All aboard for a positive August part two

Thats a nice why to put it.

And think it is fantasic that you are willing to donate your eggs.

Really hope you fear your baby less and sorry to hear you feel this way but can understand that it must be very daunting but am sure you will be fine .

Sorry to hear about AF Pendulum.
It's a blimin' pain isn't it?

Manuka....give it time and less pressure and you'll bond with your dd and be less frightened of her. Maybe it'll be easier when she's a little bit bigger. Newborns with floppy necks scare me witless and then after a few months I'm fine!!
I had my ds last June but he died just before being born sadly.
We have been trying for another since and tried accupunture and reflexology before that but nothing yet.......

Sorry to hear that pendulum. It will happen though. I believe that it isn't the woman who 'wants' a child its the soul of the child to come thats already near and making the woman 'feel' she 'wants' a child. hope that makes sence! I had my baby 7 weeks ago. the longest 7 weeks of my life! I hope I get over this fear soon.
Make sure you're getting plenty of zinc in your diet, thats meant to help fertility. I heartily recommend reflexology and accupuncture for clearing the way to conception too. Worked for me anyway!and reiki, thats really good. Sounds mad but if you hold the intention of being open to receive the child in your womb, you'l bring it in. Try it, nothing to lose! I'm holding the intention of not allowing anyone in my womb ever again! I am closed for business!! Looking into donating my eggs wonder if there's anything on mumsnet? GOOD LUCK and let me know as soon as you get your good news! It will happen.

hi all
manuka and coggy, thanks again for input. Sorry to hear about your traumatic birth, manuka. How long ago was that?

Unfortunately I think I've come on today, a bit of a surprise as only 10 dpo according my my temp chart!

looks like I'll be seeing you on September thread- hey ho.

Coggy! Sorry I don't have a brain! Its pendulum doing the test!! I hope she gets results she wants!!
Do you have babies yet? if so how many? I was meant to have ivf cos hormones so bonkers but had reflexology and healing and that got me preggers which saved a few pence!!!

Coggy - yes had awful birth! induced then emergency section and when they'd got her out the anaesthetic wore off but they ignored me when I was telling them it hurt!!! So went into shock and felt huge fear of her for ages. lot better now but woke up this morning feeling fear again. just have to force myself to do things for her. she is a lovely peaceful soul luckily but the whole mum thing scares the life out of me!!
Did you do a test??! Is it good news?!

Pendulum, my symptoms were so like af. Really sore and incredibly heavy boobs, a little snappy, and pretty tired. Also thought I had ov pains about a week ago, even though opk test said I had ov'd a week before that! Must of been stretching pain.

Fingers crossed for you. xx

Pendulum... have following symptoms...

Obv. no af...lol
MEGA sore boobs. DH almost got punched the other day when he touched them
stretchy feeling in abdomen
Sooo tired and cant sleep on tummy anymore
Weeing like a kid being toilet trained
Waking up at odd hours
Bit moody

Congrats SOL! Wow... 2 last min bfp's on august at last minute! I think it will carry on iton september!!!

congrats SOL really happy for you best of luck to you and your dh xx

Did you have a bad experience then Manuka?
How old is your db?

All I know is a lot of medical companies get away with making false claims. it really is a law unto itself. The best way is to try not to drink anything after 8pm so your urine is as concentrated as possible. It does make a difference especially if you have an excellent liver/kidneys which are very efficient at breaking things down.

I would HATE to be pregnant!! One is enough for me! If it wasn't for the general anaesthetic I'd be straight down to hospital for sterilisation!! I think you're very brave!!

pendulum...they do.
Some of them detect lesser amounts of hcg than others so making them more 'sensitive'.

Peachy had a webpage.
Do a google search and you can compare the levels on most brands.

The lower the amount the more sensitive the test is.

thanks manuka,
I htought that some of them detected lower levels of hormone and this is how they justified being more expensive. Is your sister's view that that is a load of tosh?

All the tests are the same. Its how concentrated your hcg is in your wee that'l make a difference. Don't drink too much the night before you do your test.Drinking loads of water can result in a negative test. That's not nonsence my sis is a paediatrician with 4 kids, it was her advice. I have just had first baby and am so impressed by women who are brave enough to have a second one!! I'm far too terrified to go through all the birth thing again!

Sexonlegs and WantAbabyNOW that's wonderful news, feel over the moon for you both! ALL the best for you both!

Wantababy and SOL, I am soooo happy for you both. How do you feel physically- any early symptoms yet? This is such a great time of year to be newly pg IMO (this is exactly when I conceived DD three years ago)

I really hope I wil be catching up with you soon on the ante-natal threads. I stupidly did a test yesterday on the spur of the moment even though I knew from my temp chart that it was far too early, and of course got a bfn. According to the chart I should be due around Wednesday, so will force myself to wait until then (or will shell out on a more expensive test) I know the subject has been done to death but can anyone remind me which test is the most sensitive/ best for early tests?

Excellent news SOL we all knew you were but guess you just need that extra confirmation come AF arrival day.

Really please for you, and sex only 3 times, gives me hope on the months when i can't be bothered. LOL

Anyway big congrats from me

Wow, many congrats wantababynow!!! You have what you asked for!!
Any news from Pendulum, Angsthase and Aprilmeadow?

Well, I caved in and tested again yesterday with a Boots test, and..... BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am soooo happy, and really cannot believe it. Bobblehead, you are right. I just wanted to ensure that af didn't turn up, but, a line is a line, or with the Boots test, it was the magic cross that appeared and confirmed it all.

I can only put it down to using preseed this month, as bd'd in the usual manner, but only 3 times!! 2 days before ov, day of ov, and 2 days after ov. Couldn't be arsed the rest of the time, amd dh was away quite a bit.

I would really like to thank everyone for their support on here; I feel I have made some really special cyber friends, and will continue to check up on you all. Will have even more time on here now that BB has finished - boo hoo!

Lots of love and luck to each and every one of you special ladies, and fingers crossed for you.

Just when you thought August was pretty much over.........

Good morning to everyone! I am copying my post from the clomid gang thread... I am feeling a bit lazy!

I am not going to be counting cd days anymore. Was up to cd 85 yesterday and could not stay off the loo so decided to test a day early. and............ EBFP!!!!!!!!!!!

New term--- enormous big fat positive.

It was great using the clear blue digital as I would have been stressed out about the lines. Could not believe it though! Was crying my eyes out and phoned dh and said' hi daddy'. He did not believe it either.

Spent yesterday on the phone to the hospital trying to find out if I should continue metformin and trying to find my medicare card.. which dh had all along. Saw my gp yesterday and she confirmed everything. Am approx one month, so 9 to go! Will be going back to the gp on Mon or Tues. I think will be having an ultrasound in 2 weeks also to test for down sydrome.

I AM SO EXCITED! If I can get a bfp after no period for god knows how long, then you will all get yours I am sure.

I have had that stretching feeling also. I guess it wasnt ov pains the other week after all. I was even pg when I had that horrible smear test done, even though the day after it showed up bfn.

Wow. I have no idea what I am doing! LMAO

Baby dust and my very best wishes to all you wonderful ladies!

no surprises, bfn. here's to September!!!

Who am I trying to kid, I'm off to buy a pregnancy test, I'm pretty sure it'll be bfn, but at least it will mean I won't have a full night of having to have the maybe I am, no your not, conversation with myself.

just want to wish all those still waiting good luck, and sol great a line is a line congrats

Hi

Sorry I haven't had time to post anything.

Really pleased SOL - thats such good news.

Sorry Coggy, lots of luck for next month, I'm sure I'll be joining the September thread any time today.

Ansthase, Aprilmeadow and Timeforanother - good luck to you all.

I was due af yesterday and still not come on but all signs of af coming are here so really not hoping for anything. If nothing here by tomorrow will do a cheapo test. No nausea or any other pregnant type symptoms at all.
