It's annoying when the symptoms of pg and period cross over!! I have the same symptoms dino 55 it's more tingly than sore when I'm pg, but you never know! Did you do it on or before your ovulation days? I heard you have a 50% chance of being pg if you do it when the time is exactly right. So you have a very high chance next month if you're not!!
I had the full ovulation sysptoms on Sunday I'm pleased to say and my persona picked that up too. Next month I know what days to try!!

..oh and I have a headache today but that might be the red wine I guzzled last night!!!

LucieB · 09/06/2003 09:15

I am due on over the next few days - should be tomorrow but have been rather irregular recently...no 'signs' of being pg - no achey boobs but also no cramping either....not getting my hopes up though.

Maybe Hewletsdaughter, but i dont want to build my hopes up.When im pg my boobs tend to be more tingly whereas my boobs are painful at the sides and i do have that sometimes before im due. I have also had abit of crampy tummyache low down (bit like period pain)but i dont usually get that until the day before or even the day im due.

hewlettsdaughter · 08/06/2003 20:31

Aching boobs is an early sign of pregnancy for me - not for you dino55?

dino55 · 08/06/2003 20:23

Well just thought i'd drop a line...im due in about 8 days and just had the tell tale signs of my boobs aching, so i dont think im pg this month......oh well i'll just have to keep trying.Hows things going lucieB and quackers and anyone whoes trying?

Ooh, I would love another one! DH agrees but is always so late to bed, I am either already asleep or too tired to contemplate. Immaculate conception it may be...

quackers · 05/06/2003 19:22

nobby · 04/06/2003 16:36

I hope this is encouraging for everyone but my sister has been trying for two and a half years for a baby and has just conceived. Hooray!!! Everyone keeps crying all over the place. It's so wonderful.

quackers · 04/06/2003 15:53

Cheers! Lots of luck ttc. Roll on 3 weeks! Fingers crossed for a positive this month lucieB. I'll be waiting!!

LucieB · 04/06/2003 15:39

It will be appropriate for you if you are ttc so do join us. It gives you a great sense of mutual support.

quackers · 04/06/2003 15:36

She'll be 3 in August. Thanks for asking - She asks from time to time where's baby gone? Hope I can say soon in my tummy!!!! Took ages to get back to normal. 3 months!!! Ready again now though. It's so fascinating to hear all these stories and experiences. Best of luck to all!! You're all fab! I don't always post on this thread as it's not always appropriate for me. I read though!

LucieB · 04/06/2003 15:31

Will do and best of luck to you and everyone else still on this thread. How old is your first?

quackers · 04/06/2003 15:27

Yes it's good when things tie in and you know what is happening. Don't think it matters does it what days you ovulate as long as you ovulate!!!! MOnth before I was day 15/16. tons of luck!!!! Let me know how you get on!!!

LucieB · 04/06/2003 15:21

Will do - my o signs were on days 18 and 19 which surprised me but ties in with the cramping, I guess. Best of luck to you - am really really hoping things have worked this month. Now have to wait and see. Got the green light today so can probably have a rest!!!!

quackers · 04/06/2003 15:18

WOW! same as me red days from day 6 too right through to 22. I got pg both times now on day 11!! Suppose the sperm stays alive for 5 days. You should get a quick result with persona its very precise! I could do with the exercise though to be honest! Just come back off hols and need to loose a bit really. I'm about 18 pounds heavier than I was with my first and should loose a bit before trying! Hubby wants to wait one more period as my periods are just settling. He won't even have sex just in case so we're really raring to go!!!!! Cramping pain is good!! I felt that last time and we jumped on each other - it did work but unfortunatley we lossed that one. Keep me posted - fellow persona user!!! I'm on day 11 so from day 8 next month that will be it - I won't be able to walk!!!!

LucieB · 04/06/2003 15:11

I have been trying for 7 months now and its my first month of Persona. I got two blue lines on Friday, Sat and Sun last week and the o symbol on the Sat and Sun - also got some cramping pain on Sat. So fingers crossed. Had a red light on day 6, right through to today which is day 22. So had a lot of exercise this month. Hoping next month the machine will narrow things down a bit otherwise will be exhausted!!!

quackers · 04/06/2003 15:04

Usually not but I have heard it can appear. I got it and hadn't used persona for 2 years. It even says the symbol will not always appear even when established. The first test on day 6 only one blue line. Then by day 13 the line was blue and day 15 the ovulating symbol came up! I was well chuffed! If you don't get the symbol I suppose you can look at the test sticks. I keep them and compare - sad I know but I am really looking forward to trying again! I wanted to this month but my sensible husband wants to wait one more period! Lucie B how long have you been trying??

LucieB · 04/06/2003 14:35

Thanks quackers for being proactive! The info is a real help. Did they say whether the o symbol usually appears in your first month of using it or not?
