Jools1 · 16/09/2008 20:47

So sorry HeadsorTails passing you a virtual, large glass of your favourite tipple

After going through elation to being scared and back again today, I've had one brownish spot today and have convinced myself that my boobs are deflating and stomach sensations were all in the mind AF always starts with one brownish spot, then more arriving 24 - 36 hours later and this would be bang on time

Will see what tomorrow brings, but at the moment I am just really negative and at my body for apparently deceiving me so thoroughly

Then again maybe I am imagining my lack of symtomps

WanabeMum · 16/09/2008 21:33

Hey ladies, sorry headsortails but a june baby would be fab!

Glad you're pain free and happy Heeby, we will all be doing our 2ww together again very soon, seems to fly around but the 2ww always drags!

Nelix i know i'd rather be in your situation than eating soft cheese and drinking wine (sure you would too) but it must be a nightmare to have to give up the things you love so much.

Well im CD7 today so will be back on the BD wagon very soon. My Clearblue fertility monitor arrived today but apparently the latest i can start using it is CD5!!! May just pretend it's my CD5 tomorrow and see what happens and advice? Can't wait until my next cycle, that's defeating the object!

Oh well, hello to all the new ladies if i haven't said this before. This is my 2nd cycle on this thread and if last month was anything to go by, it will be another fab one. The girls on here are a fantastic resource and a huge support so WELCOME!! and share your neurotic-ness with us all (i will become more neurotic as the weeks go on, trust me!) tee hee

Jools don't give up hope just yet, it could be more positive than you think! No AF so far, so still aiming for a test on Thursday. Keep positive!

Mylittlebubble · 16/09/2008 22:07

Hi Girls, I haven't been around for a few days and am so chuffed for you Nelix. I so need to get some Grape Fruit Juice for next month.

Wanabe use that monitor girl! lolsod what the packet says! I dont even know what it is to be honest lol! will go google it for a nosey! mind you OPKs did not help me conceive first or second time! I used my free clearblue test today and was delighted to see it said pregnant 1-2 weeks! I kept dreaming AF would arrive......

June babies will be fab!!I worked out mine is due 28th of may, the same month as most of my family loL!!

SparkyMalarky · 17/09/2008 08:38

Hey all.... Nelix - I think that conception test is dangerous! It's sooo pleasing to see the numbers increase...and am now having to stop myself getting another one just to check!

Heeby So pleased that you're not in pain! And am v jealous of wine, cheese and holidays (we went away in July and it seems like a hundred years ago!). Not quite so jealous of the GFJ!

Wanabe - I completely agree with Nelix. Use that monitor! They're not cheap are they so you want to get your money's worth !!

Headsortails sorry the evil witch got you too...

[waving to everyone else too! am particularly impressed by funtime's sorting!!]

As for me...feel knackered but other than that no real symptoms which is freaking me out. Have my GP appt this morning to let them know I'm up the duff and am worried that in some way that will jinx it...ridiculous I know. At the moment, nobody in RL knows.....

simpletwistoffate · 17/09/2008 09:58

hi all,

still here, had a little spotting yesterday evening and this morning. Hoping that it may be implantation bleed?

but in my heart of hearts know af is prob on the way. Trying to see it as positive in that at least its hopefully start of new cycle.

will see how today goes, and maybe try a test in the morning anyway if nothing much happens between now and then!

on the good side, i wasn't tempted to test this morning!

Jools1 · 17/09/2008 10:22

Morning all

SimpleTwistofFate - here's hoping that is an implantation bleed Where day are you in your cycle - we need to add you to our list ?

I noticed brown watery CM first thing this morning - not something I normally see before AF Have felt borderline nauseous for the last hour or so aswell ...

Checked Fertility Friend and it is definitely telling me that Sept 19th is test day, but predicting AF on 19th or 20th now.

Getting excited / nervous !

Anyone testing tomorrow ?

simpletwistoffate · 17/09/2008 10:37

hi jools1, i'm due af tomorrow, cd28. Will be testing in the morning if i don't come on properly today.

not feeling many symptoms today, and pretty nervous.

hope you have a good day today - roll on the morning.

WanabeMum · 17/09/2008 13:08

Hey ladies,

I've decided to try using the monitor anyway, just lied a bit about my CD so as of tomorrow im hoping it will start checking my hormone levels.

nelix the main reason i got the fertility monitor is to check i am actually ovulating, silly i know but didn't pay full price (£99!!) got it on ebay for half that. Still expensive i know but i'm starting to convince myself that im not ovulating so can't conceive so maybe it will put my mind at rest. (sorry, the obsession/neuroticism is creeping back!!)

Glad both our BFP-ers are well and happy!

Those of you testing tomorrow, GOOD LUCK! and for everyone else, HAPPY BD-ing!!!

wasabipeanut · 17/09/2008 14:19

Hi everyone, well I've had an intersting morning - some vom bug I think. Started at 5am and continued until about 10. At frst I thought - yay morning sickness but it so isn't.

I wouldn't go from 0 to 100 like that. Anyway is calming down now thank god - couldn't even keep water down earlier. Vile. No sign of AF either but I bet this disrupts it.

Hope eveyone else is feeling more lively!

nelix2000 · 17/09/2008 14:59

wasabi I am due AF tomorrow well..w.as due.....anyway...my point being I felt REALLY sick last night for about 2 hours....now it could have been unrelated but given my condition....it could hae been related to!...fingers crossed for you!!!!

funtimewincies · 17/09/2008 19:39

Evening ladies. I've also lost track, but good luck to anyone testing soon. Lol Wanabe, neurotic - moi? .

More sorting and scrubbing today with ds off at Grandma's. And I still haven't done the bathroom. She's not the sort of MIL who runs a gloved finger over your shelves, but I do want it to be nice for her (and sort of justify being at home with ds at the moment ).

I know - more wine! Then everything will look fab in soft focus, result!

Heebychick · 17/09/2008 20:49

Evening ladies - watching the 'restaurant' at the mo feeling very nervous for the guys!

So good luck tomorrow - who is first? wasabi simple jools how exciting! lets hope we have more BFP'ers eh! i have to say jools your 'symptoms' sound great!

I will be back on to GFJ this weekend, am away with my mum and nan Fri-Mon then it's back on track with the BDing! hurrah!

I have had my next appt for next scan which is 16th Oct, 2 days after we get back from hols and it will be CD33 (and maybe BFP by then!!!) i hope i get some more signs of OVing this month, if not i will be following your lead wanabe and getting a fertility monitor or some OV sticks.

Jools1 · 17/09/2008 21:11

Hi Heeby I was watching The Restaurant too but with one cat on my lap and the other one cuddled up next to me on the sofa, there was no room for the laptop !!

According to Fertility Friend, I should wait till Friday to test. Haven't decided whether to hold out till then or not - terrified of how a BFN will make me feel after all these symptoms, so would rather wait as long as possible. having said that, I'm working from home tomorrow and the tests will be calling me from the knicker drawer !

Had a bit of a wobble and started doubting myself last night, then had a little more brownish CM today but - TMI alert - it did not look like the pre-AF stuff - was wetter ?

Went to my spinning class this evening and had plenty of energy but my tum just felt odd, so I got worried and didn't stay for the whole class, especially since I went a bit dizzy on a standing climb and nearly fell off the bike. When I got home, things smelt wierdly strong - cat food, camembert in the fridge ... and I felt really quite queasy until I'd eaten.

If I'm not PG after all this, then I'm going to see a psychiatrist !!

Hello to everyone else Hope you are feeling better Wasabi

nelix2000 · 18/09/2008 08:39

good morning! do we have any good news????Gin...oh I love the resteraunt! tho that father daughter team..the father is a total pillock!!!!

OP posts:
SparkyMalarky · 18/09/2008 09:18

TEST DAY!!!!! am so excited any news yet?

What happened in the restaurant? someone called and I missed the end? Is it the challenge tonight, or did someone get booted out already?

I could not believe that last week that mother and daughter made mango and cream for Raymond Blanc!!!

And yes Nelix - the father and daughter team are hilarious!!!!

Heebychick · 18/09/2008 09:26

It's the challenge tonight! i'm not sure about most of the couples this time! fancy leaving the inspector without cutlery! argh!

The suspense is killing me! lets hope they are all celebrating and too busy to tell us the good news!

Have you joined an antenatal thread yet nelix and sparky? what was telling the Dr like sparky?

I am determined to catch up with you both this month, i feel totally different and very positive (and painless!) plus with lots of sun and sand i might just get busy more often!!!

Jools1 · 18/09/2008 09:27

Hi Sparky

The challenge is tonight - pillock father and his daughter who played safe with only 13 people in the restaurant, the two air stewards who completely ignored Raymonds advice and another couple (girl has dark curly hair) who completely overbooked and ran out of food are in it. The challenge is mass catering at a motorway service station - should be quite funny to watch !

I've just come back from a physio appt - quite painful lying on your front with boobs like rugby balls !

I haven't tested yet - can't decide whether to wait till tomorrow as today is only 13DPO...

come on everyone else, I want to hear those BFP's rolling in

Nelix - I think you meant to type a GRIN and put GIN instead - fabulous freudian slip

simpletwistoffate · 18/09/2008 10:00

Well sparky and nelix, I would love to say I'd definitely be joining ye, but I've no real news yet.

Did a test this morning, and a normal person would say it was a bfn, but it does have the faintest of lines...but then again it could be just in my head at this stage.

tmi, but have continued to have a bit of brownish cm/spotting, but no af, and i wouldn't get this for a day or two beforehand like this time... so still hopeful - then again, had no spotting at all with dd.

Feeling really sick here in work this morning, and have a very tough day of meetings ahead, but at least it will help to keep my mind off ttc.

If af doesn't arrive, I'll test again on Saturday morning.

Thinking of you today wasabi and jools1. Good luck with testing whether today/tomorrow.
Hope everyone else doing well.

Jools1 · 18/09/2008 11:16

Keep the faith simpletwistoffate - you never know, that line may be darker in a couple of days

I nearly caved in and tested - was in the bathroom with one ready - but wiped first, just to check, and could see some brownish CM.

So, I put the test away and will wait to see what today brings. I've had so many symptoms, I'll be devastated if it is a BFN, so I am afraid of it

My AF always starts with a day or two of increasing brown CM, so I am nervous. After two cycles of testing every day from 11DPO, I resolved not to test early ever again ...

SparkyMalarky · 18/09/2008 11:39

Hey Heeby - telling the doc was v strange. I burst into tears as soon as I said I was pregnant as I am worried. She was absolutely lovely, had read my notes about my m/c and ERPC, gave me lots of sympathy, referred me straight to my local hospital and has asked that I have an early scan at 7/8 weeks at least. So....fingers crossed that everything is fine.

My hormones are so screwed that am crying at anything (hence the tears in her office!) which is really my key symptom...that, the weeing (up at least once most nights now!) and from this morning, the fact that I feel quite dizzy and sick. I know that I should eat something but there is NOTHING that I fancy. Except maybe some toast, but am in the office so no chance of that. Oh and I can smell lots of things...which is not helping (could smell someone's hand cream in a meeting yesterday). or maybe I'm imagining all of these things?!

Blimey that was a post and a half!! I haven't joined any antenatal thread yet - you are all too lovely to leave

So what's happened to the testathon? Jools you have more will power that I can imagine; Heeby how are your enormous norks? any other symptoms?

Cannot wait for the challenge tonight now...the father and daughter annoy me SOOOO much, and why call a restaurant Sorbet and Seasons if you don't serve sorbet?!!

I did feel sorry for the couple who've left their 1 year old with its grandparents so they can take part tho....

wasabipeanut · 18/09/2008 11:47

Hi girls,

Great news Simple - as Jools said, keep the faith. A line is a line! Look forward to hearing an update there.

Jools, I hope so much that this turns out well for you. Yo are right not to test early - seeing repeated negatives is soul destroying as well as expensive. I am so annoyed with myself for wasting a test on Tuesday. Fingers crossed at any rate for tomorrow.

Well, I am still feeling sick but have a feeling this is related to whatever I had yesterday because I got some brown spotting this morning which is how AF signals her arrival. Beatch.

PS I watched that restaurant thing too before DH sent me to bed. The cutlery thing was great!
