Hiya,

I put August as its a little late for July!

I'm TTC number 4(!)

Due to test on the 15th August but don't think we have much chance this month as its only our first and DH has been ill for a few days and now I've got the bug, so not much romance happening!

So just wonderded if anyone is just starting TTC and wanted to join me?

Hi madkatz. Me and you will sprawl out in the thread then lol. Xmas Smile.

I think I would be the same Liz. I wasn't going to tell anyone we were ttc but I have told a few people lol. And you are right, whatever will be will be.

You better all stay here and listen to me and madkatz symptom spotting and celebrating bfps x

lizandlulu · 10/12/2010 12:06

yes iwish i cant keep my mouth shutXmas Grin i have told quite alot of people if it has come up in conversation, not just blurted it out!

i am not a supersticious person and think that if something is going to happen, it will happen, weather 1 person knows or 100.

MadKatz · 10/12/2010 11:51

Congratulations KLou so happy for you.

You won't be here on your own Iwish...I'll be here too.

Iwish · 10/12/2010 11:24

Iwish · 10/12/2010 08:28

I bet as soon as you get used to them you'll have new symptoms haha. Xmas Smile

KLou111 · 10/12/2010 08:13

Morning all, I just got a BIG FAT POSITIVE BABY!!!!!!!
So excited, was shaking like a goodun. Still am as I write this. Ran downstairs to DH and we did another one, same, clear positive on a internet cheapy!!!!
Can't believe it!!! Due 16th August if everything goes OK. Pink and brown on Sunday/Monday I assume was implantation. Can't stop smiling!!! Grin

lizandlulu · 09/12/2010 21:41

i know i am not compalining, far from it, its just taking abit of getting used to!

Iwish · 09/12/2010 21:34

Oooh I'm glad you are getting all the lovely pg symptoms Liz, even if some of them make you feel awful. I tell my DP I'll take any symptoms as long as I can be pg lol Xmas Smile
Just wait - a few more weeks and you will be scoffing everything Xmas Smile

Just watched corrie and I was crying!!

Iwish · 09/12/2010 21:28

My guess is that you ov'd later. How long after implantation does a pg test usually pick up hcg?

I can't wait to get SWI, I'm so impatient and want to be pg now!!

lizandlulu · 09/12/2010 21:21

klou make sure you tell us asap! i cant settle down to work properly unless i knowXmas Grin

iwish i feel ok, abit more tired and usual and feel icky around tea time, but nowt too bad. i am feeling very fat though, fatter than usual!

but i am finding for the forst tiem in my life that i dont fancy eating anything in the evenings. i am sat here, not had any tea and the only thing i could really eat is dairylea with cripsbreads

KLou111 · 09/12/2010 18:55

According to FF I was due to OV 15th November, but if pink and brown on Sunday/Monday is implantation, would have OV'd a week later. Didn't do any OPK's so not 100% if and when I did OV.
At the moment, I've just been going with the flow! But if BFN, I have my pee sticks ready!!

Iwish · 09/12/2010 18:39

Youre not a cow, just the flipping hormones lol, they make us so evil sometimes. I just cry all the time! Should have seen me watching corrie! Xmas Smile
Sorry if I've asked before but do you know when you ov'd or have you just been going with the flow? Your LP is usually the same every month so you might have in theory have tested too early.

KLou111 · 09/12/2010 18:26

No sign of AF here Iwish going to test again tomorrow. Feeling like a right beatch today, must have shouted at DH about 4 times for no reason. All he was doing was asking my advice about the business and I told him I didn't give a shit, and stop talking to me about it. Then I shouted about a light bulb, and a couple of other times I can't even remember what about!! Sodding hormones are everywhere!!! Such a cow :(

Iwish · 09/12/2010 18:09

Hi all.

Any sign of af a bfp yet klou?

Hope you are feeling a little better today madkatz

How are you Liz? Feeling all pregnant now I hope Xmas Smile

Cd6 here and af buggered off yesterday. Started temping on cd2 and am planning on using OV sticks from about cd10 to cover all bases!

GruffaloMama · 09/12/2010 16:04

Madkatz - sorry about AF - big hugs. OV test didn't work for me (PCOS) but temping and the saliva microscope thing did. This was the one I used.

Klou will be thinking of you tomorrow.

KLou111 · 09/12/2010 14:33

Well no AF still, and have sore nips :( not sure if it's a sign or if it's just cos I am extremely cold!!

MadKatz · 09/12/2010 08:56

Thanks ladies for all your kind comments.

I would say yes liz to the ovulation tests just not sure its worth it - I've bought 3 different types of different strengths up to now and none of them work with me Confused

I didn't temp last cycle but I think I will start again this time: do everything we can to get PG for the new year

KLou111 · 08/12/2010 20:14

Surprised got any hair left lol!!

Been reading up on net, and some women not find out til they are 6 weeks + gone!! Hence a trip to the docs in 2 weeks if necessary, but don't want to get too far ahead of myself and get hopes up to just come crashing back down x

lizandlulu · 08/12/2010 19:52

madkatz i am so sorry for you, it really did sound like you might beSad

i have 30 ovulation tests you are welcome to for next month? if you want htem just private message me your address and i will send them to you.

klou bet you are tearing your hair out not knowing!

KLou111 · 08/12/2010 19:35

Typical ain't it iwish you spend all that time trying NOT to be pregnant lol!

Going to try and hold out testing til Friday. If BFN may see what my body is doing next week and if no AF still, book to go to the doctors the week before Christmas, if AF arrives, will cancel.
