Still here and now hoping for a OCTOBER baby!!! Everyone welcome please join me :)

well pavlov...on the positive side, the spotting and nausea sound very similar to what smallone was experiencing and she got her bfp...but yes could just be AF..sometimes I wonder if these boards are too supportive and we encourage each other to hold out false hope that is actually unsupportive...who knows....either way i hope you get an answer soon and of course that it's the right one

the big question, have you done a test?

forgot to say congratulations Gateau! sticky dust sprinkled liberally in your direction!

oh pavlov, how rotten for you. i dont want to try and convince you otherwise as it might not help you feel any less confused/pissed off. Only thing i can suggest is to attempt a distraction of some kind while you wait and see... don't know if you're at home or work though... maybe curl up tonight with a really cheesy film and some comfort food if you feel up to it, something like that?

hope you're ok anyway, xx

Latestarter - I beleive I have started AF. Feel free to convince me otherwise but as much as I would like it to be implantation bleeding, its not is it . AF signs been here for a few days, bloated, neaseus (sp, never get it right), irritable/hormonal, then had slight back ache which went away again. Yesterday had vague brown spotting, which has got a bit heavier. Now it is like a really really mild period, but not 'fresh' yet, along with some mild stomach cramping. I know I should know whether this one is it, but not had a 'proper' AF for a good few years, and sort of expected this to get heavy quite quickly, but its teasing me.

Congratulations Gateau!!!!!!!

Updated list for Weds, hope it's right, feel free to correct me.

Congrats gateau sticky sticky sticky vibes for you.

Sorry AF got you amanda, good luck for this cycle.

Have any of you had the day 21 blood test? If I ov'd on Sunday as I suspect I won't be able to do it 7dpo as GP instructed, so would you go for 5dpo (friday) or 8dpo (monday)? And why? Have started a new thread asking this but not had much in the way of responses as yet and I need to book the appt this afternoon if poss.

congrats smallone and gateau...............extra sticky vibes for you both

amandahugankiss i had been going to congratulate you for managing not to have a period for seven years, but now might not be the right time! commiserations

any news pavlov...i'm pretty much convinced i'm not pg, so i'm actually managing to hold of on the tests now which is pretty stupid considering i couldnt stop doing them when it was way too early!

Congrats to you too Gateau - hope all goes well.
Just to buck the recent and very happy trend AF arrived for me yesterday. Feel physically lousy - over 7 years since I had a period - time had dulled my memory of just how unpleasant they are.

TTFN

Congrats smallone and hi to everyone else.
I also got a BFP this morning. I am happy, but very cautiously happy, in view of my two consectutive mcs last year. But fingers crossed, legs, everything is crossed for this one!!
Am not joining any antenatal threads until I know (hopefully!) everything is okay.
Good luck to you all.

Thankyou all for all your lovely messages, made me quite teary, blooming hormones!

girl Hadn't mentioned to Dr that I was ttc, they were testing me for gastric problems, which I won't gross you out with here! My colonoscopy appt came through the other day for march so I'm guessing I'll have to postpone it. Hopefully pg hormones will cancel out probs anyway.

Baby dust to all xx

All my signs seem to be saying I ov'd on Sunday, CD15. That's unheard of for me! I usually ov cd19 or thereabouts. Hard to be sure as my sleep pattern has been up the spout since the weekend so temps all over the place, but CM has been completely gone since the weekend, and ov sticks were as close to positive as I've ever got on Saturday (couldn't test on Friday as was waiting for new supply of sticks in post) and have got fainter since to the point of no LH at all picked up yesterday. Luckily we got some BDing in on CD 14 and 15 so hopefully we caught it. I wonder if the 200mg b6 daily has made me ov earlier than usual - here's hoping it works on my LP too now? DH drove home last night as planned but we didn't even bother BDing- both so knackered we just enjoyed him being home on a night he wouldn't normally and relaxed. Joining the 2WW'ers now.

wwwooooohooooo smallone that is great news! Congratulations!
Pavlov - go ahead and do the test! I cracked under pressure this morning from my friend who has just had #3 - ofcourse it was BFN - then I was angry with myself all day!!!
Although still having boob issues - so will only test on Sunday now. ANd thinking back to TTC#1 i tested when I was 3 days late and the line was hardly there...
Thanks for the website info latestarter.
Back at work from tomorrow again so happy happy valentines day all!

Congratulations smallone- that is really wonderful news! Here's to a long, happy, healthy & uneventful pregnancy! Good luck xx

congratulations smallone! I knew we were due some more BFPs on this thread!

small one that's fantastic, I had a feeling you would be!!!

smallone YEY! congratulations and good luck for the next few weeks, and beyond! What great news!

fantastic news - huge congratulations to you smallone.

latestarter, not really sure when due, this is first cycle having had coil removed in jan. between 2 pregnancies, breastfeeding and the coil, I haven't had a period for about 7 years, but they used to be regular 28 day jobbies which would make me due on Thursday.

I knew you were gonna get a BFP smallone, that spotting was too much of a sign! I'm so chuffed for you. Sticky vibes coming your way and I really hope I'll be joining you on the due in October thread in a couple of weeks.

Small thats great news! seems just having the tests helped! were there other problems they were testig for (ie. not just TTC ones)?
Lots of sticky thoughts coming your way!

Smallone that is great news! Dont worry about what has happened to other people, everyone is different.Over a year ago, I also had my scan at 10-11 wks and no heartbeat, but those things happen for a reason. My first pregnancy was great with no problems. Just enjoy it. This time im at 5 wks and i just have to hope for the best . Just make sure DH spoils you rotten!!!! Well done!!!

Hi all, still no AF started feeling nauseaus (sp?) yesterday, gagged when I fed my fish and today it was worse so I bought the cheapest test I could find (£1.29 for 3 strips) while I was in town so I could tell myself it was all in my mind and bugger me its BFP! Can't quite believe it, DH is in shock, I have pointed out that not using contraception for 6 months was going to end up with a pregnancy at some point, but the way he is you'd think it was an accident! Still a bit wary, was talking to someone today who had a scan at 10wks with no heartbeat so that puts things into perspective.

Thankyou for all your support over the last few months, and send me all the sticky bean dust you've got! Ta

Good luck everyone I'll be popping back to check up on you.

i'm on cd 26 amandahugankiss...when are you due?

i'm having similar difficulties resisting the temptation to test - CD 26 today (1st month ttc after coil so not sure of cycle length). sounds like you're all being v patient. have just started to bleed slightly - have quite bad cramps, bleeding isn't heavy (yet) and brown at mo. although i know this is most likely the beginnings of AF, some of me is thinking it could be implantation symptoms.....that little voice is saying " go on....just do a test". am inspired to hang on after reading all this. really hope for positive results for all you patient ladies (and for the less patient of course)

latestarter - don't worry, pedal is not due yet, thats most likely where the confusion is coming from! I said to DH I would wait until the weekend. But I really can't!
Pedal - maybe today then ?

sorry pav maybe i misunderstood, if you are already overdue what are you waiting for - go find that stick asap!
