Nope- still no period! And i still have sore boobs despite wearing an extra special soft bra etc. I don't know where period is but im hoping shes here soon I am trying to stay positive about it all- i guess i really did think it would happen quite quickly like it did for friends/ family! oh well... the wait contiues! xx

monkeybumsmum · 16/07/2008 17:32

Ah Crunchy, I'm sorry about the -ve test. It is gutting isn't it . Has your period actually started?

I hope you get pregnant soon, but remember it's not unusual for it to take quite a long time - no consolation I know, but try not to worry. Although, having said that, I know how impossible it is to think about much else when you're ttc! Try to relax though, as I really believe it helps. Good luck, and keep in touch!

crunchynutter · 16/07/2008 16:34

sorry-have been very busy but it was a no mu husband has been great though but its still sad- early days though so i am not going to panic just yet xx

bekkaboo · 15/07/2008 21:34

any news?

monkeybumsmum · 14/07/2008 20:52

Any news Crunchy? Hope you're okay...

crunchynutter · 13/07/2008 21:43

thank you- i am worried it will be a no and i will feel silly and be sad all week! I will try my best to stay positive either way!

monkeybumsmum · 13/07/2008 21:27

Ooohhh good luck!

crunchynutter · 13/07/2008 21:18

Aww thank you! Shops were closed by the time I decided to just test- am thinking I will get some tomorrow though and give it a try! If i'm brave enough fingers crossed!

monkeybumsmum · 13/07/2008 20:44

Hi Crunchy! I'm not sure about having been on DP, but the symptoms certainly sound interesting. Have you got any tests?

By the way, I got some cheapy tests (10 for £7something) from this site - they're in the purple/white box with Advanced LH written on them. They were just as sensitive as the ClearBlue I used, and I've gone through quite a few - I would be nearing bankruptcy by now if I'd bought the shop ones

Let us know how you get on won't you, will be dying to know!

bekkaboo · 13/07/2008 20:21

cunchynutter welcome! Always worth a test, my mte first month finishing on the pill so possible, also thoughiron tabs makeme feel really queasy so dont rule that out either. Off you trot to do a test and wait for your repsonse, good luck x

crunchynutter · 13/07/2008 12:52

Hello -congratulations monkeybumsmum!!

I haven't posted on this thread before but you all seem to know what you're on about so thought id ask for some advice!

I came off DP four weeks ago as we have decided to TTC our first. I have no sign of period but have been all over the place the olast week... boobs have grown/sore, my belly hurts and lower back, i have been to the toilet A LOT and even had random diarreah yesterday which never happens. i have been feeling a little quesy but have not been sick, Am also very tired (have been on iron tablets for a while though so im not too concerned about that!)

Am i being paranoid and is this normal pre menstrual stuff or do you think theres a possibility i could be pregnant? would you know this early on? Is it worth testing?

monkeybumsmum · 12/07/2008 13:17

Hello! Gosh it has been quiet hasn't it!

Got a BFP a week ago yesterday, but been away so didn't get chance to post...

Feeling a bit queasy now, long may it continue! Had no sickness last time and mc'd at 8 wks.

Any more BFP's?

MisConDuct · 12/07/2008 12:51

m0nkeynuts · 07/07/2008 21:51

Hello! Can I join??

I'm 6 or 7dpo and I've already started testing

Had cramping a couple of days ago, so I thought "hmm...implantation??" and decided to test today! Have VERY faint lines on ICs and One Steps so I'm going to hold off for a couple of days before re-testing. If these lines are real, I should see a noticeable difference in 48 hours

Symptom-wise I've got AWFUL heartburn, which I only usually get when I'm pg!

bekkaboo · 07/07/2008 20:55

Hi im back again, ready and waiting for AF this month! Everyone ok? last month AF 22 days so might not be too long to wait this month..

MisConDuct · 06/07/2008 13:44

Anyone?

I'm not even tempted to lure dh into bed in the hope anymore. Ok I'll lure him into bed but I've come to realise that our three will be it. We really can't afford anything at the moment and it does put pressure on our marriage I wouldn't want to do anything drastic. But I do want to hear all about you lot still.

fingers crossed for you all

cakesandchocolate · 03/07/2008 11:26

Hi all, been quiet this week- any more BFP's?
Congrats auntyspan - I saw your other post!!
And Hi Piper, are you still ok?
Had a smiley face on my ov test this mornin (DAy 10, early, body still playing tricks..) so feel a bit her we go again-ish!! Hot date with DH this evening planned!

OP posts:
cakesandchocolate · 27/06/2008 20:20

And Piper, keep us updated!

OP posts:
cakesandchocolate · 27/06/2008 20:19

That's brilliant news Piper! So pleased for you.
Blood tests all normal - DH says I am malingerer! Promised it was a joke...
So that's good news on the ttc front tho I guess.
Have just finished AF so looking forward to a good bit of creative BD!!!

monkeybumsmum · 27/06/2008 18:06

Hi Joy, not sure re lack of EWCM. I would think that your body could still ovulate, but maybe just not produce the EWCM. I know some people drink grapefruit juice to try and encourage more EWCM...

Boobs still ever so slightly sore (have now moved on to squeezing them to get a reaction ) and I have lots and lots of saliva . Have been getting slight cramps too, so am convinced AF going to arrive pretty soon though!

How's everyone else feeling?

Joy27 · 27/06/2008 14:44

Congratulations Piper that's brilliant news! Fingers crossed that everything goes perfectly.

Monkey lol at the boob-prodding. Surely they must be genuinely sore, as you'd have to prod long and hard to hurt them yourself!

No boob-prodding here, but I'm a mildly fed up. I've been reading about EWCM but haven't had a hint of anything, let alone EWCM, since I had a weird light bleed/spotting over CDs 11-13.
Probaly my body is just adjusting to not being on the pill (came off it six weeks ago and have had one period), but I'd still merrily starred CD14 and CD15 in my diary as days I'd probably ovulate. It's my first time ttc so I guess I'm rather naive...!
Does no EWCM mean no egg/no chance of conceiving?

monkeybumsmum · 26/06/2008 22:58

Hello, please can I join in too - am on CD20, and think I could have ov'd as early as CD9. i had a mc around the same time as Nandos (hello Nandos ), and have been waiting for things to get back to normal too.

Have been feeling a bit sick in the last few days, and today my boobs are ever so slightly sore (though it could be due to all the prodding to see if they are sore ).

Congratulations Piper - hope your luck spreads to us all on this thread!

bekkaboo · 26/06/2008 22:45

Cngratulations Piper, really happy for you. Whens your due date?

Ive just counted up and realised I have actually come of 6 days early! What the heck is al that about?!
