oh that must be frustrating coolcat I hope you find out one way or the other soon. x

coolkat · 15/02/2008 12:29

Well 30 days since day 1 today. Not sure how long to wait and not sure how long cycles are. Sorry for being Vague, I got pregnant in November and did not really count my cycle when I came off of the pill as I was quite chilled about it and then M/C, had one AF following MC and that took 7 weeks so its anyones guess at the minute. Sorry for the ramble.

Oufton · 15/02/2008 12:24

oooh Coolkat that definitely sounds like a lot of the symptoms on 2ww.com, lots of people describe tugging and pulling, I have very high hopes for you - when are you actually due for AF?

Mibbes good luck with any weekend testing. x

Oufton · 15/02/2008 12:22

Thanks NOAM it's not actually strong-willed I just don't have any in and am going nowhere near shops that sell them until then - if I had 3 cb tests in the house I'd be doing one right now so I'm not that good! I've just been reading 2ww.com to try and help me make up more symptoms but sadly just got too depressed at the number of stories that started "this was our first cycle and I'm pregnant!", humpf. It's making me very grumpy (ooohh is that a symptom perhaps ?)

coolkat · 15/02/2008 12:22

Morning, Well AF not here yet. Today I have got pains in my left side, they are like internal, tugging, poking and pulling. I am convinced its AF starting her journey I am also very tired and have a head ache. Had to take DD to the dentist today (3rd attempt)and it was so hot in there felt sick however DD was a star and finally let him in her mouth!!

Oufton I am with you on waiting til AF due as if it was BFN it is horrible and there still could be a chance IYSWIM, having said that I put myself through it every month but I am going to try not to test early ever again Nah test whenever!!!

Mibbles looking good, when are you due? when are you testing. Good luck. X

Hello Tapster, I do not think that we have met. Good luck with testing.

Ei can we add headache to the list, my head is banging today and I had a really horrible dream last night that we were at a family gathering and my uncle was being attacked by a dog and then more dogs arrived and we were fighting them off. Horrible dream most strange.

Hi to anyone I have missed. X

Hi Jollybear, I'm enjoying your positive attitude, could you throw a little my way please?

Oufton · 15/02/2008 12:03

Hi Tapster and welcome to the thread. All sounds very good for you symptom-wise, not sure what to advise on the testing, I'm due next Wednesday and am resolutely not buying a test until I'm a day late.

JollyBear · 15/02/2008 12:02

Morning all,

Welcome tapster good luck with the test.

mibbes Great to hear temps are high Long may it continue!

DG It's lovely to hear from you. So glad things are still well with you and digibean.

ei I loved your bus story!!

SH Hope you feel better today.

MOB great to see you back! I missed you!

NOAM hope you have more symptoms today.

hattyyellow bucky GG a big hello to you all.

CD 2 today and my scan is in less than 2 weeks so hopefully I should still be able to ttc this cycle, if I get the all clear of course. I'm just going to think positive

Tapster · 15/02/2008 11:49

Hi ttc no.2 my first month. Long list of symptoms and half scared of testing this weekend, should wait until Sunday but shall I buy another pregnancy test and try on Saturday too? Definitely got heighten sense of smell, I will test it soon as need to go into the fish shop this afternoon. In my first pregnancy I had to sprint past the fish shop as it made me heave . My biggest symptom is not wanting alcohol each evening, I normally want a glass of wine or a g&t after running round after my DD (15 months) all day.

oufton thats the spirit

Oufton · 15/02/2008 11:27

Morning ei thanks for the advice, I shall wander past the men's loos shortly, they usually smell pretty bad!

Anyone testing this weekend?

EiWishFor3MoreWishes · 15/02/2008 11:08

morning all
digi&bean how are you?? hope all is well with you and the LO i have odd dreams every so often DG so i usually tell everyone on here esp if it has someone in it from here or the waiting room dont know if im psychic though...
oufton sorry yopu are feeling a bit down today get yourself to the nearest bin/babys nappy and take a big whiff, if it smell super strong and possibly makes you feel a bit nauseated then it is a symptom so we decided last night
hi to everyone else

wow this thread is moving quickly this week!

Scary I stayed at La Palmeraie on the east coast, it was amazing and the food was excellent. We booked it through To Escape To, and I think it was cheaper than the price on Virgin for the same hotel. The island's pretty small so you can travel round it fairly easily. The East coast is protected by a natural reef so the sea is really safe to swim in. And NO mozzies in the resort!! Which was heaven for me as I always get eaten alive.

mrsei you still having your pyschic dreams?

bucky your doc sounds like he knows what he's talking about, such a rare treat for a GP and ttc. You're in good hands!

hattyyellow re your short cycle: is your AF 'normal' or is it slightly different? If it's business as usual it might be that you've had a freaky short cycle (not sure what could have caused that). If it's lighter than normal it might be an anovulatory bleed where you've not ov'ed - happens once a year for most women OR could it be an implantation bleed?!

Good luck egg-spotters and 2ww'ers!

Oufton · 15/02/2008 09:26

Morning all, I am in a miserable mood today, I've talked myself into pregnancy symptoms all week and have now decided I'm not. Obviously this is based on no factual evidence at a ll, I just don't feel it. Bah.

mibbes · 15/02/2008 08:59

never welcome to the thread and PMSL at your "encouraged" symptoms, I feel exactly the same way as you and Ei ! Was prodding boobs last night to no avail and also read that 2ww site convincing myself I was having relevant twinges ! Oh dear it messes with your head doesn't it. The bursting out crying one is good - unless you are generally an emotional type !
I had a jump in temp today which I am obviously taking as a sign - highest post-ov temp this cycle has been 36.74 and today it was 36.90. The trouble is I got up to go to the loo at 4am then alarm went off at 7am so barely had the required 3 hours of restful sleep prior to taking temp so not sure that perhaps this has caused the rise... why is this never simple ? Anyway if I get some more high temps will maybe allow myself to be hopeful. Also while I'm on the symptom topic, I felt a bit sick and very tired last night - maybe due to the fish supper though ! aarrgghhh this is excruciating....

07mumstheword · 15/02/2008 08:57

pmsl at Ei & NOAM symptoms spotting Remember no symptoms can be symptoms too

Bucky I'm really pleased your doctor was so good. As someone else has said that just by "doing" something might make your BFP arrive, I do hope so.

EiWishFor3MoreWishes · 14/02/2008 23:42

night NOAM like an hour later
