Oh kay you are my hero this morning. I'm going to take your info, raise my smile and hope for a full house. (and then blame you when it all goes wrong ) hee hee

Joolsiam · 10/09/2009 10:08

Curly - it is really really common for people to be convinced AF is on her way when that BFP pops up - keep the faith

Good to see you Kaylo I have to confess to having a little lurk on the May a/n thread, wondering if I may be joining - setting myself up for a big fall

Well, today's non-symptom is sore nipples - I'm working in quite a cold office and am definitely very aware of them - then I wonder if I am imagining it all

Spirael · 10/09/2009 10:42

Hi all, just checking in for today.

Nothing new to report... All symptoms have vanished for the last day or two, so I'm back to being pretty convinced that nothing is happening this month. I'm trying for my first, so I'm not sure exactly how my body will react, but I get the feeling it's meant to do something!

Mind you, there is still that little hopeful voice behind my ear. I don't tend to be rather hard to hit with anything... I haven't thrown up since I was a child, I've never fainted, I rarely have stomach upsets of any kind in either direction! I just get a cold now and then, which I sleep off over 48 hours usually. So maybe... Maybe I'll not have too many symptoms?

Or alternatively, a lifetime worth of symptoms will suddenly catch up with me and I'll have no idea how to deal with them!! LOL.

I'm still crossing my fingers for everyone this weekend! Hopefully we'll get a load of BFPs to brighten the day, along with the sunshine that seems to be predicted across most of the country.

Spirael · 10/09/2009 10:44

Doh, I should proof read better!

Mentally edit: "I don't tend to be rather hard to hit with anything..." to "I do tend to be rather hard to hit with anything..." will you?

Thanks!

Kaylo · 10/09/2009 10:49

Please someone come and join me on the May a/n thread as up to now I'm expected to be the last to deliver!! I don't to be on my own near the end of pg!!

I've gotta go now as ds needs to get ready for nursery but will pop back this evening or tomorrow and I hope for graduates

Joolsiam · 10/09/2009 10:54

Kaylo - when I was on the May 09 thread , my EDD was May 29th, so I would definitely have been the last to deliver !!

this time round, I think my EDD would be May 24th if I get the result I'm so, so hoping for - not testing till Sunday or Monday as I loathe early testing, but want to know early enough to tell the EPU before I go on hols on Wed - all this planning is going to be my downfall when the witch arrives on Monday

Sweetpeasmum · 10/09/2009 11:55

No news from me yet. The only symptoms I remember noticing from DS were the boobs! I wasn't being too scientific when trying last time which is playing havoc with my symptom spotting this time. I have all sorts of grumps and am desperately trying to remember if I've had them before.

I'm holding off testing until Mon or Tues which is when AF is due but that seems a long way off. I didn't do a test until I was over a week late last time and this hanging around not knowing is driving me nuts! I'm only on Cycle 2 so I could be going mad for some months to come.

Hope everyone is OK and good luck to us all!

mrsws · 10/09/2009 15:56

HELLO

Can I join in? Havent posted before so not sure of all of the anagrams but i recon i am picking them up ok!
I am nearing the end of my 2WW. I'm normally 30 day cycle but came off the pill and only had one cycle since that did'nt last as long (normaly 5 days only 4) that was 18/08/09 so based on alot of ifs & maybes I should be due on 14/15th september. My best friend has just found out she is 7 weeks - EDD my birthday and I think thats making me imagine poss signs! Had signs with my DS but did'nt know at the time. Certainly did'nt 'just know' I was pregnant like every1 says you will. Glad there are others in the same boat dont quite feel like such a nutter now! x

SnowBunny1 · 10/09/2009 17:56

Kaylo thanks for your encouragment to Curly, I just came on to post a panic post that I have AF cramps at CD27 and read your post about having them with a BFP. I could still be in with a chance then. My hopes survive another day. Hoping to join you on that May bus

Welcomemrsws you are most definatley not alone, welcome to the mad house I hope you collected your straight jacket on the way in - to keep you away from the HPT's before time All nutters together

anyone testing soon, i'm going to try and hold off until next week if i can, that is a really bigif

CurlyCasper · 10/09/2009 18:15

Evening - no period yet . sharp pains through my fanjo and womb area.

snow I'm trying to hold off a couple of days - but I think if my period doesn't appear tomorrow I'll be very tempted to test Saturday.

welcome mrsws as snow said, this is a nuthouse!

Kaylo · 10/09/2009 20:55

I think you're all still in with a chance - symptom spotting doesn't work, it's fun but all the symptoms seem to be the same as AF symptoms

I'm gonna lurk so I can spy on all your testing results Hope you don't mind

Joolsiam · 11/09/2009 08:45

Well I did try a Fist Response just now (AF due Mon / Tues) but it wasn't first morning urine and was a BFN. I only tried it because Im supposed to contact the EPU as soon as I get a BFP, but I'm working away Mon / Tues and on hols for a week from Wed.

I think it is just too early (hope) - still got huge boobs, sore nipples, white lumps coming up. Lower abdomen feels full and tender - couldn't sleep on my front last night. Very gassy, very very tired, no sign of PMT and (TMI coming up), "pushing" on the loo made my lower abdomen ache.

I may go into town at lunchtime, get more early tests and try and save up some stronger wee - otherwise, if the EPU want to prescribe progesterone, I won't be able to get it for nearly 2 weeks

Kaylo · 11/09/2009 08:51

jools I have to say you certainly sound pregnant!! I have every one of those symptoms that you just said - including TMI one

xxx

Joolsiam · 11/09/2009 09:02

Glad to see you are stil lurking Kaylo

Another symptom I forgot - mild seasickness feeling coming in waves every now and then, coupled with slightly increased saliva (I think).

Oh, and I've been up since 7am, had one cup of tea have just had my third wee of the morning

I can't believe I can possibly be imagining ALL these symptoms, but am worried now - I thought with all that is going on, there must be enough hormone sloshing around to show on an early test ...

Bit worried now - I've been so certain - am I about to come crashing down to earth ?

CurlyCasper · 11/09/2009 09:10

hi - sounds good jools

ebay cheapie negative, period not here, still feel sore.

will try to write more later

Kaylo · 11/09/2009 09:16

I have those too!!!
I thought maybe I was imagining the increased saliva but theres definitely more of it!!

It's sounding so good - I can't wait to see how you get on

btw - First Response doesn't always work, neither does CB - I didn't know this but apparently it depends on your LP cos it varies between people. I got a BFN both days before my BFP. (and have tested everyday since.. just to make sure you know!)

I wish you the best of luck - I'm confident for you - it's sounds spot-on!

xxxx

Joolsiam · 11/09/2009 09:31

Thanks for the encouragement Kaylo

I am 11DPO today and remember testing with a clearblue digi last Sept at 13DPO and getting a result. All is not lost yet by any means

Kaylo · 11/09/2009 09:35

Hi curly - How are you? When is AF due?

xx

Jools I'm gonna keep checking - or maybe I'll see you on Ante-Natal?

xx

Spirael · 11/09/2009 10:01

Morning all. That's certainly sounding hopeful for a BFP soon, Jools. Fingers crossed for you!

Nothing happening here at all, no symptoms in the slightest, so I'm guessing it's not happened again this month. Ah well, at least with my relatively short and regular cycle then AF should strike within the next 48 hours or so and I can stop driving myself slowly insane!

I might go and mark out my calendar for next month in preparation, for the nights DH needs to be around and available for duty.

CurlyCasper · 11/09/2009 10:04

another quick visit before I go out for the day with work. cycles post pill (all two of them!) were 34 and 28 days, so not quite sure when due. I have a few cheapies so might test on them till period shows - holding back my other CBD for a special occasion!

don't give up hope yet spi. Are you going to test or just wait for AF?

Spirael · 11/09/2009 10:58

I'm not sure yet... I have a few Tesco cheapies that I might have a go with, assuming AF doesn't show up before then. I think I'll be saving my digitals until I'm a bit more convinced!

If nothing else, I figure the cheap ones give me practice at not dropping the thing down the toilet. I'm never quite awake first thing in the morning!

SnowBunny1 · 11/09/2009 12:58

Hi All

Fingers crossed for you Jools, sounds really promising for you

Well it's day 28 for me today and I succumbed and tested and.......... BFN. It was a boots own brand but I was sure that if I am it would have shown up.

I had to go to the docs this am to discuss my thyroid which is underactive and my hair has started falling out again. I mentioned that I am ttc and said that I am on CD28 but last cycle was 38 days long, she explained to me that it's the length of time before ov that varys from woman to woman and that based on last cycles length I should have ov'd at around cd 24 and not 14 which is when I thought I did.

I feel a complete idiot in not understanding this before, plus I may have buggered up my chances for this month. Just as well we have been having sex for fun as well as ttc

will just have to wait it out to see if AF shows in the next week and then on holiday for 2 weeks so would really like to be sure before I go.

Thats my little moan over

Good luck to all testers this weekend
Kaylo please do hang around, your support and positivity is very very welcome

Curly Fingers crossed for you too

Pinkjenny · 11/09/2009 14:17

Joolsiam - I am going on holiday tomorrow but will be checking for news! I only got a BFP this time on the Sunday after testing on the Thursday. and

CurlyCasper · 12/09/2009 07:14

Looks like I won't be getting this weekend's good result - another no today. So waiting to hear from you jools and spi

Spirael · 12/09/2009 08:16

Morning all! Took a Tesco cheapie test this morning as planned. There's a really, really faint second line on it... I don't think I'm imagining it because even my DH with his awful eyesight can make it out!

It is really faint though, so I'm not entirely convinced it's a BFP yet... Though I think this might mean breaking out one of my Clear Blue digitals tomorrow morning to try and get a confirmation either way.

Temperature is also still climbing... Reached 37.0 C this morning, which is a new record! But then I was quite warm overnight.

Will report back tomorrow morning with the results of the digital.
