One-tubers TTC again....

Thanks. It's so nice to be somewhere where people understand all the weird things going through my head!

Have booked a Dr appointment for Saturday morning, so will see where we go from there.

I checked out the Darent Valley website, and realised it's right next to DH's work (he works in Greenhithe) so it might be convenient from that POV. Since QM is at the bottom of my road, though, I might stick with it - if they're still accepting new patients! I kind of want to face the fear head-on, and going back there would definitely be doing that!

DH's reaction was spectacularly understated - I think "mmmm" was the only word I got when I showed him the CB. He knew we were trying (tho he did ask the other day if the Pregnacare I bought was a contraceptive - the picture of the pregnant lady on the front might be a giveaway!) but I think he's worried about the financial situation. But, we managed when I took 12 months maternity leave last time, we'll manage again! If it comes to that

And of course I'm still thinking that faint line = not good. And that since everything is going well for you boodle that someone on the thread must have a rougher time of it, so I'm convinced that'll be me. My mind is a strange place sometimes!

But how fab if we can be a few weeks apart!

Morning all! Well, I did another Superdrug one last night - faint line. Cheapy internet and Superdrug this morning, both faint lines - but still not dark enough for me, so I cracked open a CB digital - pregnant 1-2!!!!! I got a BFP!!

Can't quite believe it, especially as DH and I only did the deed about 3 times this month, and not at the right time at all - day 7, day 16-ish (and neither of us finished, IYKWIM), and then not until day 23 - how did I get a BFP from that?!?

Now, the big issue is that I fly in 11 days, so need to try and blag a scan before then - which means it's unlikely I'll get to see a heartbeat, but hopefully they'll be able to check it's at least where it should be.

I'm still very much in shock, and trying not to think ahead too much. Guess that means no rum punch or Red Stripe on my hols though - typically rubbish timing on my part, but obviously I'd much rather this than the alternative!

Best of luck Appleton I had a very faint line on first test, we did three actually, all one after the other and couldn't decide. So sent DP out to get a CB,which was difinative. Fingers crossed

Well, I ran out to Superdrug and got 4 of their own brand and 2 CB digital. Used an own brand one as soon as I got back and nothing. But then remembered I've drunk lots of water and been going to the loo more than usual. So I'm going to leave the next one until tomorrow morning, to make sure it's as concentrated as possible!

Still feeling quite nauseous all the time, and my boobs are definitely tender and bigger. I hate the waiting!!!

Ummm, OK so I had the faintest line on a First Response this morning. Not even sure if it was a line. I asked my husband what he saw, and he replied "impatience"!!!

Still nothing on the internet cheapies, which are supposed to be more sensitive. Maybe because I never wait for my wee to get to room temperature (OK, so my husband may have a point!)

boodle - when did you get your first positives. I'm now only 2 days before AF is due, and worrying that if it even WAS a line, not-strong line = not-strong bean

Hope everyone is having a great Monday.

Evening ladies!

scrum hope you're having a fab weekend.

boodle I could fill a book with stupid things my DH has done. I hope you've found some nice replacements if the bag hasn't turned up.

havetowearheels - I wish my DH was that tidy - he can walk past a bag of rubbish fo days without taking it outside. Drives me mad!

We just had a lovely takeaway and I now feel totall stuffed!

Have just been on Facebook to see another friend posting her 12 week scan pics on there - I didn't even know she was pregnant.

I'm having some strange possible "symptoms" this weekend - metallic taste yesterday, felt really, really nauseous this morning (to the point that I had to go back to bed) and a headache all afternoon. AF is due on Wednesday, and I've been doing my internet cheapies which are BFNs - also a First Response last night, again BFN. Not getting my hopes up at all - will just wait and see (while testing copiously obv!!)

Hope everyone's well.

Oh dear Boodle, my OH is exactley the same, he just bins stuff, and is constantly putting stuff away which drives me mad. Am currenly breastfeeding and get all settled, only to find the muslin has gone, my half drunk drink gone, the phone put back in the charger and book back on the bookshelf. He just doesn't understand I need all my stuff around me otherwise I am stuck ! Men !!!

I think your DH needs to take you out shopping, with him paying !

Hi Girls...hmmm to correct lovely misapprehension have not quit drinking for the last year. Instead when I know I could possibly conceive to when I get AF I tend to be sensibleish and make sure don't have any properly boozy dinners/lunches (although with a 2 year old those days are more or less long gone anyway). This weekend is likely to be long boozy lunch at riverside restaurant so am tossing up between saying sod it and just having a few glasses...will prob end up doing somewhere in between....

Also in quite farce like cirumstances husband managed to jump ship for an hour to come home to do the deed...told visiting parents that I had to help him with his slides for his presentation today. Am sure will not be successful but if we are it will have been conceived with me listening to my father sing 'have you seen the muffin man' to be son downstairs. Something I hope will NEVER be repeated. Hey ho...at least we can say we tried this month.

Have a good weekend everyone and special love to Boodle and bean. Very exciting and hope we all join you in the bean club soon. For me, even though the EP was only four months ago it seems like a lifetime ago and equally feel a lifetime away from conceiving again...but new years resolution to be positive so lots of positivity to all of us x

boodle I go 2 weeks on Saturday - I've been going on about it for ages, but it's what is really keeping me going just now - something to look forward to! I just did the ovulation calculator on here, and discovered my first possibly fertile day is the day we travel (a 10 hour flight) - could be interesting!

I had a little lump-in-throat moment this morning. I took DD to nursery, and there was a little baby in her room. She found a rattle from the toy box and gently gave it to the baby. All the adults in the room did a big "aaawwwwwww", and I felt awful! She'd be such a great big sister, and I feel like I'm failing her by not being pregnant yet - it's so ridiculous - she's only 20 months!!

CONGRATULATIONS boodleboot!!!
Fantastic news, enjoy your celebrations!

Thanks for the welcome Scrumdiddlyumptious. It is always hard seeing people who are due at the same time. I had a close friend due at the same time when I had my BO, it was hard but got easier the more often I saw her although the birth announcement did sting.

I'm counting down to finding out whether anything has happened this month. AF due on 28th have so far resisted doing any pg tests (don't have any in the house which helps!) but can't see my restraint lasting another week!

WooooooHOOOOOOOO boodleboot so so pleased for you. So glad Boodlebean is safe. The next scan will be fantastic

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

How many weeks are you now? I can only imagine how relieved you are. Now you have some nice scan memories!! Yay!

Roll on 1 March (that's the day after I come back from holiday, so I'll be back to hear all about it!)

boodle you know I've been thinking of you all this morning. I really, really hope everything is fine.

scrum - welcome back to the thread! Thanks - I am going to enjoy those cocktails. I'm not very good at cutting back until I actually am pregnant - my reasoning is it didn't hurt when conceiving DD! I take my hat off to you for a year and a half of not drinking! I hope you make the most of the day DH is around . Have a fabulous weekend - I had a night out on Saturday, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I never thought I'd get so excited about a meal in a restaurant, but with a 20month DD mealtimes are usually spent trying to amuse her! I got to eat a whole meal without moving from my seat, and drink lots of prosecco. It was lovely!

I mentioned before that at my night out was my school friend who is due on the same date I would have been. It was actually fine seeing her - she doesn't have much of a bump yet. It's her first, so she was asking lots of questions (I was the only Mum in the group). It kind of made it easier as I could talk about my preg with DD and it kind of took my mind off the whole "I should be pregnant too" thing. I did have a few private wobbly moments, but overall was surprised how OK I was.

My internet cheapies arrived yesterday, so of course I did a pregnancy test straight away! Still over a week til AF is due, so don't really know why I did it! I think it's an illness!

Hi Everyone

Sorry have been absent for a few weeks but on the back of my overseas visitor now have parents for 6 weeks so making the most of babysitting and trying not to be antisocial sitting on computer! Been wondering how everyone is going though:-

Boodle: WOOHOOOOOOO that all continues to be well and hope scan went fabulously

Appleton: Have a fabulous holiday and relax and enjoy a few cocktails!

Edwina: Sorry you have to join us but welcome and fingers crossed for you

Everyone else: Good luck this month!

Being hugely busy with guests has stopped me being quite so obsessive but am not feeling too chirpy on baby front right now. Am biting bullet and seeing a good friend who is due the same day as I would have been (she has been back in the UK for 2 months and saw her briefly at a childrens party the day she got back looking HUGE for four and a half months and - secretly in toilet - had a bit of a cry as felt so awful and then felt awful that I felt unhappy for me more than happy for her if you see what I mean)..anyway she is lovely so need to get over my neurosis so will have a nice play date this afternoon and will suck it up. Sod's law peed on ovulation stick and next 2 days are a go for us but husband at work offsite on yacht (this being Australia) so at least one of those days is out which sucks and is hugely bad timing. I feel a bit like we are careering down fertility last chance slide to may when I am 40 so hoping hoping hoping...on the less whiney side we are having our first night away from our 2 year old son this weekend as we go to swanky destination restaurant for lunch on Saturday and stay over with some childless friends...am torn between being good and not drinking and thinking sod it it hasn't worked for last year and a half so enjoy it but either way should be relaxing (although I will be a bit nervous about leaving DS but tis time!). Anyway, long message but love to all xx

Good luck boodleboot!
