121 replies

Waiting2Exhale · 15/09/2008 00:12

Hi all...I will be testing this weekend and would love to have companion on the 7 day countdown to compare symptoms up to test day.
Currently trying for baby no.2, and have been for about a year now with one M/C during that time.

Symptom/s to date at 8dpo are:

  1. Pulling type feeling low down in the groin area....

Nothing more to report at this stage..is that good?

Pls come share your experiences during the up and coming week. Its always interesting to see at the end of the week which symptom/s actually end in the coverted BFP...Yeah .

Hi guys, well done Fedupofbeingfedup! Well since last night I have had some more bleeding but still not like my period. Very light and no period pain. Been looking on some other sights and it does sound like implantation bleeding which apparently can last up to a week so keeping my hopes up and will test later this week if AF does not show up.

it seems lucky - lets hope it carries on!!

Jools1 · 22/09/2008 09:42

Woohooo - what a lucky thread this is

CONGRATULATIONS Fedupofbeingfedup Those Clearblue trial tests must be sprinkled with baby dust

I'm guessing that makes your EDD June 1st - you could go start a thread

fedupofbeingfedup · 22/09/2008 09:24

I tested on Saturday morning, after a faint lined positive followed by a negative on Friday, and it came back positive, with a clear blue digital! I'm 4 weeks and 1 day pregnant now, fifth pregnancy but 3rd baby and I'm 34 and I feel completely out of breath already and tired, oh my god, I didnt get any of this when I was younger.

Still excited though!!!

Jools1 · 22/09/2008 08:34

Oh Doris - so the worrying, waiting and hoping intensifies for a while ...

When can you have the CVS done ?

DorisIsAPinkDragon · 22/09/2008 08:29

Sorry to here that rh hope the blood test goes ok, when was AF due??

Not really sunk in yet but also trying to keep neutral in the back of my mind as DD2 has cystic fibrosis so have 25% chance that this bean does, hence need for cvs cannot get too emotionally attached as will not put dd2 at risk of cross infection Sorry to depress everyone.....

Hope you all have a good day don't know who's still in with a chance....

reallyhoping · 22/09/2008 08:20

BFN.

Phoned my specialist and she told me to go in for a blood test this morning ... don't know when the results will be ready but will be sure to update you all when I find out

Hey Doris! Has it sunk in yet??

DorisIsAPinkDragon · 22/09/2008 08:09

Just logged on to se if anymore BFP's , now I'm all excited really hoping....... good luck !!!!

And thanks to evenone for the congrats ( I love the new name jools I might give it a couple of weeks before I try it out I don't want to tempt fate!

reallyhoping · 22/09/2008 07:45

Congratulations Doris!!

Sorry about the BFN Waiting ... I know what you mean about wanting to get on with next cycle; that's me all over! Good luck either way.

I didn't log in yesterday as I knew I wasn't going to be testing and didn't want to be tempted.
Symptoms seemed less pronounced yesterday afternoon but still no period so I've got some FMU upstairs, just waiting for it to come to room temp ...

Hope you are all OK today - good luck to those waiting to test and good health to those with BFPs

Hi, sorry if this is too much info but I have just had some blood stained discharge but not like my period and nothing since. Do you think this is a good sign? Possibly implantation?

MsG · 21/09/2008 15:07

Hi there. Congrats Doris!

Anyone else got any good news?

It's driving me mad. AF was due yesterday but it's not unusual for it to be one or two days late - seems to happen every 2 or 3 months. Keep weeing, which could mean AF on way OR pregnant. Had PMT type aches in stomach on Friday and Saturday - not so much today. Don't want to do a test yet. x

Wishing · 21/09/2008 10:46

Arrrrrh...Doris fantastic news , especially after the laugh you gave us all yesterday. Best of luck for the next 12weeks....but am sure you will be fine.

Me, well just tested and got a BFN...kinda expecting it but would have prefered not wasting a test on confirming my fears. Oh well. According to my calculations I'm still in for a june baby albeit the very very end of june. Now just eager for AF to show up so that I can start my next cycle.

Best of luck to everyone else testing this weekend or over the next few days.....

DorisIsAPinkDragon · 21/09/2008 08:33

Was going to wait until tomorrow but i couldn't..........

Got a BFP I had convinced myself I, was then thought it may not be......

Now just have a few weeks to wait till CVS til I can relax and be happy.... (gentic problems with DD2)

Good luck to anyone else testing today!!!

And ahfeckit ( fab name btw) DD's are July and August both great months for B'days!

ahfeckit · 20/09/2008 18:39

congrats cote, on the BFP!! that's brilliant news.

not meant to be for me this month sadly, AF arrived on 17th (even earlier than expected!) so fingers crossed for others too if they are moving onto next month.

DorisIsAPinkDragon · 20/09/2008 16:16

No problams with anyone laughing at me!!! dh was right there with you I thought it might cheer you all up

Did another test later, on the right end of the stick {grin} but still a negative... but I had this with dd1 so am still optimistic (although does seem to change by the minute!

Had very odd smells last night and this morning , last night could smell soot from the fireplace dh (with the smelliest nose in the world said he really couldn't smaell anything! This morning dh's shower gel smelt really revolting tbh it's the smellovision that's keeping my hopes up atm.

Fingers crossed we're all in with a chance until the red witch arrives, fingers crossed and test sticks at the ready!!

PS welcome to the thread wishing and LJ29

CoteDAzur · 20/09/2008 14:44

wishing - I had splitting headaches that lasted for days in first trimester of my pregnancy with dd. Not sure if it was because I quit smoking cold turkey or because of pregnancy itself.

Wishing · 20/09/2008 14:36

are headaches a sign??
