Hi Bluenosesaint - of course you can join us. Welcome and fingers crossed for you. We are all also on the October and November threads if you haven't already introduced yourself there.

JTT - two under 2's and your trying for a third ! - well you are braver than me. I know I couldn't manage 2 or 3 that young at one time but know the closeness in age in later years is a real benefit.

BeckyJones - saw you on other thread. Hope you are doing ok and that you get the gp assistance you deserve this time.

KitKat & MrsMcJnr - How are you ladies today ??

Morning girls

All OK - felt really bloated yesterday and had faint cramps but no symptoms at all today. Trying not think about it too much!!

PinkB dont worry about the blue bread - the toaster would have killed off any germs anyway. (Glad it's not just me who has mouldy bread in the kitchen! )

Welcome all the new posters - nice to have so many on this thread! So is everyone going to test next week?!? I'm going to try and wait until next Sat....aaaages away!!

Morning KitKat - Lying in bed this morning thinking I won't be able to hold out much past next Thursday (which is earliest I can test). Would rather hold out until the following Monday so that my result is definite either way but I'm kidding myself that I might be able to wait until then (and all this only if AF doesn't appear meantime). I'm still feeling v queasy, still having periods of cramp and low dull back pain. I don't ever get PMS before AF really - just normally stomach cramp the day before or sometimes on the day and I know AF is just round corner. Again reading into symptoms that could be nout! Was sick three times last night too just before I was falling into bed (at 9pm!). Could be related to the mould, pg, or something else entirely ......... aarrgghhh - this is all driving me insane!! x

Yes, I know that sick is good and so are all my other symptoms if they are actually related to a pg but who knows ? Could be something else, could be a bug - so difficult not to take all these signs as positive because I will be so devasted if I let myself truly believe I could really be pg just to get a bfn!

I just tested!!! What a silly moo I am! Even if I was pg there would be no ++ 6 dpo. I am just feeling so washed out and icky that I thought maybe I had ov'd earlier that I thought and maybe was pg which would explain how ill i'm feeling.Had read on a thread that sometimes you get more than one LH increase in a cycle so thought I'd try. Neg of course and now I feel so crap and silly... and I wasted my only first response test so will need to go and buy more! Silly mooooooo!! DH and I are going on a "date" tonight so hopefully that will take my mind off things - need to do something as can't take another week or so of this obsessing!

Sorry for ranting - just needed a wee vent!!

I'm going to sign off for the day and try and put all baby related things out of my mind (though v difficult when feel so yuck!).

Hope you all have a lovely weekend. Speak soon. xx

KitKat30 · 14/10/2006 11:25

(just got back from Tescos)

Oh hon - am sorry, I know exactly how you feel. There's still every chance you could get a BFP in a few days - 6 days dpo is way too early. Have a fab time tonight and try not think about it too much. Chat Mon

JoeTwoTies · 15/10/2006 14:06

Pink Butterfly - So how was your night?

MrsMcJnr · 15/10/2006 14:39

Hello ladies, just wanted to pop in and say hello! Speak tomorrow

Hello Ladies

Well my date didn't happen!! DS2 waited til DH and I were all glammed and ready to go then threw up all over the place. Was sick all night regularly until 6am this morning and has been v lethargic and poorly all day today. He has just perked up a short while ago but after having had no kip all night and day I am shattered so hoping he will settle down soon. Certainly managed to take mind off poss pg. Also found out that my best friend's husband has told her he no longer loves her and they are splitting up. She has three kids (one of whom is my godson) which is obviously devastating (oh look I can spell it tonight!). Made me think I am so lucky to have my lovely family and should concentrate on that. Don't get me wrong still so want a new child and will still be testing on Thursday but going to be better focussed and not so obsessed! Hope you all had a lovely weekend. xx

Morning Kitkat - how was your weekend ? x

OP posts:
KitKat30 · 16/10/2006 09:27

W/e was OK - just couldn't think about anything other than the obvious! Still feeling a few (phantom?!) symptoms... cramping is v faint now, but felt pretty nauseous on and off all weekened, v thirsty (so consequently am peeing every 2 mins!), and I had this very odd sensation behind my belly button (like someone was poking it)... aaarrrghh! Wish I could stop analysing everything...

Poor your friend - she must be heartbroken. Does she think he's seeing someone else?

PinkButterfly · 16/10/2006 09:45

When are you testing KitKat - what's the earliest you can again ?

My friend is obviously devastated but holding things together better than I would be to be honest. They are going to have to sell house etc which is awful and even more of an upheaval for everyone. No, sure there is no-one else involved. He is actually a really good guy. Loves his family and gave my friend everything and anything she asked for - such a shame it's ended like this but I'm sure he wouldn't be doing it if he didn't feel it best for everyone in long run (though obviously doesn't feel like it now). Think it's much braver to do this than sit in an unhappy marriage just for sake of kids/home etc and I know he wouldn't have hurted my friend or his kids for the world unless he was truly sure - so sad.

OP posts:
MrsMcJnr · 16/10/2006 09:53

Your poor friends Pink Butterfly, I truly believe that I'll love DH forever and beyond, I would rather die than live without his love, dramatic but true but then again, I don't have kids to go on for yet.

KitKat - poor you, must be driving you mad! Hope you are pg.

Morning MrsMcJnr. Good weekend ?

OP posts:
KitKat30 · 16/10/2006 10:21

I'm going to cave and do a test tomorrow - way too early I know (only 10dpo) but at least I'll feel like I'm doing something!

How was your w/e MrsMcJ?

Original poster
PinkButterfly · 16/10/2006 10:24

ooohhhh - I can't wait for you.

I got pos 10dpo with DS2 so not too early as hormone levels may be high enough to detect.

What test are you going to use ? I always use the first response early test.

Will you come on and tell us right away in morning??? pleeeaaassseeee!!

OP posts:
KitKat30 · 16/10/2006 10:38

of course...! Unless I'm still weeping in my bathroom at the BFN of course...

Think I'll use that one too - is that the one with two lines? Want a second line no matter how faint!!!

Original poster
PinkButterfly · 16/10/2006 10:42

Yeah it's First Response, white and pink box - says can test up to 4 days earlier than expect AF. It's a line one and not a digital. Haven't ever used digital ones - think they are only for use on/after AF due ?

OP posts:
KitKat30 · 16/10/2006 10:56

I think you can use them before - it's just less accurate...something like 50% chance of it being wrong if you use it 4 days early (not that I've been reading up on the subject!). I bet I get a BFN...

Are you testing on Thurs??? Will that be 14dpo?

Original poster
PinkButterfly · 16/10/2006 11:01

Thurs is 11dpo for me. AF due next Sunday/Monday. Don't think I'll last much past Thursday but going to try and hold out. I have quite a lot on this week (after today) and DS1 off school for October week so maybe keeping myself busy will help me hold out.

OP posts:
MrsMcJnr · 16/10/2006 11:18

Thanks for asking ladies, weekend was good but far too short

KitKat - how exciting that you are testing tomorrow! I shall be waiting with baited breath.

KitKat30 · 16/10/2006 15:52

Thanks MrsMcJ - so convinced it's going to be neg though. Feel sure that I've just read far too much and am making myself have symptoms.

Will post tomorrow as soon as I know... keep everything crossed girls!!
