New, combined thread. Welcome all!

Morning all,

Homemama you didn't cause offence to me, i apologise if i came across offended i was just being nosey , I would love a spring baby if i had the choice, not too hot not too cold iykwim and not too close to xmas as i already have dh b'day on xmas eve and dsd b'day on new years day then ds in early feb - expensive time.

Iamblossom don't want to get your hopes up but both of my pregnancies i had period like pains before i got the bfp they say its the uterus contracting or something, these pains started a week before my af would normally have been due.

andyrobo fingers crossed for you

As for me i'm boring no news just coming down with a stinking cold always somebody in the house got something at the moment but its that time of year for it, Alot of my mindees have been off with something or another bless them.

Puppy, thanks for that, I really don't know what these pains are, I haven't had period pains for years so am unsure - to be honest they feel like contractions! although obviously not as strong, and seem to be on one side one minute and the other side the next. Put a T'pax in this morning to prempt AF but nothing so far today.

Normknockers - yes am tempted to test. But keep teling myself to remember what it felt like when it was negative last week (too early then but still) and that I will buy a test and then AF will come and what a waste of money and I should have known etc, and if it's in the house/my handbag I'll use it cos I won't be able to resist etc. Will wait till weekend when AF will surely have arrived.

Is thirst a sign of pregnancy?

Not sure if it is. When I was pregant before i had the longest period pains ever and was taking huge amounts of nurofen as I assumed it was af. But I keep gettign the same thing recently, my body tricking me. Godd luck with the wating!

I got an appointment for the breast clinic next week, which is great cos its so fast but worrying too. You usually only get seen that quick if they are think theres something wrong.

I think being thirsty is a sign of pregnancy-I am sure I kept needing to drink more water from very early on.

Good luck Jane313. Perhaps the NHS are just trying to see people quicker. I know it isn't the same thing, but when I had my follow up smear a couple of weeks ago after my treatment in March, they told me the results would take 3-4 weeks. I was terrified when the letter arrived from the hospital within a week-was convinced it was the bad news and took ages to get the courage to get DH to open the letter. But all was fine. Try to think that it is really good that they are seeing you so quickly.

hi af due sunday, got terrible pains in the left side of my tummy! same pain when me and dp bd! could this be a sign of anything.... done test sunday (just cos it was in the cupboard) was negative! pain is worse and constant than just a normal period? ant ideas? xx

Well still here and no af-but more of a creamy discharge (tmi!). Also had mild tummy niggles so fully expecting af tomorrow!! Not tested - like blossom also agree just hpoing is better than a -ve! Oh well see what tomorrow brings!!

Hi everyone. I'm now on CD29. Not sure when to test as my last cycle was 46 days. Not holding out much hope this month really

Hi all, well 4 days of traipsing to and from Chelmsford everyday and I haven't actually seen the inside of a court room yet. I haven't been picked and the cases keep being delayed! I have spent some time at work but that is frustrating coz they keep expecting me to be fully updated within 10 mins of having over 2 weeks off!! Sorry, rant over...

Well, not expecting AF for a week or so at least. My m/c was confirmed and the bleeding started on 1st Nov so expecting the old bat around 1st week in Dec. Trying to be up about starting ttc again but is so hard when keep thinking that my 12 wk scan should be next Weds etc and where I should be now.

Well, I'm a bundle of fun aren't I?! Hope you are all ok and not suffering too much with snow

Well everyone. I have had a BFP today!! AF still not here, feel knackered and mega thirsty so did a test this evening on a Digital Clear Blue and there you have it!!!!!!!!!

Most disconcerting that it fades away after 40 minutes leaving nothing so I will test again I think. Don't actually believe it!! Especially as my sister has just announced she is pg with her first this morning! Don't want to steal her thunder so am keeping schtum, but if it is true I am due a week before her......unreal.

really sorry to hear that Jen1209
Congratulations IamBlossom

well done iamblossom, what a nice short stay on the thread

jen that must be hard when you have all the dates in your head. I'm doing that to some extent when I meet people who are due when I first started trying and its must be so much harder for you.

my af due tues. Hope it comes early cos I want to know for certain so I know I can have a mammogram or not.

Wow - what an up and down bunch we are - another BFP from Blossom - congrats! And comiserations to Jen - don't know what it feels like but my friend had m/c in August and is now 12 weeks pg so there is hope!
af turned up today - so that sorts me out - atleast I can drink on my works xmas do!!!

Thanks everyone. Must say I feel a bit of a fraud being on your thread for such a short time, but it has helped alot to air my thoughts during the past fortnight so thankyou for that too.

Wishing you all the very best of luck with TTC. Early days for me but I am crossing my fingers all will be ok, and looking forwad to a very sober Christmas period....how the hell am I going to keep it from work when we have our annual Christas drinkathon and I am usually the one under the table? Not a chance...xxxxx

Congratulations iamblossom so pleased for you you could say to work colleagues that you are on medication so can't drink or something like that.

af due saturday, feel totally crampy, sore boobs, and generally run down, took pg test last night just a cheap one from £land and it was a bfn so totally gutted, just hoping that ive tried too soon although with the cramps i think af is going to raise its ugly head! didnt think this would take so much out of me and dp, he was gutted last night when we tested and it was negative just hope it happens soon! had reflexoloy last night and she focused on my ovaries and stuff which she said was supposed to help so looks like uts another month of trying.. well done to all you who got bfp and keep smiling we can do it for those with bfn ... good luck and lots of baby dust xxxxx

aprilgirl, how long have you been trying? I looked on the back of one of those early test kits today and read the small print. They are supposed to show +ves from 4 days before but only in 60% of cases. So your average test wouldn't show +ves when you test early anyway.

2nd month of trying so know its still early days but just thought it would be easy!!! feel totally crampy today so sure af is on its way would be great if i was wrong though!

Got second blood test back and am not ovulating which is paticularly annoying as my periods are so regular. So I will give this thread a miss as nothing will happen now until I see a consultant. Its a bit too much like my real life at the moment as I seem to be surrounded by pregnancy. I just wish I was rich enough to get a private consultation rather than wait months and months.

jane313 good luck huni, hope it goes well for you, i know how you feel lots of my friends are preg at the moment and all have just been a accident ( like he reached over her for the pop one night and wham bam shes pregnant) and heres me 2 m/c and really wanting to fall, good luck do keep your hopes up xx

norms, I had the same result last month so its sporadic ov if anything. I have had a look at the clomid thread but though I would wait until I actually saw a consultant.

Aprilgirl sorry about your 2 m/c. I have 2 friends who had 2 each last year and now are both due early next year. 3rd time lucky!

Congratulations on BFP Iamblossom

Sorry to hear that everyone seems to be quite low at the moment. Hopefully things will pick up for us on here soon.

Haven't been posting much as nothing really to add i'm in the 2ww at the moment. I really hate the waiting trying to kid yourself that this could be the month.

Anyway take Care all & have a good weekend.
