Looking for a Mum-to-be to buddy up! I'm TTC number 1 and not had any luck so far, having a couple of months off before we start trying again. x

Ooh Sarah keeping fingers and toes crossed for you!

I think they're kicking in but I'm still cramping like mad :(

sarah1391 · 19/05/2015 13:51

Thanks newbie...i'm not really holding out much hope, i think maybe my body is being weird still after being on the pill for so long

brooke glad you got anti biotics :) hopefully everything will be ok now :)

firsttimenewbie · 19/05/2015 13:48

Ah good luck sarah! Let us know how you get on.

Are the antibs kicking in yet brooke?

sarah1391 · 19/05/2015 11:09

Morning everyone :)

Havent had a chance to read back yet. No sign of AF but i keep panicking every time i pee haha going to do a frer tonight...

Brooke113 · 19/05/2015 09:33

Ooh Issie feeling nauseous is a positive sign too :) Fx for you.

I'm still running to the loo every 10 minutes thinking Af is coming as that's what the cramps feel like. Fx it stays away for everyone :)

Issie339 · 19/05/2015 08:13

Morning, still no sign of AF for me (yey!) and feeling quite nauseous this morning- probably doesn't help that I'm currently rammed on a packed commuter train but I'm taking it as positive Grin

brooke so glad you've got antibiotics so quickly, that's great. Hopefully it will clear up the uti and you can go on to have a healthy 9 months.

violet I'm in that horrible 'running to the loo to check' stage too- torturous! This week can't pass fast enough for me.

firsttimenewbie · 19/05/2015 07:17

How is everyone doing today? Hope AF didn't make any unwelcome visits overnight.

Brooke113 · 18/05/2015 21:54

Glad Af has stayed away Violet that's good :)

Still got cramps here, feel just like Af is going to rear her ugly head :( been put on some antibiotics for a uti though, so hopefully they should kick in.soon, and praying, really praying Af stays away x

VioletIbiza88 · 18/05/2015 21:32

Sorry to hear a lot of you are feeling very emotional today. It's an extremely stressful time, and its hard to think about anything else at the moment, so it is bound to get on top of us.

Brooke has the pain subsided any? Hope you will get some answers tomorrow. Good luck hope it is just a bad uti and bean is ok. Actually today at work someone came in in absolute agony and that was with kidney infection and kidney stones.

AF has stayed away so far, which means my cycle has definitely been longer than it was last month. Not sure if that means I'm officially late yet, as my app doesn't predict AF until Thursday. Still got the feeling that AF is coming any second and had to keep running to the loo at work today to check, when I was so sure I could feel it coming and then it hadn't.

Issie339 · 18/05/2015 20:37

Thanks for the positive thoughts everyone, trying not to get my hopes up too much but...

firsttimenewbie · 18/05/2015 19:55

Yep sounds positive issie

brooke, issie I am also feeling very emotional tonight. Feeling really bloated and like its definitely over. I know I am being stupid because we haven't been trying long at all but can't help feel gutted. But thanks brooke that makes me feel a bit better :-)

Brooke113 · 18/05/2015 18:20

That sounds positive to me Issie

Keeping everything crossed for your bfp too Sarah I am extremely emotional atm I keep crying for no reason at all.

first hopefully that dream is a good sign, I'm sure I've read that pregnancy can cause weird dreams :)

Issie339 · 18/05/2015 14:10

Ooh a lot of symptom spotting the morning!! Grin

I've been sadly symptom free all morning though i have that burning, pulling sensation in my uterus again now (just slightly). No sign of AF yet, I'm 9dpo

sarah1391 · 18/05/2015 11:56

Morning everyone! I'm feeling emotional today, this is not a good sign as I get emotional the day before AF is due...although sometimes I'm emotional for no reason.

newbie it's the pear kopparberg one i've tried, doesnt taste the same as the alcoholic version but tastes like sweets! Dreams are weird haha i havent had a pregnancy dream for a few weeks now, get them a lot. And congrats to DH!

Fx AF stays away for u violet and anyone else who AF is due for today...no sign of her here yet

brooke good luck. Maybe it is a uti, especially if you've been dtd a lot!

firsttimenewbie · 18/05/2015 11:09

Good luck brooke hope the results come back quickly.

FX for you all staying AF free.

I had a dream last night that we found out I was pregnant. Was so realistic took a while to realise it would just a dream. :-( Although bizarrely we also found out it was a girl and were devastated.....dont know where that came from.....we would love any gender!

Brooke113 · 18/05/2015 08:30

Great news on the pay rise front newbie

Keeping everything crossed that Af stays away for you Violet

I'm going to pop a sample into my doctors and they'll call me later with the results as lots seem to think I have uti symptoms :( I have to say though, I don't have any pregnancy symptoms anymore though :( no sore boobs anymore, however much I prod them Blush I'm just not feeling good.

Agreed Issie this ttc malarkey is tough :(

VioletIbiza88 · 18/05/2015 05:59

Dpo 11 day morning all! New symptom these past two days - nightsweats, never had before in my life. I think I might be a radiator....

Hope af stays away from us all today, I notice she's due for a few of us me included.

Have a good day people x

Issie339 · 17/05/2015 23:01

Ooh fab newbie, great timing too with a (hopefully) baby on the way Wink

firsttimenewbie · 17/05/2015 22:51

Haha yeah all fun and games.
Ooh which cider? I have tried Kopperburg which was ok. Becks Blue is my fav alternative atm.
Dont' be down sarah it will happen.
Issie DH got a pay rise which makes things a lot easier for us. :-)

Issie339 · 17/05/2015 22:29

What were you celebrating newbie anything exciting?

Don't be down sarah Flowers keeping my fx for you

sarah1391 · 17/05/2015 22:19

The non-alcoholic cider is quite good though! I'm just sat here thinking there's no way i could be pregnant, need to cheer up haha

Issie339 · 17/05/2015 22:06

Haha fake alcohol and fake coffee, it's a laugh a minute this ttc malarkey isn't it!

firsttimenewbie · 17/05/2015 21:54

Hey all
Looks like it will be a busy week on this thread!

In other news just tried to have a celebratory meal with oh. He was on Prosecco I was on 'celebration schloer' urgh it was vile!! Give me alcohol any day!

sarah1391 · 17/05/2015 21:21

brooke tomorrow but i think anytime in the next few days. Exactly, think u should have a little time to yourself and have a pamper etc to try to relax Cake

Brooke113 · 17/05/2015 21:11

When is Af due for you Sarah ooh this could be an exciting week on this thread then :) Fx for all of you.

I'm just going to take each day as it comes for now, nothing more I can do x
