Oh kitty I'm absolutely gutted for you! :( massive hugs to you and please take care of yourself today. Get some comforts in for this evening and pamper yourself. Plenty DH hugs too. Come sit with me on March bus when your ready x

10dpo here today. Spotting seems to have stopped but bfn.

Sorry for everyone else's bfn's this morning. This bus has been extremely sad.

Spotti · 26/02/2014 07:53

So sorry Kitty. Glad to hear you DH is being supportive...and who cares about a Christmas baby...ok so you might be uncomfortable or spend some time around Christmas in hospital BUT you could end up with a super special little Christmas present :). Surely that makes up for any of the less appealing bits?

Sounds like a plan, toots! Going to have to take it easy today. Already in work and trying not to well up again. Mother Nature is pure evil - I have the worst AF pains than I have had in years. She can do one! Said to DH this morning after I had calmed down, *How do you feel about a Christmas baby" in case he wasn't keen and he said "Is it wise to waste time?" so I hugged him there and then! Maybe he just likes the DTD marathon Smile. I had only told my sister who lives 1hr30mins away so you have no idea how much it helps to write it all down and read your wonderful replies. Thank you Thanks

We should have a leaving party on friday and we can all go to the march bus together for those who arent yet on it.

I'll bring the chocolates x

missmrsmummy · 26/02/2014 07:12

Oh no kitty I've got tears in my eyes. So sorry (((hugs))) xxx

LittleMissSunshine33 · 26/02/2014 06:54

Oh no sorry Kitty Sad sending lots of virtual hugs (((hugs)))

I'm 12dpo two more to go BFN today. Roll on Friday!

katecupoftea · 26/02/2014 06:50

So sorry Kitty, I hope you're okay. You're doing the right thing taking some time. I look forward to seeing you on the March bus when you're feeling better

EmilyPinkOrBlue · 26/02/2014 06:49

Hi kitty I'm upset this morning too I poas and bfn 14dpo today so guess af will show today. Only my first Ttc but I thought it would happen straight away as I'm still young. Obvisouly not. Really not sure about trying for the next few months as not keen on a December/January baby but who knows might feel different when af out the way. I just can't believe that when I was younger I got pregnant from a broken condom and took the morning after pill and still ended up pregnant! How could that happen and I get pregnant yet this time not! It's not fair!!

toots123 · 26/02/2014 06:43

Kitty im so sorry. Sending you lots of hugs Thanks xx

Having a little cry. Got up to PIAC and wiped after..red blood. Tested negative. Little bean didn't stick. Will get my green Pom poms later for the March bus, but need to grieve a little for what I thought I had, first. Sad

Good luck for the last few days-need a BFP to cheer me up!

Thanks Kitty - we finally have a name sorted for him too and so all we need now is for him to arrive. I'm hoping he is the spitting image of DH. I made myself cry the other day just thinking about the birth -well I cry every time I think about it actually. It's looming very quickly and reality is starting to hit!!! Smile

That was so lovely to read, Writer, very excited on your behalf!

Writerwannabe83 · 25/02/2014 21:20

I'm good thanks MrsExtraOrdinary Smile

Well, I'm ridiculously huge and uncomfortable but apart from that I'm staying chirpy!!! Baby is growing at a ridiculous speed!!! I have to have growth scans every 4 weeks and all his measurements (head, legs, abdomen) are plotted on graphs and he is sitting above the 99th percentile for all three!! I was last scanned just over 3 weeks ago and he is already over 1.5lbs heavier than they'd expect him to be!! I'm being scanned again this Thursday so am anticipating further growth, I've joked to DH that I'm g0oing to request they C-section me there and then Grin There's just no more room for him and his movements are sooo painful!! But, I'm counting down the days until his arrival now and getting very excited!! Smile

toots123 · 25/02/2014 21:12

Evening ladies!

Hope everyone is well!
im cd46 and nothing at all happening except some light cramps. Wondering when I should think about going to the gp! Frers are on the way so hoping for a bfp this weekend hut obviously not hopeful!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 25/02/2014 21:06

Writer how are you doing? Smile

Writerwannabe83 · 25/02/2014 20:49

honestly I'm the weirdo that approaches the man with the clipboard to fill in a survey

Grin Grin

I once made this mistake but only because the guy was EXTREMELY sexy!! Before I knew it I'd signed some paperwork to pay £25 a month to his Charity - when I walked away from him I realised that I didn't even understand the Charity, he completely took advantage of me being besotted Grin It took me about 6 months to build up the courage to ring them and cancel my direct debit Grin

I read on Google, (I know I should stay away from it!) that these pains, too far away from ovulation, means that the uterus is stretching to help aid implantation, kate. As long as they are not prolonged and constant, i.e not stop hurting, they are Good signs!

katecupoftea · 25/02/2014 20:36

kitty I've been getting that but on the right!

RhiBee29 · 25/02/2014 20:32

writer I think just actually telling another person will make it seem real! Thanks for letting me know what to expect though, don't have a clue! I do love filling in forms so quite looking forward to the paperwork, honestly I'm the weirdo that approaches the man with the clipboard to fill in a survey Blush

KittyVonCatsington · 25/02/2014 20:29

I've been having sharp pains (mainly on the left as I ovulated on the left this cycle, but there have been some on the right) that make me take a sharp intake of breath. Is that the same as you, kate?

I still think that ever pregnancy test is different and we probably get more false negatives than we should. Keep testing until AF arrives (like me!!!) and you never know Wink

Writerwannabe83 · 25/02/2014 20:14

RhiBee - don't get too excited about seeing the GP - they don't confirm anything. They just tell you to book in and see the midwife - in fact in a lot of GP surgeries you go direct to the midwife and bypass the GP altogether. If you do see a GP however they are usually pretty much happy to take your word for it. When I saw mine she just said congratulations, gave me a pack about pregnancy and told me to wait and hear from the midwife. I think my appointment came through about 10 days later but she didn't do anything to 'confirm it' either - just lots of paperwork.

Writerwannabe83 · 25/02/2014 20:11

God this bus is frustrating - why aren't these BFP's appearing for you all!! The suspense is unbearable!!! Grin

I think this is the most confusing bus I have ever ridden.....

RhiBee29 · 25/02/2014 20:07

spotti had lines on 10 and 12dpo with ic but they were so faint thought they were evap lines. Got a bfp last night on a clear blue, off to no mistaking it! Off to Dr for confirmation tomoro.

katecupoftea · 25/02/2014 19:54

Nope, no extra lines! Only that original one on the IC that is probably an evap line.

Spotti if I had the willpower I would have got less ICs and instead another frer as I've ended up getting both anyway!

emily sorry about the BFN. But remember - it isn't over until the pink lady bleeds!

mama31 · 25/02/2014 19:47

Sorry for the bfn's ladies, so annoying! We could do with some good news on here.
