Sorry NJ but some things are impossiable... Like getting to friends house to use her computer before the sun gets up...

kayzisbroody · 29/02/2008 07:18

Ok then

Have fun

lardylumps · 29/02/2008 07:42

Kay what are you doing today? Please dont get down as it is very early and we dont know if the tests work this early.

lardylumps · 29/02/2008 07:57

I have to go now too, so speak to you all later! [kisses] for Kay!!

calsworld · 29/02/2008 08:04

Hi all, been reading for ages and beginning to feel like some kind of stalker.

I don't actually believe it, so if I say it, then something will happen and I'll know where I am....

AF was due yesterday and so far its a no show

There, now I've said it in public, AF will turn up and I can stop checking my pants every ten minutes

largeginandtonic · 29/02/2008 08:09

Hiya Calsworld We are on the same Post-natel thread aren't we?

Have you tested at all? Got symptoms? C'mon tell us the lot!!

I'm not here really, am waiting for DS2 to finish his breakfast, but not waiting here at all....

calsworld · 29/02/2008 08:29

No, not tested, not got any kits in. I don't really think I can be, we only decided to start TTC this month...I posted on another thread earlier in the month...

By calsworld on Tue 19-Feb-08 14:54:28
I have just decided to start TTC for no 2, we've only had one unprotected BD on Sunday, which was CD18 (I think) and today I've had a small bleed. I'm not due on my period for a while yet, so what was this?

It was suggested that this could be an ovulation bleed but now am wondering if this could possibly have been an implantation bleed? But on the other hand, have read that this is a) really rare and b) doesn't happen till day six.

On the other hand, last time I got BFP it was in first month of trying....

calsworld · 29/02/2008 08:32

Re symptoms, I don't know really - I don't feel like AF is about to start and I usually really know about it, I get bad PMT, bad tummy cramps and my eczema flares up...

But so far none of the above.

I've been getting weird dizzy spells but I went to the doc yesterday and he said it was an inner ear thing called Labyrinthitis don't laugh! The floor keeps tilting at weird angles so I have to sit still and rest...or read mumsnet! Anyone heard of dizzy spells as a symptom?

calsworld · 29/02/2008 08:40

If I go really looking for symptoms...have been absolutely exhausted - but am recovering from really nasty case of tonsillitis and have this inner ear infection thing going on

Had really bad morning sickness last time round and could only eat pineapple for ages - had big craving for fresh pineapple about a week ago

Am weeing a lot more often than normal
Don't feel like drinking
Feel a little bit nauseous

I'm sooooo making this all up coz I want a BFP.

I think I'm going to have to go buy a kit and test tomorrow am (by which point AF will have arrived and I will feel like a right numpty

Oh, NJ, yes we were both on Nov 06, due date was actually moved to 1st Dec but I stayed in Nov club. I stole your 'am in labour' thread when my waters broke!

NatalieJane · 29/02/2008 08:45

Yep, memories been refreshed now! Shushhh about the labour thread, I am suitably embarressed beyond all means!! Can you believe we are going to do it all again?!!

So what time are you testing? Do I have to get up specially to see?!!! You have a lot of symptoms for them to be in your head....!! And period is late, always a good sign

Right really must get going now, see you all later xxx

calsworld · 29/02/2008 09:18

Right, will make it a mission to get a test kit today and if AF hasn't arrived then will test first thing in the morning.

Not sure what time that will be NJ as I keep waking up around 5 needing a wee, but won't be setting an alarm in the hope that I can actually sleep till DS wakes us up.

Until then, I'll just keep checking my pants. I'm off to bed as I'm shattered. Thanks for letting me waffle...have a good morning guys. x

Morning all,

Kay bad luck on your BPN, but as everyone said, its way to early really, there's still hope.

Cosmos, only get the basic mat pay here, sorry. My friend now gets 9 months full pay!!!!! After 6 months at the company she got 3 months full and 6 months half, not she has been there 2 years she gets 9 full months pay. The downside is of course she has to go back to work afterwards (for 6 months I think but not completely sure) otherwise she looses it. Thats why I don't really care about enhanced mat leave cos I dont really want to go back!

Calsword, nice to "meet" you. Sounds like you could have pg symptons, some people do get pg first months of trying. Best bet is to test really.

kayzisbroody · 29/02/2008 09:33

Hello Calsworld,
You really must test tomorrow if your AF hasn't arrived.

I dont know how I can wait until next friday to test again. You wil all have to stop me from testing again.

Playingthewaitinggame · 29/02/2008 09:34

should read "now she has been there 2 years"

Playingthewaitinggame · 29/02/2008 09:35

Hi Kay, you know you are going to test before Friday . Just try not to test over the weekend and then see how you go next week.

kayzisbroody · 29/02/2008 09:38

Im going to test on Monday or Tuesday. Then its 4 days early, I dont know how I'm going to stop myself testing tomorrow or Sunday.

I'll have to come on here and you lot can stop me testing.

largeginandtonic · 29/02/2008 09:45

How may tests have you got Kay?

I am weak and would be testing too

So Cal what kind of test are you going to get, this is very important. I suggest all out for a clear blue digital or a first response. Anyone else venturing an opinion?

Am knackered, pox boy miserable, mommy miserable.

Tis Friday though

kayzisbroody · 29/02/2008 09:54

I love the clear blue ones.

I have 4 tests left but I really really want to go buy a clear blue one.

I have no will power at all. I just went into the bathroom to get my hairbrush and saw the tests and I wanted to do one!

largeginandtonic · 29/02/2008 09:57

No more testing until Monday at the very earliest OK?

It will only be negative and you will be Wait until later in the week and we will se a BFP!

OP posts:
kayzisbroody · 29/02/2008 09:59

Im not going to do another test until monday.

I promise!!

Diege · 29/02/2008 10:25

Heloooo!!! I'm back from Torchwood land, and am just getting over a migraine from hell (anyone else get them??).
Kay, it really was too early to test I think (I've actually never got a positive until I've been 6 days past af date, and that's when I've ovulated day 13/14, and usi9ng early tests).
Have just skimmed through the thread (it's like having a second job, but a lot nicer!!). Hi to Christobel (your name was on my girls' names list, but dh won't even contemplate )and also Calsworld - nice to meet you both .
Re: sex, we are also a once/twice a week, mainly due to sleep issues and me not getting back in until 7 2 of my 4 days at work. Having said that, we will pull out the stops ttc time! My tip is do have your GOF mid-evening, downstairs, before dinner, then you don't get 'past it' and have your grub to look forward to after . DH does draw the line at keeping the tv on though (even 'muted') - can't blame him really!
Have been having some strange dream recently about ttc - last night ny due date was Aug, and I felt really sad aboutthe timing. Then I has some brown blood, so was upset about that, then fast forward, had a baby boy!!! Obviously my subconscious is 'pinking up' on all our ttc talk .

Diege · 29/02/2008 10:25

picking up

kayzisbroody · 29/02/2008 10:34

I know it was to early Diege. But the instructions said that it can give you a result 7 days earlier. So I just had to try.

I dreamt that I was in labour on top of the empire state building the day before my due date with ds.
