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

Well wannaBe....it's the morning - have you or haven't you? Grin

(used that test!!)

wannaBe1974 · 30/04/2006 22:22

hiya all :)

Well, I bought the twinpack of clearblue, might test in the morning although if bfn I'll be gutted, even though dh says we should follow the medical advice and wait two weeks. Stuff that, i wanna know, and I wanna know ... now! did say to dh we should buy one of every brand of test in the shopt, lol.

peachygirl · 30/04/2006 16:48

I think we get symptoms but whether they belong to a BFP or Af is a debatable issue.
Hi jusapea welcome

pussycatmomma · 30/04/2006 16:45

hello justapea-new-lady Smile Welcome to more on-line worrying than you can shake a stick at! No, we are all lovely honestly.
Peachy, yes am in 2 ww. Had the egg sign on persona on 12 and 13, other time was 10 and 11. Did bd on 7,10,11,13 and 14. So who knows if this month may be lucky or not. Cant believe its nearly june....Even though we havent used contraception for nearly 2 yrs, june will be 6months of "officially" trying. Do you reckon anyone ever really gets symptoms before bfp, or do you think we just imagine it all?

peachygirl · 30/04/2006 16:39

day 14 which was around the time of ov last month but not seeing much CM and nothing on persona yet month before it was day 16/17 so I'll try to cover all possible days!
how about you are you in the 2ww?

jusapea · 30/04/2006 16:39

Hi all, just thought Id pop by to say hi as Im a newbie(ish) to MNSmile.
I have no idea what CD Im on, as no AF since Jan, so just tesing Mother Nature at the mo to see what happens!

Wannabe- loads of luck with your next test, I really hope its a BFP for youGrin

Lots of baby dust to you all!!!

pussycatmomma · 30/04/2006 16:33

Hi peachy, am still here. Glad you are having a good go this month.

peachygirl · 30/04/2006 16:32

pussycatmomma · 30/04/2006 16:29

Trace, just wanted to wish you lots of luck with your clomid, wont be long for you now either im sure.
Peachy, you are a proper lay-deeeeeee arent you, theatre and what-not. Just make time for some old fashioned pleasure as well, you need a proper baby dance too, not just these cultured evenings out Wink
love and hugs to all x x x x x x

trace2 · 30/04/2006 14:10

hi Amanda, hope your in luck,

wannabe i really do hope you are i think you areWink,

well am on 2and day of clomid and am knackard, i wounder if its the drug

Amanda01 · 30/04/2006 14:07

Hiya girls :o I've not had time to read everything, lol, but i hope we've had some BFPs this month!!!!!

My AF is due in about a week, but i don't think i ovulated this month, so i'm not excited at all really!!!

I have a stash of ebay cheapie tests ... i figure i'll use those, and if i (please god) got a few BFPs with them, THEN i'd go out & buy a more expensive test to confirm :)

We all know the answer is to wait til AF is a week late, THEN we'd test ... but welcome to the real world, we all wanna know!!! Right?!

Baby dust to all :o

xXx

wannaBe1974 · 30/04/2006 14:02

hiya all :)

well, cd42, no af, still major pg simptoms including feeling very nausious, and I am absolutely sure I have a small bump. Have resisted testing again but am likely to buy a test today and will test with first morning wee tomorrow me thinks. have said I'll buy a twin pack and if this one is bfn i'll hold out till the two weeks gp suggested. am now sure I'm pg but part of me is being cautious still.

Hope everyone else is ok :)

laughalot · 30/04/2006 13:03

Hi anyone around ?

maazaa · 30/04/2006 10:56

Thanks for the tip - will check out and then lock away so I can't be tempted!!!!! We bought a pack of two Boots own ones originally - cost about £6, so not sure how accurate they would have been anyway!!!! Though, they claim to be as accurate as a doctor's test. Anyhow, clearblue sounds good, Coggy!

coggy · 29/04/2006 20:44

Sounds like an interesting day Hopecat!
the things we do......

I don't know if you saw my previous message (on one thread or another!!) but it might be useful..(and for you to maazaa)...
My local Boots are giving away a FREE clearblue (normal) pregnacy test with any other clearblue thing bought. Could be useful if it is a national promotion - worth checking out. :)

Hopecat · 29/04/2006 16:27

Maazaa, thanks for your words - much appreciated. When I started trying I kept doing tests on CD22. Costs a fortune, but at the time you don't care, do you?

Not doing it any more though. They've become a regular household expense.

I know you can get cheaper ones on ebay, but I worry about whether they're approved ones or not. I like the digital ones best.

Had a really hard day at work today: lots of heavy lifting and jumping around (don't ask). In fact, I ended up on stage with a load of 10 year olds dressed as pirates singing the Yo Heave Ho song. What a way to make a living.

laughalot · 29/04/2006 10:21

Hi ladies well yesterday seemed like quiet a dayfor hormones Grin well im cd25 and feel well pretty normal keep crying though at things on telly by=ut I am a soppy person so not reading much into it. Lol mazza already done 2tests and just started ttc, you will be skint keep paying for tests Grin

maazaa · 29/04/2006 09:50

If it's any consolation HC, I think I'll be more like you as time passes......we had two go's at bd - unprotected and I really thought it could have happened and tested 5 days later, knowing the result would be BFN, but just wanting to see. DH is just as bad - made me do another one before embarking on a boozy night - think he was just being hopeful too! All this and we've only just started ttc! Think the novelty is wearing off now - that and the cost of home pregnancy kits! Am trying to be more sensible about it. However, as nobody knows what we're up to, it is fabulous to read MN, ask q's, gossip etc and I really appreciate the outlet.....and I know I have a long journey ahead! If you can't rant here, or be a bit irrational, where can you?!

Hopecat · 28/04/2006 17:42

Hi Peachy & Wannabe. Ashamed at my rant now. Blush

Know everyone on here is going through their own thing.

Not being the most rational of ladies today. Sorry girls.

peachygirl · 28/04/2006 16:53

I do understand what you saying hopecat, but you only have to look down the threads to see post after post of peole saying 'am I or aren't I' and more often than not AF arrives after they have stressed themselves silly about it all. I do wish you lots of luck and I hope this do work for you this month, your symptoms do sound very positive, maybe I'm just used to people being a bit more cautious including myself
What I really need everyone to say is peachy just get on with it and stop faffing about!!! and get your DHs arse in gear too

Debbsy · 28/04/2006 16:52

Peachy lol,at fanny farm

Hopecat · 28/04/2006 16:48

Thanks Debbsy Grin

Debbsy · 28/04/2006 16:47

good luck

Hopecat · 28/04/2006 16:46

Alright Peachy, don't mean to sound touchy, but I came onto Mumsnet in the first place so that I could say all these things that I can't say in RL. I know that one of the reasons you are both giving me this advice is because it's something that you try and follow yourself, but I feel that if I don't say this stuff I'll burst, and where better than cyberspace to express all this taboo stuff? We're not supposed to express too much hope in case we're wrong. I don't care about wrong or right, I just care about being pregnant. I am a very strong, rational and capable woman with my own business. I am not prone to depression or self-delusion.

I am, however, a naturally positive person, and I often feel this is frowned on in this country. I know you're all trying to be kind, but actually all I need right now is for people to say 'good luck'.

Rant over.

peachygirl · 28/04/2006 16:46

sorry a bit of crossing of threads, I just don't wnat you to be disappointed hopecat
