Hello Wanabe Glad the weekend was good - fab weather for you

Did anyone else bawl their eyes out over Tess of the D'Urbervilles ?

pmt or PG symptom !!

WanabeMum · 14/09/2008 22:12

Hey Jools, you lost me. Tess and the who? (sorry!)

Jools1 · 15/09/2008 07:39

Hehe BBC1 drama last night. A Thomas Hardy novel. Poor innocent country girl gets raped by rich cousin, has baby, trials of being an unwed mother in old timed etc etc

nelix2000 · 15/09/2008 08:20

I nearly tested this morning but didnt when I felt AF cramps if I havent bled by tomorrow I will test as planned. Ugh this is the worst bit of 2ww.

Jools1 · 15/09/2008 08:53

Oh Nelix hope I didn't spoil it for you - I just kinda assumed everyone has read that book at school

Whether you know some broad brush details or not, it is still a very good watch

My boobs are still very large and sore this morning. One isolated pink spot of blood when I got up ...

SparkyMalarky · 15/09/2008 09:02

I loved Tess last night....evil cousin indeed! Managed not to cry at that, but had cried at the swimmer in the Paralympics who'd mum had died, and at an article in the sunday papers already that day, so was a bit cried out

Sorry about all the AFs arriving...grapefruit juice, CM checking and OPKs at the ready once again?! I need one of you girls to join me tho....I'm scared to join any pregancy thread in case they're not as nice as you all (that, and I think I'm still a bit in denial )

Any testers this week - or is it just Jools?

SparkyMalarky · 15/09/2008 09:03

(sorry - should have said, any other testers this week.....)

Jools1 · 15/09/2008 09:09

Sparky I would LOVE to come and join you on an antenatal thread

I don't want to tempt fate by thinking about that just now though

Heebychick · 15/09/2008 09:30

Good morning ladies,

wanabe your DH and mine must be of the same stock, mine said the same thing! he kind of wants to know but at the same time doesn't because he doesn't want the disappointment!! he said 'oh i bet you tell everyone on MN about it tho' hmm. Men. Sill since my rant about how insensitive he'd been he has been asking all sorts of questions lately, when i said 'oh i've had a small bleed' just before AF he asked 'what could that mean then?' so i'll give him credit he did take what i said on board.

So ... jools and nelix no pressure then! tons of luck with the tests, hopefully you will both be le to cast aside your GFJ and run off with sparky but still check in on us every now and then on our June thread!

We watched Tess last night, loved it! nasty nasty Alec! We realised that we will miss the final episode tho as we'll be on holiday, humph!

I really love this thread, i also don't think i would of gotten through the last few weeks/months without you guys and yes i too are quite pleased we will be together again through the next month (hopefully we will all graduate this month tho!).

Will be thinking of you tomorrow nelix i have everything crossed!

How is everyone else?

My DD has a stinking cold and feeling a bit sorry for herself so i have put her back to bed with some calpol. poor little mite.

nelix2000 · 15/09/2008 09:37

Jools1 · 15/09/2008 09:45

OMG Nelix

So, so , so happy for you

This is definitely a good omen for the week - and now my colleagues are asking me why I'm grinning like a loon !!

Am imagining feeling definite pulling sensations down below this morning ...

Heebychick · 15/09/2008 10:21

nelix WOW WOW WOW WOW that is soooo amazing!!! See you did have it right all along! well done both of you.

Really pleased for you!

jools this absolutely is a good omen!

wasabipeanut · 15/09/2008 10:32

Hi, anyone mind If I join? Jools mentioned to me that there would be e bif if a group test mid week and I am deperately trying to hold out! Due Thursday but have usually had some spotting by now and nothing yet.

Am imagining several symptoms already.

Congrats Nelix!!

Heebychick · 15/09/2008 10:33

Hi wasabi i'm sure jools would love a buddy as she seems to be alone now that nelix has her wonderful news!

Good luck with your test, fingers crossed for you!

Jools1 · 15/09/2008 11:06

Welcome Wasabipeanut

I did try to reply earlier but internet went down at work !!

Yes, would love to have a test buddy

I'm wondering whether I really can hold out till Friday - more pulling sensations today, I've been to the loo 5 times since 6.30am and the last time I went to the bathroom, I was suddenly overwhelmed by a wave of nausea.

Cautiously getting my hopes up now - surely my body can't imagine all these symptoms, especially my enormous sore boobs !

nelix2000 · 15/09/2008 12:02

Thankyou everyone....it feels so strange!....I knew we had timed it right but never held out much hope to avoid dissapointment! I guess tho, without access to regular sperm we had no choice but to be very very in tune with my cycle!

I will test again on thursday when AF is/was due to be sure....I am still have the odd tugging sensation down below.....oooh come on ladies lets have some more!!!!

so whos testing midweek???

OP posts:
WanabeMum · 15/09/2008 12:18

WOW congratulations Nelix we all knew you would be next (secretly) you are so in tune with your body it's amazing.

I'm so very pleased for you!

C'mon Jools another BFP would be a fantastic way to finish this thread. And good luck to our newest member wasabipeanut too!

Hopefully the rest of us will be following in your footsteps next month ladies

Jools1 · 15/09/2008 12:19

So Nelix - if you look back now, what were your symptoms ? - just the dragging feeling, or something more ??

nelix2000 · 15/09/2008 12:26

I really dont think I had symptoms jools I felt a cramp or two 6 days after insem....then my boobs got reeeeeeally tender on saturday night....and yesterday and today like a tightening across my uterus. Thats it really as I pee all the time anyway lol thats never a symptom for me. I was so convinced it hadnt worked I never looked hard to see any you know??

what have you felt so far?

OP posts:
Jools1 · 15/09/2008 12:33

Interesting Nelix

Well I thought I had faint cramps on Tuesday evening, and thought I had red spotting sometime last week but was trying not to obsess as I've been let down before.

Same day as you - Sat, in the afternoon, my nipples suddenly went really hot and almost itchy. My boobs have continued to swell and I'm beginning to think that they are bigger and more tender than they usually are pre-AF.

Today, I feel kind of odd - heavy down below, with vague pulling sensations now and again. I've been to the loo 6 times in 6 hours and, on one of those visits, got hit by a wave of nausea.

I'm trying to be objective and sensible - I had nausea and dizziness during the last 2WW and it came to nothing. This does seem to be a large collection of imaginary symptoms though, so I'm wondering what the rest of the day will bring.

If we both felt our boobs go strange on Saturday, maybe we are pretty much in synch - you can tell me what happens next

simpletwistoffate · 15/09/2008 12:38

Hi there,

do you mind if i join? just started reading this forum today.

ttc #2, dd1 13months.

due af on thursday, but over the past few days have had some symptoms, nausea, strange taste in mouth, some pain in side where i deffo ovulated.

i couldn't resist doing a test, and got bfn this morning using 1st response test.
going to try not to test now til friday, but its really hard. Didnt get postive test on dd until 3 days after af due, so dont know why i tested today - just couldnt wait.

good luck to all other testers too, and baby dust to anyone else trying.

Jools1 · 15/09/2008 12:51

Welcome simpletwistoffate

There are a few of us sitting on our hands, trying not to test until later in the week so pull up a chair and join us

Symptoms sounds promising - and I guess you know what you are looking for I am trying for my first (at age 38 - eeek !)

yellowflowers · 15/09/2008 13:09

wow nelix fab news - so pleased. bizarrely I got loads of ewcm on sat a week after I thought I had ovulated. we did bd sat night so maybe caught it in time but maybe too late (hadn't since Mon). But very odd. Maybe the grapefruit jiuce did work after all, just a week late.

SparkyMalarky · 15/09/2008 13:41

OMG - I don't check in for 5 hours and........

NELIX HOOORRRRRAAAAYYYYYY

Right ladies, we're on a roll! Jools you're next I'm sure

Nelix - I won't start a new thread in Pregnancy until you've tested again (a hundred times if you're like me!!) (did you use your fancy clearblue digital thingy?) Have you worked out your due date?

Hello all newbies ....this seems to be a lucky thread

Heeby - I hope you shall all be joining us on the same thread - we shall create one for May/June babies for mummies with a love of grapefruit juice and test destroying!

wasabipeanut · 15/09/2008 14:45

Hi again all,

Jools your symptoms certainly sound promising. I haven't got sore boobs or anything but then I didn't last time.

Nothing at all today really. Whether thats good or bad I have no idea. I actually pulled out a test this morning but then put it back!

Hello Simpletest - so I think thats you, me and Jools in the "due Thursday" club!
