Part 3 for a chatty lot!
3 is the magic number, good things come in 3s, so here is hoping we get plenty more BFPs.....

Monster- yes it can be so bloody frustrating. It plays tricks with your head for sure. But it ain't over until AF arrives so I remain positive for you!!

SwedeAway · 15/12/2013 09:10

Just told DH. He is over the moon! Feel much more relaxed now. Think I will tell my parents next week. So nice that only the two of us know for now.

Sitting outside watching DD play in the pool. Lovely Sunday morning.

Spring = spotting

Monstersaurus · 15/12/2013 09:00

Yesterday. Not quite sure what is going on. Spring has settled for now. Nothing I can do but wait and test again tomorrow. It is so very frustrating.

SwedeAway · 15/12/2013 08:55

Sorry about the bfn Monster. When is/was AF due?

Monstersaurus · 15/12/2013 08:16

Another bfn this morning. Xmas Sad No AF either. Xmas Smile

Perhaps tomorrow...

SwedeAway · 15/12/2013 06:21

Hungry - is there an August thread somewhere? Have you joined.

Windywinston · 14/12/2013 21:48

Gosh Donna, sorry I completely missed your post, so sorry about DH's job. I hope things work out. I think you're right about TTC, we deserved a bit of luck.

Good luck tomorrow Monster xx

HungryHorace · 14/12/2013 21:43

Hi Crafty! Welcome to the lucky thread. :-)

Good luck tomorrow, Monster. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Welcome Crafty. hope you get your BFP soon.

Sorry to hear about your husband donnas. Rubbish time of year to get that news.

As for me, AF hasn't arrived quite yet. A bit more spotting but no actual AF today. I'll test again tomorrow if things aren't any clearer. Slight cramping all day which isn't fun. I have been quite emotional and bloated though. All remains crossed.

Thanks for starting the new thread Lucy, hope the lucky trend continues for you.

Toothpastekissesno2 · 14/12/2013 20:47

Congrats swede!!! That's great. What number are we on? Five or six?
My 12 week scan is Friday...(counting the days / mins !)
Engels I really can't believe your bad luck . All I can think is your body isn't ready yet. On the good side your body is obviously very keen to be pregnant so next time when it's right you should be in good position.
I'm eating chocolate and watching bad tv as dh out with the boys! X

donnas1984 · 14/12/2013 18:19

Windy I had no idea you had issues ttc no.1 aswell, think mother nature gave us a break this time x

Windywinston · 14/12/2013 16:33

Ha ha, that message was so good I posted twice! Sorry ladies xx

Windywinston · 14/12/2013 16:32

Welcome Crafty! We're a pretty lucky group so far so you've picked well. I expect this to be the luckiest thread so far.

I did exactly what you did, decided we'd TTC again in the new year then thought lets just stop using contraception now. Got a BFP 2 weeks later, now 17 weeks. Previously it took us just over 2 years TTC and I put my luck down to this thread!

Talking of luck, I've just finished all my Xmas shopping and am sat in Starbucks having a hot choc whilst DH gets my presents. I'm feeling pretty good right now, but I do wish coffee shops wouldn't smell quite so much of coffee ;-)

Craftychicken · 14/12/2013 14:55

Hi everyone, I'm very new to this and thought I'd say hello, hope you don't mind Smile. Me and DH have decided to start TTC and I stopped my pill on 4th December. We were going to wait until January and after AF but have DTD and I'm still waiting for the elusive AF!!! I've been getting a few PMT symptoms for the past week but no sign, I'm guessing it's too soon to have conceived.......Confused

HungryHorace · 14/12/2013 13:53

We are very close then. :-)

I'll be having a c section too I think, so I won't be going to term either.

Windy, my sickness stopped about where you are now last time. Hopefully yours will bog off soon too!

Windywinston · 14/12/2013 13:40

I knew it!!! Congratulations Swede that's brilliant news, I'm so pleased for you. What a fabulous Christmas present.

Good rhyming Lucy, let's hope the luck carries on and you get your BFP on this thread, I'm keeping my fx for you.

Engels, I'm so sorry this is all still dragging on for you, it's rubbish.

All is well here, DD is having a nap then we're going to walk to the shops to start our Christmas shopping. I'm 17 wks now and still being sick, but not as bad as last time. Fortunately I'm over the exhaustion stage, so I feel 100% better than I did a few weeks ago. I'm so embarrassed though, I look like I did at 6 months last time, I'm huge! I think I'm starting to feel the odd fluttering which is lovely.

Let's keep these BFPs coming ladies, I have high hopes for this thread xx

SwedeAway · 14/12/2013 13:38

Donnas - yes starting own business can be a bit scary I guess but as you said, a push in the right direction will help. Hope all goes well!

Hungry - just calculated on the net and it said 22 Aug so we will be close in our due dates then although I suspect mine will be a bit earlier than calculated as I will have a c-section.

Waiting for DH to come home so I can tell him!

HungryHorace · 14/12/2013 13:28

Swede, 20 something of August I'm guessing as I'm 23 DPO today and due on 14th.

I did wondering they'd guess, Swede, hence asking. :-)

Donna, that's not good. When does your DH finish work? Is there much else around where you are?

I can't believe you're 15 weeks already!

I could do with going back to bed. Shame that won't happen!

donnas1984 · 14/12/2013 12:58

Swede we had an idea but nothing was concrete untill yesterday. He is hoping to start up his own landscaping business it was something he dabbled in during the summer months. I genuinely think he can do it he just needs a push in the right direction x maybe we can work together I can manage his books haha x

SwedeAway · 14/12/2013 12:23

Hungry - I think I will have to tell parents and in-laws as we are all celebrating Xmas together. I usually do not say no to a glass of red so they will figure it out anyway.

Donnas - so sorry to hear about your dh's job. Was it totally unexpected?

Wanted to buy a pregnancy mag at the shops before but as my dad was with me I couldn't.

Haven't got my head around this yet. Not even sure when my due date would beBlush

donnas1984 · 14/12/2013 11:58

dh I mean

donnas1984 · 14/12/2013 11:47
