waiting to test...

...was going 2 wait til end of the week 2 test with my 1st response....BUT I CANT HOLD OUT THAT LONG!!!
have taken the advice of someone on another thread i read a few days ago and gone out and brought a couple of superdrug cheapy ones that i can pee on 2 my hearts content (sort of!), and unless 1 shows up as positive (here's hoping) will save more expensive 1 for end of week-or longer IF i can manage it!
so.... here's waiting til i next need 2 go, and will b taking my special little gadget with me...
wish me luck

went to pick up DS and was going to nip in Tesco to get a test, but then the heavens opened and I got delayed and didnt have time, and couldn't face getting him out of the car etc. so not tested yet
IfAtFirstUDontSucceed.. can you pop over here and lend me one of those tests?!!!

sorry I don't understand CD and UCL, can someone explain? oh is it cycle day? what's UCL
I've been trying very hard not to get too intense about this conception, only just recently been checking out this section

BertieBasset · 29/09/2010 19:58

At a guess

CD Cycle day
UCL Usual cycle length

not sure though?

domeafavour · 29/09/2010 20:02

yeah that makes sense.
IfAtFirstUDontSucceed.. you are on same day as me then!

domeafavour · 29/09/2010 20:03

so Bertie, how you feeling?! excited? or a bit stunned. So is that BFP first month of trying?

domeafavour · 30/09/2010 09:25

on day 49 of my cycle, too scared to test! thou having lots of pms cramps im just too exhausted to do anything xxx

BertieBasset · 30/09/2010 17:59

Very excited and stunned Domeafavour! Still not quite sunk in I don't think.

My DD is 13 months so there will be 22 months between them which is a bit scary but I'm sure we'll manage - somehow!

Yep 1st month of trying so really lucky.

Sorry to hear AF on way for you, has she appeared yet though? You might still be in the running?

Hi tashx - well done for not testing, I have no willpower at all! Lots of luck

Thank you broody!!!!

domeafavour · 01/10/2010 09:13

will be lovely having them close together bertie!
AF here now, strangely feel better and DH away next month, so pressure off a bit.

Tashx.. can't believe you have resisted testing!!!

Hello everyone. Been following this thread and huge congrats to those with BFP'S!!!

I used to be on Mumsnet all the time when having my second baby and I am now waiting to test for my 3rd.

I never considered having a third and then DH and I got the urge one night and I happened to be ovulating! I am 7-8 DPO I reckon. Did a test BFN (stupidly this am after going the gym and 2 litres of water so not only was it too early, my wee was clear as well so a bit crap.

DD1 is 10 and DD2 is 6. Bit worried about how I would cope and spending FAR too much reading into peeonastick and fertility friend. Anyone on their 3rd/4th baby??

Mumsnet was great support during my several MC's and subsequent pregnancy. This time 6 years ago I was BFP - I wonder if I will be this time!?? Good luck all.....

tashx · 04/10/2010 18:47

ive got four & would love an fifth x

teetree · 04/10/2010 22:12

How is 3 then Tashx? You must be SuperMum wanting a fifth. Do you get any time for yourslef - daft question!! I suppose the older ones help. My 10 yr old would be a great help actually and in an odd sort of way she would be fascinated by pregnancy!

tashx · 05/10/2010 09:22

hey,

to be honest i found going from two to three a bit hard, cause threes an odd number etc.... which is why i went for four it evens it out a bit lol

but now i would like a 5th so ....

the only time i get to myself is wen they are all at school, & yes its hard but i wouldnt change it for the world!!

ive got three boys & one girl,

15, 13, 10 & my princess is four x

i have a 4 1/2 year old girl and boy who will b 3 in 2weeks, often wonder how coping with 3 will (all being well) be. did u find it harder going from 1-2 or 2-3?if u can remember! i found it sooooo hard the 1st few months, dont want it to take as long to get used to things this time around, but then only time will tell...

Hiya,
I really liked having 2 actually. My DD1 was 4 though and at school so I could concentrate on baba. So, it would be similar I suppose as both now at school. However, I have got used to be able to work etc..! So would be a shock - but I just love the 2 we have and another like them would be wonderful. My DH would have many - but of course it's me that does the bulk of the care! I am also self employed and would have to make some changes there too!! AH
CD 21 - thought not pg today but got that bad taste and boobs a bit tingly - however this can happen with PMT too! How are you all today???

tashx · 05/10/2010 14:29

broody i think i found it harder going from 2-3 cause uve only got two hands so wen the 3rd comes along & the other two want attention it can be hard for a while.

but i found going from 3-4 very easy x

tashx · 07/10/2010 09:59

where is auntie flo then? getting bored of waiting xx day 56

tillyhen · 07/10/2010 14:10

Am pretty new to mumsnet but this thread sounded familiar... We have 2 DS (4 and 1) and after much discussion have decided to go for number 3. AF now 2 days late and getting nervous...

for anyone who doesnt know-when we decided to start trying for #3 a few months ago i went to dr to get coil taken out-in short, its not in my womb, has perforated my uterus and last check was somewhere in my uterus (knowing it has hormones i thought it would still work, until a coule of weeks ago when dr said we have no contraception and 2 use condoms until its sorted)-so was still the chance of being pregnant.
got 1st appointment with consultant 2moro, know i need a laparoscopy, hoping they'll do it soon. wont b happy if its just a check up and i have to wait another 3-4months 4 another appointment!!-then let the serious baby making begin!! (and the pain b over)
