WHAT DO WE WANT??...BFPs WHEN DO WE WANT THEM??...NOW!!!! symptom spotters and 2wwaiters brand spanking new thread [grin]

afternoon ladies
good luck bs and jb thanks

Hello everyone

beaniesteve have got my fingers crossed for you! It's great that you are feeling so perky. I briefly read your thread about losing your cervix - that can also be another good sign, hope you haven't found it yet?!

scaryhairy sorry you had a BFN, but it could definitely be too early to test, and also i assume it was a CB digital you did, and i understand that they are less sensitive than some other tests.

fairy fingers crossed for your imminent testing!

JB your temps sound good. i understand you wanting to wait until you test, and that is probably very wise (though frustrating for the rest of us who are not at the time to start testing and can only satisfy their testing obsession through other people! )Yes, apparently a hot uterus is good (although it's my foot's that hot, not really my uterus, so not sure if that will aid conception!)

GG hope you are lurking out there. How are things with you? Hope everything's ok as it can be - thinking of you lots.

Well, not a lot to report here. On CD15, but i don't seem to be close to ov yet. Lots of creamy CM, but not much EWCM yet. Am hoping that my cycle is gradually lengthening, for most of my life it has been around 33 days. Since coming off the pill a few months ago it has been 25 - 29 days. If it gets a bit longer i will see that as a good thing - getting back to how my body always used to be. Maybe that's the reflexology as well. DH & I are both only working a half day today, so he'll be home in a bit and is insisting on some BDing, "just to get some in there early, waiting for the egg" as he puts it!! Oh well, beats working!

Morning all,

mibbes How's your temp today? Hope you've got that third day rise

MOB How are you today? Hope your uterus is still hot! Did the reflexologist say that was a good thing? It sounds good!

scary Grrr this testing thing is horrible isn't it! Sorry about the BFN but as you say yourself it is still early.

fairy Any news? Hope that temp stayed high and you are still set for testing tomorrow.

GG Are you there? Hope everything is OK.

ei How's the temping going so far? I found it a bit difficult at first but once you get into a routine it's great as you know when you've ov.

pink Glad AF still hasn't arrived.

beanie Glad to hear you are full of beans! Twinges sound good to me.

10DPO today, eeek! Nothing to report really except my highest ever temp this morn 37.07. I'm thinking of not testing on Sunday after all. It would still be a bit early and I want to go on thinking I could be pregnant for a bit longer. I'd be really disappointed and I hate BFN .

Oh - and the top of my boobs are throbbing.

Still trying to be sensible about this, I will probably get my period, but it's a symptom - right?

nipples are not sore though, and I read that tehy can be the worst.

Well, morning all!
Today I have an overwhelming feeling of wellbeing. I could easily say this is because I am pregnant but really I have no idea if that's true! I always get a bit hyper before my period and it's due on Wednesday. We'll see.

Have still got weird twinges in both my abdomen and my boobs, but as I say - period due soon.

Would be nice if my cycle is a bit longer this month, maybe the EPO and Vit B6 will have worked. Certainly don't feel so angry!

morning sh sorry about bfn good luck

Oh my God, I've killed the thread !!

I've just realised something totally stupid.
When I have seen HPTs that say you can test "as early as 4 days before your period is due" they don't mean 10dpo, they mean 11dpo. There is an example on the First Response instructions that explains it. Of course you can still get a BFP before 11 dpo, but it is interesting to think that I consistently test way too early...

There's that desperation again...

give it time you may get lucky. Totally understand the desperation.

Hello all - sorry, I've been at work all day and daren't log into MN in case the IT guy decides to check up on what I've been doing!
I did another test this morning (might be 10 dpo, might not) and it said "not pregnant", but I am not surprised so will just wait and see from now on.
Feeling surprisingly relaxed all things considered although a bit worried that I have become so desperate that I have started hallucinating lines. I have experienced "disappearing positives" in the past so maybe it was another of those (i.e. a faulty test). Bloody clearblue if it was.

Good luck to everyone who's testing this wekeend.

good luck bs

see.... no hurting boobs, no metalic taste, but I do have some strange things going on in my abdomen and because my period is due in a week I am trying to calm myself down and not keep thinking I am pregnant. Grrrr

MOB LOL at your hot uterus and PMSL at Ei's big wind
JB Thanks a lot for temp advice - I think I'll put 36.56

Afternoon all,

Scary Any news yet?!

ei Feel free to have a dream about me . Any bear-like shadow in the bottom of that teacup?

fairy I would have put my higher temp in too if I had two to choose from Fingers very crossed for you!

beanie Hope it isn't wishful thinking. I've been playing the old tried and tested symptom spotting game of 'hmm do my boobs hurt?' 'oooh they hurt' .

I have strange feelings in my abdomen, but I recon it's just wishful thinking.

LOL
What have I done, infamous for stropping on MN!!

thanks bird that is hopeful

Hello ladies

mibbes lovely to see you back. Sounds like you had a lovely holiday. Sounds like you have ov'd (although i'm no expert on temping) here's hoping for a holiday bean for you!! Thank you for asking about the relexology. It is definitely making me feel far less stressed and anxious about ttc. I had a session this morning, and she said that the area that corresponds to my uterus is "hot". Apparently thats a good thing! She seemed very positive.

EI sorry to hear about the problems you have had with the terrible wind. I think that it is definitely a symptom - farting so badly the broadband goes down

pinkgirl It does sound like you may be ov now. I always get white cm followed by lots of clear. A good indication is (according to what i've read) a round, very damp patch in underwear! Any other wetness / discharge won't be so obviously round. It may be that when you got EWCM at CD14, that your body tried to ov, but didn't.

hattyyellow hope your DH is right and you are PG!!!

scaryhairy have you done another test? i'm on tenterhooks!!!

I'm afraid work is calling, but a big hello to everyone i haven't mentioned (including fairy )

I lol at Stroppy Fairy mibbes

There was a lady on th etemping thread who had the same with her post ov temps being low for a whil, but FF still kept her ov date as was. I wouldn't worry mibbes. The EWCM is surley a good sign. And, as you say, either temp is above your cover line.
I am really messing up my temps over the past few days. Keep waking too early and then dozing. So I get low temps when I first wake and better ones after my doze.
I am at the end of my LP now, so I am putting the higher temps in, so that I can kid myself that AF is not on her way
Silly, huh?

Ooh, scary my CB! Are you testing again today? I am 11dpo today norm LP is 11, so I am going to give AF a couple more days to make her appearance then test on Saturday.
Ei dream of me!!! 8 months of trying, I have had enough!

morning jb
hope that u r having a gd one
no af cd 47 and no sign of her coming not moody and no cramps just lots of clear cm

Morning all,

mibbes I'd say you have ov. 36.46 is high for 6am if your temps are usually below 36.45 and taken an hour and 15 mins later. The temp corrector on the VIP membership used to add on about .3 for every 15 mins earlier than usual temp and remove .3 for being over. That is v approximate and I only worked that out myself so don't take it as gospel!! Your holiday sounds blissful .

SH An almost kind of line is great news, are you retesting today? Oooh do let us know.

ei Have you started temping today? I had an odd dream last night I was looking for a maternity unit because I wanted to see a midwife! When I found them they were smoking and wearing old fashioned uniforms . Very odd!

treats Good luck with holding out! What CD or DPO are you?

hatty How are you feeling? There are a few of us biting our nails at the moment aren't there?!

Nothing much in the way of symptoms over here apart from feeling tired and hungry but I'm often like that .

Hello to bucky, GG, PnM, fairy, MOB, pink and anyone else, lurkers or otherwise.

morning mibbes
i am great thanks no sign of af or of it coming as not moody and no cramps just wet clear cm. yep we are bding every 3 days
yep is my 1st cycle since pill!!
hope that you are well 2
good luck with temperature

hatty all the best with your examination and finding out what is happening. FWIW I had an internal exam when I went to see GP 2 weeks ago and it was way less uncomfortable than a smear, nothing to worry about atall. Anyway hopefully you won't need the exam if your mood swings are PG hormone related

Bucky how are you missus ? You still lurking out there ?

Ei managed to conjure up an dreams then ? Is all still going smoothly with the house exchange ?

pinkgirl how are you this morning ? Am I right in saying this is your first cycle since you came off the pill ? If so are you still BD'ing just in case ? My friend had several very long cycles when she came off the pill so just in case this is why your are so late it'd be a shame if you missed the egg - keep at it hun sorry if I have the wrong end of the stick though

ScaryHairy did you test again today...? I have everything crossed for you . If you get BFP we'll all be meditating hummmmmm......

Treats hi former CB. do you think you have ov'd now, any symptoms ?

JB yes maybe flying has delayed ov or maybe just a longer cycle as they can be unpredictable. I can't wait until you test on Sunday - I'd love to see you get a BFP hun xx

beaniesteve when did you start opks ? maybe with such a short cycle you ov'd before you started testing ? hope you caught the egg anyway, as opks don't work for everyone.

Hi stroppy Fairy !!! how are you my dear ? any symptoms today ? Lucky you being taken on holiday !

MOB any news from you ? do you think reflexology has helped then ?

GG have you managed to get to the bottom of DH's results ? Have ladies on other threads been able to shed any light or give you advice ?
