Thanks everyone. Now begins the looooong worried wait till first scan confirms heartbeat (had a mmc before so won't be celebrating till things are further along).

Best of luck to you all for BFPs very soon.

StealthPo09IsHere · 07/01/2009 20:09

Sorry cake

2manychips · 07/01/2009 18:58

Wow another BFP, congratulations naturelover

Fantastic news naturelover great start to the New Year

girlwithacurl · 06/01/2009 09:42

Congratulations Naturelover thats brilliant news. What a great way to start the new year!

naturelover · 06/01/2009 09:04

After much symptom-spotting and impatience, I did another test (Clearblue this time) when AF was 10 days late... and I had a BFP! I was starting to think I'd stopped ovulating, was coming down with flu, you name it. After 4 neg tests I'd given up hope although I did feel different.

Best of luck to all of you now joining the October thread. And thanks for the hand-holding.

CakeForBreakfast · 05/01/2009 20:49

I'm out I'm afraid. AF arrived with her usual regularity. Not much of a surprise though, I caught the dreaded lurgies mid cycle and was sick in bed alone for a week!!

Congrats to those bfp's, its wonderful news and makes my hopes go up!!

StealthPo09IsHere · 03/01/2009 08:56

plus going to have a glass of champagne as soon as AF arrives as my New Year drink!

StealthPo09IsHere · 03/01/2009 08:55

oh dear aidee
nl, I suppose bf might be messing with your cycle, that's what I'm assuming. I'm currently on day 34, but a test yesterday was -ve.
Am already planning next month

aideesmum · 02/01/2009 09:52

Congrats to all with BFP over christmas.

Well my AF arrived 3 days late on Christmas day

Oh well, here's hoping for sept/oct baby now!

naturelover · 02/01/2009 07:16

Stealth, are you still waiting for AF? Do you have any symptoms?

Well AF is now 6 days late and the (cheapo Boots) tests are still saying negative. So frustrating. My periods have been regular in the four months since they returned (I'm still bfeeding). Could the removal of my copper coil on day 9 have upset ovulation?

I'm bfeeding less and less so surely that is not stopping things? So confused!

I felt like I had menstrual cramps in the two days up to when my period was due, but when AF didn't appear I told myself it was implantation.

Oh well, I must be patient. I'm anything but.

girlwithacurl · 31/12/2008 13:05

sorry for not posting sooner. AF came just in time for Christmas on Christmas eve

Good luck to everyone else and sticky thoughts to those with BFP's!

VJay · 31/12/2008 13:02

Good luck ladies, there is still time left if AF hasn't arrived. Fingers still firmly crossed for you xx

StealthPoHoHoHo · 31/12/2008 10:29

Hope your AF stays away! Mine could be at any time, mid Jan, maybe

StealthPoHoHoHo · 31/12/2008 10:28

With the day I'm having AF will probably put in an appearance in the queue in M&S!
I'm using boots tests too, was hoping my ebay ones would arrive and I'd retest, but thay haven't. I have a First response one, but will hold onto that for now.
(How ridiculous - they're sticks to wee on, but I'm worried about how much they cost / whether I should we eon them!)

naturelover · 31/12/2008 09:56

Sorry to hear that Stealth. But still no AF? So there's still hope? Good luck.

I'm now 4 days late but have decided not to test again until I'm a whole week late. I've wasted money on 3 tests so far (I have one more left of my two packs of two from Boots). I've decided that the cheapo Boots tests are possibly not very sensitive, so I'll wait as long as possible before using my last one.

StealthPoHoHoHo · 31/12/2008 08:53

BFN for me ah well

StealthPoHoHoHo · 30/12/2008 20:32

I'm sorry I don't have any experience of bleeding but surely the whole doubt thing is normal? I know when I first got a BFP I had to keep checking in case it was faint / I'd dreamt it/drawn it on with a felt tip? When I went to the docs I was disappointed they didn't do another test and just took my word for it!
Wasn't till I started being sick that I really believed it.

2manychips · 30/12/2008 20:10

Smiley I'm having trouble convincing myself too. Am feeling kind of normal except for a cold. Dr booked me for a scan next wed because of the bleed so I guess and hope that my little bean's existence is confirmed then.
Lots of luck Stealth.

StealthPoHoHoHo · 30/12/2008 19:10
