all get your BFP's this cycle I have my fingers crossed for you all :pray:

[toomanyboys]

me tooo


well of to bed....feeling really hungry....strange.....abs feeling odd....maybe my bowels they not used to so much food!!!!lol....
oh well bye bye 5dpo....welcome 6dpo....yipeee...

[HappyLea]

Morning ladies,

Well i did it to myself again this morning and poas and i thought i could see an extremely faint line, like have to hold it to light and squint...:rofl:

So i thought i would go buy a First Response and after few hours of searching shops for one i got one come home and did it not FMU tho (damn i wish i never flushed my fmu) and i thought i could see something very faint again, so i undone the case and when held upto light i can see something but im just not sure...ARGGHH!!! Why do i do this to myself??!!

I got 3 cheapies left and 1 First response i dont know what to use in morning or try and wait a couple more days (I just cant resist the urge to poas tho) Im 9dpo today but my cycle vary in length. I feel like i am but i dont know if im just kidding myself.

Anybody else given in and tested??!!

[rainbowflower]

suregena and I both tested this morning and got BFNs too! I'm only 7dpo at the moment, so was just getting my POAS urge out of the way

[HappyLea]

Why do we do this to ourselves??!! I really am becoming a :poas: if its not a opk its a hpt. If anyone rooted through my bin the would be like WTF are all these little strips...lol!

Rainbow and Suregena hope we get those BFP's soon sending you lots of baby dust xxx

I may do a cheapie in morning and if i can see something do the first response one also...eeek!!!

[purplepoet20]

5dpo.... I took a frer yesterday and got a possible early pos or evap line 1hr after. I never had a evap line on the frer's before so I am not sure what to think. I have been very tired, achy, hot, cold, a little sick, and I really want to sleep more then 2hrs at night. I woke up to a little pink on my liner so I think I may test again tomorrow, I have 5 frers.

[toomanyboys]

6 dpo..yippee....well feeling quite normal really...no more funny twinges or such. we dtd again this morning and i though i may bleed as a result...but nope....all intact. i felt a bit strange though i think my uterous was way up high and wanted to run away during it all!!!!LOL....

i am bit tired but really no real symptoms as such. i had more than usual white/yellow snot like cm the last 2 days and the occasional wet feel yesterday i did have many many twinges. but today i feel nothing. my wee is not as dark as usual. a bit lcoudy and neon yellow...but i won't read into anaything. and cm as such apart form residue of DTD.

i had predicitions done by someone called tianna and cherr22 over about a year ago. both claimed i will have a baby who will be a girl and due date birth date or conception will be Oct/Nov....if i am Pg i will be on cue for the due date. cherry did one for me before my DD and she was spot on with everything gendr personality and look... actually that was the one time everyone 's predicted the same i had 3 done in total....even the chinese gender chart got it right including those whihc may or may not have had my chinese lunar age.

anyway, i had another one done just this weekend for the fun of it and i am told it will be a boy due, conceived or birth in august 2012-2013...honestly...why do i do these...:S

anywho, i am right at that point where if PG i may not necessarily feel anything or if i was wouldl not feel af or anything either so cannot say......if i am out or even in....

sorry for those you got their bfn's. happy lea i have learnt with experince that a line is a line...........no matter how faint.....i know that when i am not pg no matter how much i want to be there, there is not even shadow...if you can see something i have my fingers crossed for you.....wait 2days and take another one in 2 or more days!!!!!but i think you may get you BFP!!!!!

i on the other hand will just wait...i have had all symptom under the sun the last couple of cycles and drove myself insane testing...this time i assume i am out. am looking forward to my 150mg of clomid and hoping that that will do it for me.....

one can only pray and hope............

[toomanyboys]

PP...omg 5dpo...that is sooooo early...i really would suggest not to waste anymore test and wait at least till 8-9 dpo at least...to give yourself a chance to see a more real BFP? but it sounds hugely promising.......wohooo....and you got symtoms to back it up...FX you and happy lea will soon be leaving us and wait for us in the 1ST TRIMESTER SECTION!!!!!!!!!

OK i poas...and it is a BFN!....lol..what was i expecting at 6dpo????...i am thinking it is unlikely now that i am PG. last cycle at around 7dpo my post O symptoms or suspected PG symptoms ceased quite quickly.

oh well.....:(.....feeling happy for happy lea and rainflower though i wish i could see an evap or some kind of line....

[purplepoet20]

I had symptoms several different cycles before but that is when AF came early. I am just testing early because I have my bi-yearly papsmear coming 2/8 right before AF is due. If I get an early bfp then the papsmear will be put on hold for a few months. Also I got a great deal on 2 (3packs) of frers. I have so many coupons I could buy more anytime. I am tested every even day just to see if the line gets darker.

Where did you find the coupons PP? :)

[ladybug]

I am 2 dpo today...let the waiting begin....This month was my first month using soy isoflavones and I have to say it certainly felt like I had a stronger ovulation....Good luck ladies!!!

Sending you lots of :luck:, Ladybug. I :pray: you get your BFP this round!!! I'm cheering you on! :cheer:

[purplepoet20]

Where did you find the coupons PP? :)

You get them in the box and also on there website... $2 off each box. I buy mine at Walmart because it is $8.50 for the 2+1 pack they have so I pay $6.50 for 3 test. Close to the dollar store price but a much better test.

Also they have a new box that only has 2 test in it but it has a mail in rebate to get a second box free... $8.50 (after the rebate) for 4 test + the $4.00 worth of coupons = $1.25 a test.

They hurt but you are lucky that it didn't come early like mine... hoping for bfp for us both!

[rainbowflower]

ladybug - good luck with your 2ww!

[toomanyboys]

bye bye 6dpo....here comes 7 dpo...i know one should not go by cp position...but i am glad to find my cp soft creamy and CLOSED! i am not sure but i recall checking my cp several times whilst ttc in the recent past and it has always been OPEN slightly which i assume is the norm after 4 life births. but it is closed....eeeeekkkk....its making me a little excited but after my prediction its making me worry too.........please pray if this is is a sticky one then it is full of pink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
also.....what's worrying i am constantnly eating.....i feel hungry and peckish not monsterous but i just can thelp myself filling my GOB whatever comes in the way....whether kids left overs, half eaten buisquit, or the odd choc in the fridge and this is so not me.........pregnant or not...i am going to ge huge if this carries on.....:(

[HappyLea]

well i did IC test this morning and BFN :( DH said he couldn't see the lines i could see on yesterdays tests (made me feel like a crazy women) He did say tho if he moved head then he could see something but he thinks it is were the line was meant to be. Maybe they were a shadow of evap line...ho hum!!!

so today is 10dpo and im have alot of lower back pain (to point i may need pain killers, but i dont like taking them if i can help it) and the outer side of my left boob is sore, but i get the sore boob when AF coming so i guess i maybe out this month :( and i was so sure with all my symptoms. I feel stupid now!!! Especially as i said to DH if im not PG this month i will show my arse at the top of blackpool tower :oops: Lets hope he forgets that one!

[nini]

Hi girls, can I join you?
I ovulated 25th January, so I think I am 6dpo today. Luckily FF gave me a free VIP trial for hte next 4 days, so that keeps my mind from things a bit... chart overlaying can be such fun :)

Too manyboys, you mention you cervix: I know that when I conceived my little girl, my cervix defintiely stayed up and was soft and squishy, I didnt feel the opening at ALL, which after 3 natural births is unusual. I thought soemthihngs up then. I didnt check for long though, maybe 2dpo.... this time my cervix was the same, but it has hardened up now and I can feel the opening, although it is still closed tightly. Guess only time will tell. xx

Fingers crossed for Libra babies :)
PS I sway for a little sister for my daughter. I think a lot on here hope for boys, please go ahead and have my blue dust and rub some of your pink dust off on me ;)

OMG god your post made me laugh out loud!!!!!!!! what are you like..making promises like that woman????hahahahahaah

awww...well i am 7dpo i took a test this morning not a hint.....i have no symptoms either anymore other than that i can't stop eating....but it may cause i have become a lazy couch patato as i am not leaving the house much. getting my loft done so have builders at home whom i need to see to...so i have been sitting at my laptop ( as you may have noticed) filling my gob non stop so maybe i am just getting used to eating and my appetite is increasing.....for reasons other then pregnancy.

10dpo is still early...so hang in there it is not over until the ugly AF makes her appearance.

:)fx for everyone

I know, im so so silly ...lol! I was certain tho with all the symptoms. Will just wait and see. I too am eating alot but im the same as you been a couch potato over lst few day, weather been rubbish so i like being inside in cosy warm house. When im doing nothing i eat.

Although i just spent an hour in A&E with DS3 as he decided he would like to take a dive off the back of the sofa from top and landed head first on the sub box = lovely big purple egg shaped lump on the side of his forehead! He is ok just abit grouchy!

Welcome Nini and fx we start seeing those BFP soon xxx

[purplepoet20]

6dpo... frer's shows a little bit of a faded pink (10mins) and the same size as the control line. Not enough to get in a picture but even hubby says its there. I maybe shouldn't have shown hubby because he got all excited that he was going to be a daddy again. I think it is to early and I would like to see a darker line. :pray: for a better test in 2 days!

[Flava]

Girls what's goin on here?

purple!!! Looks like Im just in time! Maybe a BFP for you ??? wow so exciting! 6dpo?that's really early hopefully it get's darker! I got early bfp's with my girls ;-)

[purplepoet20]

This is all new to me... With my boys I never took test and didn't know I was preg until they were 6wks. I have no idea what to look for in symptoms. DS1 I was sick very early on like 3 days after AF ended but I think he was conceived a few days before AF was due. DS2 I didn't have any signs until I was 8wks.

Congrats Purple!!! I hope this is your BFP, but it sounds like it!!!! :D

[toomanyboys]

purple.....its sounds hugelt promising!!!!!!!!!:)

[purplepoet20]

I didn't realize it until now but my boobs have been hurting all morning. I started to realize it was a preg symptom just a bit ago when I was peeling garlic. I am so used to it because of nursing for so long, I learned awhile ago to ignore it but now I can't!

[Flava]

I can't wait! When do you test again?

[HappyLea]

:fx: for you purple, sounds very promising!

Well i had a day of trying to console my DS3 after his bump to the head this morning, he has been a grumpy and very upset little man. He is now tucked up in bed having an early night as he hasnt slept today.

Well i feel like im getting very bad AF pains in my stomach and sore left boob (get this when AF coming), think she may show up tomorrow :( i wish my cycle was a set number of days but its anywhere between 29 and 34 days long. I guess my luteal phase is shorter some months than others.
I know im not out just yet, so fx the witch doesnt show.

Good luck too those ladies testing soon xxx

[nini]

Purple poet, amazing stuff :) I am 6 dpo and it looks like I have a "shadow", I dont even qwant to call it a line yet, on my test. THe test picks up from 10 whatevertheunit is, so a very sensitive one. I am amazed, I usually get positives around 9 dpo, but I think they were the 25 ones....

[Mochagirl]

Purplepoet - sounds like a BFP to me! Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!!

[purplepoet20]

I can't wait! When do you test again?

I will test 2/2 or 2/3 and then after that I will have 3 more test so I may just use them up every 2-3 days.

awww..bumblebee... thats so sweet of you.....and i just noticed your two beautiful girls icon...I WANT THEM!!!!gosh what i wouldn't give to have 2 more daughters...i even imagined findding them on my doorstep..that how far my imagination ha taken my desire....i suddenly just FIND my two daughters!!!!!LOL....send me lots of pink wishes and i will send lots and lots of blue ones....i have more than enough.....

happy lea.....awwwww.....i am so oblivious of my boys falling over it is the norm here in my house....

bless them little soldiers...thats what will make them resilient to grow up strong and healthy.....i hope he feels better soon.....do make sure to keep an eye on him if he doesnt feel better tomorrow you take him right back....and get him checked over...but hope ihe gets better hun....

purplepoet...i know you are the lucky one this week..i can feel it too....

as for me i have come to the end of 7dpo....NO SYMPTOMS to report whatsoever......boobs are still big and slightly sensitive..i am running around like usual...no ms, no funny feeling some odd twinges in the uterus but i think i may be out....i can't feel like this and then be pregnant...it would be ironic though considering i had all kinds of symptoms last month and was NOT pregnant. imagine that....hahahahahaha

i took 2 one step lab HPT test strips both show a faint line but that was after 10 minutes or more...nd it is so faint in bright day light there is nothing so i assume that is what you call an evap. although my evap with FMU is more prominant then with MDU (mid day urine).

well getting nearer to 10 dpo now..will know ooner than later for sure....hope everyone else has better signs then me....

bye bye 7dpo and hello 8dpo!!!!!!!! wohooo

[toomanyboys]

8dpo....FMU on a one step 10mUi test BFN. had a couple of evap's on my precious tests form yesterday....the one i took this morning also has an evap....i know it must be because it appears afer 10min, and dissapeares in bright light....and i would assume that they would have become a bit darker IF i had been pregnant! CP checked still tightly closed...creamy cm when wiping on tp...i did wake up at 3am with some very very sharp gassy but as AF type cramps starting form my uterus then moving up to my abdomen...but it cold be just one of those things and nothing to do with PG...

TBH not feeling very hopeful now at all already gearing my mind to my 150mg clomid for next cycle...and actually looking forward for this cycle to end....

hope others are more luckier than myself.....just gotta get on with it and cannot and will not let it bring me down...i know its early but i am not feeling PG at all so won't hold out much hope.
