So sorry lissie , you are not a failure hun, please don't think that and please don't give up hope.

Joycey are you OK, anything come of the cramps, it might not mean what you think, give it a few days.

Joycey29 · 20/03/2009 10:13

Joycey seems to have eased now but got quite worried last night.
Keeping fingers crossed!
How are you? Have we seen the witch??

nunnie · 20/03/2009 10:16

The witch hasn't arrived here yet but I still feel her presence!!
So annoying, when you know she is round the corner but she is just keeping me waiting, I think she is planning to show herself on mothers day Naughty naughty.

And to top it all the bloods I had taken last month don't seem to be the right ones, so I am non the wiser as to whether I am ovulating Useless.

nunnie, which bloods were they?

OP posts:
nunnie · 20/03/2009 10:25

21 day blds, and they have told me there are no infertility problems, but only appear to have done a fbc and glu. No progesterone or thyroid

nunnie · 20/03/2009 10:34

I ahve just spoken to a nurse and they did test for Progesterone, prolactin and thyroid. But they came back later so were missed on my request and not printed off PHEW!

All normal.

Joycey29 · 20/03/2009 10:48

That's typical! I have never had a bloods come back perfect... I may the minority but it does annoy you!
Casting anti-witch spells here for you!

nunnie · 20/03/2009 14:13

Who symptom spots when they know there AF is round the corner and can feel her presence??? Me thats who. My coffee taste yuck and I feel tired and sick

Wish it would hurry up and come now, before I have to resort to breast checking!

nunnie · 20/03/2009 14:14

Too late they are fuller (no gel bra) and my nipps are frequently pop star like!

Joycey29 · 20/03/2009 20:41

Could be the phanton symptoms people talk of before they get their bfp

shirleyc · 21/03/2009 10:34

Morning everyone hope your all well today and the witch hasnt done night time rounds to you!

Quick question before i carry on cleaning the skirting boards....... Boobs - normally when af is due they feel a certain way but last night and this morning they almost burn not constantly but a burning type feeling it isn't constant though?? Also i felt travel sick yesterday when i was driving!? I never get travel sick. Sure its nothing but with af due in 6 days would i get any symptoms? DH says i dont feel any bigger.......

Dont wanna be imaginging symptoms just wondered if they could be anything?Thanks!!

as a reminder to myself im now on cd23 about 12dpo (if im on a 28 day cycle)

kerryk · 21/03/2009 10:36

i have finished af now so am looking forward to next month.

cant believe how gutted i was at getting af last week, it was only my first month trying ffs.

because i got my af 4 days early though i think that we had not tried at the right time last month.

looks like we will just need to do it everynight this month just to be on the safe side.

PistachioLemon · 21/03/2009 10:49

Morning Ladies, Is it ok to join you - I'm 33 and have been ttc #1 since the beginning of the year. Your posts made me giggle this morning!

shirleyc · 21/03/2009 10:56

morning pistachio welcome

This thread is a lovely one to be on and im new to it myself, been made to feel very welcome! So your ttc your first, me to.

shirleyc · 21/03/2009 10:57

Nunnie any sign of the witch yet? Or you still wielding your bat?

shirleyc · 21/03/2009 10:58

sorry nunnie missed the above posts i'm having a forgetful day!

PistachioLemon · 21/03/2009 11:05

Hi shirley, lovely to meet you. If you don't mind me asking, how long have you been ttc? For me it's only since the beginning of the year but it already seems like forever. I don't think I've ever been quite so aware of what's going on 'down below' in my entire life! LOL

PistachioLemon · 21/03/2009 11:08

Oh, and I meant to ask, how are the boobies and travel sickness today?

shirleyc · 21/03/2009 11:20

lol heya this is my first month ttc i shall explain it took 15 years to get dh to marry me and the last year been nagging him about ttc, then out the blue on 2nd March after an entire long year of definates NO NO NO he told me he wanted a dc or 2! so here we are on our first cycle still working out cycle days (af due around 26th we think) ovulation dates, tilting after sex and all sorts! Yup we've both never been this aware of down below as we are now and i've learnt so much from the ladies on here and had a laugh along the way.
As for the boobs and sickness, i dont feel sick and my boobs felt burny like this morning and now seem to be ok! Why im peepin in my bra every so often is anyones guess, im hardly gonna grow sprouts in one suden shot! LOL
How about you?

PistachioLemon · 21/03/2009 11:33

Your nagging skills must be better than mine , it's taken me five years to persuade dh to give it a go and I'd almost given up hope when he announced on NYE that he'd changed his mind. Then (and you've got to to love him for this) he decided that he had super sperm and it would definitely happen straight away and was completely shocked when it didn't!

I'm also on a 28 day cycle but got AF last Friday, am crossing fingers for this month, but you just never know. I was the one who was convinced last month that I'd get a BPF

PistachioLemon · 21/03/2009 11:34

BFP even!

shirleyc · 21/03/2009 11:38

lol well i dont really nag i just prompted him to think about it once a week, nagging doesnt get me far this way it was his decision so he thinks . As for super sperm yep must be a man thing as whilst in the car the other day (after morning you know what) he kindly informed me his sperm would be doin what it needs to right now and if not he'll be taking steriods to have 'super sperm!' lol he certainly made me chuckle! We've been of the pill for year and a half now so hoping it doesnt take long although average is supposed to be 3 months so i heard?
As for cycle days we're assuming its 28 days wont know till af arrives this month (if she does that is)

nunnie · 21/03/2009 13:33

Still not here Wish she would hurry up now, so I can get on with planning for next month!!!

I have even purchased a small pillow
