beckyjones · 11/01/2007 13:20

Sorry for the extremely graphic title for this conversation but I need some assurance that the things that are happening to my body isn't me being over excited..?

I wore white pants yesterday and when I went to the loo there was a slight spot of which could have been light blood or very dark red/orange CM.. nothing more today but I was sooo bloated yesterday I had to undo my trousers.. this has now passed.

Also my boobs are very sore so much that I had to put my bra on lying down this morning and also felt quite tearful when I took it off last night..

I feel sick but haven't been sick, when I think of being sick (generally do this if hung over as it speeds the process)- It makes it worse..

Also I have very heavy CM, not egg like when I was ovulating but thick and slightly sticky..

I know that you are probably eating your lunch while reading this and I do sincerely apologise but I have suffered an ectopic and a miscarriage (MC in Oct 06)- my husband doesn't want to get over excited nor will he let me test early becaise I have done this lots of times over the last 6 months and got BFP but then a couple of days later got my AF... We have been trying for 18 months and I am desperate for a baby- I didn't feel this out of sorts when I was pregnant last time, but I don't think I had very high hormone levels... also woke up this morning full of spots and I usually have very clear skin.. have had to go to bed the last couple of nights because I am sooo tired- but could these symptoms just be in my head?
My AF is due next Tues

Please help x

do you have a test? I really think you should test, not just because of hopeful signs, but because I think you will beat yourself up for the next week if you don't.

oh yes I know only too well how easy it is to say "when it is meant to" and how hard it is to live by it. That being said I now live by the "I know it's not going to happen" filosophy, that way if it ever does, and I really don't think it will, it will be a surprise and even a shock, lol.

pussycatmomma · 16/01/2007 22:44

hiya wanna, no i dont have any tests in the house, no longer keep them within reaching distance I didnt mean to sound i am all au fait with the ttc business now, by saying what is meant to be will be. Hope i didnt offend you. Its just that i think i am becoming more and more resigned to the fact that it just might not happen. I guess its just a way of coping, to harden yourself off to it, somehow makes it a little easier to bear. I know you know what i mean.
You just know i;ll be posting on here tomorrow or the next day or so saying "uh oh af has arrived". We are too old and wise and cynical wannabe!

wannaBeWhateverIWannaBe · 16/01/2007 22:57

oh no no you didn't offend

I don't keep tests in the house either, well I do have a pack of those early ones from access dianostics but they're so crap to use that I wouldn't bother with them anyway lol.

clothears · 17/01/2007 08:43

Hello guys - any news? Have been thinking about you and sending you good vibes. Im so full of anticipation for you that i type this with goosebumps!!
Im going swimming shortly but will log on late morning in the hope that you have both been out and bought tests.... and done them!
Good Luck ladies xx

ammylovesbabies · 17/01/2007 09:36

BUMP!!!! BUMP!!!! BUMPITY BUMP!!!!

I can't stand the suspense on this thread!!!

Sexonslightlypuffylegs · 17/01/2007 10:30

I woke up this morning and thought about you pusscat - not in a pervy way btw! Really have everything crossed for you, although crossing my legs is now a bit uncomfortable!

pussycatmomma · 17/01/2007 15:23

hi all ....thankyou for all thinking of me. You are all so kind. I am sure it is your kind words and positive vibes that are keeping af away!! CD32 today, more on and off crampy feelings but NO AF .
Who knows, it may just be around the corner, but for now, I am happy with the possibility of even a "maybe".
Also very very very scared. I am so desperate to test, but also desperate not to test!!
At what point do you think that it would be possible to be sure you were pregnant just from your own body? Anyone any ideas?
I think I mean, when do all these supposed signs and symptoms kick in?
And Beckyjones.........WHERE ARE YOU? where have you gone, we are going through this together! Do you still have all your signs as per your thread title?
I have no symptoms, just no af. but at the same time iykwim!!
Please keep posting, you lot are keeping me from going absolutley insane
xxxxxxx

Piffle · 17/01/2007 15:32

PCM fingers crossed for you
The months I had symptoms aplently Af always turned up
The month I got my BFP I was symptom free, like you just no AF
Then as soon as i knew symptoms appeared left right and centre
Hope this is it for you xxxxxxxx

wannaBeWhateverIWannaBe · 17/01/2007 15:46

pussycat, the time you can actually tell that you're pregnant from your body would be at around 16/17 weeks when you start showing and baby starts moving pgrin]

seriously, some people never have any simptoms, so you can't realy on that alone.

please go and do a test damn it! lol

FactsAndFigures · 17/01/2007 15:48

Hi pussycatmomma - I'm in the same boat as you AF was due on Monday I'm now CD31 with no pg symptoms or AF!

I too have had cramping. It's been on and off since Friday - although it's gone today, got quite painful yesterday especially last night when I had trouble getting to sleep because of cramps - not normal for me.

The only thing that's been different with me this month is that since Sunday I've had trouble sleeping - not like me at all. Last night I was reading a pregnancy book and it did say that Insomnia can happen pretty much after conception - maybe I'm clutching at straws, but I live in hope but then the other part of me thinks not having any other pg symtoms is not a good sign . Although being symptom free worked for Piffle

I'll keep my fingers crossed for both of us

pinkranger · 17/01/2007 15:48

so hoping for you PCM x

FurryFox · 17/01/2007 15:55

Fingers crossed for everyone waiting too. I was due af around yesterday/today. Am now cd30 and normally have about a 29 day cycle - I think.

Have also had cramps last 3/4 days but not really anything today. Really feel af is on her way so not positive at all but you never know.

Want to hold out till Friday to test but will probably end up doing one tomorrow. Would just rather wait for af to arrive than gt a BFN iykwim.

trace2 · 17/01/2007 15:59

i HAD NO SYMTOMS AT ALL,
as you all know on our threads we did every month symtoms, but yet when pg i had none! i am so hoping for you all i know how hard we all try,

Insomnia yes i think i had that but not to sure i know i did from about 7 weeks when all the rest came ie sickness, headaches the lot

trace2 · 17/01/2007 16:00

why dont you all test, we need to know

fishie · 17/01/2007 16:04

pcm i am in the same boat - day 32 here, 2 neg tests (but one was very out of date). do not know quite what to think. how long is your cycle usually? mine 26-28.

i have gp apt on friday so i'll know by then either way.

FactsAndFigures · 17/01/2007 16:05

I haven't got any tests to test with

I ordered some tests off the internet yesterday, which will hopefully arrive tomorrow.

trace2 · 17/01/2007 16:05

Hi everyone no need to test, got my AF about 20 mins ago, at work and have spent about 20 mins crying to my dh on the phone. I am gOing to go home and probably cry some more - it is useless
Good luck to everyone else and sorry for wasting everyones time again I should just just stop thinking that way as it's been 18 months of no luck why should it turn now

Bye for now xxx

FurryFox · 17/01/2007 16:41

I'm so so sorry Becky. You haven't wasted anyones time. So many of us go through this and that's why we're all here for each other. Nothing I can really say to make you feel better. Go home and be with your dh.xx

clothears · 17/01/2007 16:45

Oh Becky - Im so sorry to hear this news. I know just now it all seems so utterly helpless but please please have faith in what I said. I know more than 3 people who tried with no luck, referred for IVF, no luck, within a few months they conceived naturally because they had given up all home and suddenly realise sex can be fun aswell as functional.
I feel for you, really I do. xx

Thanks for your kind words- think we are going to take a break from ttc- my dh is sick of the stress I am putting myself under and also the constant upset for 3-4 days a month.
I feel completely gutted, worse than ever before, I got so upset when I came on it was like I was crying for something that could of been but wasn't. I keep asking myself if it is my fault and if there is something I am not doing.
I don't know what to do anymore, all of my dh family caught before they took their pants off and I know they think I am an uptight posh bird- I know this first hand as I collared one of them only recently- so everytime I seem them they insist on asking me when our time will be- they don't know we are ttc- but still it still annoys me.

I am just being an hormonal cow now ... I need to go home eat a family size bar of galaxy and a take away pizza a long with a massive galss actually no... a bottle of wine- the expensive one that my dh got bought for xmas!!

pussycatmomma · 17/01/2007 18:33

oh Becky.....I am so sorry......((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))
There are no words I can say to express how much i understand how you must be feeling right now.
Hope you are downing the wine as we speak.
Onwards and upwards chickeroonie.......comfort yourself in the fact that when the pleasure of a bfp finally arrives, the end result will be so wanted, so loved, so special....
I cant think of anything else to say sweetie. But my virtual support and hugs are here for you.

fishie · 17/01/2007 18:55

becky i am sorry (have been there too). be nice to yourself

kathryn77 · 17/01/2007 22:40

Becky,

I have been reading your thread for days. I am so sorry. I have been in your place and know how hard it is, especially when everyone says "it'll be your turn next" and other insensitive comments. I am sure they do not mean it but i know how much it hurts.

My thoughts are with you...... Chocolate and wine are good....
