Hi jones must be catching got my af this morning too! I'm not due on till thurs/fri so its early!

VJONES1985 · 27/08/2013 09:43

Three that's good to know, will have to get advice from you in the future!

Well guys, the 2ww became a 1ww for me as AF got me after only seven days. Am gutted and had a cry but hoping the short luteal phase is just down to me coming off the pill.

lucyfluff · 27/08/2013 09:37

This morning I am feeling sick.......:( how's everyone else?

ThreeFromDesire · 26/08/2013 23:09

Jonesy- I'm diabetic also and have had a natural birth as well as sections. The sections were not for diabetic reasons though so there's hope yet! Although with all three births I was heavily monitored, induced the first time, em cs the second and stopped prem labour then em cs for the third. I'm still hoping for a natural (and non induced) birth next time but after 2 sections I'm probably dreaming lol.

I'm poas every day! I'm totally of the writerwannabe variety lol

If A.F stays away from us then we'll be testing buddies. xxx

VJONES1985 · 26/08/2013 22:35

I'm testing on Sunday too

internationallove985 · 26/08/2013 22:31

The witch is due 31st. If she doesn't visit I'll start testing from the 1st Sept. xx

VJONES1985 · 26/08/2013 22:30

Thank you :) And my fingers are crossed for you too! When is AF/BFP due?

internationallove985 · 26/08/2013 22:28

HI VJones. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that first of all you get your B.F.P very soon and when you do. I keep my fingers crossed that they allow you to deliver naturally. xx

VJONES1985 · 26/08/2013 22:23

I want a natural birth so badly... but I'm diabetic so may end up having a c section for medical reasons :(

internationallove985 · 26/08/2013 22:21

Hi Refoca. It was indeed a fun afternoon.. We spent around 3.5 hours in bed (Big smile)
I watched corrie this evening as well where Kylie had her baby and although it wasn't real it made me think if I do get pregnant I'm definately opting for another c/section. xxx

VJONES1985 · 26/08/2013 22:16

Oh wispa, how annoying. Ah well, approach September with gusto!

Right, who are the stragglers still on the August bus,then??

ELR · 26/08/2013 22:14

Sorry to hear that wispa but like you said see you in September!

wispaxmas · 26/08/2013 22:10

Aaaand, I think that's officially me out for this 2ww with spotting bang on schedule for AF arrival tomorrow; I'll see you all in September Sad

wispaxmas · 26/08/2013 22:03

Ahh, I get the same way. The long weekend is killing me, and I'm off work tomorrow and weds, too! Luckily I've got a few big events coming at work to focus on soon, but it doesn't help now, does it? Hence posting on here all the time!

VJONES1985 · 26/08/2013 21:39

I will be obsessed to an extent because I'm that sort of person but it's worse this month because I'm off work. Next month I'll be back to being busy and stressed at work.

wispaxmas · 26/08/2013 21:35

Like tea said, vjones, it's just your first month trying. We've been at it 3 months now, but I think I'm only just now getting to the symptom spotting and all that.

That being said, there's still hope for this cycle, but since there's nothing you can do but wait for AF's due date, try to relax and take a load off. Find something to distract yourself with. If you don't fall pregnant this month. Are you going to be this obsessed next month, too? It's too much reassure to have for 2 weeks of every month, especially if you've only just come off the pill.

VJONES1985 · 26/08/2013 20:18

I know you're right, Tea. I will be heartbroken, I won't lie. But I have managed to calm down a lot and have convinced myself not to get hung up on symptoms.

IF when Sunday comes its a bfn, remember this is just your first cycle, and you'll be able to begin a second cycle with full throttle Smile

Ha ha! Thank goodness my IC tests won't arrive until around Thursday and even then I'm not poas until Sunday! Give me strength!!!

Refoca · 26/08/2013 20:10

:-o writer!

VJONES1985 · 26/08/2013 19:46

And I'm doing so well to ignore my 'symptoms' this week. Have told myself they're caused by pill withdrawal and am not getting excited!

VJONES1985 · 26/08/2013 19:39

Refoca Just waiting until af due date is good for me! But the way I see it, it's putting off potential heartbreak x

Writerwannabe83 · 26/08/2013 18:44

Refoca - most of them were Internet cheapies Smile However, if I convinced myself I could see a line I would go out and buy a CB or FR test and pee on that! That then resulted in me learning that I had not seen a line Smile

Since getting my BFP I have 'checked again for reassurance' about 10 times, all of which were done with CB or another store brand.

My husband would hit the roof if he knew how much I've spent on pregnancy tests over the last 2 months Grin

Refoca · 26/08/2013 18:38

PS - Writer ...I assume you weren't peeing on shop bought sticks? You'd be bankrupt :-p
