SYMPTOMS, SYMPTOMS, READ ALL ABOUT IT!!! 2wwaiters chat and cuppas at the ready[grin]

sorry TEW turned up bucky, glad you've got a doc appointment to look forward to though. maybe you'll get a BFP before you get your test results as is the cliche (well, it was my second set of test results when it happened to me).

re: your opk to AF question...I have to admit that I don't fully trust opks as an accurate indication of ovulation. I had at least two positive opks that didn't result in an egg (AF followed 4 weeks later in both cases). 11 days is the shorter end of a luteal phase, so perhaps some of the reflexology sessions has been affecting it and making a bit longer - which is good, more time for the bean to implant.

JB fingers crossed AF stays away during your course (and doesn't return for a year).

DG waves to all the symptom spotters, I'm 8 weeks today (fingers crossed). Not really suffering from MS so much this week (perhaps its the constant eating), but boobs don't take well to being woken up in the middle of the night for loo trips. Spotting easing, but still waiting for a spot-free day.

Morning Ladies !

Bucky so sorry TEW got you , was hoping it'd be your month, grrr... you seem to have bounced back much more quickly this month though which is good . Give the doctor the full story (with some elaboration where you feel it wil help !) and hopefully he'll be on the case getting you/DP all fixed up
Welcome JerryErnie, sorry AF arrived but you are in good company here, you have chosen the best ttc thread, well done .
swaliswan having never had a BFP I can't really help but listen to MTW she speaks wisely. Hopefully there will be other BPFers along to help out and reassure you
JollyBear HCB high temps on CD16 a very, very good sign ! The AF feelings could be ligament stretching pains of the bean ! I don't want to raise your hopes (although mine are sky high for you !) Hope you manage to successfully cringe your way through all the w@anky roleplay cr@p you'll no doubt be asked to do over the next few days ! 'See' you Thu . And dont worry, by Thu I will be 6dpo and will have invented millions of symptoms ! Today I only have 'tired'...so far !!!! It is not even midday - loads of time for me to come up with more

Hey welcome JerryErnie always nice to have a new addition to our clan AND we are cycle buddies. Hurrah, I don't feel so sh*t now. I love having a cycle buddy.

How long are your cycles?

Anyway, hope you won't be on here for long (because you will get that BFP) and feel free to tell us whatever is on your mind.

And just ignore me when I waffle on about rubbish, I tend to do that quite a bit and half of it is usually off topic!

Hello all,

Congrats swaliswan!

bucky I'm so sorry AF has arrived . I hope your visit to the doctor goes ok.

I'm off for a few days now, so I want to hear about some symptoms when I get get back on Friday, especially you HCB mibbes!

My temp is still high BUT yesterday I really felt AF was on her way, no sign yet... knowing my luck it will be in the middle of some cringey teamworking thing tomorrow .

Byeeeeee

Hi everyone, could I join in this thread? I haven't had time to read all of it. I'm 30, married, working full time and TTC baby no:1 (although dh doesn't really won't kids, but that's another story). My AF has come today, feel a bit down about it. Think I'll get drunk at the weekend as I've been off booze just in case!

Bucky TEW bitch!!! You go to that doctors and tell um you want action NOW!!!

swaliswan Me too. I've done lots of tests in the last wk and they do vary a little. I have consoled (SP?) myself with the fact a line is a line and it wouldn't even appear if there was no PG hormone. I would wait a day or two and do one again with FMU I'm sure it will come back strong.

It was exactly the same make and type of test. I wonder if using urine that was passed in the early hours of the morning (after attempting to feed DD) still counts as FMU?

Swaliswan did you use a different type of test? That can make a big difference.

Well TEW arrived this morning. I guess the egg hatched 36 hours after the longest surge in the world . Still, I did BD in good time, so I guess the swimmers hate the eggs or something .

Anyway at least I have my doc appointment and DP said he will go to and have a test if we need to. He is convinced its him, don't know really maybe I am just old now .

Lou thanks for your advice (and Ei, MTW and Fairy) I will do my best. Maybe I will stage a sit in and not move until help arrives (especially if Dr Brownfield is my doctor that day ) Ahhhh dreamy....

Ladies, I really need to talk to someone who will understand. I did another test this morning with DH there so that he could see it in action iyswim. Now I'm really worried though because the line is feinter than it was yesterday even though I used FMU today and hadn't yesterday. I still have clear pg symptoms but now I'm going out of mind worrying that this isn't going to be a sticky one.

Congratulations Swaliswan - that is wonderful news!

A bit more spotting today - sort of watery pink. Feel sure it is AF on her way though; don't know why.

My temp was still high this morning though? Thought it dipped just before AF? Aaagh! ... and so the madness begins!

Am very pleased to be on this thread now and not just a lurker! Feeling very excited about mrs ei's dream coming true for one of you regulars!

Sorry that should say lou2311 - dodgy fingers this morning!

What channel is the new series of Bones on? I heard it was back on the 14th but then I heard it would be delayed due to the writers strike and although it is usually on Sky One, I can't see it in the TV listings.

Bucky - give 'em all you've got and dont come out till they agree to do something!!! xxx

Hi Mrs Ei, how is my CB today? DH took me out to dinner and film last night as early Valentines Day. I think he wanted to cheer me up as well really. He is still making dinner on thurs tho, and its the new series of Bones on sky, so v.happy to stay in and avoid the rush! Its not like there will be any BD'ing on thurs anyway! LOL

Welcome Doghouse, best of luck!

And i agree about docs, I was told having had PCOS for 6 years that I just had to ask for help when I wanted to TTC, so i did, and they said "Oh no, the hosp shouldn't have told you that, you've had treatment for you PCOS so you'll have to wait for a year of TTC before we will investigate!" GRRRRR!!! We really shouldn't have to go through that at the docs, it's hard enough. And Im still having yearly smears as had pre-cancerous cells 5years ago. fed up with docs and hospitals!

I didn't get on here yesterday and it's very hard to catch up apologises if I've missed something vital but I've skim read.

Swaliswan Congratulations Come over to the due Oct thread if you like. Few of us there seem to have symptoms which is strange as we always try to spot them here.

Bucky I think you can be honest with your GP. You may have eased off the trying for a short while after your MC but you still didn't use contreception. I think EI said the same. I'm still hoping she's a no show though.

I'm doing fine but I am an obsessive knicker watcher.

YAY!!!!! Swaliswan I am soooo happy for you, it is great news. I really hope it is a sticky healthy bean!! Lou xxx

Your dd has a lovely name EI, those threads are ridiculous sometimes, naming a baby is such a personal thing.
Congrats Swaliswan, wonderful news
Sorry af arrived for some of you, hopefully she will stay away next month.
Well I am on cd16 today, had positive opk's on Sunday (cd14) and again today (cd16), dh & I finally managed to bd last night and will tomorrow night as well hopefully, fingers crossed Don't feel like I've ovulated yet so hopefully we weren't too late.
Hello to everyone!

Wonder what he will say when I say that I have been trying since September 2006 and am only now coming to the doctor??? . I'll be sure to let you know.

off topic: I have just been read the meanest thread about 'names'..... They are being so nasty to each other!

It seems to me that you have to play up your dates and things, to get attention, not play them down, cos then they will fob you off.
Isn't it awful that you have to play the system at all, why can't they just help. Just because you don't have anything, visably, wrong with you doesn't mean that you ought to be treated with any less respect
I know my doc will defo make me feel like an obsesssed woman if I have to ask for help.
When I spoke to him about my UTI I told him I was TTC and that I was temping and I felt as if I ought to apologise for it.

I think I know what you mean Ei. Its just weird, first time I ttc it only took 3 months. Then the MC. Then I went off the idea for 6 months but never went back on the pill and now its been AGES...I guess I will tell him the truth?
