thanks Jude. I'm in desperate need of PMA. I've woken with a definite pre-AF 'heavy' feeling, very familiar I'm afraid. My boobs are still tender, I'm bloated and warm. It doesn't feel too positive right now. A huge switch from last night when we were both elated at my veiny boobs (oh how life changes).
Nothing to do but sit it out. Off to the accountants in an hour, that should distract me for a bit.
I know its difficult but try & remember all that fantastic advice & support you've given us over the last few months...stay positive and don't analyse the twinges as they don't necessarily mean a thing!
I felt just like you about 5 days before my test date - all positive signs seemed to disappear and PMA dropped through the floor and we still had a positive result.

aw shucks....thanks everyone. Alette, lovely words thank you.
Am feeling a bit brighter this morning. I woke at 0500 and was ready to go. Poor DF, I waited until quarter past but then announced I was off into the day. I'm not a slug normally but I don't usually do this either! I've already spent 2 hours working (proof reading, so quite gentle), watching Fimbles and scraping Weetabix off the table.....JOY!!
Gorgeous sunny day, we've still too much snow to do much in the garden but I'll make a start. So as you can all see, I'm feeling happier and more optimistic. My AF feelings have faded a little, I've got a residual 'heavy' abdomen feeling but who knows?
she is here trying to get to # 1

Randa - where are you in your tmt? I seem to have missed your updates.
BigJ - thanks for all your kind words. Sorry to be so dim but what does picoD mean?
Today has whizzed by. Even so, each time I went to the loo I said 'there might be blood' and that seemed to help I am SUCH a pessimistic person. Poor DF. I did do some energetic work around the garden later as I'm so frustrated at having to pussy-foot around. The heaviness/pre-AF feeling is constant, I'm learning to live with it.
We've done really well on this board recently, I don't want to let you all down.
Took a peek, couldn't help it! not 40 (yet) but couldn't just go away without giving Debra a huge portuguese hug! Didn't read all the thread, when are you due to test?
keeping all my bodily parts crossed for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
