The continuing adventures of The First Time Frolickers!!!!

morning zippys cross-post! good luck tonight

welcome lipstie i've added you to the list and looks like we are cycle buddies! nice to have you along (good work recruiting claire) and lol at bunny's failed attempts!

congrats sparkly let us know what happens today! we're all dying to get you on that grads list!!!

unfortunately my massive temp rise yesterday must have been more related to the stomach bug i had on sun-mon than ov. today it is lower than low again and i think i spotted more EWCM.... (cue mumnerves lol) had a mini-row with DH on the way to the station this morning and then my fav train that i always get a seat on was packed and i had to stand the whole way. needless to say that i started crying on the train and then had to buy a whole new set of makeup on the way to work so i wouldn't look like a complete wreck. am sick of this already. why can't anything go right?!?! oh well... chin up, stiff upper lip and all that. guess i'll be breaking out the AS undies tonight as this calls for emergency tactics!

Hi Zippys

I am one of Claire's recruits and so pleased she pointed me in the right direction to this thread. Thank you for adding my name to the list and hope we both get to be graduates soon and can get excited properly!

Hi Lipstie, welcome to our little gang. Are you one of Claire's recruits? I have added you to the list, lets hope that you can move to the graduates soon . Sore boobs sounds like a good sign but I know what you mean about getting too excited.

Good morning! I am a newbie that has been recruited to come on this thread. Have read alot of it and it is great to read what some ladies were going through are now on the BFP list!! I believe I have got my information correct but here goes!
TTC#1 Cycle6 UCL28 CD 23

I am busy symptom spotting at the moment!! Have had lots of life changes this past couple of months that reduces working hours and stress levels. I have also put on a few pounds over Christmas and new year and have got sore boobs for the first time in years but as I used to get it before trying not to get excited about it as it could be about weight gain. Really hope to get some of the positive vibes and look forward to seeing more names on the bfp list

Hi guys,

Just updated it again as I noticed mines was a couple of days out.

Congrats to those who got BFPs in the last couple of days.

Ooo, sounds pretty promising, sparkly! Will hold off congrats until you've done another test though (BOUND to be another BFP)

congratulations sparklyrainbow! We're on a roll here!

How am I supposed to get through the next week to ten days? Not only am I really keen to be able to do a test, but it's a strange position altogether, isn't it? In the 2ww, you end up acting as though you're pregnant, just in case, and hoping that you are pregnant, which kind of makes you believe you are pregnant, even when you know it's not that likely... it's like Schrodinger's cat, both pregnant and not pregnant at once - madness!

wish I could type this morning Are we the crazy baby lady cult

Congratulations Sparkly, I will be keeping my fingers crossed that the test today is also a BFP.

Claire I like the idea of recruiting! Are the crazy baby lady cult I think testing on Friday sounds like a good idea. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Eadwater I agree on stripy baby grows someone at work has just had a baby and I got them some, they are gorgous organic cotton ones. Expensive but lovely.

Well last night I spotted EWCM but DP was away!!!! He is back today, so will jump on him when I get home from work!

Hermya I hate winter early mornings, fine in summer when its light but coming to work in the dark and then going home in the dark is no fun. I also feel better I am not the only one with weird dreams

Congrtulations Sparky, another BFP. I'm so sticking around here, it's looking like theres something in the water round these parts.

Worrisome I'm not as super organised as yourself. I know that I would like a white cot and Eadwacer I'm also on board on the stripy babygros.

Fudge LOL at your DP and boob watch.

Claire Recruit, recruit away!!

I hate early mornings, they're no fun at all. I think I've been reading too much pg info on MN as last night I dreamt I was buying big knickers from Marks for my hospital bag. I wouldn't mind, but in the dream I got the things home and decided that the pants weren't quite big enough. Weird!

Evil - I know what you mean about buying other babies clothes, everytime we see our neice we buy her stuff i love it!

Congrats Sparkly! Hope it was a true BFP!

lol at you recruiting for a weird cult claire - I also once linked to us on another thread. I don;t think any of them joined us and noone ever posted on that thread again. Clearly I'm never going to make it as a cult recruiter

Congrats sparkly Let us know how you get on with testing again. Do you want to be added to the grads list or would you rather wait you're feeling a bit more certain?

I've just posted a link to our thread to two newbies to MN and now I feel like a recruiter for some sort of weird cult!!!

Goodness me, another BFP!!! Congratulations sparkly I can understand your cautiousness, come back and tell us how you get on tomorrow

Hi all

Well done Hobnob and MadameG

I got a very faint BFP Saturday 16th (only did one test, definitely a line just very pale, we both agreed). Can't really believe it yet and don't really want to tempt anything to happen as I think I was pregnant 2 months ago and had a very early miscarriage. Still no AF and I have had many, if not all, pregnancy symptoms over the past week and a half (including ridiculously sore boobs) so fingers crossed. Am planning to test again tomorrow, I wouldn't like to become obsessive about such things...

So I may have graduated but not entirely convinced yet...

Thanks for all the lovely messages!

Massive congrats MadameG Claire thanks for the link to the grad thread

kkas thanks for putting my BFP date right

Pidgin yeah weird to think that nearly a yr ago I posted that waiting thread, seems like ages ago now, never thought I'd be here with a BFP just under a yr later!

Righty ho, off to look at the grads thread. Thank you so much for having me, you ladies are wonderful! Hope you all get BFP's soon

Gosh you lot can talk!!! With the time difference here most of the posting takes place while I'm tucked up in bed and then I wake up to pages of posts to read - it's just taken me half an hour to catch up

Congrats to madameG We're having a bumper month for BFPs.

mumnerves maybe you should become the official songwriter for the First Time Frolickers

I laughed alot at the thought of us all queuing up to rub up against madameG! And at day 5 on Claire's nipple watch!

Hermya I love looking a baby stuff. My SIL and a close friend both had babies recently and I just loved picking out clothes for them. They are all so tiny and cute. I'm sure when it comes to my own I'll be really restrained as I think alot of baby stuff is really expensive given that they will grow out of it after a few weeks!

We've just bought a car from one of DH's work friends who bought a pram so massive that they had to buy a bigger car to fit it in the boot. The car we've bought from him is a massive 4x4 so I can only imagine the size of the pram!

I had quite a good day yesterday. We went to see DH's new doctor - he was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis a few months ago and the doctor in the UK wanted him on meds that meant we wouldn't be able to TTC for at least a couple of years . We decided to ignore her as we were moving but I was quite worried that the doctor here would say the same thing.

He was really nice though and said that as DH's only symptom is a sore thumb that we don't need to worry about strong meds at the moment and to have fun TTC . He just wants DH to go back once I'm pregnant and then he can start the meds once we're happy that the pregnancy will be healthy (although knowing the way I worry this would probably be 3 months after the baby is born!)

evening everyone

Yuck - dont you just hate mondays

i still have achey boobs but no other symptoms (unless tummy upset counts?) DP keeps asking about my boobs too, he did make me lol in the kitchen earlier when he asked if they "were leaking" - Bless him, he has read the blokes guide to pregnancy and i think he has got a bit muddled with what happens before\after birth

MadameG wow Congratulations!!! and in your 1st month!!!

Zippy - i think i will hold off testing til friday if AF doesnt show up - at least that way i'll know if im ok to have a drink at the weekend or not

pixiestix - well spotted on the CD - your tummy pains sound promising. Not sure i could hold out til Sunday like you are planning i will keep my fingers crossed for you

addie81 - you sound way too organised picking stuff out - i am incapable of making choices

Evening all

Lol at your big brother voice Hermya and yes, I always sometimes browse for baby 'stuff' online

Eadwacer, I'm also considering making a cot quilt I made roman blinds and cushions for our home, so, will definitely be making some 'soft furnishings' for the baby room.

Eadwacer I know what you mean about not wanting to spend a lot. My friends who have a DD and a DS clothed their children entirely from hand me downs and stuff from ebay and NCT sales. To be honest I'm quite looking forward to taking ebay on with a storm.

I think a cot quilt would be a lovely idea.

Hi all

Hermya Completely agree with the pre-planning/nosying of baby stuff! Lke ady I have cot etc picked out - in fact I have prety much planned the layout of the nursery However, I'm not buying anything yet - tbh I was convinced I'd jinxed myself by buying a couple of pregnancy books (as opposed to conception ones) before I was preggers! Am a bit about the giraffes though!

Oh and eadwacer am so on board with the stripy babygros - sooo sweet!

Chance I used the normal OV kits when we first started TTCing but didn't really get on with them. I think mostly because I didn't like having to cut down on my liquid intake in the afternoon to get a decent result. I've found temping and Fertiity Friend a life-saver though - it helped me to discover I ov later that I'd thought.

Yorkshire I think you and I are going to the clinic on the same day - 29th Jan right? Here's hoping both of our results are good.

MamaG - Congrats! And lol at you doing 4 tests!

drewsgirl I don't know if the Pre-seed has made a huge difference in terms of conception but it really has helped with the slightly strained atmosphere of baby-making! We enjoy it anyway.. And it's supposed to help nourish the little swimmers so it can't be a bad thing.

Pidgin its funny how quickly being relaxed about TTCing can go out the window! Hope your first official 2ww isn't too onerous!

zippys liking the idea of gold stars for BDing - that would make a BFP the reward for a full star chart!!

pixie it's sounding good!! Or at least interesting... Have you decided on testing yet? Oh and I'm in the queue behind zippys! whiteroses interesting what the doc said, it's so hard to keep perspective when TTCing but really 3 months is a very short period of time in the grand scheme of things. Hope you're feeling ok now?

claire lol at 'nipple watch' I wonder if there would be a Big Brothers Little Brother Nipple Watch for that!

mumnerves Liking the song, maybe we should make it the official First Time Frolickers theme song!

evilgiraffe you never know - it could be a long cycle which ends in a BFP!

Hope everyone is having a good Monday!
