Thanks for suggesting that I start this thread - its a real honour. Won't be leaving it yet as am only on cd24, despite getting bfps from the 3 tests I have done today (paranoid or what?!).
Lots and lots of babydust to everyone. If this pg is successful, I will have conceived in the midst of an awful cold so that should give everyone some hope. Lots and lots of hugs.....

Lol Minnie that was fast

MINNIE1 · 06/01/2005 13:58

I have found a persona geekgrrl (the little star) has one for me.. Now i can join the persona gang.. Hopeing this will help me have loads of babies...

Fastasleep · 06/01/2005 13:51

Hmm saying that about my O....I spend about a week wondering if I'm getting damper and whether I might be starting to O... it's like that 'am I pregnant? - I have the tiniest cramp, oh god!' thing except I do it twice a month lol!

Fastasleep · 06/01/2005 13:49

Hey cockenzie, I don't use persona and probably won't whilst ttc this one... I just trust my cm and I get a slight pain for about 2 days and then I get incredibly horny on the last day! If only my af was so regular and obvious eh!

Sallie I had cramps and quite sharp stabbing pains for the first 3 months I was pregnant with Theo, never any bleeding or anything like that - not even for implantation... so it doesn't have to mean a thing, other than your bean's getting settled in my advice - stuff your face right now!!! Just in case the morning sickness fairy comes in the night!

Sallie · 06/01/2005 13:31

Just some mild cramping.
I used persona after having ds and whilst ttc no 2 (my dd). Then used it after dd ttc no 3 and so far its come up trumps!!! My cycle both times took quite a long time to settle after finishing bf (4.5 months and 5.5.months postpartum respectively). Persona told me I was ov around cd21/22 and it steadily got earlier in my cycle as my cycle has got shorter (from 35 days down to 28 days). Last cycle I ov on cd14 and got a bfp on cd25 . What I am trying to say (in a longwinded way) is that I think persona is great - esp for pinpointing your ov.

hiya em, and wlecome, (glad all is ok tan.)

(I always assumed persona to be good as loads of women have got PG with them within the first few months of using them)

am back on the angus catus and starflower again, (don't know if it's a good idea thou cos I've felt really sick all morning!) lol. still, oooh and have noticed the past two cycles a pain when I OV (enought to take the breath away sort of thing, which i'm assumein is all good stuff, as I have that then persona flashes a O! lol.) any how must dash back to work.

hester · 06/01/2005 13:10

Welcome ellimum

Sallie, what sort of pain? I think all sorts of aches and twinges are pretty normal... unless it's very acute I wouldn't worry about it (impossible I know!).

MINNIE1 · 06/01/2005 13:05

sorry i had,

MINNIE1 · 06/01/2005 13:04

sallie, i have pain like AF when i found out i was pg it could be that (now AF won't show) Relax and put your feet up hon..

cockenzie, I'm on the look out for one at the moment.. Are you using one ?

Sallie · 06/01/2005 12:58

I am spending a fortune on tests! Did a Boots digital this morning (CD27) which was a BFP and then found another test in my drawer- a 'normal' Boots one which also came up with a BFP! Am feeling anxious as have tummy pain today....what do you think this might be?

OP posts:
cockenzie · 06/01/2005 12:55

any of you who doesnt have a persona yet?

MINNIE1 · 06/01/2005 12:52

Nikkichik, Think we all do that spent a fortune on tests when we could have the price of a persona now!!!!! Just put an add on the MN for sale page to see if any others are finished and want to sell, If no luck i'll buy on ebay the cheaper then boots.. Lets hope you tested to soon... xxxxxx*x baby dust to you

Welcome ellimum hope you stay here is a short one ( in a good way)

sparkly · 06/01/2005 12:52

Nikkichik, I can totally sympathise. Had to avoid going into Boots at lunchtime today otherwise I would have bought one and tested and then, most probably, been disappointed. I'm only one day ahead of you in my cycle.

I'm holding out till Monday before buying then testing which will of course be done at work so bear with me if I have a mini crisis. Unless, of course, AF arrives

Nikkichik · 06/01/2005 12:24

Excellent news Tania - how exciting - good luck. Also good news for Sallie - it is real, it is true - try not to worry!
I could kick myself - went home last night and did a first Response test (24 days into 28 day cycle) after telling myself I wasn't going to cos it was a waste of money, blah, blah, blah. Of course it was a BFN. Boobs don't feel so bad today and I don't feel sick anymore so think af will probably come on schedule! I am an idiot!!! Am seriously thinking of getting a Persona as am wondering if I'm getting my dates a bit confused but I know they are pricey! Wonder if my sil still has hers?

Sallie · 06/01/2005 12:16

...just what I was thinking! Sounds very thorough! I don't expect to get much interest in this pregnancy from my drs or midwives if all things are well and it continues without incident.

Blimey, is your GP doing something mine isn't?!

ellimum · 06/01/2005 11:10

Hi
Can I join? just started ttc #2 last month.

Went to see my GP to get my coil out and he said " September is a lovely time to have a baby, I'll see you in six weeks" talk about getting your hopes up!

Wish you all the best luck, hope we all get pg soon.

hester · 06/01/2005 11:04

Fastasleep, get yourself down to Superdrug RIGHT NOW! Just to prove to yourself that you can! You have NOTHING to prove to those eejits

Fastasleep · 06/01/2005 10:58

I'm so pathetic...rather than show my face in superdrug ever again I'm now wiping theos smelly bum with warm soapy water and make up pads I've gone so mad! Must get out this weekend before I become a desperate housewife lol

Fastasleep · 06/01/2005 10:55

I'm glad it was just predictor being crap Sallie! Congrats again

Sallie · 06/01/2005 10:44

Best of luck Tania - twins would be fab - a ready made family!!! Will keep everything crossed for you.

Tania, really pleased to read you news. Great that things are happening so quickly +++++++++++++++++

hester · 06/01/2005 09:59

Tania, that is brilliant news. You must be so pleased and relieved that you have a good action plan in place and that you have good odds of being pregnant very soon. Is your dh also feeling relieved?

runtus · 06/01/2005 09:53
