Waving the witch off and starting afresh.. Buddies welcome!

Ohno actually lol-ing at your post!! Treat yourself to a nice poas !! I can't keep a straight face when dp suggests a massage as I have this image of Ross from Friends with his wooden spoons ha ha!

I usually use the plastic cup we have in the bathroom cabinet for my secret poas antics... not actually sure why it's there actually, but pleased it is! Oooh you can hide things in your Amazon orders, that's what I had to do with dp's Christmas pressie! and all of the frer's I have bought in the last month

Your symptoms do sound positive give it til maybe 11 or 12 dpo, I think I got a faint bfp on an frer at 12dpo. And mimi we really need you to poas!

Ooh there's two frer on eBay for less than £7.

Ooh mimi poas! We need some Friday excitement! How are you feeling now?

Minty I love netball! Being fit is def a positive for a healthy pregnancy and if you end up aching then you will need a nice massage. And my husbands idea of a massage doesn't usually involve candles and scented oils . Never thought about Amazon for frers, will need to find a way or removing them from the "things you've recently purchased" because my husband often accidentally sees my account if I forget to log out and he has no idea about the poas addiction....lol

What about you drmum how are you doing?

I'm feeling a bit weird today - not sure if I'm imagining things or if I might have some actual tangible symptoms!? Woke up with a cold so I put all my recent aches and pains down to that but then went to the gym this morning and the bubbles in the jacuzzi hurt my boobs so I got out (and it was only later that I realised I prob shouldn't have been in there anyway...??) yesterday I felt a bit queasy after lunch and dinner, and after this mornings swim I also felt a bit off but hadn't had breakfast so maybe that was it. Ate something and got a coffee but still feel a bit queasy. Have had low mild cramping for a few days and severe exhaustion for a few days too and have been sleeping really well when I'm usually a crap sleeper - though this is prob because of the cold too. Poas (was so annoyed, was going to treat myself to a poas before the weekend and my husband decided to work from home! So had to pee in the pot we use to wash my sons hair with and hide it under his bath step now need to try and scrub the pot without anyone noticing...) and negative obviously, think I'm 9dpo. Will stock up on frer ready for the obsession to grow next week when husband should be firmly behind his desk out of my way, leaving me to squint at non existent lines in peace

Morning ladies

Hope you're feeling a bit better today Mimi. Did you poas? A very short unusual AF, that's what drmum and I had when we got bfps!

ohno I struggled with buying frers round here too and in the end got them off Amazon and they're a lot cheaper than in the shops!

I'm fine thank you for asking everyone, and mimi yes shag week is fast approaching going to be on it! But.... I have just started playing netball again, first time since school. It was such fun! But knackering, god I am stiff in places I didn't know I had muscles!! So this will either help or hinder the sexathon.....

to drmum hope you are feeling a bit better.

Hie minty, hope u have had a pleasant day. Have u started opks yet. Soon will be sexathon .wanted so much to join u tmwr with a little boozing down our sorrows but with the medication I have, hmm suicide lol.

Ohno you made me lol, it's never possible to take it easy when ttc. With all those symptoms, everything crossed you get lucky this cycle.

Evening ladies
Had a misery day,bp was way higher 180/120 and had to be observed for three hours after medication but am feeling better now. Headache almost gone. The funny thing is af also gone((my body is playing tricks on me))

I can only imagine what you went through drmum, sorry. Worse when the little one was feeling out of place. I've had bad experiences with teeth((not good)). Hope u better now hun.

Waving back!

I think I missed the bit where af hit mimi, shit news!

Drmum you've just reminded me I need to book a dentist apt before my free treatment runs out. I had massive issues with wisdom teeth so you have my sympathy! I think actually one of mine caused some kind of abcess and I had to have it out. Agony. And that was with all the drugs!

How are you minty?

Think I'm 8dpo here and unfortunately the obsession with testing has hit. Was feeling rather positive earlier - had low cramping and felt a bit queasy earlier. Obviously it was a bfn. Bought super drug early response tests and don't really like them, the window is really small and there's lots of shadow so you can't analyse non existent lines very easily. Really hard to buy frer round here, where do you all get them from? Are there other tests I should be trying? Can't remember exactly what dpo I got a line on a frer last time so not sure when to start getting excited, think it was about 10 dpo so maybe over the weekend.

Love how my initial relaxed state has disappeared st the sniff of a poas opportunity... Sigh.

Morning ladies waves hope you are all ok. How's things Mimi? Is AF in full flow? You BP is quite high isn't it, I wonder what is making it fluctuate? Is it usually the high side of normal? Mine's the other end of the scale and low!

Ohno how are you feeling today dear? Do you like Ovia? She is currently annoying me muchly!

waves drmum hope you are ok lovely.

My nipples also hurt. I'm not sure whether they normally hurt at this time of the month or not!? Dammit why didn't I log my symptoms accurately in ovia last month!

Eurgh what a horrendous term for it! Did they know what it was all about? Why it happens? I've actually got mild cramping low down too now. Tbh it feels like I'm about to get af - and that wouldn't be unusual for me, my cycles seem to get shorter and shorter and I think I always used to have cramps for a week or so beforehand.

Wonder what's brought the blood pressure up? An early rest sounds like just what you need!

How's everyone else?

"vagina lightening " said someone on another thread. Was feeling that pain too ohno a few days ago. Hope it turns out to be something positive.

Have had severe headaches and have just been to the docs. Turns out my bp is quite high 142/132.taking an early rest.

Ok so despite being entirely relaxed and actually as a mild preference preferring to be pregnant next month, I'm imagining symptoms. Way tmi but I hurt down below, without sounding crude it feels like I've been kicked between the legs near the front rather than an internal kind of soreness. I used to get similar as a teen when I had really horrific periods but only ever had the same kind of tenderness there but only ever on the really heavy days at the beginning. Weird.

Oh what have I missed - are you out this month mimi?? Bugger! I will def be joining you getting pissed, I'm 7/8 dpo (do you guys count from the first day of positive opk or second?) and have zero symptoms!

Eurgh drmum why are all these things so inefficient? It can't be that he'd to arrange a scan date!?

Minty I love your "back in the game"
Comment, did make me laugh!!

Oooh god that sounds awful drmum, blimey. I hate those things! Glad you got your booking in errrr booked in! I know what you mean about not being able to settle but it's all good

Mimi just read your other post on other thread sorry hun, but it just means you can join me in getting suitably pissed on Friday evening ! We'll have a couple for you drmum! And ohno feel free to join us ....

Cd1 all over again ((crap))

Glad you got in touch with the midwives, makes it more real drmum.am excited for you!!!

Morning minty and ohno. Another new day!

Oooo I'm going to google that mimi thank you hun

👏👏 well-done minty,that's the fighting spirit. Good luck hun and I think you should look up baby aspirin or call gp if u are not taking them already.

Hi all, just checking in. mimi those could all still be good signs! It ain't over til AF appears in full force!

drmum I keep reading that! I do like the sound of being uber-fertile Oh poo, bless ya, I hope you are having a better day. Have you managed to make contact with any of the midwives yet to get your scan date? Very weird about the line being dead when you called back

ohno eyes in your backside indeed! Do you think you will be poas early or leaving it til AF is due?

I'm feeling fine again now after the events of last week. If I I have done this right (and pls correct me if I have done it wrong!) count the first day of chemical bleeding as cycle day 1, I am now CD6 and the bleeding/brown spotting has more or less stopped. I'll be getting my opk's out again in week or so.... And she's back in the game!

Hie ladies, my joy is slowly going down the drain.started brown spotting and cramps. Still have nausea and even puked earlier but I think I'm out((was so excited))

minty glad you are feeling better and you are not letting this get you down. Fx hun this month is yours!!!

drmum I feel for you dear. Hope today you are feeling better. Would gladly trade places with you any day 😂

ohno any news today? Did you keep away from those tests?

I did end up getting dressed to go for a drive to try and get my son to sleep. No tests but no sleep either. He's sending me crazy today - actually a bfn this month will be quite welcome, not sure I can cope with two of him right now! He's nearly one and had suddenly this week learned how to pull plugs out of sockets and stick things in the DVD player and all manner of other dangerous things...

It seems like I have already decided that drmum's little bean is already a girl!! !

Ohno I didn't know it can be a sign either, i just assumed it was because i'd slept funny or something. I say I will refrain from poas early now, but as you say, but following through a different matter!! Keep those PJs on.....

Minty glad you're feeling better. Weird about the backache - never knew that was a symptom. It's great that you both feel ready to try again. Haha I admire anyone who can step away from the early tests even though logically I think that's absolutely the right thing to do!!

Mimi feeling sick sounds like an exciting sign!! Will you be testing early?

Drmum do you have any feelings on whether this one is a boy or a girl?

I spot for a few days before af properly starts so I think I'm about cd16 and had positive opks last tue and wed so I'm about 5 dpo. Have just put my pjs on to rid me of the temptation to walk to super drug and get some early tests
