Myaccount, hugs... I hope all will be well. I know you said, you don't want to tell NHS, but would it be better to go to hospital if you are in pain?...
Please, let us know hoe you are keeping on, we are all here to support you (well, I would come around and make you a cup of tea if you were anywhere near me!)

Myaccount - Hoping you and your DH are both ok. Me and my DH are thinking of you today.

Myaccount, hope things are looking up.

Also, I know it seems that your OH is behaving badly, but maybe a big part of it is that that the men go through lots of the emotional stuff too, and he's probably not coping too well himself.

here's hoping for good news for you both.

Men just aren't any good at dealing with emotions. I am generalising I know but they have different coping mechanisms, I'm sure they don't mean to do it most of the time.

Just dropped in to catch up on everyone's news. Hugs to myaccount - I hope today is proving to be more positive than yesterday? Shelly's right - use us to rant as much as you like!

I'm not one for symptom spotting generally, or testing early, but this month something seems to really have got under my skin. I can't stop tweaking my nipples (not in public though!) to see if they're still sore and tender, and I've been feeling 'fat' ever since I ov'd at new year. My lower back aches and I've had af-type cramping for about 12 days now. I'm trying so hard to brush it off as 'that's what usually happens' but it's really beginning to annoy me now. I'm not going to give in and test until next weekend, IF af doesn't arrive when I'm expecting it, which it probably will. Right... I must not symptom spot... I must not symptom spot... I must not............

Wish i could open a big box of choccies to share with you all! Things are still bad w/DH but the cramping and pain isn't quite as intense now so i'm trying to stay calm. I'll update with the blood results on tuesday.. i'm debating over calling the GP and begging for a free test, but i know they normally only do pee tests so i don't know if i should bother drawing attention to myself so early on, esp with things not going well? My MSE head just doesn't feel comfortable spending another £40!

Nikki i didn't symptom spot much either (or at least told myself that lol), but this last month my lower back pain was alot worse than normal, i was overwhelmingly exhausted, and even told DH i "felt pg" at about 8dpo, although that feeling left the next day (perhaps implantation?!). I keep "testing" my nipples to check they're still sore, gosh how bizare we can be lol. I don't normally bother to test, but this past one i tested at only 10dpo. I've got 2 sensitive tests left if you want me to post them? Maybe they're lucky

Aww thanks myaccount, that's really sweet of you, but I'm gonna hold off for now. I've got one test left, that I bought 2 years ago when we first started ttc, and it expires this month. I'm trying to keep the faith that it WON'T be wasted!! Who knows, eh...

Glad to hear that you're feeling a little better. I'm sure your DH is probably just not really knowing how to deal with things... I hope so, it's tough if you feel alone at the mo. You're not though, remember that. We may not be 'real' people, but we ARE real underneath this cyber exterior...

I hope your last test will behave nikki

I phoned the GP and a family planning clinic to try and get a blood test for free. They both told me 2+ weeks before they could fit me in :mad: They just don't care, and it's obvious i'm in panic and it's something time specific Looks like that'll bring me to a total of £150 just for blood tests! I feel so neurotic but i can't stop stressing over these weird numbers

Try and stay calm myaccount08 - really frustrating but you know how things are, they deal in numbers not real people. I know its a lot of money, but you are trying to buy peace of mind and thats priceless. Will be thinking of you tomorrow - hope the results are what you want. Remember that most people dont know these levels at all, so you dont know that they will lead to a problem - maybe others have these levels and go on to a healthy pregnancy and just dont know it!

All the best Lilo
