Omg congratulations!!!

Bus is officially picking up speed again, 2bfps in 2 days!!!

Who's testing next? X

misstiggiwinkle · 27/01/2014 07:54

And congratulations to all the bfp's!

misstiggiwinkle · 27/01/2014 07:53

That's it. I'm officially late! No tests in the house and promised DH I wouldn't poas until we were both at home tonight so no doubt the test I pick up at lunchtime will be burning a red hot hole in my handbag all day. AGHHHHGH I don't know if I can wait!

Did anyone else get 'the fear' as soon as they knew they were late? I can't decide if I'm super excited or just bloody terrified even though we have been ttc and I know that all I want is a bfp - too many years trying not to I assume, now it might actually be happening. A bundle of emotions todaySmile

Yay Congratulations bump and AishaGrin

Writer, your shopping trip sounds fab, sounds like you've had a good spend! So exciting, not long nowGrin

bumpbangbump · 27/01/2014 07:13

Thanks girls.

DTD cd7,9,10,12,14 followed the koala plan, at least the cycling part, for the last 3 of those.

Can't believe I've been so lucky on cycle 2. I didn't temp or po opks so I don't know what day po I am. CD 27 today and I've had 25 day cycles for 2 months!

I really hope we see a couple more positives before the month is out. Come on ladies poas!!!

LittleMissSunshine33 · 27/01/2014 07:02

Yay congratulations!! What a lovely start to the week! Stats?!! What dpo are you?

Writerwannabe83 · 27/01/2014 07:00

Brilliant news!!! Congratulations!!!! Grin x x x

bumpbangbump · 27/01/2014 06:39

Well I couldn't wait another couple of day so I'm currently looking at 2 lines on my frer... and the three minutes wait isn't even up!!!!!

BFP Grin

Thanks for being there ladies you have kept me a nice combo of sane and crazy!!!

bellaboo88 · 26/01/2014 23:24

Congrats Aisha!

We need to know all the details!! Do, koala plan etc!

Was praying for spotting today, had a tiny bit of left hand side acheyness.

Boobs don't hurt like last month tho. I'd rather they did, give me something to obsess over!

Sorry you're still in limbo ginger :-( what are you doing I.e temping, poking etc?

Aisha18 · 26/01/2014 21:16

Thanks everyone! I told DH about 1 minute after I did the test, even though we were at his parents and had to whisper in a different language so it stayed a secret! I couldn't wait for a more romantic/private moment to tell him.

Good luck bump...I was also so scared to poas, but at some point it will be a BFP so I hope this month is yours!

bumpbangbump · 26/01/2014 19:06

I guess I might tomorrow. Basically, we're skint until payday, January is filled with sodding birthdays and for some reason my work pays me my December's pay on about 19th december. So I have only one test left and I want it to count as really can't buy more til Friday.

Also, although the last two months have been 25 day cycles, previous to that I was stable at 27 days. Of I'm reverting to form then I might possibly be due Tuesday not today!

Anyway, I'm scared of a bfn and I guess the waiting is my way of avoiding it!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 26/01/2014 18:54

Ahhh sounds lovely Writer!!
Congrats Aisha!! Knew yours would be a BFP! Have you told DH?
Sorry AF got you Northern, I feel like she's on her way here too Hmm! Bitch!

Congrats aisha!!

Writerwannabe83 · 26/01/2014 18:18

Congratulations Aisha - brilliant news Smile

Good luck next month Northernlass Smile

bumpbangbump · 26/01/2014 18:16

I love Winnie the pooh! God I love shopping for tiny people.

Soi want to ask about symptoms... I came over all faint earlier, never happened before, not something that happened in last pregnancy wither. Is this a symptom? I am due on today. No sign of the bitch witch but sick feeling wasn't really present today so now confused.

Help?

Aisha18 · 26/01/2014 18:13

*Shopping list

Aisha18 · 26/01/2014 18:13

Oh and writer, I loved reading your shipping list!! So exciting. I need several months to get my head round the ideal of needing things like breast pads etc! So exciting for you to have all the gear now Smile

northernlass81 · 26/01/2014 18:11

I'm out too. AF arrived yesterday, 3 days late. At least I know now and the waiting was driving me crazy as never late before! Feb bus now here I come .......

Aisha18 · 26/01/2014 18:11

I've just caught up on the day's posts, so sorry that AF came for you Christmas, Owile and Wineandchoccy. I poas last night...got home and was compelled to go straight to the bathroom and test...I couldn't resist. And BFP GrinGrinGrin!! I'm pregnant. I can't believe it. It's such a strange idea, I actually can't grasp the concept yet. I really thought it wasn't going to happen for me, stupid I know only on cycle 4 but it just seemed unobtainable somehow. Anyway the (mini) bus is still going so good luck to all those still riding...let's get down more BFPs. Smile Thanks all for support and entertainment all month, I don't post v much as try to not become obsessed! But I read a lot and was such a big help last 4 months to know we all more or less feel the same, with many of same highs and lows. Really nice to have girls supporting each other Smile.

Writerwannabe83 · 26/01/2014 17:56

English - we bought everything the shop had to offer Grin

Crib, crib mattress and all crib bedding.
Mattress for his Nursery cot.
Moses Basket and bedding, and a Sleep Suit.
Blankets for his pushchair and lots of Muslin cloths.
Travel Cot/Play Pen.
Vibrating bouncy chair and Jungle play mat.
Nappy changing mats with top'n'tail bowl.
Winnie the Pooh mobile for his cot and night light for the nursery.
Baby Monitors.
Sterilisers/bottles/bottle brushes.
Breast Pump/Breast Milk storage bags and Breast Pads.

We also chose the Pram/Pushchair Travel System we want but will be ordering it online as it's about £40 cheaper that way.

It's all coming together nicely now. We had ordered lots of Winnie the Pooh Wall Transfers and now we have put them up the nursery looks just lovely. All the furniture has been built, we have a Winnie the Pooh lightshade and our Winnie the Pooh curtains are being delivered next week Smile

LittleMissSunshine33 · 26/01/2014 17:34

4 days left but think I can feel AF dull ache swooping in! I hope not as then all the "symptoms" I have had were all in my mind ... Then I'm officially crazy rather than just baby bubble crazy!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 26/01/2014 17:17

Ahhh what did you get writer? I cant wait til i'm in the same boat... spending loads of baby stuff! Must be lovely now it's all coming together!

I was so hoping to log on this evening and find some BFP's - it seemed like there were BFP's everywhere a few days ago??! Sorry to all those who have had to hop over to the February Bus but I wish you lots of luck on your next cycle Smile

I've just got back from Kiddicare - we were shopping for over 2 hours!!! I'm knackered and £400 worse off but it's made everything so much more real. Quite scary actually.
