Sounds like this ones a little sticky one piggy!! Amazing news!

AF is now 1 day late. Got my fingers crossed she's gona be 9 months late! I'll test on Monday if she's still not here.

Happy weekend to all you lovely ladies!

PiggyMad · 05/08/2011 08:38

Hi ladies,

1st time - my goodness, cd60?! Hope you get either bfp or af soon!
Good luck for bfps and lots of swi for lugsie and shona
wouldbe and kayzr- hope you both enjoy your trips away.
Hope af stayed away for you failsafe
Fingers crossed for everyone else and apologies if I've missed anyone Blush

I'm tentatively stepping over to Carlita's thread - af due today or tomorrow so let's hope she stays away. Did another FR test on Weds and was darker than the first so fingers crossed.

wouldbemumandotherstuff · 05/08/2011 08:12

packing to head off for a week.
great to have a graduates thread carlita - hope I can join you soon! I'd miss all of you if I had to leave the bus as soon as a BFP turned up!
thanks for the good wishes Lugsie
see you all when we get back, and FX for lots of lovely BFPs for you all!! Smile

Kayzr · 05/08/2011 07:35

Thats a good idea Carlita. I'm on an ante-natal thread which started as a conception one, then an ante-natal one and is now a mix of all 3. There are a few trying, a few pregnant and some with babies. We're all great friends and we've met up a few times now.

I'm trying to pack for the weekend. Hope it's sunny!!

Carlitawantsababy · 05/08/2011 07:26

New thread - CHECK! Grin

Carlitawantsababy · 05/08/2011 07:20

1sttime I don't know how you cope with those crazy cycles, hats off to you, my goodness!
lugsie the march thread I set up is good again now, we have a small friendly group, I've stopped posting on the main march thread as it's like the monthly conception buses on here, gets rammed with so many people that it seems they're just ignoring each other and posting about themselves, something we've never done on Weimy's lovely thread, people get welcomed and responded to! Grin
I will set up TTC a 2012 baby - the graduates for everyone and eagerly await your arrival!
Good luck to all those SWI ing this weekend (or land or sea) enjoy it and make it count! Wink

1sttimetryer · 05/08/2011 06:45

Morning All

Hope you have a lovely romantic weekend Kayzr

Lugsie i know you would love sore boobs because it means you could be pregnant, but believe me you dont want them either cos they hurt Grin luckily my sore boobs have gone now but i was crying in pain!!! felt like a fat man was standing on my chest!!!!
Im hoping i get either BFP or AF soon, this waiting is crap! cd60 now!! everyone else has had 2 AF's by now and i havent even had one!!!

Glad the course took your mind off things Shona its nice when you can completely forget about it all, i never realised how stressful ttc was, think i was pretty ignorant to it all tbh!

Hope you all have a lovely friday, and a fab weekend, lets hope theres some BFP's over the weekend :)

Kayzr · 04/08/2011 22:02

Just popping on to say I'm off for the weekend. Going to Brighton for a romantic weekend and to see some family. My SIL is about 23 weeks pregnant so I'm sure the broodiness will get lots worse.

Hope there are some BFPs when I get back. Have lovely weekends everyone.

Lugsie · 04/08/2011 21:58

Ooooh trope sounds very promising! I know what you mean about the sore boobs - every month I'm poking mine wishing they were sore... I'm sure now that any pain in them is from all the poking and nothing to do with af being due!

Welcome to the thread failsafe! Smile

Great news wouldbe, hope you have a lovely holiday!

Hope you get an answer soon 1sttime - keeping my fx for a BFP for you.

Aww sorry you're not enjoying the antenatal thread carlita - stick around here and keep us all updated on your pregnancy - hopefully won't be too long before we can all join you! Smile

ShonaJG · 04/08/2011 21:56

Been away on course with work this week. Had nice time and took my mind off it.

Its nice to come back and read good news. Well done Piggy! You can't beat a BFP, it's the best feeling in the world :)

Welcome new peeps. There will and shall be many 2012 babies! I was in labour during the last Olympics while Paula Radcliffe the marathon! I'm going for a double whammy!!

1sttimetryer · 04/08/2011 16:54

Good luck, i really hope AF doesnt come :)
Everyone is lovely here, had some brilliant support from everyone :)

Failsafe · 04/08/2011 12:53

Thanks 1sttimetryer.

I'm hoping I won't be here long (as lovely as you all are)!

AF is due tomorrow so we'll see!

1sttimetryer · 04/08/2011 08:34

Glad your test results came back to say your ov'ing, thats really possitive news.lots of swi and hopefully you will get your bfp very soon :)
Ooo get swi'ing then kay :) good luck :)

Kayzr · 04/08/2011 07:14

My clearblue fertility monitor is giving out a high reading!! I'm only on CD7. I was expecting it to stay low until next week.

wouldbemumandotherstuff · 03/08/2011 21:49

Hi all! lovely to have you with us, Carlita! I like trope's idea of a graduates thread (and would love to join it if when I finally get my BFP!)

FX for you trope - sounds promising! keep us posted!

welcome all the new people!!

I had my cd22 blood test result, and it was normal, so I am ov-ing, and it all should work - fx!!

I'm cd4 so just waiting for AF to sod off so this month's SWI can begin. and we're going on holiday on Friday, so very excited (though will be on a boat for the holiday - so that will be interesting.... Hmm)

1sttimetryer · 03/08/2011 20:27

Welcome Failsafe Hope your ttc journey is a short one :)

Nice to hear all about your pregnancy Carlita, do keep up updated :)

Im not too bad thanks Kayzr no breast pain anymore, just generally feeling groggy, never been so tired in all my life either. just feeling exhausted. I think ive come up with an idea about what is wrong!!! I am having a phantom pregnancy Grin
you know, like dogs have Grin ha ha!!!
Hmm maybe now but having lots of symptoms of pregnancy and no AF but pregnancy test is negative!!!
How is everyone? All had a nice day?

Kayzr · 03/08/2011 20:03

Evening,

Carlita it's very nice to hear all your pregnancy news. How are you feeling?

Trope fingers crossed for you!!

Welcome to the thread Failsafe, I've not been on this thread long but it is full of very nice people.

How are you feeling today 1sttime?

Twinkle Hope you are ok.

I'm on CD6 today and it seems like the end of next week is ages away. DP will probably be back at work Wednesday but it could be anytime from Monday onwards.

Hope you are all well.

Hey all!

Congrats to Piggy! and a big raspberry to all the AFs!

Hey carlita - great news about the scan getting booked! So exciting!! If the ante-natal threads are a bit, er, cautious and negative? you should start a

"TTC a 2012 baby - the GRADUATES!"

thread of your own and fill it with happy bouncy excitement!! When (when when when, not if!) I get my BFP I would most certainly join it! :)

Speaking of which, fertility friend has faffed back and forth over my OV day and is currently settled on CD12, which I actually agree with. That means that I am due AF sometime between Saturday and Tuesday (my last few cycles have been a tad erratic). I think we're going to test on either Saturday or Sunday, assuming no AF. Rather excitingly I have had some nausea and sore breasts (and isn't it just a funny world we live in when that's a good thing!) which I never get, so I am getting ever so slightly, very cautiously, optmistic! I had a temp dip over a couple of days and it has started going back up today, so .... who knows!!

More news as it happens! ;)

Welcome newbies by the way! So many people on our thread!! Grin

Failsafe · 03/08/2011 17:20

Hi, Can I join?

I'm failsafe (25) TTC#1 first month of trying!

I found it very scarey to finally decide to just ditch the pill and start TTC.
Its venturing into the unknown I suppose!
We decided to just see how things go for a few months, no OPK's or temping, just carrying on as normal and see what happens.
But I can see I will turn into a crazy symptom spotting lady not far down the line Grin

MammaInTheMaking · 03/08/2011 15:55

Not at all Carlita - it's lovely of you to have popped back. Let us know how your scan goes!!

I've been being quiet on here (although reading every single new post like some crazed moron!) because technically last month didn't count as cycle 1 (seeing as DP agreed to start TTC on what turned out to be OV day). We did the deed on OV day and the day after though i only realised this quite a few days later. Anyhowwwww AF is due tomorrow. I'm very regular so if it's not here by Sunday then something fishy (or baby related) is going on. Right now i'm super bloated, can't suck my tummy in at all and i've had very mini waves of nausia for about a week. Generally after eating (not that i'm monitoring it or anything...;) ) I'm probably symptom spotting like the crazed moron i described, but hey, I WANA BABY!

So basically if AF comes then fine, last month didn't count anyway. However if the whingy little cow does show up then she can bl**dy well get lost!

I've decided i'm not gona POAS until i'm properly late... RESIST THE URGE!

Carlitawantsababy · 03/08/2011 15:42

Oops, sorry! Did my little rant make everyone go away? Blush

Carlitawantsababy · 02/08/2011 22:58

Hi all Grin
Congratulations piggy!! fantastic news!! Grin
Sorry for all those bitten by the bitch, onwards and upwards is the only way to go!
lugsie I'm 6+4 now and have midwife an scan appointments booked so feeling more real!
I miss this thread, the ante natal ones are a bit, I don't know, uptight. Everyone's so damn miserable all the time and I just don't get it, okay, I'm lucky to have no sickness but not all of them do but it's this impending doom thing all the time worrying about mc,although for some people I guess they can't help worrying, worrying about it isn't going to help anything is it? Anyway, I am so damn happy I feel like telling everyone I meet so I'm finding it hard to relate! Thanks for letting me drop in here! I'm so looking forward to hearing about all your BFPs! Grin

1sttimetryer · 02/08/2011 22:26

Hi lugsie , im sure i replyed to you but it has vanished! Dr's didnt go to well, she said it is nothing sinister and its just hormones and theres nothing i can do about it. keep doing pregnancy tests and if im not pregnant then when i get my period it should go. got to take evening primrose too, see if that helps. She thinks its wise that im having tests in sept as i could have pcos. had to really push her to get all of that out of her, she was quite happy just to say its hormonal and me leave the room!!!

Kayzr · 02/08/2011 22:15

Lugsie it is horrible. I get so used to having him around. I miss adult conversation when the boys are in bed.

Lugsie · 02/08/2011 21:28

Oh no, hope you're feeling better soon 1sttime and that everything went ok at the doctors.

kayzr that must be so hard having your DH away for such long periods. Hope that this cycle is your lucky one Smile
