Thread for those fed up of pregnant friends... actually pregnant women everywhere... while they themselves have been TTC for ages or keep having miscarriages.

We bd'd every day from day 12 to day 16 but I am still expecting AF. It's been so stressful (middle of whole house refurb). But have to keep trying as am already 41.

Hi - I havent been on due to work - no ulterior reasons honest - Juicy you didnt kill the thread - maybe everyone is on a communal holiday ?????

Ive been continuing w the acupuncture and definately feel a LOT better so am hopeful about next month - this one is prob a write off as BD was put off course due to illness and wakeful DS - here's hoping for December. Hope everyone is doing OK?

HI RAY!!

how are you doing? how are things on the bus?!! hope you're well and you've still got two blue lines.. if only one could go into a deep sleep for 12 wks and wake up at the other side and be immune to all the worry and waiting and just relax!! hope you're still on cloud line and not too scared to enjoy it.. oh! the relief must be amazing!!! i yelped when i read your post last week and to be honest i closed the computer and couldn't come back to this thread till now.. seems like the usual die hards are missing too.. and i'm kinda worried about pinkmook.. it's so wierd.. we're all here egging each other on and doing our damndest to make it happen and when someone falls pregnant it's such a shock!! Ray you deserve this and by god you've earned it and all the happiness it brings you.. and if you have any tips or advice or hints etc let us know! i'm really pleased for you, wish you the very very VERY best and i'm sorry i didn't say so sooner .. keep us posted as to how you're getting on.. xxx

Did I say I was less pee'd off. Obviously still feeling a bit sensitive

I'm still here...thought I'd killed the thread!

Feeling more optimistic today. No reason. Currently sleep deprived, but definately less pee'd off.

Just wish they'd stop advertising those clear blue - "shows you not just that you're pg, but how you are"

Fuff off, some of us just need a fuffing BFP

Helloooo[onthup waves into the empty echoing room] anyone there?

Congrats Ray!! Great news

Just got an email from one of my NCTers that she's given birth to her 2nd. Didn't even know she was pg!!

Will it ever end??

Congratulations Ray OMG indeed!!! well done - our first success stroy for this thread!!!! Am thrilled for you - buckets of sticky dust coming at you!!! Yay for 'sperm meets egg' plan!

Juicy hello and welcome - everyone's allowed to vent here as I am sure you have seen. I am after DC2 too - had a mc in March and hormones gone doolally since. But as Ray has shown there's hope for us all...

Ray - that is brilliant.
Congratulations. You've given me hope now!!

Hi Guys,

Ontheup you were right i did a test this morn and BFP OMG im pregnant i cant believe it.

It was a faint line but not due til fri so its early which makes sense but was def there i just cant believe it.

Just need to get to 12 weeks now as have had 2MC before at 6 weeks heres hoping this is a keeper.

May I join?

This is how I've been feeling for weeks. Currently am surrounded with people who are pg with no.2

We've been trying for no.2 for 6mths. It took us 2 years for no.1 including one mmc.

Just really pi**ed off.

I hope so too Ray - it sounds like SOMETHING is happening down there I am not hopeful for this month as I am out of the house for work over the crucial couple of days but I am resigned to it - I'm forcing myself not to stress...tried to BD this morning but DS woke up (sigh)

Hi Ontheup.

No news as yet not due til either thurs or fri. am swinging from feeling very positive to feeling very negative.

Here are symptoms or not symptoms.

Normally have sore Bb but not this month.
normally have realy bad backache but again not this month.
Finding it very hard to sleep and keep waking in the night. having very strange dreams. Hot and cold at night with night sweats. have been waking up feeling like i have wet myself which is very strange indeed. Irritable/ no scrap that murderous not normally this bad with PMT.
Foot is swollen wher uterus is which can be a sign (getting myself at it do you think).
toilet habits have changed, not the weeing bit but the other if you know what i mean, not like me.
And finaly i just dont feel like myself, cant explain it but i just dont.
i also keep getting this little glimmer of an excited feeling in my tummy, i was convinced at one point it had worked but kep swaying from hope to depair and swearing that if it hasnt worked this month i will give up becoz i cant take the disappointment anymore and i have nothing left to give i have tried my hardest what more can i do.

I'm glad DH is in a better mood now. Good luck with the next week. me a DH did the OPKS this month and when i had a +ive we bd morn and night and inbetween for 4 days missed a day and then again i counted overall 17 times this month so one of them must have it the spot. Oh dear God i do so hope so.

Any news Ray?? DH is in better mood now so here's hoping for this month for me too...am CD12 so a busy few days ahead How is everyone?

Hey Ontheup,

Whether Dh is in a bad mood or not make sure you do otherwise you'll kick yourself, just jump him he'll be so surprised he wont be able to refuse. He he.

Thanks for the good luck i'm hoping this is my month put this wait is killing me it seems to be dragging so much.

Morning ladies - off to my second acupuncture session today. Not sure whether its the placebo effect but definately had more energy this week since the fisrt session and genrally less 'hormonal'. i have even been out for a run twice this week ! I am 39 in a few weeks so have decided to give myself a present of feeling healthy and losing a bit of weight as its crept on since the mc.

Sadly DH is in a cr@ppy mood as DS has been waking thru the night for the last few days so BD may be a distant hope this month but at least I feel as if I am doing something positive - actually starting to feel myself at last. Good luck ray and big hugs to pinkie. Hope everyone is doing OK this dank and muggy morning...

Oh Pinkie,

what a bummer, although not out until Af arrives in full as could be implantation bleeding !!!!! you never know.

I am hoping i will be flying the flag, have a long wait to go at the mo it should be about 9 days although cant be too sure just have to wait and see.

Good luck hon

i'm off home now yippeeee.

Lots of baby dust to you

Ray,

Unfortunately i had some spotting yesterday and today so am expecting AF in the next few days.

Its down to you to fly the flag for clomid this week.

Hi pinkie,

i have been thinking about you. How are you doing must be nearly time now ay?

Thanks for the positive thinking, i am trying so hard not to get hopes up but cannot shake this feeling at all no matter how many times i tell myself that i am not its still there all the time and i have this excited feeling that i am trying to surpress . I realy dont want to set myself up for a fall as i know that if i feel this way and it turns out to be wrong i will be so so devastated.

It isnt the ankle itself that is swollen its the area below the angle, you know where the arch finishes and it becomes the heel its right before the heel on the arch of the foot. It weird as i have a condition called pelvic venus congestion syndrom and although it doesnt affect fertility it means the veins are large and painful and the ones on my foot where the swelling is and towards the front of the foot on the arch are also. i havent been pressing or rubbing as i thought prob wouldnt be a good idea as the area is so sensitive i just realy realy hope that its a good sign.

baby dust to you too. Good luck in the next few days i realy hope this is your month, how are the symptoms?

HI Ray

Havent said hi in ages.

Be really positive about how you feel.My orignial gynae (looked after me thru 3 miscarriages and birth of dd#1) always said if you feel it you are. Its when the feeling stops that you'll know it isnt anymore.

I always used to "feel" pg before i tested and every time i mced i knew the night before. i would wake up and say dont feel pg and that would be it.

So smile that you feel pg.

IN the mean time, womb and ovaries and tube are located at the bottom of foot across the ankle is your tubes. Dont press or rub

Lots of baby dust

Thanks ladies. I just need a few days to wallow in self-pity. Luckily, I don't know any pregnant women at the moment. Somehow, once they've had the baby, I don't feel as envious. Probably because I still remember the sleepless nights and sore nipples!

Hi Ray81,You don't need the loony bin its perfectly normal to feel this way and revel in it cos whether you are or not you need to be kind to yourself!!
Go with the positive, you never know you might be and its not hurting anyone, least of all you. I'm a massive one for beating myself up over my uselessness and lets be honest if it turns out you're not, you'll be gutted whatever, be nice to yourself, be positive and enjoy the anticipation. Big hugs and fingers crossed.

Oh littlefish, You poor thing, i realy hate it when that happens it tends to happen to me when i think i am being regular and then it will trow me by being like 2 weeks late, the most important thing is just not to get hopes up i think. How depressing.

Ok so ned help guys, do we have any reflexology buffs out there? I was told of this story of a friends friend who tried for 5 years went and had reflex and they told ehr she was PG as this certain part of her foot was swollen, when she did a test she was infact PG. Now i was putting cream on my feet last night after my shower and i promise you i realy wasnt looking for it but notice the inside of my foot on the bridge and just under the ankle is realy realy swollen, now i have never ever had this before as i put cream on my feet every night and have never seen it but its there and i realy dont want to get hopes up but does anyone think it could be a good sign. Come on guys please give me some positive feedback.
Another thing is that i regulary have this feeling for other people when they are PG i always know before they are, not exagerating honest 5 friends i have told now they were pg before they knew they were, i have never had this feeling about myself ever but now i do its there and its telling me a i am i cant get rid of it no matter how much i tell myself im not and it hasnt worked etc this feeling wont go away.
anyone get the feeling its time for me to go to the looney bin.

Oh littefish you poor thing - you must be gutted. Take care

I was over a week late this month - I'm never, ever late. In fact, my cycles have been really short recently. My cycles have been about 25 days, but this month it was 35 days. I was just about to buy a test when my period started.

It's the first time in nearly 4 years that I actually began to have hope.
