TTC October - bring on the spooky BFP's part 2

Looney with dd I tested when AF was a couple of days late (I wasn't really ttc in the same way as I am now...) and I got a bfn. When Af still hadn't shown a week later I tested again and got an instant strong, dark bfp. Am using the same logic here (ie not testing too early)

Cheers MissusH - I think I'll wait til the weekend too. Thursday will be day 32 and that's what the first cycle was. I DO have a couple of the cheap tests left (the really early testing ones) but if I test and get a BFN I'll be asking the usual 'is it too early', 'should i have done first thing in the morning' etc etc.

Penny taking antibiotics is usually a good reason not to drink...?

Morning Looney

My normal (not counting weird stuff after the mirena came out) cycles so far have been 32 days & 29 days so if she is lurking TEW should come a-knocking anytime after tomorrow... Still no pms symptoms

I am going to hold out from testing until the weekend if she is still a no-show (I have no tests in the house although I did put them in the trolley in Saturday and then put them back in a panic!)..

I am feeling tres smug at my will of iron

abbevillemum Just wanted to give you {{hug}}. I'm sorry to hear you are but it is only CD 26 so could still be hope. I know how you feel I have lost PG and feel very and think it MUST be my turn now!

all you ladies who get a lie in! Having said that DD slept til 8am today but up 7am over the weekend. DH said it must be because he's around at weekends and tires her out! who was it that took her out whilst he watched football sat pm and then sorted her for him to watch rugby sat night?

Hi guys
Having a tearful morning. Took a pregnancy test this morning even though only CD 26. It was negative again. I never imagined after our MC in June that it would take so long. Just don't know how to be upbeat any more...

Hello all,

Have been a bit quiet for the past couple of weeks, been feeling a bit down about the whole TTC thing, so mostly stayed away. But after a weekend of BDing and (hopefully) ovulation, I'm back in the TWW. Have promised myself no obsessive symptom spotting, but, you know........

Is going to be a bit of a trial because I have a hen night and a wedding in the next two weeks. Will have to think of some good reasons why I'm not drinking.

Anyone got any good excuses they use to explain the teetotalness?

I empathise Shazza. Won't bore you with a tale of ds night time antics but suffice to say, I know what you are going through.

My DD is 4 and still wakes up at least 3 nights a week. She suffers from night terrors which the doctor has said she should grow out of. So I feel that it won't be such a shock to the system when I do (all fingers, legs - now that's a tricky one crossed) fall PG this time, it won't be such a shock to the system

fairy - my DD1 used to be like that as well 9-9 when she was little, that suited us fine as DP got to see her in the evening and I don't do mornings either. We have moved it forward and now they usually sleep 8-7.30am as it takes me that long to get them ready for nursery. I couldn't handle getting up at 5.30 or 6am like some people do.

Good news about your DS ladylush

hello looneytunes get a test you know you want to

Fairy

Just a quicky so no time to look through other messages I'm afraid (just having 5 mins quickly whilst baby mindee is sleeping and toddler chatting to herself )......just wondered MissusH how long your normal cycles are and when you're likely to test? Day 29 for both of us but with my cycles all over the place, I'm not sure if I should test yet.

That's great sk - tis the holidays! Btw, ds slept through the last 3 nights

Well, I Jumped on DH last night, just in case they were ov cramps. But would I have been too late? I had the really sore ones on Friday about tea time? So that would be about 50 or so hours later.... isn't it meantto be within 24-36hrs

Can you be of me too ladylush
My DD sleeps to about 9 every day, but I leave her to play and gurgle to herself, I have only just given her her milk about 15mins ago.
It's a nightmare for getting anywhere though, but I never have the heart to wake her.
She is abuot 8.30 at night before she goes to bed, even then she gabbles to herself for a fair while. Must be neaer 9.30 before she decides she might have some sleep, so, about 12 hours, as norm really, just late ones all round.
But I am not a morning person, so I just love her for it

ladylush - never been known before for them to sleep til 9am must be the cold thats whacked them out, DP will be so they didn't do that at the weekend.

Now it's 10 we are all still in our PJs, nothing is done around the house and I'm on MN

Yes Shazza - last one normal. Bled for 6-7 days and no spotting before or after. Heavy-medium-light flow. I think my oestrogen levels are too high so I am off to reflexology at 11am to see if she can work her magic.

at your dds sleeping til 9am.

ladylush - I have a tingly right boob for about 2 weeks now I think it is just weird!

ladylush How was your last AF, was it pretty normal ?.

morning everyone DDs slept until 9 this morning I think my body is in too much sleep shock, I'm still feeling rough but it sounds worse than it is now. Hope everyone else with the lurgy is feeling a bit better too. Managed to get some BDing done before DP went away and hopefully my opks will arrive today as well. It's October week school holidays this week in Scotland so DD1 not at nursery so trying to think of things to do with them all week. Today we are staying in as I'm having a delivery and both DD2 and I aren't feeling too well but trying to fill in the rest of the week with things to do.

Har - got to think positive that your little bean will stick, as for cheeses just avoid the unpasteurised soft ones like Brie, Camembert etc hard ones like Parmesan are OK I can't remember where you are and what the local cheeses are. Theres a good website from the Food Standards agency that tells you the most up to date stuff, I used to steal the info off there for my lectures!

pigley - heres to your first

garden angel - I am a big fan of small age gaps hard at first but worth it

shazza - sorry about your BFN but as you say it's only your first cycle off the pill

Thanks Har

Whilst I have always been a bit of a stroppy cow (well according to family, everybody else calls me smiler) these past couple of weeks have been hurrendous sp?, I have been an absolute nightmare, I know I have been but can't snap out of it. Glad others have experienced it IYSWIM, now I can cancel my reservation at the loony house .

Bad news about the gynae, that's just not good enough really is it. So how does it work where you live, do you have to speak to them before you can be referred to maternity hospital?

Something weird is going on with my body as I have permanently tingly breasts. Most uncomfortable I can tell you. They are more veiny too but can't be pregnant as only on cd12 and this has been going on since the last cycle.

Hi Shazza - I felt really awful the first cycle off my pill, very emotional and mood swings etc as well as things that seemed like pregnancy symptoms like sore nipples and metal mouth. Have heard from a lot of people that your body is a mess after the pill and the bad mood/ being vile to your dp/h thing is normal! Think your body goes a bit cold turkey without all those yummy fake hormones.
On the other hand the fact that you are so tired and nauseous plus sore boobs sounds like it could be something more. You're still quite early to test, I know some people can test days early and get a BFP but I didn't get one till five days after I was due on and that was very very faint.

Well having been engaged every time I tried to call, the appointment booking line for the gynae is now closed. Opens again on Thursday! One hour twice a week, no wonder it's constantly engaged!

Morning Ladies

How are we all feeling today?

Congratulations Har

Sorry to all those who have not been feeling great this weekend or those who have been touched by TEW. I suppose why she's hassling some she's leaving other's alone

Well I gave in and tested on Sunday BFN. I knew it would be only CD26 and hadn't really BD much. I have justified my reasons for testing so early though.

Basically 1st month off pill (sorry to keep repeating this) but had what I think were OV pains from CD13-CD16, since then just felt like absolute shite, tired, nauseous, ratty, sore boobs. So now I have got the BFN I can at least accept that these are going to be the normal feelings each month, which just so happen to be a lot like pregnancy symptoms, which is just great (not!). Or it could just be my body getting used to not taking the pill anymore. Either was I suppose I'm no better off but kind of feel a lot more relaxed.

So just wait for AF to rear her ugly head this week and then get on with some serious BDing

Here's to a happy monday
