It's funny you know, when I was PG a few months ago I didn't notice anything (partly because I got AF as normal) The only thing I remember is being tired, but I'm usually tired at work! The only reason I even tested was because I spotted once about a week after AF finished, and I never spot mid-cycle. Looking back I had no symptoms. How in the hell do women know at 8 or 10 DPO!?
I dunno... I am a sceptic. I think all symptoms before about 4w are imaginary... or at least not connected to pregnancy at all. It's much easier to not play the symptom spotting game all TWW. The only symptom I look for is a .
Yeah, I am exactly the same. I just can't see how you would know! Sounds horrible, but I tend to take the pessimistic approach and convince myself that I am not pregnant just so it isn't such a disappointment when a BFN comes along.
Can't wait to hear your outcome in 10 days time! Give me some hope for IUI
I think that too, although when I got my BFP in March I had cramps for days before I tested and in hindsight that was the only symptom that was something I never get normally
Lets hope we all get the same symptom this month a BFP
Self preservation I guess... I don't want to find symptoms because then there is so much more to lose. Honestly I switch off and the second half of my cycle is easier than the first half, but I blame meds /hormones for that.
hi girls- I'm CD3 already! AF came when I was at work sunday night, I was very happy about that as I only had less than a day of spotting. So, starting letrazole today, have already warned DH that I will be going crazy soon. Scan next tuesday, then hopefully transfer the next week. I love Oing early cos it means my cycle gets happening immediately.
Maruschke- I've never had anyone say anything about Oing early, but my last FS didn't even believe I did anyway, and this one never said anything about it.
Re symptoms during tww- I can never believe people have morning sickness etc in the tww, my last bfp I had no symptoms at all except cramping, other ones i have had massive boobs, or porno boobs as Sunbeam calls them lol, but thats not every time, occassionally I have had implantation spotting . So, you can really drive yourself insane looking for symptoms that may not come for weeeks.
Saffy - I'm glad AF came to you promptly bring on the frostie bub
BIG NEWS I'm super super excited I have decided to quit my job but more than that I'm taking time off altogether . I will hand in my notice on monday then after my notice period I will take at least 2 weeks off even from my private practise then think about maybe a few days counselling per week until at least mid Jan. I made the decision yesterday. I was driving to work and about 5 mins from home I was already in tears I just have nothing left to give this year, I just turned round and came home. I spent most of the day in bed thinking about how I'll never get pg while I have nothing left for myself and that I need some stress free me time . I hate the job I'm in, it was only the money that was keeping me there and I miss doing counselling so much. I am soooo delighted with the decision it feels like I have quit already I am so relaxed. I spent the rest of the day making a lovely collage of baby and pg pics and re scripting my guided meditation.
This morning I was up at 4.45am and went for a long walk along the water, I'm loving it! Now I can focus on exercising, eating well, sleeping, yoga. meditation, floating in the pool, arrr bliss!!! If relaxation is what you need to get UTD I'll be knocked up in no time
As for pg symptoms I would love to know how not to look for them (seriously please tell me) I drive myself mad and like Saffy said the only real 2 that count seem to be porno boobs and cramping neither of which is likely before about 12dpo.
saffy: i hope the medicine doesn't send you too crazy this time
sunbeam: good for you ! will be good to take some time out and concentrate on you for a bit
joeve: fingers crossed for you, hopefully now the weekend is nearly here the next few days will go quickly for you :-)
Maruschke: sorry to hear you have problems with your mum, i have been no contact with all my family for over 18 months so i know what its like to have difficult family !
hi to everyone else
afm: 5dpo and i have a gut feeling there will be no joy this cycle, in fact i could almost pretend im not in the 2ww except doing progesterone pessaries twice a day is hard to ignore !

Sunbeam, that's sounds awesome. I wish I could do that!
Hurry up somebody and get a BFP!
AFM, AF finished today and it's actually one of the most 'normal' AF I've had. One day of spotting, 4 days of light/med and today 1 more day of spotting. Usually I get 3 days of spotting, 2 days of light flow (if I'm lucky) and another 3 days of spotting! So annoying.
M nothing happening here kinda sore bb's which is normal for me and when I got my bfp they only hurt at night at 6 weeks plus so that's not a symptom! I actually feel positive this cycle is a non event.
MM hope you get a surprise!
Yay for normal AF Tasha!!
Hello everyone I am on my phone silly thing makes it hard to do proper persies!
The short version... mum rang up DH and b*tched to his face about his mother, and my mum was totally and completely wrong about the things she said and refused to apologise. DH's reaction to her offended my mum (big whoop you super critical lying cow) and she refused to apologise or even talk to us since. Well there was a family last night and in front of everyone she pretended everything was ok. I lost it and went outside to cry in private and she accused me of being a drama queen yadda yadda yadda. She says nasty things about people all the time and thinks she can say what she wants. Won't cut it in my family.
