About to start / Just started TTC no.2 (part 4)

Btw it's my birthday on Sunday, a BFP would be a lovely present

Aww sorry you've had such a crappy day! It's totally understandable that you felt so stressed.

Roll on Saturday!

Hello all, have had awful day today - locked self out of house and had to pay stupid call out fee to locksmith. Plus for a long story I shouted at DS and made him cry and I feel awful as he is coming down with something so the last thing he needs is mummy shouting at him. And why do I think I'm ready for another?

was tempted to POAS in afternoon purely to relieve the awful day but a BFN may have tipped me over. Holding out for the party (though I might still wait til sun, can it be a POAS all-weekend party please lucy

metal sorry you're feeling so rough, forgive me if you've already said but did you have sickness last time?

claude, willow, utopian and lucy just one more day til the party

Toothpaste, I was sick as a dog with DD...had to build 2-3 voms into my morning routine! :-/ From 7-17 weeks.

I've been sick, but nowhere near as much this time. I feel sick, but that's it.

I'm not finding out. I like the surprise at the end. :-)

Busy work week but hi everyone! That's such good news better. Over the moon for u!!
Swede - good effort!
Lucy - eveything crossed for sat (it's my birthday so very lucky day!)
So did everyone that had a girl first time get proper morning sickness? I just had nausea with ds and same this time. Was fine as soon as I ate! So I think I'm having another boy! Love the guessing.
Anyone finding out?

Oh and claude you are now evicted from the party unless you can hold off from poas until sat morning! How else will we get our hat trick/multiple bfps!?

Thanks metal you are right, I should stop getting carried away!! Argh I hate the few days before poas, I always start to get my hopes up. It is definately too early for morning sickness isn't it! I think it's safe to say I am imagining symptoms....
Utopian It could be an early AF. Or it could be implantation.... Only the waiting game will let you know unfortunately. Verry gross question but is it kind of dischargy or is it more blood like? I always thought implantation bleeding is tinged with cm, but I could be wrong!!
Interesting to see if all those of you with different symptoms are having the opposites!
Swede any updates?

Thanks for the invite Lucy, I may well join the party. Would be so good as we're giving up from end of Feb to mid April to avoid ds 1's birthday/Christmas..

Some v light pinkness again today though - could it just be af starting in a veeeeery half hearted way?

Good luck to all those poas soon - I think we are due another BFP!

Lucy I would just caution against getting too hung up on symptoms like nausea! I felt quite sick a few times when I wasn't pregnant and proper morning sickness usually doesn't kick in until 5/6 weeks (although of course there are exceptions). Still, I've got everything crossed for you for Saturday and really hope you get your BFP this time!

I've been feeling pretty awful the last couple of days, been getting headaches on top of the all-day sickness. At least I saw my one friend who I've already told I'm pregnant today so I could have good old moan at her.

I did hungry . My mum knows my gran can't keep a secret!

I'm wondering if AF is on her way but I'm putting her off with my mental prowess ha ha!

Better, that's my theory too! So little sickness, comparatively.

A lot of the time I don't feel that pregnant. Til I do too much, then I'm knackered!

Lots of positive symptoms on here. Can we have a Saturday hat trick? Or even 4 if utopian gets a BFP too?!

Willow, I'd go spare if someone I'd trusted did that to me. Poor you. :-(

*are

Oh that's annoying willow, you need some answers!
Lucy - confession time, I tested again today and negative. Am an idiot. I will test on sat if I really can't hold off, but am thinking now I need to step away from those sticks and wait for AF. I have no symptoms the last few days at all! Boobs ate resolutely not sore!

I work with my mum so I see her everyday and we're very close however she told my gran and the rest is history. Needless to say I wasn't impressed and yes, wish I hadn't told anyone.

I'm now 19 dpo and have been spotting since last night. Got a bfn this morning though. Normally AF is in full flow within a couple of hours of the first few spots. Im still getting very light occasional twinges and cramps when normally I'd be in a lot of pain. I've been off the pill two and a half years and have been pretty regular but I've never timed until recently so I don't know how long my cycles are.

Hope you are all well

I think boy for me too just based on how different this pregnancy has been!

I think boy. I was wrong last time though!!

Hungry every time I read about you with two babies I picture two girls . I was right with Mrs so maybe I can just become the baby gender psychic for everyone on here!!!

Ooh Claude, 10dpo spotting sounds promising!! Yes wait til saturday and come and join my party!! It's shaping up to be a good one, statistically speaking one of us has to get a bfp surely!!
Ladies I really have been feeling quite sick today, but yet not off my food. Oh I really hope this is it and not just my body playing cruel tricks on me again. I hope it's not just the anticipation/stress making me feel ill, or the amount of coffee and chocolate I have eaten today It would just be so fantastically amazing to get a bfp, I'm trying not to get my hopes up though.
I hadn't wanted to tell my family I was ttc, does feel a bit strange basically discussing your sex life with your parents in fact I had wanted to leave it until about 10/12 weeks pg too to tell them, but we started talking about babies/careers the other day with my parents and when I started crying I sort of had to tell them then!!!

She was pleased re baby number 1, yes. But I'm sure she'll have an opinion on the small age gap, which is why I'll tell her by email. She can be very rude direct, so hopefully she'll compose herself before calling!

Ohhhh a poas party!! Exciting.

lucy they do sound like promising signs......fingers and toes crossed! I can so sympathise with the bad feeling, it's unshakable, the only consolation I can offer is so far my bad feeling has been wrong! Hopefully yours is too.

Ahhh hungry I know what you mean just wanting it over, your mind will be at rest soon. It's so long between finding out and having any tangible confirmation that there really is a healthy baby in there it's torture! A line is nice but it's not a scan. Hope your mum takes your news well. Was she pleased re number 1 baby?

Oh windy and donna I hope physio helps loads! Do you know when your appt will be windy?

That sounds so annoying willow I'd find it hard to bite my tongue with them if I were you!

Utopian, tomorrow or Sat are probably your best bet if implantation bleeding was on Monday.

In fact, I think you need to join in the POAS party on Sat! :-)

Willow, I personally think you're bonkers telling family you're TTC! I certainly don't share that kind of thing with my / DH's parents. Armchair experts are the worst!

Claude, you need to join Lucy's POAS party on Saturday, I think. Sounds like it'd be a good day for you to test again!

Lucy, sounds optimistic...bet you're willing Saturday to get here. :-)

Hello all, I think I've missed too much to name check everyone but donna sciatica is the worst -- I had a lot of pain with this for several weeks during my last pregnancy and ended up trying relexology in desperation. Not sure if it was a woo placebo effect or what but it made all the pain disappear. Amazing (but pricey).

I am about 10dpo I think. Yesterday morning early we dtd and afterwards I had some pink spotting . It was gone in 2/3 wipes and hasn't been back since. It's unusual for me and I don't think it's anything sinister because I just had a smear done and all was well. Not sure what to think but I did, ridiculously, do a test yesterday and OBVIOUSLY it was negative. I certainly don't feel at all pg.

Willowking, everyone is an expert, eh? Telling family as little as possible is the way to go

Just a quick message as am on my phone at work! Donna did you manage to get back to sleep ok you crazy lady?! What is bilateral sciatica? Glad you got some treatment for your aches and pains anyway! Windy sounds like you have a brilliant mw and good responses from your gp. Hope its not spd but at least youve got treatment in place if it is-how are you feeling today? Willow good luck with your multiple testings! How long are your cycles normally? Have you told your family you are ttc? Well i am 9dpo. Trying my hardest not to symptom spot but just for fun i would say i have been feeling a bit sick,usually around 11am for the past 3 days now,ive got a killer headache today and i keep waking up in the middle of the night for no reason! How is everyone else today?

willow I'm in sort of the same boat.. gave up bf 3 weeks ago and had pinky ness on Monday but nothing since. Have had no af since he was born so not sure if it comes back as normal and this could be implantation, or comes back v gradually. Have poas yesterday and bfn but is that too soon if it was implantation? Am using Internet cheapies so should I try something else just in case, or just wasting money?
