I know! The works!
Relax I will...Hot Chocolate at the ready! Thanks for the advice!!x

jumblequeen · 06/11/2009 17:56

Blimey!

If I had those symptoms I'd be pretty sure I was PG... I guess you just have to wait for the results to come through - a blood test is going to be so much more reliable than a HPT. Try and have a nice weekend and relax until then... Hope you're okay x

bathroomsink · 06/11/2009 17:34

Thanks jumblequeen!

My symptons are increased breast size, fatigue, vomitting, dizzyness and lightheadedness, back pain, bloated stomach.

My most fertile time was around 21st Sept and have had the symptoms since towards the end of September and getting worse. AF was due on the 3rd and 31st Oct and has been shorter and lighter than usual and HPT say no. If there was a BFP I would be about 8 weeks now and my waistbands are getting tighter I have been off work for 2 weeks but no diagnosis. I had a blood test and my platelet count was low so have had to redo this. Results back on Tuesday.

I don't know if I am , if I'm not, if I'm losing the plot...help!

jumblequeen · 06/11/2009 16:35

Kaylo - I know! and we still don't know the outcome... could have been a BFP!

Your dreams sound great! I have a friend who was approached by a total stranger that somehow knew his name, and was told he would father twins in the next couple of years. Lo and behold, it came true! (And he still doesn't know who this mystery man was...)

Good luck for your 2ww and keep us posted.

katiecubs - have a lovely weekend... hope it's a special one

katiecubs · 06/11/2009 16:22

Cripes i thought this thread was dead and now it's well busy!!

I had thought about putting of TTC until after Christmas mostly due to parties,mulled wine and not feeling sick over the holidays but i want a baby more!!

Hope everyone has lovely weekends - i will be BDing :-)

KayloFireworks · 06/11/2009 16:15

Helloooo....

I like this thread lots

You're all crazee tho, I should fit right in

Ant and Jumble I almost peed at your pee or no pee conversation lol

I think I'm gonna test on the 20th Nov, at work (am I crazy?) cos I'm going to see New Moon with my chick and guy friends, would be nice to share a tiny secret with them - they can look after me at work then. Obviously I could be feeling completely over-confident but I sense this month is it - will be an August baby for me [hoping hoping hoping...]

Or babies....

I keep dreaming that I have twins!! For the past 4 nights I have had the same dream that I'm on the school run with dd and ds but I have a rather gorgeous double pram (red, with separate carrycots) and two tiny bundles in there. No idea if girls or boys as could just see faces but what a vivid recurrent dream.

Anyway....back to reality.

Am just entering 2ww, will dtd for the few nights til about Tues[ish] then will be wishing the fortnight away so I can test. AF better leave me alone this month or theres gonna be trouble....

Hope you're all well.....

Welcome bathroomsink! Please feel free to add yourself to our stats list

What symptoms are you having (not that we're looking out for them )

bathroomsink · 06/11/2009 15:40

Hi Ladies!

I'm 27, recently married and TTC. Would love some advice on symptoms and to wish you all well!

jumblequeen · 06/11/2009 15:02

True. I'd have a wee either way if I were you - you must be bursting!

Antdamm · 06/11/2009 15:01

I peed.

No test

Up yours temptation

Antdamm · 06/11/2009 14:26

I know if I cave and its a BFN then it will still be a BFN on Tuesday. So, i'm stuck.

Maybe, I should just go pee and get rid of the temptation.

jumblequeen · 06/11/2009 14:13

Oh goodness! Well they say that you should wait a new hours for the pee to be at the correct "strength" so you've definitely done that

I don't know whether to egg you on (excuse the pun) or tell you to hold your nerve!

Antdamm · 06/11/2009 14:02

Well, I am really tempted to test now. have been holding a pee in for about 5hours

Don't know whether to test now and put me out of my misery or just go and pee!!

jumblequeen · 06/11/2009 13:51

Me either - I'm not sure I could handle it. I've had an awful week at work and it would be the last thing I needed...
Monday will be 14 DPO and when AF should be due for me. Fingers, toes, arms, legs, eyes crossed! I don't blame you for nearly caving - I did!
If I can hold out until tuesday (as long as AF is a no-show) I might just wait. I've heard that some women don't get a BFP until waaaaay after AF should have arrived anyway.

We'll see....

Antdamm · 06/11/2009 13:19

How are you feeling today? Any mad symptoms?

Its monday you test isn't it? I think I will be testing on Tuesday. You could always hold out an extra day and test with me on Tuesday If you wanted lol.

I know theres not a chance in hell you could bear to do that.

I am quite nervous about doing a test. I nearly caved and did one about an hour ago, just to see, but decided against it.

I don't want a BFN

jumblequeen · 06/11/2009 12:48

Yes. [breathes a sigh of relief emoticon]

Phew!

Antdamm · 06/11/2009 12:42

Of course, I am only pulling your leg. We know everything about this TTC lark. And we know exactly what we are doing

Reassured now?

jumblequeen · 06/11/2009 12:23

Listen lady, I need to hold on to that idea otherwise I'll be back on the pill before you can say "sleepless nights"!

Antdamm · 06/11/2009 12:20

hahahhahahahahahaha - You think we have any idea what we are doing??

Are you mad woman!!!?

jumblequeen · 06/11/2009 12:14

CD23... That means I only have three days left before I can reasonably test!

Antdamn, Seanbosmummy, Kaylo - just realised you are experienced in all of this madness! Glad to see that we have someone with an idea of what they're doing steering this ship for us

Antdamm · 06/11/2009 11:44

Bumping because I'm impatient

Antdamm · 06/11/2009 09:22

Hey Ladies,

Welcome Gembay!!

Hi Kaylo - Nice to see you! Hope you are keeping well. Maybe, silent lurking is the way to go just now until you feel to obsess again I like your organisation of the list, but I am not testing til the 10th.

I lost my internet connection when trying to post on here yesterday and didn't get it back til about midnight (by which time I was peacefully sleeping) So annoying.

I am really sleepy this morning, set our alarm for half seven. Alarm went off, I turned it off and went back to sleep and didn't get up til 8:45. So, we have just ahd a mad dash around the house. Getting DS dressed, fed and his lunchbox made up. DP was running around like a madman - he has to drop car off at garage to get exhaust fixed - ooops. Silly me.

I am going to update the list for today - apologies for any mistakes.

Antdamm TTC#2 Cycle 12 UCL32ish CD42??
Seanybosmummy TTC#2 Cycle 18 UCL 29-31 CD23
Jumblequeen TTC#1 Cycle 2 UCL26 CD22
Sparechange TTC#1 Cycle 3 UCL31ish CD21
Kaylo TTC#3 Cycle 2(after mc) UCL 29 CD14
Katiecubs TTC#1 Cycle 1 UCL31ish CD12

jumblequeen · 05/11/2009 22:09

gembay - I'm 26 and this is my (our!) second month of trying. It sounds daft, but I feel like my body has been waiting for me to be a mum for a little while now...

As for your AF, I can only say that I would imagine it takes your body a while to readjust - I seem to have been unusually lucky in this sense (on the other hand, when I came off the pill for a couple of months a few years ago I had a three week long AF!)

A relaxed attitude is a good thing to have though - I'm sure being stressed out can't help your fertility. Best Of Luck!

seanybosmummysfedupwaiting · 05/11/2009 20:14

Sorry everyone iposted same time as 2 others earlier and missed you out when i added myself to the list, didnt do it intentionally

Welcome newbies and good luck.
