TotorosOcarina · 28/07/2010 11:21

Hiya,

I put August as its a little late for July!

I'm TTC number 4(!)

Due to test on the 15th August but don't think we have much chance this month as its only our first and DH has been ill for a few days and now I've got the bug, so not much romance happening!

So just wonderded if anyone is just starting TTC and wanted to join me?

Hi All!
Wobblewatcher - that all sounds good. Will be keeping my fingers crossed for you on Fri/Sat. Know what you mean about the disappointment with early tests.

My AF arrived bang on time on Saturday Sad but also Smile as it actually means I've got a regular cycle for once in my life. I've also started charting my temps and doing the Taking Charge of your Fertility thing. Much easier than I thought it would be and happier to be actively doing something. On reading it I'm utterly convinced we did conceive last month but that it didn't implant properly.

But the main bonus is I have about a 100 times better idea about when i'm actually fertile. Can't believe I got to 35 (and had PCOS and a child) before I bothered to find out. Ho hum!

love4lady · 16/09/2010 10:07

lol wobble!!

fingers crossed for you for next time gruffolomama x

i have sneaked onto this site at work & trying desperately to hide what i'm looking at from miss nosey who sits next to me!! best be off will check later to see if anyone has news, good luck all x

Wobblewatcher · 16/09/2010 13:17

Mid morning felt like crap-same yesterday at same time. Really weak and as if I was about to faint. Thank god I haven't. Bought a preg test-will do tomorrow or sat...GOOD LUCK ANYONE ELSE IN SAME BOAT

lizandlulu · 16/09/2010 15:04

afternoon all, just checking in before i pick up dd from school. well af was due today, but first thing this morning i did a pg test as i cant stand to wait any longer, and as i wiped there was blood so af has actually come dead on 30 days Sad i am proper gutted as it is my 3rd cycle now. plus it was a waste of a perfectly good test. if i had gone to the toilet first i would have known and not bothered!

goldmaple · 16/09/2010 15:19

Sorry to hear that AF got you lizandlulu and gruffalomama. It got me too... so roll on cycle 2!

wobblewatcher excited for you to test!! Your symptoms sound promising! Fingers crossed for you (and everyone else about to test!)

Wobblewatcher · 16/09/2010 16:50

Sorry, AF is crap.

Well I caved in. Tesco test was positive but then did a FR to confirm and it's negative. Holy crap I'm still no bloody clearer. Someone on other thread told me to buy a super drug one so going to do this in the morning Confused

GruffaloMama · 16/09/2010 21:08

Oh Wobble - how frustrating!!! Hope you get the right result tomorrow! Will be keeping everything crossed for you. Maybe the second test urine hadn't been in your bladder for long enough?

goldmaple sorry to hear that AF caught you too. Hopefully this month will be the one Smile

Wobblewatcher · 17/09/2010 06:13

Nope, another negative Sad

Good luck everyone x

love4lady · 17/09/2010 10:06

Morning all. Did you hear what Jamie Olivers called his new son.... Buddy Bear. Poor boy. Bad initials too BO. Hmm

Wobblewatcher · 17/09/2010 10:18

Faint line, not neg. Have been invited on to ante natal thread but why do I feel so worried???

Yes, buddy, how awful!!!!!!

Mind you, the girls have odd names too...

lizandlulu · 17/09/2010 10:29

wobblewathcer, you prob just feel in limbo. you dont know a def yes or no do you? are you going to wait and do another test?

i actually like buddy, well i dont dislike it, but bear??? thats just plain odd

love4lady · 17/09/2010 12:19

yeah the girls are Petal Rainbow Blossom, Poppy Honey and Daisy Boo. cute names for a wee baby but cant see them on a grown woman

good luck wobble let us know how you get on x

MadKatz · 17/09/2010 14:38

Not been on here for quite a while so thought I would pop in.
Very frustrating times.....temps and cm all over the shop and no real signs, so in my naivety thought maybe its my body saying 'yay you've done it, you're pregnant'
No Chance.
Came on last night.
So here we go again.
I am going to persist with all the test though and I'm even going to buy a saliva monitor (how obsessed am I getting?)

goldmaple · 17/09/2010 15:41

Sorry to hear that MadKatz hopefully the saliva monitor will give you clearer signals. I've thought about one of those myself...

Yay! wobblewatcher Congrats! A line is a line! Just retest in a few days to see if its darker and then hopefully both tests will work.

petitech · 17/09/2010 18:43

Fingers x'd for you wobblewatcher. Everyone else feeling disappointed, don't be too blue... I'm sure it will happen when it's supposed too and in the meantime we can all keep each other company on here. MADKATZ I bought a saliva test thing and fully recommend... also just got thermometer delivered... so have all eventualities covered hehe! Enjoy the weekend everyone and keep :) xxx

chocolateme · 19/09/2010 11:35

Hi all
Not been here in awhile & still NP Sad though this month I am late, 2 days but negative on a 10 miu test dont know whats going on. Good luck every one Smile

Wobblewatcher · 19/09/2010 11:41

Well I'm one, possibly two days late now. Yesterdays test was faint but very noticeable IYSWIM. Not going to test anymore, I'm pregnant, just hope everything is ok. Gonna speak to GP tomorrow and ask if he thinks I should have counselling or something else as I'm very very anxious when pregnant and I know it's not normal to be quite as bad as this. I can't enjoy it and it's horrible and I feel sorry for myself that I can't just make the most of it Sad

Will see what he says. How is everyone else??

chocolateme · 19/09/2010 11:43

CONGRATULATIONS WOBBLEWATCHER Grin Envy x

BabsH · 19/09/2010 17:16

Afternoon,

Congrats WW, hope the appointment with the GP goes well :)

Hubbie and I are finishing off the last of our wedding champers, so no more booze in the house, hard job, but someone had to do it and I am trying to knit a winter hat for myself, but my noggin seems to be a lot bigger than most peoples, so might have to rip it back a bit and make it larger, still its entertaining for a sunday afternoon :)

KLou111 · 19/09/2010 17:30

Hi all, not been on for a while, but been reading all the goings on.

Congrats cowboylover and wobblewatcher can't say I'm not envious!!
On 1st month after coming off the pill 27th Aug. Bought a stack of tests on ebay for around £4.50 for 25, so here's hoping I don't need too many :)
Not had any signs of cramp, sore boobs etc, but no doubt will have some signs when AF is on it's way!
Good luck all, it's great reading about all the goings on x

cowboylover · 19/09/2010 18:10

Hi all!

Just checking in and been enjoying seeing more graduates in the May thread.

I am still feeling good and got to say before I had my lines I would agree that I had no symptons at all so fingers crossed for you waiting. I had a little smile yesterday when I had my ovulating reminder come up on my phone! Grin

Wobblewatcher · 19/09/2010 18:55

Started bleeding a little while ago. Just like a late period. I did know something was up, oh well. I do seem to fall quite easily so hopefully will happen again soon and stick!!

For all those with bfns, let's all look forward to next month!!!

Going to Smile to cheer myself up!!! Don't want any sad faces!!!!!

petitech · 19/09/2010 19:02

Great positive thinking Wobblewatcher :o, here's to the next month everyone! I'm off to sunny Spain tomorrow so hoping some chilling out and sunshine will do some good towards the general baby-making goal. Have a good week everyone!

lizandlulu · 19/09/2010 21:09
