The 2ww Symptom Spotting continues....

I'm very tired. That's a symptom right?

Someone said to me women in France don't give up pate and brie - maybe if you can speak the language you're immune?

Thanks for the wine, Cycle Buddy Pixie [hic] it's lovely, and only half responsible for the rant on the ttc thread! I hope I can keep you cheered up this cycle and be good company so you don't feel so sad [hug]

Madoldbird I'm proud of you walking past the shop and not buying that test - that's what it's about - stoicism - I love it!

Bucky only just had chance to see that clip - brilliant. There's a link to a sketch about it with her trying to call 911 - be warned though - sick joke alert!!!
Oh, and I've had the wine conversation with my DH too, but he produced evidence that he could - damn the internet! I thought he might like to join me in the abstinence for moral support, but I don't think it's going to happen...

I found out that parmesan cheese isn't pasteurised today. This are disaster at Excitable towers. I LOVE Italian food. I did Italian for my degree, so I speak it, but much more often, I eat it! We go through a block of Parmesan about once every couple of weeks or something. I don't think I can give it up. Smoking and drinking are a different matter, but this?? And I'd be really surprised if Italian women give it up. Maybe I should read some Italian websites on the subject... Might be a while before I get the time. Does anybody know how the advice in this country compares with pregnancy advice in other countries? I know that in America they are proper strict about what you can and can't eat and pregnant women have been screamed at and generally abused in coffee shops for drinkng coffee.

oh poo, lots of BFN's and visiting bitcheswitches!!

I think I will fight my urge, to pee on something, a little harder. You are a tough old lot and I don't want to be slapped

Although, I did have some cramps today. They only lasted a wee while. Can I please convince myself that they are those implantation ones that I hear you talk about? {puppy dog eyes emoticon}

Slaps Pixie but gives her and excitable a hug too

Well you can slap me too because I did a test too this morning, I think I'm 12dpo and of course it was a BFN. Ho hum.

OKAY OKAY i know I'm majorly clutching at straws guess I'm just a bit more dissapointed about AF arriving than I realised. Am becoming very desperate

Can I please count this as a symptom?....

I told you all once that a phsycic told me recently that although times would be hard over the next few weeks that all would be okay by October 16th..... Guess what my appointment for my scan (internal one to check my ovaries) has come through and is for the 16th....

I'm sure that this is just a coinsidence but I'm now really starting to hope that they will find a little bud in there or at least tell me my ovaries are all clear!

Someone slap me!

yes... I'm hoping it won't. I've had no knicker staining and only see blood when I go to the loo. It is red but no clotting yet. I'd be surprised if it isn't AF as I am 14 DPO so would be bang on time but it is looking a little light so far. If it stops or stays light I may well test Saturday anyway although I think I'm just setting myself up for a fall because I have felt very crampy today. I feel ashamed at my craziness.

Someone call the men in white coats!

pixie saw your confession on the other thread...are you waiting to see if AF gets heavier?

well done madoldbird thats the spirit! Sorry for the slaps earlier

dg my head's a bit sore from the slaps, but i have renewed determination not to test till the end of the week!

pixie and excitable sorry to hear AF has turned up, but comforting to know that you're both having normal cycles. pixie you must be so pleased after last cycle's shenanigans.

Am also hoping that if AF does turn up she comes before the weekend so that I can get drunk with my girls at an emotional leaving do and then celebrate my anniversary with DH in style (would like lots of champagne and rare fillet steak).

madoldbird have you recovered from our tough love?!

dg x

Thats progress madoldbird

I am a little relieved that AF is here as I will be able to get very drunk at my best buddies 30th which is soon, although if I had been PG I would have been happy to skip it. Every cloud hey!

gryffingirl thanks for the slap - i needed that! I won't slap you back unless you actually use the test you bought!!!

pixie04 thank you also for the slap!! Sorry to hear AF is here

excitable also for AF arrival

I think i have redeemed myself after earlier behaviour as i have just popped to shops and not bought a test - on the basis that if i don't have one i can't use it. If AF is to arrive i hope it is by saturday, so i know whether i can watch the rugby with a drink (or 5) in hand!!

Met too! Thanks excitable its great to have some to go through it with. I am pleased to be on a normalish cycle though, this last one was 35 days and I have a 14 day LP which I think is good. Am sticking to the positives! I have a lovley bottle of red wine if you would like a glass?

Yeah, but Pixie - we're CYCLE BUDDIES!!!

Expect to be asked about every symptom all month - I'm determined to REALLY enjoy having a cycle buddy!

Well the bit of tiredness, bit of cramping, bit emothional and sore boob is acctually due to AF.

The old lady has arrived at least I didn't waste any HPT's this month, will get on ebay and order some more OPKS.

Am having a red wine dinner tonight I think. Guess I missed the boat as I thought.

cross posted excitable so sorry about BFN, has AF acctually arrived then?

hehehehe

GG DONT TEST UNTIL FRIDAY!

madoldbird Your not stupid I have used that logic before but yes you are probably testing too early.

Now my turn someone slap me! I did an OPK last night but I had drank lots of water and me wee wasn't even yellow and funnily enough I got a BFN.

I'm now 14 DPO and officially on knicker watch. I had a very slight brown tinge to my CM last night but not this morning and I feel crampy so either AF will arrive today or as of tomorrow my AF will acctually be late. So fingers crossed. No symptoms at all really.... a bit tired, bit of a sore boob, a bit emotional and a bit crampy all could be AF, PG or nothing who knows.

Hey does anyone out there have a cyrstal ball out there?........

Digitalgirl Your symptoms sound really really good. I really hope you get that BFP.

Bucky I'd be mad at DP/DH too, men are horrible aren't they. I have to tell you a funny story in the hope that you'll laugh and not think that my relationship is way past its sell by date....

DP tried it on with me the other night he wanted to do some BD'ing but I was tired and know that I ovulated quiet a few days ago at that point. So I told him to put it in a cup and I'd use it later thank you. hehehehe it made me laugh. No we didn't BD I was tired. My poor DP he must feel so used

Sorry girls BFN.

Right that's it!! I'm going home at lunchtime and I'm having soft cheese for my lunch, maybe I can chase AF out with brie and stilton!

madoldbird - if I slap you, you have to promise to slap me back, because I bought a test this morning. Friday is CD28 for me and usually I am like ClairePO and regular as clockwork. Now I need to be ordered NOT to test until at least Friday.

Morning everyone

DG, sounds promising! I'm glad that someone else is still playing cervical pursuits - i'm more than a passing acquaintance with mine now, although the novelty will probably wear off sooner or later!

Well, feeling a bit fed-up, although it's my own stupid fault. Did a test this morning, which of course was a BFN. I'm only about 11DPO, i think, so too early i suppose. However, the really stupid thing was i then did a second test when i had my second wee of the morning, as it was a different make to the first one, so i thought - different test... different result...!!

Can someone please give me a slap for being so stupid??!!

OOh how excitingDG you must be getting excited?
When are you testing? Saturday?
Can't wait{grin]

Where is that excitable with her news??
I so hope she gets her BFP.
