Symptom Spotters Anonymous (egg spotting or implantation spotting let's have your symptoms)

Hi there cycle buddy. I checked out the thermometers in Boots today but couldn't tell if they go to two decimal places and am also not sure if to just let nature take its course this month. Although DP has already informed me he wishes to see the again this month [shock}!!!

nice to see you back and also your cheery self again

thanx DG what a lovely thing to say you can say stuff like that cos you cant see my greasy hair and fat bottom only joking i do wash my hair
xx ei xx

Bucky I'm glad you're back.

OK, so I couldn't hide any longer... Mibbes...maybe it was faulty??? Send DH out to Sainsburys?

I was going to try and cut down on MN and chill out a bit but I barely lasted a day and I was out of the office on site too so couldn't surf.

Thank you all for being so sweet AGAIN . It is like a train you can't get off! I don't really think i can stop trying, like MOB I am practically an expert on my cycle now and actually feel ovulation sometimes so not BDing would be difficult. But still, am not looking forward to this month. I might look up reflexology so I have something nice to look forward to.

LOL at MrsEi fortune telling skills and crystal (sp?) ball in bed. I am still very impressed though, the DG dream will go down in MN history.

SarahNH thanks for the words of support, whilst it was rubbish that you had to wait 11 months it does give me some hope!

On a lighter note, I can no longer cry in my house as the Finn dog has taken to jumping up on me so he can lick off the tears. I think he likes them cos there salty! So I end up in hysterical laughter because he attacks me...

Hi DG & digibean, hope you had a good day today.

i would retest hun x if nowt came onto the control window it is prob faulty or you didnt provide a big enough specimen iyswim < {sad] sorry for causing all this excitement i feel so guilty> i hope the next one is a nice BFP for you xx

Oh Mibbes Poo. But surely it is faulty if nothing came up in the control window???? Try again, and keep us posted when you feel able. Avoid peeing on the windows though! (It only stains the blinds)

On a lighter note as I was reading the FAQs on Clearblue website I pmsl through the tears at one of the questions:
"What if I splash the windows with urine?"
I actually thought that meant the bathroom windows and was shocked that anyone would pee so carelessly !!

Ooh Mibbes I'm so sorry

Your DH could be right though if nothing came up in the control line as that could mean a faulty test? I will still keep my fingers crossed for you.

BFN - asbolutely gutted . Used a CB (non-digital) but nothing came up in the control window so dp has perusaded me to buy a CB digital to retest, not sure I can bear it in writing though

Mibbes ????? I do hope it's good news. x

Mibbes Good luck with the testing I will keep my fingers crossed for a BFP.

haha JB i was drunk-luckily so i obviously felt no shame!! i also fell over in the selfsame pants later that night and covered them in grey water so they are definitely not my lucky pants they have an almost permanant home in the bottom of my wardrobe!!

No laughing now but I did choose a nice pair of nice white knickers this morning as that is usually enough to get AF to make an appearance MrsE125

I was going to ask what an earth you did on your night out but perhaps we don't want to hear the end of that anecdote!!

Good luck mibbes!

Oooh! mibbes am excited!!!! Hope it goes well, and you get a BFP.

ooooo good luck mibbes hope you get the result you want xx you deserve a nice big BFP!!! big {{{{{{hugs}}}}} to you hun xxx

Ok Ladies - the dream is just too much for me I need to know. After my steely resolve I can't take it any longer. Have told dp am testing tonight and he is ok with it...
I have promised that if BFN I'll meet him at the donor place and give blood...I will let you know as soon as I know ... should be posting at 6ish - yikes !

o yeah i forgot i said that MTW it must have been that that was diggin in my side all night and i was blaming DH and his big...elbow

xx ei xx

MrsEi You said you were going to bed with the crystal ball, wow if mibbes gets a BFP it really will be spooky

MOB Good luck with the timmed BD'ing. I know what you mean about getting the timings spot on and then getting a BFN. We BD'd 7 out of 8 crucial days last month so I was sure I'd go it right. Hope yours works for you hun.

JB maybe they are planning a surprise visit for us both!! wear your best white pants and leave the house armed with only a lipgloss (no sanitary items allowed) and she will soon join in the party!! i dont joke this has happened to me!!
xx ei xx

no but my friends family was from dundee im all the way down here in rainy liverpool so no chance i might bump into you in a random restaraunt to discuss the finer points of MN

MOB You've put into words very well how TTC feels. I've not even been TTC for very long (heading into 4th cycle now) and feel a bit of a fraud expressing any level of misery or annoyance with the process because it feels insensitive to those who've been here for a while, but it is hard because it isn't like I can really DO anything to make it happen except BDing! It isn't like working towards an exam IYSWIM Anyway sounds like you are hatchng an egg there MOB - Hope your off on maternity leave soon

Oh and my parcel contains a thermometer, OPKs and some cheapies!

MrsE125 Maybe our AFs have gone off together somewhere? We need those girls back!!

OOOhhh MrsEi25 I feel so priveleged to have almost featured in a dream . You seem to have special powers so you have just added fuel to my already hopeful fire... Did you go to school in Scotland ? If not then the dream is slightly flawed, but apart from that let's hope it is accurate (apart from the bit where you're not pregnant - we'll just scrub that bit)

funnily enough though none of my dreams include me gettin a BFP!! so maybe my brain is tryin to tell me somethin not to worry there has got to be a last place in every race and that is usually me so i will back you all up if im here at the end of the thread...
