We're Gonna Need A Bigger Sleigh!!! December Hopeful's say AYE!

Fingers crossed for you!!!!

My AF ( or BFP) is due tomorrow so I might test in the morning as we are going round to our newighbours for drinks in the afternoon.

Huge congratulations BoJingles and Jess1996! What a wonderful Christmas pressie - here's to two very sticky pgs.

Is anyone else left to test in December?? I know MrsMcClaus is off on holiday, and a couple of others are away. I'm not quite sure when AF is due for me, was due yesterday according to my previous three cycles which were all 27 days. Am now on CD28 but didn't OV until CD17. I think the 'stress' of thinking about charting/TTC etc might have delayed OV a bit so my cycle might be extended. Don't feel pg at all. Have had usual cramping/sore boobs. Did a couple of cheapie tests and they've both been -ve. Just want it out of the way really so I can enjoy NYE!

KitKat - I'm sure it is perfectly normal to start worrying about the logistics of having a baby for the first time. Don't beat yourself up about it!! But try to relax and enjoy your pregnancy!!

Fettle hon, I'm so sorry to hear your news.

BoJingles and Jess1996 congrats - glad to hear some good news.

I'm feeling OK - a little queasy now and again, mostly just knackered though. Feeling a little scared to be honest - keep worrying about work and money and how we're all going to fit in our tiny flat etc etc. It's so strange - I've wanted this for months and now that it's here it all feels so real and terrifying. Trying to put things into perspective and focus on the positives, but I just feel so overwhelmed by it all. How did the MNetters who already have kids feel? Did you feel OK about everything or did it happen slowly? This will be our 1st, so I'm just not sure what to expect...

Sorry to go on and sound so negative - especially when there is news of miscarriages and BFNs - I'm just a little scared and worried.... Someone kick me up the backside please?!

Congratulations BoJingles and Jess1996!!!!!!

fettle, i am so truly sorry to hear your news. how completely crap for you, i cant imagine how you must be feeling. and i know its no consolation, but a friend of mine had 2 miscarriages and open heart surgery within a year in 2005 and had practucally given up, and now has identical twins (born in november). you must feel so shit, but try not to give up hope. 2007 HAS to be a better year for you doesn't it, you seem like you really deserve a better one.

Hi to you all!!!

I too got a BFP last week, just in time to stop the booze for christmas. I have tested twice as I couldn't believe the BFP the first time . Over the moon and tickled pink . I'm in the throws of spotting and awful cramping at the moment which is hugely worrying and I'm just keeping everything crossed that all is going to be ok. Off to see the Doc tomorrow if cramping continues, otherwise been advised by the midwife to keep feet up and rest. It all feels really strange and I don't feel even remotley pregnant and feel like my period will arrive at anytime. Having to pinch myself that this is actually happening Everything tightly crossed together - better put feet up again now otherwise DH will be telling me off

Fettle - I'm sooo sorry for your loss, I really really hope you're ok.

After 5 months of trying I've finally got a BFP .

Although I've only posted a few times I've found these conception threads a great source of comfort as I've been finding TTC quite stressful and it's always good to know that there are others with the same worries.

My body went mad when I started TTC and I had 3 months of completely erratic cycles (34 days, 40 days, 21 days). After that I started temp'ing which really helped. Anyway, in case anyone is interested I did nothing different this month and the only symptoms I had were boobs which were quite a bit sorer than usual (although they improved a bit around the time AF was due, so I thought it was all over). I waited until I was 17dpo and then used a Boots test and got a strong BFP straightaway.

Anyway big congrats to all those with a BFP this month and good luck to all.

So sorry to hear your news Fettle. So sorry xx

All the other ladies waiting to test in 2006!! My fingers are crossed for you all!!

MrsMcJnr - Have a wonderful holiday, fingers crossed you come back with a BFP. I read that you tested (tut tut )early, no more of that please!! Enjoy your new year celebrations... and hope not to see you on here in 2007, except for updates of baby growth and the pregnant lady glow.

Take care

Fettle!!!

I am sitting here in tears!Pathetic I know! I am so sorry to hear your news ((((hugs)))) If you need a break from MN then take it, but if you need to talk or rant or whatever, then we are all here for you.
Fingers crossed that you won't need any ops. I can't even imagine how you must be feeling right now, and it sounds so twee to say it, but try to be strong and hang in there flower, it will happen for you!! I just know it.
You deserve a wonderful 2007, and you are going to get it!

Thinking of you!

Ready xx

Well ladies, I'm off for 10 days now so doubt I'll be on at all but if I am lucky enough to get my BFP, I'll find a way! 10dpo today and Af due Sunday but I am having cramps today so we'll see.

Wishing you all a happy, healthy and fertile New Year and babydust to all, especially those who need it over the next few days, I'll be thinking of you.

See you soon!

{{{hugs}}}
Sorry to hear that fettle

Oh Fettle, NO! I am so sorry, I cannot imagine how you feel but you have my thoughts and I really hope 2007 is a much better year. Enjoy the wedding and make sure you see 2006 out with a bang. I hope that that is the end of things medically and that you can try again asap. Huge hugs.

oh babyfettle i am so so sorry this isnt the news you want too hear over the xmas break. i hope dp shows you a lot of support and we are all hear if you need to talk and let off steam.

i hope 2007 is your year and in the new year we are all toasting to a new year, new start with all our little ones! xxx

Sorry to hear your news fettle, and that you've had to go through such highs and lows.

Here's to a better 2007 - I'll certainly drink to that... 2006 was a bit of an 'annus horriblis' for me too xx

Hi All

I hope you all had a very merry Christmas?

Well we are back from our time away and just wanted to let you all know as you've been so great that unfortunately baby/festivefettle has lost her festiveness and her baby.

After a week of bleeding, I came home to a negative test this afternoon. I can't believe quite how excited I was a short 10 days ago. 2 mc in a year, can't say 2006 has been the best for me.

Anyway, we have my brother's wedding to go to over the weekend, so at least I can have a drink or two then and on Sunday for New Year. Here's hoping that 2007 is luckier for us all on the babyfront.

I'm off to the doctor's tomorrow in the morning as planned, but as I had a BFN this afternoon, I assume that it has all finished naturally, so hopefully I won't need any operations this time and we can get on with trying again as soon as possible.

Take care all,
Congraluations to you Kitkat - I do so hope your little one sticks.

Good Luck to all who are still waiting to test this month.

I may pop over to the hoping for Jan, but I think it more likely to be Feb and I may take a break for a while as I do think not stressing about it all too much is the way to go.

Sorry, I seem to have gone on way too long.

Sorry Whoops about AF and Babylove, really hope you find out what is going on soon x

Hey Whoops, sorry to hear AF came Better luck next month!

Well i did another test this morn, this time a boots and it was BFN confused now, must be reading the other 1 i did wrongly with the pink line.......strange.

Next AF due 2nd Jan (i asume!) so i'm gonna test after that if it doesnt come. If it hasnt come by w/C 8th Jan, im going back for investigations.......off to in-laws now so catch up when back

Morning all,

Well af arrived this morning so will have to start talking to dh nicely now! I think secretly he would really like another but doesn't want to admit it!! I'll keep working out the timings as he has said that I can go without contraception!
Oh well at least I can go and give blood later without worrying.

ImpatientElf - hope a BFP sneaks up on you when you are unawares! x

Merry Christmas to everyone, hope everyone had a nice time (even if got BFN's )

going away for a couple of days now catch up when im back!

Hello ladies. I've been off doing the various family visits. Just grabbing a quick min at the pc to see how you're all doing. Congrats on the bfps!

I think I had an anovulatory cycle. eycm went on for ages I never got to take a proper temp because ds's sleep v v bad so never actually had a 3hour sleep! So don't know for sure, but every so often see another bit of cm even now. So absolutely no idea when af due.

Good luck everyone testing over the next few days. I'll be popping in whenever I can. Can't believe how busy I am at the mo!
