  • Morning ladies... my daily ramblings!!!
    Congrats Nicole!!! :D

    Okay I am 9DPO today. For the last 3 days I have had:
    • cramps in very lower abdomen
    • Feeling extrememly cold
    • nipples got a little darker (OH noticed that one!)
    • Sudden tiredness - last night I was asleep before OH came back from brushing his teeth!
    • Been waking up in the morning about an hour before my alarm usually goes off.
    • hungry but not really wanting anything to eat
    • lots of creamy CM
    I didn't temp over weekend, but yesterday showed a dip (whilst with cramps etc)and this morning my temp shot up again. I hoping this is a good sign, but I don't know enough yet to speculate.
    cramps got intense last night - so much so, I though AF was on her way early... this morning I can only very slightly feel any discomfort... strange!
    Hope you are well x x x

    • Feeling extrememly cold
    I think we're all feeling that.:D
  • hahahahah!!!

    I mean that I'm usually a very hot person... never really feel the cold, but I've been cold to the bones for about 3 days now.. tried hot drinks, hot baths and showers... It's just really odd for me! :D

    Well fingers crossed LP that its a little life inside you that is sapping all your heat and sending your thermostat all wonky;) .

    I am now on CD 28, AF due tomorrow but no actual sign where I usually have some "pre-blood/gunk" in the 2 or 3 days prior if that makes sense (and sorry TMI). Thing is I have all the other symptoms that go with her arrival, I feel so periody its untrue...

    My best friend told me yesterday that her 1st pg symptom was "feeling like I was going to have a heavy period. Then I didnt. for 9 months!"

    Of course none of this helps me, my mind is all over the place - I did a test this morning - a BFN - but I absolutely wont believe I am not pregnant until AF is in full flow. This TTC business is bad for my mental health I swear!:o

    I have two children and have to agree....before i found out i was pregnant and even after i spent half my time at the loo convinced that af had started. Thats exactly how i felt.....have to say i had other symptoms too...mainly my boobs on both occasions.

    Well im on day 28 too and had a bfn this morning....i feel as if af is just round the corner. I have to say im convinced that we did everything right too and last week was convinced it had worked....then all symptoms disappeared...

    Strange tho cause as the symptoms have disappeared my mood has settled too. Last week i would have been devastated to see af, now im more or less resigned to it x

    BFN on the second CBD last night. I got all teary and did it despite saying I wouldn't - combination of being mad with myself for getting it wrong (damn expensive things - not very MSE, was it?!), plus work stress and the stress of just waiting for AF and being able to crack on again if it stays a BFN and AF makes an appearance.

    BFN also on a cheapie this morning. Dunno why I bothered.. as I said the other day, I only got feint results on three cheapies on the morning AF was due last time and I more-than-likely tested the day (or two!) before too but don't remember seeing any lines then. I bought two more CBD in Tesco at lunchtime. Have shoved them in the bathroom cupboard now.. trying not to think about it, but don't feel like testing right now anyway.

    I've always had quite an easy time with AF so no mega PMT symptoms to report - everything I felt earlier in the week (rumbling cramps; shooting pains in my boobs; sudden hunger; waking early and having loads of energy) were all things I felt when first preg last time.

    I'm sorry if i sound obsessive about all this. This is the first AF (or hopefully not!) to follow the month we were allowed to start trying again after my m/c. In all honesty, I have no idea when I ov'ed and hence if we did it at the right time (not that we actually did it that much anyway - too tired!), so I wouldn't be in the slightest surprised if it's a BFN.. just disappointed. Must try harder next month!

    Don't you worry about obsessing elle, you're in good company here chick. We are all obsessing with you so don't feel you have to apologise here. We all understand totally. I am sorry you are feeling fed up (((hugs))). I must admit I am the same as you with AF symptoms, I don't get many either. Well I only really get belly and back ache but only once she is here, maybe a little belly ache before but not much. My boobs used to get bigger but maybe if I am not oving at the moment that may be why they are not changing at all.

    LP - your symptoms sound promising, when is AF due? I have my fingers tightly crossed for you. And it is nearly November so we are due our next influx of BFPs!!!:D

    Hope everyone is ok and hugs to you all (cos I know we all need them even when we are being brave;) )
