Mumsnet Talk

Hello everyone

I tested this morning and it is still BFN.

And still no AF.



I think i shall wait till Sunday which will put me way on my cd's. if i can wait that long

bear i am glad that your tests came back with the right results, and i hope the next lot are just as good

aquark thats the theory i'm going with!!

Thanks Cookie - I'm so relieved. Really hoping all continues to go well for me and TTC now. Soprry you haven't got your BFP yet, but hang in there. It sounds promising!

So where do u ladies graduate too once u get your bfps? Is there a 'due in...' Section as couldn't see it. Not that I need to go there yet but nice to be prepared! X

chocoloulou33 there is a grad thread that the BFPers seem to talk about, i haven't seen it personally but i am sure some one could link to it.

At work today i was talking to my work colleague (who is pregnant) who i am very close to about the BFN's and no period and she said to me maybe i should stop doing this to myself (just shagging for a baby) cause they stress is bad for me!!! I am really not sure how to take it, of course nice of her to be concerned but eh!!

Thanks for putting me straight about your tests Bear. I'm sorry that I THOUGHT I'd muddled you with someone else. <Note to self: That isn't good chat room etiquette>

I'm glad you're pleased with the results of the tests even though ERTD got you too today.

I've had such a busy day today and a combination of hormones and exhaustion have made me grumpy mummy today, so much so, that I've not had too much time to dwell on not being pg. And it's days like today that really make me wonder whether another DC is a good idea.

I'm stressing about the prospect of snow tomorrow. I'm worried that if it hits half way through the day and my big DCs are at school, I'll have trouble taking the baby out to collect them. I live in a really hilly area and I wouldn't be able to push the pushchair safely on snow. He's only just one so can't walk but is too heavy to carry.

Sorry Cookie that things are weird for you at the moment. You must be imagining you're pg one minute then convincing yourself you're not the next.

Anyway, night everyone. I am in serious need of sleep if I'm not going to be grumpy mummy again tomorrow.

P. S. The link to the grads thread is in the original post of this thread I had a sneaky peek for when it's my turn

Cookie It's really easy for someone who's pregnant to tell you you're doing yourself no good, especially if she didn't have to try! I was pretty complacent about my pg with my DCs but I didn't "try" for either of those, I am now appreciating just how lucky I was and every month throws me into a turmoil of "am I doing the right thing?!/is it a sign that I have enough already?!" I can't imagine how stressful trying for a first baby might be!

I spent today with a friend and her daughters over for a play date then helped DP put a bunk bed together ready for DSSs first overnighter with us on Sat (even though DP's ex is being a cow again and it may not even happen!) then I've applied for loads of jobs. Anything to take my mind off ERTD being due in two days and having a weird empty feeling for most of the day.

Bear That's great about the last tests. Fingers crossed for these next ones.

Sorry to all that have visits from the witch at the mo.

Oh God! DP has sneezed twice, is convinced he has a cold and is hunting for Olbas Oil. Smelly night for me.

Busy hellish week but popping into say YAYYYYY frog!!!!!

Had confirmation from dr today, so I'm guessing I wasn't wearing my bfp goggles! (Pats the cape for being well behaved) thanks red!
I'm shaking my Pom poms crazily to bring on some more bfps!!

<Pops back in>

Yay for the ov, Bear! Thought it might have been an an-ov. You must be pleased xx

<wanders off to find sick bucket>

Yes, thanks Belle. I'm really chuffed! Juts had another blood test today (hopefully my last one). Had a trainee and it was a bit painful as she didn't get it in the right place. Going to have a corker of a bruise. Hope you feel better soon, Belle.

Yay Frog - well done! Shake your pom-poms in my direction please!!!

Red - have you got snow or a cold spell at all over yonder seas?

Oh yay frog that is great news, it must feel amazing

Andie its really hard cause she is thinking of me, and then i start to agree with her saying that we'll stop after this month when really i am thinking that i'll have to stop updating her and just keep it to myself instead.

Still no period and have been strong this morning and not tested, am actually amazed at my will. I really hope i am up duffed though, even though we are so broke at the moment

Oh and i got my new car today, yay!! Mananged to get out of work early and picked it up an hour ago (happy days)

I guess her heart was in the right place Cookie We're all guilty of being accidentally insensitive sometimes I suppose.

Frog Nice to have a professional confirmation.

Has everyone been playing in the snow all day? It's quiet round here.

COOO EEEE only me!

Frog is it feeling more real now?

Cookie I'm sure your work friend is lovely but just ignore her on this one. Maybe telling her you're stopping JS, like you suggest, will help.
I'm sure you'll get your BFP soon. Loving your will power.
New car

Bear that all sounds very ouchy.

I've not been playing in the snow Andie just busy. In fact we haven't had anywhere near as much as was forecast so my baby in pushchair nightmare didn't come true. I think more is on the way tonight but I'm not worried as its the weekend YAY!

Night night.

If you mean wretching my guts up, having horrendous backache and spending 20 hours a day asleep, then yes it's totally real! I do get the odd 'what about this/that' thought that scares the hell outa me as its my first, so I'm not sure the impending responsibilty has quite sunk in yet!

Oh no frog not sickness, not good not good, hope it passes soon and you can get onto the other perks of pregnancy

God i really am terrible at this waiting i caved this morning and POAS, still negative. They are tesco ones, i was on another thread and some said tescos are rubbish, but now maybe i am just clutching at straws.

cookie, how many dpo are you? It's not over yet!
Pregnancy perk number one yesterday: when the traffic builds up due to snow and you live quite far from work, the boss lets you go home to avoid needing a wee on the journey home!! Still took me two hours to get home (its only 10 miles!) but I appreciated it!

I don't know frog, i was trying to not get obsessive about it so haven't been checking when i ovulate!! To me it is one of life's little mysteries.

Frog Responsibility realisation doesn't kick in until they wave you off with that new baby and you realise nobody have you a manual.lol. And that's true however many you have!

Cookie How late is ERTD? If you're concerned and still getting BFNs then call your GP.

I am officially one day late. Getting no signs but lots of CM and my sciatica's playing up so I still feel ick regardless.

My normal cycle is 25, which makes me 8 days late, my last cycle was 27 so that puts me at 5 days late. I have no period pain or any sign of a period coming.

I will call my Gp if my period doesn't arrive after the snow thaws cause i really really really don't want to drive my new car in the snow. I can walk a short 10 minute walk to my local supermarket and there is a pharmacy next door to it so i could pick up a different kind of test if needed. But my surgery is a 20 minute drive away.

Any other symptoms cookie? It sounds suspicious to me! And some don't get bfps till way after af due.

Well i have had on and off sore boobs, which i have never had before sensitive to touch not aching all the time although my boobs are teeeny anyway i couldn't eat the smoke salmon, or my favourite pizza it really turned my stomach. I have a more sensitive gag reflex with smells and i am usually really good with that, as i work in a baby room so lots of horrible smells there.

I've read of people not getting BFPs until around 12 weeks. Everyone excretes different levels of hormones. That's why blood tests are the most reliable. I was already 8 weeks with my DD before I got a BFP (figured breastfeeding DS had affected ERTD....was wrong.lol)

My friend became a first time dad last night and another friend's fiancé is overdue with their 4th. Another friend has just announced her first pg. it's like baby central on my FB while I pretend not to be massively broody!!

Andie....who wants to share their limelight anyway?!! You'll have it all to yourself soon enough!

Cookie I'm hopeful for you...I found getting some horrible spots were a symptom for me looking back over the past two weeks.
