Hello.. Anyone fancy joining me?! I ovulated over New Year and hoping, hoping, hoping to get a BFP in a couple of weeks!

FlorenceB poor you. It is rubbish, rubbish, rubbish. I met a friend who has a two month old baby today (her fourth child) and my tummy just went so gooey with sad feelings.

My boobs were agony with DS1 when I was preggers but not at all aching for all subsequent pregnancies. I wonder if that is what other people experience too. With DS1 I had to sleep in my bra plus bra top and I couldn't lie on my front! I went skiing and every bounce was agony! Never had that subsequently, not even remotely. I can remember jumping up and down to see if it hurt and thinking there was something wrong!

Im still awaiting AF or a BFP! Had another BFN t morning tho I really should hve waited a bit longer. Not going to test for another 2 days. Big hug to all of you whos AF has arrived and big hug to those w BFP! Im STILL feeling crampy/tender around lower belly. Felt pretty crumby yday, had the fuzzy hed you get before you fell sick yday afternoon and even noticed the kitchen towel smelt! Almost hada craving to sniff olbas or peppermint oil like I have done before when preg. still not sure though, its so hard to tell when I havent even hada period yet!

Poor you, FlorenceB it just feels so sad, doesn't it.

Turtle, I have no evidence for it, but it would seem to make sense that you might not get sore breasts if continuing to breast feed while preg. For my first pregnancy my breasts were agony in the first 12 weeks, but the other four pregnancies (2 of which were mc), I don't remember sore breasts at all - probably as they had been used quite extensively over the years!

FlorenceB · 16/01/2009 13:30

I just got my AF... RUBBISH [SAD] [SAD] [SAD]

Just checking in...congrats to the pg ones!
I feel absolutely normal. Not due til Monday but by this point last time my boobs REALLY hurt. Am still bf though, anyone know if that makes a difference?

BeckyBendyLegs · 16/01/2009 12:06

Thanks twiglettini. I had a big glass of wine last night and a cry and feel a bit better today. Here's to next month for all of us here who have had the dreaded AF appear.

Here's hoping your pg twiglettini. No show of AF is a good sign but these AFs are always tricking us!!! Mine was 12 days late last month, I think I mentioned that before, and it drove me to the brink of insanity!

Anyway good luck everyone. I'll send you all lots of baby making dust

Twiglettini · 16/01/2009 10:41

Huge congratulations to the pregnant ones.

So sorry BeckyBL, that's just rotten for you. ((((((BeckyBendylegs)))))

Still no AF, which is really weird as I'm normally very regular 28 days and my last period was definitely over 28 days ago, but still BFN.

iloverosycheeks · 15/01/2009 22:39

BFN, no AF as yet

shoneshine · 15/01/2009 21:44

Thanks everyone! Well my cheap ebay tests arrived and I did one (not with first morning wee!) it was a BFN!!! Does that mean Im not??? Havent a clue when I would be due IF I even ovulated but conception ould of happened on the 31st Dec, 2nd Jan and 4th Jan. When dya think the test would be accurate if it was BFN? Hard to say.....Ive had false negatives before wth ds and dd. Time will tell but Im so impatient!!!Xx

upsyandiggle · 15/01/2009 19:56

congrats sabs1981 and sw. good luck to everyone else. got a feeling that AF will arrive tonight for me .

silentlywondering · 15/01/2009 18:24

Wasn't paying attention as we were not actively trying, just letting nature do its own thing. I didn't want any stress after prev m/c's. When af was late I sort of knew cause of having peen pg before. Main symptom was that my breasts were much more tender than usual.

Sabs1981 · 15/01/2009 17:22

cazza both times for me I have an increased need to wee and feeling tired and sleepy...sorry not too sure about cm...

Cazza28 · 15/01/2009 17:13

Congrats SW I hope some of your luck will rub off on me!

Sorry to hear that Becky, i know that feeling well, been off the pill for nearly two years and still nothing! Although only been using opks for 4 months so hoping this will help me!

Sabs/SW did you have any early symptoms i know this may be a TMI question but what was your CM like a few days after O? I normally have a lot at this time, but have nothing at all!

Thanks Guys x

BeckyBendyLegs · 15/01/2009 16:58

Hi everyone. My AF arrived in Sainsbury's just now five days early. Totally gutted. Although I knew I wasn't pregnant (all the other times I knew and the test was just a formality!) but I don't know why but somehow I thought this month might be my lucky month in a way, even though I knew in my heart of hearts I wasn't pregnant. Too sad to even cry right now. I am so having a large glass of tia maria and orange juice later.

Congrats sw on your bfp! Yeah! I wish lots of luck

silentlywondering · 15/01/2009 16:18

Thank you.

Sabs1981 · 15/01/2009 16:12

congrats silently !!!

silentlywondering · 15/01/2009 16:02

I couldn't wait, I gave in to the voice in my head and tested. I got a BFP. Am going to scuttle over to the sept thread but not coming out of hiding till have told family and friends. Am terrified that it will all go wrong again though.

Sabs1981 · 15/01/2009 15:48

iloverosycheecks have you tested? any luck??

florenceB sorry to hear it was negative...but no AF is a good sign...

beanstalk and shoneshine hoping thats all positive signs for you....

Sabs waves to twiglettini, bendy, turtle and any1 else ive missed! welcome to cazza*

well im on jury service this week, very boring...jus been sitting around, got called up to 2 cases, but then didnt get selected, and then yesterday got selected but the case got postponed as the key witness is ill! dont need to go back until monday

upsyanddiggle i was also meant to wait until sunday but i couldnt wait, especially as like you all my symptoms are similar to AF symptoms...but also feeling very sleepy which could be down to my jet lag and weeing lots more which is a pregnancy symptom for me, but i took a test today (clear blue digital) and it was postitive!!!! took another test (first response again) and it was positive too

You ladies on MN are the first to know after DH...i feel so different from last time...so scared and anxious and not quite wanting to believe it...will make an appointment with GP next weeek if my period definately doesnt appear and then for a 7 week scan at EPAU

turtle23 · 15/01/2009 15:26

Thursday ladies...have you run away to sept thread already?

Cazza28 · 15/01/2009 14:19

Hi all, I am in the 2ww to! Test date I think the 26th January but love reading posts!

Baby Dust to all! x

Twiglettini · 15/01/2009 14:05

Everything is a sign isn't it, in the run up to your period.

BeckyBendyLegs · 15/01/2009 13:44

Oh yes burping is a sign. Wind generally is a sign, up or down.

Twiglettini · 15/01/2009 13:33

ps. maybe tmi, but am burping a lot (in a very lady-like, discreet manner obviously) - please, please tell me this is a definite sign of early pregnancy

Twiglettini · 15/01/2009 13:28

I was sure that we would stop at 3, but now 4 feels like the right number - hoping hoping it is the right number!

Sorry your coffee tasted good, me too, I'm still fine with coffee. Mild cramping gone, but no AF.

Keep us posted everyone...

BeckyBendyLegs · 15/01/2009 13:15

I'm in awe of you TTCing number four people. I'm TTCing number three. I don't think we'll stretch to four, unless I get twins this time around (if I get anything this time around that is).

I had a cup of coffee this morning and...it tasted fantastic! Grump!
