Oo Bart I took a 'surely not' pregnancy test with DS because I couldn't fasten my bra! Fingers crossed!

LittleMachine · 26/06/2013 23:00

I'm symptom spotting at 4dpo. Superhuman smell!

lovelygreen · 26/06/2013 23:39

I'm definitely sure it's far too early but I've been freakishly tired, dizzy and had a weird metallic taste in my mouth the past 3 days. If this is all in my head its very strange!

Beccadugs · 26/06/2013 23:58

Bart me too
Trying to blame spilly over tits on too many chips, but no explanation for weird mild cramps twinge feelings.. It also hurts when I suck in...
Promised no spotting... Oops

SunshinedreamIng · 27/06/2013 01:18

I am trying to do the samegilly Smile. Trying to preserve my sanity as last month I was symptom spotting like mad and was convinced am preggers... No such luck for me then, so now just trying to take it easy and vowed not to buy any pregnancy tests and just wait till the day when AF is due and then I will see if I need to test at all!
blue. It could be implantation bleeding as your AF is not due for another week and leading was light and have now stopped, good luck!

Welcome to all newbies!Flowers

Still have a smiley flashy on Clear blue dig - Thats 3 days Hmm but I would say I oved last night due to CM so DTD last night and am now on 2WW. Is it wrong that I am now working out when I can POS lol!

Vikkijayne2507 · 27/06/2013 07:26

Bart my boobs are also bigger really starting to have issues with bras will have to buy a new one which i find very odd if this is the case every time I ov if i am not prg. will this mean my boobs will reduce in size and increase every month how very impractical if so. Hoowever its so unlikely as its my first month off the pill im thinking the pill was preventing my boobs being the size they want to be. Anyone have this when coming off the pill????
I havent had any twinges tho and am on 9 dpo getting antsy waiting....

DisneyDiva87 · 27/06/2013 07:49

I had the opposite vicky and I was glad of it. I went from 30FF to 30DD and now I can buy cheaper bras in M&S again! I always put weight on with the pill but I think a pal of mine lost weight cause it reduced her appetite. Maybe that's what happened to you?

I think I'm now in the 2ww but only managed to DTD once so far with mum and dad being over so I'm not hopeful. It actually feels quite relieving to know that it's useless to symptom spot Smile we'll see how long that lasts though.

Sorry to hear about your mc omama I hope the next one is a sticky one for you.

FoxMulder · 27/06/2013 08:24

I too am on day 3 of flashing smiley seatfor5 Very annoying, I was hoping for a solid one today. We would never normally do sex midweek. When I get home all I want to do is eat, watch the tennis and sleep. Work: it's a right passion killer.

All this talk of boobs getting bigger definitely sounds like a symptom to me. I didn't have any symptoms whatsoever last month and I was indeed preg. But mind you that's probably got a lot to do with why it didn't last too long. I don't want my boobs to get bigger...I like being flat chested. It's very convenient.

lindamagoo · 27/06/2013 08:35

Morning ladies Grin Well myself and the oh had a long chat last night and we've decided we won't be ttc any more, quite heartbreaking but everything we talked about made sense, we've got 2 gorgeous sons that we never expected 2 have and we are just going to focus on great holidays and exciting things with them Grin We dtd on cd9, cd11, cd12 and cd13 this month though so we might still be in with a chance, if not I'm out for good Hmm

ksrwr · 27/06/2013 08:38

Omama, i'm sorry to hear what's happened. the very same thing happened to me in January - MMC at 11 weeks. Turns out its quite a harrowing experience. I really hope you're ok. I've only just started TTC again this month, a few other things got in the way - i.e. husband absent. Really hope that as my doctor told me, the fact that your body held onto the foetus for so long is a good sign, it means its good at being pregnant. Lets hope we both have BFPs very soon.

PurpleGeekyGirl · 27/06/2013 09:01

My boobs fluctuate so much during my cycle, at least a cup size after ov and pre af. Since having ds they have grown from a B cup to FF Shock

Linda hugs. We are in the not supposed to be getting stressed about ttc phase... I have a ds from my marriage and tbh am a bit ambivalent about starting all over again, but dp wants kids and I do want one with him, just not looking forward to the baby days again. After 9 months of ttc and a mc I am trying very hard to stay positive but a lot f me at the mo is just thinking isn't life good as it is, I can't take much more heartbreak or ss or horrendous periods!

lindamagoo · 27/06/2013 09:10

Purple it's the same for me, life is great just now and it was my oh who suggested another baby but I was wanting it aswell but if I'm honest I was more wanting just to be pregnant again then have the baby skip to 2 yrs old, lol. It would affect our boys massively if we had another one aswell, think we were just jealous of all our pregnant friends right now and being rather selfish

FoxMulder · 27/06/2013 09:58

Ah Linda, sorry to hear that. It can't have been an easy decision.

lindamagoo · 27/06/2013 10:06

The toughest Fox but the right one. I've already got a few illnesses that I developed in both my pregnancies and I'm on meds for life with them and chances are they'd get worse next time Hmm In all the excitement I never really thought things through, but I'm not down about it cause I know it's the right thing to do Smile I'll be hanging around til af shows up this time and I'll check in now and then to see how everyone else gets on Smile

DisneyDiva87 · 27/06/2013 10:23

That makes me a bit sad Londa I was looking forward to us having the baby journey together. At least you are at peace with your decision, even if it is depressingly sensible Wink.

Stick around a while or we'll miss you!

lindamagoo · 27/06/2013 10:27

I'll defo stick around Dosney Smile Couldn't go without seeing you all get your bfp's Smile And you never know, now that we've changed our minds I might get mines this month, wouldn't that be ironic, lol Smile

ChubbyKitty · 27/06/2013 10:36

I keep getting pale lines on my OPKs, they've got slightly darker but still not a fully formed pink line. It's like it's there, it's just not quite ready to come out of hiding yet.

Also Linda that's a very hard decision and well done you for being able to make it! I would have dilly dallied with it like a nutterGrin

DisneyDiva87 · 27/06/2013 15:43

Are you using FMU with your opk Kitty?

You have more chance of being upduffed this month than any other month simply because you decided to stop Londa! I'll secretly keep my fingers crossed that you do get a BFP this month but it's secret cause you decided not to keep trying!

lindamagoo · 27/06/2013 16:01

Dosney I've secretly got my own fingers crossed too, but if I'm not then I'll get a puppy, lol. When we stopped trying the last time I got pregnant and we'd only dtd once that month before we decided to stop so you never know Smile

BartBaby · 27/06/2013 18:16

Sounds like your -ve opk will be here soon kitty Smile

linda that must have been such a hard decision for you to make. Well done to you for being so sensible about it all. I doubt i could!

Well i gave in and poas this morning. And im still no better off for it Hmm ive spent the whole day trying to decide whether the v v v faint barely there line was even there at all or if it was a shadow or if im just seeing things! Im not holding my breath anyways...

onelittlepiglet · 27/06/2013 18:53

Ooo bartbaby fingers crossed for you! Hope the next test you do is more definite.

Quick question - my cycles are usually around 33 days but the last one was 27 (weirdly) I want to start using opks - should I start testing from about day 10? I know that if I have a longer cycle this might be a bit early, but as I ovulated on day 13 last month I'm worried about missing it. What do you think?

MummyPig24 · 27/06/2013 18:54

Just checking in. Haven't been around a whole lot because I don't really know if I'm doing it right and feel like a right novice. No idea what smep is and all of that. I don't have a great feeling that this month is our month. If its not then I will invest in some ovulation tests and try and do it properly. Good luck everyone, July is just around the corner!

MummyPig24 · 27/06/2013 19:07

Linda I will be sorry to see you go but I understand where you're coming from.

BartBaby · 27/06/2013 19:16

Hi piglet cd10 should be ok based on a 27 day cycle. Ive been using a 27day cycle to work mine out and tbh ive used internet cheapies for days 8 and 9. And then the smilies day 10 onwards. Ive always ov on day 14. So day 10 should be ok esp if you have longer cycles sometimes.
