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

Just wishing you all a lovely bank holiday weekend! Hope it's a fabulous time of bfp's, more symptoms and bd!

Anyone doing anything nice? Not much happening for me, but no work is wonderful!

Fingers crossed Hopecat and Wannabe that the symptoms progress into the right results!

elliepippamummy sperm can survive inside the body for up to 5 days, so if you've had intercourse recently then missing out today may not be a problem - you could still conceive if you ovulate.

wannaBe1974 · 28/04/2006 15:12

hc what day are you on? have you considered doing a test?

Hopecat · 28/04/2006 15:11

Wannabe: that's really positive. Your GP said what we were all thinking. Smile

Can't wait for your BFP!

I was awake until 2am. Got so many symptoms now I can't even be bothered to list them, except for the new one: nipples are going darker.

Pretty sure I've conceived, but no idea if it's going to last this time. Keep your fingers crossed.

Debbsy · 28/04/2006 14:52

lol

wannaBe1974 · 28/04/2006 14:39

lol at doing 5 tests debsie, I wonder if clear blue/fr/whoever else makes pg tests put some sort of subliminal messages on their labels that actually say "you must doubt the first result, you must test several times to be sure". lol

laughalot · 28/04/2006 14:36

Iv been meaning to say for ages wannabe I used to go out with a lad from namibia in fact when we moved back to england he came over but we split up he started seeing someone else.

laughalot · 28/04/2006 14:34

aaaah wannabe if anyone desreves it you do so heres hoping. Well I had a 35 day cycle last month which means im not due ill 8th may if it is a 35 day cycle again so we shall wait and see.

wannaBe1974 · 28/04/2006 14:32

Hiya again all :)

Lota if your sore boobs have disappeared and af still hasn't showed then this could be a positive thing in itself. A lot of people don't have the sore boobs with their 2nd pregnancy that they had with their first, and even if they do, often the soreness doesn't start to happen till a couple of weeks into the pregnancy. It could be that your body was preparing itself for Af and that an embrio has now implanted and halted that process. I've always had sore boobs before af was due to arrive, and almost every month I've convinced myself that I must be pregnant, and every month af has arrived, this month I didn't get any sore boobs, nothing happened, so I convinced myself that I must not be pregnant and that af must be going to be incredibly late. Now it seems there's a chance I could be pregnant although I'm being very cautious about thinking that, but just remember that our bodies seldom behave in exactly the way we think they will. good luck x

Hi ladies cd24 update sore boobies have gone I think iv been amking symptoms up in my head im gutted.

NatalieJane · 28/04/2006 13:06

Sorry to hi-jack, but wanted to point you in the direction of the chat thread Peachy. :)

peachygirl · 28/04/2006 13:05

wannabe I was out late at the opera - at the Royal Opera house (ooh get her!!) last night and didn't get a chance to post but I was thinking of you and I'm glad it sort of went well. Fingers crossed here for you.

Debbsy · 28/04/2006 12:37

i know what you mean even when i did my test and got a bfp i still sat there looking at the digital test expecting it to go to not pregnant then i still did 4 more.Drs dont normally commit themselves unless there is some reason too do they so agree with your dh,ooh this means you will be on the dec thread with me.What tests have you been using?if i take a while to reply its because im working from home and am in thr middle of a drug tender.

wannaBe1974 · 28/04/2006 12:02

aw thank you debsie (((hugs)))

I'm still being very cautious not to get excited. DH is pretty much saying "well gp wouldn't get your hopes up unnecessarily if she didn't think so", but I'm erring on the side of caution, I'm not going to think of myself as pg until i have a bfp test in my hand. On the plus side though, the longer I have to wait for my result, means that it's a shorter period of time that I have to hold off telling people. but I keep saying to myself "I'm not pregnant I'm not pregnant I'm not pregnant", because if I tell myself I am pregnant then if the test is bfn in two weeks then the disappointment will be that much greater - am I rambling now?

Debbsy · 28/04/2006 11:56

I didnt want to say anything either, Wannabe but i really think you are too, its just a feeling,you have been in my thoughts all week and will continue to be until you get your answer. :)

coggy · 28/04/2006 11:14

Oh, oh, oh......I'm liking the sound of this more and more :)

I really do hope so. x

wannaBe1974 · 28/04/2006 10:34

thanks trace :) ((hugs))

trace2 · 28/04/2006 10:20

i didnt want to get your hopes up, but i have still posted anyway

trace2 · 28/04/2006 10:19

oh wannabe i hope it all turns out for you, i have avoided posting, to you because i beleive you are pg, so good luck

wannaBe1974 · 28/04/2006 10:14

morning all :).

Well have just got back from gp, and ...

I told her about all simptoms, about the spotting I had which didn't amount to anything, about my spots and nausia and general emotional miserableness, but also told her that I'd done two tests and that they were both bfn. and she replied that I need to wait another two weeks and then do another test and that if that is bfn she will "eat my hat". So I asked outright if she thinks then that I am pg, to which she replied that I know my body, and that all the simptoms point to it yes. She then told me that she had actually not got a bfp with her second pg until she was 11 weeks, even though she knew she was pregnant. She said that hpt's aren't as reliable as the packets suggest, they claim to be 98% accurate on the day of missed af, whereas she said it's more like two weeks after, also that she's lost count of the number of people coming in saying they've got simptoms and hpt says no.

so, I'm not putting my heart on this but I still live in hope :)

Debbsy · 28/04/2006 08:50

Wannabe good luck for today at Drs hoping you get some answers.

trace2 · 28/04/2006 08:29

yes coggy you are,lol just the same as me. well af came good this morning

coggy · 28/04/2006 08:26

Does having three messages in a row mean that I am REALLY addicted? I must get out more!

wannaBe...I actually just came on to wish you all the best for this morning.
I hope you get the answers you want. X

coggy · 27/04/2006 22:23

Trace - I expect you have gone...but just to let you know I have order some preseed from access diagnostic. It seemed to be the cheapest (I'm not on eBAY) and the site that has been recommended on MN a few times. HTH.
