Hi,

Have been working all evening ( and also rather that I am working on a Friday night!) and am therefore knackered but just wanted to pop in to say wishing you all the best for Sunday Scary. You're in my thoughts xx

Hi to everyone else - apologies as no time for one of my mammoth posts, hope you are all well

x

PS Nice to 'see' you DG, glad to hear all is well with you and digibean

PPS Have emailed you Bucky re meet up

mibbes · 28/03/2008 22:50

Hi Bucky, how many dpo are you now ? Any more symptoms after headaches ? It is totally strange thinking I am PG - it hasn't sunk in atall yet. I feel like a fraud as (obviously) have no bump and no real symptoms apart from being a bit tired and the wretching business this morning. I'm sure Ei will oblige with a Bucky-dream soon and you'll find out exactly how mad it is . I'll save a sofa for you in the Dec thread xx

ClairePO · 28/03/2008 23:30

Bucky am here!!! How are all of you?

EiWishFor3MoreWishes · 29/03/2008 00:34

clairePO hello! good to see you.

EI am getting very excited for you, although slightly worried that you may get a BFP and leave us, and we need you dreams and mystical powers Are you going to test today? ( you know you want to....)

GG hope DH is chained to the pc doing his swimmers research!

Well, i'm at CD30, and would normally be getting excited / depressed etc, but seeing as i ov'd so late i have a way to go yet. No symptoms to report or anything, just booorrrriiinnnggg!! I hate this wait

Bucky2008 · 29/03/2008 10:33

Hurrah ClairePO you are a hard woman to find. I just wanted to let you know that we are going to plan a London meet up so if you are interested email me at [email protected]. It would be great to meet you, we seem to have lots in common.

Ei sounds really promising! When will you test?

PicknMix I will go and check my email now.

MOB got distracted by TV so did not get round to washing hair. Will defo do it today....I sound really disgusting , apart from my hair I am not honest...

tinkerbell2 · 29/03/2008 12:28

hi moldb good luck

fishnchips · 30/03/2008 17:00

Hi everyone!

Can I join you? I read this thread looking for other people's symptoms before they test because I have been feeling definitely queasy, but only on and off, the last few days yet AF not due for another week. This will be DC no3 and with the other two I didn't get any sickness till week 6 or 7. Can you get nausea this soon if indeed i am even p/g. ?? What do you think ladies? We BD about three weeks ago, on day 10 and day 14 ish (I think - wasn't keeping a record, I have much to learn about record keeping dedication from some of you!)of my cycle.

Good luck to everyone!

EiWishFor3MoreWishes · 30/03/2008 17:29

hi ladies
fishnchips hi and welcome nausea is a GOOD symptom!! i have been having a little bit of nausea too i am due on wed/thur and i got a little bit of nausea when in early preg with DD too have you noticed any other symptoms yet?? we will condider anything from a sore finger to a BFP have you been TTC#3 for long?

CD47 and as yet no sign of AF and no symptoms of anything either. Very frustrating. How are you feeling today Scary? Fingers crossed for you x

tinkerbell2 · 30/03/2008 17:53

hi fncs your name makes me feel hungry lol
good luck fncs ei and sg

ScaryHairy · 30/03/2008 18:31

Fine thanks Shakey. I'm waiting for my blood HCG results which should be back tomorrow and should give a better indication of whether this bean is sticky and whether it might be ectopic.
In the meantime my temp is pretty high today and I feel sick. I am cautiously hoping for good news tomorrow, but I just don't see how it can be as this bean must have implanted so very late - maybe even 15 or 16 dpo- and my last HCG numbers seemed pretty low. On the cheerful side, in TCOYF there is a chart of a woman to whom almost the same thing happened - her temps didn't bounce around quite so much after implantation but it is very similar and she did carry her baby to term. It's nice to know I am not the only oddity!!

Do you know when you ovulated, Shakey?

fnc the nausea can be due to high levels of progesterone - as can pretty much every other pregnancy symptom. But as Ei says, anything is a symptom on this thread : headaches, nausea, tiredness, feeling well, bad spelling, forgetfulness, accidental repeat posting etc etc.

Hi to everyone else, Bucky (is your hair lovely and shiny now?), Ei, GG, mob, Tinkerbell, JB, Picknmix, Hatty, ClairePO, Mibbes. I hope you're all well.

ShakeysGirl · 30/03/2008 18:38

I thought i ov around day 24 (am usually 36 day cycle) but then about 10 days before af was due i had a slight bleed for half an hour. Am very confused! When i didn't come on i convinced myself that i must have ov late and thats what the bleed was iyswim but even if that was the case i'd have come on by now! Am not pg so may have to go to the docs to find out whats going on. Glad you're feeling sick Scary (iyswim) x

tinkerbell2 · 30/03/2008 19:00

good luck scary

mibbes · 30/03/2008 19:40

welcome fnc, your symptoms sound good
Scary am willing this bean to be a sticker for you. I also read in TCOYF last night a very similar scenario to yours and it was due to 'disappearing twin syndrome' which is why the lady had a 'AF' bleed but then the other bean stuck - everything is crossed xx

fishnchips · 30/03/2008 21:56

Thanks for the welcome!

I have had nausea on and off since friday but today I'm beginning to think its not the big curry I had on thursday night ! Am quite shocked as its our first month of TTC. Still there's a few more days left to wait before I test. AF due around 7th april - when's the earliest I can test? I can't even remember when I tested when I had DD!! Is memory loss a symptom?!

EI - when will you test? hope the nausea continues !

EiWishFor3MoreWishes · 30/03/2008 22:19

hi FnC if you are due around 7th i would maybe wait til the weekend before then so the 4th/5th/6th to test and see what happens i will be testing on 1st/2nd/3rd april as Af is due 3rd from my previous cycle length so i have avoided testing up to now in a bid to prove my non-serial tester-ness i think this cycle feels different to previous ones aswell but that might be due to the fact that i am temping and i have also gone back to work full time now so i am naturally tireder i hope you get your BFP next week

Morning all,

Welcome and good luck fishandchips. mibbes Now do you feel like a pregnant lady?

MOB Fingers crossed for you. Waiting is so hard with a longer cycle isn't it!

GG Hope your DH has been chained to the internet doing his research! I hope soooo much that your AF didn't arrive though.

bucky How are you feeling today? Any symptoms for us apart from smelly hair?!

ei I'm so very hopeful for you but would miss you and your psychic powers lots .

scary I read that same story in TCOYF and thought of you! Will be thinking of you today

CD12 for me and just got EWCM! Woooo!

Hello to everyone else and hope you are all well hatty, picknmix, tinker, beanie, shakey and anyone I'm missed.

GryffinGirl · 31/03/2008 10:43

AF did arrive - as predicted, but it took it's time!

Jollybear - DH has not been chained to the internet over the weekend, but he printed out stuff on Friday (an improvement ) and was reading it, has been at the gym, eaten a lot of fruit (organic ) and taken Man Vitamins. Soooo we are making progress, slowly, but actually I know he is doing this for me - he is (i think) probably quite happy to be just the two of us . GP appointment on Wednesday at 9am....expect another rant on Wed afternoon about the general uselessness of getting anywhere

I haven't given up all hope of TTC, but I am also sure that with a sperm count as low as my DH's, "assisted conception" is a very real possibility for us.

welcome to fishandchips!! Hope you get a BFP very soon.

hello to everyone else!

scary - are you ok today? Thinking of you.

tinkerbell2 · 31/03/2008 11:21

hi jb and gg jb - good luck ewcm is great
gg- sorry that af got you - well done to dh for making an effort.
good luck on wed

hattyyellow · 31/03/2008 14:02

Morning ladies

Scaryhairy everything crossed that it all goes okay for you.

GG sorry to hear your DH's results weren't great. Really glad you sorted things out, wish I could do something magical to make things happen for you.

JB hurrah for the ewcm, hope you keeping busy! Glad to hear there is another person based in North here .

Bucky you washed your hair yet?!

Well me, me, me. Had a lovely lovely night away - it was bliss. Still laughing at Mibbes asking if we had a good time and if I'd had my internal yet in the same sentance! Hope you feeling well Mibbes.

Went to docs this morning, she did the internal which (as some of you reassured me) wasn't too bad - the uterus apparently feels fine and there are no massive cysts on the ovaries but there might still be tiny polycystic ones as the internal can't tell that.

Now have to go for blood tests soon. Now, I need help. Is the day 21 test so called because it's 7 days before an average cycle ends? I need dg I remember her changing her blood test day I think as her cycle was long and 21 days wouldn't really reveal much.

If my cycles are generally around 30-32 days should I be booking in at about 25/26 days for that?

Any advice gratefully recieved...
