Mabh - the window licking was an idea of another mumsnetter - I was happy to just rock in a corner whilst I go slowly insane! I do hope you enjoy your weekend! No quickies allowed!

PlantASeedWatchItGrow · 12/11/2009 17:54

lou I had the chemist own brand, probably similar to the e-bay ones but just inside plastic. I did go back up there to try to get a clearblue (I saw them in superdrug for £8.50 for two) but they only had digital ones which were £8.95 for ONE!

So I will have to wait until the weekend to go into town for the normal CB unless AF gets me before then!

Knowing my luck I will test, then Af will come along a few hours later!

evening ladies

based on plant and loujalous logic, im off to stock up on liver, cat poo and vodka

mabh - not sure how to explain the window licking without possibly offending someone dont know if its more or less offensive to just say that its a hint at being "special"

Lol at DHs, mine has informed me that he won't do it unless i'm fertile because it's a 'waste' Am considering telling him a little fib tonight

Evening ladies

Where is my POAS buddy? I am getting itchy and will have £20 burning a hole in my pocket tomorrow. Due on 19th, that's 6 days early, shall I splash out on a FR?

Stop me wasting my money ladies.

So had my progesterone test today, they've done
FSH
Thyroid
Progesterone and LH

so we will see.

Anyone else sitting on their hands over the weekend. ?

QueenMercury · 12/11/2009 21:25

omg, i don't know if i'm seeing things but i just did a test (i don't know why because af is not due for 5 days)and i'm sure i can see a faint positive line!

i stopped taking the pill on 17/10, had a withdrawal bleed from 21/10 so counted cd1 as that day so shouldn't be due af until next tuesday/wednesday.

am i just seeing things or is this possible?

i'm going to do another test in the morning to see if it is any stronger

bigmuther65 · 12/11/2009 22:05

God CD4 not long now till the fun starts can,t wait for my 2ww.
How exciting QueenMercury fingers and legs crossed(well AF is still here) for you

PollyPoo · 12/11/2009 22:22

Lia I'm here buddy! I am being very good and not testing.... I'm not even wasting my time looking for symptoms as I have none, not even the usual hurty boobs. Which could just mean the droid is running late this month, grrr. How about we hold on til Sunday? Then if its a -ive, we wait until Thurs. Is that a good compromise?

Blimming 'eck Queenie, you didn't hang around did you?! How long did you wait before seeing the line on the test? Good luck with the text in the morning, let us know how you get on.

liahgen · 12/11/2009 22:32

Ah polly there you are.

Ok, it's a deal. Can buy some christmas pressies.

Fingers crossed queenie

Loujalou · 13/11/2009 07:58

Was also going to buy Taking Charge of your Fertility. That is bound to mean I get pregnant. Its got to do the trick...

Look at you all with lots of restraint. I wonder who will crack first. Not that I have no faith in you or anything....

ToffeeMuser · 13/11/2009 08:41

Morning everyone

Good Luck Queen

Well I might be able to get into town today to buy a test. But don't know whther to wait for FMU or just do it tonight. Going to buy a clearblue, so I know it will be accurate. Spent ages last night looking at evapouration lines/faint positives on the internet, still don't know what to think. Hope it's my lucky month, but I will soon know!

x-posted Toffee!

Chulita · 13/11/2009 09:14

Argh! Got 2/3 more days to wait and don't feel at all pg I felt like I had food poisoning with DD when I was about 3 weeks in so I'm not holding out much hope. I keep imagining sore boobs but then I only stopped bfing about 3 weeks ago so any weird aches could be that. Anyone get pg and not have the slightest clue til AF didn't show up?

mrsZaC · 13/11/2009 09:18

Hello all...

new to this game so hope you will be gentle Oh and appologies if I'm not using the right terminology... it's all a little gobbledy gook to me @ the mo but I'll learn

Driving myself insane at the moment, convinced that I'm pregnant, however I have convinced myself (&had preg symptoms) a couple of times when i was on the pill and I wasn't preggers so I'm trying to take it all with a pinch of salt, but as I'm sure your all aware, that ain't easy.

I took my last pill on the 26th of October... with the first day of my last 'period' being the 22nd of October... Obviously it's hard to track my ovulation as I haven't had a 'real' period yet. I estimated ovulation around the 4th of Nov, and ever since then I've had the following...

0dpo - 2dpo nausia, very tired
3dpo - banging headache all day
3-5 dpo - creamy coloured cm (visible in underwear) -ewh!
6dpo-now - twinges in lower abdomen, constant bad lower back pain (as if AF is coming)_very bloated stomach.

I think the lower back pain is the one that's driving me crazy, I always get this the first day of AF, or just before but it only usually lasts 2 days at the most and this is day 3 now and AF isn't due till next week... if my cycle is still the same as when i was on the pill.

I know I'm clutching at straws and I wish I didn't do this to myself, it's all I can think about at the moment and it's driving me crazy!!!!

Sorry for the long post, just had to get it out of my system

TeaFan · 13/11/2009 09:33

Lia those are the same tests I had when I went to the doctor for a period that was 3 weeks late and also mentioned weight gain and chin hairs , they came back fine so does this mean i've had fertility tests? We weren't TTC at the time but it would be good to know if my body is definitely doing what it's meant to... Gosh, I just thought she was testing for a hormone imbalance, seems like she was very thorough

I hope that yours all come back ok

Chulita one of the ladies that just got a BFP on the July bus posted to all those in the 2ww saying not to worry about a lack of symptoms as she had none whatsoever

TeaFan · 13/11/2009 09:37

Welcome mrsZaC sounds like you'll fit right in at this mad house on this bus

What are your stats?
TTC # (which child are you trying for)
Cycle (number of cycles you've been trying)
UCL (usual cycle length)
CD (which cycle day you are on)

PollyPoo · 13/11/2009 09:58

Louja how dare you insinuate that we will cave and test early! It will be her!!

Lia why don't you buy some cheapies on ebay - you can 20 for about £5 and they are the ultra sensitive ones - 10miU (or whatever the letters are). Then you can spend the other £15 on wine/vodka/chocolate in preparation for commiseration/celebration!

I'm wondering if having no symptoms can be in fact be a symptom? I usually get very sore and swollen norks a week before the red witch arrives, but this month, nothing. Of course, it probably just means I am heading for a late AF and will wake tomorrow with achey tits! Day 23 now... if only I had regular cycles I'd know what to expect - last month was 23 days but that was unusually short.. gar. I said I wasn't going to do this but the madness has set in

Loujalou · 13/11/2009 10:06

Polly my money's on you! Or Lia oh well we need some good news as am having Friday the Thirteenth-itis.

I have given up trying to second guess whether I am preggers as always get it wrong and the time I was I had no symptoms - just tearful until after wicked witch was due. So give up!

randomimposter · 13/11/2009 10:10

so, is queen our first BFP...? And who will be next? I keep tuning in for installments, even though I don't post, cos have nothing inspiring to add ...

well I guess this is my first proper 2ww... am fairly sure I didn't even OV last cycle, but there were some familiar signs this month. Think this 2ww is going to last FOREVER!!!! Planning to test NO EARLIER than 23rd Nov...

I have a horrid feeling that this TTC lark is going to be a bit like my lottery experience.... when I DO buy a ticket, which has been about ten times in total, I have this absolute belief that I'm going to win something, even if only a tenner.... and then when I don't even get a single blimmin' number I'm totally gutted!

So at the moment I'm sure I must be pg... there's a pattern. DS conceived from just 1 BD, MMC conceived from 2, have BD x3 on days 10, 12, 14 this month, therefore bound to happen.... .

ALSO.... DS conceived on sister's birthday, MMC was due date of brother's birthday... MN due date calculator says if I do get pg this month he/she would have been conceived on my other sister's birthday... SO I must be pg... ....

PollyPoo · 13/11/2009 10:15

Sounds like perfect logic to me Jollster!

I know what you mean Louja. When upduffed with DD I had no symptoms whatsover and was shocked as hell when I got +ive. I thought I would just 'know' when I was pregnant, but it seems not. So seeing that I don't feel pg this month and have no symptoms... !!! Or maybe I'm just insane with all this ttc

Loujalou · 13/11/2009 10:18

Jollster I like your logic! Its got to be right. Just like me buying lots of pregnancy unfriendly things is going to help me get pregnant.

Loujalou · 13/11/2009 10:21

Window licking seems quite sane compared to some of the stuff I have got upto! With this TTC malarkey that is.... I think they need to get me a straight jacket.

randomimposter · 13/11/2009 10:25

cool - glad you agree with me.... but be prepared to pass the G&B Butterscotch when I get AF.... ...

BTW only symptom I got last time was the "pee every 10 minutes" for just one afternoon...

butidid · 13/11/2009 11:00

(whisper) 'bfp'..... But had temp for 24 hours and crampy pains, 6 previous miscarriages......
I am going to bed with a packet of bisuits, wake me up in 3 months please.
