So hubby gave me an early Christmas pressie ( a clear blue test, followed by an hour of me sobbing "Not the reaction I was expecting" Sais Mr Hyde, any how)

So I am in the tww, last month I came on 8 days early so I was not really sure what the hell was going on. So I went off my dates from the early period and I am now in the tww......

So enough babbling ( can you tell I am excited yet?)

Symptoms I have had ( or imagined I have had)

Cramping from around day 20 of my usually 28 day cycle, still no spotting...
Painful boobies
Increase in cm ( sorry) its egg white texture
feel like I have been punched in the front of my ribs, under my boobs bit, you know what I mean, just under the painful weird rib bit that sticks out under the ribcage
I have 7 days until I test I need to gossip.

I am trying not to symptom spot and officially not supposed to be start TTC until Jan, but we DTD 3 times in my fertile window this month which is my first month off the pill (didn't expect to OV at all). I am in my TWW with AF due on 28th. Pretty similar timing to you?

This will be my first, but hubby's third. We got married in June this year and feel like the expectation is on us so trying to keep our cool and not talk about it with anyone else as don't want any more pressure than what we're putting ourself under. How many do you have?

This would be my 4th and last, I have two boys, and a little boy in heaven :(miss him very much, he was my first little guy.. xx

After what happened to him, its always been a high stress situation when I am pregnant, we feel a lot calmer now so I would love to just enjoy this one and cant wait to get them in my arms ( haven't even conceived yet and I am already picturing the baby, lol)

Do his children live with you? Where are you from?

Keep telling myself I don't want to test until I'm late as don't want to get into the habit of being disappointed... and waste tests etc etc... But I really want to know, especially as it's over Christmas. Xmas Confused

So sorry to hear about your first Flowers

We have his children most holidays and every other weekend as their mother lives about 40 minutes away and the eldest is at a special school with arranged travel so it's not so easy during the week. They are 11 and 6 years old, both boys.

We are in Kent. Where are you?

I'm the first of my generation of kids in our family so this is all totally new for me (other than obviously being part of the two boys lives, but I wasn't there as babies of course).

Ah, thanks xx

Oh that's lovely that you get to spend a good amount of time with them too. I was the oldest of 8 grandchildren, first to have children too, still now only one of them apart from me has had a child, I still sometimes look in the mirror and think "well when did this all happen?" Haaa.

I have been so desperate to test, if I get to the evening of the 28th without af showing I will test, that's how I have always done it, as I am normally on by 6am ( strange I know... but hay ho!) I think I am out though, I have had cramping fairly intensely now so I am sure I have come on about every 10 mins or so.. :( Oh well, next moth will be the charm.

We live in Bedford, its near Milton Keynes, very glamorous haa!

So AF came yesterday lunchtime for me... Strangely 2 days early, but I'd rather than than be waiting around for it I guess to get into my next cycle. Time to start counting down again :-) How are you doing?

Hope Christmas went well and the boys enjoyed themselves.

They had a lovely time :) it was our first Christmas with just us 4 ( only second since we have been together 13 years :) ) Did you have a great time xx

Oh no, boo af! :( I am sure next moth will be the charm, and its lots of fun trying anyway xxxxx Flowers

I am still awaiting the dreaded af too, I usually am on by 6am on the 28th day, so I am trying not to get too excited I have been sure I am out this month, I will wait until hubby gets up and then see where we are then......

Oh wow, sounds special!
Ours was lovely thanks, always a hectic morning with rushing around trying to get the boys to see all of our family in our village (both his and my parents, as well as all of their cousins live within minutes of each other). It's great, but very busy before they get collected by their mother to go back for Christmas lunch. I'm sure as they get a bit older it will settle down.

I'm now CD4 so impatiently waiting for the New Year to be over with so we can properly start.

How are you doing? Got fingers still crossed for you Smile

Nah I am out, af didn't show but I have had over the top spotting ...... had the migraine from hell, its been days x just hope af starts properly so we can start again too, I am glad though I didn't want an aug baby ( they induce me 3 weeks early) they would be the youngest in the class, my other boys are both the youngest in their years and its really shit for them!

Glad you had a lovely, although crazy Christmas xx Any plans for new years?

Ahhh I feel shit!

Hello ladies. I'm on day 3 of my tww, already driving me mad!

I'm hoping to not symptom spot as last month I had loads of symptoms like change in taste and smell, nausea, tiredness etc and then I got a BFN and my AF arrived so trying to rein in my symptom spotting this month but it's hard!!!
