I thought I'd start a thread for all those who will be starting out TTC this month, I'd be interested to see how other people get on, tips, moral support etc. We'll be starting TTC at the weekend!!
Please join me!

Right that's it! I just did one of my tests and it's a strong BFP! I neeeed to stop testing now Confused but I have another one here and 12 in the post. Think il have to get someone to take them off me before I'm certified insane.

Ducky23 · 22/04/2014 09:19

Before I loved pot noodles I could live on them but when I was pregnant even the thought of them made me heave!!! Confused I just had salt and vinigar sticks for breakfast. Haha.

Were you tracking ov in any way cupcake?

I just went And brougt another 2 first responses and a clear blue. I must have done in excess of 50 tests this month, no wonder I'm so bloody broke!

BearsInMotion · 22/04/2014 09:08

Mine was pot noodles Easter Blush

Cupcake92 · 22/04/2014 09:03

I'm eating orange chocolate segments , tesco ones haha! I'm proper craving melon tho! Oooo would love some melon!
When I was pg with DS I had a huge craving for pears n it was all I'd eat :p

BearsInMotion · 22/04/2014 08:57

Not tested again, trying to hold off but it's really tempting! I thought it was so unlikely I was pg after getting that bfn on Sunday I'm trying not to get my hopes up. But I've had no symptoms of either AF or pg!

:( Ducky, I can understand how he feels.

Am currently at a garage waiting for my car to be serviced and eating chocolate - I don't know whether to blame PMT or pregnancy :)

Cupcake92 · 22/04/2014 08:48

I know I'm not out till AF shows lol :p just can't get myself down as I know it'll happen when it happens. On my apps IPeriod it says I'm due tomorrow but on FF it says I'm due Friday ? :s i don't understand this. Cuz I as a period just before having implant out then period continued as the widthdrawal bleed happened straight after. It's all strange hahaa let's hope AF doesn't show for my holiday at least! I'd like to go swimming!
I only watch obem so I can see peoples birth stories and plans etc, I look for the VBAC ones see if I can do what they do and give birth naturally next time

Ducky23 · 22/04/2014 08:33

And DH won't let me watch obem :-( he doesn't like it cus of what happened last time I gave birth Hmm

Ducky23 · 22/04/2014 08:32

Cupcake I was doin some reading last night about when implantation happens and stuff and it was saying that implantation can take longer in some people that's why some people get really early BFP's and some don't come until after AF was due so don't give up hope yet Smile like I said I know someone who was 2 weeks late and only then did they get a faint BFP. Fingers crossed for you all!

Cupcake92 · 22/04/2014 08:22

Couldn't help it and tested with FMU and got bfn
Starting to think I may not be pregnant this month :/
Just these symptoms have thrown me

elcarmen2010 · 22/04/2014 08:14

I was desperate to watch OBEM last night but DH thought it would be too upsetting for me. I think he was right.... Promised myself I won't test today. We'll see how that goes!!
If I'm not pregnant this month then I will never trust my body again! That's what I've decided.
Have a good day Xx

Cupcake92 · 22/04/2014 08:06

Sounds like a lovely labour! :D good that AF hadn't arrived yet! Mines due tomorrow.
Have u tested?

BearsInMotion · 22/04/2014 07:53

Ha, we watched OBEM recently and I felt exactly the same! I had an epidural with DD so slept through a lot of labour, it was much easier than I thought it would be! Always said if I did it again I'd hope it was exactly the same!

Still no sign of AF Easter Confused

Cupcake92 · 22/04/2014 07:52

TMI I know but I've had very watery cm and very slightly creamy also but it's very watery no idea what this mean or if it means AF Is about to jump on me.
Tempted to test again but I dunno :/ holding my FMU in deciding what to do!

alizeeod · 22/04/2014 07:42

I don't think I want to watch One Born in the coming months, the women are clearly in agony and since I've never given birth before I don't want to get even more anxious!
Fingers crossed for our tests this weekend! I'm full of symptoms but who knows, could be all in my head...! x

Cupcake92 · 22/04/2014 07:14

OMG sounds EXACTLY like my DH!!
Trust me on this one, it's cuz they are scared, they are nervous about how they will be as a dad. They don't know exactly what's going to happen. My DH told me (eventually) he was terrified and wasn't sure he would know what to do etc n then said that once DS was here it was completely different and he said he just knew what to do and said he relaxed and wasn't so scared about future etc.

Don't worry about it he'll soon realise :)
I'm just watching last nights one born every minute and I don't care how painful it all was I so wanna do it all again !! So bad!!! :(

Hopefully we'll have weekend bfp's :)

alizeeod · 22/04/2014 07:01

Sunday. And thanks for your message. We've made up but I feel like such a cow for nagging at him about being on his PS4 all day and drinking cider in the morning, but in a way I think I have a point. He just seems to feel unhappy and says I'm trying to "change him", which I'm really not! I guess I just want him to have more wholesome, grown up hobbies, he's nearly 30 ffs!!! Envy

Cupcake92 · 22/04/2014 06:37

Ali , me and my DH were like that whilst I was pregnant as he sat on his ps3 allllll night and chatted to friends on their etc and we argued constantly and I said he needs to grow up etc. When DS was born the first few weeks he nearly left me and DS as he realised he wasn't mature enough, but he left for a day came back and was completely changed honestly! He's such a great dad now and NEVER goes on his ps3!! He COOKS us dinner instead! :O having a baby completely matured him it was crazy so there is hope :)

I'm now leaving testing till Friday how bout u?

alizeeod · 22/04/2014 04:01

Morning ladies! I'm back to work today after nearly 2 weeks off... DP and I had a row just before bed last night about how I think his fondness of alcohol and video games aren't a great sign he's mature enough to be a dad etc, we went to bed angry which never happens! (He's still asleep).
Gosh - relationships are so stressful sometimes and I'm nervous having a baby will only add more stress but I think it's too late to chicken out now because I really feel pregnant!!!

Who is testing this week and what day? I'll be testing Sunday. Hope everyone has a great day x

Cupcake92 · 22/04/2014 01:42

I'm so tired lol

looking4rainbow · 21/04/2014 23:00

Welcome Elcarmen. Sorry to hear about chemical. I will be 11dpo tomorrow so will test too. (Knowing it's probably too early) I have 3 tests left. When I got my bfp last time I then went out and bought more expensive just to confirm hehe! So yes very expensive time.

Would forget about it though if I had a bfp
Fx for everyone

Ducky23 · 21/04/2014 22:09

Ohhh cupcake! Sounds like it's all go! Confused

Cupcake92 · 21/04/2014 21:40

Relaxing is a something I can't do for the next month lol! We have so much painting to do in our flat and have to have it done by Thursday :O landlord wants us to put it all back to magnolia, so got lounge, bedroom, hall and babys room to do for Thursday. As we now finally have our house so have to pack as well! All this with an 8 month old who's at the age of wanting lots of attention. It's hard work!
