Everyone will probably see this thread was started by me and think "Oh god, not her again".

You can tell it's getting towards that time of the month.

Anyway, on day 26 of cycle - have had a really dull tummy ache for last 2 days as if A/F is going to arrive - actually been going to the toilet to check it's that bad (Gross i know but i have to be graphic).
Woke up this morning feeling really sicky but thought i was just probably hungry as had not eaten last night - therefore went to the shop to buy a Mars Bar (Healthy, i know) and have now just thrown the whole mars bar back up again.

Is it just wishful thinking? Can't test yet as cycle's vary from 28 days to 38 days.

bunny2 · 24/08/2003 20:56

Well get off Mumsnet and into the bedroom!

Egypt · 24/08/2003 14:39

Hi all, sounds good bunny. keep eating that fruit and veg! Poor DH, shoved the OPK in his face just 5 mins ago as got a really strong surge!! HOORAH!!!!! day14. never happened like this b4. v excited. fingers crossed!

bunny2 · 24/08/2003 14:22

This is very weird indeed, I am hungry and thirsty all the time but prefer fruit and water!?!? Cant be me. I really dont feel like eating unhealthily this time. LAst time I remember gorging on chips with curry sauce as a bedtime snack almost nightly, but now I feel like salmon and rice instead.

quackers · 24/08/2003 11:22

EXACTLY!!!! Yes me too, I'm another thats got a stone to lose really, going to try before conceiving again. Not heard from Jems, she said she'd try and get into work if it was good news - speak Tues Jems xxxx

bunny2 · 23/08/2003 20:51

Twiglett, tha's me exactly! Tried to lose that last stone and a half but never did. I am determined not to do the same this time so I've been out to buy loads of fruit.

Quackers, may the fertility doll bestow upon you another baby.

Egypt - I'm here honey! Grewat news!! I don't think I've seen this CM stuff b4 but next time will look out!! Poor DH!!! Bless them - really pleased, you;re going to be another bunny!!
My LH - I'm not supposed to use Persona until I've had 2 cycles - I've not had one yet so I was silly to try - still have pg boobs even, which is v frustrating and upsetting but they will go and hopefully come back agian. hey guess what. When we went to Bali on Honey moonm we were given a fertility doll and within a month we conceived - healthy baby, not seen the thing for 3 years and it turned up today, I've hung it on our bedroom door again for good luck!!!!!

bunny2 · 23/08/2003 11:36

Hi Egypt, go for it girl!

Egypt · 23/08/2003 10:44

Hi Guys, dont know if any of you post on a Saturday -no reason not to if you're not at work i spose. Day 13 now, testing LH again this afternoon. Very Very much CM again! Never known it to be like this. Had to show DH this am just because i was so amazed. He wasnt very impressed! Def a bit twingy in the abdomen/side dept. Fingers crossed. Sorry to be graphic girls.!

Quackers, it sounds like your LH is fine, from what twiglett says. It was prob a good strong surge this cycle and is therefore still high for average readings as it goes down. Put your mind at rest at the docs though.

Thanks twiglett for the reassurance on the clearblue thing. same lines it is then.

Cant wait to hear from Jem either!

bunny2 · 22/08/2003 21:02

Cant wait for Tue for Jems news, she had better get herself down to an internet cafe.

Quacks and Egypt, I wish you tons of luck with this lh monitoring. I never really got the hang of the science bit but you both sound well read up on the subjct.

Yes Egypt, I'm still hungry but determined not to got OTT this time. In my first pg I ate for the sake of it, just because I could... never did shift the entire 5 stone I put on!

quackers · 22/08/2003 18:08

No I'm at home Egypt now. Thought I'd see if Jems had posted but forgot, she has no pc at home. You're only day 12 still, I kmow I had several days of faint lines before a normal one, same as the guide line not stronger that I've known anyway. The only darker one has been that one the other day. Just tested again and it's still as if a surge is taking place. 48 hours now of having a surge line - not good. Looked on web for stuff on over productoin of LH, there's loads of evidence that is can cause m/c. Defo going to Doc's to ask for LH test.
Egypt - hope tommorw is better and u get your surge. I use persona sticks but haven;t been putting them in the monitor, just reading them this month. Speak later xxxx

Egypt · 22/08/2003 18:00

oh no i've missed you. do you only chat at work quackers? if so - speak mon (bank hols?) tues. Tested and the LH was still low. Can't imagine getting a positive on these clearblue things. i used cheapy internet ones in the past and they always gave me a positive cos they were so sensitive and therefore crap! they detected the lowest level of LH, too low for ov to have taken place. never had a positive on clearblue. does anyone actually get a line darker than the ref line? or just the same when its positive?

Hi Bunny, how are you feeling? still hungry? any other symptoms?????

quackers · 22/08/2003 17:07

31st August. Yes medication will help, not had any probs b4 but the line was so strong - Egypt was fab. Will see the Doc. have to go, home time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bunny2 · 22/08/2003 16:39

Sorry, forgot to add the last bit. Can you have too much lh? If so, can medication help balance it?

bunny2 · 22/08/2003 16:38

Spending far to much time here today! My parents have taken ds out for the day and I am judt lazing around reading, watching tv and visiting Mumsnet, its brilliant.

Quacks, when is your daughter 3?

quackers · 22/08/2003 16:34

Yes I agree, we're just different! I feel the same with my dd. She's 3 next week - and would adore a baby bro or sis, she makes me cry when she pulls out a little knitted top for a newborn and she says its for brothers and sisters - I have never told her this, she must have picked it up at nursery. I hope I'll be able to give her one soon. May have found a reason why I have miscarried. My LH is very strong for 2 days now almost 3. The line wass bluer than I have ever seen a blue line. Don't think it's PCO, just too much LH, will have it tested and then I'll know for sure!

bunny2 · 22/08/2003 16:10

Quacks, ds is 3. I have talked about him lots on eczema and food allergy threads. He is perfect, his eczema is under control and he is the best thing in the world. I so desperately want him to have a sibling, he once cuddled a knitted clown saying it was his brother, I nearly wept!

Re husbands/partners, dh was never as involved or obsessed as me. I think it is a female thing as it is our bodies that everything happens to. Also, in our case, I think dh was unwilling to get too excited because of the possible disappointment. And dont forget most men are crap at voicing feelings anyway.Seeing him cry last night made me realise that he was going through it all too.

Come on Jems what time?
