Hi everyone - I've started the new thread as our original one is nearly full.

I really hope that this is the one where we all get our BFPs and don't have to experience any more heartache.

No probs baby, I havnt checked yet but will sort it out this weekend, I was in morrisons yesterday and they've stoped selling them in mine now and there is a different brand there, I wonder if they are getting rid to switch brands so it will go on till they've all gone, anyhow they've gone from mine now

Hi ladies.
I'm back home after a week away for my Grandad's funeral.
Great to come back to two bfps. Congrats!
I'm on cd19 and ov yesterday. As I was away from dh for a week we've been more than happy to dtd regardless of ov!! I'm not going to buy any tests this month unless af is very late 'cos I was just too obsessed about it all last month and then so down when I got my bfns and then af.
I hope we see loads more bfps on here this month and next.

suzydelarosa · 24/10/2012 14:20

babyjames - how are you getting on this cycle? I think we were OV at the same time so just checking that you DTD on the weekend and are going to be poas-ing with me next week.

Sorry - am I getting too personal?!! Nothing like a stranger writing you to remind you to have sex!!

posyplum · 24/10/2012 11:20

Congrats too Quin - wow, I have missed a lot! What a lucky thread. x

posyplum · 24/10/2012 11:19

kittykatskumkwat · 24/10/2012 07:19

Ha ha ok baby if you pm me your address I will sell you some, I've got 3 boxes of 7 and you can have them for what I paid which is £3.38 per box I think, just let me know if you do and how many

babyjamesblackberrycrumble · 23/10/2012 21:16

Sorry all for mixed up message! Silly phone!

babyjamesblackberrycrumble · 23/10/2012 21:15

Congrats on the bfp's kittykats if you fancy selling il buy the sticks. Dont seem to sell them in my local store.

kittykatskumkwat · 23/10/2012 20:11

Oh no peanut it still is a major bargin, not sure how long it will go on for but can't see it much longer,you would still make money on them if you sold them on eBay which is what I'll do if I get through this pregnancy, seems like tempting fate at the minute! I'm good really, the 12ww is obviously going on forever but I've not had any danger signs yet touches wood I'm having a private scan on sat when I should be 9wks just for reasurance x

YorkshirePeanut · 23/10/2012 18:06

hahaha kitty really? Bummer, thought I'd bagged myself a bargain, there was no savings sign just the price! Never mind, at least I won't run out in the near future... How are you doing? xxx

AlmondFrangipani · 23/10/2012 18:06

Congrats Quin!! Loving all the BFP's!!

Woody working for yourself sounds amazing! I have decided to try and go for the job and called them yesterday to say that. I am due to meet the Chairman on 2nd Nov. They said they wanted to recruit someone by the end of the year ready for a start in Jan so I guess I will know in a month. The problem is patience is not my strong point and I am waiting on the job thing, waiting for the house buy to go through and now waiting to TTC! Feel a bit sad about not TTC for a few months but it is best if I get this job...

kittykatskumkwat · 23/10/2012 17:59

Congrats to Quinn, sorry missed your bfp, so pleased for you x

kittykatskumkwat · 23/10/2012 17:51

Oh so I ended up with 3 packs I now don't need Blush

kittykatskumkwat · 23/10/2012 17:51

Yorkshire they've been that price for the last month, I mentioned it earlier in the thread, no mistake as it said save £12.96 on the price guide

MunchinMango · 23/10/2012 17:25

Peanut don't feel bad I would prob feel same as you too. It's great for your friend but its bittersweet for you. I had my sil to stay at weekend with her 11mth old baby and her 6 mth baby bump!!! I should have been due our baby this month but alas not to be. Chin up and fx for a bfp soon for all of us.

YorkshirePeanut · 23/10/2012 17:02

munchin I needed cheering up, friend had her baby today, and I'm feeling a bit bad for feeling a bit bad about it! Love her dearly and am so pleased for them, but........meh Envy

MunchinMango · 23/10/2012 16:58

Congrats Quinn. At last some Bfps to cheer us all on.

Peanut good shopping on the opks!!! Your right I would have bought loads as well.

YorkshirePeanut · 23/10/2012 16:37

OOOH two on the trot! Congratulations Quin! I used to go for a tonic water with lime, nobody can tell there's no gin....but depends on your usual tipple I suppose! And I hope I'm sick CONSTANTLY next time, so I know what you mean - last time I had diddly squat in the symptom stakes.

In other news, for all us still TTC, I think Morrisons have made a mistake on their pricing and CB ov stick 7 packs are selling at £3.33 at my local Morribobs, think they're normally about £17. Needless to say have just bought four packs haha! Take THAT, Mr Clearblue, I've got some of my money back off you! Mwahaha!

Quinandthem · 23/10/2012 13:47

thanks - fingers crossed it's a sticky month for everyone...

now have to try not to be a neurotic mess with every twing or pain which i think might be even more difficult than getting pregnant!

is it wrong that i'm actually hoping for morning sickness just so i know some pregnancy hormonesare flying around?

MissMedusa · 23/10/2012 13:13

Another BFP, this is a really lucky thread!
Congratulations quin

messtins · 23/10/2012 13:03

Congratulations Quin ! Hurray for lots more BFPs on the board!

Gingerpanther27 · 23/10/2012 11:59

Congrats quin :) l

janiewoozle · 23/10/2012 11:35

congrats quin that hour long wait must have felt like a year!!! delighted for you!

when i was pregnant i got a urinary tract infection and the docs put me on amoxycillin. i was away visiting friends and said i was on antibiotics and they guessed straight away that i was preggers - they thought i was telling lies - prob because i had been talking the month before about TTC etc.

but maybe if your family aren't aware that you're trying then it would be ok. also a urinary tract infection is one of those things that people don't like to talk about - it's a bit more personal/private than say a chest infection - so they won't push it!! often people say that drinking is fine on antibiotics - which it kind of is, but it just makes the pills not be as effective etc.

another option is to have vodka and cranberry or vodka lime and soda but actually just have the mixer - but make sure DH goes to the bar or pours them for you!!

Quinandthem · 23/10/2012 10:26

Hi girls,

Well I was feeling a bit queasy yesterday ? not constantly but enough to make you think ?what was that?. So I POAS when I got home and it came up with a positive. So excited but I had to wait an hour for my OH to get home from work and think of a way to tell him.

We are re-doing our downstairs toilet so I decided to tell him that I couldn?t help him seal the tiles (that we were planning to do last night) as I couldn?t work with the adhesive because we were pregnant ? and I showed him the stick.

He was very happy as he was also starting to get a bit concerned about the lack of progress.

Now my next problem is that my dad & step mum are coming to stay this weekend, and whilst we?re not alcoholics ? drinking will be expected on Saturday night with the meal and afterwards. I don?t want to tell anyone yet so does anyone have any good excuses that I could roll out for why I?m not drinking, antibiotics?

p.s. I?ve also changed to de-caff coffee and generally get a bit healthier as my bmi was 30.
