Just checking in with today's latest. I poas this morning, still BFN. I totally wasted my last two sticks as I dropped one and it went past that little black line so I had to use the last one.

Promptly followed by a bulk order on ebay! That will stop by poas addiction until they arrive at least Smile

I've had sore knees today, Dr Google reckons that could be a sign, so that's good enough for me. Ignoring the fact I can feel the onset of AF

coffee and Mushi I hope so too!

Not long before this thread gets its first BFP I hope!

C999875 · 23/05/2013 20:35

Hi Tinypolkadot. You certainly learn something new everyday. I had no idea that sore knees could be a sign of pregnancy. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. xx

Beccadugs · 23/05/2013 21:40

No way tinypolkadot I have sore knees too! What about cagey shoulders?!

Beccadugs · 23/05/2013 21:54

Or achey shoulders! My shoulders are not cagey!

tinypolkadot · 23/05/2013 21:59

Ha ha becca I was scratching my head over cagey shoulders! I suppose maybe joint pain in general could be a symptom? I'm sure Dr Google can back us up! Grin

I honestly do learn something new everyday c99 I'll be an expert by the time I get my bfn

tinypolkadot · 23/05/2013 22:00

Tut. I'm obviously so used to tying bfn that's my natural go to acronym. I meant my BFP!

Beccadugs · 24/05/2013 09:40

Tiny if you start telling us your over the moon because you finally got your BFN we will all be very confused!!

Also please can you tell me where to find the dr google knee pain confirmation? DH is an unbeliever!

Hello ladies!

Well half term is nearly here YAY!

I've been getting all excited today because of my pregnancy symptoms. I felt nauseous, have terrible backache and am tired with a headache. Then I remembered that I'd skipped lunch, rushed breakfast so my stomach was a little unsettled until I ate. I also remembered that I'd worked till 12:30am last night when I'd fallen asleep on the sofa and woke at 5am - which could possibly explain the the rest of the symptoms. Blush

Ah well - Just 4 or 5 more days till AF.

Coffee1Sugar · 24/05/2013 15:41

Half termmmmm Grin Oh wait, 28 reports to enjoy. Dd's 3rd birthday party tomorrow. Please cross all body parts (not legs Wink) for sunshine xx

flowerandrandd · 24/05/2013 21:47

I'm ok, I suffered 7 episodes of this prior to dd1, I loose a lot of blood when miscarrying and during childbirth so I know what's normal I just feel sad and questioning whether or not I chance this again x

Monstamio · 24/05/2013 21:55

So sorry to hear that flowers. Wish I had some words of wisdom. Sending hugs your way

tinypolkadot · 24/05/2013 21:59

Wish I could offer some wise words too. My mum always says no one knows your body better than you, so I'm sure you will make the right decision either way flower. Take care of yourself x

Hi Flowerandrandd. Sending lots of symathy empathy and comfort.
Sorry for the delay in offering my support. I've not checked the thread for as few days.
Vertual hugs c99. xxx

Oh flower, how utterly rotten for you. Sending healing vibes and virtual cake/chocolate/crisps/wine/vodka (delete as appropriate)

tinypolkadot · 25/05/2013 17:26

Hi everyone. I'm pretty confident I have a bfn this month. AF has reared her ugly head in the form of the usual spotting I get before hand. I have also poas twice just to be sure, both a bfn, and one was a superdrug cheapie too.

At least it means I can enjoy a few wines with our anniversary dinner dh is cooking me this evening. We also go on holiday at the end of the week, so two weeks of food, drink and relaxed dtd here I come! Grin

coffee hope the bday party went ok. Mini mouse shaped sandwiches sound amazing, and I almost feel the need to see a photo of that! Smile

Becca I think this is the Google search I ran on knees. I guess my bad knees weren't a sign afterall. I genuinely felt like I was falling apart last month!

flower hope you are feeling better today

Tilson78 · 25/05/2013 18:02

Hi ladeez, is there room for a big'un? I have been ttc since March 2013. I am 35, DH is 37, and this is our first time. I've been charting since coming off the pill in August 2012 and know my cycle pretty well now. However, I am considering trying OPK for the next cycle and would love to know your thoughts. I finding charting pretty stressful - when it comes to ovulating I have around 5 potentially fertile days to try and target, but with OPK, you have a more specific 48 hours to know you're most fertile?

Anyway, Im just glad to have found this page as my neurosis knows no bounds during the 2WW!! And Im just entering it now! Yikes. Also, I found out today that using lube is a real no no when ttc. Doh! Been using that every single time (Liquid Silk). Any thoughts on that would also be amazing. I've heard mixed reviews about pre-seed...

Thanks all! Tara for now.

C999875 · 25/05/2013 19:35

Hi Tilson78. Please allow me to be the first to welcome you on board. xx

Coffee1Sugar · 25/05/2013 20:59

Tilson, hi Grin Dp and I regularly use lube ( a Love Honey water based one) because I've only very recently gathered confidence to have sex again after wait for it...3 years since suffering a horrendous tear and birth. I rely on the lube tbh. Interesting to read about pre-seed. Is there a reputable website you'd recommend?

OP posts:
C999875 · 25/05/2013 21:07

Do I dare to embarrass myself and ask "what is pre seed". It's probably something so obvious but I've never heard of it. xx
