**********March 2010 Bus*********** TTC for March 2010, Join me....

teeny grab yourself a glass of vino and enjoy!

Somebody mentioned having some cramps well I've had that too but I think this is normal because the way I see it is the endometrium doesn't know in advance whether an egg will be fertilised or not so it has to ready itself regardless - just in case a fertilised egg floats past! And that's what the cramps are: the lining preparing itself! That's my explanation anyway and nothing whatsoever to do with ttc, symptom spotting or anything else related to pg

flowering definitely test again tomorrow morning and it could make all the difference, fingers very tightly crossed for you...

Missie you are not doing anything that the rest of us don't do! The 'eating like a pig' thing seems interesting though, I did have an icecream AND chocolate last night

Would really love a glass of pink wine tonight, should I risk it? I guess it can't do any harm considering I have had copious amounts of pate this month and what with all the DIY have inhaled/splattered myself with paint & weedkiller more than once. Was also on a course of steroids at the beginning of the month and only found out yesterday I am supposed to be taking folic acid...if there is a bean it will certainly be resilient. Feeling bad now {Promises to be well behaved prospective Mum from now on}

Hope so too, fingers crossed for every single one of us.

No cramps, no more spotting, frantically rushing to loo every 10 mins though. Fingers crossed for you floweringcurrant its sounding good
I'm going to follow your lead teenycalls and go DIY crazy over the weekend, got loads i need to do so it'll take my mind off it. Unless of course the evil witch makes an appearance (mumbling no no no stay away you evil wicked witch). Might test Tues if no sign. (Not holding breath though)BBS extremely sore today and Ive had that shaky feeling when you're really hungry (although eating like a pig). I'm just making symptoms up now arent i?

Lol! Hope so

ok I just worked that out.... durrrr.
see what i mean pregnancy porridge brain already!

Hi Teeny, thanks what does FMU stand for?

I would say that you definitely need FMU to get an accurate result this early (says the woman that's never had a BFP!). If you can't wait until tomorrow to re-test you could try 'saving it up' for a few hours and not drinking too many fluids - that way it shouldn't be too diluted

Hi everyone,
Congrats to the latest BFPs. Its lovely to see so many. Sorry to those didnt or who are in limbo land.
Am feeling hideously emotional tbh.
Am now 1 day late ( never happens) and have several symptoms. But just did a test and it was BFN. Would it have made a difference if I had done it first thing?
I'm confused because I feel like I might be.
Anyone advice on which is best test to use?

PS Sorry for the emoticon overkill! (Write note to self to preview before posting...)

Hi missie I think it is all a test to make sure our nerves are up to the task of becoming a mum

The spotting might not mean anything, or it could mean that you are pg or that AF is imminent will keep my fingers crossed the evil witch stays away!

I have had cramps the past few days but nothing today, thought my nips looked weird in the mirror this morning but could be a figment of my imagination Can't realistically test till Wednesday, not sure how i'll hold out that long...luckily DIY madness at my gaff this weekend so plenty of distractions

hi everyone,

BYM congratulations, fantastic news, so pleased for you! Can i swap seats and sit where you were sitting please?

nanoo twins would be great!

liaghen i'm sorry, have a lovely holiday, relax and enjoy

teenycalls and nancypreg can I join you with the mad sympton spotting, although have been spotting slightly again and now feeling really down and feeling like its just never going to happen to me. My cycles have been 27-30 days for ages now, so why is my body playing these tricks on me?! aargghhh

lots of luck to those testing today!!

nanoo those follicles sound promising and twins would be very exciting!

liaghen you are entitled to feel disappointed when af arrives but your impending holiday could be just the tonic you need - are you going anywhere special?

donttry all the very best of luck to you but do come back and visit if you get the chance!

teeny you are a CD ahead of me so we can symptom spot together!!

Hope everyone is OK - there are lots of ladies on CD28 atm so come on, let's have today's batch of BFPs!

liahgen i'm so sorry you were disappointed, TTC certainly is a rollercoaster of emotions and it's difficult to keep in mind that there will be something at the end of it all that makes it worthwhile. I really really hope that this is the month for you.

I am finding the 2ww particularly agonising this month and am becoming addicted to MN! Symptom spotting galore but think I have convinced myself now that our timing was off this month which may just keep me sane and not get my hopes up too much [looks around to see if anyone heard the obvious lie she just told!]

Delighted for you BYM!

Guess I should slope off to an antenatal thread, so the best of luck everyone and thanks for the laughs!

Hi all,

Been away from this thread for a week as was particularly disappointed about arrival of af for me last week.

So.. onwards and upwards as they say, preggers this month would give me 22 march so may join April bus too.

congratulations to all the bfp's, long my they continue.

Going on holiday Saturday, so hopefully willl come back with more than just a sun tan.

Night all.

nanoo i'm sure you will ovulate, you have all the signs of its impending arrival!!!! no i didnt manage to keep it a secret for long!!! hehee!

BYM that's FANTASTIC news. Having followed you on the bus for some time I felt genuinely happy when I read your post. It's SO exciting. Would love to know if you succeed in keeping it from your man. Keep us posted!

Thanks for all the advice on EWCM - busy weekend for me then!! I also had a scan at the hospital today...and there are TWO follicles of 16mm. So of course I can't stop thinking...twins . Imagine that!

But seeing as I haven't ovulated, nor fertilised an egg, nor implanted etc...etc... I need to stop dreaming!! In the meantime, there's work to do...

OMG Bella congratulations to you! It's good that you tested today because we have a reputation to keep up on this bus - one BFP every single day!!

Fantastic news BYM - Hugh Congrats x

sorry cosmosis about the job, thats really poo

LOM sorry to hear about you BFN, dont give up just yet!!

well you lot with all your crazy testing made me go and test which i said i was not going to do until D-day (sunday i think), anyway saw a shadow of a line on a cheapie internet (had to actually look away to see it, lol), and was like no way totally seeing it. So just peed on a first response and its a YES!!!!!!!!! i cant believe it!!! not going to tell DH if i can help it as i promised not to test til next week and he'll just worry that AF will come, then again i dont know if i can keep it in!!! i hope this bean sticks, i dont know if i can handle another mc.

Hi BYM

No, no, not at all!!! Sorry if it sounded like that ... lol (always sounds worse when communicating over the internet) haha! Not offended at all!

Our day will come

LOL LOL and LOL again at bloomers!

Nancypreg PMSL. I live near a pebbly beach, most of which ended up in me bloomers [winks]
