Hi girlies I'm on CD30 and havin small niggly feelings like I get b4 AF but I'm never this early, more like CD36/42. Last time with DS2 PG I thought I was getting AF for almost a week because of pains
so don't lose hope out there. Let's push on thru together. I'm goona try to wait til maybe Thurs/Fri to test.

Hello CD 29 here and trying to hold out till CD 31 or 32 before I test. Last month AF was late and I got to CD 36 with 6 BFNs so we shall see. Not optamistic.

Hi Cathers, Got my fingers crossed for you

cathers · 18/05/2008 19:32

Funny that LMD. I have just bought another damn pack of ovulation sticks for next month! Holding out on buying pre-seed till wed, though at that point may substitute cash for nice bottle of wine depending on how fed up I am.
Not tested yet - 48 hours to go and surprising relaxed still. Am convinced of another BFN to minimise 8th month of disapointment.

littlemissdaisy · 18/05/2008 19:25

where is everyone today? I have just bought a clearblue fertility monitor off of, yeah you guessed it, EBAY. Never before have I been so excited about getting my AF, I have definatley set myself up for a BFN this month, How is everyone else doin???

leaky · 17/05/2008 14:06

Sorry to hear that Little. By the way, where do you all get your nick names from. Mine is my life now as a result of DS2 labour!
P.s I've bought a book on ebay!

littlemissdaisy · 17/05/2008 07:13

Hi Leak, CP = Chemical Preganacy, its when the egg is fertilised but doesn't implant. I Got a BFP on day 31 and then had heavy clotty bleed three days later.

leaky · 16/05/2008 18:38

Got a couple of books from the library but Ebay sounds like a good idea, I hadn't thought of that. Sorry to ask littlemissdaisy but what is CP. I'm not that clued up on all the abbreviations and on here it says cerebral palsy??

Just done weekly shop, have a slight headache & so many people had strong perfume on,ugh. Not that that means a thing.

Hi Guys
I got a great pregancy & conception book off of Ebay for a couple of quid, its for sale in Mothercare for £22.99 Bargain I have no symptoms yet either, I am not very hopeful of a BFP this month as I was advised not take my Clomid script until I have a natural cycle, I had a CP last month

Heron23 · 16/05/2008 14:28

hi all, hi littlemissdaisy, just got back from acupuncture, so feeling quite relaxed. it is dy22 for me.

taking temps and it is still high. no other major symptoms though, boobs a bit tender and a bit of low back pain, thats it really...

i am not obsessing at all this month, cos now i know that this ttc can take a long time...i got preg first month when trying for DS. now i know we were just so lucky!

leaky · 16/05/2008 14:07

By the way, I did have some great books last time round but thought we'd settle for 2 kids so gave everything away...books,moses basket,steriliser,BF bras,maternity clothes,baby clothes. Oh well. Think I'll look in the charity shops for books too.

leaky · 16/05/2008 14:03

I wish I could have a regular cycle to beable to say it's due on this date and I know I'm say 6 days over or something. Because my cycle can range from 33 to usually 45 days(although it has been known for me to go upto 50 days! ) I just have to wait for any symptoms to REALLY kick in. I was on CD37 last pregnancy.Off to library now to get a book on pregnancy so I can read & re-read & re-read all about symptoms.Ha ha, we're all so sad aren't we!!

cece · 16/05/2008 13:36

Just signing in. Nice list littlemissdaisy!

No symptoms here. Although been getting some cramping sort of niggles yesterday and today. Today is 11 DPO, so a bit early for AF grumblings to start

Definitely no sore boobs or metallic tastes here. But hey I did have all the symptoms last month and I qot 6 BFN before AF turned by 6 days late

leaky · 16/05/2008 12:23

Just signing in....hi everyone...I don't feel pregnant today if I'm honest. Could still be too soon to tell. Had to go to dentist this morning for half hour appt & she wanted to do an x-ray but I didn't want to risk it if pregnant...told her I'd know by time I go back in 2wks time so she might beable to take one then....hope not, haha.

Keep imagining a funny taste in my mouth. I am sure I'm imagining it. Either that or it's cos my mouth's still numb.

Good luck everyone

flowerfairy · 15/05/2008 20:00

hello to all today. thanks for the preseed advice. I'm on count down 5 days to AF, though have a strong feeling that this month it will be late . Very, very, very sore boobs, and ds always seems to be wriggling about on knee at bedtime and elbowing me in this very delicate place atm. I can only remember having very strong cramps for a long time and a metallic taste with previous pg. Though my pms also has these symptoms, so who knows?

ANyone got any other symptoms?

littlemissdaisy · 15/05/2008 19:57
