January 2012 2WW

awwww....this is so so sweet of everyone to cheer us up....thansk so much girls.....well...i am 10dpo today......woke up this morning and decied to pee on a stick one last time....i used the dodgy ainsburies ones...they make me feel excited at least and give me hope althouhg it can be annoying at the same time.....
truth of the matter is since yesterday i have not been feeling PG symptoms properly at all...just like many times before 3-4 days ago thye were in full whack....now nearing AF they depleted quite a bit. since lastnight i was trying to symptom spot whilstt in my bed and couldn't find anything unusual.....so i knew.....
well it runs out my dodgy sainsburie's HPT is completely negative this time.....:P .....
i know from past experiences that my hpt's begin to show even if they are the faintests of line form about 8dpo...i know never had a true hpt BFP until 11dpo but i would have hoped tp see some hint of a line yesterday on my first response and at least some of my false BFP on the sainsburies one today.....but nope...

i am convinced i am out...there no pre AF signs yet but i find that only take one wipe....last time i thought i had a chemical...i wiped and ended up with a stalled spotting episode of an af and no cramps no pain and no other signs that i was on!!!!!....

if aything is to change ( and i dout that very much -as we all know ou bodies) i will let you know...i a just getting focussed on my next AF and round of clomid which this i will be taking on days 3-7. dreading the 2ww then and the headaches too...urghhhh

good luck to everyone baby dust to all with all my heart...we just gotta keep swimming..keep swimming....:)

oh so sorry to hear this *hug*

Sorry about af, sweetsister.

8dpo and didn't get test today... had one of those crazy mornings. I will test eventually.


About the % and testing results... since so many ladies have different cycle length... Isn't it 98% on the day AF is due and then around 50-60% 5 days before AF.

So sorry sweetsister, AF sucks!

I am 8dpo and not testing yet...My AF is due Friday....I have no symptoms....waves of nausea but both my boys have had the stomach virus sa it could be that....I am trying to just go with the flow....

Good Luck ladies!!!

made it to 11dpo and here i am still speculating and obsessing....did a bit of research becasue i spot just before af...i know due to maybe my pcos my progestrone is obviously low after O which in turn causes me to have bleding if i am pregnant or increases my chances of mc and chemical pregnanys. so alongside clomid which my doc precribed to improve the the maturity of my eggs, i have been consuing yams, sweet patatoes, and using progestrone cream and eating pineapple core. all of which is supposed to increase progestrone!!!!,,,i know that increased progestrone can also result in a delayed AF.

if one thing this cycle i am really pleased that i have not spotted. ususally by 6-8dpo i have creamy yellow runny cm accompanied soon after with pink spotting....which then carries on until i get my AF. it is hugely frustrating knowing i could have been PG.

so here is me symtpom spotting again....i do have mild ms during the course of the day, i have twinges in myuterous really subtle ones but they are definately there and my breast of this sensation like you do when you are lactating. so....this is crazy....

will hold out and not test until 15 or maybe even until the 17th. the thing is i also came off BCP midpack last month, then spotted for about 3 days befoe i had the first light bleed which i am counting as the 18th of december. this would make me 11dpo today and with my avarage 28day cycle i should get my AF by sunday latest monday/tuesday.

i checked my cervix and it all soft, low, wet and spongy in there so i have no idea what to think. AF may get me with a vengance!!!

but here is for hoping.....BLUE DUST TO EVERYONE WHO WANTS IT.....i want PINK DUST only...send me more than one and it would be dream come true.....

yep another supposedly symptom..shattered and off to bed at half past 9!!!!this is someone who goes to sleep at 2am....the Pre AF 2ww is a cruel joke on us women who are TTC!!!!!

During my 2WW, I went out to see a movie with DH - a very rare event for us because we don't have babysitters - and I SLEPT through the whole thing! Two days later I got my BFP :bigsmile:.

AF showed her face last night, so woohoo CD1! instead of being upset i am thankful that my body just pumped out a perfect little 29 day cycle after not having one for MANY MANY years when i was either preggo or on mirena. Best wishes for all of us who saw AF or BFN's that we preggo our eggo's next month!

So true !!well cycle buddy i will live through you this month since i wont attempt .I just had my little cd1 depression and im over it even though not attempting im looking forward to feb:bike:
I hope the 2ww goes by easy for all whos left :cheerteam: ITS due for some more BFP

I am typing this message from my cell phone so I hope it works. Sorry to those who got af but that is great that you all are lookingfoward to the next cycle or whenever you are ttc. I am 10 dpo tomorrow so I will be testing Wed-Sat. Will keep you updated! Good luck to those still in waiting.

11dpo today....had a bowl of bran flakes last night as i have been scoffing alot of sweet patatoes and stogy things lately and felt a bit bloated and seem to have gained around my middle. this does tend to happen just before AF usually but there is no sign of her feeling wise or anything as of yet. so i thought better eat something to detox. and detox i did....i had the runs this morning. lol....feeling lighter this morning i decided to hold back and not test. i had some twinges alst night very slight..i have mild ms this morning but i will not read into anything now until i see a BFP. i should be due anytime between sat-tue if i am on cue...since i am so pessimisting that i could still be indeed PG i will not stress myslef out for it so will just wait...its hard but i have wasted so many HPT tests it not even a joke anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!...i could buy myself a bloody car at this rate!!!!
FX to everyone waiting with me!!!!lots of baby dust and an extra blue for those wanting little prices..and send lots of baby pink my way please!!!!!!!!!
xxx

ps: and just for the symptoms's obssession sake...here are my current symptoms up to date for each dpo.

1dpo - strong cramps, twinges and sore uterus cm clear, FMU very cloudy,constiapted
2dpo - cramps not as bad as 1dpo but still strong, uterus not too bad today, constipated, feeling tired and lethargic. no cm some sticky yelow one on panties. so BD to try O+12., FMU still cloudy, constipated
3dpo - VERY tired very tearful very emotional (just broke up with my best friend), FMU flouroscent yellow
4dpo - VERY tired still, still emotional , cramping now a dull ache and back ache, feeling the need to urinate alot
5dpo - Still tired need cat naps, no cm only on tp clear and watery, some ms during the day better at night.
6dpo - boobs are beginning to twinge and feel slightly bigger, stil tired yawning all the time, no energy, no cm at all, BFN on ultra sensitive HPT,FMU dark yellow, but feeling strong instinct that i am pregnant
7dpo - boobs quite tingly, tried still very unual for me to feel so lethargic, a bit short tempered, no cm onlu on tp. slight dull O like twinges on sides but so mild i just have to focus on it to make note of it. slight MS during the day
8dpo - boobs tingling and nipples beginning to feel sensitive and achy, still very tired, slight ms, headaches and getting up early,BFN
9dpo - boobs still twinging and tingling, slight twinges and very very dull AF cramps on and off, up until 8dpo felt very much PG and all symtpoms, today it is easing off...BFN on FRER so not so confidant, false positive BFP very faint and off centre on sainsbury's test, but still very tired, waking up with headaches early morning, dull AF type aches but really very very mild.
10dpo - hungry all day, slight MS after eating, tired all day, pee is a pale yellow, no other major symptoms just twinges at night in centre of uterus. main symptom boobs have a strong senstaion of MILK let down.
TODAY 11 DPO, runny stools, pee pale yellow, boobs sticking out of top of bra now, swollen glands, cold sore on lip this morning, mild MS even now so need to eat, lethargic and tired, and very very dull AF type aches not cramps..so maybe AF is heading my way???

will wiat until 14/15dpo then test or just wait for AF to show up.
hope this helps anypne.

11dpo BFN with Predictor Test!!!!

go figure....i am sure i am out...the odd af type mildest cramp....but thats about it....i think AF is just gonna POP up and let me know anytime!!!!


:(

I am having fatigue today and some nausea and cramps but not sure whether this is PMS or pregnancy symptoms, I keep thinking my AF is going to start any minute and am feeling pressure down there which I always get just before it starts. I feel really sick and dizzy right now.... I am 11dpo.

I'm in the 2WW- AAAAAGAIN. Haha, gotta have some humor, right?

Bumblebee, I always feel dizzy in 2ww when pg, hope this is a good sign for you!

I haven't read backwards in this thread, but will look to see if a tally is going on the front page.

LOTS OF LUCK, ladies!

I am 9dpo and I have a ton of pressure and cramping today...I tested and got a BFN but its only early....But i feel I am out this month...But thats ok..I know its going to take awhile with only 1 tube....

11dpo pm...after my BFN...checked my cervix and found my cm got slight brown mucous on it..cp risen now and closed...on the way to my daughters ballet class in the car i had AF type cramps....so am thinkg AF is gearing up to come.....in my daughter's ballet class i fell asleep (my usual cat nap) and then as i woke i had some really strong twinges right in the centre of my uterous and under my belly button!!! they were distinctive like to what i got with my daughter and then ended up testing the next day and found a bfp at 10dpo....now i am hoping this was implantation too....if it is its pretty late...

well all will be revealed...but i am almost out...just have to sit tight and see.....i have no feeling of AF at all..but if these cramp continue then maybe that is what it is.???

2-4 days to go...

ps LOL...hope my essay type posts have entertained some of you if not others who might find them ultra annoying boring....hahahaha...sorry i have noone else i wuld like to share this with....so it is easy to type away and let your feelings flow....

pss: just felt wet in my undy and had dollop of brown stringy pink mucous....yep this could be AF on its way...crampigg is ver llight and comes and goes.....now unless i got my dpo wrong i may be 9dpo, 10dpo or 11 dpo...because i am counting O from the day my OPK turned negative and cm was runny. i never realy had EWCM and i if i did i had do little of it i couldn;t judge it becasue of the BD on day of +opk and 2 days after.
so the best bet for me is approximately 10/11dpo. this is horrible it could implantaion spotting or pre af!!!how cruel is my body????

So, it looks like we still have Bumblebee, Ladybug, TooManyBoys, and myself in the running for testing. LolaInLove, that's a good way to look at it!

TooManyBoys 84% of implantation happens in days 8-10 dpo, with the other 16% implanting on day 6, 7, 11, or 12 after ovulation... so what you felt COULD have been implantation on only day 10-11. The thing is that high progesterone from PMS and high progesterone from pregnancy have many of the same symptoms before BFP or FLO, so analyzing symptoms doesn't really seem to help, UGH!

I tested today @ 10dpo with a FRER (First Response Early Results) and I totally swear that I saw a verrry faint line. I even carried the test with me to the store, parking lot, etc, to squint and stare at the line in different lights, LOL. It is MADNESS I tell ya. I'm hoping for a more definitive answer in the next few days. My period isn't due till Sunday, but I'd love if she skipped me and went to Hawaii instead. :)

Good luck everyone!

Hi girls , Can I please join your 2ww..... I Think I ovulated yesterday so i am 1dpo today..

My attempt was d/h F/R for 21 days straight with a few days of twice a day and one with 3 times a day.. We dtd only once on my first + opk. D/h had a real hot bath for about 20 mins before our attempt, I used Rehpresh every 3 days from af and i used only a 1/4 of Rephresh 24 hrs before attempt. I have been on a diet of eating hardly anything for a month but before that LE diet for about 2 months. I have been taking Vitex, Saw Palmetto, Cartia and I have been through soooo much equal!! I hope I have done enough and I hope to get a BFP I found it very hard getting d/h to do F/R he is not a usual f/r er so it was tough on us both... FX for all of us to get a BFP this Month!!

FX ladies!!

Welcome newbies hope your stay is short!

@pink3rpomise....lol....hats is hillarious,....but totally normal..i have done that many times ven kept it with me whilst doing my shopping....LOL...what are we like....well am 11/12dpo today..had more spotting yesterday evening..no more cramps...BUT...i think this is pre AF just stalled. i had this before.....
this morning i put on a pad.....i dont have a 'flow' as such but BFN's and this spoting on cue for AF just confirms to me that i am out....yep PCOS is a cruel joke!!!!..

fx for all you ladies...should i be a miracle case and come back in a week to tell you i got BFP and this was just implantation...then that would be fab....but i doubt it very much i should be so lucky.....well it confirms one thing...i can only try the girl diet....i wont be jumping and umping anymore though and i feel need to BD right through O as it looks like it will be very hard or unlikely to fall PG at like this.....

Hey ladies good news I got my BFP this morning! went out and got another test and peed in a cup this time!! :rofl: lol after that clearblue fiasco!! I think my period was actually due yesterday and in the afternoon I was soo tired and thought I was having PMS symptoms so I napped for a bit to sleep it off maybe that was the point where the HCG bit kicked in because before that I was testing negative. Another thing I noticed which I thought if I did get pregnant I'd mention is the area around my nipples had gone a bit dark but you know those white spots you get around the nipple when you breastfeed the appeared like a few days after my ovulation....ahhh just got the name for it off the net....Montgomery glands??. So if anyone notices this on their nipples it could be a early sign of pregnancy!! :) other than that I had no real symptoms tbh. The very best of luck to those still waiting to test - big hugs to you and I hope you all get BFP's really soon!

OW WOW BUMBLEBEE....thats fab news......awwww...have a H&H months!!!!!...it feels so amazing to hear good new like this makes on feel that there is still hope for all of us...lol....

enjooy it hun......

about tiredness, i have it and still do...am shattered all the time.....about nipples i have those glands and they came about 3 days ago at 8dpo...and i have the let donw feelign too....so yep you can have all that and most of the time be lucky like you...or you can be me and be totally gutted and be not...,i havent tested again....did you test before your nap and got complete negaitve or have fiant lines...i had a complete negative yesterday with a predictor test and that tests 5 days early..which i approximately was....

MANY MANY CONGRATS AGAIN.......THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL!!!!HOPE ME AND SOME OF THE OTHER LADIES WILL GET THERE TOO....:)

The first 10 days after O seem to take the longest. Tomorrow is a week after O for me but feels like I have been waiting a month.

Congrats, Bumblebee!!

Bumblebee, huge congrats!! And yes, that was one of my signs right before my BFP was much darker nipples (sorry for TMI!) They were darker but had little white spots on them...and I thought...Hmmm? It was one of my first signs that was definitely non AF-ish!

Hope we get some more BFPs! C'mon ladies, keep them rolling :)

thanks hun I have my fingers and toes crossed for you too! I hope you get your BFP soon!! yes I tested day before yesterday and that was totally negative and then yesterday I had sudden what I thought were PMS symptoms and really bad fatigue and dizziness so I took a nap then tested last night but it didn't work so tested again this morning and it was positive.

thanks for the congrats everyone! :)

Congrats Bumblebee!

ww thanks bumblebee....

well i am not going to test now until my stalled AF begins to flow or stop. i am really confused now how do i know which cd i am. i don't have a fLow. my spotting is like a very light period. the blood (sorry tmi) is kind of concentrated and dark reddish/brown. but its not flowing out of me if you know what i mean...when i pee and wipe myself obviousy the tp has red blood on it....i have had twinges and pinching kind of feeling all day behind my belly button and let down feling in my breasts so if anything implantation is just being unsuccessful maybe?....

quite defplated now....but life goes on and so does TTC...its now or never for me....

Congrats, Bumblebee!!

Sorry toomanyboys!


I am 10dpo and tested this morning and got a BFN, but I am not surprised as I have no symptoms....I suspect AF will be here
tomorrow right on time....I am thinking of taking 100mg of soy from CD 3-7 next month to see if I can strenghten ovulation, I still have a great attitude! I know it WILL happen I just have to relax and go with the flow....

That's an amazing attitude, ladybug! :HH:

Congrats Bumblebee!!

Hi Ladies, Joining the january 2ww. I have a 3 yo DD and TTC a boy. Its our first month TTC. We swayed but it was a lite sway as I did not prep my body enough. I am 3DPO and this wait is nerve wracking! I wish there was some way to find out now :giggle::giggle::

Congrats to those with BFPs! Hugs to the those who had Aunt Flo show up (())
