<25 BFPs!! 12 births!! Welcome to the world turtle babies!>

[HollyMonkey]

Evening all! (afternoon?-I really must look up the time difference between the US and France one of these days)

I've scanned the thread for news of Crunchie, couldn't see her but maybe I missed it- you have been nattering ladies! And the UK is an hour behind so she may not have got to the evening BnB moment yet. Anyway I'm allowing Crunchie back in on the grounds that Kit_cat, our real mascot, didn't have any/many symptoms, and that our resident mathematics genius Mollykins will always be able to create the BFP equation even using negative symptom data.

I have a possible symptom- last night I started getting a little pinching in my side, and it's continued all day long, still doing it. Pinch pinch pinch.I'd like to imagine it's a little burrowing egg but I think my imagination is running away with me- I can see its little face and its tiny little egg hands tidying up a microscopic patch of my uterus to make a cosy nest. I don't remember this in my last pregnancy. Anyone think it could be a symptom of pregnancy rather than a cyst or a throwback from O? I'm 5-ish dpo

Ack, I'm so busy at work I can't keep up with you ladies!

I am the most bloated. person. EVER. right now. It started last night. I feel like my abdomen is going to explode. I'm also retaining water like crazy -- could barely get my rings on this morning -- and I have no good explanation for it, I can't even blame sodium this time because I haven't consumed an abnormal amount.

Speaking of testing (well, I wasn't, but the rest of you were), I was going to *try* to hold off until is due on November 3rd but my best friend called last night and said she would be visiting me on Halloween (from 500 miles away. that's about 800km for our non-US based posters/readers ). So, I'm pretty sure I'm going to test on Halloween because who knows what kind of shenanigans she's going to want to get into. I'd rather not have to explain to her that we're TTC and I could *possibly,* theoretically speaking, be pregnant and blah blah blah. Of course I'll have to if it comes down to me still not knowing because she knows me well and she'll automatically know exactly what's up as soon as I refuse beer. I'll only be 9dpo or so so it's unlikely I'd get a + even if I am but I have some ic hpt so no harm, right?

Good morning ladies!

Today has dawned a bit uneventful in the land of symptoms. BUT I did have a VERY vivid, very disturbing dream last night. On that note, I slept for a full 8 hours (doesn't happen often) and I am still exhausted. Good news?? Oh and for about an hour before bed last night, I was horribly bloated. Ugh.

Good isn't it, sleeping 8 hours! I had really disturbing dream too- far too complicated to explain involving my mum having travel sickness and a French woman shouting at us. I was hoping for a fluffy kittens dream.

Well sweets, here on the far west coast of the states, it is currently 1035a. We are quite a ways out from you. My Aunt in Germany tells me to think this way, "While you are drinking your coffee love, I will be drinking my wine."
I do agree, Crunchie stays.
I have been getting the odd twinge here and there this morning as well... I definitely count that as a symptom Miss!

I feel like you, if I'm not pregnant I have to go to the docs anyway see what this pinching business is!!!

Test early definately. That way you might find out important news and in any case no-one will give you a medal for holding out. But really I advise you to test because in my last pregnancy I tested 8 dpo since it was DH's Bday and we were going to drink lots of champagne, and yes, you guessed it, I did a double take on that double line before my eyes!!!! Fab B'day present little IC wee stick made though. So if I were you I'd test for peace of mind...ESPECIALLY with all that very promising bloating going on.... And if it's negative then enjoy yourself with moderation and test a few days later....

I too became crazy bloated last night... like change into a night dress bloated and glad OH wasn't home to see kind of bloated. Add a bit of twinging here and there today and exhaustion, etc... I'm so tired. I just made my third cup of tea... hope this is the one that perks me up!

I hope you get your on Halloween LittleSpy... make sure you let us know if you've joined Kit's ranks!

That is just the best thing, your aunt's wine and coffee saying!! I love it! I will have to create a similar one for my family and friends in the UK, who are only an hour behind me, something like- "while you are eating your starter, I am eating my dessert" or "while you are washing your hair, I am applying a finishing spray to mine"

Gosh it's symptoms galore for us then! A pinch here, a twinge there. Sleeping at night. Dreaming. Whatever next??

 

[Essie]

Sounds good Crunchie! That's you and Molly both having twinges so it's got to be a positive symptom

Good luck catching up! I've been developing my speedreading skills coz they don't arf natter on this thread!

Hi ladies! Just catching up on the latest posts - Mollykins, so glad DH will be home sooner than later to give u a much needed break and a little TLC too... u have certainly earned it, and besides, we need u in optimal symptom spotting condition! Anyone else planning on testing on halloween besides littlespy and possibly mollykins? i need to see if i should plan my day around the computer! Keeping FX'ed tighly for all ...u know... so kit_cat won't be lonely

In other news, it just made an appointment with my gyno for Wednesday. I've been having some (TMI alert) weird yellowish green discharge and i need to get that checked out. It started at the end of last cycle and my PMA let me think it was a possible pregnancy symptom... until the showed up. It went away during AF, of course, but now it's starting to rear its ugly head again, so i need to look into this, esp if it's an infection! Don't want it ruining my chances to join the kit_cat club

Keep the symptom spotting coming girls! i'm loving all of this, especially when it's backed up by the math!

 

[Essie]

Anyone else planning on testing on halloween besides littlespy and possibly mollykins?

Maybe, I'm still internally debating whether to test early or not

 

[Crunchie]

it takes about 30 mins to catch up on the thread lol !!!!!

I still havent decided when to test but I think it may be the same as mollykins and go for halloween ....lol !

 

[newbie_ttc]

*gently nudging Essie and Crunchie to test on halloween* There's safety numbers (although i'm not sure how that was supposed to be persuasive! lol)

 

[kit_cat]

Yay to everyone testing on Halloween!!!

I am desperate to hear of your BFPs!!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeease? For wittle mee?

(How's that for pressure and a firm shunt towards your POASA's) I'm terrible aren't I?

 

[Crunchie]

Im in !!!! I have some IC just waiting to be weed on ! lol

 

[Essie]

Maybe lol, I don't actually have any tests (otherwise I know I'd be a total POAS addict!) Think I'll see what tomorrow brings symptomwise and then decide.

 

[Mollykins]

Well ladies, I am going to go ahead and test on Halloween. I'm firm on that. It may be a bit on the early side but the pull to test on Halloween is just too much! My POAS-addiction sees it as too good a reason/excuse! Plus Kit is very persuasive! We mustn't leave her all alone on the team.
Essie- I also have zero tests in the house so I'll have to run to the store on Saturday to get one... or two.

I'll only be 8 dpo and haven't got any 10iu tests but don't mind testing anyway on an 25iu IC, just to join the Halloween party fun!!!

 

[Crunchie]

yahhhh a haloween testing party
