morning ladies,

have sore (.)(.)s today. i get this every cycle though. ha! i'm not hapy when i don't have symptoms and i'm still not happy when i do!

I definitely think my body switched to Preparing For AF mode yesterday. I just hope that PFAF mode helpfully doubles up us PFPG mode

MsSparkler are you testing this weekend?

Anyone else testing this weekend?

Bucky2007 · 29/11/2007 10:18

I left my OPK stick at home by accident today , so will not be able to test at the same time. Why am I being so rubbish this month??

Also I am peed off today as my dog walker is sending yet ANOTHER different person to walk Finn dog. I feel like an obsessed mother and am not best pleased that Finn has to meet somebody else...that's three dog walkers he has now! What kind of guard dog is he going to be, he will think anyone who comes to the gate is coming to walk him! .

Also DP is away tonight and at the weekend so lets hope the egg doesn't hatch.

Sorry about this being all about me.

Shazza stick around, somebody will be going with you soon I am sure.

Sarah glad your tubes are less crunched.

dg Morning, glad the acupuncture went well, although that was ages ago now!

Gryffin Any signs yet? You could technically tell us without actually telling us before your DP IYKWIM . Fingers firmly crossed.

CBCB Have you finished the world's most boring report? I bet its not as boring as the one I am writing today...about asbestos removal... What glamourous (sp?) lives we lead....

Hope everyone has the best day today...

digitalgirl · 29/11/2007 10:44

bucky I've always got my opk at around 7.30. i'm sure you can do it when you get home and if there's a surge you'll still catch it. is your dp back tomorrow?

JollyBear · 29/11/2007 11:09

Oh Bucky! How annoying for you. Is he back tomorrow?

My DH has announced he is off out tonight, that doesn't fit in with my BDing plans at all!! I let him have a rest last night too.

I'm going to have to pounce on him as soon as he walks through the door

MsSparkler · 29/11/2007 11:26

Morning all, digitalgirl i don't know if i'll test this weekend, is it too soon to test as i used a first response one yesterday?

Also, i wanted to know what difference it is using first morning wee? Is it because it's been in your bladder all night and hasn't been diluted with anything you have drank?

JollyBear · 29/11/2007 11:34

Hello MsSparkler,

That's right, it is just more concentrated as you've not taken in fluids for 8 hours.

TwilightSurfer · 29/11/2007 11:51

Hi everyone. I feel like I've returned home with all the familiar faces here. I think I might be on the 2WW. I've not had the definitive AF post MC BUT BDed the other night after what might have been EWCM . Symptom spotting is an obsession so I might as well join the best group around for it.

poppysocks · 29/11/2007 12:00

Morning everyone.

Fingers crossed for you MsSparkler. I think their detection rate increases every day, so you don't need to wait....

Shazza have just gone back to your symtoms again. Interested that you had some signs before implantation. I have definitely been feeling a bit sick over the last 24 hours(although that could be tiredness) but also definitely had funny tummy pains last night and I think I'm only 4 or 5 DPO. Definitely can't be more than that.

Thought that there was no point in looking for anything yet until the hormone levels (hopefully) rise after implantation, but still wondered (of course).

Am trying to hold off from true symptom spotting until at least tomorrow even though I'm sure I probably missed it this month anyway.

Clutching at straws? Moi?

sarahnh · 29/11/2007 12:42

hey everyone,

ohhh symptom spotting is hotting up!!

Fingers crossed poppysocks they sound good!

Best of luck mssparkler with your testing!!

Don't worry about your opk kit Bucky as dg says, just test as soon as you get home!!

Well day 20 and i really feel the 2ww is dragging or in my case it will probably be the 3ww!!! I did however, have these weird tugging pains last night??? not sure what that could mean?!

Anyway hope everyone is having a good day xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

OP posts:
Shazza2002 · 29/11/2007 13:22

Well poppysocks, What got me about having pains early was I knew they couldn't have been AF pains, just seemed too early.

Plus this will sound weird but I had convinced myself I was (as we all do), there is definitely a feeling.

sarahn Tugging is good. The reason I remember this so vividly happening on 7DPO was because it was DD's 5th birthday and I was trying to put together rose petal cottage, I had to keep sitting down cause I felt like I was pulling something.

poppysocks · 29/11/2007 13:53

Mmm. That sort of pulling/dragging feeling was definitely what I had last night, but I really can only have been 4 or 5 DPO yesterday. Max. I'm sure. That MUST be too early....?

It wasn't much though and probably just because I noticed it and then was thinking about it.

poppysocks · 29/11/2007 14:14

Sorry forgot to say sarahn the tugging at CD20 DOES sound promising. Fingers crossed for you!

Shazza - sadly I was pretty convinced last month that I had 'the feeling' and even though I don't think we timed BDing right this month I seem to be on my way again this month so I think I should probably discount that from my symptom spotting!

sarahnh · 29/11/2007 14:14

Shreksmissus. they sound really good symptoms!!!

Poppysocks i am only 7dpo now, so was 6 yesterday when i felt it... i wish i had done the spreadsheet last month liske Shazza too!!!

OP posts:
poppysocks · 29/11/2007 14:16

Oh Shreksmissus that does sound promising!

Shazza2002 · 29/11/2007 14:23

It really does shreksmissus It's exactly what I went through

I also have the 'thickness' around the middle, and I haven't eaten anymore (well not that anybody has seen and if nobody see's it don't count right? )

So when is the earliest you could test?

glastochick · 29/11/2007 14:30

shazza really want to be able to pop over and join you on the August thread

Still symptom spotting like mad. Not as tired today - feel strangely energetic (most unusual for me).

(.)(.) still heavy, and going through a wave of nausea as I type.

Got a question though. EWCM seems to have returned, with a little spotting (sorry if tmi ). Does this sound like implantation spotting or an infection or something? Too early for me to test (AF due around the 8th / 9th)

Thanks!

digitalgirl · 29/11/2007 14:31

we're awash with symptoms here!

i've gone from 'it would be nice to get a bfp' to 'i REALLY REALLY REALLY want a bfp'. am yet again convincing myself that vague sensations of pre-AF cramps are PG symptoms. hopefully I'll only have to wait till Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest to get AF and put me out of my misery.

have just found out my other bosses' wife is 10 wks PG, they got married at the end of July. so probably started trying when we did. so unfair

madoldbird · 29/11/2007 14:43

Ooh - some exciting symptoms here!!!

shreksmissus it is sounding good, but i understand that you don't want to get your hopes up. However, i think that the thread should have a collective "hopes up" on your behalf, thus enabling you to remain calm and serene!!

poppysocks and sarahn great sounding symptoms too!!

glasto does sound like it may be an implantation bleed..

dg can understand your sadness - it WILL be your turn soon.

bucky I have used OPK's for 2 cycles now, and done them at varying times of the day. I believe first thing is not good, but any time after that is ok. So hold the wee 'till you get home!!!

Good afternoon to everyone else

Nothing to report here... but no symptoms is good too, right?!

TwilightSurfer · 29/11/2007 14:47

Glastochick your cm changes to become wetish after fertilization. The hint of blood mixed with it could most definitely be product of implantation. All good symptoms to note.

Thanks madoldbird

Oooh, this is exciting

Shazza2002 · 29/11/2007 14:59

Sorry about your other bosses baby DG. You feel bad for feeling that way but it's only natural.

cbcb Love the talk of August 08 babies I want some company.

JollyBear · 29/11/2007 15:01

Ooh things are looking very good! Very promising. Good luck all you symptom spotters. I hope to join you in a few more days. I just can't tell if I have ovulated yet or not!
