OMG BFP.

On Clearblue test not a cheapie so should be reliable... but should I do a second one to make sure? Only had one so will have to send DH out to the shop in his pyjamas!

I'm seeing my mum and dad this afternoon, is it too early to tell them or should we just go for it, I don't think I can go through the afternoon without the stunned expression I have on my face just now and questions will be asked.

They don't know we were trying but my mum has been desperate to be a granny since I hit puberty well not quite but not far off.

oneyummymummy · 08/02/2009 08:46

alter SNAP! My cycles aren't regular either....bit of a guessing game really! That is probably why I should try Ov kits.

OOOOOOO....you must have tested by now.....fingers crossed.

altagloria · 07/02/2009 21:05

oneyummymummy I will! Getting excited about it, trying to reign it in though given the much higher chance of getting a BFN...

It's possible it's a long cycle, back in the mists of time I remember having quite a long cycle. And it wasn't regular either unfortunately.

Baby dust for all...

oneyummymummy · 07/02/2009 19:49

alter forgot to say.....Don't forget to let us know how it goes tomorrow!

We expect an update as soon as you can see a result .....forget your DP....we want to know FIRST

oneyummymummy · 07/02/2009 19:46

Hi blues and altergloria and broody Yay, more TTC buddies!

Baby Dust to all, Ive tried to update list....hope I got it right

Altergloria TTC#1 Cylce1 CD35 UCL?
Bubblebell1 TTC#3 Cycle2 CD35 UCL???
oneyummymummy TTC#2 Cycle3 CD10 UCL???
fairyanne TTC#1 Cycle4 CD9 UCL29
Blues TTC#1 Cycle12 CD? UCL?
Broody TTC#1 Cylce? CD? UCL?

Any news from ant? bubble have you tested again?

alter you should be able to get a BFP, that is if you did ov two weeks ago? If your not sure then it could be a long cycle after the pill? I hope its not the latter.

broody good luck for April, Im sure I will still be here TTC, so I look forward to us agonising together!

blues sorry to hear that its taking a little while for you. Hopefully the support you will get on here will help you to get a BFP!

altagloria · 07/02/2009 16:57

Hi bubblebell thanks.

I think I might try tomorrow morning with first wee but am convinced it'll be negative cos I don't feel any different!

Sorry you have no AF or BFP either... I guess the body can take a while to sort itself out after years on the pill. Hope it doesn't take you long though, good luck.

And good luck to everyone on here too

bubblebell1 · 07/02/2009 16:51

Hi to fairy blues broody and altagloria good luck and i hope your all lucky soon

alta i came off the pill in oct and didnt get AF til jan 4th. im on cd35 too and no AF and no BFP.. i hope its completly dif for you. if u think its been 2 wks since u ovulated then u can test it should show up

altagloria · 07/02/2009 12:33

Hi everyone, have been reading for a few weeks but this is my first post.

I'm 29 and TTC #1. I was on the pill for about ten years and came off it at the start of December last year. Had one period at start of Jan meaning I'm now on CD35... no sign of AF but I don't know how long my cycle is so I can't say I'm late!

I felt like I ovulated a couple of weeks ago - had a pain I remember from before I was on the pill and cervical mucus changed for a few days. Did BD a few times around that time.

Should I test yet or wait a bit longer? Feel like nothing's happening at the moment,with no symptoms of pg or AF!

Blues · 07/02/2009 12:22

Hi there, I'm new to this. I'm 30 and have been trying the past year. Getting a bit stressed about it now as a lot of my friends seem to be pregnant or already have babies and I'm starting to feel a bit left out. I've started doing the ovulation kits but they didnt detect a LH surge so now I'm starting to panic. Anyone else out there that has experienced this? I'm now starting to think that I'm not actually releasing any eggs even though I do get the signs of ovulation i.e discharge / pains.

broodydoody · 07/02/2009 12:12

Hello, I am 28 and we're going to start TTC in April. Good luck everyone.

bubblebell1 · 07/02/2009 09:06

Hi girls!! ant i hope its good news.. let us know i will be thinking of you

yummy i to dont know if i will ovulate anytime soon. im cd35 with no sign of AF and no BFP. hope something happens soon this is so depressing.

Bubblebell1 TTC#3 Cycle2 CD35 UCL???
oneyummymummy TTC#2 Cycle3 CD10 UCL???
fairyanne TTC#1 Cycle4 CD9 UCL29

oneyummymummy · 06/02/2009 15:10

Hi ant make sure you let us know! Im sure by now it should be a strong line but I think it really depends on each person!

Welcome fairy Sounds like you have got into the swing of things. I think maybe I should invest in ovulation tests, but they are so damm expensive I think I would give up after a month!

I think we should start a new list, I cant find the last one... I'll start it off....

TTC

oneyummymummy TTC#2 Cycle3 CD10 UCL???
fairyanne TTC#1 Cycle4 CD9 UCL29

Possibly Epecting

Sorry can't work out everyone else's, please add yourselves

I have no idea when I mighr ovulate this month, last month was such a weird one, that I can't get my bearings now. Maybe CD18?? Just a wild guess!
How is everyone else doing?

fairyanne · 06/02/2009 13:09

Hi,
Please can I join, I'm 27 and TTC our first baby. I'm now on cycle 4 and am so happy/ relieved as finally an ovulation test showed lines ! I had been starting to think it would never happen as have been on the rollercoaster of interpreting cramps, spotting etc each month without knowing when I have been ovulating. Good luck to everyone I hope it's our month!

p.s. I'm CD9 UCL 29

Antdamm · 06/02/2009 11:10

Sorry forgot to ask, how is everyone else?

When is AF due for all, are any of u on the 2ww??

Antdamm · 06/02/2009 11:09

Hi all,

Ive been hiding a bit, because Im driving myself a bit mad. I have felt naseous (sp?) a couple of times over the last two days - usually late at night/early in morning. So who knows. Will be getting another hpt tonight at the shops - to see once and for all.

Surely, since am 18days late now, if i were pg, it would be a strong positive and not a feint one?????

Anyway, it started snowing again yesterday, so i have been playing in it with my wee boy and the neighbours kids.But the rain does keep comin (its Ireland) and washing some of it away, but its been snowing again this morning. Yay

oneyummymummy · 05/02/2009 18:31

HI EVERYONE! Where has everyone gone....this thread is getting a little quiet and slowing down a lot.

I think it may be because everyone is waiting for ovulation and once this comes aeround, we will all be back on for advice, moaning and hopeing!

Hi josie Good luck, baby dust your way. Is this your first? Where abouts are you?

bubblebell1 · 05/02/2009 13:01

hi josie! good luck trying.. hope you get lucky

Josie22 · 05/02/2009 12:12

Hi - please can I join. Am 29 and in first month of TTC. Feeling rather baby obsessed at the moment as having cramps (not af ones as a week too early) and felt sick this morning. Sure its in my head but...

bubblebell1 · 05/02/2009 12:07

Girls??? where are you?? its lonely in here

bubblebell1 · 04/02/2009 16:19

nope no BFP and no AF hoping something will happen soon either way.. im goin bonkers just waiting

oneyummymummy · 04/02/2009 16:01

bubble still no AF or BFP??

totalmisfit men never really do understand do they! Godd luck and baby dust to you.

ant No snow? We've still got heaps of the stuff here! Infact i cannot even see my road....its just all one white path! It is turning into white ice though, with some cars going over it and compacting it., but my front garden still has at least a foot of snow on it still!

Antdamm · 04/02/2009 14:52

hello ladies,

I too have nothing to report - still feeling no symptoms. Hopefully going to get another test on friday. DP not convinced by previous test.

Im tryin to see if i could get some tests delivered cheaply to ireland, but i think theres no chance.

Hope everyone has been having a good day.
The snow went away yesterday morning and hasnt returned its just cold and a bit damp now

bubblebell1 · 04/02/2009 13:51

Hey everyone... hope your all ok.. nothing new to report here but wanted to say hi and im thinking of you all.. xxxxxxx

totalmisfit · 04/02/2009 13:00

Hi all, have been reading this thread with interest and lots of sympathy - I'm 27 and this is my first month ttc #2.

AF is due around the 13th so i'm holding my breath. Saying that i had a couple of tests in the house and couldn't resist doing one ridiculously early the other day. Got a BFN of course and have been wandering around really pissed off with the world since then.

DH has been telling me not to be so silly but i don't think he understands the pressure we ladies feel when ttc.

oneyummymummy · 04/02/2009 10:21

Sorry katster I hope you get the answers you need, I saw your other thread...I hope people are pointing you in the right direction. Ive never used OPK's so I can't offer any advice but hopefully you won't need any and will have a BFP soon
