We're not obsessing, we're Just Shagging! Part III

Sorry you're having a hard time josie.

If we're checking into the JS asylum today I might as well ask: anyone else know the due date of the baby they're not yet (but might be) pregnant with? Mine's 30th May. I think star signs are a total load of old BS but it would be Gemini, which seems nice enough

God don't get me started on crazy symptom spotting

I'm pretty sure AF is arriving soon too, due friday, which is better than last month when I was convinced I was pg thanks the aforementioned crazy symptom spotting So I shouldn't be too disappointed this month.

Thanks for making me feel better MNers

Sorry you think AF is on the way B2B

Here's hoping it's not trapped wind Brassica

Thanks Brassica, I think I have come through the madness and am now just sure AF is in the post. I could have attributed most of them to being pg, but the grumpyness is def my evil friend pmt It has been a long month!

Is the craziness starting to kick in for you yet? I have spent the past week on google searching early pregnancy symptoms, due date calculators, week by week pregnancy etc I am a shameful jser, lol. Though I didn't test early :)

Cross post B2B. at Sophie Dahl giving up heels, I saw a piccy of them and they did look a bit mismatched! And yes, ha ha, she has to give up wine There?s pros and cons to both sides of this TTC malarkey isn?t there, e.g. BFP would be great, but if BFN, I can enjoy my riding a bit more and won?t get fat anytime soon (no offence meant to any lovely pg ladies on here of course!)

I forget to take into account that we?re a complicated gender and poor DH probably doesn?t know if he?s coming or going most of the time!

Thanks Brassica. I don?t think he?s secretly avoiding having kids, he?s made no secret of always wanting them and has just been waiting for me to be ready really. I think I?m partly to blame for the lack of sex problem ? when I was on the pill my libido went down dramatically and I think he?s just got used to asking and being told no, so now he doesn?t bother. I suspect that?s it anyway but he?s so busy on his game or watching tv I can?t really talk to him about it. I?ve tried, and I will get him to actually listen eventually, I just need him to realise that I need some attention at the minute. I think he thinks relationships just work, he doesn?t seem to realise that you?ve got to make an effort sometimes. We?ll get back on the straight and narrow eventually, it?s not something I?m willing to split up over so we?ll be fine, just need to have a little heart to heart methinks!

I?m glad I can have a bit of a moan on here, like most of us, I haven?t told many people we?re TTC so there? not many people I can talk to, and I feel daft moaning to best mate every month!

Sophie may be pregnant, but she has sacrificed heels to date Jamie Cullum! What next...no wine?!

Hope you are feeling a little better after your rant Josie. I agree that the excitement build up and then getting pmt is not good for the soul....or my husband for that matter.

Decided I'm not testing until Wednesday, but have a large list of AF symptoms including:
sore boobs
sore stomach
grumpy at the dishes not being cleaned properly
really tired

Only weird symptom is I had loads of pant snot the past couple of days? (didn't furkle for it :))

thanks NoMore.

I feel worse today as DH was playing on his computer so late last night he slept on the settee. There's nothing better when you're miserable about not being pg again than waking up on your own. I feel like he doesn't know I'm even here at the minute! Sorry if TMI but, he doesn't want sex, ever, unless I start it, he rarely comes to bed with me and often sleeps on the settee "as he's up late and doesn't want to wake me"

I left him a big note this morning (starting Dear Santa...) with a list of his priorities, me being somewhere in the middle, saying basically that he doesn't realise how much housework I do and that he makes a mess.

Then (this is awful in hindsight) I put 'please don't send us a baby, I am tired and DH won't help, and he won't even realise we're here'. Is that terrible?!

Sorry, I don't normally go on about my problems but I have to get it off my chest somehow. I know it'll all work itself out in the end, just needed a rant

Josie I'll send my DS around to yours. He's wide awake and all but bouncing off the walls. Either he'll put you off having kids (for a few hours at least) or make you smile (and I'll get some quiet!).

Bloody Sophie Dahl

And I've just been on my facebook and came across a piccy of my friend with her new neice who was only born a few weeks ago and shes so cute Pooey

Evening everyone.

I'm a little bit down tonight (sorry for miserable post), just pretty sure I'm not pg this month either. I know it's only my third month of trying, I really don't know how anyone holds out for over a year without going mad! I'm just sick of this every month getting excited, then being extremely disappointed. And I know our families are secretly waiting for us to say we're pg, every month feels like I'm a disappointment

On the plus side, my best mate sent one of those 'send this to x people and you'll have x days of good luck' texts and although I don't usually pay any attention to those, it said strong people say they're fine even with tears in their eyes, and that karma saw my sadness and said hard times are over. Bless her! Just what I needed, and DH bought me plenty choccy to drown my sorrows!

Sorry to hear about your confusion NoMore, that's what I find the hardest - not knowing what's going on. At least if you've got AF you know for definite.

brassica bring it on!

HURRAH vallinna glad you've got a starting point no matter how drug-induced it may be!

I have exactly the same signs as you Crowette - this morning i got the slightest sign of AF but nothing since then... WTF?? i am exactly 15 days dpo so it is due but i was secretly hoping... will hold out for a few days and see what happens - I remember someone saying that they had spotting at 2, 4 and 8 weeks of pregnancy as if her body 'remembered' AF. Fingers crossed!
Of course i have just ordered pre-seed as I said i would at the first sign of AF this time so maybe that 'reverse psychology' will kick in now

choc that's just weird. What's going on??!!

takethat bumpy nipples??!! :o

AHA! My period has run off on holiday with Vallinna! Hope it brings you a BFP soon

Looking forward to the madness Brassica

And all positive noises from you lot, TTL, HTK and Crow :o

Ladies!

Too much to catch up on but I see cowboy has her BFP. Muchos congrats!

NMCB sorry AF has gone missing...please don't read on as I am sorry but....

I GOT MY PERIOD! Oh yes....it's a crappy, light flow one (not surprising as no lining to get rid of!). Totally drug induced and not even a real period (withdrawal bleed) but who cares!!!!!!

I reserve the right never to be pleased to see it again though!

Northisterone is horrible. Lost 8lbs in 2 days from all the retained water it caused.

Gotta go, at airport...delayed...but in VIP lounge with free WiFi hoping my mum doesn't spot my obsession. Back to full force tomorrow.

Oh God now I'm prodding about again. What I need is more jiggery, less pokery! (But the boobs do hurt when I press them )

brassica you can definitely get your hopes up - but only a little bit otherwise you may turn into the wailing banshee I turned into last month

nomore how frustrating. But you say there's something on the test, so perhaps by Tuesday it'll show up good and proper.

I'm symptom spotting like a maniac today. I feel all achey all over my upper back, and pretty lethargic, which is exactly how I felt 6 days before my BFP last month. Plus those Montgomery's tubercles thingummys are up on my left nipple (nipples looked like the Peak District for the few days I was preggo last month, but then I'd never even heard of this Montgomery person before then, so have no idea if they've ever gone like that before!)

Even if I'm not pregnant I'm going to console myself with the fact that nipply bumps have not been named after me. Poor consolation, I know

How frustrating NoMOre! Fingers crossed those pregnancy hormones are just being lazy!

I've told my OH what's happening - not wanting to raise false hopes, but to let him know why I may seem a bit preoccupied and maybe quiet ... but he's gone and got himself all excited!

(Self indulgent sulk alert) Still no fecking BFP so still no admitting for real that I am totally and comletely up the duff and wanting to throw up all over the keyboard.

Now waiting til Tuesday to test again as hubby couldn't even imagine the faintest of faint, can only be seen at a certain angle line on the test this morning. Actually if hubby has his way I'll be down at the Drs first thing tomorrow asking for a blood test. Gah!

Hi HTK

On Friday I had what looked like fresh blood spotting, hence me thinking AF was here ... it was only when I wiped. Had panty liners in since and later on Friday it died off to the brown discharge, mainly when I wipe again. Was still very pale brown/peachy yesterday morning and so when OH got frisky and suggested JSing I thought it may well get AF going properly if she was lurking but absolutely nothing since then - just loads of clear CM, so much so (TMI alert!!) that I feel like I'm blowing bubbles haha!!!

Got pelvic cramping, which now I think about it, isn't really like AF cramps - similar, but just don't feel 'right' IYSWIM?

I'm wondering if the stress I'm feeling at the moment is holding AF back.

Weird, crow, I was just about to post something similar! AF "arrived" Friday in the form of some brownish discharge. Would usually expect full flow to follow but now Sunday and nothing but a bit of brown discharge still. Thought I'd give it today and test tomorrow but have just changed my shifts to nightshifts until Thursday so will wait and if no proper AF will test Thursday.
