anyone have any thoughts?
are my symptoms pregnancy?
or more likely from stopping the pill?

scully · 23/02/2008 10:11

Not sure Pink, are these symptons you have in a normal cycle? It can take a few months for the pill to leave your system completely.
Beanie my last 2 normal cycles since the m/c have been 31 and 30 days, so I won't be getting my hopes up until Wed at the earliest (cd32).
Enjoy the party Bucky a night out, how nice

beaniesteve · 23/02/2008 10:19

Good luck Scully.

beaniesteve · 23/02/2008 10:21

Pinkgirl - all the symptoms you describe are so damn similar to those you get when you are getting your period. It's so unfair that they have to be the same. Good luck, hope it happens for you

coolkat · 23/02/2008 10:28

Hey Bucky good to 'see' you. It sounds like you are feeling better. Enjoy your night tonight. It sounds like your are feeling a little ore relaxed and I think that is good. I know that being on here can sometimes make you more aware and paranoid but it also nice to discuss things with peolpe that you can not discuss in RL. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Anyway CD 38!

pinkgirl30 · 23/02/2008 12:11

hi scully no i dont normally have any of these symptoms. i usually have very mild cramps and headache and an really moody!!
was hoping as we tried straight after pill would be one of the extre fertile one
beaniesteve it is a pain that symptoms are similair to pregnancy and af!

pinkgirl30 · 23/02/2008 12:28

i currently have mild nausea and mild cramps and am really happy

mibbes · 23/02/2008 14:11

Quick Hello to Bucky and all the ladies , Bucky , I'm also aiming to obsess less this month which means less MN. Just popping back to check for BFPs every couple of days . Can't keep up with all the new faces, the thread moves soo quickly ! Anyway, quite resigned to having to fix pre-AF spotting before have a real chance of BFP so having to wean myself off - but I'll defo still be lurking, would hate to miss one of my buddy's BFP !!!
p.s.8Bucky my BF was also very dismissive of MN and all my googling about ttc - she doesn't approve

twinklingfairy · 23/02/2008 18:06

euch, they just don't understand
My sister and BF are the same. Sis passes comments but BF just looks at me as if I am a bit weird.
I try not to mention it to BF and tell sis to shoosh

I am going to try to be more chilled this month too mibbes, will be hard, I like to chat to you guys

pinkgirl30 · 24/02/2008 07:57

morning ladies
hope you all had a good sat
still no af crossing everything
good luck to all

07mumstheword · 24/02/2008 08:58

Hi girls I couldn't find you yesterday and had a msg saying MN was experiencing problems.

Hello to the new poeple and any "old" friends I don't personally mention.

People really don't understand about MN do they. My DH said the other day what are you looking at, so I said MN and he said oh you're still on that are you Of course I am!

Mibbes Hope you have a relaxed month

Bucky Hope you do too and that you enjoyed your friends birthday party.

Just to let you know I had a little spotting and cramps on Friday and I spoke to the doctor who was very good and understood my concerns having had 2 very early MC's so she is sending me for a scan tomorrow. I haven't had any problems since Fri so I'm hoping all is well, keep your fingers crossed for me.

pinkgirl30 · 24/02/2008 09:19

hi 07mumstheword
good luck with your scan have to let us know how it goes

coolkat · 24/02/2008 10:02

Hey god to hear from your 07MTW. I am glad that you are going for an eary scan, I bet this weekend has been really hard waiting. Thinking of you, hope all is well. X

Well still nothing here, boobs achey so it still means one of two things!!! Did my wee in pot this morning and was going to test - Again - but thought no if I am it will be more tomorrow so waited!, hows that for cool and calm!! Actually also had a little tummy ache and thought I am not wasting another blardy test after all those BFN's!!!

Hope your all ok, Ei you are extremely quiet, hope you had a good night Bucky.
TF, Hope the cramps have subsided?
Hatty Yellow are you do you still have you sore thumb sympton!
Hi to everyone else.

coolkat · 24/02/2008 10:03

Blood this morning - must be my period. Day 25. I know I have only been trying for 5 months but I'm 38 this year and I am starting to get worried.

JollyBear · 25/02/2008 10:52

Morning all,

Thanks for the new thread ei

Lots of promising symptom spotting already, good luck all.

mibbes Have you had your Drs appointment yet? Hope you don't stay away too much, we'll miss you.

bucky Hopefully you'll be one of those MNers who get their BFP just after getting started with tests .

MTW Hope everything is good with the scan.

MOB How are you? Hope AF has stayed away.

Beanie Sorry to hear AF has arrived

Hello to everyone else!

pinkgirl30 · 25/02/2008 11:05

hi beaniesteve sorry to hear that af has arrive
good luck trying for next cycle
hi jollybear
are you trying?

pinkgirl30 · 25/02/2008 11:06

i am on on cd 30 still no af and no signs of it impended (crampless and moodyless)
probably be delayed due to coming off pill on jan 23rd

beaniesteve · 25/02/2008 12:14

period came today - that's 2 in one month

Always next month I guess.

madoldbird · 25/02/2008 12:16

Good morning ladies. Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Bucky Hurray for your EWCM!!!! The Dr may say it is not important, but we here shall see it as a GOOD thing! Hope you managed to enjoy the party and the night away.

Hi to a lurking mibbes!!!

MTW my fingers are now blue and dropping off as they have been crossed for your scan today. Hope it all goes well - thinking of you.

coolkat i think you said that you may hold off testing until today? Well, have you??!! Am admiring your restraint.

beaniesteve sorry that it sound like AF is on here way.

pinkgirl hope AF turns up, so you know where you are, or, of course, you get a BFP!!

EI are you ok? As someone else said, you seem to have been a bit quiet this weekend. Hope it is just because you have been too busy having a good time to MN.

JB Nice to see you. Thinking of you this week, and your imminent scan. How does the timing look? Do you think you have ov'ed, or will you both be in those hospital toilets No, no sign of AF here yet, but i am only approx 9DPO, so a little early yet. Am going through the "when do i start testing" routine in my head at the moment. Of course, obviously it is sensible to wait until AF is late before testing, but how many of us here do that?? . I guess i could start tomorrow, but i don't know if i can face the thought of a BFN. DH & i are both resigned to the fact that this is not the month - not based on any evidence, just a feeling that we seem to get.

Hello to everyone else that i haven't mentioned.

coolkat · 25/02/2008 12:19

Where are you all girls, have you moved back to our old thread?

Beanie really sorry AF came,do not worry about age thing I am sure there are loads of owmen on here thinking the same. My BF had twins when she was 38 she was shocked as she had a little boy who was 2. Thinking of you.

Good luck Pink, don't waste to many tests!

Well a little story to bore you with. Day 40, tested and I its was a really faint circle. Left in window and after the 10 mins it was darker.(predictor test) Compared with test from two days ago in bin and def looked different. I have def felt really sore boobs last few days and been weeing more and am sort of excited but not convinced. I am at the docs tomorrow and hopefully she will test to put mind at rest, I am also asking for bloods following m/c in Dec. So I suppose its a BFP, although not celebrating or telling anyone in RL until been doc's tomorrow and perhaps buy another test for morning.
Not leaving you guys though is that ok with everyone?

Sorry for the ramble. X

madoldbird · 25/02/2008 12:24

coolkat can i offer a very tentative and quiet "congrats"! It's sounding promising, but i can understand that you don't want to celebrate yet. Good luck with the doc tomorrow. (Although, if you do another test in the morning before you go, you'd better tell us ) And of course you must leave us!!!!

It is a bit quiet here, isn't it? Is everyone too busy BDing ?! (or maybe working, like i'm supposed to be....)
