Thankyou Nurse27 we are staying positive about it. Started getting cramping and lower back pain, its a wierd feeling and also OMG and sorry for TMI but discharge from my nipples! Yesterday was a tiny bit but tonight after the more painful cramping have got a bit more. I wasn't expecting that. I'm at work doing night shift so I'm feeling a little uncomfortable. Wont be getting too excited so early but looks promising for us!

Good luck to whoever else is on their TWW, am feeling for you!

Well we are now at the half way mark of our first 2WW and never thought it would be this torturous. Its difficult to get your mind off it and when you think about it it just drags. We even have done a HPT, stupid I know since its way too early but I have been getting so many symptoms we thought we would just try our luck lol. Of course it was a BFN. Still have a constant pain in my lower pelvic region, it eases off for a few hours then comes back. Also when I get the ain I get lower back pain which is a bit annoying like AF approaching but thats way too early, I dont get that kind of pain until the day of AF arriving. One thing I am relieved of is that the discharge from my nipples has eased off and is just a drop or two every now and then. Breasts are sore and sensitive but not ultra sensitive, just annoying to touch I guess. And then there is the nausea, I wake up ok but after about 10 minutes I feel yuk and nauseous and after eating brekky I vomited this morning but after that i have felt fine. Weird. I didn't think these symptoms were supposed to come until at least after AF is missed. Only time will tell and what will be will be, just hope it hurries up cos we are going crazy and just want to know for sure. We think we will test 10 dpo which is sunday. Monday we are going to Mackay for a couple of nights to see my family and back home for christmas so hopefully we will have good news to tell you then! Just a bit confused with the symptoms happening so early or it could be that its all in my head and my body is just doing these things to tease us....fingers crossed for Sunday!

Merry Cristmas everyone!

Crossing my fingers for you both.

Good luck Lea,

My TWW was exciting and nervewracking too... I was trying not to read too much into symptoms but I ended up with a heap of PG symptoms, unfortunately they were due to the luteal support hormones rather than a real pregnancy.

I've got my fingers crossed for you. I hope to be in the TWW again in around 3 weeks, just waiting for AF to arrive so I can start my next cycle.

Thanks girls,

Babysteps that must've been a bit disappointing, I hope I will feel ok if it doesn't work out to be a BFP. Last night we got a very feint BFP but it was past the 10 minute time limit but the line was pink so somepeople say evap lines are more like a shadow but who knows really. Just have to wait a few days and see if AF arrives thats due on boxing day. Today was my worst day for nausea and dizziness, its so weird. Anyway, only time will tell. Cheers and Merry Christmas to everyone!

We just have to tell you all that we got our today! It was faint but a definite line for sure. We cant believe we got it first go! I know its very early so we want this bubba to stick real well. We have recieved the best Christmas present of all, cant wipe the grins off our faces. We wont test again until I miss a period and then confirm it with our Dr but until then we are happy as a pig in mud! Thankyou for all your support during our 2WW, we really appreciate it. Have a fantastic Christmas, I know we will!

Thankyou everyone. We just got from holidays down to see my family, so hard to keep the early news in and hard to explain why I'm not having a christmas drink but we got through it. Working tomorrow for christmas - such is life being a nurse! AF is meant to be due boxing day so we are gonna retest in the morning to see if things have changed since the other day. Its a different brand but should be alright. I hope everyone will have a wonderful christmas and santa is nice to you!
