Flip, bloody fertility friend has changed its mind and decided that I ovulate 2 days later than it previously thought (so am now only on 6DPO and not 8DPO anymore). It has also downgraded my chances this cycle from "high" to "good" (AKA forgetaboutit).
Am v cross, as I thought this might be the one.

I have got sore nips and cramps, am starving and am being absolutely foul to DH. My temp went up again this morning and I can only manage one solitary glass of wine. Now if those aren't PG symptoms, what the 'eck are???

Mrs Ei - Dream about me tonight, please. There's a dear.

Right, I have spoken to DG and have banned her from leaving the thread . Besides, what would we all do without the ttc guru . So I have laid down the law . Congratulations DG biggest hugs in the world to you. Mrs Ei your fortune telling skills obviously rock .

Me, well, I have a confession...I tested. It was yesterday at lunchtime with the v. cheapy Ebay test (bits of paper you dip in to pee) but was a v. definite BFN. So I am pretty sure I am out this month. Do have cramps though and felt sick ALL day today, but its more likely to be the Norovirus than a baby in my case! Who's next then???? How exciting....

JollyBear · 13/01/2008 15:53

Wowsers!!! DG many, many congratulations cycle buddy. I could not be more happy for you.

Do stay around! We all need your TTC expertise!!!!!!

coolkat · 13/01/2008 14:20

DG that is brilliant news. So deserved. X

Been following from a distance so could not not post.

Hope your all well, stll waiting AF here.... want her so can start again!!

'See' you all soon I hope.

OMG DG I am soo pleased for you - like I said the other day you really deserve this with your nasty long cycles ! Hurray Glad you are sticking arund for a bit - you'll have to do a handover of the ttc knowledge so that we can cope without you ! You have given me loads of invaulabe advice and info - thanks !

I know that I am also a relative newbie (only on these threads since Nov and been lurking since Oct) but I agree that the waiting room (which was my fave thread) has got a bit crowded and even rowdy ! Still posting on both though and definitely don't think you should take it to heart Twinkling, I'm sure they're a nice bunch, just a little over-excited

Anyway there are still 5 more dream-BFPs to go so have fingers croseed one is me - am heading into "late" territory as CD35 and usually have 32-35 day cycles. Mild cramps but no spotting or signs of af atall. Told dp last night that was late and he said we should wait 3 or 4 days then test. Trouble is I am going to give blood on Tue so really need to know by then... Actually starting to get nervous as I know if I pee on that stick and a line appears my life will be turned upside down andwon't be able to think of anything else...

PicknMix · 13/01/2008 13:22

DG I'm sending this from mobile as couldn't wait til i get home to say CONGRATULATIONS!! I actually had a little tear in my eye when i read your post - you've wanted this for ages and you really deserve it. I feel like we've been in this together since the beginning so am so pleased to see a 'founder member' get a bfp!!

hattyyellow · 13/01/2008 13:14

DG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Arrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I'm so so so so happy for you !!!!

Yippeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!! You really deserve this BFP, enjoy it

I didn't get any morning sickness for a while and I had a very healthy twin pregnancy so I don't think everyone gets it or gets it straight away

xxxxxx

ScaryHairy · 13/01/2008 12:01

Oh my God!
Am so pleased for you DG - you see I told you those cramps could be a little baby!

Yay!

thanks ladies!!! I can't believe it myself. You are the only ones apart from DH to know. I won't be telling any of my best RL friends this week. This year has started off great! Lets hope it stays that way. Being on MN has taught me not to take anything for granted.

So....~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~BABYDUST to you all~~~~~~~~~~~~

MrsEI MrsEi you're dream was right!!!!!

I got a BFP and on CD10 too...how ridiculous is that?

Terrified, excited and trying to remain pragmatic about this all, after all I'm not even due AF yet so it could still come.

So...symptoms were mild AF cramps and tender boobs starting at about 6dpo, got increasingly more intense every day. Constipation the last couple of days. Feeling a bit sick after eating a pizza last night, but wondering if that's because it was quite late and I'd had a glass of wine

I've been drinking the odd glass of wine all through this 2ww, first it was DH's birthday, then I met up with some friends during the week, then yesterday the cramps were quite bad so I thought I'd have a glass to distract me.

Hope you don't mind, but I'm going to hand around for a bit. I feel like this is my home on MN and it's far too early to migrate to the ante-natal threads...especially as some of them are quite a few weeks in and are all suffering MS. I've just wolfed down a massive breakfast of pancakes, eggs and bacon

07mumstheword · 13/01/2008 11:09

twinkling & Shrek I think the others are right because I've lost track of the waiting room. There are so many newbies and us old veterans are a bit out of it. I tend to use this thread as we are all so familiar.
Will be thinking of you tomorrow.

DG Thanks for that great advice I think just recording my temps for one month and then (if no BFP!) at the end of my cycle work out what it all means.

Bucky I still haven't managed to get to Boots for my thermometer! I will try today. I think I'm going to do what DG suggested and just record my temps this month so I don't go confusing myself too soon.

I'm CD29 today and still no AF. BFN again on Friday (silly silly me held onto hope that Tues test was just too early will I ever learn? ) so I know she's coming.

ScaryHairy · 13/01/2008 08:11

Forgot to wave back at Bucky

ScaryHairy · 13/01/2008 08:09

twinkling - don't take it personally. I'm sure noone means to upset you, but there are lots of people on that thread and it can be a bit hard to follow.

shreksmissus, sorry to hear you are feeling cross, but I'm not suprised those pictures made you laugh. I stumbled across them a while ago too and they made me snort my orange juice.

DG - I still have my fingers crossed for you. When I conceived DD I was totally convinced AF was coming as the cramps were so bad, even worse than normal.

8 DPO here and temp has gone up a bit more. Trying very hard not to get my hopes up...

sore boobies fairy do you normally get those before AF or is that a symptom? Please don't take yourself off the list...how will I be able to check up on where you are in your cycle?

shreksmissus Like bucky said, I think it's just there are a lot of newbies in the waiting room who are really excited to join the ttc threads and don't realise that some of us have been here a few months longer and deserve and bit more respect!

Hi there Fairy. Whilst I don't think you are being unreasonable, because i rarely post there now and when I do I too feel invisible, I do think you shouldn't take it personally. Like I said, they ignore me too. There are lots of new people over there, and I guess they don't know how fabulous we are . What are you up to tonight?

twinklingfairy · 12/01/2008 22:17

Ooh, just had to add, my (.)(.)'s are a little sore tonight
