Gee this TWW is going to drag on more than ever. For the last two days I have been feeling nauseous and had sore breasts, but it's way too early for symptoms - so I must be imagining it, right?

i totally understand Belinda.....im dpo3 and already im about to scream

Not sure Belinda, all depends on when you O'd, how quickly implantation could take place, etc etc. Saying that..implanting in 4 days is possible..not sure any eggie could make it in 2 days! ;)

Day 26 for me. 11 days DPO..I think. Have had a few symptoms which really strongly reminded me of last time I was pg, really thirsty, clogged up nose and throat, increased appetite, and different smell 'down there, which DH noticed and he is now convinced I am pg.

The last two days I've felt less sure though..and I have a hpt upstairs, so tempted to go and find out. Need a wee now, but saving it to test, lol!

Fingers crossed for you Lisa :pray::pray:

Good luck Lisa, for when you decide to test. I've had a BFP at 11DPO - so I'm not sure if I could have the willpower to hold out for longer :)

My symptoms have disappeared now - it's probably all in my head.

Well, just tested, and BFN :(

Feeling really sad because I just found out one of my closest friends is 4 weeks pregnant. It's just going to kill me if I have to watch her go through it all, and know I'm meant to have been there, done that!It's not that I'm not happy for her, I'm extremely happy for her..it's just meant to be my turn as well!

*sighs*

I suppose I could have tested too early. I don't feel like AF is coming. Who knows...feeling really disheartened and sad...

Acria - when I was pg last time I was convinced AF was coming.... and it wasn't so don't lose out hope yet. I only tested positive at 13DPO and it was extremely faint, the one at 14DPO was stronger.

Acria - don't give up hope. It's never over til AF appears :)

Thanks for the support girls. Feeling a bit more positive this morning. I seem to have come down with a cold, which is lovely. I have a shockingly clogged and sore throat, irritated eyes and a sniffly nose. I hope colds don't interfere with any possible fetuses. Anyone know about this?

Having said that, my nose has been weird for about a week. I'm sure my breasts are a bit tender again today. Not heaps, and not agonisingly, but just twingey, feeling a bit of an ache. Bahh! There's so many symptoms I could list, but I could just be noticing things that are usually there, that I normally ignore! *huffs*

DH bought me M&Ms and is currently making me a lovely fresh ham sandwich. All will be well...

Stay away AF..stay away...good news is this cycle has already been logner than the last two. Last cycle was 25 days, previous to that was 27. I'm getting a few small cramps..but other than that, not feeling too AFey this morning.

How is everyone else going this lovely Sunday morning?

Lisa xx

Acria - Im praying really hard that AF stays away and you get a BFP in a few days....

hugs sweety

Hi Acria,

I'm hearing you! I tested today and BFN also - I'm hoping that it's just too early to tell yet. I found out this week that another of our close friends is pg - with twins. Am happy for her & DH because they have been TTC for ~ 2 yrs now & this was their 3rd attempt at IVF. Our group caught up at a BBQ last weekend, and I have to say that was one of the hardest times for me sitting in the group being the only female not pregnant. As much as I love all of them dearly, I couldn't get away from there fast enough. It's so hard not to question 'why them' and 'why not me'?

2 quick questions...has anyone ever heard of soreness in pubic bone as an early pregnancy symptom? I have woken up for the past two mornings with such severe pain in the bone...can't keep sleeping so get up...usually resolves itself short time after I get up. Don't want to get my hopes up - but I've not had this before!
And does anyone know if it is generally harder TTC with a retroverted uterus. I found out from OB following m/c that I had a retroverted uterus - which he said was quite common and I shouldn't really worry about it. I'd like to know though if there's anything else I should be doing/trying!?!?

Thanks so much Treelo :) The more positive thoughts, the better! I'll be thinking of you this time next week.

Kaib, I've only read a little about retroverted uterus, and what it said was that people with retroverted uteruses might need to use different positions to maximise chances of conceiving, obviously due to the different angles involved. So maybe that would be worth looking into, and talking to your ob about?

Was at DH's football presentation night last night (where he won most improved player in his first season! Go baby!), and one of the girls there has a 6 month old son whom we all fawn over. I got a cuddle last night, and we were waltzing together, and he got tired and rested his soft little head against my jaw...I just melted. Dh came over and was playing with him...*sighs* it was great. And then after that was when we went to our friends' house. I knew they were trying, and they know we're trying, and when I saw her earlier that evening, she looked really excited and I thought 'I bet she's pregnant'..then when we got to their house, she's like 'I have something to tell you guys..don't tell anyone else yet though...' And I couldn't wait, I just went 'I knew it! I knew it! Congratulations!'

I'm so excited for them, and feel really privileged to be the only people other than family who they told. Hopefully in a few days I can call with some good news to. We've been joking about being pregnant at the same time and eveything..would be great.

Lots of positive thoughts for everything. Still no sign of AF here, and I've been exhausted..got up at 10:30, went back to bed at 1pm and got up from that nap at 3. Fingers crossed for everybody!

Kaib - That would have been such a hard thing to sit through and im sure they probably understood if you seemed a little eager to leave. I dont know if i would have lasted long either. Its such a hard feeling to describe to someone who hasnt had to wait or who hasnt lost a baby. Its not that your not happy for them but it still feels like your heart is tearing in two. Here's hoping that in a few days that BFN will turn into a BFP !!

Sorry i dont have any answers to your questions but i hope you find them !!
hugs
treelo

Acria - the last two times I've been pregnant I had cold like symptoms from week 3 of my cycle - that could be what's happening to you as well. Having a cold is no problem when you are pregnant but the flu is. Flu whilst pregnant is now thought to increase your risk of having a child that has mental illness in later life.... bit weird but that is the latest research.

I'm the same as Satya - both times I was pregnant I had a cold around the time AF was due. Spooky coincedence??

Okay getting excited now, lol. I know I could be setting myself up for disappointment, but it really can't be helped! Still no sign of AF..just going to take it really easy the next couple of days before I work again, and will buy another couple of hpts next time I go shopping.

I've already checked what the edd would be..June 3rd. I've had this sore and stuffy nose..sore throat and achiness all over..me neck's been sore for about a week. Sore bbs..tired, hungry and thirsty...if this was anyone else, I'd be telling them they were probably pg.

How are the rest of you going? Taking it easy I hope. Sunday nights are always laid back...but a little bit crappy because you know the next day is Monday morning ;)

Well, I'm no longer in the TWW - AF arrived for me yesterday and although I'm bummed, I know that I can start TTC very soon

Sorry that AF arrived, LizJessie :(

Thanks MissBelinda - I'm ok - although rather depressed - I am just hoping that this cycle is my cycle

I see everyone is still in the tww! This wait is taking soooooo long. I am now 7 dpo and compared all my charts and noticed I always have a temp drop on dpo 7 but this time I have had a .1 temp rise so it is a little exciting although trying not to get my hopes up to high.

Acria- Goodluck for testing tomorrow! how exciting I wish I was there already!
LJ- Sorry af arrived. after the initial dissapointment of af I get excited again as another chance has arrived.

I went and visited a friend in hospital on sat who just had a little girl! It was nice but it has really made me sad as this week is my due date and I would of had my little girl to. I hate that I will never meet her. I am just praying that I am ment to get a bfp this week as it would be her birthday and what a gift a bfp would be.
Anyway hope everyone else is staying strong in this waiting game!

Hello to everyone. I haven't posted for ages but have been lurking around all the time checking on everyone else and what they have been up to. Good luck to everyone for some BFP's real soon!
Still no luck for me yet, we have been to our fertility centre for the big chats and we will be starting our first cycle of ivf next month, I am waiting for AF to show up to be able to start it.
We gave it one last good effort to try to fall naturally this month and I am expecting AF this weekend, so I guess I am in the tww. It would be great if we do manage to get a BFP on our own (save us heaps of money too :D) but I am feeling pretty good because if it doesn't happen then there's the excitement of the ivf.
Anyhow just wanted to say hi, I hope everyone else is having a good day even though it is Monday..

So sorry AF came LizJessie. Big hugs to you..I know how disappointing it is. Make sure the other half takes care of you :)

Cherie - I don't know a lot about temping, but a change from normal can't be bad :) Think positive thoughts!It must have been difficult seeing your friend's baby..I really hope you get your BFP soon. It's so hard to have had a loss, and watch everyone around you seemingly having no trouble. This will make us all treasure our babies so much when they arrive!

Nicole - that is such a great positive attitude to see :) Fingers crossed for you.

As for me, my throat and nose are still being 'coldish', AF still hasn't shown herself, and I'm sure my nipples 'looked pregnant' in the shower this morning. I've been mildly crampy for the last few days..will test tomorrow if AF keeps staying away.

Lisa xx

It sure feels good not to be the only crazy one in the TTW.

My boobs are sore. Yesterday I was convinced I was preg. Today my boobs are sore and I am totally convinced I am not. Before I knew when I was preg. Now I have no idea. I want to test. I want to test ... but it would be neg so I better save my $. In theory on Monday it is possible but I think Wednesday would be more accurate and cost effective so I'll see.

Here's to lots of BFP's I hear June is a great time to have a baby. I think we all should. :bluedust:

Oh and my due date would be June 6. I looked last week.

Tried posting this last night, but problems with server.

Acria & Treelo - thanks sincerely for your words of understanding & support. I will give it a few more months before going back for some advice from OB re retroverted uterus - haven't seen OB since post-d&c check-up; the impression he gave me was that he didn't need to see me until I am pg again. Was speaking with my sister about it yesterday as she has same thing (apparently is hereditary), and she mentioned she fell pg for both her pregnancies on the 2nd attempt at TTC; so hopefully it won't be too much of a barrier. I'm just being my paranoid self and trying to come up with a solution for every potential barrier sooner rather than later. I have looked into alternative positions for BD'ing - will try these out next month! All the best with testing today Acria.

I'm fairly sure this isn't our month - AF cramps started Monday night (even though AF not due until Thurs), and started some spotting last night. Temp drop this morning, and sore BBs not quite as sore anymore. I thought maybe with the spotting this could have been a sign of possible implantation (being hopeful!) but when temp dropped this morning, I am now extremely doubtful - same day of temp drop as last month. Am already looking into what I can do differently next month...LOL!

Hi Everyone,

Well its nice to see so many crazy ladies in here !! Im fast becoming a raving lunatic this tww, Im trying not to look too hard into sypmtoms but as you all know - its pretty impossible. So far i have lots of cm, sore bb (sometimes) and had a really bad headache all weekend. Today i went for my walk with a friend, which takes an hour and a half. Normally when i come back home, i start the housework, but today i just collapsed on the bed and fell asleep, even with the boys home, i just couldnt keep my eyes open. Even now i feel exhausted. So im a little confident, but i also know that af can be a ***** and will show up whenever she pleases.
Im probably just coming down with something !!!

LJ - fingers crossed for next cycle hun, im praying for you.

Kaib - No need to thank us, we are all here for support and understanding. You hang in there !!

Acria - hugs to you sweety

Hi to everyone else....sorry im a bit slack on personals today....im really tired.

hugs to all

Hi everyone,

I'm not so neurotic this cycle (yay) but would like it to be Saturday already just in case I go crazy waiting to test later this week. I've had so much on this cycle that the TWW hasn't been so painful I guess, and I'm a little resigned to the fact that these things take time, and my stressing over it isn't going to help change anything.

No symptoms for me this TWW either.

Hope you're all having a good week :)

Hey everyone~ Kiwigirl I am the same as you sort of, my AF came Aug. 29th so I am expecting that I shouldn't test till after then as the witch could show her face by then. I haven't had too many symptoms either, heavy bbs and slightly sore but that can be anything! Grrr no stress here :)

It's looking like no joy for me this cycle. Though still trying to hold onto a little bit of hope.

AF seems to have come..right on the expected day. But it's weird...I have avery little cramping, and my joints are as sore as they usually are at the start of AF. Also the bleeding is not as heavy or dark red as usual, and no clots.

I'm hoping it's a breakthrough bleed, and there's someone in there nestled in safe. I'm also a bit of a realist though, and realise that I'm probably not pg. Had a good cry last night about it. Did a test with was neg..and the whole thing has made DH realise he really really does want a baby, and now wants to try again this cycle. That would be fantastic..but BIL's wedding is at the end of next July. That means if I got pg this next cycle, edd would be early July..if the baby came on time, it'd be about 3 weeks max if we travelled to England, and it came late (as a lot seem to) we'd have no hope of going.

I was happy to go with a 6 or 7 week old..but 3 weeks feels..risky. I don't really want Dh to miss his brother's wedding, though he says he'd happily miss it for the chance to have a baby. I suppose we could go a couple of months after...it's just not the same as actually being at the wedding however.

If only I was pg now! The timing would be perfect!

I'm off to research info on travelling with newborns -_-

Lisa xx

Lisa - Sorry to see the onset of AF :( Maybe you should try again this month and then cross the bridge (the wedding/flying issue) when you have confirmation? If you decide that you will wait - how long will you have to wait before you can try again?

Hi to all the other "obsessive" TWW ladies - I mean that in the nicest possible way.

I ordered a pack of 10 HPT's from LC to be sent by Courier on the weekend, and got them yesterday. As soon as I got them I had this overwhelming urge to test straight away - why? because I'm crazy and it's way too early, so I talked myself out of it - but they keep looking at me every time I go in the bathroom. I'm telling myself that I will wait til Saturday to test - so let's see how much willpower I have LOL

Oh poo (can I say that on this forum)!?!?? BFN for me today which doesn't surprise me because my symptoms are telling me AF on its way tomorrow - BBs no longer tender; extreme teariness yesterday & last night (burst into tears when S-I-L asked me whether I was pg yet; and we were with a group of people...how typical!). I am fairly confident now that I can not trust my symptoms of very full & sore BBs and blue veins, and bloating, as I'm getting these symptoms EVERY cycle; so they must just be typical premenstrual symptoms for me. Can someone remind me of this next cycle when I start trying to read these same symptoms...LOL!

Good news- A BFP for me :bfp:

Does anyone know about poor ovarian reserves and M/C risk???????

Quite worried. I'll be busy praying.

Congratulations Jayney!!! That's wonderful news!! However, I have no idea about poor ovarian reserves or what that actually means. But woo hooo on the BFP!

Congrats on the :bfp: Jayney - Glad to hear it :)

Wonderful news jayney !!!! best of luck for a sticky pg !!!

OMG! I just tested and got a BFP! Today is my due date for the angle i lost so This has turned from a sad day to an almost perfect day!

The biggest congrats cherie26 - wishing you a hhp

HUGE CONGRATS Cherie and Jayney!!! WOOOOOO HOOOOO :clap: :clap:
:confetti: Hope you both have very sticky (and boring!) pregnancies, and spread it around, a run of BFPS for everyone!!!!!
