    Where abouts are you in the 2ww?

    I'm probably 10dpo. Haven't been charting or anything but just felt that I oved a week last Thursday. My cycles haven't settled down yet post mc so not really sure when I'm due. I did do a test on Friday for some mysterious reason, weirdly enough it was a BFN.

    I'm so desperate to be pregnant again that I'm just becoming obsessed by it all. I think I may need to go cold turkey from all online ttc forums but not sure I'm brave enough! I actually feel angry about not being pg, not even really sad. And I just cannot cope with the idea it could take a few more months. I'm not sure whether I should go to talk to my GP about the mc. There wasn't a hint of anything going wrong and the only was I can describe it is my body just opened and the baby fell out. It was all over in 2 hours. I had a bump too :(:( Sorry, this isn't the place to say that

    Evening all,

    Congrats MV. I feel you have been here longer than a month! Hope you have a healthy 9 months.

    AFM, feeling a little bit down tonight. I swear I get a bit depressed in the 2ww - it all feels a little useless. And I feel like my life is totally on hold while I wait... and to make it harder I am heading into the 'hating pregnant belly' phase of the month that I find really mentally draining.

    Fingers crossed something is different. My b00bs are more massive than usual, but that is normal enough in the 2ww!

    that sounds like a horrible experience :( have you thought about/ had counselling? sounds like you might benefit from a few sessions, although i'm the miscarraige counselling promoter so might just be me lol xx

    Morning ladies - hope everyone is ok?

    This is definately the longest 2ww ever known to man, how can I only be 11dpo feels like 100!

    I have either extreme pmt (or something else - not symptom spotting promise!) As I nearly cried this morning when I couldn't find a white bra to wear to work! And yesterday I shouted at a poor man in McDonald's as I really fancied one of their breakfasts and after queuing for ages, I got to the front and breakfast had just finished!

    Other then that b o o b s are really sore (normal before AF arrives) and I had a tiny bit of pink blood after BDing last night - nothing since.

    An ex colleague has put on fb this morning that she's pregnant - I'm being surrounded, so that's made me a bit fed up and hubbys birthday present arrived yesterday, but doesn't fit (luckily got him to try it on) and now he won't get the right size until after his bday, so I only have a couple of tiny presents for him...

    :rotfl: My DH last went to the GP when he was 16 with a serious eye infection... he is still allegedly registered with the GP where his parents live but I'd be amazed if they've kept him on their books for the last 15 years...

    Funnily enough, my OH hadn't been to his optician in 12 years and they still had him on record! :)

    Hope work's going OK for you, take it easy :)

    OH is at the doctor today, what's the betting he comes out with some antibiotics for his chest infection having 'forgotten' to ask about his SA?! :p

    I've got my norethisterone so this month we're officially 'off' TTC :o I feel pretty good about it, nice to have a break and I'm hoping that with the fiddling around this cycle we'll catch OV on holiday and make a Disney baby! :T

    Big hugs Courgette, that does sound awful :( I agree with TeamLowe that counselling might be good, especially if you're feeling really angry right now. Maybe you need to put some feelings to rest IYSWIM? We're all here for support if you need to rant :)

    Sorry you're feeling fed up too Loulou. After so long being completely docile on the pill I like to embrace my mood swings as proof that I'm working 'normally', complete with crazy hormones! Makes me feel a bit better about being a moody cow! :p

    ETA: Lovely news about Emsbet! :j

    Hi all

    Does anyone have any experience with Clearblue Digitals OPK?

    My periods are all over the place as i'm still breastfeeding at night and I want to know if i'm ovulating or not and may need quite a few due to having wonky cycles.

    They are on offer in my local Morrisons at the moment - a 7 pack is £3.16. I bought a pack last night whilst doing the shopping and they have a long expiry date so wondering if its worth stocking up.

    Was going to buy some internet cheapies but these arent a great deal more expensive and obviously wont have to wait for the postman.

    Hi Sammy
    That seems like a great price to me! I've used them for a few months now, think I got them off ebay, but not that cheap.
    I've got the clearblue app on my pc, and by logging dates on there, I've managed to test on the exact date for last 2months, so only used one test per month. However this month, I've tested last 3 days and still waiting for ov! If you don't have regular cycles it could be expensive, but if they're only differing by a few days each month, you might not need more than one pack a month.
    They're easy to use and read as you get the smiley face too :)
    I'd definitely stock up at that price, and will be calling at morrisons after work :)
