OK...so I haven't been on for a while...mainly was too depressing as couldn't try to TTC as OH was still away. He's back now and [crosses everything humanly possible] hopefully will have a BFP in the next 2 weeks! I'm only at DPO3 but already symptom spotting (or as my friend pointed out...when I do it at work its just procrastination!!!)

So...any other symptom spotetrs out there??

They are Predictor....not particularly cheap but the control line almost requires squinting! I'm a little annoyed!!

2beautifulgirls · 15/06/2008 07:54

i've used those predictor tests Emma, the control line is hair thin isn't it?

Well AF due today and no sign, feel a little crampy BUT me and Hubby had a GOF last night and he said it felt different than usual more squishy and soft and i have checked my cp today and its unreachable and very soft. Fingers crossed.
Can't test today as no tests, will hopefully get them in the post tomorrow and then POAS.

congrats, chilledmama, what an excellent early result
and commiserations piggysneed, we're on cycle 12, so I have much sympathy. Keep trying [tentative hug]
Ses, this sounds like an absoulte saga for you, I hope the hospital can give you a clear picture of what happened.

Well, I haven't tested yet, was very tempted but backed away, as I really can't expect AF till Tuesday. I can't see myself resisting tomorrow though - shall be looing for your news, 2beautifulgirls. Still have the odd taste in my mouth, but I never got that with DS, and I've no constipation (sorry!) which was my one and only symptom with DS. Ho hum (goes quietly mad in the corner)...

CaptainKarvol · 15/06/2008 14:29

Arse. I'm out. Good vibes to all remaining 'in'!

2beautifulgirls · 15/06/2008 14:33

Sorry the witch got you Karvol, don't think i'm far behind, soooo bloated trousers are bursting!!!

Congratualtions chilledMama

I was just about to write well I havent given up hope yet and then realised that that means I would definitely want a positive which is an odd feeling.

I tested again this morning 6 days till I'm due so still too early really but I had another very faint line yet not as faint as yesterday so I'm wondering if they are in fact getting stronger. We'll see. Good thing I have loads of these tests really.
I don't know how I would tell my parents/ in laws etc if I am let alone hubby. though he'll have to lump it seeing as he was party to it anyway.

chilledmama · 15/06/2008 18:31

i feel like sh*t today...I thought morning sickness wasn't meant to start until at least 6 weeks. I've had waves of nausea all day so tires too but i remember that from last time!!

Off on a business trip tomorrow for the night - i have toget up at half 3 to catch the plane (groan) so off to pack now - good luck everyone - at least I wont be able to test until Wednsday now

Morning ladies!!
Chilled hope you are not feeling to bad today!

I tested again this morning using a 10mlU stick from access diagnostics and it was a BFN very thick, very dark control abd the rest stark white but absolutely NO sign of AF!! Who knows what my body is doing!

Any more testing happening?

2beautifulgirls · 16/06/2008 09:17

Sorry about your BFN today Emma.

I will be testing today just waiting impatiently for the posite to deliver my tests..... Doesn't usually arrive until 12ish. i'm CD 30 today!!!

What CD are you Emma?

emma2617 · 16/06/2008 10:33

2beautifulgirls I'm CD 29...think I will try and wait until at least Thursday before I test again as that will be CD32...if AF doesn't arrive before then that is!! I am now waiting impatiently for your postie to arrive!!!

emma2617 · 16/06/2008 23:17

Well ladies...I am very disappointed...no symptoms?! All day?! It's just not good enough!

I have been really funny with my food today..nothing really took my fancy...which is very unusual for me!! And I had a couple of twinges which were uncomfortable with one verging on a quick sharp pain, nothing like the constant dull pain of AF cramps.

All I know is, until TEW arrives I will continue to symptom spot like the best of 'em!!!

2beautifulgirls · 17/06/2008 09:48

Morning everyone, twas quiet on here yesterday. Well still no sign of AF for me and Got another BFN this morning.
Have no idea whats going on.

On the symptom front i have been having awful reflux/heartburn whenever i eat and drink anything.
Plus i have no appetite.
Having AF type cramps past few days!!!!
?Its not over until TEW rears her very ugly head.

emma2617 · 17/06/2008 11:05

Well 2beautifulgirls I am glad I'm not the only one without a clue!! CD30 today with no sign of AF and the only thing remotely symptomy is a strange taste in my mouth, as if I haven't brushed my teeth (which I have!!) but it is not in any way metallic!

Oh well...I'm not testing until Thurday at the earliest! I can't afford all these BFNs!!

I did dream I gave birth last night hough, was very bizarre! Plus I kept forgetting the baby and leaving it in random places, not good!!

2beautifulgirls · 17/06/2008 12:21

i'm CD31 today just feel wierd not right but can't put my finger on anything.
I had a dream last night that i gave birth in a pool !!!!

cakesandchocolate · 17/06/2008 16:29

Thought it was only me spending squillions on wasted PG tests.
This is me..TTC no3, 6th cycle, had 2BFP's then mc virtually next day, then nothing for last 3 cycles. Normally 30 day regular, but since TTC has gone wappy 21 to 32 days with the occasional mid cycle spotting. All very confusing, don't know whether to see GP? Thought I'd give it 1 more month.
Due AF (prob, all a bit random) on 23rd, already tested!! (-ve)
Have v sore boobs, or is it imaginary...

Ses15 · 17/06/2008 19:34

Hi all! Sorry I've not posted for a couple of days. I guess I'm just not symptom spotting at the moment. I've got another scan at the EPU tomorrow to try and see what's going on. I just wish it'd get sorted so that we can think about ttc again!

ontheup · 18/06/2008 10:16

Well, I'm out this month girls. Bum. My cycle is all over the place - last month 30 days this month 25! Was quite convinced about this motnh too. Bum again. Hope the rest of you have better luck

ontheup · 18/06/2008 10:17

Good luck with the scan Ses

Ses15 · 18/06/2008 10:32

ontheup - sorry TEW got you Are you off on your business trip now? Somewhere exotic??!! Will update you later on what happens with scan....

ontheup · 18/06/2008 10:52

no i got back at half 12 this morning - am knackered! good luck...

emma2617 · 18/06/2008 17:19

ontheup sorry TEW got you

cakesandchocolate how are you today? Don't feel alone in wasting loads of ££££ on tests...I am very much the same!! How long you reckon you're going to be able to wait til you test again?

I am going to see the doctor on Monday to see why I have been feeling dodgy for over a week. I have been seriously dog tired despite getting at least 7 hours sleep a night, so tired that I have struggled to keep my eyes open at work...not good!! Plus periods of light-headedness and nausea, I want to feel better so that if/when AF eventually arrives I will be ready for BDing!

Hope everyone okay!

Ses15 · 18/06/2008 17:26

Emma - Hi! Are you still planning on testing again tomorrow?

emma2617 · 18/06/2008 20:10

Hi Ses I don't think so, I might try and wait until Monday so that I can have an up to date result for the doctor!!

How is this for tired...slept from 11pm until 6.30am, been so tired I could bearly keep my eyes open at work this afternoon, got in at 5.30, fell straight asleep and have only just woke up!! And I still feel I could sleep some more! That has been my routine for the last week
