Bit of history - DP and I were TTC for several years, I had four MCs, was last pregnant in Jan 2010. We continued to TTC for two years after my last MC, then decided to take a break, moved forward with our careers, began to make our peace with the idea that it might never happen for us.

Now, my period is not due for two more days. However, am feeling a bit 'pregnant'. I have been so weepy - watched an episode of Grey's Anatomy earlier (one where Meredith picks up Zola and says 'Mama's here') and sobbed uncontrollably. I have been doing a lot of sobbing over the past few days. I normally only drink water at room temp, to the extent that I buy bottled water and store it at room temp, as even though our tap water is perfectly drinkable, it is normally too cold for me, straight form the tap. For the past few days, I cannot get enough of ice cold tap water. I adore it, drank about 2 litres today. Also, I have loved coarse peel marmalade for as long as I can remember - as of 3 days ago, I cannot abide marmalade with peel, had to go buy the no peel stuff.

My boobs are massive and very sore. I am full of energy, currently bouncing around the sitting room. I am also filled with an intense sense of euphoria. Am so damn happy I'm almost exploding with happiness. I know high energy is not a pg symptom as such, but it has been for me, every time. Also the happiness - I am usually a cynical, pessimistic person, but have always been euphoric in early pg. Finally, I had to go to Aldi tonight and buy some of their frozen jam and cream doughnuts - the last time I ate them was the first time I was pregnant. Oh, and (tmi alert) I have an obscene amount of vaginal discharge.

So, I know the obvious answer is to POAS, but DP is fast asleep and I don't drive, closest 24 hour store is a good 30 min walk away, so going to have to wait until tomorrow. Also, do not want to get DP's hopes up / freak him out. No idea what I actually want from this thread, as obviously no-one can tell me if I am pg. Just need to thrash it all out. Can anyone help keep me sane until I can POAS tomorrow? Aaaargh.

Hey Daffs. Sorry for not responding to you, was working. You have made me cry a bit, but in a good way. Because every time I have MC'd, both mine and DP's Mums have blathered on about how it was not meant to be, was for a reason. Well meaning as that was, it led me to believe that we are not meant to be parents. To have someone say that perhaps DP and I will be ace parents, and that perhaps I am meant to be someone's Mum... That actually means the world to me. Thank you.

Also, Daffs, it is great to come across another weird hospital lover Grin. I was in hospital for four nights in Jan, one of the nurses actually asked me if I was a doctor/nurse, as I was so unperturbed, actually fascinated, by blood tests/IVs/injections...

ImpatientOne, how are you? If you don't mind my asking, has AF arrived yet? I really, really hope it hasn't!

Good to see you Shadows Smile

No AF yet but pre-AF spotting started on CD28 - yesterday - so won't be far behind.

Moving on to cycle 24 now...

Aww Shadows, I seem to have something in my eye...

I can go one weirder on the medical fascination front...

A while ago I had a course of medicine I had to inject myself daily with. I grumbled appropriately but secretly liked giving myself injections and having to have a sharps bin in my kitchen BlushGrin

Hey, Impatient. How are you getting on? You must keep me posted, I shall be expecting a PM when you get that BFP. You will get it. I have all of my fingers and toes crossed for you. Flowers for you, for being so lovely and kind to me.

Daffs, would you judge me if I said that I was a wee bit jealous that you got to inject yourself daily? I would love a sharps bin in my kitchen. Actually, I would love to study Medicine, have thought about it, but I worry that at 28 I am too old. Did you get a perverse kick out of injecting yourself? I hope you are well now, and that whatever you were injecting yourself for was not serious. Flowers for you too, you have also been so very kind.
