About to start / Just started TTC no.2 (part 3)

Happy New Year to everyone! Congrats Metal! Nice start to the New Year!
Sorry to lucy especially being 8 days late, but good your feeling positive about things, and hope that this is your year!

Please stop me from SS! I have no idea how many DPO I am (I’m guessing about 6?) but I’ve had period like cramps all morning so far, Ive been feeling bit nauseous too and bloated, and I’m tired even though I had the longest sleep in ages last night! Hope I’m not just thinking I’ve got them! AF is due a week today though.

I'm with you hungry - I'm not actually being sick but I've barely been out of bed this week due to nausea. Ugh.

Hope everyone else had good new year's celebrations x

My MS lasted 10 weeks last time, and I was sick multiple times almost every day. Never overnight like last night though. That was hideous!

It could be the food, Metalhead, hopefully it is!

Morning all, and happy 2014! Hope it will bring us all lovely new babies!

Hi Lucy, sorry to hear AF got you, but at least you know where you stand now.

Boo to the BFN Chinese, but you're still in with a chance until AF shows up. Do you know how many dpo you are?

And sorry you're feeling so crap Hungry, MS is no fun. I had constant nausea with DD for about 6 weeks,though I never actually threw up. And I could swear I'm already starting to feel queasy now, although that's probably more likely to do with the amount of food I've eaten over the last week...

Boo! Maybe try again in a couple of days if still no meaningful AF. I think it takes about 5 days from implantation to positive HPT. Good luck!

I'm 8 weeks tomorrow. Can't get over how crap I feel. Trying to keep hydrated without tipping myself over the edge into pukesville again! This pregnancy lark is all glamour.

That was what I thought, Horace. But BFN. Gah. Sorry you're feeling so rotten. MS is the absolute worst. I think it might be slightly easier if trimester 1 wasn't so massively exhausting. How far along are you now?

Ooh, Chinese, implantation bleeding?! Good luck!

I am so ill. Far worse than I was with DD. I thereabouts saw the new year in with my head down the loo. Marvellous!

I'll come back later to see the result of the POAS! :-)

Congratulations metalhead! Lovely new year news :-)
Good to see you, Engels. It's hard to stay away isn't it?!
Swede...I hope you are feeling ok
Well now that all the fireworks have stopped (grump grump) I'm hoping to be able to get some sleep. Really hot in bed though. And... AF gave a very poor effort so if she hasn't arrived properly by the morning I'm going to have to poas. Keep your fingers crossed for us, ladies x

Lucy, it's good that you finally know where you are, even if a BFP would've been better. :-)

Engels, enjoy the pregnancy contraband food. Hopefully come next month you won't be allowed it!

Happy new year to everyone. xx

Congrats metal

sorry af got you lucy, but at least yo u can enjoy yourself properly this evening.

I know I said I was taking a break, but I can't seem to stay off the thread!

Have just had prawn cocktail followed by sushi and am now opening a lovely bottle of wine. Also have goats cheese, brie and blue cheese plus some lovely pink roast beef. Making the most of non-pg status for now!

all the best for 2014 ladies. Hoping that we all get a bfp in the coming year.

Lucy I have loads of opks and pregnancy tests just ic ones if you want to pm your address I can post you them? xx

Brilliant news metalhead

Thanks all, I still can't quite believe it! Had to make up a quick excuse for not drinking tonight...

And thanks for the reassurance Hungry, I will try not to worry and just hope all will be well.

congratulations metalhead such a lovely way to start the ny!
glad your feeling abit better today swede fx you go on to have a healthy pregnancy in the near future x

Oh, congratulations, Metalhead!

FWIW, somebody I met on a conception thread has a lovely healthy 7 month old boy who was conceived 6 months after coming off the pill with no period at all after the initial breakthrough bleed. So please don't worry about it, I am sure everything will be fine!

Such excellent news. :-)

Congratulations metal! Fantastic news.

Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better Swede. Hope things settle for you soon.

I have entered the oh so fun world of symptom spotting, although it is really still far too early for it. Today I am mostly having some gentle AF-like cramping. It probably happens every month but now I'm actually paying attention.

Have a good NYE tonight. I'm working tomorrow so we're having a quiet one and will probably be in bed by the bells.

Hi all, long time no see! Swede I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Glad you're feeling a bit better today and hope you can get back on the wagon soon. 2014 will surely be your year!

I have been absent for a while as I hadn't had a period since October. Been to the docs and was getting really pissed off with everything as you can imagine... Anyway, started using opks again a couple of weeks ago as I clearly hadn't ovulated yet, and got a +okp two weeks ago on CD67! So today I thought I'd better poas due to NYE party tonight, and [drumroll] I GOT A BFP!!!!

I'm in total shock, and am half expecting to lose it again any day as I've read lots of stuff about how it's bad to ovulate so late, but DH has told me to get a grip.

Sorry to all the newbies and everyone else I've missed, I haven't had time to read back through all the posts after I was last on here. Hope everyone has a good NYE tonight! x

Good Morning everyone and welcome all newbies. Thank you all for your kind words! Feeling better today, bleeding a bit less so hoping it is moving in the right direction. Going to stock up on opk's today to be ready to start ttc asap. Need something positive to focus on.

Hope everyone is feeling ok today!

Hi! May I hop on board? DD is 19mo - started TTC in Nov, but no AF yet so it's a bit hit and miss. Was BFing but stopped in Dec due to illness...

With no AF, I've been testing every week just to check I'm not pg, but no luck yet. Have started using OPKs every few days too, just so I can see if my body's actually doing something..

Swede, not that I know your story, but I'm so sorry for your loss.

Oh no swede I'm so sorry Good to hear that you have good support though.

Lucy it must be so frustrating. Some good advice above though.

I think AF is on her way so no BFP for me this month. Not massively disappointed as we had originally agreed to start trying in January, so this month was a bit of a bonus or trial run. Also got more stuff to think about at the moment. Family illness and some bad news about a friend and colleague are more pressing concerns. Fingers crossed for next month!

Sorry not to reply to more people but it's really hard to MN on the phone!

Swede I'm so terribly sorry. Shocked to read thateven though I know they are so common in early weeks.i can so imagine how horrible it must feel and just an incredible shock from the high of a bfp. I know it doesn't prob help right now but it will be your body doing it because something wasn't right. Just lots of hugs for your number one. I have so many friends u have had this and now have healthy babies.
Hi all newbies. Sorry Lucy can imagine the frustration.
I am awaiting the 16 week scan but way off and dreading going back to work and telling them. Such a busy month ahead with work too. X

Can I join in? DD is 5mo but I'm 40yo so gotta get on with it. Especially as I'm Bf'ing! Any advice?

Off to read through the thread....

Sorry to hear your news swede.

Here's to some bfp's soon! Though not hopeful for myself at all. Have tested 3 times over the last 3 days (despite telling myself not to!) and all were bfn's.

AF still not made an appearance but am pretty sure tomorrow it'll arrive (oh joy!).
Have had period pain (& moodiness!) all day.
Oh well I guess that means I can have a drink nye!!
