There's only one question on my mind: Am I pregnant? Did it happen this time? But no-one can tell me! Am only 5dpo so def no way of telling. Sitting symptom spotting and troughing down mini eggs thinking, could be pg/likely to be pms. Not even like I expect anyone to be able to give any advice or look into crystal balls...just wanted to say on here, I find it quite annoying. Roll on next week...

Sounds annoying, although the change in boob size and comfort sounds positive , hopefully this month is your month. ~still waiting for curry, now eating toffee crisp~ :s

Managed to turn him on his side and we both slept then. Just tested, bfn however temp is still high (15 in a row) so jury is still out. Was v excited by a line til I realised it was wrong way round! Dam evaporation line!!

Brilliant news about the boobs and high temp, Bex. Managed to avoid testing this morning, but there's still no hint of blood, which is good.

I hope your DH isn't too hungover this morning! And that Dizzy's curry turned up.

DizzyKipper · 23/04/2011 09:37

1 more day to get through and you can test Griselda Smile

Bexamundo · 23/04/2011 10:03

Boobs spilling out of vest top!
Griselda you have a lot if patience as your name says! Feels like you've been expecting af forever!
Dh is a bit rough but loves me muchly for buying him chocolate hobnobs!
What are your plans for today ladies?

OP posts:
PatientGriselda · 23/04/2011 10:11

Outwardly: paint shed, mow lawn, buy things for Easter lunch tomorrow, make summer pudding.

Inwardly: choose baby names, decorate an imaginary nursery, write a birthplan, attempt purely through the power of my mind to hold off period!

What about you?

Bexamundo · 23/04/2011 10:19

Outwardly: cut edges, go to b&q to buy strimmer, finish tidying nurseryspare room, have a nap to recharge wire to prepare for (sober) night out with work.
inwardly: think foetus with names already chosen, and all the others you said!

Realised I have no idea: are we all ttc baby #1? Dh and I have been together 4 years married 2.5. Started ttc Christmas 2010 when Dnephew was 4 months old and Dh realised if Dnephew loved him (and trust me, his uncle is his favourite person!) Maybe he would be an ok dad. So it's been 16 months and I think 17 cycles but we can't count a couple cos last May we argued all month and didn't dtd! :s and with the stress didn't try from Feb to now (officially) cos the stress was getting to us and we needed a break. If it isn't a bfp will be actively trying every other day [buhmm] once the evil witch has left!

Just weighed myself and found I gained 4lb since Thursday. That's 2lb per boob then.

OP posts:
DizzyKipper · 23/04/2011 12:37

Working from 3, just doing a little housework and relaxation til then.
Will also be continuing to try and delude myself that hopefully this could be the one, and will continue to recount how many days I have left to get through til AH arrives (today and tomorrow)

And yes ttc #1 here too.

PatientGriselda · 23/04/2011 12:39

Hahaha at " nursery spare room"

Yes, ttc#1 here too. Together 7 years and trying since end of 2009. Have got first infertility consultant appointment at the end of next month, so hopefully I will have one of those ironic bfps now instead!

Bexamundo · 23/04/2011 12:50

Well it's encouraging that the evil witch still hadn't turned up! I tried to garden, done about 45 mins now feel awful so chilling with some water. May drum up energy to wash car...

OP posts:
DizzyKipper · 23/04/2011 12:53

Mm, it's weird - before I got with OH I never even wanted kids - was always frightened I'd be an awful mum and just end up screwing them up. Ever since I got with him I've been taken over by these powerful, instinctive desires to procreate Shock. Plus he's given me the confidence to think maybe I won't be such a terrible mum after all (although I'm sure that's not what they'll be telling me when I don't allow them sweets before bedtime or something! lol).
Been with him about 3 1/2 years now, time to stop waiting and start being a mum methinks!

DizzyKipper · 23/04/2011 12:54

Does sound encouraging so far bex, although hopefully once BFP is confirmed the symptoms will subside and you won't feel so awful anymore.

Bexamundo · 23/04/2011 12:56

In terms of the nurseryspare room got Dh to three to decorate it un neutral colour so when baby arrives can just add border to match! Off to.b&q to chose later :)

OP posts:
Bexamundo · 23/04/2011 13:02

*agree not three!!! And a neutral colour. Oh dear!

OP posts:
Bexamundo · 23/04/2011 13:24

Been looking at charts on FF with early ovulation/ late +hpt convincing myself it's still possible. Happily having a siesta watching 'Singing in the rain'!

OP posts:
Bexamundo · 23/04/2011 14:07

*dizzy think we overlapped! Dh's parents were not the best and it worries him he'll turn out like that too. He's nothing like them! Bless him.
I've always been maternal just waited for right man/right time.
How old is everyone? I'm 29 and Dh is 26 (whippersnapper). I'm 30 in August. Wanted first baby before I'm 30 but willing to adjust plans and have baby when I'm 30!

Hi all,
Hope it's OK to join your conversation.
I'm ttc #1 and I too am in middle of 2WW. I've tested once so far (bfn) (yesterday, 6 days before expected period)
I have been symptom spotting too and have made myself promise not to test today - I am determine to wait til tomorrow, although I have all sorts of tests in the house (ones for 6 days early, one for 5 days early and a couple of digital 4 days early, as well as a cheap box from Wilkos (2 for £2) only to be done after a missed period!!) Talk about prepared/ obsessed!!
Hope all of you have some luck. I was PG in Jan but miscarried v early. Reading this conversation has made me feel less silly for obsessing!

Bexamundo · 23/04/2011 14:24

Hello, welcome Byrnsie. We'll need you to be very specific about the obsessing, it helps us all.
To add to my symptoms today, dry mouth and shaky hands. Dry mouth can't be due to dehydration. Nope, not that!

OP posts:
Byrnsie30 · 23/04/2011 14:54

Well my obsessing includes not eating/drinking anything which may be off limts on the off chance I may be PG. Also, after my early MC in Jan I did some obsessive research about beauty products and I now vary my body lotion and shower gel so as not to get too much of one ingredient!!

I am currently symptom spotting and have so far noticed/imagined fatigue, very slight nausea in morning (could also be hunger!), spotty face (prob pre-menstral!) and slight sensitivity in stomach area!! Oh dear!

PatientGriselda · 23/04/2011 14:55

Hi Byrnsie! Yes do join in - we're just nattering, and could do with someone else in the mix, to give us ideas for fresh things to obsess over to keep things interesting. How long have you been doing this for? By te way, I am particularly impressed with your test stash.

I have added vivid dreams to my list. Nothing at all to do with rich food late at night at all. Definitely not.

PatientGriselda · 23/04/2011 14:57

As for our to do lists, so far I have managed the shopping trip and the summer pudding making, and have got the lawnmower out, but since then have just sat in the garden giving myself

PatientGriselda · 23/04/2011 14:58

...giving myself over entirely to the other list.

Byrnsie30 · 23/04/2011 15:00

Been properly trying since Jan, but when I went to doc when I was PG she thought I was about 6 wk preggers. I MC'd a few days later and we had a 6 wk break so been trying properly again since March. I'm a very impatient person! I will probably bankrupt myself buying tests!
How long is it for you?
