Anyone else on CD1 who wants to join me?

Wannabe - I am having period like pains too, but like you I think I might be sympton spotting. Although I do remember having these pains when pregnant, I looked on them as growing pains although I'm not sure they were that early!! Oh I do hope it's all good for us all xxx

Hi guys

sparky thank you, yes in pain still, constant pain in my side and i started to get a kind of tightening in my tummy too, almost similar to pg cramps! (stop it heeby!)

Nelix - hope you are having a wonderful evening and lots of luck to you both (and the little swimmers!)

wannabe thank you for your message, do you think you will wait till the 15th? thats a long time to wait! I have been having the same pains but no other symptoms, well no different than the last 2 months!

I suppose i'm technically on the 2ww although i am not symptom spotting really as if i do have an ovarian cyst then i might not be OVing properly (even tho Dr and others have assured me it shouldn't be difficult). So am with you all on the 2ww as well just not shouting about it yet so as not to build up hopes!

Hey Sparky, not sure when I can test. My AF is due some time between the 8th and the 14th! Any advice on when to test? Not sure I can wait until the 15th!!

Thanks for the info! im such a newby! ha ha

Nelix and Makingafamily - good luck with the yogurt pots ladies!!

Wanabe 2ww is the 2 week wait between OV and AF being due! When are you due to test?

Heeby am so proud you kicked some ass to get your scan moved forward Still in pain tho hon?

Jools have only done 2 tests so far will try and fight the urge to do it again tomorrow

right...time for my tea! xx

Hey ladies,

Just been thinking to myself, I've had period like pains last thursday to saturday but nothing since, and no other symptoms. Been looking on other threads and most women seem to get other symptoms too. Do you think it is a possibility I've been successful or am i wishful thinking?

I'd apreciate your honest opinions!

It's my first time and i keep thinking it shouldn't be this difficult although this is the first month that me and DH haven't been able to keep our hands off each other as we are sssoooo determined to do it this time, and all the other months (the last 4)seemed to have a significant impacting factor, e.g. had a UTI, went on a girly weekend, decided to hold off as was promise of another job. So what do you think? Help!! I'm obsessing already and can't test for another week at least!! argh

I think a lot of us will be on the 2WW soon

I'm on day 4 of EWCM, CD13, so am expecting to ov anytime soon and then start obsessing trying to distract myself from serial symptom spotting !

Hey everyone,

I'm still buzzing for you Sparky and starting to get nervous about when I test now, although not actually sure when I can!
Quick query, 2WW?!

Keep the baby dust coming, I'm sssooo wishing for a BFP as im sure all of us are
And I agree with Jools, i'd be peeing on pregnancy sticks for weeks just to try and convince myself it was true!!

So pleased about the scan being brought forward Heeby, at least you'll have some answers soon and can settle your mind. Keep us posted.

Hey Nelix. Looks like we're may be doing the 2ww together we can stop each other early testing. Good luck

Finally on CD21 (today) i've had a PEAK on the fertility monitor Just got in and done a cheapy OPK and negative so thought i'd push the boat out and do a CB one and that came in as positive Now a bit skeptical about the cheapy ones!!

So the boys are coming round tonight from stir fry and insems wink As they are off to Gran Canaria on staurday.

Baby Dust and Yoghurt Pots for all

Great news Heeby - hope all goes well on Thursday

Sparky - I'm really not sure how I'd feel in your position, but am guessing I'd have purchased a job lot of sticks and would be peeing on them twice a day

Hey - that's great news! Good shouting!

(am feeling v fine by the way, a few AF like cramps, but i figure that's ok... Actually, am still in shock and praying the high hormones I must have (AF isn't due for 3 days) are a good sign!)

Just to let you know guys, my scan has been brought forward to this Thursday at 4pm! (he who shouts loudest in all that!) which is great, i will be pleased to get some answers (hopefully) and a bit of an idea of what's going on.
x

Yes let's hope the BFP's keep coming!

Thanks sparky as for the scan, i have called the Dr who has called the Hosp who's systems are down so they are not able to tell me if they can bring me forward at all!

so have to call them after lunch. but have had a potential appointment at a local private clinic offered for tonight at 6.30pm! it'll cost £75 but i'm wondering whether to do it. My DH says do it if i'm that worried but i think secretly he is thinking it's probably me being overly concerned over nothing and impatient.

So not sure what to do really, will call the NHS hosp after lunch and if they can fit me in within the week i'll wait if not i might do the private option.

I have been in a fair bit of pain this weekend, the pain in my side is awful (like a bad stitch) and i feel so sicky and bloated. Hmm.

so how are you feeling mummy!!!??

What a fabulous list!

Have you managed to move your appt heeby hon? how you feeling?

Hey here's our new list ....

AbstractMouse, CD5 AF due ??
MakingaFamily, CD14, AF due ??
Deanychip??

Sparky BFP!!!!
MyLittleBubble, AF due 10th Sept?
Heebychick, AF due 10th Sept
Funtime, AF due 13 Sep
Jools1, AF due 17/18 Sept
Yellowflowers, AF due 19/20 Sept
Nelix AF due 16 sep (ish)

Morning all.... Convinced myself that the test must have been wrong so did another one this morning....

Still BFP!! It's one with that fancy conception thingy too (my free test was the one yesterday Jools - I think they're good omens )and it seems right (1-2 weeks since conception).

Right ladies, big sprinkling of baby dust for you all...

back later to catch up on the gossip

Thanks Nelix

I'd been googling, but got massively varied answers, so thought I'd try the experts !

If I follow a normal pattern, I shall OV on CD 14, 15 or really really early on CD16. I was really really hot in the night - windows open, threw off the duvet, and still feel hot now, so it might be imminent ..

So, it sounds like BD'ing on CD9, 11 and (hopefully !) 13 and 15 might be optimum timing.

Fingers crossed !

Morning all !

My free test arrived yesterday but I didn't find it till this morning I thought I'd applied too late and wouldn't get one, so this must be a sign

Was getting confused last night as I thought EWCM had finished but I hadn't noticed any OV pains - seems to be more EWCM today though (CD13), so I guess I'd better get busy

How long do the swimmers stay alive in EWCM, and how long does it take them to swim to their destination on average - anyone know ?

Still smiling for you Sparky

Heeby The Elvis tribute thing was a local guy (St Albans / Luton area) who is really really good but I don't think he is actually signed up anywhere - just does it for fun / charity mainly. Love WHAM aswell - a friend went to see George Michael last week and said it was amazing

Just realised that I'm at a good friends wedding 2 - 3 days after AF is due, so I have an excuse to cave in and test - just to test whether I can drink or not !

OMG!!!!! SPARKY CONGRATULATIONS so brilliant, am really really excited for you!

I know how you nervous you must be feeling (i'm sure i'll be the same when it happens to me) but you must see this is a new start, different time and different place. This is the beginning of a wonderful journey (bit too cliched??)

I am genuinely so pleased, brilliant news!

So yes lets all follow your lead please!

BTW have called the DR this morning to see if they can hurry my scan along, have had awful pains over the weekend and feel more sick than ever, lets hope they can sort something as i have no idea if i am ovulating with all this going on x

FABULOUS news to come home to

Please stick around and share some of those preggie vibes with us

Well done Sparky thats fab news. Please stay on the thread to give us all some of that baby dust it would be great for us to keep together and hopefully all get BFP's x

WellHeeby it's me and you next chick, good luck x When you going to test? I am not sure of my AF due date as it was my first since having LO not sure when to test? I'm sure I'll start testing every week from the 10th!!

Me again! Sparky any tips?
Oh and how far along were you when you had the MC last time? Maybe that's a milestone you could look out for?

Oh im so pleased for you, just praying im going to be as happy this time next week! (or the middle of next week, not really sure how long my cycle is so could be anytime next week).

Ooh Sparky has set the presedent ladies, get your BD-ing done now so we can all be the "due in May" thread!!

Speak to you all tomorrow xx

Wow congratulations sparky i hope all goes well and no MC this time!

Take care of yourself and keep positive, this could be it!
