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

violet Well I'm working all week from Tuesday so that along with DD should keep me busy! Have to take DD to her little dance class tomorrow and a few bits but that's going to be the tough day. Determined not to test until Saturday, I reckon I'll know if AF is coming before that as I normally get a bit of a lead up.

sarah1391 · 17/05/2015 21:02

Hi everyone! Busy weekend so havent caught up yet.

brooke Flowers

AF hasnt turned up yet, if shes not here nearer the end of the week i'll test again. Feel a bit sick today :/ not really holding out much hope

Brooke113 · 17/05/2015 20:53

Fingers crossed Af stays away for you Violet I'm going to drop a sample in to the doctors tomorrow to check x

VioletIbiza88 · 17/05/2015 20:51

Issie have you got anything on to distract yourself with these next five days? At least I'm working four of them so that should keep me occupied a little bit anyway

Brooke you couldn't help testing early when you thought something was wrong! I'm still hoping yours is ok and its just a really bad UTI. Guess its just a waiting game. Got my fingers crossed for you too.

My AF is due anytime between tomorrow and Thursday, let the tension continue!!

Brooke113 · 17/05/2015 20:41

Oh Issie (hugs) keep positive, the longer you can wait to test the better! I've learnt my lesson this time around. Wish I'd never tested early, as Af isn't due until Monday/Tuesday and with the spotting/cramps and blood in my urine, the doctor agreed that it's probably a cp and Af is going to start v.soon. I'm keeping everything crossed for you and Violet testing buddies x

Issie339 · 17/05/2015 20:33

How's everyone else doing today? I'm not really having any symptoms today, got a horrible feeling it's going to be a BFN, don't know how I'm going to wait until Saturday to test!!

Brooke113 · 17/05/2015 16:35

Thankyou for all being so lovely (hugs) I don't know what I'd do without you all.

Issie339 · 17/05/2015 16:25

Ok well keep chatting to us instead hun Flowers

Brooke113 · 17/05/2015 16:16

I just can't bring myself to tell him :( Ive learnt my lesson, I'm not testing early next month, it just causes unnecessary heartbreak :(

Issie339 · 17/05/2015 15:39

Oh brooke Sad so sorry to hear that. Are you sure it wouldn't be good to tell OH so you had some support in RL?

Brooke113 · 17/05/2015 15:26

No didn't tell dh, as I have blood in my urine now :( it's not good. Called the nurse at my practice and she agreed that it probably is a cp and I will start AF in a day or so.

Issie339 · 17/05/2015 12:47

Cyber hugs brooke Flowers Have you told your OH yet?

Ooh looks like loads of us will all be testing at the same time!! Grin

sparklesandfizz · 17/05/2015 08:44

Oh brooke so sorry you are feeling so bad Flowers
Keeping everything crossed for you xx
Be kind to yourself and get some rest

Brooke113 · 17/05/2015 06:26

Morning ladies, haven't slept a wink last night because of the cramps, I'm sure I've had some spotting too and this mornings test was alot fainter :( really is a waiting game....check in with you all soon.

firsttimenewbie · 16/05/2015 23:45

Ooh I may also be testing next weekend if AF doesn't show up before than. Not hugely hopeful she won't be making an appearance but you never know!

sparklesandfizz · 16/05/2015 22:27

??8dpo here may test fri/sat
Brooke at this moment you are pregnant, hoping you feel better soon xxx

VioletIbiza88 · 16/05/2015 22:23

9dpo Issie

Issie339 · 16/05/2015 21:26

I'm 7dpo what about you violet?

Brooke113 · 16/05/2015 20:56

Ooh so you're testing buddies Issie and Violet how exciting! How great if you both get bfp's, Saturday could be a fabulous Day :)

I'm sat here with my feet up and a water bottle on my tummy :(

VioletIbiza88 · 16/05/2015 20:48

Brooke I'm testing on Saturday, going to do our weekly food shop on Friday after OH finishes work and will buy tests then so that I can't do it any sooner. And I won't jinx anything cause AF will already be late by then or will have shown up and then I won't be buying any!! Just got tomorrow off to imagine symptoms and obsess and then I've got long days at work Monday to Thursday so that should keep me busy. Having the day off on Friday might be tricky though if AF hasn't come before that!

What DPO are you Issie?

Issie339 · 16/05/2015 20:12

Sounds positive violet all strong pregnancy symptoms.

Yeh I don't normally feel like this...though I've had a swollen throat (viral thing?) the last few days so not sure how much is down to that. I honestly can't remember how I felt last time I was pregnant at all so no help there. I'm going to really try and hold out until next Saturday but I have HPTs upstairs calling me already- eek!!

Lovelyjubbly95 · 16/05/2015 19:56

Brooke hope ur feeling better soon
Sarah did u enjoy ur ??? Bfp nxt cycle hopefully!
Violet fx! I Do Hope my symptoms r consistent with a possible bfp in a few wks...saw my sister today with her Scan pics :/ happy For her Tho :)

Brooke113 · 16/05/2015 19:40

Violet those sound like positive symptoms :) keeping my fingers crossed for you, when are you testing again? Around the same time as Issie?

VioletIbiza88 · 16/05/2015 19:22

Brooke congratulations on your bfp, I'm sorry it comes with so much pain at the moment though. I have my fingers firmly crossed that you will both be ok, hopefully it is what Issie said and he's burrowing in tight. Thinking of you hun x

Issie are these symptoms different from previous months? Did you have any symptoms with DD?

My symptoms are on and off cramps, mostly get them in the evening, when I'm hungry, but its not in my stomach, its definately uterus area. Also when your about to be sick and you get lots of saliva in your mouth, I'm getting that too. And peeing all the time and also the constant feeling AF is coming on any second?? I have this feeling that as soon as I buy a test AF is going to come as I will have jinxed myself... Issie how are you holding up with the plan of not testing till saturday?
