Hey girls as we are about to get thrown out of our thread I have started a new one so we can continue manically looking for EWCM, sore (.)(.)s and orange feet whilst chanting 'in with love, out with BFNs'.

Come on over/in

OMIGOD - QPQ, that's great news! Congratulations . It will be a big fat blue line soon. There are loads of BFP's on the Stay As Long As You Like Thread

Hey GG perkiness and increased CM are definitely symptoms!! Woohoo

Well, my 'run' was a disaster . Ran for about 10 minutes then had to stop because i was getting increasing pains somewhere round my left ovary. Never had those before. It definitely wasn't a stitch, but it could have been AF related. Anyway, thought I'd walk through it, but it got worse and ended up having to turn round to go home (imagining all sorts of rupturedness and me never being able to have children). Halfway home, it started easing up so I managed to run another 10 min. WEIRD.

I'm hoping it's my bits clearing themselves out, as it seemed to kickstart AF again (which had stopped this morning, same as last cycle). Maybe I need to do this everyday ...yeah right!

hiya for anyone not on the TTC waiting room thread an update, peed on ebay cheapie this morning a v v v v v faint line thougth nah, so dipped one in pee one in water this afternoon again v faint line nothing on the water, am so scared to buy a CBD in case I get a big NOT PREGNANT and AF turns up tomorrow.

QPQ - you are the same today then and for not knowing for sure.

I think I feel sick!

GryffinGirl · 30/10/2007 13:24

DG - hey, in that case I must be PG . Buckets of CM, annoying perkiness and )this is a new one ) a ravenous appetite. I've just polished off a huge sarnie and some biscuits I found left over from a meeting and I want MORE . At this rate, even if I'm not PG, I'll still develop a huge bump !

Hope you don't have any more pain after your run.

'Tis a lovely sunny day here in Ye Olde London Towne. Of course, I'd prefer to be enjoying the sunshine in Las Vegas, but my annoying perkiness means that today, even cancelled holiday seem fine. I've turned into some irritatingly happy Pollyanna person....bleughhh!

spooky, impressed with your scientific experiments of "pee v water" on PG tests. Really hope it is a thick blue line soon!

spookykitty · 30/10/2007 14:09

GG if DP was here I would have got some of his pee for the control (I kid you not) it's the scientist in me

GG - 2ww is a killer, when you testing?

mylittleeloise · 30/10/2007 15:09

well got some ebay cheepies through the post today and just couldnt wait to try them out, im only bout 5/6 days po so no prizes for the result will just have to resist temptation for another week
(i will be a good girl..........honestly )

coolkat · 30/10/2007 16:02

How bad am I I do not hae any tests in the house because I know I would keep testing and be disappointed, shame I can not keep Chocolate out the house it would solve me eating it!!

Well like I just posted on the other TTC thread not sure whether mind playing tricks or body s preparing for AF boobies felt sore today and keep having spells where I feel quite light headed, sure mind is playing tricks but we will see in a week.

Good luck to everyone.

Quidproquo · 30/10/2007 18:29

spooky - get down tesco!
my line is so faint dp was seriously sceptical when i waved it at him - ran out at lunch and splashed cash on clearblue digital and guess what!

the most i can be is 10 dpo but it was positive

m/c in july so keeping feet on ground but keep staring at test!

spookykitty · 30/10/2007 19:35

QPQ - wow congratulations am v pleased for you I mc in August so know what you are going through, are you a regular btw will I know you?

Here's my other symptoms:

"think" I need to pee more but could be imagining it

have had aches and pains in my pelvis last two days like AF is here but only usually get period pain if I am actually bleeding

v emotional but could be because of AF

think I feel a bit sick but thats nerves

NO boob tenderness but my boobs never give the game away, keep squeezing them though

did yet another test at dinnertime again v v v v v faint line, am going to buy a CBD tomorrow.

hedgepig · 30/10/2007 19:44

Hi everyone browsing down what is CM? can't find it on acronym list.

My (.)(.) hurt but they always do post OV BUT I think they hurt more. Just peed on a cheepie test but BFN, but then again I got them free when I got some OV tests from the same company and I could get the OV test to work either, I just cant bring myself to chuck them in the bin.

GryffinGirl · 30/10/2007 19:47

Congratulations QPQ!!! that is great news and vindication of an early test

CM = cervical mucus

Bucky2007 · 30/10/2007 19:52

Wow its all happening here. Congrats QPQ and SK sounds promising too.

I am getting seriously worried about this month. I am so stressed all of a sudden, have to get round to BDing soon. CD11 tomorrow so might crack open the OPKs soon.

Nothing new to report. Took Finn to the vet today because he needed a check up and apart from his runs he went all floppy. Apparently I am a hysterical mother, because the vet said he looked fine and gave him prescription food and then charged me £50 . So no new shoes for me.

hedgepig · 30/10/2007 19:54

thank you Gyffingirl I think I may have that too.
QPQ congratulations and spooky do you think tesco would deliver a CBD now cos it is obviously is an emergency?

SK it's sounding more and more likely that tomorrow will bring a BFP for you. I'm going to say congrats now anyway!!

welcome starlight can't wait till i'm off AF so I get to practice baby-making again!

Spoke to the doc earlier today who said i need to go in for a referral to a specialist, she couldn't do it over the phone. So am going in on Monday morning. Phew! Just glad she didn't tell me to wait another few months. 37, 41 and 50 day cycles are not a level-playing field for me and DH.

07mumstheword · 31/10/2007 08:33

SK Just reminded me re the wee control tests that last time I was PG I did 9 tests and my DH did two! lol I'm holding on to congrats until you confirm with CBD later, which I'm sure you will

Congratulations QPQ thats wonderful news.

DG Great glad to hear you are going to get refered to a specialist.

Hello everyone else. Nothing happening here boring!

pixie04 · 31/10/2007 09:11

Good Morning ladies! I see congrats are in order for QPQ & SK well done you two congratulations

Well I'm CD22 and am very sure I ov'd yesterday although I'm still getting a bit of OV pain this morning. So it's the start of the 2ww for me. Last month my LP was pretty much exactly 14 days so we'll have to wait and see. Also last cycle was 35 days and this one looks to be becoming the same. We'll have to wait and see of course. I got some BDing in with DP yesterday morning so fingers crossed it was enough.

DG I am pleased you are going in for that refferal. Try and steer your GP towards it being more for your ever extending cycles rather than ttc. They are a bit strick on reffering people for problems ttc unless they've been trying for over 12 months. If you put it accross as more to do with your cycles becoming longer and that's stressing you out you should have no problem getting your refferal. You stand your ground DG!

sarahnh · 31/10/2007 10:58

hey, i have been in the waiting room but need some advice on the 2ww!!! on cd27 last cycle was cd36!! so i know this is really early, got a + on opk on cd13 , my (..) are slightly bigger ( well my dh tells me), feel a bit ikky, loads of cm (sorry tmi!) but really not sure when to test! I must also add that i also have cramps in the morning and at night which makes me feel AF is on her way!! We have been trying now for 10 months! Sorry this is a long post and sorry for my ranting!!

07mumstheword · 31/10/2007 11:03

Are your cycles normally 36 days or was that a little unusual? It maybe a little early but you could always buy a test that states you can test up to 4 days early. Personally if I had those symptoms I would not be able to wait. You could try testing now but if it is BFN and AF doesn't turn up you could test again in a few days, just buy a twin pack of tests. Sorry I'm spending your money here

pixie04 · 31/10/2007 11:08

sarahnh if you got a +OPK on CD 13 then you would have ovulated either then or on CD14. a woman's Luetal Phase is normally 10 - 16 days so in theory your AF should be due at the latest CD30 at the earliest CD23. You could do a test now or wait until CD30 if still no AF do a test. Maybe do a test tomorrow morning CD28? Mornign wee is always the best for early testing. Your symptoms sound great. Good Luck. x

sarahnh · 31/10/2007 11:13

mtw my cycle is all over the place unfortunately though last month was freaky!!! i muust admit i seem to buy pg tests all the the time!! i think my dh is going to conviscate(sp) my debit card!! I have bought some tests earlier but which detect very eary pg but i have to pee in a cup and i'm at work at the mo, so that might be a bit tricky!!! i completely obsess about systoms every month, though as soon as AF turns up i forget what they were and the whole cycle begins again!!!

sarahnh · 31/10/2007 13:45

well i gave into temptation, couldn't be bothered to pee in a cup so i went to boots and bought a predictor pgt which can detect up to 4 days and you can use any time of day and its BFN. Gutted

07mumstheword · 31/10/2007 14:01

I'm so sorry sarahnh but it is still early so don't give up hope quite yet. I obsess symptoms all the time, AF arrived for me on Sunday and I realise that the AF symptoms can be so similar to PG symptoms it really is hard to tell.

sarahnh · 31/10/2007 14:11

well i have decided that i am going to tie my hands behind by back and not use any more pgts until at least monday/tuesday. That way if AF gets me beforehand i won't have wasted any more money or get upset!(well i will be upset) i have even being having dizzy spells which i never get!! but as you say it is early so i guess you never know

pixie04 · 31/10/2007 15:28

sarahnh Whilst the tests can be used anytime of the day your supposed to hold your wee for something like 4 hours for the HCG level to be detectable early on in pregnancy. And whilst from the first day of your missed period they are 99% or whatever, when used 4 days before they are only 45 - 50% effective.

You are 14 DPO right? I'd maybe try one of your pee in a cup ones tomorrow morning (first morning wee) or wait till 16 DPO (day after 2moro).

There is still hope
