dh and I are having a last push at ttc. we are giving it either a year or another mc before we give up (haven't told gp ) so i have decided to reopen the anti-testing thread!

hey nunnie how you feeling today? Hope the cramps have eased up a bit!

Morning Ladies, how are you today?

nunnie are you ok? I get cramps/goings on all the time, mostly around OV and AF but often at other times too. How are they today?

Morning Shirley how are you today? I was quite tempted over the weekend too but you've had such a stressful weekend I'm not surprised you caved. Let me know when you're ready to go again and we can do it together if you want (well slightly out of sync but still together if you see what I mean!).

Morning Liskey I know what you mean about getting obsessed with it. I'm 33 and have not managed to get pregnant yet, but I have pretty much managed to convince myself every month that I am, until AF arrives. I was wondering, wherabouts are you on your cycle?

Morning to everyone one else as well, Joycey, Biccy, Lissielou and everyone I've missed out!

Well I'm very excited today because I got cross hairs on fertility friend today for the first time. Having said that I am also a bit confused (I'm permanently a bit confused these days it seems!) because my temps seems to show that I ovulated on CD 17, but I had most EWCM on CD 18. Also, we BDed on CD17 and 18, but not 15 or 16... so I hope the wigglers got to eggie in time. Don't worry, I will definitely not be testing early but I might treat you to some lovely symptom spotting instead.

I'm also very excited because I have an unexpected day off - classes have been cancelled because of the May Day protests. Woohoo! As you can see, I've now spent an age on here so I doubt I shall use the day to do anything useful. And it looks lovely and sunny outside. WONDERFUL!

What am I talking about Mayday protests, it's April 1. I mean the G20 thingy - you know what I mean!

Hi Biccy, it was my last AF that was heavy and I lost some clots and it was mentioned that it could have been a CP, would this cause cramping after?

Hello other lovely ladies, they seemed to have eased now, so fingers crossed it is all back to normal. We went bonking mad last night, and no pain this morning so unlikely to be Endo which is a relief .

The unexpected days off are the best enjoy it pistachio

hi guys, nunnie its great the cramps have eased how for you! Also very glad you have a good night!

Pistachio i will let you know about another start date for me appreciate you wanting to help me through, how is it going for you??
I sooo hope the little wrigglers got to your egg this month! DH and I are going for it again this month and the bleeding seems to have stopped for now!

Heres to that BFP for all of us this month!
I wanna hear all of your symptom spotting stories, enjoyed them last month although i shant be partaking in them this month, gonna leave it all up to Mrs Fate Keep hearing your most fertile after a mc so lets hope so.

Enjoy your day of pistachio im watching i player and all those programmes i have missed then back to work tommorrow

Thanks shirley, hope you are feeling OK? its good to see you keeping your spirits up. I like you shall be avoiding symptom spotting this month (unless of course I get some ) but I am doing as the thread title says and most definatly not going near a test!!!

Baby dust and of the sticky variety for one and all this month.

In my best Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer voice I really wanta see those BFP!!

afternoon all!

Ok, Shirley and Nunnie, as you've both vowed not to symptom spot I shall have to take over the mantle for now. When can I start? I'm now DPO 2/3 I think. None yet, but I can make some up if you like?!?

Shirley, the non-smoking is going ok but it dosen't seem to be getting any easier. I've just been to the garden centre and and I'm going to spend the afternoon sorting out the veggie patch so hopefully that'll keep my mind off it. DH is pleased with me though, so that's a good incentive. Anytime you want to hop back on the waggon let me know (presuming I'm still on it of course!).

Afternoon Lissie. What are you up to today?

hi pistachio, well done on the not smoking! quiet day today, ds is at his easter party! how are you?

I'm good thanks Lissie. Although in the five minutes it's taken me to type my message and make a cup of tea the entire sky has covered with cloud I'm still going to go out though, it really cheers me up and I feel a bit stir crazy at the moment.

Easter party - that seems to early. Although I suppose it's the end of term so that would make sense. My friend has to make a costume for her DDs pre-school easter party...and she's not the crafty type. Apparantly all the DCs were assigned something and were send home with instructions!

Sorry, that should be 'too' not 'to'. I do know the differrence - honest!

And 'sent' not 'send'. Aarghh!

lol, we had to make jam sandwiches. ds doesnt like jam so we had to buy jars of it which will go unused now in the fridge.

Feck, I'm clearly incompetent today. I blame it on the little box we have to type in! Right I'm running off outside before I embarrass myself further.

Lissie, could you use the jam to make a dessert (jam sponge or cake or something)?

making jam tarts. yum!!!

pistachio its symptom 1!! :Losing your mind

hehe you ought to be spotting them by now i've started the list for you now keep it up!

sounds like your all having nice afternoons, jam sarnies yummy.......ive coooked pasta to do with tuna, mayo and sweetcorn. LMAO Lissie i almost suggested you use the jam to make............JAM!?!?

what veg you growing lemon? hope you dont mind me calling you that rather than typing pistachiolemon each time lol. As for the smoking stick with it, you could have a lucky month this month

(its shirleyc obviously with an easter related name)

hi everyone, hope you're all ok and enjoying the sunshine (at last), sorry i havent got time to read through all messages as i'm being sneaky and have logged in at work, have to be quick.
i'm seriously obsessing re symptoms. still having weird cramp like pains, a lot of bloating, excess saliva, a lot of creamy white cm, also feeling a bit "off" now and again but then I cant stop eating!!! If i've worked this out right, I'm on CD21/27, dpo 11 and I tested using a FR last night BFN, crazy I know but i just couldnt help myself.
This waiting is driving me insane...

missiek, 11dpo is WAY too early. its only 3 more days, wait it out. it'll be worth it to see a huge BFP instead of a faded line that you have to hold up to the light.

ooh lissie nice name change!

missie - def to early to test maybe wait 3/4 more days or if you can wait till AF is late....... Hope you get you BFP!

Hi all

Sorry not had time to pop back in the last few days - busy at work and going to the gym.

Pistachio I'm on CD13 I think as last AF was very strange kept spotting - no spike in temperature at the moment (but that gets tricky with my sleep pattern) or ECWM, still never mind managed to seduce DH last night.

Hey Liskey great to see you back again

Good luck getting your BFP this month fingers crossed for you xx

HI guys! Glad the sympyon spotting is ongoing!
I really got everything crossed for you all!
I have had a horrible week and am feeling so stressed it's nice to hear your banter still flowing fast!
Look after yourselves and no early testing!!!

hey joycey,

Sorry to hear your stressed, whats happened this week? If you need to rant you know where we are

Okay, this will make you laugh... symptom spotting on DPO4...

1. Fecking incompetence yesterday
2. Sore tummy
3. Nausea
4. Tiredness

Wait, no scratch 2,3 and 4... just realised they are due to the massive American Hot PIZZA I had last night! Stupid, stupid stupid!

pistacio is that incompetance or incontinence, both are a good symptom I am sure
