Welcome Wowzer...:D
No, we can't stop obsessing. Obviously, it looks like most of us aren't even in the TTW yet and here we are! LOL We can't wait to get to the point of obsessing. And as much fun as the wait is... None of us want to wait at all. Here's hoping no more waiting!
Frankly, I'm scared I'll miscarry again. I am worried about it already. 3 in 8 months is lots. It looks like there are not many people who have had more than 3. Are there? I just feel sick thinking about it. The TTW obsessing is the fun part then the 8 month wait obsessing begins. Oh, how the ignorance of my first 2 pregnancies was pure bliss.
Phew - Well, I'm in my TWW and I'm roughly around 8DPO - And for the past two days (including today) I've been spotting brown EWCM - HELP!!!!!
Liz - That sounds promising! Good luck:D
Jayney - I so get what you mean, ignorance is BLISS when it comes to pregnancies. When I lost my son at 18 I was like "nah nothing will happen to me, Im young it doesnt happen to young people".
And now I am TERRIFIED of getting a BFP because that means there will be a little baby in me and I just dont want them to leave me!
But in the same breath, all I really want is a BFP.
Its such a struggle sometimes!
Hi everyone......glad to see obsessive compulsive disorder is running rampant in the tww!(lol) We always say we wont obsess, analyse every possible symptom etc but hey, we are only human.
Jayney - Im glad Im not the only one who's bloody scared! Sometimes I feel like everyone is oh so positive, and theres something wrong with me for having a constant niggly doubt. Its strangely comforting to know that we all have that little niggle every now and again. I too have had 3 mc, the last one in May this year. This one was almost the worst becasue I didnt have an inkling, and only found out on ultrasound at about 10 wks. It totally took the wind out of my sails because after giving birth to my dd last year, I figured the bad luck was behind us, now my body knows what to do ....etc etc. Not so.
Anyway, like everyone here, Im pretty anxious for a Bfp, but I know that with that comes a whole differnt set of worries, and I wonder how I'll cope if it goes sour again. Unfortunately nothing comes with a guarrantee,and we have to take what comes.
At the moment im 12dpo, with af due friday, so at least my wait is nearly over. For this month anyway. Take care, beaksie
Hi english Rose - Have you tested yet??
Hi Beaksie - Not yet..Too scared!!
AF hasnt come yet (thank God!!) and I dunno I feel like shes on the way (Stomach cramps, more "mucus" in the panties, sore boobies etc) and as far as I know theyre not all pregnancy symptoms are they?
Well AF was due today but maybe she'll come tomorrow, dont want to get my hopes up just yet!!
Englishrose-
Sore boobs has always been my first clue I was pregnant.:thumbsup:
But the increased moisture (Sorry TMI) normally means AF yea?
EnglishRose, I'm betting you'd get a BFP today if you tested using an early detection 10miu test. And that you'd probably get a positive on a 25miu test. Good luck for when you do decide to test! :crossfingers:
LizJessie, I think you're having an implantation bleed - if you hadn't have had the positives on the OPKs, my other bet would have been an ovulation bleed, as that can also happen sometimes. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!
Good luck to everyone still in the TWW!!
EnglishRose - they are all symptoms I had when I was pg, and as Kerry said, if you tested today and are pg, there's a good chance you'd get a bfp. I understand about now anting to get your hopes up though.
I'm not sure when I ovulated..I think around dat 14..on day 16 now, so still BDing, just in case. Already overanalysing niggles in my belly. Even though I know nothing could be happening yet! This is going to be a long fortnight, and I feel almost certain that I'll be disappointed at the end.

AF due today still hasnt come, I will definantly do a test if she still stays away until Friday.
I dont want to get my hopes up to be crushed again, I'm sure you all know what I mean :(
But Im sure I ovulated 2 weeks ago today so.........:crossfingers:
Good luck English Rose!
Well, I'm in the TWW - although I'm around 9DPO and and have been spotting very small amounts for three days now! What the hell??
Like I said before Liz it sounds promising...Good luck for this cycle!!
Good luck ladies. Still no flow for me, she is due in a week (first time since m/c). I've been tired and moody.
Thanks for the warm welcome ladies - I understand zionsmum, it does seem weird to welcome people to a m/c forum...but I sincerely appreciate the welcome none-the-less! Thank you!
I'm having trouble reading my body this month - I should have ovulated yesterday or today...but I'm now not so sure about this. I started using OPKs this month, and still haven't gotten an absolute second line (only faint ones since CD12). I've been using the saliva microscope in previous months (including this month) - but that only frustrates me, as I seem to be "ferning" more often than not (and I'm doing everything by the book). I'm starting to fully realise that my body is not a simple 'text book' case! I think that I will try to convince DH to keep BD'ing for another day-or-so...but I'm so conscious that I'm being very scientific about it all - I don't want to turn him off...isn't baby-making supposed to be fun (!?!)
So I'm not even sure if I'm officially in the 2WW - which I know is going to frustrate the heck out of me for the next 2 weeks if I don't know for sure whether I've even ovulated this month or not.My plan is to try to stay sane - or something that closely resembles sane! Here's to "sanity" for everyone else going through the 2WW at the moment!
Hi ladies just popping in to sprinkle some :bluedust: around for you all.
There's one thing I will not miss being single again....the TWW. There's no chance whatever that I can be pregnant so no wondering. See there's always a silver lining to everything no matter how things seem.
Hehe just thought I would stop by and say I FINALLY got my BFP yesterday:D:D
Thank you to those who listened to my whinging and my doubts!!
:bluedust: for all TTC!!
Good luck for this cycle:)
Woooohooooooo Englishrose !!!!! thats awsome news....congrats hun.
hugs
treelo
Thank you so much:D
Congrats EnglishRose :)
Huge congrats English Rose. Wishing you a very happy and healthy 9months!!WOOOOHOOOO!!!
I knew it!! Congratulations English Rose!!! That's fantastic!! :dance: woohoo woohoo
Congratulations EnglishRose! I'm so pleased for you, sending you lots of positive, happy and healthy thoughts! (And hoping you start a run of BFP's for us!)
Lisa xx
EnglishRose- Congrats I hope the rest of us will be joining you soon!
I hope so too!!
:bluedust::bluedust: for all TTC, may this be your lucky cycle;)
Hi all,
Just a quick question. Im using OPK's for the first time and im just wondering about the faint line.
I know that it means a negative. But if the line gradually gets darker, does that mean that you are coming close to O? Yesterday it was really faint, but today its a bit darker. I not meant to O until Wednesday
hugs
treelo
Treelo - I had the same thing happening last month. There seems to be varying advice on the subject. The packet states that the test line has to be darker than the first line to be positive, but some health professionals seem to think that even a fainter line is a positive. I have come to the conclusion that it also depends on your fluid intake. If you can refrain from urinating for hours before testing it should be a valid test, otherwise I have been advised to test FMU because it's more concentrated even if the package tells you to test around 2pm. Also some woman get a slower surge which explains why the line gradually get darker. Hope that helps. I am starting OPKs tomorrow (after wasting so many last month!), so I let you know what's happening... Good luck!
EnglishRose - Congratulations!!!!
Congrats EnglishRose!! That's awesome news :)
So the madness begins again. 3 dpo and I am already trying to figure out "Did we do it? Am I pregnant?"
Does anyone else start the craziness this early?
Yes Jayney! I'm about a week DPO (unsure whether I O'd on day 14 or 16), and even at a couple of DPO I was thinking I had symptoms, before sternly telling myself not to be so stupid. Now I'm thinking, well implanation could have happened..I could have some symptoms. There's a few thigns which could be signals of pregnancy...but I'm trying to stay quiet and not talk or think about it until AF is late! Clearly, I'm not doing a very good job...
Lisa xx
The big problem is the last 4 pregnancies I have known very early. About 1 week before testing is even possible so I think about it long before I can test. Here hoping for sore boobs! Then because of the whole m/c thing I don't even know if I want to test.
Hi Jayney,
Nope, you're not the only one evaluating every little symptom so early on. I've had trouble reading my cycle this month (not sure exactly what day I o'd - possibly day 15), so I'm about 5-6DPO. I've had an extremely bloated & gassy stomach the past day or so now; but I can recall having a similar thing last month, so not wanting to read into it too much. I feel a bit like I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't...I don't want to "think positive" and "think pregnant" because I don't want to have to deal with the disappointment when AF arrives; but then I don't want to be a pessimist either (although that's the way I'm feeling right about now). Even though I promised myself I wouldn't test early this month, I just know I'm not going to be able to help myself!
Hi all - hope your doing well
So I started doing some exercises to help with my headaches. Problem is I have sore boobs:pray: but I don't know if they are sore from the exercises or not :wall:
Jayney - My ticker says i ovulated today but i used opk's this cycle and on Monday i got a positive result, so i dont know when i ovulated exactly.. but i dont think that is going to be a problem, the amount of times we BD before on and after ovulation....fingers crossed!!!!
Its certainly a trying time but im sure we can all help each other get through it....
hugs to all
treelo
I am trying to figure out if and when to test. I want to know but I don't if I have another early miscarriage
Finally back in the TWW. Boy I hate having long cycles! Its funny how the tww plays with your emotions, you can be excited and scared at the same time.
I am three DPO today and I am not going to look for symptoms this time as I had so many last time and I got AF!
Good luck to all you girls testing! Hopefully we can get lots of bfp's in here, you should see how fast the 1-6 months ttc thread is moving so many get bfp's I check in there all the time in hopes they rub some of their good luck onto me and I get a bfp!
Treelo- Usually after a positive opk you ovulate within the next day or two and I have had two days of positive opks before. Did you do an opk the next day to see if it was negative again? Sounds like you are in with a good chance anyway with all that bding!
Hi Cherie, yes i did one yesterday and it was negative, so i think i have done all that i can, now its up to the swimmers and the egg !!!
hugs
treelo
I hate the waiting.
The wondering
the worry
My boobs are sore ish but are they sore enough
My feet are sore which happened the last few time but is that because I was on them more or not?
I am second guessing myself too much
Driving myself crazy
Also Dr called day b4 yesterday but I was out:doh: I assume she had the test results from the long list of blood work to see if there is anything wrong to do with the m/cs.
Oh well we are going to the big city this weekend and will buy HPT's at COST-CO for much cheaper than local.
