Surely that is getting on to be a world record!

Hey ladies,

Liking the sound of the new crime fighting unit i seemed to have joined HEEBY!!

I feel rubbish today. Think my AF is on her way as have cramps and feeling flushed. Had some brown spots on the mid-morning knicker check too (haven't got time slots honest!)
Just waiting for the evil AF to arrive now looks like I'll be watching the thread with bated breath for the rest of you on friday while sobbing into my wine glass!

still trying to keep some optimism though, well sort of!

funtimewincies · 09/09/2008 12:16

I'll use the first of the day, so book me in for 7.30am .

Heeby - ds is (checks ) 21 months old now. Blimey! We're trying to decide at the moment whether to bite the bullet and give the world of (plastic!) big-boy pants a whirl. He's in cloth nappies so feels when he's wet. Combined with a tantrum at every nappy change and sometimes telling us when he's gone/going it might be worth a shot. We've introduced the idea of the potty in a half-hearted way over the summer and he's been successfully a few times.

Shall I just go for it and get the 2001 carpet cleaner out or will I scar him for life because we're too early? If you read the toileting threads, anyone who even thinks about it before they're 3 is inflicting abuse .

Thanks nelix. Ever the optimist!

Heebychick · 09/09/2008 13:48

wannabe It's not over till the AF lady sings!!! I have everything crossed for you (except legs obviously or else i'd make a bit of a mess at my desk!)

nelix bless your little angel, how good is he! don't you just wanna squeeze so tight them sometimes, they are amazing huh.

funtime i would say if you feel he is ready then go for it, do it over a few weeks and see what happens, i have heard that boys take longer and that it is a chemical thing that switches them from not ready to ready so don't beat yourself up about it. We have had the potty lying around and DD will 'sign' potty when she (or mummy or daddy for that matter) go to the toilet so i think we will just build on that. She can't take her own trousers down yet and balance hugely well when crouched so she has a way to go yet. I have a sweet book that someone lent me, i could lend it to you if you want?

nelix we will all be here for you next week, hopefully we'll all be pro's at getting BFP's!

Heebychick · 09/09/2008 13:50

ps wannabe if you have a wine glass to hand at 7am when we're testing i shall be worried and mildly impressed!!

tee hee xx

I am convinced I am not pregnant tho just have a feeling. Think I am having a low moment about it all! I'm not convinced we did enough BD'ing this time round

funtimewincies · 09/09/2008 15:32

Looks like I might have to bow out of the mass-testing too as back pain and spotting have just started. I could be optimistic and tell myself that it's an implantation bleed (never had one with any previous pregnancy) or be realistic and say that AF is on her vicious way .

Just as well I bought that martini in the end . Thanks for the kind offer Heeby, I might take you up on it after all the decorating is finished and we're less likely to lose it!

nelix2000 · 09/09/2008 15:43

oh how I hate this time but love it too!.....I hope some of us get a BFP!!!!......its the waiting then the dissapointment of AF before you even get a chance to test. I am being good and waiting the full 2 weeks but I know the answer already. Come on baby dust!!!!!!

OP posts:
Mylittlebubble · 09/09/2008 15:45

Enjoy the Martini funtime and get jiggy with it for next month's mass testing?

I'm sure I'll be there with you

Heebychick · 09/09/2008 16:06

bubble i feel terrible for leaving you off our list! it looks like it will be you and me in joint peeing harmony! fab! in the meantime be optomistic honey!

funtime i really hope it's not but if you think it is then i hope it's not too disappointing for you, we will all be with you on the 'June is great' thread and maybe we should vow to BD every 2 days to be sure!

nelix i hope you have some of that babydust in your pockets! i have a good feeling about your timing, it sounded so perfect as well.

i have just worked out my dates again (not at all obsessed!) and it seems CD25 is actually tomorrow not today (doh!) so tomorrow will potentially be my spotting day and AF on Thursday - so Friday is still good for me if she doesn't arrive on Thursday!

queenie1 · 09/09/2008 19:31

Hi all. A bit late in the day, but can I join you? I noticed this thread earlier and read with much interest!

Been off MN for a while as had a break from ttc but now back with that same old mad vengence. AF due Friday or Saturday (possibly Sunday, Monday if on longer cycle - I never really know!). Anyway, caved in today and did a digital test. Said not pregnant (of course) but in my childish desperation I demolished the test and saw two blue lines inside. Just posted about this but wondering if any of you have any thoughts on this. Oh, and whether I can join your mutual test-a-thon on Friday!!

funtimewincies · 09/09/2008 19:32

Thanks for the kind words Heeby . The spotting appears to have stopped, so if it's not resumed by tomorrow morning I might be back on (oh the drama !)

Nelix - any spare babydust is being wrapped up (with a big bow of the colour of your choice) and sent your way. Good luck for this month.

Jools1 · 09/09/2008 21:45

Having mild cramps and a little backache low-down on left hand side - feels exactly like it did when I had my CP !! Today is 4 or 5 DPO ...

Fingers, toes and eyes firmly crossed !

Heebychick · 09/09/2008 22:12

Ssssshhhhh jools don't tempt fate! but sounds very promising indeed!! Obviously i mean for the PG not the CP!

funtime how exciting, maybe it was implantation then??? oooh lets hope so! may the night time knicker checking begin! i guess the morning will be the telltale time as that is when it usually starts properly huh. Good luck !!!

Hi queenie welcome to our brilliant thread! i've added you to our test-a-thon list for Friday, do you have any symptoms?

oh and as for the 2 lines, sadly i don't think it means anything, i had read it could but then i took apart the CB digi(we are all test destoyers on this thread - it's part of the joining terms) and i had 2 lines but was not PG. Good luck for the next test tho, you never know.

I wanna do a group test too......oh well lol!!
I had cramps last night v odd, at 7dpo, unless i had got it wrong and it was friday, then it would be 4dpo....if there was still some alive sperm to meet the egg that is!!!!

No AF this morning ladies???WOO!

OP posts:
Heebychick · 10/09/2008 10:11

Nope not for me! today should be the spotting day and tomorrow the big day. Had some back ache this morning but nothing unusual for me, have this quite a lot lately for other reasons.

Now i am very excited about your cramps! obviously not AF so what else could it be i wonder!!!! (secretly grinning for you!)

funtimewincies · 10/09/2008 10:50

Doh, I'm out of the record-breaking attempt. AF arrived with bells on this morning . On the up side, an old friend is coming to stay on Friday and we have my parents baby-sitting so that we can go out for dinner. I can now have some lovely wine and won't automatically be driving.

Good luck for tomorrow. Everything crossed Heeby that the witch stays at bay. Anyone heard how Sparky's doing?

And welcome Queenie. We are a select, but friendly bunch. Within days we'll have you guzzling grapefruit juice and checking your knickers half-hourly with the rest of us !

Heebychick · 10/09/2008 11:08

funtime i'm really sorry about AF honey, i was hopeful for you last night. thank you for my well wishes, yes i hope she stays at bay but actually i have a funny feeling i shall be where you are tomorrow morning.

Glad you have a nice evening planned on Friday, there's something quite exciting about a fresh start isn't there? and you can drink for a week or so! hurrah!

Yes how is sparky? hope all is well and she's not suffering with any nasty MS or anything.

One funny note i have to tell you all, my DH saw that the cartons of GFJ had been increasing in our fridge and obviously i didn't make a point of telling him why i had a sudden affinity with the stuff, but of course he now thinks i love it so much so he keeps buying more and more and 'surprising' me with a lovely glass in the morning!

WanabeMum · 10/09/2008 12:11

Good afternoon ladies!!

I'm feeling very confused so need your words of wisdom. I had a small spot yesterday morning as i told you (TMI i know)and again this morning so i was convinced she was on her way today but still nothing. not quite sure what is going on as this hasn't happened to me before. Any ideas?

Welcome to our lovely thread Queenie better get some grapefruit juice in and no matter what they tell you it doesn't taste nice or bearable!

As you can see Heeby loves it! thought that was very funny about your DH Heeby

So sorry Funtime even if some of us are lucky this month im hoping we wont all leave this thread to go to prenatal?! we need ongoing support (or at least i would!)

WanabeMum · 10/09/2008 13:37

Hmmmmmmmmmm i've been doing some research (dangerous i know!) since my last message and apparently you can have small cramping and some brownish-pinkish bleeding that is lighter than your normal period and still be preggers.
At the moment for me it's only brownish stuff and very little of it but this is day 2.

Help!!!!!!!!

Heebychick · 10/09/2008 13:43

Hi wannabe well i would have to say it sounds much more positive than negative, you know the rule, brown is good, and with no red surely that would be a good sign?? i don't want to build your hopes up and i might be wrong but i would be thinking .... 1st spot - oh no AF on her way ... 2nd spot - surely AF should be here by now so it must be good?

What normally happens with your AF?

I have very sore (.)(.) today, been having twinges all morning and my cramps are still coming and going so am, slightly optomistic ... but then with my track record i've had this before then had AF so am not gonna think anything until that BFP.
