Am I Pregnant???

Meanmum · 30/04/2003 14:32

I know there are lots of other threads about this but can anyone tell me if I'm pregnant. My period is normally due on a certain date each month as opposed to a number of days cycle. It normally comes on the last day of the month but because Feb was short it came on 28 and then March was a bit wonky and it came on 28 again.

I have therefore been expecting to see some signs that I'm going to have it for days now and have so far done 5 pregnancy tests which all say I am pregnant with absolutely no hint of a maybe in sight.

I still don't have it. I don't want to jinx it as I am desperate to be pregnant again.

Can anyone give me any hope or at least make me be a little realistic and come back to earth.

Tessie - don't lose hope!! It'll happen, just wasn't right this month. But there's always next month and the month after.... soon you'll be the one on the Nausea thread!!!!

Tessie · 13/05/2003 16:30

Seems to have been an awfully long time since anyone had any pregnancy news...:-(
I am still practising a lot and get disappointed each month, confused by my cycle and just generally fed up.

Mum2Toby · 12/05/2003 13:49

Thanks Quackers.

Tessie and everyone else who is trying..... keep hard at it

I'm sure one of you at least, will have some happy news soon!

Tessie · 12/05/2003 13:41

No news from me although am due on on Wednesday/Thursday if my cycle is 30 days again this month...no real obvious signs either way yet and am NOT getting my hopes up.

quackers · 12/05/2003 13:35

Hi there, gosh that came around quick! Glad you came on but sad too cos I know you'd love another but not yet! You can look forward to your wedding day now - exciting!!!!!

badjelly · 12/05/2003 13:13

Tessie, any news yet? It took us a year of trying - it was the month I had changed my mind about the whole thing and only did it once (on his birthday, awww) that things happened.
Everyone else - keep it up!

Mum2Toby · 12/05/2003 12:10

Tessie - Yup...... I'm not pregnant!! Definite comfirmation as of Saturday. Was getting quite worried as I had stopped taking the pill on Monday! It usually only takes 3 or 4 days at the very most to come on..... but at least I did. and a little

At least I'm not going to have a bump at my wedding! I'll be a bit more vigilant from now on. We wnat to start trying for real right after the wedding...... can't wait!!

Thanks for asking.

Tessie · 12/05/2003 11:01

MumtoToby
Any news?

chatee · 04/05/2003 15:47

well here goes for next month too....justincase that doesn't work...i think i'll line up a night away at grans house for dd the following month(a night i wish it cuold be longer!!!!)

bunny2 · 04/05/2003 13:45

Got my period today, boo. Told dh and his response was something about trying harder next month. I suppose all men have the same priority and it is not the same as ours.

Ghosty - are you married to my dh???? He's not complaining about the extra action either but never seems to take much interest in the whole thing. Never asks if I am or if I'm not and when I tell him I quite often don't get an answer at all. I figure my girlfriends and mumsnet give me that part of it.

I often think it is unfair of me to expect him to read my mind, know my moods, cook, clean and cater for me. I still expect it of course but I do have to remind myself that he is different to me and even though he may not show it he wants another baby as much as I do.

Good luck to all of us. If nothing else trying for a baby revives some of the romance that seems to disappear in day to day life.

Meanmum ... sorry to hear that you are not pg this month ... looks like we are in the same boat ... all this planning and hoping and waiting ... does your head in doesn't it???
Bunny2 .. my DH doesn't seem too bothered either and it upsets me sometimes but then I realise that he really likes the idea of 'trying' every month ... he has got more fun in the bedroom department in the last 5 months than he has in the last 3.5 years!!! So he is not complaining IYKWIM! I keep telling him to look at the 'bigger picture' but well, he's a bloke so what more can I say????

bunny2 - at least we're here to sympathise/empathise.

Bunny2 - My friends period stopped for 2 months BEFORE she conceived!!! Her GP was going to send her for fertility tests when she discoverd she was pregnant. She hadn't had a period for 4 months but was only 7 weeks!!

So don't lose hope.... it is possible.

bunny2 · 03/05/2003 00:48

Consolations Meanmum . did a second test today (negative) but havent had a period since MArch 16 so if Im not pregnant something is wrong with me. What really pisses me off is dh's lack of empathy/sympathy. He just shrugs it off. Anyone elses partner the same?

mum2toby · 02/05/2003 08:31

Meanmum .....

I'm still waiting to find out... double

Just need to get down to it again BIG TIME!

GillW · 02/05/2003 08:26

Meanmum - if you're going to buy that many tests, try here and save yourself some money!

jodee · 02/05/2003 08:23

Sorry to hear that, Meanmum. Fingers crossed for you (and Tessie) (and justincase, whoever you are!) for next month. That sounds like the right train of thought - not to get too concerned about it and then hopefully, bingo! We've just started going down the investigative route now for no.2, so hope one of us has some really good news soon.

No luck this month but then what did I expect having done six tests (yes did another last night) which all said conclusively that I was not pregnant.

Got my period today. As silly as this sounds I'm sure we'll be pregnant next month as for some reason I'm less concerned about being pregnant.

Good luck Tessie. There are a few of us trying all in the same position of having fallen pregnant the first time by accident and not finding it as easy the second time. We have to think ourselves lucky as there are women out there trying to fall pregnant who aren't as lucky as us.

I wish everyone the best of luck for next month and hope to hear good news all round.

Now been ttc for 6 months and was bd every day from when my period stopped till when it started again. Now beginning to think that maybe we are doing it too much? Or maybe we should just stop thinking about it and be a bit more spontaneous. Am so broody for a second baby that I think I am becoming obsessed by it all and increasingly worried that something isn't quite right. Fell pg with ds by accident so this is all new territory for me. Every month I just expect it to be bad news now. Not much CM around when I was supposed to ovulate this month which is wierd....
Hope that one of us has some good news to post soon.

Thinking of you justincase and hope your news is good. Keep us posted and good bonking for next month if this month is unsuccessful.

I have changed my name for this just in case dh has a sneaky peek at mumsnet.I'm in the same situation as you mean mum but couldn't make it to the shops today so will have to wait again.Like you already have the dates planned for next month just in case I'm dissapointed again this month.

Thanks for your thoughts. Bought more tests today. Couldn't get to Boots in time so got them from local chemist. Got the Clear Blue again as they have been reliable for me in the past.

I wasn't going to do it until Friday which will be a week late or a 36 day cycle but naturally did one as soon as I walked in the door.

Once again conclusively negative so it's just a matter of waitng until I come on. When I was pregnant with ds I didn't initially suffer at all and even felt like I was going to get my period and I am feeling the same way now but that is 6 tests all saying negative so I just can't see how I am.

I'm saving my last test for this Friday which will be the 36th day of my cycle and I figure if I haven't had it by then I just may be.

I don't want to get my hopes up but just can't help it. Mind you I'm really positive about next month and already planning the "sessions" we will be having. I'll keep you all posted and let you know again on Friday.
