The Pregvember bus- With Frolic dog as our mascot and ov dance lessons we can all get our BFPs (Thread 3)

dozy you're permitted to have tests from 12months. Its a fertility clinic referral you can't get until 24months.

Congrats to the bfps! Sorry af got u orange

beautician, you are my cycle buddy :-) 7dpo here too (although app says 8, I'm sure its wrong). My imaginary symptoms are heavy boobs and nausea. I'm sure I'm bulging out of my sports bra when I put it on this morning too. 7dpo is too early for real symptoms tho isn't it?!

Well I've been to the doctors about the spotting pre AF arriving and as expected they fobbed me off. I lied and said I'd been trying for 9 months as that is when I came off the pill but wish I'd said a year now. He said they don't even look into things until 18 months to 24 months anyway! Anyway he reckons it's down to the infection I had so I've to have a swab done and then go from there. I don't agree with him at all though because I've had the spotting since coming off the pill and I didn't have an infection then so how do u explain that? Why is it such a hardship for them to just take some bloods off me and put our minds at rest? It makes no sense.

dozy, NCT is national childbirth trust. They run fantastic antenatal courses which basically get you ready for labour and birth, explaining what happens and how you can deal with it - drugs or otherwise. It's great for meeting parents to be in the same area as you and due around the same time as you so you're building a nice network of friends. We've been good friends - well, some of us - since we met and now as we approach our third anniversary of meeting. The courses (run either over so to eight weeks in the evening or over two weekends) might look pricey but I'd say they're well worth the cost - believe me, people tell you all about labour and birth but their tales are often horrific and personal to them so IMO, NCT is much better prep for reality!

WantToGoingTo i'm guessing 18th July!

Ladies, please don't give up. It took me 18 months to fall with DS and 4 years with DD. It's been 4 months this time round and I have been very fortunate considering my progesterone levels were so bad shit

I am hoping this one will be sticky, but just sending the message-

Never give up! xx

Congratulations Number

Cariad sorry you feel so down. I hope you get a sticky BFP very soon. If it doesn't happen this month then having a break over Christmas and getting merry may do you the world of good.

Orange sorry the witch got you.

Well 7dpo here. So far my imaginary symptoms are hunger, extreme fatigue, peeing lots and ahem wind. However, quite a few I get just before AF. I guess as I think I'm 7dpo last nights spotting could have been implantation but I've never had it before.

Congrats number!!
Sorry AF is here Orange...
And cariad it will happen, keep positive! :)

cariad x

Thanks Spinning - I would like nothing better than an early January BFP.

Thanks Dozy. When I first embarked on my ttc journey, I naively assumed that I'd be off on mat leave at the same time as lots of my friends. I'm now realising that despite my best efforts that's not going to happen. I just can't help but feel that the whole world is moving on and that DH and I are being left behind. I'm just clinging onto the hope that we will get there in the end and that it won't be like this forever.

Number, Congratulations

Cariad, sending hugs to you, milestones such as scans are tough. Don't feel like a failure, you are not. Fx the new year will be your time for a sticky bfp

Frolic, yep I'm back in the saddle or will be when dps in the mood! He's stressed at the moment but we go on holiday a week tomorrow so I'm hoping ov stays away until then

Gosh cariad that must make it so much harder having your best friend due at the same time because it would have been so lovely to have had the babies together. There is still hope for u yet tho. Hope acupuncture goes well for u and helps u to relax.

Congrats number! Another grad to come join us on the so due in July thread! Eek when is your due date?

Congrats Number - that's awesome news!

Loving the thought of twins Broody.

It was me and not Spinning who is planning to take a break next cycle Frolic! After what happened last time (and the need for surgery), I don't feel I can risk being 5 weeks over Christmas.

Today would have been my 12 week scan, at 10.45am so am feeling a little blue. My BFF (who is due the day after I would have been has hers tomorrow - she had a scan last week but they realised that her dates were out and that it was too early, hence the need for another one). Still struggling to shake off the feeling that I'm a complete failure, but I have acupuncture later on, which I hope will leave me in better spirits.

7dpo and I have no symptoms at all other than extreme hunger and tiredness. I've never had these with my two other BFPs so can only assume that theses are weather as opposed to pregnancy induced!

What's NCT broody? That's great that u could share your news too.

Congrats number3!

Congratulations number nice strong bfp.

Fantastic news number!!!!! Yeeeeeeeeha!!!

Found out last night one of my NCT friends is upduffed, due late May.......... With TWINS!!! She text me before she emailed out to all of our NCT friends, bless her, and said she hoped she wasn't being insensitive about the announcement and that she's hoping I'm ok and that she's still very sad for my loss. It was so sweet of her. I did of course then have to tell her I got a bfp (first time I've actually typed that!! Eeeek!!) and she was so delighted. I had a vivid dream about twins myself the other night....

Morning!

number have you done another FRER this morning?

I'm 6dpo and feel shattered. Though my prego-meter is flashing 'symptom!' I think it's much more likely that it's my toddler's 5am starts 3 days in a row.... Zzzzz.

Morning, yes! Much clearer today woohoo!! Thank you so much ladies for your crossed fingers overnight for me. I hope this is a sticky little bean xx (ps, cheap ebay still saying negative!!)

Good morning!
Sorry AF has arrived orange. Yey to her hasty departure spinning. Is it back in the saddle time? Or did you say you were having a break next cycle? Or was that cariad? I'm not good at keeping up!

Loads of strange and vivid dreams for me last night. Octopus' featured pretty heavily . Vivid dreams are usually a sign that AF is on her way for me. But my temp is still high, so who knows! I just wish o had some symptoms to give me hope.

I hope you all have a good day.

Sorry! So many typos! FRER not free! And af not after! Sausage fingers

Morning ladies! Any news number? Sorry to all those affected got.

Sadly that includes me this morning . Am oddly relieved though after spending two days in limbo when after cramps started Monday but then I had no proper bleeding, just a pinkish stain on tissue (tmi!). Usually I don't get cramps until after actually arrives. After being devastated on Monday, I was starting to get my hopes up again yesterday so did a free for my sanity. Bfn so am glad af did arrive today as I thought my cycles were going to shit again! At least now I know I ov'd when I thought and we timed dtd right!

Will run to catch the Dec bus now, but will likely lurk here to keep up with the news. Best of luck to you all for loads of bfp's xx

Morning ladies, a quick hello to you all congrats to those with promising lines. Sorry, no time for a proper catch up this morning.

Thank you spinning, still no temp rise and a positive opk again on cd20. Hoping it just hasn't happened yet but it wouldn't leave me much time for implantation.

Morning all!

Thanks for well wishes re; blood results. Will post later.

toots sounds like ov symptoms.. Could you be ov'ing late if you have been ill?

lordy I did try them a couple of times, maybe I will try again! Thanks for reminding me of them :-)

Congratulations number, I see a line on my phone x
Temp up again argh, ttc is such an emotional roller coaster.
missmrs have you tried softcups? They keep everything from escaping, so you can wee :) I've not had a uti since using them.
