I hope nobody else has started a May conception thread; April isn't going to be it for me, so onwards and forwards ladies!

congrats to all who are getting positives and hang on in there to the rest of us

am going to docs later as have sickness pretty constant, funny headaches, still achy breasts & had on / off cramps. mirena out on 25 apr, think ovulation should have been approx 6-13 may. worked at the project a lot in tht time.

I guess am just getting hopes up tho hey, no way of working out what cycle is up to this month. i think my af would have been 22 april if mirena hadn't been in, and was 28-33 day cycle before mirena.

do you think doctor will do a blood test for me?

tks so much

Fantastic! You can start a 'due in Feb 2007' Ante-natal thread. How exciting.

mummy2jake from the June thread has just had a BFP and should be due a few days after you, so that's two of you. Smile

I had a weird hpt experience this morning. (See June thread for details). Not too hopeful, but there is a slim chance I could be joining you...

soundbites · 30/05/2006 12:46

Thank you Trace and Hopecat! So excited.

I hadn't worked out a due date so that link was great. It said:
Your baby will be born on or around Thursday, 1 Feburary, 2007
You are 4 weeks pregnant.

WOW! Our 3rd wedding anniversary is on 31 January so we might get something a lot more exciting (and demanding) than leather which I think is for the 3rd anniversary! Grin

Congratulations Soundbites! Brilliant news! Have you worked you due-date out yet?

If not, you can do it \link{http://www.babycentre.co.uk/\here}. Smile

congrats, sooooooo pleased for you, have a happy and healthy 8 months

soundbites · 29/05/2006 16:02

Hi ladies

Have a confession to make - I did the test this morning and ... BFP!!

We are both so delighted (and rather amazed).

Thanks for all your support.

hiya soundBites

it's possible that if you had an eratic cycle before you went on the pill this might become eratic again when you stop taking it. the pill regulates your cycle because of the hormones, and when you stop taking it you have a withdrawal bleed, and obviously if you go on to take the next packet the cycle starts over again .. iyswim?

Tbh, I would wait till the longest day, i.e. if your cycle was 35 days before, then wait till cd35 or longer if you can. If you're not pg, it's likely that your af will arrive and you will be spared the disappointment of a bfn and the added frustration of waiting for your af to arrive. if you are pg, then your af won't arrive, and you'll still be pg on cd35 or longer, and the chances of getting a bfp will be increased because the hormone amounts will be stronger by then. good luck xx

trace2 · 28/05/2006 20:26

oh looks good soundbitesSmile
hi hopecat,

have i missed anything good, any bfp?????

Hopecat · 28/05/2006 20:17

Good luck soundbites - fingers crossed for you x

soundbites · 28/05/2006 20:12

Sorry to hear that Trace. I am STILL here ... and I don't know whether AF ought to have started on Thurs / Fri (days 28/29) as it did when on the pill or whether I have reverted to my very erratic cycle. DH and I did succumb to buying ClearBlue yesterday but when I read the leaflet it said to allow for the longest stretch of your irregular cycle. I managed to find some old diaries and established that in the 16 months prior to going on the pill I had anything from 23 days to 35 days, averaging at 24 days so I just don't know. Taking this into consideration we thought maybe we'd test on Thurs which will be day 35 if AF hasn't arrived yet. Am sure that my boobs are a lot more sensitive (and DH is convinced they look bigger - ever hopeful!!!) ... but maybe I am just making myself believe it. I hate the suspense and am trying to tell myself that it couldn't possibly have happened first try, but yet want it to be true too!

trace2 · 28/05/2006 19:59

am jumping to june thread too girlsSad, sorry about us all, am on day 7 now, so come on soundbites, am routing for you!

coggy · 25/05/2006 18:17

Hello, only me!
Just popping back pleased to see that someone is still hanging on here!!

Trace is away at the mo. I think she'll be back in three or four days.
Hopefully you and she will have some good news from this May thread.

I hope so. :)

soundbites · 25/05/2006 16:06

Trace2 / Gemmaseascout - are you still with me? We've (sadly) lost Wannabe, Coggy, Hopecat & Flowertot so I feel I'm the only one left! AF ought to start tomorrow. Fingers crossed that it doesn't!

Debbsy · 22/05/2006 15:36

So sorry Wannabe :(

Hopecat · 22/05/2006 14:36

So sorry Wannabe - we were all rooting for you Sad

peachygirl · 22/05/2006 13:03

Oh wannabe I'm so sorry Sad but at least it means they can sort you out.

wannaBe1974 · 22/05/2006 06:59

hello all :)

well thought I'd just pop on and say hi and let you know that ... af arrived over the weekend! proper af this time, no discharges etc, just af as it should be! It's only 5 weeks late ... lol.

Anyway just wanted to give an update :).

I'm actually not upset as knew I wasn't pg after all the tests etc,am still waiting for my thyroid result and then hopefully they can do some further research and findo ut what's wrong. Have pretty much given up on ttc after this experience as is really impossible to be ttc when you don't even know when/if af is going to arrive.

Anyway just wanted to update :)

peachygirl · 19/05/2006 21:21

Trace have a great holiday even if AF arrives relax and enjoy the sun and sea with Jack and DH.

trace2 · 19/05/2006 19:23

trace2 · 19/05/2006 19:21

laughalot · 19/05/2006 19:18
