Aww raven you sound a bit down in the dumps. I bet you will be pregnant soon.

CMD83 · 26/11/2010 16:53

Oh well, The red tide of doom arrived this morning. Back to the drawing board for me. Good luck everyone testing this week.

GetDownYouWillFall · 26/11/2010 16:56

Oh no CMD83 Sad Am very sorry to hear that. Bet I will be joining you on the next bus.

CMD83 · 26/11/2010 17:03

Thanks getdown Hope you'll get a positive, Someones bound to soon!

GetDownYouWillFall · 26/11/2010 17:03

Just tried to re-do the stats but MN threw me out! May be due to the hash signs? Notice that little pink box with a funny message down there....

KLou111 · 26/11/2010 19:07

Hi all

Been off here for a couple of days, you are busy bees! Just took me 20mins to catch up!

Welcome newbie's, sorry to those with BFN's.

Anyone testing with me Tuesday??

Been feeling really odd to normal, not sicky, just odd. Hoping it's good news :)

Got loads of snow today, feeling very cold at the moment in our house, can't seem to warm up (me not the house).

sillybillymummy · 26/11/2010 20:10

button I would LOVE twins. I think they're amazing. Maybe it would have been better as my 1st of 2nd preg - not 3rd though!

Oh ladies - i Confess, i have been weak. I poas today and it was a bfn. Hoping it was too early - but now i'm feeling like i'm about to come on :(

GetDownYouWillFall · 26/11/2010 20:29

Naughty sillybillymummy go and sit in the naughty early testers corner and think about what you've done! Grin

KLou welcome back, my AF's due the same day as yours, but I've not got any symptoms Sad so I might wait for AF rather than waste a test.... unless I get dramatic symptoms in the next couple of days

Glad to hear you've been feeling odd (IYSWIM) hope that is a good sign...

KLou111 · 26/11/2010 20:38

ditto sillybilly I would love twins esp with my first. Only want 2 and want them close together so this would be perfect!

I have non-identical everywhere.

DH Grandads uncle's were twins, my nan's sisters were twins (died at birth) and apparently (not sure if 100%) my dad's sister was one of a triplet and she was the only survivor.

I would love them.

100years · 26/11/2010 22:15

Had a near fainting incident at work today, cue a trip to the walk in centre, was checked over, he thought it was probably viral, recommended paracetamol, rest and a pg test. Did the test even though it was early, was BFN, you would have thought this would have cured my phantom symptoms, nope, still feeling the same and feeling off colour, nauseous and just wrong. Not sure if I thought it would be +ve or not, still waiting until either AF arrived or I get a BFP off a test, so I'm no further along than I was other than knowing this afternoon when I did the test I was not showing as pg.

KLou111 · 26/11/2010 22:55

May be too early 100 as your not due til 28 Nov-5 Dec. Might not show yet if is +

myweeangel · 26/11/2010 22:58

Can I join? I'm hopeful that I'm pregnant.
Can't remember when last period was (been so mild since having daughter Oct 2009!), so don't know whether dates add up but think due period next weekend. Been quite crampy and tired for last week or so but worried I'm just convincing myself I'm pregnant! Tiredness could be because hubby has broken arm and can't do a thing... :)
Really hoping I'm still gonna catch August bus. Anyone advise me best day to do a test? (we prob conceived on 13/11, sorry if TMI!)
Good to be in understanding company esp as we aren't telling a soul we're trying! xo

buttonmoon78 · 27/11/2010 07:36

Hi angel - anytime from now onwards should give you a good indication. Get two so then you can check a few days later if it's a -ve.

Raven - you sound really down. It will happen one day. I'd open the wine and send you some but for obvious reasons I can't (I mean, the sun's not over the yard arm yet is it? Wink) so you'll have to make do with hot chocolate with marshmallows & cream. Oh, and a cake. And possibly a hug...

myweeangel · 27/11/2010 08:25

Buttonmoon - thanks. I see yours is good news! Congrats! First? Hope you're keeping well.
Did test this morning, feeling so PMT-y! BFN as you say around here. :( Will try again in a few days if I can wait that long. Don't they say symptoms are easier to identify second time around? Feeling more tuned in, hope I'm not wrong.

buttonmoon78 · 27/11/2010 09:05

First? No, fourth!

The second time round thing is true for some but not for others. I've never had ms until this one (is not really sickness, just a touch of nausea but it's lots worse today).

Never really had sore boobs either!

Tiredness is my main one. We began to watch the Untouchables last night. I saw the opening credits, saw gorgeous Robert de Niro get shaved then I was out for the count!

buttonmoon78 · 27/11/2010 09:05

Sorry, meant to say, hang in there. Test again Mon/Tue.

queenrollo · 27/11/2010 10:34

after a night like last night i question my sanity over having another child. I have had three hours sleep.....one when i went to bed and two between the hours of 6 and 8. After spending an hour in DS bed with him in the early hours because he was 'scared' i couldn't get back to sleep.

So there goes my night out tonight, anxiety issues mean being in a crowded, noisy pub when sleep deprived is a huge no! I'm not likely to get back to bed today for a nap either as DP has stuff he needs to do.

[fed up emoticon]

myweeangel · 27/11/2010 11:57

Ta again buttonmoon, got serious cramping going on at mo which never happens til period actually comes, will keep you all informed when I try early in the week.
Haha your Untouchables story made me laugh - I had to watch films on saturday mornings during last pregnancy - no way would I stay awake after dinner!!!

100years · 27/11/2010 12:26

[fed up emoticon] but less fed up than I thought I would be. Had some bleeding last night, usual pre period blood, so I'm thinking AF is going to get me very soon. Can't see it being anything other than pre period tbh. Technically this was only the first cycle as last month we jumped a bit late to be caught, so I would have been mega lucky to have been caught on the first month, but you still wish you would!

OP posts:
GetDownYouWillFall · 27/11/2010 13:45

So sorry for you queenrollo I have had many sleepless nights with DD and it's awful Sad. Like you I always struggle to get back off to sleep if I've had to get up for her in the night. Somehow they seem to just fall asleep again instantly, and I end up lying there for hours!!
Hopefully tonight will be better.

myweeangel - fingers crossed for you. Cramping and no AF is a good sign.

100years it may not be AF.... hope not for you. As you say it's your first cycle so try not to be too disappointed if it's a no this time round. Sure your time will come soon.

I thought I had a very mild crampy feeling earlier but it's gone now Confused Still don't feel that this is our month, but not giving up the hope quite yet....

ravenlocks · 27/11/2010 13:58

Thanks for the positive thoughts and for the calorific goodies, feeling better already! I am feeling positive for this cycle, the changes I am making are EPO and no booze for either DH or I - his idea this time - I had suggested it before and been re-buffed. Last night was our first sober weekend night in, bit boring if I am honest with you! Also stocked up on pre-seed and have loads of OPK sticks and started temping again. BRING IT ON!

Welcome weeangel and sorry CMD83 - wishing you loads of luck next time.

Xx

GetDownYouWillFall · 27/11/2010 14:04

Sounds good raven I went all out this cycle too, after the disappointment of last cycle - temping, OPKing, preseed, grapefruit juice and lots of SWI!

Unfortunately I don't feel this is our month, but we'll see... will prob wait till thurs to test if no AF by then.

Hope this is your cycle! Whenever I buy a pack of sanitary towels now I think - maybe this will be the last pack!

mslk · 27/11/2010 15:23

Sorry AF got you CMD83

Good luck for Tues KLou111 I'm going to try and hold out until Weds

Welcome newbies

100years and myweeangel fingers crossed it was too early

Hugs for everyone feeling low or fed-up

myweeangel · 27/11/2010 18:01

Thanks everyone, great to have this support. My hubby would be delighted if we were pregnant but he hates to see me get my hopes up so wouldn't entertain me going on and on and on... Good luck everyone else trying this week. :)
