Trying to concieve 11 thread for October!! For us Unlucky ones on 10

Morning girlies!

Bit late today, decided to have a lie in until 7.30am for once! Bliss..........

Just read the list of all those testing at the w/end, god how exciting! Good luck everyone, statistically at least one of you has to be lucky and get a BFP.

Decided last night to go ahead and book the flights to Oz for the end of Jan. Basically we have to do it at some point and we could wait forever weighing up the right time to go. I think that if we go at the end of Jan, I will have been on Clomid for 2 months (if it is prescribed after my blood test) so I'll either be flying on Clomid (which I have read is safe) or flying in the VERY early stages of pg (and might not even know it) so the dange is no bigger than at any other time really.........god, when did going on holiday become so complicated??

Have been off the pill for donkeys' years actually.... we were using condoms. What do you mean 9 tests ?
I am 36, I have 2 kids, first one took 9 months to concieve, next one only 2 months and this one who knows as I have no clue what's happening!

Oh sorry that was a bit long

Lipstickmum - I can't help you I'm affraid - I didn't relise i was pregnant until I was quite far gone last time and it came as a total shock so I missed out on all the early symptoms. Sorry!!!!!

Morning ladies!!!!

I'm so chuffed today - I lost 2Ibs at ww last night so only another 2Ibs to go and thats me at goal!!!! I'm going to be so good this week as I'm determined to do it.

I totally pigged out last night in celebration - I had Domino's pizza for tea followed by a whole packet of pistacio nuts (Yummy!!!)
The had some classic choc cake with cornish ice cream and squirty cream uummmmmmmmmmm - I felt so sick afterwards!!!!!!!

Anyway - my boob has stopped hurting and I don't have tummy cramps or anything so hopefully.......
Although I don't have any preg symptoms either so??????????

Feeling very nervous today about my hospital appointment tomorrow. I'm really worrying about things they "might" find wrong with me. I'm going out for a drink tonight to calm my nerves!!!!!

Oh and p.s. - Friend has said she won't check up on me in here any more!?!?!?!?!?!?!

hi lipstickmum..... no I have never been preggers, but I am convinced that I an going to have af at any minute, god I am so tempted to test!!!!!!!!! should I?

Sorry bagpuss30! that makes 9 of us.....sorry can't remember your stats??????? good luck .

sexandhappy, just read about your missed periods.....what are your stats....have you recently come off the pill or anything????/
To be honest with you.... its great that you are being tested. They will do about 9 tests in all. 3 hormone tests, thyroid activity and general bloods like iron, calcium etc etc etc. So at least you will know.

Jeddah I think you have the list of girls waiting to test right, I am nervous for them too!!!

Have you never ben pg before (sorry, forget everyones stats!!) If not, the signs for af and pg are VERY similar, which is the real bi**h! Tiredness, bloating, mild af pain, sore boobs, sore back are all common to both, not to mention lots of others people swear by.

IME last time I was preggers, the only symptom I had was mild af pain and some implantation spotting, no sore boobs or anything. This time it's the same, no other symptoms except the pain, which is just things growing and changing very rapidly in the uterus, as I understand it.

HTH?

Jeddah, I am also testing at the weekend.

If you are pg then the symptoms are similar to those of af aswell so who knows. I remember that the last time I was pg I was never more convinced that af was just around the corner until I got my BFP. Good Luck

Well I am not testing unless GP/nurse offers it for free today. I am going to have a blood test to see why I am not having any periods.... I have no symptom of pregnancy but no periods as well and too skint to pay £10! But they want to test my hormone levels and my thyroid.... just in case I am premenoposal

Any of you had this ? missing periods for a while ? I have had 1 period since August which means I have missed 2 but not back to back... a bit like if I had my periods every other month.

MommyD you are due exactly the day I was last week (except i was cd28 on Thurs) When did you ov?

I tested on Wed night because I was so depressed after watching trinny and tranny and wanting my own make over AND thinking I was having af cramps... how wrong was I... and you may be too fingers crossed

Good morning girlies!!!!!!

I think I have it right in saying.......

Me (jeddah)

crazylegs

are all testing at the weekend! Bloody hell girls surely one of us will get lucky out of the 8 of us....... HAVE I MISSED ANYONE OUT????

Crazylegs ...sorry to have confused you, but from what I have read, its not dependant on the due date when you test....... it is dpo!
It takes 7-10 for implantation (but everone is different....can take up to 14dpo)Once the egg has implanted...the pregnancy hormone HCG is released which is picked up on a preggers test.

If you don't know when you have ov...... and you tend to be regular...then go by due date. I see that you think you ov on cd12.......so you could test on cd24/25 like you said!

Slink........ov pains are different for everyone, I have heard that some do have to take a pain killer, but this is not very common.

I have a question for you girls who have been pregnant before

I am on cd33 I ov on cd23....I am determined to wait until the weekend before I test again as got bfn on cd29! but i feel like i am going to have af.... like a fullness, slight dull ache.....would i STILL FEEL LIKE i AM GOING TO HAVE AF IF I WAS PREGGERS???????

Sallie, I'm not sure if you have me muddled with someone else (easy to do on this gigantic thread!). I was talking abot ov pains because someone mentioned theirs were so bad they had to take a painkiller. I said I knew I was ovulating because of mild pain, but never that bad... Make sense..?

Morning - Tania - I too feel NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING. AF due Thurs (cd29). I have decided not to test until Sunday or Monday - when THREE days late - if indeed I am late!
I have now convinced myself I am not pg so don't think I will be too when AF shows. (Especially as I had BFN on Sunday - even though it might have been too early to test)

Funny you should say that about your eye onamnbreakbut, A few days before I tested my eye was really sore and twitching and felt like I had a sty developing or something, it was odd! I don't think it was realted at all, but at the time I read all sorts into it!!!

You are all so good. Ive wasted two tests already and im not even due till Sunday. Should know better but i cant help myself. Ive bought two more and left in my glove box so i wont be tempted to go out in the reain and get them.

Woke with a swollen eye this morning, god knows why, not a pregnancy sign by anychance is it? . Tania can you pop round and do my housework too, you are good getting it done before the kids wake

lipstickmum
I have had really bad ov pains for the past few months too. Glad I am not alone. Was starting to think something was wrong with me. At work late last night and will be another latie tonight - American clients! At least tomorrow is my day off...can't wait!

(((((sneaks into study)))))
Just cooking dinner while dh is playing with ds thought i would quickly type a quick msg.
Feeling very crampy, sick and have a headache then when cooking chicken stirfry felt really sick. mmmmm tempted to test in the morning.
Oh gotta go dh is comming.....

Gosh Tania, you are really going through it aren't you?!! I would wait till your af due day, or at least the day before!!! It's hard, but whenever you feel the urge to pee on a stick, come on here instead

Good Morning Bagpuss.
You poor thing and poor Ds (((((HUGS)))))
Sorry ds just woke will be back later.
Hope you feel better.

Morning Tania, I'm here . Been really busy cleaning the house yesterday and trying to keep my mind off testing this week. Ds had his pre-school booster jab yesterday and has been sick in the night so I've hardly had any sleep but at least I can cancel my dentist appointment today as I'm hardly in a fit state to drive (I was also wondering how I was going to tell the dentist that I didn't was my annual x-rays - just in case!) so a good excuse I feel. How are you this morning?

Ok so now i have that crampy feeling that could be af warning me or i could be pg????
I am CD 23 and last cycle was a 26 Day and the one b4 was 27 so when should i test???? Should i test CD24 b4 i go to the natrapath or should i test 26, 27 or 28????? just dying to know either way.
Nearly tested b4 but when i read the instructions it said that you have to do it first thing in the morning if testing b4 af due but any time of the day after af due. Lucky i proberly would have wasted that test. Faite telling me not to test today!!!
Come on girls wakey wakey i need someone to chat to. done washing and house work just waiting for ds to wake.

Hey, didn't realise how busy this site was even at this time, just had a quick peek at active convos - couldn't resist. Right am going back to bed definately now - see ya later Tania, continued sweet dreams the rest of ya x

Can't stay up and talk Tania as it's 3.23am here and must try to get back to sleep - got up for the loo (TMI) and don't feel very sleepy anymore, which is unusual for me - better try though, don't want to wake dh, as has an early start. Anyway just a quick hello and hope you're having a good day down there in Oz !

Good Morning Girls. Will someone pls wake up early so i can have a chat....
