Two Week Wait Support...

Dawnee - they do say any line is a good line ;)
Good thinking though to retest in the morning. Hope I can hold out another couple days....

LizJessie - I remember when DH and I planned our wedding, was completely exciting, if a little stressful, and we had a fantastic day. As long as you don't get hung up on little things that could go wrong, and keep the big picture in mind, it'll be wonderful :) On my wedding day, it was raining in the morning, I hated what the hairdresser did to my hair, which resulted in two of my bridesmaids removing 50 bobby pins from my hair and me having loose hair all day, and I got grass stains on my dress, but the day totally rocked! Would do it all over again, and have actually suggested to DH that we should have a second wedding in Australia! (We got married in England, with DH being English)

Thanks Acria: we'll see I really hope it's not my imagination hahaha! I'm looking at your ticker (which incidently I cannot seem to get mine to attach) and you and I could be very similar in our cycle? when did you O? I M/C 25th July and seem to have Ovlulated 14th or 15th of August.......???? so hope I was lucky enough to have caught that egg.....
Satya: Thanks Yeah I know what you are saying.....A Faint one, maybe? is it? can I seeee a line? really is frustrating I even pulled the strip out to hold it up and get a better look hahaha! it looked the same.....Faint! hahaha!

Hi All! I haven't been in for ages, but when I saw this thread I had to have a read!! I'm in the same boat as many of you. I am now 9DPO. It's doing my head in. Been TTC since April after our m/c in Feb. Have been having stupid symptoms during my TWW since July but to no avail (sore boobs)! I think like some of you have mentioned, I bring it on myself and imagine the symptoms half the time. Becoming very impatient, but this month was the first month I had a really dark line on my O test so fingers crossed. It was also the first time every I had a 28 day cycle (usually 26). I have everything crossed..........I desperately want a baby, but don't want to test early because I just get frustrated when it's -ve.

Good luck to everyone else. My fingers are crossed for you!!

Hi Dawnee, I'm not really sure when I O'd as we weren't actively TTC. I don't temp either, so I'm not too sure. I used to feel it when I O'd, but since the miscarriage, I haven't been noticing this. I hope this doesn't sound blase, but I seem to fall pregnant by accident, that part seems to be kind of easy for us, we just can't hold onto them after that. I generally have a 27/28 day cycle, ie - I get spotting on day 27, full flow on day 28, so not sure which it is. AF is due on Thursday the 30th, but I'm going to try to wait till Friday to test so I know the result is really accurate, ha!

Thanks Dawneee, This is the third and lucky last case of chicken pox in our house. THANK GOD!! cause i gotta tell ya.....its doing my head in.... For the last 5 weeks, there has been someone in our house with chicken pox, so this is IT. When i have my next baby, it will be vacinated as soon as possible.

hugs

Hi All,

It is so nice to have a place where you can admit to being totally crazy and still be normal.

Treelo- I grew up in Campbell River-beautiful right on the ocean. Now I live inland and am dreading our six months of snow:(

Satya- I love the spreadsheet idea! Does it help you figure out if you are pregnant?

I am sure I am not pregnant this month -no sore BB. But I have cravings for cooked tomatoes-Weird. And I had heartburn mind you it was only once soooo?
I just want the symptoms to be different this time.

The last three times the symptoms kicked in early. 5-6 dpo and were quite strong I don't remember it being that way with my girls.

I am going to try and not test. (Unless the Dr tomorrow want too. twist my rubber arm how pathetic)

Dawneee - how did the test go this morning, I just know you couldn't stop yourself testing.... I'd be exactly the same.

Acria - I hope AF stays away for you on Thursday. If I've pinpointed O correctly mine is due on Sunday or Monday, but as my temps were everywhere this cycle after the m/c it could well come a couple of days earlier.... perhaps Friday or Saturday, but I'm going with the later dates.

Mouse - Fingers crossed that this is your month.

Treelo - hope the chickenpox leaves your house soon.

Jayney - the spreadsheet doesn't help show if I'm pregnant, it just gives me somewhere I can put my symptoms whilst at work without going in to fertility friend. I'd hate to have someone see my chart. I only started to do the s/sheet last cycle which was lucky because now I can compare symptoms to a cycle that I conceived in as it's the first I've had since I started charting in March. If I have the spreadsheet up it just looks like I'm working... it's very handy. I've been having a number of symptoms that I had early last cycle so it's interesting to track it all. Those cravings of yours are a good sign. Remember that not all pregnancies have the same symptoms so no BB symptoms doesn't necessarily mean anything. With my first pg I don't remember any symptoms except just a feeling that I was, second one was just tiredness, indigestion and cravings for lasagne prior to testing positive, last time I had heaps of stuff going on which I hoped meant a strong pregnancy but it didn't.

:)
Had to get up twice to pee again last night (note to self could be the fibroid causing that), bleeding gums again this morning (could need a visit to the dentist), my BBs hurt when my wee doggy jumped on my chest this morning (but they don't feel like they are sore now) was very tired again last night, still feel tired. .2 temp dip this morning. Slight spotting after BDing last night (could mean AF is on it's way). Keep waking up with blocked nose (this happened with both of the last pregnancies, but there are colds and flu going around my office right now). See I'm doing my best out of talking myself into being pg again. I just hate the TWW.... it does my head in.

Satya- very sneaky -The spreadsheet looks like you are working! That makes me chuckle.

I have a few symptoms but they were so strong with my miscarriages I'd rather have them quite different. I never had BB with my second but that was because I was still BF #1. I don't remember what it was like with my first this early on. I had natchos for breakfast (more tomatoes)

This back and forth will drive you to drinkin' Except what if we are pregnant! But if we aren't then...
I would test but I would want the BFN to be for sure not -maybe it is too early. And then if I get a BFP then the whole will it stick question starts back and forth. I want to debate -is it a girl -is it a boy instead and fight over what to name it instead of this

oh i hate this waiting....its so frustrating !!!!!

Morning all. Well, this morning I woke up with a blocked nose, which I've had for a few days now (however, I do work at a doctor's office, and there has been a flu going about), and when I wiped after going to the toilet there was a little bit of pink mucus. I told myself it could be implantation, and that my period would be coming two days early, which never happens, but still... :/ I'm now trying to decide whether the cramps I've had for a few days feel stronger or not, and trying to remember how I felt around this time the last time I was pg. I don't know if I had that many symptoms..it didn't cross my mind that I could be pg til my period was 3 days late. Grrr!

Feeling all frustrated and down. Stay away AF, please me implantation, burying in nice and deep!

Yet again this month, I’m struck by how normal I feel when I check out this thread!

Satya and I had the same O day last month too and yet again, my symptoms mirror hers. It’s uncanny. Naps have been far more appealing the past few days. I’ve been waking up in the morning with a stuffy nose. I had some cramping a few days ago. My dog even factors in the mildly sore bbs thing—I fell asleep on the floor while petting my dog and I think I just have a little bruise from the underwire!

I had these same symptoms at this time last month, though (minus the breast tenderness), and try as I might, I couldn’t will myself pregnant then.

One benefit of having a deficient luteal phase is that my TWW is a little shorter, so I should know by the weekend (maybe even by Thursday). Only a few more days of the head-wrecking wait.

This will sound like stating the obvious...but I really hope I'm pregnant.

I've never felt as positive about the possibility of being pregnant as I do right now. I don't know whether it's just because the sun's shining, but I feel like new life is all around me, and it feels like the right time for our own new life as well. Everything feels so fertile and alive around us.

The timing would be great for us as well, which is always nice. We need to go to England next July for my brother in law's wedding, and we'd have a 2.5 month old. Not too young to take on flights, and still breastfeeding (if all goes well), so no change in diet, lots of relatives (including one grandma and grandpa) right on hand to help look after the baby, I'd still be on maternity leave, so it's not like I'd be taking extra holidays, and I'd love to take our little one to all the places where his/her daddy came from. I'm an odd kind of spiritual hippy ;) Land spirits, and the feel of places mean a lot to DH and I, and it would be ideal to let our baby just be in that area for a while, have a little paddle in the river that his daddy played in as a child, etc etc. God I'm so emotional right now...

Still having light pink spotting, and my nose bled when I blew it. I'm so confused. I don't think my cramping has gotten any heavier. Started eating more healthy things, OJ and cheese cubes etc instead of chocolate for snacks, thinking about nutrition, and taking ante-natal supplements. Just kicking myself over the three drinks I had before I suspected I was pregnant.

Going to work shortly. I work at a doctor's practice...pregnant women all the time! Oh well..*deep breath* Hopefully...hopefully....I think a generous sprinkle of fertility and new life for all of us would be an excellent idea right about now!

Gods, Goddesses, spirits...anyone? If you can help us out..many thanks :D

(Yes, I'm just a little emotional right now..)
