Hey girls as we are about to get thrown out of our thread I have started a new one so we can continue manically looking for EWCM, sore (.)(.)s and orange feet whilst chanting 'in with love, out with BFNs'.

Come on over/in

I didn't mean literally that the EWCM is the egg, but rather than it signified the egg...so many mistakes so little time...oh dear.

shreksmissus I think it's sounding very positive for you. you're lucky enough to remember symptoms from the first time round...and they're all very similar.

excitable how's the tiredness? I've been tired all day, but that's probably more to do with visiting PILs. DH had to tell lesbian SIL that we're ttc so she and her bride-to-be wouldn't chain smoke while we went to visit. Thankfully they were considerate enough to pretend he'd not had that conversation and didn't ask me if I felt 'up the duff.'

Other than the increased cm, ocassional boob twinge and ov-like twinge...I've had no symptoms today

Hope everyone else is having a good weekend

Pixie forgot to say I've been reading about the poor women being treated badly by their DPs/DHs (although not very darling in this case). I cried when I read some of it the other day. Wrong in so many ways, my heart just goes out to them.

Want to add my support, but can only repeat what other people have said and they have so much more experience of difficult pregnancy situations that it's better coming from them.

I want to shoot their partners in the face with a bazooka. And that's my considered opinion. I've really thought about that.

Excitable · 06/10/2007 10:39

In my defense (serious-grown-up voice now) I'm usually quite tired at the end of the day from all the entertainingly bouncing off the walls but not usually ALL THROUGH the day.

Woke up feeling sick again this morning, but felt better after breakfast.

Still acutely aware that this proves nothing and that I shouldn't even have any symptoms yet. But also aware that there is no shouldn't...

In conclusion, I'm going to join shreksmissus in the desperately hopeful corner. Oooo, it's a squash in this corner, there's so many of us! Not all of us are even posting, there are women from all over the world. All desperately hoping for themselves and for each other. It's a bit like Greenham Common, people have flasks of tea and are singing "we shall overcome" a lot. Feel quite appeased in a we are not alone kind of way...

Excitable is philosophical this morning... Real world that doesn't care if we're pregnant or not - pah!

fairysnuff · 05/10/2007 23:28

shreksmissus don't they say that the wee guys normally live for 3 days or so??
So could tummy cramps be option 2?

As for the others, I just don't know.
Just what were you doing in the garden

What a lovely DD you have, imagine deciding to wait up for daddy, what a lovely thought

I know, not to get excitable too excited but those do look like good signs. Mind you, tirdness could be something to do with bouncy off these walls keeping us all entertained!!

ClairePO · 05/10/2007 23:09

eek I did mean excitable, I read upwards, got to the last post and then posted without reviewing my bad

I'm OK I'm veering between being convinced I'm pg as I have had tummy pains am convinced are implantation (think I'm 8dpo)and thinking its just wind because I read a link where it said you don't ovulate until after your first period after m/c

How are you?

Bucky2007 · 05/10/2007 22:38

Thanks SM & ClairePO, but me? Don't you mean Excitable? I'm just hanging out here on CD11 apart from the EWCM I haven't had any symptoms . Thanks anyway and I need all the finger crossing I can get . How are you today ClairePO

Does sound good for DG and Bucky fingers crossed!

Sounds promising, thanks bucky.

I hate the spectulum whatchamacallit thingy they put lub on. Vibrator with a condom on sounds a little better and after so many smears and cevical treatments I'm pretty used to being in akward situations with doctors

I may take my sister rather than DP though, he's rubbish in akward situations even if it would be good practice for him.. being in akward medical situations to do with my lady bits I mean .

Who knows they may find a little something in there.

Bucky2007 · 05/10/2007 19:48

Pixie internal scan is not as bad as a smear because its not a metal clamp being racheted open its just like a vibrator with a condom on that doesn't vibrate. Its not pleasant because of the environment and social situation though obviously.

pixie04 · 05/10/2007 19:47

I'm hoping it will, fingers crossed for us. I'm leaving it until next week because I want to be really sure and I'm running outta HPT's I figure AF should arrive at 14DPO which will be Wednesday so if I leave to Saturday then it'll need to be a BFP. Of course there is always the chance my body has been lying and I haven't OV'd yet.

I've been looking at the pregnancy threads and its scared me a little. There one about uniterested DP/DH's and its got me a little worried. Those poor women being pregnant and their DP's being arseholes and not being interested in their PG's even if planned. How nasty.

They do still do the loop wire treatment but the last time they did electrolsis on me under a gerneral. Damn "abnormal" cells

digitalgirl · 05/10/2007 19:22

pixie I think i ov'd last saturday, so it would be about the right time. Haven't had any more brown CM today and no further signs of AF, so fingers crossed.
That loop wire treatment sounds painful, I hope they've worked out a more sophisticated laser-thing now.
I'm going to do my very best to sit and wait till next sat to test too (I'll be 14dpo). Although I think you'll be well overdue if you're already 9dpo...that BFP will pop out before you've finished your wee!

pixie04 · 05/10/2007 16:57

your symptoms sound good so its looking promising

Excitable · 05/10/2007 16:56

Not for 5 days!! Gonna be a long 5 days, I think!

pixie04 · 05/10/2007 16:52

Excitable I think 6 wee's befor lunchtime is quiet a few... when if AF due?

pixie04 · 05/10/2007 16:51

Hello!

Digitalgirl He slapped your bum! I would have kicked him! How inapproriate. your brownish cm sounds like implantation to me didn't you OV a few days ago?

Excitable had to LOL at your mum and her GP, sounds like a man trying to make light of things to me.

I remember I was having a loop wire treatment once (had treatment a couple of times) for "abnormal" cervical cells. Anyway doc was down there and I was in stirups and he ran an electrical volt through the thingy to heat it and it jolted my leg and he was in the middle of taking the slice and the whole thing bloody hurt! so i started crying (i was still only in my late teens back then) and do you know what he said ... " Its not that bad" I though your kidding me surley, no? well let me remove 5mm off the end of your penis with an electronically heated wire and see if its that bad!

I'm due to go in for one of those internal scans for an ovary check soon, as some of you have had them is it really that bad? Anything I should be aware of? I normally find smears painful....

Well I'm now 9 DPO I don't have any symptoms except cramping a couple of days ago, no suspisious implantation spotting so I'm waiting for that or AF if nothing by next Saturday am going to test.

Cervial persuit lol I love it I'm going to start soon after this next AF... if she comes...

Excitable · 05/10/2007 14:40

GG hope you're not minus a cervix - you're going to need that! Doesn't it means something good if it's high. I think I read something about you may not be able to reach it, so don't worry. Tww is pants, I agree.

DG oooh, I hope you've finished your brief before you nod off.

I'm still sleepy and also can't stop weeing. TMI warning - is six wees before lunchtime excessive? Even I did have an extra cup of tea this morning, I still think that's a lot!

GryffinGirl · 05/10/2007 14:25

hello all - stayed away for a few days as absolutely nothing to report. CD21, so I am weeeell into the 2ww. Sore boobs, cramping and that's it. i HATE the 2ww. And i feel horribly guilty because I was as a client function last night and drank too much.

Now, Cervical Pursuits - I had a go last night at trying to find it and so far no luck . I am either minus a cervix, not looking in the right place or don't have long enough fingers

digitalgirl · 05/10/2007 14:18

I'm tired too. Have taken laptop onto sofa so I might have a little doze...

Excitable · 05/10/2007 13:27

Oh no! Happy Friday PicknMix

PicknMix · 05/10/2007 13:24

I'm with you on the snooze fest Excitable - I just fell asleep on my lunchbreak for the very same reason ('oooo, I wonder what would happen if I shut my eyes for just a second, just to give them a little rest' cue 20 mins later 'bugger, should've been back at work 10 mins ago.....' )
