oops, i meant Fanlight - sorry

I'm CD19 today,still too early for me to test. I ordered some tests yday which should be here tomorrow, only cuz I have to walk 2 miles to town and i haven't felt very well for the past week I'm symptom spotting like mad and so far I've got every possible symptom out there. DP reckons I'm imagining them all tho lol I'm not gonna test until CD28. I bought early detection HPT's so we'll see how that goes. I'm gonna lurk on here for part opf today and then make cakes with DD lol

nervousal · 14/08/2008 09:52

This symptom spotting is a blessed nightmare! HAve spent the last 2 days wondering if my boobs are sorer that they usually would be pre AF, or if its all in my head. On CD25 - should still leave it for a few days eh???

littlemissmischief · 14/08/2008 09:54

sfxmum · 14/08/2008 10:08

good morning all

I would dearly love it to be true but not getting my hopes up ttc #2

good lick everyone

ForeverOptimistic · 14/08/2008 10:19

Hi all, can I join?

I am 35 and have 1 ds aged 4. Last month was the first month of ttc, my cycle is very irregular last month af arrived on cd41 and I wasted lots of money on pregnancy tests. Currently on cd7.

cupcakeandtea · 14/08/2008 10:58

I'm going mad symptom spotting!

Last night my gums started bleeding as I was brushing my teeth and I thought that was a positive sign - nutcase!

I think I OV'd last thursday as tons of EWCM so that would make me 8DPO. I've tested for the past couple of days with ebay cheapies and all BPN's.

I'm convinced AF is on it's way. My boobs are so sore and i feel absolutely shattered but I keep getting twinges on my right side but that could be wind I suppose.

I had a poss CP last month so I'm trying to be positive but at 36 and PCOS sufferer, there's no way this TTC lark is going to be easy for me!

sfxmum · 14/08/2008 11:03

cupcake is it your first? I conceived dd when I was 35 and I have PCOS now 39 and trying for #2

Jael · 14/08/2008 11:10

My tests have just come, trust the internet to be early for once lol I will not test, I will not test walks off repeating to herself

cupcakeandtea · 14/08/2008 11:18

hi sfxmum. Yes this is my first. I'm on metformin which seems to have had an effect on my cycle in general but that fear is lurking. Mind you, as I've said on here before, my gynae said if he had a pound for every PCOS sufferer who's got pregnant, he'd be very rich!

sfxmum · 14/08/2008 11:23

jael be strong

cupcakes the thing with PCOS is that it affects people differently, I seem to be ok if I keep my weight below a certain threshold
but have also had a few mc which seem to be related

bluestarlavender · 14/08/2008 11:26

Hi guys, sorry to jump on your thread, but I just wanted to ask Cupcakeandtea a quick question...I had a weird feeling in my mouth last night, like it was all cotton woolly and this morning when I brushed my teeth I was literally pouring with blood. All my gums look a little red and inflamed...is this what you have?

I think I OV'ed Friday or Satuday last week.

BSL x

cupcakeandtea · 14/08/2008 11:28

Yeah, you're right SFX - it's a very individual condition. I think I had the early mc last month because I stopped taking the met so I've stayed on it this month. There does seem to be a significantly higher risk of MC with PCOS and I think the met counteracts that (only what I've read on the internet though!)

Oh well, we shall see on Sat if AF arrives or not.

yellowflowers · 14/08/2008 11:43

oh no i can;t be trusted! I just did my clear blue digi and bfn. silly because cycle day 23 or 24 today and usually have 30 day cycle and it wasn't first morning urine. Silly silly me. Boobs tender though and feel sick, but that means nothing really. gah! Hate myself. Am going away for the weekend so won't be back until Tues so won;t test until then again at least.

littlemissmischief · 14/08/2008 12:51

Well I have just been out for a bit and managed to not think about it for a while, but now just spoke to my mum (who doesnt know we are trying) and told her my stomach was hurting and it feels like someone has kicked me to which she repied ' oh you had that when you were pg with DC1' she then asked if my boobs hurt, I said yeah a bit so now she is all excited and it has raised my hopes.. probably for no reason but im clutching at sraws here!

Waiting2Exhale · 14/08/2008 15:12

Athernoon ladies

Not my usual time for chit chat but as DC is alseep I have found myself in the position to conversate... .

JLO2 - thanks for updating the stats and no, don't be silly, I don't mind at all. Am away this weekend and was hoping someone would keep them up as like you I find it difficult to keep up with everyone.

Big welcome to foreveroptimistic, dinkyboysmum and littlemissmischielf...wishing you all, like everyone else BFP at the end of your cycles.

Tink08 - its not over yet so be strong and maybe wait a few more days to avoid disappointment

Littlemissmischief - am all excited for you. Would love to be in your position where I was experiencing similar symptoms to when my DC was conceived....fingers crossed... when do you intent to test.

Me - am await until monday again which is good as am only 4DPO and this will take my mind of things and get me closer to my test date .

Will be checking on you all whilst away if i get a chance...this is sooooo addictive I feel like I've missed loads if I havn't been on in a day....

check you all soon...

yellowflowers · 14/08/2008 16:01

HCG I meant, not HPT!

littlemissmischief · 14/08/2008 17:40

Thanks waitingtoexhle also now feel sick but starving at the same time which i know i had with ds but sure it was further along the pg so sure im trying to convince myself.. starting to think i should be locked up im gonna start hallucinating and everything soon i think..not sure when to test really because of the irregular period but was tinking next fri maybe althought how do i wait that long!!!

twoplease · 14/08/2008 18:16

Evening all,

littlemissmischief, i feel abit like you, starving but not wanting to eat certain things either - pretty sure its imaginary though - also am trying to lose a bit of weight so it probably is that i am actually very hungry

I still grumpy though - pretty sure that isn't a symptom!!

littlemissmischief · 14/08/2008 18:45

Just had my dinner and now feel really sick but putting that down to eating too much. My belly is really hurting tho but not like period pain it is strange. Cant remember if i had it with ds but hope so! Although it could be totally different this time i suppose - oh the things we put ourselves through

Ella74 · 14/08/2008 19:08

Hi everyone, on CD27. Will test on Monday. Expecting AF on Sunday. I just have a question. I had EWCM on day 8 + 9 but then again on days 20 and 21. Has anyone else got the same experience? Does it mean I ovulated twice? Thanks

RipMacWinkle · 14/08/2008 20:44

Hello - am just checking in. ABout to back up and read everyone's posts.

JLo2 - thanks for updating the list.One thing though - can you update me? I'm only on CD8 not CD18 so I've got aaaggggeeeessss to go yet...

Good luck with all those BFPs.

MintChocAddict · 14/08/2008 23:54

I'm grumpy and starving all the time. Must be permanently preggers.
Nothing new from me. Think I'm around CD14ish. Very hard to tell though due to bizarre cycle.
OPK don't work with my cycle so bit of a guessing game. Here's hoping.
