Looks pretty clear to me MrsD!

doomkittycleo · 08/02/2015 12:07

Thanks for all of the warm welcomes everyone. I'm now 7 dpo and trying not to symptom spot. I have a little bit of pain in my left breast and am slightly nauseous this morning, but I did have a couple of drinks last night so could be nauseous cus of that. Confused

MrsD14 · 08/02/2015 11:12

Argh lost my post! How annoying! I am very sure we'll all get our BFPs super soon! Sod's law is a powerful force Pixa Wink and welcome doom - glad the Mothercare and Mammas and papas thing isn't just me!

I tested again this morning - faint line, little stronger than yesterday but still faint but DH and I think it's there... What do you reckon ladies? I'm on CD 31 cycle is usually 28 days but has been up to 35 on random occasions! Won't test again until at least mid-week - trying not to get hopes too high just yet! Confused fingers crossed for all of you! Smile

We will indeed pixa :)

Pixa · 08/02/2015 09:52

Oh, Night, I feel for you. Cake We will get our BFPs soon.

nightandthelight · 08/02/2015 09:39

Same pixa Although I have two weeks to go :(

Pixa · 08/02/2015 09:31

Awful phone! I am bored of waiting now, I just want the AF to show up so I can hurry up and start on the next cycle. Still about a week to go though!

Pixa · 08/02/2015 09:30

Haha! The law of sod is a wonderful thing. Smile Thanks night.

I am bored of waiting now

nightandthelight · 08/02/2015 09:28

It is a difficult one pixa but I do agree with your DH. If for no other reason than it might invoke the law of sod! You can always drink mocktails :)

Pixa · 08/02/2015 09:16

night yes, with lots of other activities which pregnant women can't d! DH thinks I am forward planning too much and I should just go... He thinks even if we were to be pregnant I could still go and just not drink.

nightandthelight · 08/02/2015 09:10

Welcome doom :) my friend recently had a baby which gave me a great excuse to go round Mothercare :)

Pixa is it a classic going out and getting slaughtered hen do?

Pixa · 08/02/2015 08:58

Hope all is well Mrs.

doom, everyone a friend has a baby and we have to buy a baby gift, we spend a little bit too long in the shops looking for baby items. I love it. I torture myself by already reading the different books about pregnancy and ttc.

I have been invited to a rather big hen weekend, which I would love to go on, but it's towards the end of the year and as we have been trying for five months, I am really hoping I will be thoroughly pregnant by then. What would you all do?

doomkittycleo · 07/02/2015 17:46

Hi, I'm 27, just off microgynon and this is my first month of trying. I am like most of you, trying really hard not to symptom spot. Even been walking around toysrus and mamma's and pappa's today (either torturing myself or trying to get used to the idea of a Baby) felt a bit silly tbh. Hope I don't have to wait too long for a bfp.

nightandthelight · 07/02/2015 07:58

Eek Mrs that is so exciting! Can't wait for an update :) All well here although very dull waiting for this cycle to be over!

MrsD14 · 07/02/2015 07:40

Hello Mad! #2 - how exciting! Brave lady on the gap - would be so nice for your DCs when they're older though. ohwool hope the voice is OK!

So, ladies - tested this morning (FMU, cheapie pound land test) and think I got the faintest of faint lines!! Wouldn't show on a pic but am absolutely completely over excitedly quietly and patiently waiting to test again tomorrow. Smile How's everyone else doing?

nightandthelight · 07/02/2015 07:30

Welcome Mad I guess that there are pros and cons to them being so close in age :)

Madratlady · 06/02/2015 21:05

Hi I'm 24 ttc#2, DS1 is 14 months, I do wonder if I might be crazy going for barely 2 years age gap but we will see...

nightandthelight · 04/02/2015 13:33

Sexy nasal voice could be beneficial for TTC Ohwool! It is great to have people to go through this with and will he so exciting when the bfbfps start coming through!

Ohwoolballs · 04/02/2015 13:30

Nightandthelight and Pixa sorry that you've been feeling all manky, I realised I've had a cold so long that in used to the snot and sexy nasal voice.

Chuffed to bits we are all in the same boat of waiting. FX for us all that the end of the month brings us some BFPs and less hankys!

MrsD14 · 04/02/2015 09:09

Thanks night! You are (of course) absolutely right - trying to be sensible! Fx for everyone - and will def let you know how mine goes!

nightandthelight · 04/02/2015 09:04

Fx for your bfp Mrs! If you can hold off till the weekend then that will make the result more accurate and potentially avoid some of the confusion I have seen with people who tested early :) let us know how it goes!

MrsD14 · 04/02/2015 08:59

Hello! May I join you? I'm 27, married last year TTC #1 since the start of Oct (when I had Mirena removed). Symptom spotting like crazy!! AF due tomorrow (probably - not super regular), does anyone else have really obvious veins on their eyelids? Never had that before... Also on my boobs but less so... DH thinks it's a "sign" but not sure I want to get my hopes up! Going to try not to test until the weekend Confused so impatient!

nightandthelight · 04/02/2015 08:41

It sucks doesn't it pixa you get so excited about being able to try and then it gets ripped away from you. Really hope that you are feeling better!? Fx for both of us for March, we need some good luck Smile

Pixa · 04/02/2015 08:36

Stupid phone! Nightandthelight, I feel your pain. I am also out this month due to illness. Kidney infection which was right about ovulation! Fingers crossed for a bfp in March. X
