The 2ww Symptom Spotting continues....

hello CD16 here DP refused to have sex with me tonight and has gone off to bed negative on opks this morning so the damage has or hasn't been done so to speak, AF due 31st so 2ww hell for me then, I will have to make up some symptoms as I don't get any when pregnant anyway.

Re: bleeding gums, definite in pregnancy mine have always bled when pregnant and brushing my teeth makes me gag too.

DG - so sorry about the GPs appt I was thinking about you today when I couldn't get to the pc to see what was happening

need to kmow the details of grand canyon.

will post tomorrow properly as I am on blackberry

OMG Bucky!!! Sickness and sore (.)(.)'s you nee dto test. Have everything crossed.

Sorry that docs appointment was so useless DG

So, plans for this lovely autumn weekend ladies? And no, I don't mean plans for weeing on sticks/in cupped hands I mean what nice non getting pregnant things are you all up to!

OMG bucky vomming is a proper symptom! all the ladies on the ante-natal threads talk about the 'gag' relex they get before MS. AND you've got sore/bigger boobs in the 2nd week of the 2ww...it's looking good for you.

gg come, come!

gg that sounds amazing! i love road trips. we once drove through the rockies in canada, from Jasper to Banff. The most amazing scenery. too.

mtw i know , I'm not that upset about it tbh (even though I ranted earlier). wasn't expecting any major revelations, but glad i went and glad dh was there to witness it.

Got AF-cramps, but completely normal boobs. Looks like she's on her way!

DG Sorry your GP wasn't too helpful. At least she is refering you for some tests and you've made one step forward. Let's hope you don't need to by then?

GG Very of your hols sounds fantastic. Me & DH did trip to Vegas and had such fun. We didn't get married there though although many people thought we would as I was PG at the time!

cheers DG - I cannot wait. Really, I am so tired and in need a break and have so much holiday left to use up. Anyone who knows me in RL will guess me now, but we're doing a road trip through Arizona and New Mexico. Sort of like Thelma & Louise, but without the headscarves and, very sadly, without Brad Pitt . We've even got a soft top car sorted out and I wasn't brave enough for the Harley .

DH wants to finish up in Vegas. He's got this mad idea of renewing our wedding vows: him dressed in a Hawaiian shirt and me in jeans and a veil, officiated by Elvis singing "Love me Tender" . I think this is less about him re-declaring his love for me and more about having a comedy story to tell his mates!

wow gg a 3 week holiday sounds amazing. would love to go away for that long. even two weeks would do me. going anywhere nice?

DG - sorry to hear about the rubbish GP visit . My sister is a GP, so I have told her to keep an eye on these threads, so she can understand the psycology of wimmin like us and be super sympathetic and clued up - she says she will . I'll email Bucky and we can arrange the meet up! Is there anyone else in London or the SE? Is anniemac local? My email address has my name in it, so like you I can't post it here! A meet up would be great . I'm off on holiday for three weeks (yippee! - [very excited emoticon]) on 26th October and not back until 13th November. It will be the first proper holidy that DH and I have had for nearly two years, so we are really in need of the break.

I didn't know that bleeding gums was a pregnancy symptom - I love this place, you learn something everyday!

So my GP appt this morning was about as helpful as a dog in a porkpie hat. Told her about my ever-lengthening cycles and how i didn't think i was ovulating. she said if the opk said i was then i probably was . I asked about hormones, pcos, what else could be delaying my cycles. she didn't know anything, just referred me for a day19 blood test.

brilliant, i now have to wait for AF to turn up, then wait 19-21 days, then go and sit in the walk-in blood test clinic for god knows how long, then wait another two weeks for the results.

I suppose there's no rush . BFN this morning, not that I was surprised. have bought some more cb digitals. will wait till next weekend if no AF.

gg be lovely to have you along. email bucky as she has my email address.

Hmmm, no, they're not sore at all, just a shock when you spit out a mouthful of blood!

Sorry, meant to use the thread to ask whether it could be a symptom, not to start a discussion on gum health, but will take all advice very gladly!

Thanks!

Penny my mum's a dental nurse and she says that it sounds really odd but when your gums bleed, you need to brush them more.

Brush them as much as you can and use mouthwash and you should be fine. Are they painful when you're not brushing them?

Morning all, just popping in from the October thread to ask a quick question - could bleeding gums be a symptom?

Am now about 5 days dpo, and brushed my teeth this morning to find lots of blood when I spat! (Sorry for TMI)

If it's not a symptom, guess I'd better go to the dentist!

I'm here, I'm here! I have been stuck at work and with nothing much to report here. CD 9 today, so gearing up for next week and getting DH in stamina training . I have decided to change my name for Hallow'een - whaddaya think?

IHurrah for a meet up RL lunch. I am in Central London - I work in the City and live near Paddington, so very handy for getting about. I have just skimmed the thread, where and when?! ...maybe we should have it before the 2WW so we will be allowed wine

07MTW sorry about your chemical pregnancies, this ttc business is so hard sometimes.

DG unfortunatley I do work full time and generally between 8am - 7pm Monday to Saturday. I do love my job but get very little time off which is a shame. You and Bucky have fun at your meet up though x So how did the doc's go?

DG I use an IKEA plastic childs up! They come in packs of about 10 so DD wont miss one? It's in the bathroom cupboard with tests when I open the cupboard door loads of HPT's fall out I hope you get on ok at the doctors today, look forward to hearing about it.

of your meet up. I'm in Bristol so no chance for me.

Went to Doctors yesterday and as I expected she said my two Chemical Pregnancies are just incredibly bad luck. She said that if I have another one they will do some simple blood tests to check everything is ok.

As for testing early (I have been testing on day AF is due so technically not early) she said that is down to my mental state. Didn't want to tell her I'm a completely obsessed loon so said well I seem to be coping quite well! It's best to test as if I get a third mc then they'll do tests but not best to test if it devestates me. Catch 22 then! I'm going to keep testing because AF is devestgation enough and I'd rather know if there is a problem.

Anyway I just need to be positive. I'm CD 19 and it seems like an age before I can test and my (.)(.) seem to have gone back to normal. I had funny cramps yesterday and thought AF maybe coming early and TMI alert I felt very wet down below but each time I looked at the tissue - nothing. Only time will tell!

Hope your all ok. x

excitable lol cup of pee! sorry you had a rubbish day at work, your DH sounds like a diamond. my dh is currently cooking me fish pie

I used to work in a nearly all female team, was a bloody nightmare sometimes. Too many eating disorders in one room

Maybe you could take it in your cupped hands DG Sorry, that's disgusting. slaps own hands.

Am of your meet-up. I am in Lancaster and have no chance of taking leave in the week until December. Stupid job.
You can print out one of the photos from my profile and make up excitable things that I might say, though - you have my permission!

Had a shit day at work today, but DH is doing a sterling job of reminding me why I married him. He's done the washing up and he's just poured me a glass of wine, so I'm off to drink it. Now he's spoiling it a little by deliberately dancing like Ian Brown... but only a little....

didn't make it to boots in time so may try holding it! Still no symptoms and no AF so I already feel very justified in going to docs on CD42. Looking down my top, bra looks unimpressively baggy so no change there am jealous of those with sore (.)(.)s

bucky lunch sounds fabulous. My weekdays off are flexible (unless I've got a meeting in) so let me know when's good for you. have you got an email address i can contact you on? I would post mine but it has my name in it and what with recent job offers etc don't want to risk it.
Hope the insurance lot cough up soon so you can get back to normal.

pixie do you work full-time or can you get the train into londinium during the week?
