Sorry, I keep posting before reading to the end of the thread. Hello shoeshine too!

I'm with BeckyBL - bet you're preg. V. glad that you think that would be good news - in a really mad, chaotic, messy way!! Come and join us on the ttc number 4 thread!

Twiglettini · 15/01/2009 12:44

Hello Beanstalk, hello sabs1981, hello silentlywondering, hello everyone.

How have the Thursday testers been???

I'm still a bfn, but probably not due until tomorrow anyway.

shoneshine · 15/01/2009 09:49

Ooooooo maybe Im mad (15m gap!) but Im almost hoping so! Will be hard work and my house will be even messier! But Wel manage. Had 17m gap (planned) between our first 2 so hfly this wont be too much harder. Bit scary, just want to know now!Xx

BeckyBendyLegs · 15/01/2009 09:21

My bets are on you being preggers shoneshine!

FlorenceB · 15/01/2009 09:20

I am still testing negative.. no AF though and no symptoms of either pregnancy or AF... All very odd!!! Good luck to the rest of you xx

Hi everyone! So glad this thread was started, Im going mad w symptom spotting and paranoia! We havent been ttc already have 6 almost 7mnth old ds, 2 yr old dd and 4 year old ds! But we were lets say, naive on new years eve (ewcm day after) and the week after. Were using the withdrawal method, hadnt decided what contraception to use since birth of ds2, had heard nasty things bout injection, coil and mini pill. Periods havent yet returned as Im still breastfeeding BUT they returned about 7mnths w my other 2 dc. Maybe Im paranoid but since over a week now Iv had pms type crampy achy feeling v low down, shooting pains in boobs, warm 'fuzzy' drugged feeling few nights ago like I was too tired even to smile. DH said he hadnt seen me like that since preg t first time. Bn getting a sharp quick pain/headache at top of head on and off all week, never normally get headaches. Have had times when Im convinced I am then not so sure. Since last night Ive had the feeling of pressure on my bladder even though Id just hada wee. Dida clear blue digital Tues but was neg, still not convinced tho as have no idea when Id be due on! What do you all think? PLace bets now!

BeckyBendyLegs · 15/01/2009 08:13

My only symptom so far is being a bit blocked up. Otherwise I feel fine and dandy so don't think I am pregnant. I could go naked jogging, drink wine, stay up all night, drink coffee by the bucket load, sniff the bin...

Four days until AF due so still early days for me!

Good luck to everyone! And no obsessing if you can help it while waiting (yeah, right, I know).

silentlywondering · 15/01/2009 07:28

Still no AF. Get paid tomorrow so if still no sign of AF will be popping out to buy a test.

I can only take my bra off long enough to change it atm so sore. There is deff a downside to having large norks! Off to the loo more often and really spotty skin but these can be premenstrual signs as well as pg signs so hey ho will wait till tomorrow to see. Will prob wait to test till Sat morning though.

upsyandiggle · 14/01/2009 19:19

good luck iloverosycheeks and florenceB fingers crossed. Hi beanstalk. i really want to test but DH wants to wait untill sunday . all my symptoms are also AF symptoms so it just drives me mad. Roll on sunday

beanstalk · 14/01/2009 12:10

Hello, can I join? Just been laughing in recognition at your sympton spotting. I am ttc but being totally irrational about it. Came off the POP 2 weeks ago and no period, so have no idea when AF is due. But as I have gone up a bra size (??) and have for the last 4 days had crampy pain like period pain I am wondering if it is a) just my system settling down after the pill or b) AF on its way. It can't possibly be pg symptons this early I know, but if only...
See what I mean about irrational!

iloverosycheeks · 14/01/2009 10:54

so be thinking of me and FlorenceB tomorrow and will keep fingers crossed for everyone else...

iloverosycheeks · 14/01/2009 10:52

Buying a test today and testing Thurs morning [gulp]
sorry to hear abour your DH redundancy vtiredmummy.... my DP is getting a bit jumpy about TTC as he is self employed and its taking a wee while to pick up after holidays - we live in uncertain times!! They way I look at it things could be different in 9 months and also a second baby doesnt cost as much as the first (deluded emoticon) anyway I am a bit worried that if not pg this month then he will have talked himself out of it for next month

littlemiss26 · 14/01/2009 09:35

turtle i got a faint positive on an ebay cheapie 5 days before AF!! it wasn't an early test either so i must get high HCG quick! It ended up a mmc at 10 weeks though so i'm watching this thread as its been 3 and a half weeks since ERPC and we've been trying but not sure if i'm in 2WW or body is still sorting itself out - good luck

BeckyBendyLegs · 14/01/2009 09:11

What I want to know, totally unrelated to pregnancy and TTCing, is why sometimes when I look on MN the threads are all the other way around (ie most recent post at the top rather than the bottom)? I prefer it to be at the bottom and keep having to click 'flip'. Flipping ech!

Well I still don't feel pg. I have dreams about being pg though. Ahhhh its just too stressful.

I've got some ebay tests and I've only used them on day AF due and beyond. I don't know whether you can use them earlier.

turtle23 · 14/01/2009 08:28

Anybody know how early the ebay cheapies let you test?

silentlywondering · 14/01/2009 07:54

Can I join you?

31 day cycle now 4 days overdue. Not been actively trying but not been abstaining iyswim. History of mc so am just kind of letting nature take its course atm. I have 2 dc already Just want somewhere to hang out as it were till I get up the courage to test. DH keeps saying he doesn't want any more but knows I can't use hormonal contraception and refuses to get the snip and hasn't been using other forms of protection so it will be a miracle if I am not pg by end of year as I am quite fertile just have problems with the baby staying put past 9 weeks.

vtiredmummy · 13/01/2009 20:48

Hi Twiglettini, (and everyone) Very weird feelings re redundancy. TTC cos we decided we wanted a second ds or a dd, and I've been feeling mega-broody for about 6 months now. But now it will be blimmin' scary as well as totally wonderful if I am PG, as it might not necessarily be the same set up we had before when ds came about. Scared but excited I guess!!!

Sabs1981 · 13/01/2009 17:36

Hello ladies can I join? My AF due sat 17th jan. Am on cycle 1 since waiting 3 months before trying again after my mmc in sept.

I was already a bit naughty and impatient by testing using FR on sunday which was a BFN

BeckyBendyLegs · 13/01/2009 14:49

I haven't tested yet. I feel grumpy and have had a few crampy feelings BUT those are both pregnancy symptoms as well as PMT symptoms. That's the problem!!!! I will perhaps test on Saturday morning.

Twiglettini · 13/01/2009 14:37

Lets hope we get a week of BFPs

turtle23 · 13/01/2009 14:32

I'm due on Monday but have no doubt I will be testing from Thursday. I am an hpt addict.

Twiglettini · 13/01/2009 14:27

Just getting mild period-like cramping, oh dear

Twiglettini · 13/01/2009 14:21

Sorry to hear about the redundancy, vtiredmummy. No wonder you are stressed, poor you and your DH. Has it changed how you feel about having another?

Hello FlorenceB, was wondering how you were doing. No, don't give up until AF appears, still got my fingers crossed for you. Have to admit to testing every day, though I think AF isn't due until Fri (I think).

Wondered who was next due for their AF:
FlorenceB Thursday
iloverosycheeks Thursday
Twig Friday
vtiredmummy Sunday
upsyandiggle Sunday
BeckyBL Monday

Have I got this right, anyone else around want to add their name to the list??

vtiredmummy · 13/01/2009 12:55

sorry, meant 'literally'

vtiredmummy · 13/01/2009 12:55

Hi all,

Have come to join - AF due on Sunday so just waiting to test. Feel bit nauseous but may be stress as dh got notice of redundancy last week, literayy a day after we finished trying
