Thanks lissie I am pretty impressed, is self restraint a symptom?
I ahve never had any before!

nunnie · 16/03/2009 18:46

I appear to type so quick I very rarely manage to spell have correctly

Is that a symptom too?

OracleInaCoracle · 16/03/2009 18:49

both self restraint and missspelling are syptoms

Hey all just got back from work and after a trip to tescos thought id let some of you know Tescos are doing a pg test offer 4 tests for £9. (i bought some but will not be using till my decided date)Not to be used before your dates you've decided on .

Liskey · 16/03/2009 21:12

ooh that sounds a good offer - I'll be driving past Tesco tomorrow....now so I test or not Day 28 tomorrow!

shirleyc · 16/03/2009 21:16

ooh day 28..... hmm maybe im not the best to suggest doing the test i say at day 28 go for it, hope im not encouraging you to do it to soon
Good luck let us know how you get on

Liskey · 16/03/2009 21:22

Since the mc last year I've tended to a 27 day cycle but its been a bit funny lately - had flu and ended up with a 42 day and then a 14 day cycle - thanks body for that (so it ended up being roughly when it should have been!)

I'm trying to be strong.....hold out till later but the willpower is fading

OracleInaCoracle · 16/03/2009 21:29

liskey, if your cycle has been a bit funny i would leave it an extra couple of days. my body always tends to even itself out by itself, eg 30d cycle one month, 26 the next, then 28 until the next "blip"

shirley, thats a really good offer, may pop in myself!!

OP posts:
Liskey · 16/03/2009 21:33

i think your right really, lissie - i keep telling myself not to get too hopeful - that AF could start any time soon.

Liskey · 16/03/2009 21:36

So if i go and buy those tests that'll mean i'll have 6 in the house - does this sound slightly excessive?

OracleInaCoracle · 16/03/2009 21:49

not if you leave them til next month!

OP posts:
Joycey29 · 16/03/2009 21:53

HI guys, home early!
Yes LIskey six does sound excessive. However I am a fine one to talk I have 2 in my tea towel drawer ( so not tempted when I pee) and bizarrely one in my glove compartment. I feel a bit like an alcoholic on the wagon with secret stashes - I am going mad!
Feeling crap today as no symptons appearing and not even tired after 14 hour shift- not looking good

Liskey · 16/03/2009 21:59

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you Joycey29.

I hadn't thought of keeping one in the glove compartment thinking if I buy anymore the drawer in the bathroom won't hold them all - they'll start taking over the bedroom as well

OracleInaCoracle · 16/03/2009 22:00

oh joycey, it aint over til the evil witch sings!

lol at being on the wagon, im not really tempted yet, although my boobs are enormous. seriously massive, its easy to tell coz im normally so err flat petite. only a week to go!!

OP posts:
Joycey29 · 16/03/2009 22:01

I think my boobs have shrunk!

Joycey29 · 16/03/2009 22:02

On the other hand I am irrationally angry at my husband for no good reason

OracleInaCoracle · 16/03/2009 22:12

ah, now that IS a symptom i just keep showing dh my boobs "do they look bigger?" "are they veiny?" "dont touch them you knob, they fecking hurt!"

OP posts:
Joycey29 · 16/03/2009 22:14

bugger! mine don't even feel vaguely sore! Think its time to go to bed and hope for a sympton filled day tomorrow........

OracleInaCoracle · 16/03/2009 22:15

they are probably pre-period boobs anyway!

4thtimelucky · 16/03/2009 22:15

nunnie - please add me to your list. Not so much ttc but wanting to even though it's a really stupid time to (some of dp's team laid off today and one of my team potentially going down to a 2 day week) but we realised lovely holiday week last week was probably not so sensible for the good stuff. But now having realised I am gagging for BFP. Only 12 days til 28th...

OracleInaCoracle · 16/03/2009 22:19

liskey, are you a 23rd or 21st gal?

OP posts:
shirleyc · 17/03/2009 06:34

Thats the double packs tescos tests i mean, 2 tests in a box so 2 boxes for £9.

4thtime- we can test on the same day!I know how you feel it seems long but it isnt.

Joycey - LMAO at your boobs so anger has shrunk them?? hahaha - although anger - symptom

Liskey - maybe leave it till day 30 then and as for how many tests in the house i have 4 now so we can be obsessive together then.

and everyone else Hi!!

nunnie · 17/03/2009 07:28

My boobs are shrinking, and the colour change I thought I had seen appears to ahve been in my head.

Hallucinations (sp wrong) is that a symptom?

6 days to go!! Not counting promise!!

I can't buy anymore tests, I have three already I don't want people to think I am obcessed with this whole TTC.

Right I am off to tesco to do my shopping you understand, just need to find my local one

shirleyc · 17/03/2009 07:48

Hmm having one of those days where u think 'did we do 'the deed' at the right time??' Feel like ive been attached to my calender checking dates constantly to be 'sure' Wish i'd recorded the actual day i came on rather than guessing from last month so guys give me an idea that dates etc are about right please............

tmi information alert

Last AF finished on 2nd March and normal af is about 4/5 days so i guessed i came on around 26th Feb. We've been together 15 years so dont have much nookie just being honest im sure some of you know what i mean!

Had nookie on 2nd, 4th, 13th, 14th and 16th. (he's not been neglected in that gap he just wasn't sure he wanted us to get pg this month and then all of a sudden was like hmm ok lets go for it and see what happens! so we missed a few days .

So seeing as this is my first month of ttc do you think theres any chance at all? Read on some other threads about looking for signs of ovulation but have BV at the moment (on antibiotics)so its not so simple to look for symtoms.

Anyway sorry if tmi just thought i'd ask im so new to this whole thing!

thanks guys if you say no well its been a fun month anyway having abstained from nookie for so long, bear in mind we came of the pill 1 1/2 years ago.
