Hi Joanie,
DH and I are ttc our first, been at it 18 months and no luck. I'm on 5dpo and the 2ww is killing me.
Is it just me or does this bank holiday make the wait seem even longer than normal, must be coz I'm not running about like a muppet lol.

im 13 dpo and i'm either having really good symptoms or AF is well on her way.
emotional, vivid dreams (some of positive test!! and DH had one too) backache, some acne, sharp pulling pinching pains. FINGERS CROSSED!! i'm testing this weekend!

My first time, been trying about a year and a half. Diagnosed PCOS (with no periods at all), tried Clomid, switched to Vitex after hearing really good things and getting angry at my hospital being incompetent, careless and rude.

Vitex seems to be working phenomenally well. I had a period after taking it for about a month, this is my first real cycle on it.

My symptoms today (13 DPO):
* Abdomen: Bloating
* Abdomen: Cramps (Not PMS/AF)
* Abdomen: Gas/Flatulence
* Abdomen: Heaviness/Fullness
* Abdomen: UTI or Feels Like
* Back & Legs: Achy Legs or Hips
* Back & Legs: Backache
* Chest: Breasts Feel Heavy or Full
* Emotional: "I Just Feel Pregnant"
* Emotional: Anxious/On Edge
* Emotional: Crankiness/Irritability
* Emotional: Depressed
* Emotional: Moodiness
* Emotional: Very Happy
* Emotional: Weepy
* Head: Dizziness or Light Headed
* Head: Dry Mouth/Increased Thirst
* Head: Increased Saliva
* Head: Strange/Metallic Taste in Mouth
* Head: Stuffy Nose
* Overall: Fatigue/Exhaustion
* Overall: Vivid Dreams (I made a zombie movie in my dreams last night, it was a blast)
* Pelvis: Constipation
* Pelvis: Frequent Urination
* Stomach: Increased Appetite
* Stomach: Nausea
* Stomach: New or Strange Cravings (bacon covered in maple syrup and mint chip ice cream/Dr Thunder floats. Has to be Dr. Thunder, Dr. Pepper is making me nauseous. Also, Chinese restaurant I usually hate)

Think I had Luteal Phase Dip recently.

This is also weird, but I'm a former smoker, and I saw this lady the other day with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth, and I actually threw up in my mouth. Hasn't been all that long, and only three weeks ago my reaction was a desperate urge to just bum one. wtf???

So my fingers are crossed. Think I'll try to test soon, I think I'm going to be very angry and confused if I'm not pregnant.

I'm also new to the site, so it's wonderful to meet all of you.

Hello everyone!! My name is Joanie, i'm 25 DB is 35. we're trying for our first together (he has 3 from a previous marriage) we've been TTC since dec 2010. It's a real struggle being young and not being able to get pregnant "fast" but i'm a google queen now so I understand that it takes 3 - 6 months for someone my age and can take up to a year. So let the waiting begin!! It's very stressful.. thinking your a failure every month and your body playing mind tricks on you with symptoms.
Symptoms this month..
10 dpo - painful sex, like he was hitting my low cervix.
11 dpo - sharp/pulling/ pinching pains in lower abdomen, back ache, acne, EMOTIONAL, vivid dreams
TODAY 13 dpo- some cramps like AF, emotional, tired, some soreness in boobs, feeling really down, EWCM
So I hope its good.. took a test at 11 dpo BFN =/ but that may have been early. I will test again this afternoon *fingers crossed* but if BFN its not over till AF shows her face.
If im not pregnant I think I will take a break on cycle 4 next month... its beginning to take a toll
