AF due on 17/06/08. Anyone else?

Oh Snap Bamamama. Im alrady having a glass of red tonigth along with a curry, this is my last craving before i turn skinny! Well try to anyway! Of course this will all depend on if AF arrives on Tuesday!! Fingers crossed to you all

Hello - I managed not to test today, despite having a test in the house [proud]. A lot of my symptoms seem to be going and I'm a bit crampy so I reckon af will turn up in the next day or two.
Like Lully I'm ttc #2 and I have a ds who's 2. This is our second cycle (snap!).

Just step away from the tests now ladies, if you're not successful this month you can spend the money on wine

Emma and Ella - I think we should start a gang!

Ella and Yarnie SNAP!! TTC #1 Cycle 1!! Can't believe there is 3 of us!!

Ella - TTC no. 1 and cycle 1, too so snap!

I had no idea when I ov'd, etc so I thought temping would be a good way to get to know my cycle. I think I'm pretty regular, so I'm not sure I'll carry on temping long term. Here's my chart on FF. I'm following a similar trajectory to last month, so fairly sure I've not been successful this month.

Hi Ella

I am TTC number 2, i already have a DS who is 2yrs. THis is my 2 month of trying. I have no idea how long it took with DS as he was a very pleasent suprise! Everyone around me is preggers so there must be lots of baby dust around!

Im starting the cambridge diet on Monday, its the one where you have only shakes or soups instead of food! I only plan to do it for 2 weeks then will join weight watchers with my sister to help shed the last stone!

Good luck

Thats good to know. Im hoping you can test early with them as i want to find out tomrrow before i start this very strict diet on Monday.

LMO I've used cheapy OPKs and they appear to work just fine.

No sysmpons for me although im very tired today, think that normal for a Friday though!
I have just found out that my best friend is expexting, its such great news. I just hope im not too far behind her.

You may all think im mad but i have bought some cheep OV kits & PG tests from EBAY, they should arrive today. Another MNuser recommended them to me.

Have any og you lovely ladies used them? x

Any news or exciting symptoms, people?

Nothing from me. Temp is a bit higher this morning at 9 DPO, but that's normal for me at this point. I definitely feel a BFN brewing.

Hope you're all feeling more optimistic than me!

Mandy I am coming in to work on Saturday then me and DP are going to see his nephews on Sunday so I'm hoping that will be enough to keep my mind off it!! Positive thinking...I'm impressed!! As you said, it ain't over til AF sings!!

We really need a BFP ladies...according to percentages at least 1 of us should get one!! I am ever the optimist!!

Ella 9DPO is still very early...I had BFN on 6,7,8,11 and 13DPO...but I'm still going!! If you promise not to test again I'll wait til Tuesday with you?!?! And from a POAS addict thats a big deal!!

Hope everyone is well!!

Hi Ella, I missed your latest post. Sorry about the BFN but happy you're feeling cheery. Good on you!
Fingers crossed everyone.
Oh go on, have some Baby Dust:

LMOO, hi there. Don't know about the coil, sorry. I think the weight thing is exaggerated but if you do want to lose a bit TCC a helluva motivator, no? (I'm still about 1/2 stone overweight - the worst bit to lose in my book but GP said not to worry). It's mainly cutting down on drinking that's helped me. I'm v lazy & love crisps. Oh, and BDing is good exercise, eh?

Yarnie, I'm with you on this one. My test isn't even burning in the knicker drawer yet.

Babamama, so sorry! But steady on, it's not over until AF sings (what I'm clinging on to anyhow).

Emma, be strong! You can do it. Have you something to take your mind off this?

Feelingblue, how are you doing? x

Ella, hope you're feeling better today. Have you ever had that flour-y, almost 'grainy' CM before? I haven't, it's normally more 'milky' at that time, so got my hopes right up (having heard things change up there in v early PG) fool that I am. What's these super tests then?

I'm not testing until Sunday but I'm sure AF will catch me before; tomorrow or Sat. Boobs not sore any more, brown CM has stopped, getting dry, pinches in lower tummy, irritable/weepy like hell for 2 days. Oh well. Must stay positive.

Sorry about the BFN Bamamama. Sounds like could be early days for testing, though. No more testing til Monday! Be strong

Well, of course I cracked and tested today - BFN. Still, my last cycle was 32 days so that takes me up to next Tuesday. My shortest cycle in the last ten months was 24 days so who can tell when I'm actually due!

Have been feeling quite sick, really sore boobs, weird sense of smell so ticking a lot of boxes however I ticked a lot of boxes last month aswell .

Who knows? I now have to be strong and try and keep away from the other test I have until at least Saturday Sunday Monday.

Let's hope this is a lucky thread!

Good morning all! Hope all is well. Stil no real symptoms as yet but im trying to not think about it too much. Last month i was really gutted it was a BFN so im not getting my hopes up this time. Im April me & DH went on our 2 week honeymoon and ended up BD every day (sometimes even twice a day) in the hope that we would get lucky so i was really hoping last month.

Im not sure how long it takes for your body to get back to normal fatility once having the marina coil removed. Is it instantly?
Im also concerned about my weight this time round. Im at least 2 stone heavier than i was before DS was conceived. Think i need to joing a slimming club to shed a few pounds!

How is everyone else today, anymore symptoms??

Well, I tested yesterday...after 4 previous tests!!!! So I am definately not cracking! I am going to wait until Monday...I will make it without testing!!! only 3 FMUs to remain strong through

We're moving into the realms of HCG detectability (according to the claims of certain early response HPTs). Who's going to crack first!

I'm definitely not testing until after AF is due as am certain it would be a waste of money, what with not having any symptoms.

"think ourselves pregnancy"?? A bit of pre-pregnancy brain, perhaps?

Hi Yarnie, not really had any symptoms apart from being hungry all the time. I cant stop eating. I had this when preggers with my DS and i also get it before AF, my boobs are a little tender but no more than normal for AF. Im not sure about this month as DH has been away so its been hard to BD. Lets just cross our fingers and toes!

Hi LMO! AF is due on the 18th for me too! Fingers crossed, eh? Do you have any symptoms?

Emma LOL! Imagine if we could think ourselves pregnancy. MN would be overrun with sproglets!

Mandy Here's hoping you've misread your cm (I make it sound like tea leaves or something ).

Ella I'm sure these things ebb and flow, so don't fret yet. I'm with you on the idea that you must feel different if you're pregnant, though and I feel totally normal. Having said that, the amount of people who are shocked to find they are pregnant (accidentally or otherwise) suggests you don't necessarily feel that different. That's what I'm hanging onto, anyway

As I say, I'm pretty sure it's not my month as still not even a whiff of anything out of the ordinary. I'm dashing around like a mad thing though, so unless my body was shouting at me, I don't think I would "hear" it.

Hi can i join, my AF is due around the 18th. Fingers cross for us all x
