Really hoping I am but am trying not to get too excited at the same time.

Got morning sickness real bad with ds1, but not with ds2.

oh no! bugger! i have bfps on the brain! i meant bfN!

i will test again tomorrow.

I have not got any cramping/aching yet and no backaches so i certainly dont feel yet as though AF is on her way so i am not too dispondent at the bfn yet.

Hi all. Well, my AF is definitely on it's way. I've got period pains fro hell and feel like a raging hormonal monster! Better luck next month eh? Fingers crossed for everyone else xx

Hiya everyone, been lurking on here as well, had a miscarriage in Aug 07, so just trying again for no3 this month. My symptoms with my previous 3 pregnancies were sore boobs (so that when someone hugged me I was almost in tears), and moody. Morning sickness came from week 7 to week 13.
I've added myself to the list.

Well, I did one, a normal Tescos own one, not an early response one or anything, and it's a BFP.

Day 28 is Monday so will do the other on Monday. AF usually comes right on cue so if no AF by Wednesday, will get a Clearblue or a First Response or something.

Well I did one early response one and one normal and both BFN. But have lower back ache and aversion to milky tea. On the other hand I was feeling sick for the last week and I didn;t at all today. On the third hand(?) I have gone to bed early every night this week as I;ve been knackered. Hmmm. Will find out next week I guess though BFNs mean v unlikely

Okay this is me, when I think about it over the last 3 weeks:

Irritable (Am a real beeatch from hell when up the duff)
Teary (Cried at lyrics to ThankYou by that gorgeous black girl in her mid 20's, can't remember her name.)
Sicky feeling. Only a little though and not often.

All very odd for me, though I could of course have an AF with attitude looming or be experiencing a 'Phantom Pregnancy' as DH suggested.

I am now in posession of 2 pregnancy tests, am wondering if i should do one or not? Due on Monday.....

Very sorry to hear the news ladies.

Sorry to hear that Blahmode. Love coming atcha.

Blahmode · 19/01/2008 17:50

AF arrived, feeling quite down about it. Good luck everyone, positive thoughts to you all. x

EllieL · 19/01/2008 09:27

BFN for me this morning using first response. Possible it was too early but have loads of symptons, Guess it's all in my mind.

Sorry to hear about your BFN Eleveld, hang on in there and tomorrow's another (test) day, this is so hard isn't it. Pinkali37 I was in a meeting today and as I was picking a pen off the floor, I had a quick push into my chest to see if it hurt. Madness! I don't even realise I'm doing it now and hope no-one saw me! OnACaffeineHigh lol at crying at end of AI, I cried at ET over Christmas but that was too much brandy, hope your emotions are for a BFP reason!

Pinkali37 · 18/01/2008 13:41

Yep stress delays AF...

LadyOfTheCauliFlowers · 18/01/2008 12:22

Eleveld.

I had that last month.

Stressing about it all can hold AF for a few days which makes it worse ime. x

I think this great - going through it together. It is so heart warming to know i'm not the only nutter.

Blahmode - you made me laugh. 'Boobs sore, but probably from all your prodding'. It's so true, I do the same. I ask my self "quite how sore do they have to be?"

Eleveld · 18/01/2008 08:30

Hi Blahmode

Fingers crossed that you don't get a visit from teh eveil witch tomorrow!

No idea where my AF has gone - it's gone AWOL. I keep having to update the date it's due but then it doesn't arrive. But did a test yesterday and, unfortunately, BFN

Blahmode · 17/01/2008 23:36

Hi.
I've been lurking on this site reading everyones messages and have finally plucked up the courage to input too! Why I need courage I don't know! My AF is due on the 21st too and I've been really hoping I am pg but as I'm feeling so premenstral (normal for me) I feel convinced I'm not, plus I did a test on Wed, 7 day's after BDing which was negative . But hearing that PMS type feelings could be an indicator gives me a tiny bit of hope.....

Also thank you so much Elveld for spelling out the abreviations.

Hi

I caved in and did a test tonight. BFN. Why did I put myself through it?!

Still absolutely no sign of AF but obviosuly just a bit of a delay

Hi BabyBump2B - welcome to the thread

BabyBump2B · 17/01/2008 18:19

Hi All!

I'm going to add myself to the list too even though I did a test this morning and got BFN. I'm so devastated. I have the sore boobs, headaches, exhaustion and yesterday felt nauseous with smells but test doesn't reflect that. must be going mad!
