The waiting game!!!

Sorry hit send too quick! I meant tomorrow with a clear blue, or will you do that later today? xx

hopeful I am not sure if I can now... I am thinking perhaps I will test tomorrow am.... one day out won't hurt right?

Yes its always been somewhere on our list, but always seemed to go further afield these past few years - unless its Paris - which is my favourite place.

Just been researching some ideas for Barcelona when we go for the hen weekend... trying to find activities for 7 people is hard! No idea what to do, or if we really even need one? Hmmmm...

Are you going to test again tomorrow?

bourbondreams are you gonna hold off testing until thurs?
september will be lovely, ive always wanted to go to Italy!

Yeah september is our last holiday, which is Italy for the wedding, we are making it an almost two week trip... :/ could be interesting if I am pregnant for it! I will miss the wine then! But will be worth it, plus can take some back with us for after then :)

I will have to check if they can deliver, I will need to tell hubby on Friday if I am as he will have to help me not drink over weekend! And help me keep the distraction!

bourbondreams that would be a great idea, such a shame your not close to one, would they deliver maybe?
i think im going to play it safe with DP, break the news to him gently just in case he has a heart attack lol ... i think he thought it would be a few months yet, and we have an all inclusive holiday booked in July which was going to be our last blow out holiday, not that il mind missing out on the drink and seafood if it turns out to be positive!

I'm not sure, part of me wants to test myself and know and then order him a book or something that is for a fathers perspective during pregnancy/early years, with a little card.

I want to do something fun with it really, cos well he really surprised me with his proposal and so this is the only thing I could really do which would have the same impact to him as that was to me...

I might see what I can get on amazon prime if I am testing Thursday it should show as thats when I am due AF and so if it shows up I would be able to order something off there for delivery next day?

I've never thought it would be a possibility but now I think I do need to have a plan for it :) haha.... we never thought we would have babies so if we do will feel like a miracle. :)

I would if I worked in a city centre pop to Millies cookies and get it put on a cookie as he loves them! but alas not near one :(

bourbundreams i have no idea, i not sure whats best... to do another test and then tell him, or to tell him i think i might be then do a test with him there on the weekend.. but then il worry that it comes up neg and il look a right plum! i need to tell him by Monday as hes away with work for a week, i wont be able to wait that long
you have any ideas what you will do? x

how do you think you will tell him hopeful? I am not sure how to do it for mine when it happens...

hopeful congratulations! It's definitely a line! Yay, first BFP here.

bourbon please share your experience as MOH. Will need to know all the do's and dont's in wedding planning and also how not to treat my MOH as a bride to be.
I havent really told anyone about it yet. You girls are really first to know. Guess it still feels rather surreal especially as I was the one who asked the question.

Day 4 of spotting and af still hasn't arrived. It's so frustrating. And of course still bfn every day. Not tested today though as can't really be bothered. Have read somewhere that it's abnormal to spot for so many days before period (this is new to me and only for the last 3 cycles) and could be due to low progesterone, which could also explain my 2 early mc's. Have booked a GP appt this evening. Really don't know what to expect - could well be sent away as not been trying for long enough.

thanks! itwillhappen i will pop out in my lunch break today to pick one up... i havnt said anything to DP, im going to try an wait until the end of the week to see if the line gets darker, fingers crossed!!

itwillhappen I know! Weddings bring out the worst in people sometimes! Sorry for AF if you think making an appearance, I am hopeful that it won't for you and its just "symptoms" but like you I think it can't possibly happen first time round, as its never that simple right? I think its the excitment of trying finally that makes it feel like it could happen, especially if think the right things have been done.

sarah1391 I know what you mean, I have the same thoughts since coming off the pill, and not 100% knowing my cycle length cos I took ages to get it back and once it did come back we just wanted to try, so I am the same about has my body gone back to my previous really short cycles or has it gone to more standard ones... who knows! I guess I will find out in next few days....

hopeful tut tut for caving - only messing! I nearly did but was half asleep this am i was in the shower before I realised that I had planned to test! I can see a line on there too, so its not just you. It isn't too early I don't think, as you can start to see it apparently on them up to 4 days before a missed AF. so it is possible. I would test again tomorrow, or if you can get a early response/clear blue one which could show up better? Keeping my FX for you

i caved again this morning, i really should go an see someone about my lack of willpower! .... im freaking a little cos to me it looks like a very faint line... i dunno if ive just convinced myself its there, i did another and got the same very faint line....isit a evap line.. is it still too early? im due tomorrow/thurs(ish) ... trying not to get too excited

gakay of course a wedding is a good idea :)
bourbon and hopefulnewbie fx u get BFPs!
itwillhappen sorry ur thinking AF is away to make an appearance! I'm trying not to put all my hope on the first month either but all this not knowing is getting to me. Am i pregnant? Is my body back to normal after coming off the pill? My head is mush

Sorry for sounding a bit depressing, feeling a bit meh tonight

hopeful haha don't be silly!!

Ah silly tests arriving already :( that's no good.

I have been thinking about trying one all day... But am trying to wait, I will see if AF symptoms com up. No idea though.

Yeah MOH role is going ok. It's been hard work at times - but these things always are. I think everyone is different about what is essential and worth the money being spent on, and their spend is getting way out of control! But alas I am doing what I can to support.

Yes I think we will see how it goes dress wise. Not sure how soon they want to look really. But I am saving and sharing ideas I see.

Yes hen is almost sorted now, we are off for weekend in Barcelona which will be nice. I need to get sorting some bits out cos it will be here before we know it!!

Sorry bourbon that was a real self involved message of me, I completly forgot to ask, how is the MOH role goin? U organised the hen night or anything like that yet? ..a floaty dress might be the way forward ;)
I was MOH last year, lovely job but can get stressful (though my friend is stressful anyway hehe)

bourbondreams I have no will power at all! I got home from work n my Internet cheapies had arrived.. So obv the first thing I did, test! BfN!!
I could literally slap myself ahhhh

hopeful i read that the pregnancy symptoms can be similar in some ways to AF ones, especially with back pain, so you never know.

Just found myself looking at maternity wear on asos... as we are bridesmaid dress looking for sept when I am MOH for a friend. So now I just want to know if we are in this month or not!!!

Desperately resisiting taking a test now as I know it wouldn't be as "strong" and so might not show up.... argh soooo hard!

antibiotics is a good excuse! I like that one!

bourbondreams keeping my fingers so firmly crossed for you!

i think im going to do the same, just keep an eye on any symptoms for AF .. my backache is usually joined by cramps and a bloated belly (i have the bloated belly but i think i just ate too much over the weekend!) a day or two before AF so maybe Weds.. I ordered internet cheapies, they haven't arrived yet so im at least promising myself il wait for those to arrive and not go buying any in my lunch break.
On the weekend, you could always use the "im just finishing a course of antibiotics" tactic , i used that yesterday when everyone was having a drink with lunch.. im sure im fine to drink but just in case

I am not sure... I think it depends on if it all seems to be showing signs or not. I usually get a massive head ache a day or two before AF so that would be today/tomorrow, but so far its all OK. And I usually get some spotting the day or so before it starts, so not sure if should just wait and see if that happens. so confusing!

I would need to be able to tell Hubby before we go away this weekend as if I am preggo we need to think what we will do with seeing friends as its always a boozy weekend when we see them but I don't think I would want to tell them so early on even with being her MOH. I would want to leave it a little longer...

Argh its so tricky! perhaps I should tomorrow am? two days before? Or weds? Or just see what happens Thursday and if any of normal symptoms start...

bourbondreams i think thurs is the day for me too.. im due Weds/Thurs.. although i think AF is going to beat me too it, ive got the monthly back ache - i get it a few days before so its right on schedule :(
you think youl be able to wait until Thurs?

haha yeah it was very cute gakay we had been together 7.5 years when it happened and it was so unexpected as we had just brought our first house too.

I am finding it so hard not to test now I know I am getting closer to AF... I think it will be negative, I don't really feel anything at the moment. Who knows....

Anyone else testing again? I think Thursday is when I am due to test... so must try not to until then!

bourbon haribo ring sounds so sweet! I would love it if DP proposed with that than me having to ask him first. Oh well, like I said above, he is always late.

hopeful I know what you mean but am thinking if we don't get married now we'll never be bothered to do so in the future. I've wanted to get married for a long while but DP didn't so thought building a family together is the same commitment but looks like no luck there either.

Thank you ladies. DP last night said he still wants to propose so that would be nice. Guess I'm just too impatient...

We bought a house a year ago but it's a massive project and still lots of work to do.
sarah now I'm not sure if a wedding is a good idea anymore. I don't mind a tiny wedding with only a few people but DP has so many best friends even just the bare minimum and immediate family is already a biggish wedding. The thought of organising a wedding is getting me stressed already.

itwillhappen that's a very good point - have not thought about that at all. If baby is anything like me and DP, it will definitely be very late.

Temp dropped this morning so af is in sight. Now I want it asap so I get to start the next cycle soon. Fingers crossed for for all of you getting bfps thus week
