forshelby - sorry didn't mean to make you question more but praying that it's all for a good reason hehe
possum - how are you travelling??
damprye - hope AF makes up her mind whether she's coming or going
AFM: very crampy last nite and this morn....did get 1 round of bding after i chucked the craps at DF. Told him I was going to bed at 9ish hint hint he said he'll be in soon!! 2.5 hrs later was not impressed as i was in a nice comfy asleep grrr

Possum - When is AF due for you? looks like you me and Reet are almost cycle buddies. I know it's hard to hold off testing. I think I'm finding it relatively easy right now because I keep flip flopping on my symptoms. I feel fine for a few hours, then crap, then fine... so I'm still very undecided. Anything interesting happening in your camp? lol. I like to compare and read till my eyes feel raw.
Damprye - OMG! Test again in a few days, maybe? Sounds really interesting that you still aren't full flow. i don't know about you, but I usually start properly within 24 hours of the first 'pink'. I call it pinking. LOL
Iona - I could have written that myself. I find just saying I'm going to bed isn't enough of a hint for DP. Usually I have to be kind of blunt if I want to DTD. I find physical cues are the easiest. I don't think I need to explain there. hehehe.... glad you still got a round in though, good luck!!
AFM, Crampiness is starting again, and I feel kind of heavy. A little constipated too, and vague on and off tingling in my boobs. One thing I did find noticeable last night was that my nipples seem different. It's hard to describe, but the little bump things seem more obvious, and I swear my areolas are bigger. Also, around the bottom edge seemed a bit weird. Almost... raised and puffy? But just the edges around the bottom. 6dpo today. I find all these 'symptoms' really vague and confusing, and it's very possible I'm just experiencing weirdness after stopping bcp . Still not convinced of any of this stuff, but thought I would share, just in case.
Hi to everyone else, and I'm sorry if I missed a few. Let's hope this thread is as action packed as the last one!
Dory- I am so glad that your fur baby is doing well and yes totally understandable. Week 23... wow
Murray- Having you here gives me hope along with everyone else with stickies ; )
Millyd- Before the site upgrade you could click on add attachment but that is no longer an option so there is only adding it to photobucket that I know of. Congrats on it getting darker and sending you lots of sticky dust and that it is third time lucky.
Hubba_bubba07- Congrats on being into the second trimester, I bet it is a relief : )
TTCALoveChild- Yes definately a lot of pages lol. I hope all goes to plan : )
Reet- Glad to hear thet DH is getting serious and I am dying to know what the result is
T-hopes- hi girls - I hope all goes well and that you can TTC again real soon.
Possum- Hope all is going well : )
Iona Macca- Guys can be a lil thick at times lol. The cramping sounds promising, yet another sign of O : ) Sending out plenty of baby dust your way
Forshelby- I am stalking for Saturday The signs are looking good at least even if early. When I fell pg with DS it was on day 7 of my cycle so perhaps you O'd early : D
AFM- AF has turned "old" so I have no idea what is going on and still not heavy enough to even wear a liner. Still have that weird sensation down there and was feeling rather naucious earlier and very headachey yesterday, possibly all that was just because of "AF". Normally when I get AF it starts off as a morning warning... gives me just enough time to get to the toilet after waking and then I have to go straight onto using "super" pads. This time is so not like me. I wish my body would get back in tune already
I don't think I O'd early, because of the +OPKs on cd 14,15 and 16. Plus that was when I had EWCM. We didn't really bd much before O time, and even then we only snuck 2 rounds in (one 3 days before O and one on O day, from memory). Pretty sure my O day was accurate give or take a day. As for your weird AF, I really think you should test again tomorrow or the next day. If it's unusual to be so light, I would be running for the HPT. A friend of mine had a fake period twice in her first trimester, so there's still hope for you, I think. If not, maybe you're just lucky not to suffer the usual crimson wave this month? lol This stuff is so confusing!
Damprye - I would test - when I fell pregnant in january I had 2 days of spotting thinking that AF was on her way and then nothing...took me a couple of days before I did a test!! FX that it is all that we are hoping it is xoxox

I think that it may just be my body trying to get back on track after last month. I just don't *feel* pregnant, not yet. It is just really annoying me that everything is not normal. I am just really hoping that I still O on time and that this AF kicks in properly and doesn't bugger up TTC for June. I should be able to do some BDing from the 6th till the 13th so FX that my body does get "in tune for June."

Possum- OMG i think we're in the same boat.. i am SO freaked out to test! i so dont think i cld handle seeing a bfn.. ive never felt so scared to do one.. im not sure why i am this time.. Good luck with urs!
Iona macca- I hope u caught that eggy!!! Dont u wish sometimes u didnt need a man to impregnate u.. it wld be so much more simpler if u cld do it all by urself.. no waiting for them to come to bed.. etc. haha
Forshelby- Oh ur symptoms do sound promising! i cant wait til u can test!! yay!!! lets hope ur next few days go quick! Now u just have to wait to see that implantation bleeding!! about 5-8 days after ovulation i was checking every time i wiped looking for blood.. it never came.. haha.. i am so turning into a crazy person!!
Damprye- Arent female bodies just so bloody frustrating!!! oh i hope urs is being all weird cos ur UTD! when did u last test?? And if ur not UTD then i hope ur body is in fine form ready to get in tune for june!!!
AFM- Well still waiting for af to arrive.. day 32 today.. im getting so scared.. theres a big chance the clomid didnt work i guess which means i didnt 'o' so af wont come.. but i so so so hope thats NOT the case! omg omg omg.. this is so so so stressful.. DH leaves tomoro for work.. i think he wld have liked me to do test so if i am pg he cld get excited at seeing the line.. but i just cant do it.. i wldnt be able to handle seeing him get upset.. i can handle things much better on my own. but omg omg omg.. this is doing my head in!! i keep thinking af is coming.. i keep getting random little cramps.. i do remember getting them when i was last pg.. i was always saying to dh.. nope not pg.. af is on its way.. but she never came.. oh i hope that happens this time!! Ash Grunwald concert is on next weekend and i wld love to go.. so if af hasnt arrived by then i will test.. cos if im not pg then i will defintely be drowning my sorrows with a few alcoholic beverages! I think i might test wed tho.. surely af shldnt come any later then day 35 if its going to come..
Im so sorry ladies for this craziness.. but i think i am going CRAZY!!! xxx
well hello lovely women, lots to catch up on after a few days away, makes me smile though to see you all in here, giving each other lots of love and support x
MatthewsMum - sending you a hug for Matthew's anniversary and hoping that your FET will bring you much longed for joy. Glad your flu is finally lifting - you've had a hard time of things of late, time for some sunshine for you x
Kit - so sorry to read that you have lost Tiger's twin...but also glad that Tiger is doing so well and that's lovely news of a good strong heartbeat - big hugs to you, thanks for asking after me x
T-hopes - you poor thing, I did that prep and it's bloody awful - you will have discovered that for yourself by the time you read this so I'm sort of glad you won't read it before hand. Eeek. Anyway, I just wanted to wish you all the best for tomorrow and hope the lap goes smoothly and you are back on your feet soon. I'm sorry it is nearly a year since you conceived your little one - I hope you'll be getting your BFP very soon x
Dory - congratulations on 23 weeks! Each milestone that passes is a testament to your strength and courage and love. Lots of love to you and glad your kitty is home and on the mend and getting lots of love. I've just had 24hrs in Melbourne for my niece's 1st birthday and stayed with my brother who has two cats - one is a Main Coon (spelling? She looks like a snow cat - soo beautiful) and the other is a little moggy with one eye who I adore. They both decided to do speed laps around my bed this morning so I'm starting to feel a bit deliriously tired! I got a few cuddles too so happy with my little trip away.
MurryCod - can't wait to hear about your test tomorrow and so thrilled that line is getting darker clever girl!! I know you will feel like moving on at some point - it'll be lovely to be around others going through the same thing and sharing all that excitement and I can't speak for the others but I want all of you lovely BFPers to stay for as long as you like so we can keep sharing the excitement of your pg but also to just be here for you on the days when it all feels a bit scary. Same goes for you Kit x Oh and about your friend, I was thinking that maybe when you tell her, you could say that while you know she'll be excited for you because you really care about each other you also know she'll feel sad so if she needs to express that and you are OK with it and she feels safe with you, she can. Maybe hinting in advance helps too, like someone else said - even by text 'cause that'll give her time and space to prepare for the news. I'm so sad for her - and for you that you weren't able to share being pg together like you were so hoping for, and I hope she has a miracle soon so you can
Crafty - bring on June 17th!! I must have missed an earlier post but a few girls mentioned you're going to try giving up chocolate and caffeine - good on you!! It really makes a huge difference, especially for ovulating and it's hard to start with but gets easier. I can't recommend strongly enough having your main meal at lunch to help with sugar/coffee cravings. I know that's probably logistically difficult with a family to feed too but it has made a huge difference for me. Anyway - you won't be doing it for long 'cause you and Ferrals are our next BFPs!! x
Foreshelby - or will it be you?! Those symptoms sound so promising!! Fingers crossed xx when are you testing??
MillyD - understand the need to retreat for a bit and congratulations on your BFP - lovely news. Hope all goes well for you for a happy and healthy pg.
Reet - maybe you too? Fingers crossed. The thing with the men is, they don't have to do so much they just don't think about it like we do. After all the years and all the things DH has seen me go through, we still have those moments too! Glad you've made up and hope the sperm test comes back all good. Oh and glad your puppy is on the mend.
hubba_bubba - hello! long time since I've seen your name here hope all is well with you
Iona - so are you in the TWW now? Hope you had a good trip away and hope you caught that egg!
Damprye - so frustrating waiting for our bodies to get back to normal - hope it's not too much longer but agree with the others maybe test?
TTCaLC - lovely to have news about your busy household and good luck TTC this month - home schooling too?! You're amazing. xx
I know I've missed some of you so sorry about that - Possums, Saffy, and anyone else - love to you all.
AFM, tired from my trip so off to bed. Enjoyed my little niece's birthday but need to sleep now.
Reet- My fingers and toes are crossed for you when I was UTD last time I was absolutely petrified of testing lol
Alice- I am glad you enjoyed getting to see our nephew
AFM- I can't remember when it was I last tested lol, I think it was a couple of days after I was late but I got a :BFN: but that is normal for me whether I am or not UTD so I think I will just leave that for now and see how it goes. Earlier tonight I had a single clot and now AF seems to have completely disappeared so who knows what is going on there, ah well I will just have to wait and see if she comes back tomorrow.
damprye - hoping your body sorts itself out and either AF comes or you get that BFP
Reet - OMG, you are going to keep us in suspense until the weekend!!!
Alice - so glad that you had a lovely time at your niece's birthday
Hi to everyone else and happy monday. It was so cold this morning didn't want to get out of bed lol
AFM: FF has put me as 1DPO going off my OPK's...we did get a round in last night as well so FX that we caught this egg!! Was a lil put out last night, got an email from DF's friend's girlfriend who is pregnant and due 5 days after lil one was due....had heaps going through my head, like why wait 3 months for you to write this email etc and your not my friend, don't give me your pity!! I know it seems harsh but I didn't need and when I do see them I don't make a deal about anything I just go about my business....umph I think it was more about getting on my nerves that I feel this way - oh well
talk to you girls later - have my last day of classes for the uni sem today - time to get into study mode as well
xoxox

MurrayCod - How are you feeling my love? How are you? I am thinking of you. Waiting to hear from you?
MillyD- Congrats for the BFP. Wish you H&H pregnancy.
Crafty - New cycle = new thread = New month = its needs a BFP. C'mon Crafty- its your turn now, hope you are charging yourself for the big O-day. ALL THE BEST.
T-hope - Goodluck for procedure, Hope everything goes well and your recover soon and start ttc again. xxx
Anita - How are u? all the best for this cycle sweetheart. You are too busy, where do you store all that energy.
Mathew's Mum - thinking of you xx
Kit - how are you? hows ur Tiger, hope things are good now. take care
Alice - I'm testing on either the 5th or 12th. Depends on how I feel. It's all pretty nerve racking!
Iona - I love that you're asking about my symptoms. You're a good stalker! lol. So far pretty much the same, although yesterday I had a few new ones. I'll post them below. But first, I'm sorry about the email you received. The frustration is understandable. I would have felt the same, I think. Maybe she didn't know what to say and just wanted to say something? I don't know. People act strangely when they don't know how to deal with someone elses pain.
Reet - Test, girl test! That goes for you too, Damprye!!! lol. If you wait until the weekend we could be testing together. Do you have any symptoms? I feel like I've listed everything in the book so far. I'll look like a right goose if af arrives. LOL. Guess I'll have to put it down to post bcp weirdness. I don't know. Good luck, anyway, and I REALLY hope you get your BFP.
AFM, here are my long awaited 'symptoms' for Kit, and my new stalker, Iona. hehehe
-TMI WARNING: a little constipated this morning
-still creamy/watery cm though not a crazily large amount.
-sciatica on and off
-mild nausea when in the car again, and walking around a shopping centre
-couple of pimples, which isn't unheard of for me, but seems a bit early
-still having random boob twinges and crampy tummy
-lower back pain, still. Really strong this afternoon
-hungry for carbs. more specifically, salt and vinegar chips.
but the most interesting of all is those little white bumps around my areola. There are LOTS more today, it's almost like there's a puffy line of them right around both my areolas. Weird. I do remember having them when I was pg last time, but don't know when I noticed them. I'm not sure if they were so 'edge like' either. But yes, definitely a puffy edge thing going on. I think this might be the one that convinces me if it continues. What do you think? I know I can't will myself to have little bumps on my nipples. If I can, WOW I have super powers. Also, the only time I've noticed these bumps increasing is when I was pg.
Still not totally convinced, but feeling a little more confident as time goes on. I wonder if I don't have enough symptoms though, but last time I didn't feel strange until a few days before my period was due. Still feeling a bit of disbelief that I could be so lucky as to fall pg on the first try. It seems really unfair, actually. Honestly, I would feel really guilty for rubbing it in, so to speak, if I am indeed pg. Ok, that's enough obsessing for today. lmao.........
Hi to anyone else I missed, and good luck to everyone in their BD bonanzas and TWW's.
Lol, Iona.... that's very flattering that you were waiting for my next post. I'm still worried I'll feel like an idiot when af shows . If af shows. I forgot a couple of things earlier, too. So, to tide you over until tomorrow.....
-smells bothering me (my chicken kiev smelled dirty..... don't ask me how, just dirty), could also smell petrol which had leaked in the garage from the other end of the house. DP said he couldn't.
-feeling sick after a meal
-lightheaded even when sitting down at my desk today, feel kind of off-balance
-TIRED. (maybe just lazy?)
I'm trying so hard not to get my hopes up, but I have this feeling I'm pg that I can't shake. Just like last time. Every day that passes I feel more hopeful. Once again, could I REALLY be feeling like this so early? Can somebody please just tell me I'm not this lucky, and supply a pill of the chill variety?? lol
I wonder if I took an OPK what would show up. If I'm PG would it be +? It should be - at this stage of my cycle. Now I'm curious.
Sorry, a lot of me-ness going on lately. Will behave for the next few days, I promise.
