Yay Arabella congrats on your BFP!

xstitch · 20/01/2011 08:16

Congrats Arabella. :( auntie, it would still be October so you are still on the bus.

DP was back last night but OPK positive on Monday so chances very slim for this month. Its DP who is keen to test, was sitting with the calender working out when I could. I can see where your DH is coming from arabella, I was scared to get too excited when I had dd.

BlueCrane · 20/01/2011 08:09

Welll....I'm still on the bus for now...bfn this morning Sad but no sign of AF yet so there's still a chance!!

Congrats arabella and all the best!!

Iwish · 20/01/2011 07:58

Hi iggly I'm good thanks, hoping this is our month, if it is our month the due date would be between mine and DP's birthday. :)
Awww I bet he's a little cutie, they always are at that age. Hope this month is your month too x

Congrats arabella!!! that's fab, I bet you are made up Grin hope you have a lovely trouble free pregnancy x

arabella36 · 20/01/2011 07:51

Thanks Iggly,and good luck to you.
DH says I'm not allowed to think of myself as pregnant yet (I'm still 2 days before AF due). He can't be pleased yet as he knows how often things go wrong so early on, so I'll have to be cautiously excited by myself for now!!

I used a Fr and a clear blue plus sign test this am.

Iggly · 20/01/2011 07:28

CONGRATULATIONS! fab news arabella :)

Fingers crossed it all goes well x

arabella36 · 20/01/2011 07:01

BFP!! Yippee!!

Thanks for all the support and fun girls - hopefully lots of you will be joining me on the October baby bus over in the pregnancy threadsSmile

I have positives which are faint but unmistakeable so as it's so early there's a chance of chemical pregnancy but Ive decided to celebrate while I can!

sevendwarves · 19/01/2011 23:45

Oddbodd I don't know how you cope without testing, I'd have gone mad by now!

OddBodd · 19/01/2011 22:30

Congratulations ttc graduates! Well done ;-)

Hope everything in your pgs go perfectly. Still no AF here day 46.

sevendwarves · 19/01/2011 21:22

Arabella sounds like big congrats will be in order tomorrow for you and soundof, how exciting!

Sorry AuntieD, glad you can stay on this comfy bus though!

arabella36 · 19/01/2011 19:29

Sorry auntiedoris:(. It's good if you can stay on this bus though - almost like having two chances at it if you know what I mean?Smile for today though I recommend wine, cheese and good TV.

Iggly, I too was awake last night with my only DC, it's so exhausting!!! And so much worse with a newborn - best not to think about that too much or we could end up jumping off this moving busGrin

Iwish - thanks, I'll definitely test again in am and will post the result. Still have PM type symptoms thoughConfused

Iggly · 19/01/2011 19:25

Hi Iwish I'm ok just tired! How are you? DS is 15 months :) turning into a cute but cheeky toddler.

Iwish · 19/01/2011 18:55

Hi iggly cross post. Hope you are ok today?
How old is your DS?

Iwish · 19/01/2011 18:53

Hi arabella a line is a line!! Try doing one with FMU tomorrow and let us know the results :)

Oh no sorry auntied that's sh*t!! Have you had a good cry and some chocolate and wine? I think you can just about sit on this bus now, it'll be the last few days of October though.

Iggly · 19/01/2011 18:51

Ooooooooooooooo arabella sounds promising to me! Test tomo first thing?

I'm feeling moody today so maybe pms. Or the lack of sleep as DS woke at 11pm, 3am, 5am then 6. Why do I want another one?? Grin

AuntieDoris · 19/01/2011 18:44

Well as expected, and very disappointingly, AF arrived today. Pissed off and gutted. Nothing else to say.

Not sure if that puts me off this bus though. Anyone know?

arabella36 · 19/01/2011 18:41

Good luck for your next test soundof Smile!!

since posting earlier I found that my fr test from this am had an extremely faint second line but hours after the timeframe so doesn't count.
So I did a clear blue test which has the plus sign for positive. It came up with the vertical part of the cross incredibly thinner than the horizontal part, and fainter, but within the timeframe. So DH thinks it's inconclusive as it's so faint. What do you think?Confused

Iwish · 19/01/2011 18:08

oooh soundof how exciting!! i hope its a BFP. make sure you do another test first wee tomorrow when its concentrated ans you'll have a better chance of the line showing its face :)

soundofherwings · 19/01/2011 17:20

I don't know how everyone holds out on testing for so long- I've been testing every day from dpo8 with my lovely internet cheapies. Tried to hold out until dpo 10 but failed! Forgot this morning but just POAS now, put it down while waiting for result remembered it 10 mins later and there is a really faint line, like so faint if i look at it for long enough I convince myself it's not there! Arrrrrrgh, will not pee for the next 5 hours and do another one later!

I've felt awful all through the 2ww so far- I hope I am pregnant and this isn't yet another evil trick from coming off the pill.

arabella36 · 19/01/2011 15:21

Iggly, I suppose you could be on a longer cycle this month? Which would explain the lack of PM symptoms or alternatively not feeling pregnant yet?

arabella36 · 19/01/2011 15:17

Thanks Foghorn and IgglySmile
Xstitch I hope you don't have to join the next busSmile

Iggly · 19/01/2011 12:19

Fingers crossed for you arabella. AF is due at the weekend for me if my cycle has gone back to normal post mc. However I feel nothing! I don't think I'm pregnant and don't feel PMS. I'm worried my body has gone mad. Oh well. It's early days in the ttc journey but feeling twitchy and broody.

Karbea · 19/01/2011 10:15

Morning!

OH is away at the w/e which is when i think i will ov.. so that's annoying!

i've started http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/332dc0 charting which is interesting, although my chart is pretty dull at the mo!

Hoping it will make me less stressy for the 2ww's...

xx

I am working on the assumption I will be on the November bus too.
