Haven't been getting enough sleep recently (hectic social life for once!) and even though I caught up last night I'm still tired. Cruelly, many of the 'symptoms' of tiredness reflect those of pregnancy so I've felt nauseous, tired and tearful and I suspect DH is already congratulating himself of his super-sperm. Me, I'm not so sure. 3 or 4 SWI at the beginning of a cycle do not generally a baby make. I'm pretty certain I'm just running on empty and need more sleep.

According to the MN calculator I'm not even due to ovulate till the 21st ish, so we have some trying time left, but am not going to get all worked up at this stage (or so I keep telling myself).

Has anybody else got an inappropriate crush? I blame the fact that TTC is an even more lasting commitment to a man than marriage and my subconscious is rebelling by making me fancy DH's friends. I hope I get pg soon or I'm going to send myslef round the loop trying to not get caught up in TTC madness! lol

In cakes news I was v tearful and sad on Saturday and Dh was out all day, so my sis drove up from London to spend the day with me and we made chocolate crispie nests with mini eggs - just like childhood. She's a good sister.

goingmadtrying · 18/04/2011 09:46

Morning makescakes sorry to hear your feeling low, try and get a good nights sleep tonight and then hopefully you'll be in fine form for some more swi :)

lol on your inappropriate crush as a symptom of ttc although today was thinking just the same, can't share in rl so will tell you all here, I love my dh and would never do anything to jeapordise that but...... Recently I have been in contact with an ex partner who I had a very very very passionate and intense relationship some 15 years ago!!!! However it's started me thinking about our relationship and things we used to do and last night had a naughty dream about him Blush the thing is I don't even fancy him as he is now a expanding middle aged man lol someone slap me :)

MakesCakesWhenStressed · 18/04/2011 11:02

That's nothing. I've set my crush up with my sister to try and make him even more off limits! So glad it's not just me though :-)

blue22 · 18/04/2011 12:01

That's so funny re the crushes. I've been having exactly the same - ex boyfriend and work colleague! I'm so happy with DP so no need for this - but great to hear other people have the same and love that I can blame it on TTC!
Symptom spotting here - feel very nauseous and have metal taste in my mouth - but only CD21 so surely too early to have symptoms?? (Hopes others will say not too early!!) Grin

MakesCakesWhenStressed · 18/04/2011 14:09

Another point about the crushes - the pill demolished my libido which has come roaring back at pre-pill (ie: teenage) levels. perhaps it's just more than one tired, 30 year old man can satisfy...? Shame we can't have two at a time

CODwidow · 18/04/2011 14:31

Blue probably not too early for the metal taste!! Xx

blue22 · 18/04/2011 14:56

I think I love you COD Grin Grin
How are you feeling?

DarciesmumandBump2 · 18/04/2011 14:59

Blue I tested 4days early and got BFP and have done one everyday since incase its a fluke and its all in my head and all BFP so there is hope!

COD Hope your feeling better soon.

Olismum Welcome

I love Angel Delight, could just eat alot some of that Grin

ShaggingWithIntent · 18/04/2011 15:23

Congrats Darcies Can't believe how much has happened since I was last on here!!!

FX GMT when are you testing?

DarciesmumandBump2 · 18/04/2011 15:27

ShaggingWithIntent · 18/04/2011 16:05

Good thanks. Manic weekend getting everything together in time for our holipols this week!! :)

Now on CD7 too so getting VERY excited about the holiday SWI Wink

DarciesmumandBump2 · 18/04/2011 16:07

Have lots of fun :)

Looking forward to our holiday 3-4wks to go woohoo. I'll be 8wks then wonder if its okay to fly in your first trimester?

Liliana1 · 18/04/2011 16:13

Not having had #1 yet can't comment on cravings but I'm hoping if I ever manage to get pg that I'll have cravings for salads and all things healthy! Is this likely?!

Def into the 2 ww now. Was feeling abit sick at 2pm today - started hoping but then realised it was prob more to do with the fact I hadn't had lunch yet :( Jumping at every twinge but prob to early yet.

Not got any weird crushes but staying with my DH in the middle of nowhere and the only other man is 60+ so not alot of opportunity! Will be on the lookout when i go home Wink

DarciesmumandBump2 · 18/04/2011 16:29

Liliana you know you'll end up craving chalk or coal lol.

CODwidow · 18/04/2011 16:40

Getting there thanks blue, honest that was my first sign for my last ds, getting so excited for everyone and very secretly hoping I'll still get a bfp in the following month

olismum23 · 18/04/2011 17:41

i think i am going to try and relax this month maybe i will get my post xmas bundle of love, fx it works and there are loads of bfps on this thread :)

goingmadtrying · 18/04/2011 17:58

My libido has to come back after stopping the pill never realised it was a side effect have informed dh that will not be going back on it and after we have dc #3 he can have the snip Grin
to which after my rant last week about him not performing at the right time and his sperm swimming the wrong way he announced it was because I'd scared them at the thought of the op lol

OP posts:
DarciesmumandBump2 · 18/04/2011 18:01

EsmeWeatherwax · 18/04/2011 19:09

Suddenly we're all poas! I did one this morning, and bfn, so just waiting for af to come calling tomorrow. No symptoms at all, so fully expecting the old witch!
