Good luck tegan - a lot of us seem to be in the same boat.

tegan · 18/03/2008 13:20

I haven't read the whole thread as i am in a bit of a hurry but i am due AF today and as yet nothing.

beaniesteve · 18/03/2008 13:17

Maybe it's because I took an iron tablet this morning?

beaniesteve · 18/03/2008 13:10

I'm 2 days away from my period, am getting a lot of wet sensation and I think I usually do before my period. Hrrmmph. I just want to know but I don't want to do a test.

chilledmama · 18/03/2008 12:48

Just been out and bought the CB digital ones. Now I have to make myself wait till tomorrow morning!!!!!! I keep thinking I'm going to go to the loo and there will be AF looking back at me!!![grr]

beaniesteve · 18/03/2008 12:07

Lol - are we all going to get our periods. Need a dump - NOW!!!

BRB!

tinkerbell2 · 18/03/2008 12:05

hi ladies i am feeling anger rising in me now and am knackered

ShakeysGirl · 18/03/2008 11:15

I feel so sick but unfortunately its more of a sick-bug type sick that started last night. Did the 2nd of my cheapo tests this morning bfn. Feel to ill to care at the moment! Have sore boobs but this is a usual af sign for me, am due on tomorrow. Have to walk ds a mile to nursery in a minute and then home again for half an hour and then back again! Walking 4 miles a day will get me fit at least which is a plus for ttc i suppose. Bit down today :-(

chilledmama · 18/03/2008 11:09

Did another test this morning...still nothing! I'm going out at lunchtime to buy some decent tests...I like the Pregnant/Not pregnant ones...I hate squinting for the invisible line!!

Good luck to everyone else testing at the mo...Remember its's all symtoms! Especially double posting

beaniesteve · 18/03/2008 11:05

Why do I have a metalic taste in my mouth when I feel so sure my period is on its way - terrible stomach ache too!

JollyBear · 18/03/2008 11:03

Woooooooooh mibbes! That mushy brain is a good symptom .

MOB You won't get left behind! I hope you did manage to catch the egg after your lovely afternoon off. It is rubbish not knowing though isn't it? Damn this TTC business. Have a lovely relaxing time at reflexology.

I don't want you all to get your hopes up!! I had some fleeting AF type pains before and am really thirsty which I know can be a symptom but it is also a pre-AF symptom for me. I'll test tomorrow anyway although I'm still dreading it - probably yet another test with just one damn line on it!

mibbes · 18/03/2008 10:44

ooh dear am definitely PG - brain is mush and double posted again

mibbes · 18/03/2008 10:41

MOET we would never leave you here alone missus. You just have to get the business done asap I hope the reflexology is relaxing.

DG sorry forgot to say earlier but fab news that digibean was behaving for you yesterday, the wee mite has put you through enough ! So pleased all is going well

Well since my last post a few mins ago have slight pains in boobs ! It is hilarious as soon as you think of symtpoms they suddenly appear - oh dear..

AF not here yet. Due on Thursday.

MadOldEasterTurkey · 18/03/2008 10:35

Morning everyone

First of all, sorry for making you cringe yesterday fairy i didn't mean to offend you, i'm so sorry. Hope things are good with you today.

Welcome to chilledmama & clairePO ( i remember your name from somewhere as well)

Mibbes am pleased that your tests etc have started, although i would feel as impatient as you! We will have to keep you occupied, and you never know, you may get a BFP before all the results!!

JB things are still sounding good - i'm excited!!!

EI you are certainly busy with all your lists & general mystic powers!! PicknMix you are so lucky to have been EI'd - it's got to happen for you soon!

hattyyellow how are things with you??

shakeysgirl i think i've heard 1st response are one of the better ones?

DG so pleased about the scan and healthy digibean!!!

scaryhairy so sorry to hear of all your HPT troubles. What a pain. Don't give up hope yet, though.

TB2 or has your name changed again?!!! Hello!

beaniesteve hope AF stays away. Fingers crossed for you.

Crumbs, who have i missed??

Off to reflexology now. Feeling pretty fed-up as i'm not sure if i've ov'd or not, and anyway we haven't BD'ed since friday now, for one reason and another I'm going to be left on this thread alone!!!!

mibbes · 18/03/2008 10:31

oops - is double-posting a symptom ??

mibbes · 18/03/2008 10:31

Scary are CB going to send you replacements ? I have a few in the drawer (in preparation) but won't be using them as that is so cruel to give you a false positive

Jollybear OMG I am beside myself ! A way high temp so early is seriously good news when you testing ? I'm not sure I can take the suspense much longer

beanie I am quietly hopeful for you mi lady

Anyway now that I'm on the 2ww and at 7dpo I reckon it is time for some serious symtpom spotting. Sadly nothing to report though, I need to get my @ss back onto that mad 2ww website and conjure up a few beauties. I had a queasy feeling last night but had just scoffed a toffee sponge drowned in cream !!! and have peed at least twice so have a few to go to match that woman on the website who'd pee'd about 70 times !!!!

Hiya jollybear

Due on Thursday if I stick to the last few months of a 24 day cycle - if it comes earlier I will be right P*ed off that my cycle is getting shorter

Basically I rarely get any Period pains/symptoms apart from being hyper the week before and then flashes of anger when I am on it. This morning someone in the car behind me beeped me - really they were just letting me know the traffic was moving but my response was really aggressive and horrible. my BF was in the car and he looked completely shocked. Then I started crying! So he said 'is your period due then'

I have back ache.

I have just taken my vitamins and EPO seeing as I am pretty sure I am going to get my period soon so I may as well do what I can to regulate my moods.

Would be very surprised if period doesn't come. Silly that I was having all the 'signs' last week, and such an overwhelming sense of wellbeing

boobs hurt now too.

scaryhairy hope you're ok. Damn faulty tests.

ScaryHairy · 18/03/2008 09:38

Quick sneaky post from work...

CB have confirmed that a thin line like that is a faulty test.

They need the batch numbers to send a new test but I have thrown the boxes away (no surprise there, I am cross).

So I guess it is a BFN from me and tomorrow is the very latest date possible AF is due so if my temp if down I will know.

The wierd thing is these very strong cramps and backache I have been getting since last week. I think I need to see a Dr.

BBL

JollyBear · 18/03/2008 08:59

Oooops cross posted beanie Sorry I forgot to ask how you were . Do forgive me!

She might not be waiting to get you! Do you feel pre-afy? Is she due today?

JollyBear · 18/03/2008 08:56

Good morning all,

SH How at those tests. Have you got a different brand to use tomorrow? I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't a strategy by Clearblue to sell more digital tests. Grrrrrrrrrrr.

P&M It is perfectly understandable to have a wobble when you hear of a new baby in the family Hope you feel a bit brighter today. A house rabbit sounds great by the way! Not sure I could have one with the cats

GG Hello, are you there? Hope you are OK.

MOB Any ov news from you? Hope the bleeding stopped. I had some bleeding my last cycle for no reason at all, it wasn't close to ov or anything so it can just happen.

mibbes Practically a BFP in the bag now you've been ei'ed! How are those temps? Thanks for crossing everything for me!

Welcome chilledmama! The waiting is awful isn't it? Good luck.

DG Soooo happy for you ! Thanks for letting us know. Keep us posted how you are getting on.

shakey Sorry about BFN. I'm not really sure about sensitivity of tests I'm afraid. Fingers crossed for you.

ei How are you finding temping?

pink/FDCO/tinker I can't keep up! How are you feeling?

Well I had to get up at stupid o'clock (5am!) to take DH to the station so that has obviously messed my temp up! It was 36.84 at 5am though and I don't usually test till 6.45 so I think that is still a very high temp. I've recorded it on my chart as 36.96! I could easily be kidding myself mind

Hello to everyone else.
