1sttime hope all goes well at the doctors and you're feeling better soon. Also hope that you get some answers with your cycle.

1sttimetryer · 02/08/2011 12:44

Hi lugsie, dont know when im due as never had a cycle this long, im on day 57 i think it is and my last was 48 and one before that was 42. been sent home from work cos im literally screaming in pain, got an appointment at 2:50, only hope they can help else they might see the wrong side of me, pain makes me moody!!!! I think its a hormone problem, might explain the moodyness Hmm

Kayzr · 02/08/2011 11:00

Lugsie he is away for 5 weeks. So it's every other cycle that we are going to have a chance of conceiving.

Lugsie · 02/08/2011 10:58

x-post 1sttime sorry for the BFN, when was/is af due?

Lugsie · 02/08/2011 10:56

Great news piggy - congratulations! Maybe you should tell your mum - I know my mum would realise something was up if I turned down a massage! Have you told your DH yet?

Sorry af got you shona, good luck for next month.

1sttime any news?

kayzr hopefully swi up until Thursday will be enough. How long is your DH away for?

1sttimetryer · 02/08/2011 10:53

Wow! Congrats, thats great news.
Negative test here. In agony toda with my boobs, feel like ive been jumped on. Might have to pay a trip to the dr's, spent the morning crying!!
Hope everyones ok x

PiggyMad · 02/08/2011 10:18

PS, not going to move myself from the list until after AF due, hope that's ok?

PiggyMad · 02/08/2011 10:16

Thanks Kayzr - hope you manage to get some action in over the next week!

Sorry you're out Shona :(

Fingers crossed for you, firsttime

I rang them and they said I can't have a massage but a facial will be ok. Can't go in jacuzzi, sauna or steam room though. I'm going with my mum so wonder if I should tell her as I'm sure she will wonder why I'm not using anything.

Hope everyone else is ok.

Kayzr · 02/08/2011 09:15

Wow Piggy First Response are usually very very good for early BFP's!! Congratulations!!!! Grin

I'd just ring them and see what they say.

PiggyMad · 02/08/2011 08:35

Ladies,
I just tested this morning as I'm off to a spa for a couple of treatments and wanted to make sure..... BFP!!!!!
Am shaking!
It's a first response one and the line is definitely there and pink. I'm 10-11dpo now and don't know what to do - eeek!
Excited but shitting myself as AF not due til Fri so don't want to get hopes up - wish hadn't tested early. Do you think I just phone the spa and ask if I should still have the treatments?
Sorry for ramblings - am in shock!

Kayzr · 02/08/2011 07:57

Morning,

Shona Sorry you are out this month.

Wouldbe Sorry you are out too. I've updated your stats as I had to do mine too.

I think I am out this month despite only being on CD5. DP is due back at work next week, usually goes on the thursday. That is the day fertilty friend says I will start to be fertile but ovulate on the sunday. Grrrr

Can i have a sip?! lol!! at least when AF arrives you know where you stand, this waiting is surely a form of torture!!!

ShonaJG · 01/08/2011 20:39

Thanks 1sttimetryer. Appreciated.

clink of ice in glass as pours large vodka

1sttimetryer · 01/08/2011 20:17

I think probably the latter shona , wer just all mad together! ha ha!! Oh no shona so sorry that your out, hopefully next month will be your month instead xx

ShonaJG · 01/08/2011 20:08

Speak of the devil :(

And I'm out :(

Day 26.

X

ShonaJG · 01/08/2011 19:38

Thanks for the good luck messages!

I'm still in, but only just...I can feel the rumblings of AF.

Rubbish!

Anyway, I can't tell you how nice it is to 'talk' to other women in the same place as me. It helps to know I'm not mad, or at least if I am I am in good company :)

1sttimetryer · 01/08/2011 18:59

Hi lugsie no news from me, had cramping most of today and super sore boobs! thinking i might do a test in the morning, but wanted to try and get a first response but they dont sell them in tescos and thats the only place open at the moment where i live!!! might just have to get tescos own.Anyone know if their any good?
Not long now and you and mr lugsie can get very busy!!!

Lugsie · 01/08/2011 13:37

Sorry about af wouldbe Glad to hear you're not letting it get to you though and fx for you for next month Smile

Any news shona & 1sttime?

Welcome wants3!

carlita - lovely to hear from you! How many weeks are you now? Thats great that you have no sickness or anything, fx it carries on like this the whole way through for you!

No news here except that I'm CD8 and af has finally disappeared yippeeee!! Going to cook something nice for DH tonight and have a cosy night in - let the SWI commence!!

Good luck to those still waiting to test!

Wants3 · 01/08/2011 06:30

Ok I will wait for next AF ( about 10th Aug) and then make my stats official! Ps wish something like this was around when I has my first babies!

wouldbemumandotherstuff · 31/07/2011 21:26

Hello to all! Carlita, great to have you dropping in on us and glad to hear all is going well. Grin

hi wants, welcome to the thread. we're a bit of a mixture. If you look at the stats above, you'll see that it's included in there.
AF got me today, so when someone re-does the stats, please scoot me to the end again! but I can use mine to explain.
my new stats are:
Wouldbemum (32) TTC#1 Cycle 8 UCL 26-34 days AF due 30th/31st Aug (ish)

so that gives my nickname, that I'm 32 years old, trying to conceive baby no.1, this is our 8th month since DH (dear husband) and I started trying, my usual cycle length and then when my next period is due - so we can cheer each other on at the difficult times and be hopeful for each others dates!

so, AF arrived today. boo. but actually I was much more down about it a couple of days ago (before it happened, which is weird, and goes so show my mind may be going....Confused) today I actually feel quite energetic and enthusiastic for next month. I am so much less stressed at work now than I was, and I feel very positive about the next few months.

good luck still shona - you're not out yet! Smile

Wants3 · 31/07/2011 20:29

Thanks 1st. Just what I thought but wanted to make sure before using! Are most people on this thread first timers or are there a mixture?

1sttimetryer · 31/07/2011 20:03

Hi Want, AF stand for Aunt Flo (Period) and BFP is big fat positive (on pregnancy test) :)

Wants3 · 31/07/2011 18:54

Hi, I am waiting for first period after coming off the pill before we start trying in Ernest! I am hoping it all happens quick again but never can tell. Can someone just confirm what AF and BFP mean please! :)

ShonaJG · 31/07/2011 08:33

Bfn this morning - bah!

I think am only 12 dpo so there is hope.

We say no to AFs!

Carlitawantsababy · 31/07/2011 07:09

Morning all!
lugsie I'm feeling brilliant thank you for asking, getting used to the sore boobies and apart from that just get gradually more bloated all day and flop in to bed with hippo- esque grace! No sickness or any of that stuff so very lucky!
toddle I'm so sorry to hear you are so ill! I totally agree (and I love camping) that yes, you'd regret missing an exotic holiday but really? Caravan holiday? I don't think I would regret it! Must just be because he loves you though! Smile Are you still in the playsuit?!
Welcome piggy! It's so much better to group obsess, this thread is so supportive too!
Thanks wouldbe! Glad you liked the sleuthing too, you spurred me on to look for twinkle and....can't find her, not on Rosy's April thread or anywhere else I can see... FX af doesn't show for you!
1sttime and Shona sounds positive! Good luck to you both, it's about time there were some more BFPs! Sorry to hear about all those receiving unwelcome visits from af and for those that are having a generally bad time, I hope you can turn it around soon. Smile
