Oh and congrats to all the lovely ladies who have got their bfp's

MrsB2013 · 19/08/2013 13:05

Hi ladies, is there room for a newbie on this bus?

Im 32 and DH is 31 TTC #1 cycle #1 bfp due around the 26th

Have been on the pill for 12 years, came off in July and had normal withdrawal bleed, and started TTC straight away.

Not sure when af is actually due so guessing around 26th. Have been taking folic acid and vit D (is there anything else I need?)

Fingers crossed Smile

Hope so Gillywillywoo! I have read a lot about vivid dreams and a lot of pregnant women dream about water! With my DS I never had dreams about being pregnant until my third trimester I just had unusual dreams and I could absolutely remember what they were about (hense the vivid, lol)

I had a dream 3 nights ago about the tide coming in towards me?! who knows, can't test until 26th but hopefully its my bodies way of telling me it will be a BFP! X

DisneyDiva87 · 19/08/2013 12:11

I had a dream last night Gilly about being pregnant and taking my CB digi test and everything, I'm hoping it's a sign that a wee ovum has been paired with a spermatozoa

leezl · 19/08/2013 11:50

Gilly I dreamt that my teeth fell out on Sat night, which I'm assured is a common pregnancy dream to have. Haha right. More likely I'm nervous about my impending dentist appointment ??

Hi all, think I have had a few symptoms the last few days but completely different to what I had with DS which is why I am wondering if they are symptoms at all!

Bit of advice please and opinions welcome! I never had a positive OPK this month but sure I felt ovulation, we dtd 3 times over that time and I think I am 10 dpo ish?!

I have had mild headaches, constipation, very vivid dreams, very tired at night, but then I get in from work at 8.30pm and asleep on sofa by 10. I have also had to get up at 4.30am as I'm busting for a wee!

Anything there or am I clutching at straws???

CONGRATULATIONS to all the ladies with BFP, may you have a happy and healthy pregnancy xxx

cheesysmile · 19/08/2013 10:06

Congrats to all the positives over last few days!

I have good news and bad news. Good news is pretty sure I ovulated yesterday or day before as temp rise today. Bad news is haven't dtd since Friday as had really bad stomach cramps / feeling sick yesterday. Still got today altho less than yesterday. Do you think all this means unlikely to get my bfp this cycle now? Feeling rather sorry for myself Sad

Morning ladies, I've not been posting much but I need your advice! Bfp/AF is due on wed, I tested last night and bpn Sad. Feeling very hormonal today and got some brownish discharge but not much. This is unusual for me, normally AF arrives in full flow iyswim! Do u think I'm still in with a chance or is this just AF on her way?

Vikkijayne2507 · 19/08/2013 08:44

Science I've been trying pretty much the same amount of time as you although I'm only classing this as cycle 3 as this is the 3rd cycle of using digi OPKs... Anything before that was a waste of time because we were dtd at the completely wrong time in my cycle and never actually dtd around ovulation! We'll get there Smile

Oh science I feel the same sometimes. I just think.. There must be something wrong.. Or this is going to take forever... All sorts of thoughts and emotions!

Our time will come I'm sure Smile x

Supercalafraga · 19/08/2013 08:25

yayyyy mamma! Good luck with the next test!

We did 4 tests in total! First one Internet cheapie 4 days before AF due - not even a hint of a line - was gutted. Then a superdrug one two days before AF and got a faint positive (followed by another one a day before AF and then a CB that afternoon! )
So to those of you have tested very early - dont give up! (and trust your ability to know your body and when it is acting weird! )

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you all for your support! Really hoping to see you all on the ante-natal threads soon Thanks

ScienceGeekGirl · 19/08/2013 08:25

Thanks gilly just after 6 months of ttc I just want my body to behave and I'm starting to worry I'm never gonna get my BFP (feeling sorry for myself today)

Mummabear12 · 19/08/2013 08:06

Good morning everyone!! So sorry to hear that a few o you got bfn this morning! Sending hugs!

I did cave in and test and I have a faint positive! I can't quite believe it yet so I'm guna try and get another test today! Don't know what to do with myself?!!!

leezl · 19/08/2013 07:53

dutchss · 19/08/2013 07:51

Hi tea Smile glad you're doing well!

I'm off work today.. WHY AM I AWAKE?! Grin

I'm halfway through my 2ww. Really hoping (as always!) that this is my month.

Positive OPK on cd20 this month and around that time we dtd on cd18, cd20 (morning and evening!) and cd22.

Gonna try not to test too early this month and wait until I'm at least 12-13 DPO.

I try not to symptom spot but I've had a lot of twinges and stitch/cramp like feelings in the last 2 day and also my boobs are aching. I'm sure it's too early for symptoms though!

I'll be gutted if I don't get a bfp.. Although... I'm on a hen weekend the last weekend of August so if I don't get a bfp I'm gonna have LOTS of cocktails!!!!!!

I might add I'm being a bridesmaid in October and the dress is sooo gorgeous... If I get a bfp I hope I have a slim start to my pregnancy! Grin

Science I don't temp anymore because I can't be arsed! However one month I was temping VERY precisely I didn't get a temp rise until 4 days after my positive OPK.
I guess after the positive OPK I didn't actually ovulate for maybe 48 hours and then it took another day or so to rise? Keep dtd just in case!

This is why I don't temp anymore.. Too much hassle and just another thing to think about!

Morning ladies.

So I did a FMU test and im pretty sure it is bfn. Looked at how the test works n I think it'll be quite susceptible to evap lines.

Gunna try n wait until Thursday to test now as I think AF is due Friday. On the plus side I have a birthday party to go to this weekend so if I can indulge in some wine I won't be too annoyed Wink.

Hope all the last stragglers on the bus are doing ok in there 2ww.
