First time TTC?!! Let's get through this together!! Part 2

oops guys i have started a new thread for us to carry on as we are nearing 999

go to this thread herenew thread

woohoo bumps a week ahead of me then!! well done lady!!

thanks bubba and saz i actually dont believe it is happening due to the lack of symptoms, tho the lack of AF is telling me otherwise!! i cant tell you how many times i have checked the PG Test just to check it hasnt reverted back to 'not pg'.

oo MAF keep us posted on the acupuncture, i have heard good things about it.

OMG Bumps thats brilliant news. Big Congrats

BSL I'll keep you posted on the acupuncture. I'm hoping it will extend my LP which seems to only be about 10 days. The women i saw specialises in Fertility Acupuncture and a friend of mine saw her and said she's good at helping beans to stick Not sure if you and DH could make it to Hackney but here's her website www.acupuncturealison.co.uk

This is a lucky thread and seeing the new BFP's gives me a huge sense of hope and happyness

Well i got a High on the CBFM this morning but not sure if we'll be doing insems this month because of the things the boys have going on

Summer its good to hear that wine and TTC can go together as really havent cut back my intake although think i will during the 2WW

Hope your all having a good weekend.

Fingers crossed for a couple more September BFP's

OMG x-posts Bumps Congrats to you too!!!!

Congrats Summerbird I knew it would be!!!!! Yay! xx

It's weird not having any symptoms beforehand tho isn't it???

Hi BubbaP, how you doing?

I have a question - do any of you if it's safe to use semi-permanent hair dye when PG? It's on the list of questions I'm going to ask the midwife, but I just thought I'd raise it here. I've read lots of conflicting stories on the net. If it's not safe then of course I will wait (from what I've read it seems to be ok after 12 weeks) but my roots will be in a shocking state by then - last went on about CD3 or something

Hi everyone

Just calling back in after being away for 2 weeks on hols - Summerbird, what totally brilliant news about your BFP!

Well, we had a really great holiday as got a BFP - given this was out first month of trying we've been almost obscenely lucky; this must really be a lucky thread!! I think I'm about 5 weeks now. It's both exciting and overwhelming at the same time!

Anyway just wanted to wish you all the very best for lots of BFPs in the future!

Cheers
Bumps x

Smoked salmon
Dyed my hair
Barbecued sausages and burgers (prob undercooked)

So there you have it - all that and my little bean is stubborn as ever!!

* i feel a little bad though as all of us have had a pretty crap week, i am still sending my now legendary summerbird good vibes ////////

we are however being cautious for the next few weeks, only telling parents and my sisters, as we realise only too well that the next few weeks are crucial, i cant believe it!!!

that is me teetotal for the next 9 months! never gone that long in my life!!!

Oh my goodness this thread is INCREDIBLE - or maybe it's those clearblue thingies?!!! Well done summerbird that's great - and here's to many more for the rest of us before Xmas! x

congratulations!! I am really happy for you! This really is a good thread! Xx

I'm so happy for you!!!

oh my god

BFP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i got home and said to DH that i just wanted to test and get it over with - he didnt want me to but i won! i did a cheap Boots one which was crap (faint blue like) so did my free Clearblue one................

Hasnt sunk in yet!!!

Ladies that you for all your kind words. Sorry I have yet again been AWOL! Have been busy at work and have done 2 13 hour days this week without managing to come home. I'm sooo glad it's Friday!!
bubapp I'm really sorry for your news. I hope you and DH are ok
BSL I hope you are ok and get some more answers soon. I completely understand why you are angry.
dawn I'm sorry about your difficulties. I think everybody is just being overly cautious at the moment-you should be able to get your loan though. Don't give up!

I am much happier today though ladies! My sister in law has had her baby! (the one I threw my baby shower for ) we are going up to see him tomorrow and I am soo excited! I told some of my kids today though and they started telling me how I should have a baby and how if be a great mom I laughed along and told them I was going to have twins or I may steal this baby tomorrow but I felt like shouting IM TRYING!! LOL.

Anyway...I am off to buy some Angus cactus (thank you for the link-you are a star!) and am going to book myself in for a session with a reflexologist. My sister has a very good axcupuncturist bit the first session is £90 and I just can't afford that. Reflexology is only £15 so I shall try that first. Lots of people on the other thread have said t worked so I am going to give it a go!

crunchy xx

bub i am soooo sorry to hear your sad news, hope you are looking after yourself though, amd am glad to hear the little bean is behaving itself!

question for those in the know - is EWCM a symptom? i used to get it all the time but not so much now, but have got some today.

Hi everyone!

Sorry I haven't posted for a while, but I haven't left you. I'm still trying to keep up to date with everything that's happening...

Crunchy, Masala, Dawn, and MAF - sorry to hear that you're having a tough time at the moment.
BSL ? glad to hear you?re feeling more positive.
Summerbird ? sounds promising, keep us posted!
Vix - sorry that your AF arrived.
Saz ? glad to see you?re still on here. I haven?t suffered much from MS so far ? fingers crossed it stays that way!
Flirty and Hever - hope you?re both OK and that your beans are well too!

And a very BIG WELCOME to Questions, Wishin, Lynsy, TBONTB, Thandeka, Michelle - this is a fab and very lucky thread!

Well, things have been pretty eventful for us. Unbelievably, we have had 3 deaths in the family over the last 10 days, my DH's uncle died unexpectedly last week and two of my elderly relatives have died this week.

But on a positive note, my little Welsh bean appears to be doing well - I'll be 9 weeks tomorrow!

I had my 1st midwife appointment this week - there was so much information and so many questions, but it feels more real now! I'm waiting to get the date through for my 1st scan - will be really glad to have it.

Lots of hugs and babydust to you all **
bubxx

ooh I'm so excited about possible BFP's on here, it's like witnessing a birth or something! fingers crossed for you!

I just ordered some pre-seed from ebay

oo you are all teasing me now!! i really dont know what to think, as have no symptoms of either AF or PG.

I just had a reality check though, my friend is going through the adoption process and has just lost out on a newborn baby to another couple i have recommended MN to her as they have a whole adoption section. they so deserve to have a baby!

anyway work has settled down for me now, the mean girls are being nice as pie which wont last long but am making the most of it!!

Happy Friday everyone!

I have a good feeling about Summerbird too

Dawn my boobs are never sore, it's not usually even a symptom of AF, so its a bit odd to have them feeling like this for the past few days. I'm 6+2 now (I think that's how you note it) it feels like it should be longer...time is dragging
I'm also well and truly knackered! Twice this week I've feel asleep on the sofa at 9pm I have been suffering from cold this week so I thought it might be that, but I just feel exhausted all the time. Sorry will stop moaning now
