I started another bus! I can't believe we got full so soon :o

From the last thread:
"He has said - 'no gym, no sex' - that'll do it!"

:o

OMG I love your DH, he sounds hilarious :)

Good news for the BFPs, bad news for the BFNs and torturous waiting for the rest of us...

Just checked the bank balance and gave myself a bit of a shock. Had to buy a new set of tyres for my car and DPs this month so it looks like we'll have plenty of time next cycle for lots of cosy nights in and swi if this month isn't our month!

I'm pretty sure the evil witch is winging her way to my door. The cramps haven't let up and last night I went ballistic with DP for giving me incomprehensible directions while I was driving...

Morning all, sorry about BFNs this morning. I feel really bloated today :(.

Tanif · 01/04/2011 10:38

Aww stitch is bloating a pmt symptom for you?

xstitch · 01/04/2011 10:41

Yes it is tanif but I don't have sore breasts yet and I usually do. I also have waves of nausea which I don't usually get. My body is confusing me a bit.

Tanif · 01/04/2011 10:42

It seems like our bodies enjoy playing cruel tricks on us. But I still have my fingers crossed for a BFP for you (and everyone else who hasn't been caught out already)

spidookly · 01/04/2011 10:45

Awww, sorry to lose you both going and Waiting :( (although love your contradictory names :o)

The rest of you will just have to wait before I count you out. Early BFNs and not feeling pregnant don't count for much. :)

xstitch - I think when you are paying such close attention to your body it's bound to confuse you. Every twinge is a possible symptom, so it's very hard to know for sure what's going on at this stage. It's a big of a mind melt.

Morning all.

Yay for the BFP popsy and sorry for the AFs showing up.

Ds has a temp and a cold that started the night before last. I have started with a sore throat and my temp when up to 36.9 degrees this morning. The trouble is I can deal with a sore throat but I don't want a temp when charting, going to muck things right up!

BlueCrane · 01/04/2011 11:58

Smile yay for popsy

Sad sorry to lose you going and thinking

And sorry for those feeling down...the 2ww is so tough emotionally. I've been trying to explain to DH that it just totally takes it out of you as everything that your body does makes you wonder Hmm he keeps telling me to chill out and relax but not so easily done!!

On the 'symptom' front I'm feeling v bloated, lots of CM and constant warm/damp feeling down there (sorry TMI), soooo tired and have a head ache/nausea but that might all be linked to pre-holiday overwork to get stuff finished! Am sure my boobs are feeling bigger but that has happened the last two cycles so can't really rely on that! Now 4DPO and going to try and hold off testing for another week...

peapop · 01/04/2011 12:06

Congrats for all the BFPs and so sorry for AF's.

I've been wiped out since Tuesday with an awful sickness/flu type bug. Feeling so weak and pathetic and a little gutted as haven't managed any SWI, although pretty sure it would be too early in cycle anyway but would be nice to get some practice in Wink

Poppyjen · 01/04/2011 12:07

Hi all just checking in - another BFN for me this morning (CD53) Sad but I seem to have EWCM so maybe my body is having another go at trying to ovulate, who knows Confused we'll SWI just in case Grin

Thanks for all of the birthday wishes for DS, it was a lovely day and brought back all sorts of memories from 12 months ago (some good some not so... smile] ) we've got lots of family descending upon us tomorrow for a little party which will be lovely.

Congratulations popsy ! Sorry to lose those who have been visited...probably see you soon on the January bus!

Tanif · 01/04/2011 12:27

I really must stop reading the Mail online. Its always doom and gloom about how everyone's infertile...

Tanif · 01/04/2011 12:40

Has anyone on here ever tried agnus castus? A friend of mine swears it got her up the duff while she was taking the pill but I'm not sure if it should only be taken until ov or if it should be taken right the way through the cycle. Every article on google seems to be contradictory...

sevendwarves · 01/04/2011 13:55

Sorry to those whose AF has arrived, those who have BFN's and those who are feeling down and fed up with the 2ww.

I'm managing to hold out well, I had a bit of a low down fluttery feeling earlier but won't buy a test until Wednesday if AF hasn't arrived.

scuffle · 01/04/2011 15:55

Hi there everyone,

Can I come aboard? This is 2nd cycle TTC #1. On day 14 of 27-29 UCL. CB OPKs all O so far and have had no SWI due to feeling rubbish for last week. Going to lock ourselves this weekend away, disregard OPKs & blindly hope it's not too late.

xstitch · 01/04/2011 15:56

Ok Now there are tests in the house so more strength will be needed.

BoogiesBunny · 01/04/2011 15:57

Well done seven - sensible woman!
Congratulations popsy!

I, meanwhile, have been considering the possibility that I got my ov date wrong. I had side pains on both 17th and 19th and as I came off pill at end of Feb (and had no withdrawal bleed) my AF date is a guess based on pre-pill days. So my testing this week cld be just a little early. Clutching at straws? Moi? Agh!

BoogiesBunny · 01/04/2011 15:58

Welcome scuffle!

Tanif · 01/04/2011 16:26

Gah! Just went to the loo and there's a single brown splotch in my underwear as well as discoloured cm. I don't spot before af, I always know it's here when I start gushing (tmi - sorry!) I know in my heart I'm setting myself up for disappointment but........

sevendwarves · 01/04/2011 17:01

Ooh tanif could be a symptom!

Welcome aboard scuffle, add yourself to the stats.

orangehead · 01/04/2011 17:38

Sorry going and waiting, could be good that you both feel different this cycle. Hopefully you both back to normal after pill.
Where you going on holiday waiting? Have a good time.
It not over yet Pink
Sorry your feeling poorly pea, hope you feeling better soon.
Tanif I tried taking it for about a month before ttc, not long enough, as my cycle and hormones are all screwed up. I have heard it supposed to be really good for sorting you out. But decided I couldnt wait to ttc any longer and was'nt sure if safe to take while ttc so stopped.
Fx tanif.
Thanks Seven, yes using fertlity friend. Did a bit of reading last night about it and realised disturbed sleeping can affect. All this week I have been sleeping terribly, have been waking every hour and not had much sleep (probably why I felt so down yesterday), also full of a cold. Didnt start temping till day 5. I feel very certain I have already ov but my chart is up and down and it not showing up. It would suit me if I already have as lots of swi at right time if Im right and non since due to dh ill, he still ill so swi unlikely in next few days. So decided I will carry on temping but going to ignore this month as sleep may have affected it. If I do that wont feel so bad that I might be missing vital swi now.

orangehead · 01/04/2011 17:41

But if it still not making sense next cycle I might be asking your opinion. But think best to think already ov as not alot I can do now (unless dh suddenly feels better tonight)
Welcome scuffle.

goingmadtrying · 01/04/2011 19:57

Ok am well confused today had some bleeding but only when wiping, boobs feel huge and are sore arrggghhh just have a feeling I'm pregnant even though bfn's what do you ladies think???

MickyLee · 01/04/2011 20:16

Welcome scuffle

Sorry to hear about spotting tanif and going hope they both turn out to be a symptom rather then AF.

Karbea · 01/04/2011 20:28

Evening all, gawd I'm happy that week is over, had a dreadful week at work, just wanna give up now and be a mummy Sad. one of my colleagues went on maternity leave today, our office is pretty dreadful as we are all about the same age and mostly women, so at the mo, we've 3 on maternity leave, 1 pregnant and 1 just recently back, I know at least 3 of us trying-depressing!

I think I'm giving up charting and just going to use my cbfm...

LB1982 · 01/04/2011 20:39
