Well ladies, its about time we had a new thread, the old one is getting very long. Plus I think we need another fresh start, with lots of positive babydust:

.,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'- .,'-.,'-.,'-',. .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,' .,'-.,'-.,'-',..,'-.,'-.,' .,'-.,'-.,'-',.

Get a big handful girls, i think we all need it.
I was trying to think of something great and positive to put, but this TTC lark is getting us all down, i'm fed up of trying, but we will all succeed eventually, our times will come.

It will be much better for our little ones to have a good start when our bodies are truly ready to carry them.

Afternoon ladies. Sorry not been on all day but ive been in two minds wether to say anything or not after the fool i made of myself last motn

BUT ANYWAY

thismorning when the postie finally arrived i did a test and got a BFP But im still not sure. Ive been to Docs as has been fretting me all day and he says it is a pos reult as well and im not seeing things

However he wants me to retest on my af due date which is Tue and he has referred me to the midwife so we can arrange a viabiltity scan at 6 or 7 weeks. I have majot belly ache and backache which ive never experienced before exept from the mc. he thinks this is normal though as every pregnancy is different. basically hes told me to take it easy and not to worry.

Strike- ta hun. Over the moon here!

cori · 29/07/2005 10:59

morning everyone,
well A/F arrived last night as expected. Am not too down about it, cause I was prepared.

I am off to WOMAD this weekend, so please think of me when it starts pouring with rain.I will bwe in ffield somewhere getting stuck in the mud. Hope everyone has a nice weekend despite the weather.

Bella23, I am with you, am also going back on a health kick. I think it is very important to avoid processed food as well. Hopefully I can restart ACupuncture next, (she has been on holiday) week

strike1 · 29/07/2005 10:57

Excellent news about your biopsy Hellkat! You must be relieved.

HellKat · 29/07/2005 10:56

Xena- you have to lurk here anyway because you can't bear to be parted from me lol . The biopsy ws'nt too bad. Gorgeous colour now though (shades of green, purple and blue) but all closed up and healing well, not sore either. Which biopsy did you have?

strike1 · 29/07/2005 10:52

Morning all! Well we made to the holiday home. But as I'm working I'll still be logging on to find out what everyone's up too. I've just got to read down a bit to catch up. Brought loads of pg tests with me, but won't try till Sunday....well maybe tomorrow! Anyone else...any results?

HellKat · 29/07/2005 10:49

Bella- Please take mine with you!

Morning all ladies.
Well its Friday....Thank God!!
Have been soo good all week and haven't touched a drop of alcohol (very difficult for me as I do soo love a glass of wine).
I may have to treat myself to a glass tonight though. I decided that if I am going to give acupuncture a fair go that I needed to be healthy at the same time so have been drinking lots of water, having all bran for brekkie and generally been very dull!! Very hard I must say but determination is kicking in so am willing to try anything!!

Hellkat - no more talk of AFs....but you've had yours for 5 weeks??? Lord above poor you!!
Mine is being shown the door today and I am not going to be welcoming the old bag back hopefully!

HellKat · 29/07/2005 10:40

Morning all.
Yep Diddle, dp decided high time we got spliced lol. So tempted to let him do all the organising!
Do me a big favour all.... shh about af's! Mine's been here for 5 weeks!! Thoroughly, well and truly, mightily p*ssed off with it I can tell ya! No sign of going neither! Please, someone, anyone take the cow away .
How's everyone?

CHOCOLATEPEANUT · 29/07/2005 10:36

I have never been described as quiet

Is it me but when you are ttc (TMI coming up) do you go through loads loo roll?!

Apart from the bd theres the constant trips to the loo to see if af is putting an appearance in

Diddle · 29/07/2005 10:06

well none of us are very near one another. maybe we should all get a cheapie flight up to scotland and have a good girly day. I bet you we would all be quiet as mice, its not as easy to talk to people face to face about this stuff, we might all clam up. much safer typing, where we ca laug and cry in private

Re meet up - I'm oop north - in Scotland!!
Can you imagine the scenes if a bunch of conception obsessed lunatics like us were to meet up en masse?
Shades of "league of gentlemen" style mayhem methinks!

Diddle - LOL at the in-law proximity for next round of bding!!!

CHOCOLATEPEANUT · 29/07/2005 10:01

I am in the North.Near Rochdale in Lancashire.

Actually managed not to test this morning as AF due sun and after 3 bfn i reckon it will come.Used ov kit and bd like mad on ov day so????

nimum2boys - thats mile away!!!!

Yes its horrible having a date not to lok forward to. I think if i think about it, nothing will happen. So yet again this month i am trying not to think about ttc, yeh right, as if thats possible

OP posts:
nicmum2boys · 29/07/2005 09:33

I'm way down south in Portsmouth.

nicmum2boys · 29/07/2005 09:33

Morning all! Well AF is still here . Really torn at the moment, as it's been 9 days now, and today was meant to be the day she was due to arrive. It's just that it's soooo light, just a few spots when I wipe a couple of times a day (sorry, tmi) my mind is now playing tricks doing the "maybe you are pg, and this is just implantation bleeding". Just wish it would sort itself out one way or the other - stop completely, or get going properly. Am having to try and assume this is just a funny af rather than anything else, as couldn't bear the thought of my body not holding onto another little bean .
Diddle it's so hard counting away the weeks, and what could have been isn't it? My due date was 3rd July and I was somehow hoping I'd get pg this month. Just in my head it all tied up nicely, conceiving in the month my lo would have been born.

lunarsea, yes i think there are q few near the midlands, or even find somewhere halfway beween here and London. do we have anyone up north on here??

LunarSea · 29/07/2005 09:04

CP - I'm going through that "perhaps I should just give up and then I won't be so miserable about failing all the time" thing too at the moment. Not for the first time. It will be 9 years in September since we started trying, and still only ds (who's nearly 4) to show for it. But then I think that if anything happened to dh and I, ds would be totally alone in the world for most of his life, as he doesn't have aunts, uncles, cousins, etc - and I can't stand the thought of that so I have to carry on.

On a more positive note, welcome to Carla, Nic, Shelley - and anyone else new that I've missed.

Diddle - we could do a midlands meetup sometime, there's at least 3 of us not a million miles from Birmingham I think!
