Hugs snowqueenrollo hope it was just too early to get a result.

Congrats to all those with BFP

RugbyWidow7 · 10/12/2010 14:13

Congrats klou - the news you deserve at last!

Hang on in there snowqueenrollo, it's not over for you yet.

I have also been super thirsty at night in bed - I never usually am like this. The other symptoms have subsided though. Af due weds so trying to keep v busy until then!

Good luck everyone x

snowqueenrollo · 10/12/2010 15:14

oh. DP has been quietly paying attention to my cycle - he has returned from the shops with a twin pack pregnancy test.(i didn't tell him i was testing today, if BFN i just keep quiet until AF shows up) I said i'm either pregnant or my body is up the creek again and he wrapped me in a big hug and said 'i want it to be the first, if it's the second it doesn't change the fact that I adore you'

I managed to hold my tears because DS was wandering about and he gets distressed if i'm upset.

So i'll test in the morning with FMU and see what happens.

Good Luck for weds rugby hope you get good news.

KLou111 · 10/12/2010 15:22

Queenrollo so sorry about the BFN. Remember though, I was due AF on 30 November and didn't get a BFP til this morning on CD39 so don't give up until the bloody witch arrives!!

Eskarina · 10/12/2010 16:45

Snowqueen sorry for BFN. It's not over til it's over though.

KLou Congratulations!

I tested again just now. BFP definitely still there and is much more definite than last time - splashed out and used one of my stash of clearblue non-digis I bought by accident last month. I bought a digi yesterady and will do it when DH is around tomorrow or sunday as he doesn't believe me yet!

I'm going to have to start accepting that this is really happening soon

MrsP81 · 10/12/2010 18:36

Big hugs to everyone! The waiting is impossible - I hate it. Thank goodness for venting on MN though. Imagine what it would be like if you couldn't speak about it???

Congrats to ALL the BFPs too. KLou - you have to win first prize for getting the most feeling into that post. I was quaking with adrenalin on your behalf Smile.

My top tip for TTC is to SWI (think this is the right acronym?) AT LEAST every 3 days. The little swimmers last quite a long time so if you do that for your entire cycle you have a really good chance. When we were TTC first time we were at it for almost a year and it wasn't till I tried it this way that it worked. I've stuck with it ever since and it hasn't failed me!

HmRo · 10/12/2010 22:31

Eskarin love your patience of waiting till weekend with DH! Congrats again Smile

northeastmummy any to tip for SWI at least every 3 days interesting and successful.

not sure if slummed in front of TV quietly loving the Friday Strictly got him in the mood, he was asleep before the second contestant was on Grin

lindy100 · 11/12/2010 04:18

Thanks for the messages, peeps!

And congrats to KLou and keeping fingers firmly crossed for SQR.

Mrsden, tbh it's a difficult one to say much useful about how I knew. I am a total control freak, and since I got pg on 1st cycle last time (and am a teacher so want a baby at a certain time of the year!) I was fully expecing it to be positive first time round. I'm one of those people who 'knew' Hmm - though I'm aware that many people 'know' and are wrong :(

Having said that, I did think I felt some moving and stretching in my groin muscle area - I've heard second time around it all happens quicker, and I suppose I know what to listen out for.

Though no really strong symptoms until 4am the day I was actually due on (Thurs). And now I feel like complete cack and have done ever since Thurs morning.

I tested because I felt crampy, dizzy, nauseous and sobbed when Jack Duckworth's death scene was shown on This Morning.

In terms of getting the SWI right, I think we were lucky - I knew when to do it but am rapidly coming to the conclusion that DH only has to look at me if it's the right time and I'm upduffed Blush.

Good luck to everyone still to test.

snowqueenrollo · 11/12/2010 08:48

BFN this morning ladies and I've got rotten crampy feelings now so thinking AF may show up today Sad

snowqueenrollo · 11/12/2010 09:43

Ok that's me well and truly off the August bus.AF here with a vengeance. I feel utterly dreadful and it's very painful.

DP and i had a little cry together, he announced (lightheartedly) that we could well do without another August birthday in the family anyway. Then squeezed my hand and said 'GP together in the new year'

This is so different from when I was with my ex who was not interested in any aspect of TTC beyond the SWI Hmm. Being able to share this with DP is making it much easier to deal with, and it's great that i'm not going to have to drag him to the Dr.

Well done to those who got lucky on this bus, good luck to those still waiting.

MrsP81 · 11/12/2010 10:02

Sorry AF got you snowqueen. Glad that it sounds like you have a very supportive DP though.

I too am off this bus. AF hasn't actually arrived yet but is definitely on the way (headache, cramps, temperature drop).

I'm going to hang out here for a while to keep the remaining few passengers company if they don't mind. Good luck!

ravenlocks · 11/12/2010 10:03

Sorry snowqueen, sounds like you have a gem of a DP there.

Good luck for a Sept baby, no doubt see you on the Sept bus.
xx

ravenlocks · 11/12/2010 10:05

Yeah MrsP keep us companay! Hope AF doesn't arrive for you.

fel1x · 11/12/2010 10:40

Sorry to hear that snow. What a gem of a DP you have though. Goood luck for your Drs appt and with the Sep bus.

I am still in a state of not knowing. AF was due yesterday and hasnt arrived yet.
I did another one of my cheap ebay tests this morning and there was a faint line. I waved it in front of DHs face (while he was making breakfast lol) and said 'how many lines can you see?' he said '2' so the second line is def visible even though v faint.
It is from the same batch of tests that I'm not sure are accurate though as got weird results off them yesterday.

Will try and buy a supermarket test this weekend if af doesnt turn up and see what that says I think! Watch this space!

fel1x · 11/12/2010 14:38

Update from me...
Did a clearblue digital lunch time and it says pregnant!!!!
So that's a bfp for me. So excited!!!
