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?

Faint line, not neg. Have been invited on to ante natal thread but why do I feel so worried???

Yes, buddy, how awful!!!!!!

Mind you, the girls have odd names too...

love4lady · 17/09/2010 10:06

Morning all. Did you hear what Jamie Olivers called his new son.... Buddy Bear. Poor boy. Bad initials too BO. Hmm

Wobblewatcher · 17/09/2010 06:13

Nope, another negative Sad

Good luck everyone x

GruffaloMama · 16/09/2010 21:08

Oh Wobble - how frustrating!!! Hope you get the right result tomorrow! Will be keeping everything crossed for you. Maybe the second test urine hadn't been in your bladder for long enough?

goldmaple sorry to hear that AF caught you too. Hopefully this month will be the one Smile

Wobblewatcher · 16/09/2010 16:50

Sorry, AF is crap.

Well I caved in. Tesco test was positive but then did a FR to confirm and it's negative. Holy crap I'm still no bloody clearer. Someone on other thread told me to buy a super drug one so going to do this in the morning Confused

goldmaple · 16/09/2010 15:19

Sorry to hear that AF got you lizandlulu and gruffalomama. It got me too... so roll on cycle 2!

wobblewatcher excited for you to test!! Your symptoms sound promising! Fingers crossed for you (and everyone else about to test!)

lizandlulu · 16/09/2010 15:04

afternoon all, just checking in before i pick up dd from school. well af was due today, but first thing this morning i did a pg test as i cant stand to wait any longer, and as i wiped there was blood so af has actually come dead on 30 days Sad i am proper gutted as it is my 3rd cycle now. plus it was a waste of a perfectly good test. if i had gone to the toilet first i would have known and not bothered!

Wobblewatcher · 16/09/2010 13:17

Mid morning felt like crap-same yesterday at same time. Really weak and as if I was about to faint. Thank god I haven't. Bought a preg test-will do tomorrow or sat...GOOD LUCK ANYONE ELSE IN SAME BOAT

love4lady · 16/09/2010 10:07

lol wobble!!

fingers crossed for you for next time gruffolomama x

i have sneaked onto this site at work & trying desperately to hide what i'm looking at from miss nosey who sits next to me!! best be off will check later to see if anyone has news, good luck all x

GruffaloMama · 15/09/2010 20:58

Hi All!
Wobblewatcher - that all sounds good. Will be keeping my fingers crossed for you on Fri/Sat. Know what you mean about the disappointment with early tests.

My AF arrived bang on time on Saturday Sad but also Smile as it actually means I've got a regular cycle for once in my life. I've also started charting my temps and doing the Taking Charge of your Fertility thing. Much easier than I thought it would be and happier to be actively doing something. On reading it I'm utterly convinced we did conceive last month but that it didn't implant properly.

But the main bonus is I have about a 100 times better idea about when i'm actually fertile. Can't believe I got to 35 (and had PCOS and a child) before I bothered to find out. Ho hum!

Wobblewatcher · 15/09/2010 20:04

AAAARRRGGggghhhhhhhhhAAAAAArrrrrrr

ITCHY NIPPLES'!!!!!!!!!!!! Grin

Wobblewatcher · 15/09/2010 19:06

I'm going to test after Friday as one website I went on said I wasn't due till sat. Still feel very very different, ESP in my tummy/womb, and breasts.

Fingers crossed for us all...Smile

love4lady · 15/09/2010 18:13

aww sounds sweet. that could be us in nine months time!!

anyone got any news?

my stomach is still upset, dont feel deep down that i'm pg tho. but when i think its a possibility it makes me so happy! was just going to leave things to chance & see what happens but thinking about getting a test kit now, time of the month is due Sept 21st

lizandlulu · 15/09/2010 09:21

no i didnt, i saw it advertised and forgot to sky plus it {sad}

BabsH · 15/09/2010 06:43

Morning all,

Hope you are all well, did you watch Cherry has a baby last night on BBC 3? Was amazing, especially the story of the woman who had spent years and so much money getting pregnant, had a wee tear when Cherry gave birth at the end. Am sure that all this trying and waiting will be forgotten when the babies start popping up all over :o

Have a good day y'all

lizandlulu · 14/09/2010 22:04

petitech. that link is very interesting thank you

eaglewings · 14/09/2010 22:01

lizandlulu sadly I think you could be right and I'll try the cheap tests. Could be many months due to my age before I get a bfp :(

lizandlulu · 14/09/2010 21:57

hiya eaglewings, i think we do imagine most of these symptoms cause we are just so damn desperate to be pg againSad

i used to buy the more expensive tests but ended up spending an absoloute fortune (this was when trying for dd) i really resent wasting money so am trying to hold off testing and so far have only bought the cheapie packs from wilko. about £5 for 2!

Wobblewatcher · 14/09/2010 21:34

Ps I really think it's not worth doing before you are due but saying that, I may succumb...I think first response are ok but others may say different. My thinking is that if you have enough hormone to cause symptoms then surely there would be enough to show on a test but I may be wrong...probably am...

Wobblewatcher · 14/09/2010 21:31

Hi eagle wings

There are moments when I'm so so sure, like 100% sure that I'm pregnant that I'm desperate to do a test but others when the possible disappointment just does my head in. If I'm not then I'm sure there must be something wrong with me. My boobs are so sore and I have this odd feeling in my tummy which I had when I was pg with DD. It's like a watery but dull achey feeling. Strange, never had it before apart from during pregnancy.

Oh well, here's hoping.

Good luck and to others...this really is harsh...

eaglewings · 14/09/2010 21:21

wobble your post sounds so much like how I'm feeling too, that I've decided to post on here too.

TTC no 3 but it's 9 years since I last did a pregnacy test I wonder how soon is too soon to test? How are you managing to wait!

I'm feeling sick and hungry and don't want to be too far from a loo after any drink Confused

Are the more expensive tests worth the money?

how slowly each day is passing..

drives you mad spotting every little signal doesn't it... I was exhausted today and ate a cheese roll the size of my face... given that i only just ovulated, pretty darn sure I'm not pg, think it's my mind and hungry tummy playing tricks on me. Sandwich was very nice though hehe :)

Wobblewatcher · 14/09/2010 15:00

But god knows why I have it now, I ov aggggeees ago. Feel like my tummy is really empty too, like a deep hunger despite just eating.

lizandlulu · 14/09/2010 12:18

my mil said she used to get it and she could tell when she was ovulating cause of the pain.
