This is me..TTC no3, 6th cycle. Due AF (probably, all a bit hit and miss at the mo) on 23rd, already tested (-ve), silly I know, far too early
Have v sore boobs, or is it imaginary...
And I'm super tired, but then always am with a 3 and 1year old....
Anyone else out there?

That's brilliant news Piper! So pleased for you.
Blood tests all normal - DH says I am malingerer! Promised it was a joke...
So that's good news on the ttc front tho I guess.
Have just finished AF so looking forward to a good bit of creative BD!!!

Anyone?

I'm not even tempted to lure dh into bed in the hope anymore. Ok I'll lure him into bed but I've come to realise that our three will be it. We really can't afford anything at the moment and it does put pressure on our marriage I wouldn't want to do anything drastic. But I do want to hear all about you lot still.

fingers crossed for you all

Hi im back again, ready and waiting for AF this month! Everyone ok? last month AF 22 days so might not be too long to wait this month..

m0nkeynuts · 07/07/2008 21:51

Hello! Can I join??

I'm 6 or 7dpo and I've already started testing

Had cramping a couple of days ago, so I thought "hmm...implantation??" and decided to test today! Have VERY faint lines on ICs and One Steps so I'm going to hold off for a couple of days before re-testing. If these lines are real, I should see a noticeable difference in 48 hours

Symptom-wise I've got AWFUL heartburn, which I only usually get when I'm pg!

Anyone?

monkeybumsmum · 12/07/2008 13:17

Hello! Gosh it has been quiet hasn't it!

Got a BFP a week ago yesterday, but been away so didn't get chance to post...

Feeling a bit queasy now, long may it continue! Had no sickness last time and mc'd at 8 wks.

Any more BFP's?

crunchynutter · 13/07/2008 12:52

Hello -congratulations monkeybumsmum!!

I haven't posted on this thread before but you all seem to know what you're on about so thought id ask for some advice!

I came off DP four weeks ago as we have decided to TTC our first. I have no sign of period but have been all over the place the olast week... boobs have grown/sore, my belly hurts and lower back, i have been to the toilet A LOT and even had random diarreah yesterday which never happens. i have been feeling a little quesy but have not been sick, Am also very tired (have been on iron tablets for a while though so im not too concerned about that!)

Am i being paranoid and is this normal pre menstrual stuff or do you think theres a possibility i could be pregnant? would you know this early on? Is it worth testing?

bekkaboo · 13/07/2008 20:21

cunchynutter welcome! Always worth a test, my mte first month finishing on the pill so possible, also thoughiron tabs makeme feel really queasy so dont rule that out either. Off you trot to do a test and wait for your repsonse, good luck x

monkeybumsmum · 13/07/2008 20:44

Hi Crunchy! I'm not sure about having been on DP, but the symptoms certainly sound interesting. Have you got any tests?

By the way, I got some cheapy tests (10 for £7something) from this site - they're in the purple/white box with Advanced LH written on them. They were just as sensitive as the ClearBlue I used, and I've gone through quite a few - I would be nearing bankruptcy by now if I'd bought the shop ones

Let us know how you get on won't you, will be dying to know!

crunchynutter · 13/07/2008 21:18

Aww thank you! Shops were closed by the time I decided to just test- am thinking I will get some tomorrow though and give it a try! If i'm brave enough fingers crossed!

monkeybumsmum · 13/07/2008 21:27

Ooohhh good luck!

crunchynutter · 13/07/2008 21:43

thank you- i am worried it will be a no and i will feel silly and be sad all week! I will try my best to stay positive either way!

monkeybumsmum · 14/07/2008 20:52

Any news Crunchy? Hope you're okay...

bekkaboo · 15/07/2008 21:34

any news?

crunchynutter · 16/07/2008 16:34

sorry-have been very busy but it was a no mu husband has been great though but its still sad- early days though so i am not going to panic just yet xx

monkeybumsmum · 16/07/2008 17:32

Ah Crunchy, I'm sorry about the -ve test. It is gutting isn't it . Has your period actually started?

I hope you get pregnant soon, but remember it's not unusual for it to take quite a long time - no consolation I know, but try not to worry. Although, having said that, I know how impossible it is to think about much else when you're ttc! Try to relax though, as I really believe it helps. Good luck, and keep in touch!

crunchynutter · 16/07/2008 17:59

Nope- still no period! And i still have sore boobs despite wearing an extra special soft bra etc. I don't know where period is but im hoping shes here soon I am trying to stay positive about it all- i guess i really did think it would happen quite quickly like it did for friends/ family! oh well... the wait contiues! xx

monkeybumsmum · 17/07/2008 08:05

It's not over til AF arrives - if you haven't started in the next few days will you test again?

mamafelix · 17/07/2008 09:55

Hello everyone! I'm new here and this is my first post so apols if I'm in the wrong thread...just can't bear this TWW and need to say something!!

I'm 11 DPO (if my CBFM was correct) and am desperately trying to spot symptoms, but can't really find any! It's my first month charting to TTC after giving birth to my first last Aug. I have always had long irregular periods but it never bothered me until now when I want a second baby (the first was accidental and I didn't notice till about 8 weeks).

I took Clomid days 2-6 as I haven't been ovulating lately, I don't think. Got two peaks on the FM on 5/6 July and my temps are looking good so far, so here's hoping!

Only have one test so can't go wasting it (am in Africa)...

Just wondered what people mean by 'cramping'? Normally with my af I get a lot of pain, but in the last few days I've had a couple of stitch-like moments in the uterine area! I've never had that before and just wondered if that's what cramping means. Maybe it's a sign! Or more likely I'm just getting ready for a huge and gastly witch to come along...

FF says I should test on 25 July which seems rather far off? What do you think? Should I wait 18 days or do it 14DPO?

Good luck to everyone else!

monkeybumsmum · 17/07/2008 12:36

Hi mama, good luck ttc! I think cramping means a similar feeling to period pains. Stitch like feeling sounds positive - I get a pinching type feeling when I'm pg.

If I were you I wouldn't even be able to wait til 14dpo! You obviously have strong resolve... Mind you 14dpo is the earliest I've ever got a +ve, so maybe do it then!

This thread is quite a quiet one - if you've got time on your hands and you're a fast reader there's a much busier one - it's the one with 'wagon' in the title, and is the newer one with probably only about 60 messages or so on it by now. I can never manage to keep up with it, there's always so much going on, but it is fun

Heebychick · 17/07/2008 13:26

Hi all, can i join in. I'm 7dpo (i think) so am waiting till Friday 25th to test. Had a mc last time then a long wait for AF before trying this time.

Went to have tarot cards done last week which said i'd be pregnant very soon! lets hope they were right!

Am shamlessly symptom spotting, have been feeling queasy for the last few days (not so much today tho) and very bloated. Nothing else yet but will keep you posted.

So here's to the next 9 days....
