New bus boarding for April 2012

Thanks Bartlet, it feels a bit of a 'hello' and 'goodbye'... I hope it all works out for you and you will be catching the bus behind me (assuming this one does stick).

May is a great time for a baby though, so fingers crossed you get lucky!

Aww, I'm sorry bartlet - at least you know now, and get SWI for next month! :)

Welcome and congratulations, Fanny. Hope this is a sticky one.

Just after writing my last post, AF arrived so I'll be getting off the bus. Looks like I got my wish of AF arriving rather than the not knowing.

Hope to not see many of you on the May bus. Good luck for everyone else waiting.

Hi I wondered if I could board the April bus?

Had a BFP yesterday but not sure yet if it is a keeper.

I have a scan booked tomorrow at local EPU as I'm having bad pains down my left hand side (amongst other symptoms) so worried about ectopic. To add to that they think my gall bladder is on the cock :(

Fingers crossed for tomorrow...

Meconium, sorry about the BFN. It is discouraging, isn't it. I'd rather AF came and we could then get back on with things rather than being late and getting BFNs.

Michaela, great news! Congratulations!

Sn0w, glad DH is more on board! Hope that is timed nicely with a BFP in a day or two.

Here, did another test this am as AF is now definitely rather late - BFN. A few hours later, a very excited DH came down and pointed out a very faint line. I've tried to explain it might be an evaporation line, but if AF is still not here tomorrow, we'll POAS again...

Congratulations Michaela!!!

I caved, got a BFN ? though technically I'm not due til tomorrow/Friday, it's not looking good for an April baby!

On the bright side, something has finally clicked with DH who has finally found his babymaking mojo (previously he was batting around comments like "if we're really serious about having a baby", despite SWI for the past 5 months )

sorry to hear you got a BFN Meconium, I had the same thing the month before I conceived DS so maybe next month it can be your lucky one.

well, I am a day overdue for AF and have been using dodgy internet tests for a few days which were showing just the smallest hint of a second line if you really squinted at it. So, today I bought a pair of first response tests, did one this evening and.... BFP!!! Oh my word! :)

good luck everyone else!

af is late! normally ov around cd20, have spotting on cd 28,29 then af cd30/31. Am cd 32 today and nothing, except maybe a tiny pinkness on wiping yesterday once. BUT preg test negative today. pfft. Have had this once before, no af but neg test and af rocked up on cd 38 finally. frustrating :(

Crossing my fingers, toes & eyes for you bartlett!

It's not over until the fat (red?) lady sings so will hope for good results for the rest of us still here.

laura, sorry that the test was negative again. Try to see this next step (of being referred) as a positive thing you can do in the quest. Hopefully they can find a cause and do something about it. You'd mentioned elsewhere that your prolactin was up? If so, she needs to refer you to an endocrinologist. This sort of stuff is our bread and butter.

Still nothing here except the BFNs from last night and this morning. I have noticed though that I have lots of CM. Not normally like this when AF due. Please, please, please let this be a sign. Obviously, I am staying very calm about this.

Trying really hard not to run downstairs and pee on a stick just to put my mind at rest either way - but it would be a criminal waste of £7, considering it's lunchtime and 2 days til AF due!! Hold me back ladies, tie me down!!

lauraloo I really hope they work out what's up soon, that's really pants At least you've been referred, which is a step in the right direction.

congrats truffle what good news!

good luck sno and bartlet, hope the tests give the right answer (we all know what that is!)

lauraloo oh no! but it sounds like a dodgy excuse from the gp.... maybe there is hope after all? at least you're getting further tests which should either show you are pg after all, or explain why no AF. let us know what happens!

oh congrats truffle what a way to start such a crappy tuesday morning so happy for you!

sno never say never until AF shows up :)

bartlet you tested yet??

Well went to the doctors yesterday to be told that it was possible that the tests I had taken over the weekend were from a faulty batch and the test she done was negative so i was absolutely gutted last night. The GP is referring me to gyne department to try and find out why AF hasnt been since march so in a way i am happy that something is going to get done. I was away for more blood tests this morning just to double make sure i am not pregnant results due back on friday. I feel awful this morning cramping sick and just really ill so im putting this down to flu and possible AF coming (hopefully) never thought i'd be happy to see AF just need to know what is going on! I will keep you up to date with whats happening and i so wish i was joining the BFPers on the ante-natel threads but alas its not for me this month :( xx

lauraloo thanks -- been crampy for 2 days now and have a dodgy tummy (sorry, tmi!) which is a pre-AF symptom for me, so I'm trying really hard not to get my hopes up!!

truffle CONGARATS! You must be over the moon, what a nice start to the morning =_=

Wonderful news, Truffle. You must both be grinning like that!

Hope to be able to join you on an April antenatal thread soon...

BFP this morning - delighted. Hope it will work out the same for you Bartlet

Truffle, sorry about the BFN. I am in a similar position here. Was just beginning to let myself think I might actually be pregnant, so did a test last night and this morning - no AF but BFNs.

Hi, Bartlet, sorry for the delay, did a test yesterday, came back negative, still no AF though.??? Have resisted doing another one today. How about you?

Congratulations, gimme! That's wonderful news! (Hopes some of that will rub off on the rest of us.

I've tried to update the list with everyone we know about. Hopefully everyone else is celebrating their BFPs so just haven't had time to update us here...

oh gimme thats wonderful news congrats on your BFP!!

sno im crossing everything for you this month surely this is your month!

Well i went and took another cheap ebay test just there so its not fmu and i swear i can see a line, when i shine a light directly onto test i see nothing but in natural daylight i swear i can see a line my goodness this is driving me insane!!!

AF's not due til Thursday, but I'm not really feeling that positive this month, despite doing the BD over the right time. Probably because I've been sooo excited & hopeful every month up to now, just have my hopes mercilessly dashed - this week seems more like a crawl towards inevitability than a hold-your-breath-and-cross-your-toes tbh :(

bartlet let me know how testing goes everything crossed for you!

Oh dear, laura, that's not great. False negatives are far more likely than false positives with these tests, so I hope you get a positive answer soon.

Truffle, are you still managing to resist the tests?

No AF here yet. Trying desperately not to get my hopes up, but we've agreed if not AF by tonight, we'll get a test for tomorrow morning.
