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 :)

blushing someone on another thread, I think it was clucyducky didn't get a BFP until CD54 of a 30 day or so cycle. It ain't over til AF shows up.

Molly I'm so sorry to hear about your grandma but the medical boffins will be taking excellent care of her

Imaginary symptom #1 - my lower back is aching so badly I was hopping from foot to foot at work today to try and relieve it.

Awww blushing I really feel for you, this sounds rubbish :(

You have 2 DCs already, right?

How does this seem in comparison to the early days of previous pregnancies?

Unfortunately the truth is that that many BFNs could be wrong.

But there's probably no point in trying any more for a bit.

Sorry, I really don't know what to suggest. I hope you get some certaintly one way or another soon. :(

aw thanks - my periods have been pretty regular - longest has been 32 days

I have 2 other children - on them i didn't really try testing until at least CD40. It was nausea that tipped me off then

OK, well maybe the thing to do is wait until CD40 (when is that? you're already over a week overdue, so not too long) and pay heed to your nausea.

You mentioned you weren't feeling great, do you have that sensitive nose thing?

Blushing would it be worth going to the dr and getting a blood test taken?

Where does Jeremy Kyle get his guests? Does he stand outside Lidl with a big net?

weimy · 24/03/2011 15:05

How frustrating blushing !

Still no red and she has to show by tomorrow for me to stand a chance of staying on the bus, so am hedging my bets!

maybebabyR · 24/03/2011 15:19

Do we have any symptom spotting going on today? Smile

Tanif · 24/03/2011 15:23

maybe I have more pains than a greenhouse, does that count?

maybebabyR · 24/03/2011 15:25

Yes, I think that most definitely counts.

My lower tummy feels weird. Has done at this exact time for the third day in a row Hmm

Tanif · 24/03/2011 15:26

Define 'weird'...

maybebabyR · 24/03/2011 15:29

Like tightness and uncomfortableness. Good use of vocabulary there Smile

Tanif · 24/03/2011 15:31

Ooh, and only 9 days or so until you can test :D

BoogiesBunny · 24/03/2011 15:33

No symptoms to spot today - darn it!! Give me something to work with body!

DH just called me with a name suggestion if we have a boy (Freddy or Tommy). He is too sweet for words!

Youremindmeofthebabe · 24/03/2011 15:33

I feel sick after scoffing a maple and pecan swirl

Tanif · 24/03/2011 15:35

According to the doctor on Jeremy Kyle, sperm lasts 'at LEAST 7 days' in the female body. What's he on?!

maybebabyR · 24/03/2011 15:35

Ah, both good names boogies (my DH is a Tommy, so slightly biased!)

It will be along 9 days tanif Though I think I may have a slightly shorter cycle, as fairly sure I ovulated a little earlier. Though who knows?!

Tanif · 24/03/2011 15:37

Boogies would you have the full Thomas or Frederick on the birth certificate? DP is 'Tom' and it always seems lacking to me as I can't shout 'Thomas' at him when he's annoying me.

MollyDefoe · 24/03/2011 15:39

yeah, not much in the way of symptoms here, either, I'm afraid. I've had a dull ache in my lower abdomen for the last 4 days or so, which gets stronger occasionally; but after BFN this morning, I'm not holding out much hope.

Jeremy Kyle clearly thinks he has SuperSperm Hmm

BoogiesBunny · 24/03/2011 15:40

Tanif hmmm, good question. I think I'd go for the full names so I can get the full effect when I need it. I'm sure they won't be angelic enough to be Tommy or Freddy all the time.

maybebabyR · 24/03/2011 15:42

I agree with tanif my DH is a Thomas, so I get to use it a lot Smile

When was AF due molly?

MollyDefoe · 24/03/2011 15:45

It's not due until Monday...

And yes, I agree about having the option of unabbreviated names to use in anger! My DP is Pete almost all the time, but I and his mum are the only people who call him Peter - and only then when we're cross with him :)

Tanif · 24/03/2011 15:46

I'm envious, DP only knows I'm cross if I bring out the middle name. And if I tack his surname on the end, he knows to run for the hills.

maybebabyR · 24/03/2011 15:48

Haha, that made me Grin

There is still time molly don't give up hope yet Smile

sevendwarves · 24/03/2011 15:51

Congratulations nell

Blushing how frustrating, I second waiting a bit longer.

I'm 5dpo and starting the symptom spotting. Today's is that my boobs seem bigger but I definately haven't put on any weight. They're spilling over the top of my bra and even DH has noticed.

spidookly · 24/03/2011 15:57

Molly it's still very early days for a test. You can't read anything into that BFN. Test again tomorrow, you might have better luck :)

seven - enhanced cleavage is a good symptom :)

Although like most of them, not foolproof. orange had that and I was convinced she was up the duff.

Beware of spots - they were the first mark of doom for orange and me! :o
