[MrsEi25]

righty-ho ladies heres for a lucky thread now what are your symptoms then?? im not even on my 2ww and im convinced its this month... {note to self: must not get obsessed} yeah right...
xx ei xx

evening girls
CK i am slightly inclined to use my bad back as a symptom as i have had so few this month (which i am also using as a symptom) mine is really low on my right side so who knows
mibbes i havent tested yet i have been out househunting with my sister today as she is moving nearer to us so i havent had a chance...not that i was tempted or anythinhonest
how is everyone else??
willmouse i would defo do a test over the next few days (when i was late i did them daily) and i agree a CBD is the best bet
hope you get a BFP
JB how are you holding up?? is AF still AWOL then??
hi to everyone else i have missed
xx ei xx

Ei when is AF due? My 1st day of last period was Jan 17th but to be honest I do not know how long cycles are so I am still learning all the technical stuff - hoping to get BFP by using the very scientific and calculated way - BD all the time!!Thats why I am knackered !!

Willmouse about my earlier question are you you know constipated - I swear its a symptom!!

Well still got uncomfortable pain and is to early to be anything BFP related. Rahhh

Nice to see you too Bucky. In my self imposed exile I really did miss you all! And don't worry re the drinks - TTC is a marathon not a sprint, and you can't be virtuous all the time.

Mibbes - I get a temp dip pretty often the day before ov. I am also sure I read that sometimes women bleed a tiny bit at ovulation, so I bet that's all it is. You should still BD, as the egg takes ages to get down the fallopian tubes and I bet the swimers could be there in a matter of minutes!

The ice cube trays made me laugh GG, although I can't pretend it hasn't crossed my mind in the odd irrational moment. I was thinking of finding a clinic and getting DH to make a deposit there that I could collect on the right day... but what if they gave them to someone else by mistake?!? I would always be wondering.

Willmouse - I agree re CB digital. A few years ago I actually had a false positive on a First Response test (although the second line vanished within 10 minutes) and I much prefer the certainty of having things in words - saves me holding the test up to the light, squinting at it and imagining second lines!!

CK i am due on the 9th/10th so this sat/sun but thats going by my usual 30 day cycle and last month was a 35 day-er so i dont know really i will be testin on fri/sat/sun though so hopefully... i never get back pain as an af symptom and i have had it for just over a week now but it has felt better the past few days- apart from monday its in my right hip at the back!! i had what i thought was Ov pains on my right this month i think so...i dont know but otherwise no other symptoms that have lasted more than a day maybe you just want to join the exclusive and most prestigious back pain club...members recruited in feb: 2 (ei & bucky) there is always room for more hope it is a symptom for you though
xx ei xx

God EI if you get a BFP this week after back pain it will kill me waiting another week - 10 days to test.

Wierd though!!

Oooh MrsEi we could be testing buddies as well as bad bad buddies! although I need to invest in some good stuff as only have my ebay cheapies. I will be 12 dpo on Sunday and AF is due on Saturday/Sunday. So I figure if she doesnt arrive on Saturday I will test on Sunday. I don't really have any symptoms, I had a weird craving for a MacDonalds hamburger on the way home, but I think that is because I am a pig. Ooh and my bad back is almost better hurrah.

Not really hopeful again this month but I am trying to be a positive. Hopefully the reflexology has worked!!

OOh this is all about me (no change there then!!).

07MTW glad you are feeling ok. When would AF have been due, so we know when you are officially late?

CKi will do my best not to disappoint but i dont think it is a symptom for me (thats my story and im sticking to it) but who knows...i did however have a bad back all the way through my preg with DD right from the BFP i was achey but i did have a persistant UTI aswell so it might have been that
xx ei xx

oooh bucky we could have a test-a-thon PMSL at the bad bad buddies (its all about the songs for me this week as i sung "bad to the bone b-b-b-b-b-baaad!!"in my head obv.)
xx ei xx

Bucky - bad back being better could mean egg implanted ! Keep fingers crossed.

A hamburger is not being a pig, having sour sweets, chocolate cream bar, toffee sweet and bag of crisps is being a pig
Why do I always pig out when DH not here.

Bucky I'm glad your back it better and good luck for testing at the weekend.

I'm CD24 and normally have a 26-28 day (ish) cycle. I know why I test early (CP blah blah blah) but I wish I hadn't now. I've had some cramps/stretchy sensations low down (which could be perfectly normal) but I'm worried. I'm not even "officially" late yet and here I am worrying about this pregnancy!

Oh no just been to catch up in the waiting room to see a msg saying 50% of PG are chemical PG's. I don't want to hear that right now so I'm going into hiding!

MTW dont look at the negative side of things look at the fact that 50% of pregs are sticky non chem pregsiyswim it is perfectly normal to have stretchy pains in early preg so relax and dont stress until you need to as chances are you wont need to

Mrsei Thanks It's like the my glass is half full or half empty senario I will heed (sp?) your wise words.

Mrsei I do hope you get your BFP this weekend too. The very best of luck to you.

MTW mine is always half full (except when AF makes her visit)
xx ei xx

thanx MTW me too i will join you on the due in oct thread when you are ready to then
xx ei xx

MrsEI I must confess that I have been on the due oct thread. It's nice to hear others symptoms or rather lack of them at this early stage. I'd love you to come over holding Bucky's hand too.

well congrats MTW on your tentative graduating when is you AF date?? i hope you pass you milestone and can graduate with a big parade (and take me with you please) me and bucky will lean on eachother (cos of the bad backs) and hobble over to the due in oct thread to meet you

MrsEi Actually meant 'bad back buddies' , bit of a freudian slip perhaps bad bad buddies would probably be appropriate for me however.

Try not to worry O7, its easy to say but so far so good. How early did you test with your CPs?

Duh, laptop said that twice not me!

I really want to test, waiting for 3 more days is going to be sooo difficult!

Gosh, so a few people testing this weekend, how exciting DH is back today, after being away since Monday, he timed it well too as today is cd11, so he's going to be kept busy over the next week. Did an opk on Tues and it said I wasn't ovulating, am going to do another one today because I don't think it's too far away. Had another friend tell me she is pregnant yesterday, via email though so made it easier. So that is 4 people I know due in Feb/Mar (what should have been when I was due) and another 3 friends due between July and October. I'm so happy for all of them, just feel a bit for me, but we are so lucky to have 2 dd's already, try not to dwell on it all too much.
How are the bad backs, any improvement? GG, I don't have scoliosis, that is curvature of the spine, I have a tiny bit missing that seems to make a big different
32deg here today, hot hot hot Mind you yesterday afternoon it poured rain, we had 100mm in an hour so finally the dams are filling up Our watertank is being plumbed in today (so I'll use tank water for the washing machine), and will now be able to water the garden, wash the car etc, all those things you can't do with mains water. But of course it will stop raining now that we have a fully functioning tank
Hello to everyone

Mrsei I don't really know when my due date is because my periods are a bit irregular anything from 25-30 days. I'm CD25 today but last month was CD30.

Bucky I normally test really early sometimes I've even done it at 9 dpo (actually I did this month too it was BFN but on 11 dpo it was positive). I know you OV a bit later than me cycle buddy so how many dpo are you/will you in in 3 days?

I have to say though knowing early just makes you worry early.

Scully I mean't to say I read you post with as usual Don't wear DH out over the next few days

Morning Ladies - MrsEi and Bucky, ooohh nearly the weekend now so the wait will be over , any symptoms apart from bad backs ? or are you hoping to do a MTW and get BFP after none !
Well after my dip in temp it is back to a normal pre-ov temp today... was fully expecting the rise today. Also decided to do an opk this morning and +ve ! Am very confused as was convinced EWCM had dried up last night (although bd'd anyway)... no idea what is going on now, anyway will just have to wait for the rise... Sometimes knowing what is going on is more confusing than not !
