Okay just so there are not excessive lists.... The next person that adds their name / date could they please also move drink to the right place
Now I shall promise to stop being the list police

:)

StarkyTheDirewolf · 07/01/2016 22:34

I'm back! Have been making bunting for my dsis birthday next week! Only a little piece but I've just remembered I forgot to get double sided fabric adhesive so I can't put her name on it yet! 🎉🎊

Loving the list and welcome newbies! Right! So now we are organised! Who is feeling what? Symptoms?

Both my boobs hurt now, and I'm cramping up a treat! Although I feel much less sick this evening. Snotty/sniffly nose and the epic weeps! 4 days till af is due.

OP posts:
LillianFullStop · 07/01/2016 22:35

oh no kat - now that you've pointed it out i can't stop looking ... maybe i should update it but just preview the message instead of posting it

So I did a silly thing (I couldn't help it!) and POAS 2 days before AF due - just now. and yes I know it's not FMU... it was BFN of course BOOOO... now need some of this ChocolateChocolate. just re-read instructions and it said to only do 5 seconds... what happens if it goes for more than 5 seconds?

AllyBali123 · 07/01/2016 22:46

Ive been feeling crampy all night...usually don't cramp this early (10 days before af) but that's it really! No other symptoms yet...Hmm

Chocaholic88 · 07/01/2016 22:56

Erm my symptom list:

Fatigue
Nausea
Can't smell coffee, bacon etc
Sore-ish boobs (I'm tiny up top so odd to be sensitive)
Snot type CM a few times this week sorry for tmi
Metallic taste in my mouth
Dizziness
Insomnia
Darkened nipples
As of yesterday mild constipation
Cervix has lift up but still closed
There are probably more, I just can't remember them! Lol

AllyBali123 · 07/01/2016 23:02

That's a good list chocoholic fingers crossed its all a good sign!!

I'm starting to think maybe my cramping is just wind BlushConfused lol

Feefeefs · 07/01/2016 23:16

Me and indi have fallen off the end of the list I'm due to test the 3rd and have become feel which seems appropriate Wink
I think indi was the 5th.

Chocaholic88 · 07/01/2016 23:32

Thanks ally ... I've had a mix of positive and negative results hence the blood test tomorrow... the weekend is going to take forever I fear!! Not sure when I'll get the results but it'll be next week :-/

KatOnATinRo0f · 07/01/2016 23:48

^Will update list tomorrow am tired of list making tonight!
^
Omg.... Choc is definitely upduffed!!!
And I bet stark is too after her patient waiting!!

Symptoms:
-sore boobs (Prob AF)
-gone off tea (but taken a weird liking to coffee which I've never drank more than once a month before...) think im just tired
-mild abdo cramp on and off (again either wind or AF)
-fatigue (but it's January and apparently I have to start getting up early again)
-I'm feeling really moody and pissed off today (now that is the witch surely... Even though she's early)
I had some promising CM last week but that seems to have dried up (which is normal for unfertilised cycle I think)

So nothing very convincing for me I'm afraid
Off to sleep. Night all Thanks

Ni4444 · 08/01/2016 00:11

Hmm...CD30 of expected 33day cycle and I now have spotting tonight. Is it early AF?... In a jolly mood tonight so being a fantasist and thinking it could be implantation?! (probably 10dpo) Oh a girl can dream Star

Thanks for the list ladies

Symptoms last few days are very gentle cramps or little left pelvic pain. Couple of nights of hot flashes. Not very weepy or teary, not irritated by OH either. Not much going on!

LillianFullStop · 08/01/2016 00:13

Ni I had that yesterday too at 31 of 33CD! AF yet to show. Was so convinced it was implantation that I POAS but got a BFN this evening Blush.

Might wait til a few days after AF is due now to try again (due 9-Jan)

StarkyTheDirewolf · 08/01/2016 00:24

choc I do feel like you're totally preggers! Fx for blood test results.
kat this wait has been eternal! I am in purgatory! But I feel more and more like af is approaching. (I know I'm not out yet, as is our motto) But I'm feeling like af is going to be here before Tuesday! Which I suppose is a bonus, because that would shorten my cycle by a couple of days! Which means I may get another fertile week before Dh starts dieting/cutting properly meaning salt baths and saunas pretty much daily but if not the next proper "go" I get will be after May, and it will take a couple of months for his body to recover, so I'm mentally preparing myself for that!

Fx for anyone testing in the morning, I'm off to bed, night all 😊

And canters if you get a spare moment on your honeymoon,hope you're having an amazing time! 👰

OP posts:
Ni4444 · 08/01/2016 00:24

Ah! Interesting Lillian! Do you usually spot in the days before? I never do. AF supposed to be due 10th for me although cycle 1 off pill was 32, cycle 2 33, so I guess it could just be early this month must not get too excited

LillianFullStop · 08/01/2016 00:33

Ni I very rarely spot before AF and when I do AF comes immediately after - that's why it's strange it hasn't reared its witchy head yet. I'm not out til I'm out!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 08/01/2016 01:47

Going to bed went out the window! I can't sleep again! I've got a some kind of wind/cramp combo and I can't figure out which it is! But my boobs are SOLID, like, I could take a bitch OUT with a well timed tit slam right now! And my nippes have amalgamated with metal and are some kind off razor wire/glass mix. Good times for me! Grin

OP posts:
StarkyTheDirewolf · 08/01/2016 02:59

Oh God! The weeps! When will they end?! I just genuinely nearly cried because someone on a telly programme met Mary Berry and I thought it would be lovely to meet Mary Berry I would have to curtsey . I've gone mad. I am slightly concerned about myself! Grin

And im helping at a nursery rhyme singing session with under 2's tomorrow morning. There's no hope for me!

drinkyourmilk · 08/01/2016 06:54

starky when are you testing? Cause we are all convinced you is upduffed!

I have no symptoms what so ever this month. My only change from the norm is I'm getting up to pee 4 or 5 times a night. (Thats between 1130 ish and 6) I'm knackered! I think it's too early in my cycle to have symptoms anyhow.

Thanks drink!

Omg stark is totally upduffed. With all those symptoms there is no way I could wait so long!

I'm feeling out this month wish the witch would hurry up so I can get on the feb bus. Going to sit with my friend who had her little one in October this morning... I'm on baby-duty while she has beauty treatments. I might cry he's so adorable.

Jamjar12 · 08/01/2016 07:48

I feel like these OPKs are actually teasing me on purpose now. Been getting these for a few days now but never stronger. Gah.

My lovely nerdy DH last night said he thinks conception is 'a bit like blowing up the Death Star- your guys have to go through all the tunnels to get to the centre, avoiding all the obstacles and gun turrets that my hostile innards through at it, and then Boom- contact'

I can't really get that image out my head now. It's a bit odd!

TTC#1 Thread 5. The one where we actually got to January 2016! NOW you can start! TMI alert throughout.
Chocaholic88 · 08/01/2016 07:55

Oo remembered some of the symptoms I forgot when I posted last night seeing as I currently have them

Extreme thirst
FAR more hungry than usual
Odd tugging feeling behind belly button
Mild back ache
And the odd stomach cramp too (like AF but not painful)

Back on the 29th and 30th had 2 lots of EWCM with a hairline blood tinge through

Just did two Internet cheapies... Nothing. Not even a squinted in the 5 mins it said to read it in. Thrwe the unhelpful little gits in the bin and will just sit tight for the blood results. Soooooo confused 😨😨😕😕

firstgo1984 · 08/01/2016 07:59

jamjar I had the same yesterday. But then it faded a bit once it dried then next one was paler

Evergreen15 · 08/01/2016 07:59

Aghh pissing myself on the train (and no stick involved) with starky "I could take a bitch out" ahhhh I love the good spirits here GrinGrin
