Woo! It's a faint line, but it's definitely there! I'm pregnant!

Oh my fucking god, I am pregnant!!!

I honestly wasn't at all sure this was ever going to happen - am so happy right now!!! DP keeps staring at me and grinning! What a bloody fantastic start to the weekend!

I guess this thread really truly is rather lucky!!

For those interested, I put my success down to forking out for 4 new bras earlier this month, none of which comfortably fit anymore already!!! Sods law ftw! Wink

Trope have everything crossed for you for the morning.

This is a lucky thread. So many successes. Gives me hope. Well done to all graduates, hope all is happy and easy for you.

Right, my stats....

Foolserrand, 28, ttc dc2. Cycle 3 af due ?????

I have pcos. Had the implant removed a year ago. Af got me, Dec, Jan, Feb and March... wait that makes cycle 4. Called the doctor today in tears as I have symptoms but bfn bfn bfn. She has sent me for the blood test tomorrow. Feeling decidedly not up duffed tonight. Fingers crossed eh?

1sttime I feel your pain. But, ds1 was a happy surprise after no af for 18 months. Hope that is some comfort to you.

trope · 05/08/2011 22:05

aw, thanks everyone! You're all far too nice! Really hope I have some good news for us all tomorrow! :)

Hey Bun nice to see you back on the thread - love the boy band analogy! (Not anomaly, as my tired brain originally wrote!!) We must catch up again soon before the summer disappears and we're plunged back into wet & windy Brighton weather!

1sttime From the page with your chart on it - look in the top right corner, there should be a button marked "sharing". Press that then select the "view" link under "Charting Home Page". The URL of this page is what you use to show other people your home page! I'm pretty sure you can do this in the free version as well as the paid... (I cracked within 2 days of my free trial of the full version expiring as I missed all the extra info at the bottom!! I'm such a sucker for stats!!)

foolserrand anyone with cake is very (very very very) welcome here! Wink

Right - turning off the computer now - see you all tomorrow! (Grins in a nervously excited way - not sure i'm going to sleep a whole lot tonight!!)

Me too :) good luck trope got everything crossed for you :)

Kayzr · 05/08/2011 21:42

Just sneakily popping on to wish Trope good luck for the morning. I'll be looking for the result!!! Everything crossed for you.

Carlitawantsababy · 05/08/2011 20:40

Yay bun! love the boy band analogy! Grin

BunMyOven · 05/08/2011 20:33

Just had to pop back to say a huge good luck to you for tomorrow Trope! So excited for you!!!

Carlita I'll have to join you on your thread - it's a fantastic idea, everyone here is so lovely it'd be a shame for us to split up like a 90's boy band once we've all got our BFP's!

Still keeping up to date with the thread and wishing you all so much luck Smile

1sttimetryer · 05/08/2011 19:49

Wow your welcome to stay here as long as you need to if you like baking , i like cakes :) although i do hope your stay is a short one (on the nicest possible way!)
Are you new to ttc?

peapop · 05/08/2011 19:47

Welcome aboard foolserrand lovely to see you on here Smile

foolserrand · 05/08/2011 19:36

Thanks 1sttime. Right, best get myself caught up.

There's lots more. I like baking :)

1sttimetryer · 05/08/2011 19:33

Hi foolserrand, Come on in :) ooo yummm yes please :) Dont be nervous, everyone is lovely in here :)

foolserrand · 05/08/2011 19:30

Hello all, I have home made chocolate cake and Thorntons ice cream and am willing to share.

1sttimetryer · 05/08/2011 17:15

Right im on my computer now so can message easier!! ive just re-read my posts and they dont make a lot of sense!
Ah i think i probably knew she had taken a break, but had forgotton yea i bet shes been lurking :) (Hi Weimy if you are)
Ive looked at your chart trope , how do i show you mine? at the moment im still on the trial period of ff, what can you use on there without paying for membership?

Im keeping my fingers tightly crossed for you trope I hope it is a BFP :)

trope · 05/08/2011 13:11

weimy is taking a break - she's been trying for a while, but wanted to step back from it for a bit - I believe she's still lurking intermittently though! (I hope so anyway!)

Can't imagine keeping up the intense SWI across a 60 day cycle - fingers crossed you're right about finally ovulating!

So.. I just had a shower (i'm not this skanky normally - I had to wait for a delivery of my medication to turn up - am alone at home and I have to sign for it, so couldn't risk taking a shower before it arrived!) and as mad as this sounds - my breasts are visibly bigger! I could tell as soon as I got undressed/looked in the mirror! They look and feel fuller - it's like having someone else's breasts!! (i'm not busty at all, so any change is quite noticeable)...

I now feel strangely calm and confident - it's really quite weird... I really hope I'm right as i'm going to be a) gutted and b) freaked out about my breasts if i'm wrong!! (and c) look like a big breast obsessed weirdo on here if i'm not pregnant!)

Anyways - i've texted a friend to see if she wants to head out in the sunshine for the afternoon - so i'm not sat around home alone going nutty waiting for tomorrow to come! So I probably won't be back on the thread till tonight/tomorrow morning... I promise I will come & update you all as soon as there is news though!! Grin

Good luck to everyone else waiting for AF - fingers crossed for another rash of BFPs! Grin

1sttimetryer · 05/08/2011 12:02

Where has weimy gone??
I will look at your chart when i get home and try and send you a link for mine, its rather crazy to be honest. The cramps started a week before the 1st, we started out swi but now its just when we fancy as 60 days has prooved way to long!!! Im wandering whether my body has tried to ov a few times and didnt succeed and then pulled all the stops out and has now succeeded and thats why i have been in so much pain. Tue was the worst, i cried!!! Lol
Im getting up early 2moro too :) shall be hooked to mn til u post, so dont keep us waiting :)

trope · 05/08/2011 11:36

carlita - lol!! Now I have to get a BFP so people aren't waking up early for nothing! You hear that body? - I want a BFP!! A BFP damnit! Wink

You know, i'm not normally a big soft sod, but this thread is just lovely - I'm so glad I've got people here I can share my obsessing with - weimy - if you're still out there lurking, you started a truly lovely thread filled with awesome people! I hope things are going well for you out in real life - TTC or otherwise!

OP posts:
Carlitawantsababy · 05/08/2011 11:20

You are good mama! Smile
Yay trope I'm so excited for you I may be getting up very early in the morning! Grin

trope · 05/08/2011 10:50

LOL! 1sttime There is a test in the cupboard ready for tomorrow, but i'm determined to wait until DP is here so we find out together! Is agonising waiting though! Might get up rather early tomorrow methinks!! Wink

I chart - daily temps, CM, random other symptoms etc! I use fertility friend too - you can see my chart here if you're interested. It often moves my ovulation day about by 2-4 days in the week following ovulation - so I mainly try and listen to my body instead now and not worry too much about which day exactly FF counts as OV day. After all, no harm in having lots and lots of SWI just to cover all the bases now is there?! Grin

(Of course it's easy for me to say that - as my cycles only range from 25-28ish days, which is rather easier to cope with than your 60 day long cycle!)

Looking back on the thread you posted that you had cramps on 1st August - so 4 days ago - could they have been ovulation pains? My first few cycles post coming off the pill I had ovulation pains the day before I ovulated. I don't really have any experience with v long cycles, but I gather it is possible to just miss a period and go onto another ovulation cycle - so perhaps that is what has happened with you?

OP posts:
1sttimetryer · 05/08/2011 10:18

Poas trope im soo desperate to find out if ur pg :)
Lol at rocking the boat!!!
On my phone at work so will write a proper message to everyone then! Does anyone record their temp? I started doing in a couple of months ago on ff, told me today that i ov'd 3 days ago, do you think thats accurate?

trope · 05/08/2011 10:03

lugsie - lol, i'm exactly the same! I rarely get sore breasts with AF so when I get even the merest hint of soreness I'm there prodding and poking trying to work out what's what!! Amazed I haven't given myself bruises in my quest for symptoms!!

That being said, I actually most definitely have sore boobs right now - don't even need to poke them to know - they ache! They never ache! I ended up taking my bra off yesterday evening as soon as I got home as it was so uncomfortable!

And stranger than that, and this is going to sound super odd I know, they are bigger than normal. I thought I was losing the plot when I noticed, but DP has had a good feel (so selfless of him Wink) and he agrees, and as he put it "he is the expert on my breasts after all"!!!

I am nauseous in the morning. My gums are sore when I brush my teeth. I have a weird achy, full sensation where I normally get cramps pre-AF. I am peeing every five bloody minutes. My temp dipped down below the coverline briefly and has come back up.

I know I say this every month (because I am an optimistic fool!!) but I actually, honestly really truly do think that I might be pregnant this month. I just have a feeling. (And in writing that I just know that i'm going to be proved wrong, but fuck it!)

We're going to test tomorrow morning, CD26, which strangely enough is when ff suggests I test as well. My cycles have been quite wobbly recently, but I reckon CD26 is about when i'm due on, so assuming no temp drop tomorrow, I reckon we're safe to POAS!

DP and I keep randomly grinning at each other, then telling ourselves off for getting our hopes up (again)... but it is very exciting! I was planning on waiting till Sunday to POAS, till I was more "late", but I will actually go completely doolally if I have to wait that long!

So fingers crossed I will shortly be joining Carlita's graduates thread!! (Because the thought of having all these "signs" and no BFP is waaaay too depressing! I mean, what else causes your breasts to randomly grow aged 32?! Nothing good, surely!)

1sttime - wow - CD60 - fingers, toes and everything crossed for you! Sounds like a hellish wait!

Kayzr - well the sun is shining here in Hove and it's looking like it's going to be a pretty nice weekend down here! You chose a good spot for a weekend away! Hope you have a lovely time! :)

wouldbe good luck! When you say a boat, do you mean canal barge? Yacht? Cruise liner? Row boat?? Wink have lots of fun rocking it, whatever size boat it is!!

failsafe fingers crossed AF hasn't arrived!!

Thanks all for the fingers crossed/luck - I'll be sure to update you all tomorrow!!
