I have strange feelings in my abdomen, but I recon it's just wishful thinking.

JollyBear · 13/03/2008 15:43

Afternoon all,

Scary Any news yet?!

ei Feel free to have a dream about me . Any bear-like shadow in the bottom of that teacup?

fairy I would have put my higher temp in too if I had two to choose from Fingers very crossed for you!

beanie Hope it isn't wishful thinking. I've been playing the old tried and tested symptom spotting game of 'hmm do my boobs hurt?' 'oooh they hurt' .

EiWishFor3MoreWishes · 13/03/2008 16:04

why yes JB there is a bear-like something in the bottom of the teacup...i just assumed it was the GRIM...

MOB LOL at your hot uterus and PMSL at Ei's big wind
JB Thanks a lot for temp advice - I think I'll put 36.56

beaniesteve · 13/03/2008 16:43

see.... no hurting boobs, no metalic taste, but I do have some strange things going on in my abdomen and because my period is due in a week I am trying to calm myself down and not keep thinking I am pregnant. Grrrr

pinkgirl30 · 13/03/2008 16:59

good luck bs

ScaryHairy · 13/03/2008 19:15

Hello all - sorry, I've been at work all day and daren't log into MN in case the IT guy decides to check up on what I've been doing!
I did another test this morning (might be 10 dpo, might not) and it said "not pregnant", but I am not surprised so will just wait and see from now on.
Feeling surprisingly relaxed all things considered although a bit worried that I have become so desperate that I have started hallucinating lines. I have experienced "disappearing positives" in the past so maybe it was another of those (i.e. a faulty test). Bloody clearblue if it was.

Good luck to everyone who's testing this wekeend.

beaniesteve · 13/03/2008 19:56

give it time you may get lucky. Totally understand the desperation.

ScaryHairy · 13/03/2008 21:50

I've just realised something totally stupid.
When I have seen HPTs that say you can test "as early as 4 days before your period is due" they don't mean 10dpo, they mean 11dpo. There is an example on the First Response instructions that explains it. Of course you can still get a BFP before 11 dpo, but it is interesting to think that I consistently test way too early...

There's that desperation again...

ScaryHairy · 14/03/2008 07:39

Oh my God, I've killed the thread !!

pinkgirl30 · 14/03/2008 07:47

morning sh sorry about bfn good luck

beaniesteve · 14/03/2008 10:30

Well, morning all!
Today I have an overwhelming feeling of wellbeing. I could easily say this is because I am pregnant but really I have no idea if that's true! I always get a bit hyper before my period and it's due on Wednesday. We'll see.

Have still got weird twinges in both my abdomen and my boobs, but as I say - period due soon.

Would be nice if my cycle is a bit longer this month, maybe the EPO and Vit B6 will have worked. Certainly don't feel so angry!

beaniesteve · 14/03/2008 11:03

Oh - and the top of my boobs are throbbing.

Still trying to be sensible about this, I will probably get my period, but it's a symptom - right?

nipples are not sore though, and I read that tehy can be the worst.

JollyBear · 14/03/2008 11:40

Morning all,

mibbes How's your temp today? Hope you've got that third day rise

MOB How are you today? Hope your uterus is still hot! Did the reflexologist say that was a good thing? It sounds good!

scary Grrr this testing thing is horrible isn't it! Sorry about the BFN but as you say yourself it is still early.

fairy Any news? Hope that temp stayed high and you are still set for testing tomorrow.

GG Are you there? Hope everything is OK.

ei How's the temping going so far? I found it a bit difficult at first but once you get into a routine it's great as you know when you've ov.

pink Glad AF still hasn't arrived.

beanie Glad to hear you are full of beans! Twinges sound good to me.

10DPO today, eeek! Nothing to report really except my highest ever temp this morn 37.07. I'm thinking of not testing on Sunday after all. It would still be a bit early and I want to go on thinking I could be pregnant for a bit longer. I'd be really disappointed and I hate BFN .

madoldbird · 14/03/2008 12:24

Hello everyone

beaniesteve have got my fingers crossed for you! It's great that you are feeling so perky. I briefly read your thread about losing your cervix - that can also be another good sign, hope you haven't found it yet?!

scaryhairy sorry you had a BFN, but it could definitely be too early to test, and also i assume it was a CB digital you did, and i understand that they are less sensitive than some other tests.

fairy fingers crossed for your imminent testing!

JB your temps sound good. i understand you wanting to wait until you test, and that is probably very wise (though frustrating for the rest of us who are not at the time to start testing and can only satisfy their testing obsession through other people! )Yes, apparently a hot uterus is good (although it's my foot's that hot, not really my uterus, so not sure if that will aid conception!)

GG hope you are lurking out there. How are things with you? Hope everything's ok as it can be - thinking of you lots.

Well, not a lot to report here. On CD15, but i don't seem to be close to ov yet. Lots of creamy CM, but not much EWCM yet. Am hoping that my cycle is gradually lengthening, for most of my life it has been around 33 days. Since coming off the pill a few months ago it has been 25 - 29 days. If it gets a bit longer i will see that as a good thing - getting back to how my body always used to be. Maybe that's the reflexology as well. DH & I are both only working a half day today, so he'll be home in a bit and is insisting on some BDing, "just to get some in there early, waiting for the egg" as he puts it!! Oh well, beats working!

pinkgirl30 · 14/03/2008 12:59

afternoon ladies
good luck bs and jb thanks

beaniesteve · 14/03/2008 13:01

Madolbird

Thanks

My cycle seemed to reduce after I came off the pill too.
Happy BDing

JollyBear · 14/03/2008 13:13

Getting back to your usual cycle is great news MOB, have a great afternoon

hattyyellow I forgot to ask how you are today I've got my fingers crossed for you.

beaniesteve · 14/03/2008 13:58

Oh - pains in my left side, a weird twinge in my groin.

mibbes · 14/03/2008 14:17

JB I am getting excited for you, if temp rising further on 10dpo that could be the start of a triphasic rise...
MOB good news about cycle and have fun this afternoon !
beanie am hopeful for you missus as sore boobs is a good symptom
I got my scan appt through for end of the month - hurray ! However it says it is an trans-abdominal scan and to drink water beforehand (like a PG scan I assume) but there is an information sheet attached with FAQs about trans-vaginal scan...hmm so not sure what will happen...

mibbes · 14/03/2008 14:20

sorry JB forgot to say that I did get a high temp today so have ov lines where I'd hoped in FF

hattyyellow · 14/03/2008 14:40

Af here . Massive argument with DH . Crying into my laptop . Awful period pain that even paracetamol can't cure. And it's my birthday tomorrow and I was so looking forward to it and now everythings just awful .

JollyBear · 14/03/2008 14:58

Oh hatty I'm so sorry what a truly horrible time for AF to arrive. Have you tried Feminax for the PP? I find it sometimes makes it bearable when really bad.

I really hope the pain starts to feel better and you have the lovely birthday you planned tomorrow. I feel weepy for you >
