lol, at least i'm not the only one i reckon that if it wasn't for mners clearblue'd go bust. do you use ovulation sticks?

babylove123 · 17/12/2006 14:36

Hehe! Indeed! Thing is im 15 days late so getting a bit p'd off!!!

Hehe clearblue is a bit expensive....i bought a digital one so that i cld take a pic of it saying "pregnant" and thought i could send it in an email to friends!

I did use ov sticks but i consulted my doc and he said they suggest throwing them out because apparently physcologically (sp, sorry!) they make you ovulate not properly. So if i have to try again, i wont be using them!

Yep, neg. Doc said to leave it 2 weeks and do it again, some women apparently dont show till 8weeks +.......

Yeh driving me insane! The 1st day i was late, i was like - woohoo!!!!! Got to like 10 days and was like "hmn, still neg, better see doc!". He said it was unlikely i was pg but to not lose faith as some women can take 8 - 10 weeks till pos shows. Well its day 15, had chronic back ache for about 10 days, feels very weak, cant lift much. Had the funny taste (i think), no sickness yet and slightly sore boobs. and the tiredness, have that!!!

I am 3 days late now and have done about 10 tests over the last few days , I am not one for self-control... all negative

I keep examining my boobs for changes and I think I have prickling and tingling, although I am being completely hypervigilant because I want it to be true!!

I did fall asleep in an exhausted heap at 4pm and not wake up till 7, which is most unlike me

I wish it would just become clear one way or the other, this is bloody purgatory

I can't settle to anything, all the boring everyday things and Christmas jobs are there waiting to be done, and I can't do anything except keep prodding my boobs and tasting my saliva and sniffing really hard to see if I've got heightened smell.

SantaGotStuckUpTheGreensleeve · 18/12/2006 21:40

lol, I must be bloody unbearable company at the moment, dh is actually in the kitchen doing the washing up, which he NEVER does in the evening...I'm sure he's just finding excuses to get away from me and my enigmatic nipples
