July/August baby threads, where are you now? Wishing, Sunnydale, Homeinthesun, Headfairy, Bubble, etc..

Hello everyone!

Sorry I've been absent all weekend, been busy buying cars (yay!!!) We've bought a 4 month old Volvo V50 estate and now i'm feeling really old!! My friend keeps taking the piss cos we're looking to move to the burbs, and we've got a Volvo. Next stop Point to pointing and Barbours all round (argh!!)

I've had the odd twinge here and there, but hell I can't tell so I'm not speculating. Every time I'm completely convinced I'm pg I'm not (or I am but lose it) and every time I'm convinced af is on it's way, I'm pg (but lose it) so I'm just ignoring everything.

Sorry af got you bubble but it's good your cycles seem much shorter than the mammoth 50 dayers, they seem more regular to me now. Is that right?

Issy good luck with the impending start pf IVF drugs. I found out at the weekend my friend is pg with her second through ivf. She doesn't have a partner, her little boy was born last year. He was born very early, at 24 weeks (nothing to do with the IVF) so he's had a lot of problems, but it really hasn't put her off. I hope March 15th wasn't too awful for you, these milestones are really hard aren't they? I passed the date I would have had my 12 week scan last week, which was rather sad.

sif don't worry, you didn't put me off this thread... I rarely get a chance to post when I'm off work, I always make a rule to spend as much time with ds doing nice things, so I can't come on in the day, and then dh dominates the pc in the evenings (grr)

Blue your weekend sounded fab, I hope you enjoyed the lie in and breakfast in bed! I'm on the 1ww with you, so hope you succeed in distracting yourself too

Girl how you doing? did you test yet?

Hello to everyone else, I'm off to spray a quick bit of water over the garden as it's looking a bit parched and it looks like we're going to have a nice week here. Take care everyone xx

Morning girls!

Af got me.... only a 27 day cycle tho... thats the shortest ever. its a bad 1 too. i woke with a migrane and i feel dizzy. but surprisingly im not sad... more trying this month.. and i shall be stopping at the soft cheese and pate aisle sloshed down with some red wine...

good luck to all of you

hope you all had a good weekend?

Im gonna test thurs if she stays away, fingers crossed.

good luck to everyone testing soon

well AF is due on thursday so will test on sat so i know if i can have a wee bottle of wine that night.

what about you bubble? thats if AF stays away!!

When will you test suzi?

blue your weekend sounds fab.

when is everyone going to test?? im excited lol roll on the BFPs

My boobs are killing me today and still having cramps. had an outbreak of spots too AF is well and truely on her way...oh hell the bitch has even got her foot thru the door

hey all

yes my 1ww is almost over, and feeling the same as bubble with all the cramps and stuff... so who knows

i spent yesterday at work and i had 4 women sit in my chair (im a hairdresser) and they all announced they have just found out they are pg.... hopefully it rubbed off on me .

good luck bluesatinsash with the 1ww and to u to bubble

Hey All,

Just got out of bed after waking at 9am [lazy mare emotion]. DS is still at grannies so DH and me have had our Sunday mornings of old, breakfast in bed, morning sex (as opposed to bd) and the papers - bliss!

bubble - its sooo frustrating as AF symptoms and BFP symptoms are nei on identical - grrr.

girl how are you holding up?

suzi - not long now, your 1ww is almost over..

sif - has TEW showed up yet?

I'm now on 1ww territory and have hard week at work which should keep my mind busy .

Not too sunny up here but mild so we're off out for a walk once DS is dropped off.

Later ladies x

i didnt think of that suzi . Im going to test in 5 days if AF doesnt get me first.

have you had a good weekend so far? It so sunny this morn... im going to get my furbabies out to have a stretch in the sun

well bubble...... im not reading into it too much (okay i am), but if u ov day 15/16 and your on cd25 that is 10 days since ov, roughly around the time you would get implantation pains/bleeding if u have concieved tell me to shut up

Hi all,

Girl did u test?

sif did AF get you yet?

did u find a nice new car head?

well i dont think ive hit the jackpot this time. Ive got cramps on and off down below.. can only describe as a bubbles bursting sensation!! hot behind my pelvic bone and twangs on my ovaries (well that general area) and my boobs are heavy and sore TMI alert ive got unusual cm thick and creamy.. not ew.? in like little blobs... Think AF is on her way. This would be the shortest cycle yet.. i checked in my diary when i had mc and im only on cd25 ov was 15/16 (well positive on opk) so still confused but at least my cycles are getting shorter.

fingers crossed we get some BFPs soon

head there is NO way I can wait until 14 DPO. But I haven't given in yet. See how I do over the weekend! Thanks for the info re. pink graprfruit juice, shall try that next cycle!

Hope everyone has a good and chilled weekend!

Hi dudes. Actually in a REALLY good mood today. Great to have PMT out of the way and it was great to have a Margharita and a couple of beers last night. I think that it was the first time that I have properly let my hair down in a while.

head it's lovely to have you back. I had a wave of fear that I had turned the no-freaking-out thread on its head and that I had therefore indirectly forced you to boycott it. Pleased that you are keeping Good to keep busy and not paying too much attention to ridiculous websites posted by silly silly people.

blue your cosy night in sounds lovely. I will do much the same this evening but without the booze as still a wee bit fragile and have a bit of tummy ache [pathetic creature emoticon]

Hi suzi I'm so sorry I didn't say hi earlier. I was still drunk preoccupied with work.

bubble i am pleased that you have so many symptoms . Some of the ones they right are so weird aren't they!

girl I hope you are staying strong!!!!!

I have my fingers crossed for all of you. You are all on the 2ww! I still find it so extraordinary that this thread puts out such strong convent vibes.

hasta la vista and have a lovely weekend everybody xxxx

thanks bluesatinsash, hope u have a good one..... i recently moved to edinburgh... nights out here are fun!! {grin}

to all!

Hi Head - glad you have caught up on your zzzzz and hope your drooling has calmed down . How's the house sale going?

Welcome Suzi - we were on a couple og ttc threads last year, fingers crossed for your iww

girl - step away from the test and heed Head's advice .

I agree with bubble that the 2ww site makes me feel chilled to the point of horizontal [gfrin] although I did have tingly nipples when the water hit them in the shower this morning , I actually laughed out loud to myself in a "oh calm down to a panic" way...

I'm having a nice cosy 'red wine' night on the couch tonight then out for my friend's 38th b'day tomorrow (in Edinburgh, cue lots of Irish types cutting about) but I'm driving as DS is staying at Grannies and me and DH would rather have a good sleep than a good drink!

Have a good weekend everyone x

Loving the red nose day smileys!!!

well headfairy im trying the whole different attitude to ttc aswell, and i think writing stats up has became a habit or something hope you have a chilled out w/end.

how is everyone else doing?

Hello everyone, sorry I ducked out for a bit, catching up on much needed sleep after nights.

Sif, you are evil posting that link, I'm not looking, I'm not looking, I'm not looking... oh ok, I peeked. I was reading the pregnancy after miscarriage one, the woman kept saying she had over active saliva glands and just as I read that I started drooling! Talk about suggestion Anyway, not reading any more Naughty naughty for testing (sorry it was bfn) glad to hear you're feeling pretty chilled about it though, enjoy those drinks this weekend

girl you have to look at my rules, you're not allowed to test until you're 14 days late, that's about 28 dpo for me. Of course, I'll never stick to that myself (hypocrite? Moi?) but if you are pg, you won't be any less pg in a week or so, and if you're not, you won't have wasted any money. I've been drinking pink grapefruit juice (with a dash of orange juice to sweeten it) for a couple of months and this month I've had a noticeable increase in ewcm. I never get any usually, but on Sunday (which is either when I ov'd or just after) I had the most massive amount, so it's definitely worth sticking with in my book. You get used to it too, I had a glass of just orange juice this morning and it tasted sooooo sweet, it was quite yuk! (and I'm quite a sweet tooth)

Hi suzy, I remember you from other threads... welcome! You'll excuse me if I don't add any of my stats, it's part of my whole ignoring my cycle chilled out-ness!

bubble I'm so with you on the whole yo-yoing, won't bore you with every twinge, but I'm all over the place this month. Desperately trying to ignore... We've got quite a busy weekend ahead so that'll take my mind off things. We're test driving cars on Saturday (our old banger is dying) and on sunday we're going to see SIL for lunch (and if it's nice ds can charge around their garden so he doesn't destroy their house, they are mega house proud, the house is immaculate - they don't have children so don't understand just how destructive toddlers can be!)

Hi to everyone else... hope you have a good day. We've just been blown out for a playdate so once ds has had his nap I'm taking him to the park for a play.

xx

thanks sif i needed that!

oh poor you girl
You just have to remember you are still too early so

1. It will a BFN
2. That is a waste of money
3. You won't feel better after you have done it.

i can't take this anymore... I WANT TO TEST!!!
help!!!
