Well I fell off another bus and rather than wait around for the next one I thought I would get another going myself. So have stocked it up with cake, Wine - for the first 2 weeks and Brew - for the 2ww'ers :)

Hoping it will be a lucky bus for lots of us - and I might have a birthday baby :)

Liliana (31) ttc#1 ucl 28 af due 26th March

(I have left out the CD as it is never up to date and all we really want to know is when are people testing!)

I was buying my sandwiches this morning and eyeing up the chocolate too. Probably just general greediness in my case though!

minipie · 07/07/2011 14:01

Don't really know when AF due as I've only had a couple of cycles since coming off the Pill and they've been completely different lengths.

So I'm kind of guessing when to test. Got a +ve OPK on CD19, 24 June, so I guess ov was CD20, so 2 weeks after that is this Saturday...

thanks for the fx! hope your SWI did the trick (and your DH is pleased if so!)

Apologies for dodgy typing am using blackberry!

It's so nice to be feeling the same as all of you but am driving myself insane! I too bought choclate yesterday which usually I never do so could go either way! I put a lot of my symptoms down to not drinking too as the lack of evening calories is defiinitely making me more grumpy in the morning, as is citting down on my coffee intake which is making me feel my exhaustion more.

Fingers crossed for everyone. Shall we do a quick test day round up? Would read back and do it but v painful on this device!

180 af possibly 12th or 13th

Jebel · 07/07/2011 19:05

Good idea 180
180 af possibly 12th or 13th
Jebel af possibly 10th or 11th

Jebel · 07/07/2011 19:06

Sorry to hear what you're going through TCM. It's taken me 2 years to win DH over even though he agreed to start trying 2 years ago. Finally he's on board....

BitsyVonMuffling · 07/07/2011 21:33

Sp

I may have just got the faintest of faint positives. Twice. I went to the loo, cracked open a cheapy, dutifully peed and went off to make a cup of tea, all the while telling myself that I am getting obsessed. And I came back and there it is. Faint but there. So I chuck the cuppa for being too hot and drink 2 pints of water until I can try again (yep, madness.) Pee, take a shower and read again. Faint but there. But now I am so cross with myself Confused I don't really believe the result. Am not sat here having a 'wow, I'm pregnant' moment. What I'm thinking is, I feel like AF is going to come any second. I have cramps and tbh will be surprised if I wake up tomorrow and AFs not arrived, even though I'm not due til Saturday. I also feel odd as DPs away til tomorrow night and he's not here to stare at the pee stick with. I'm not going to call him as I know he's working away and needs his sleep (and so do I frankly). But now I feel so doubtful. I'm going to test tomorrow morning and see if the line is more definately there. I just feel so pessimistic rather than the way I thought I'd feel having spent the last 2 days peeing like a madwoman.

MeconiumHappens · 07/07/2011 23:56

congrats BVM :) will feel more real once youve been able to share the stick with oh.

3dpo here, and bored...zzz

HorseyGirl1 · 08/07/2011 08:42

Yay Bitsy! xx

HorseyGirl1 · 08/07/2011 08:48

180 af possibly 12th or 13th
Jebel af possibly 10th or 11th
HorseyGirl1 AF due 12th

I won't say I'm testing - I'm just waiting to see what happens on Tuesday. I so want to just rush out and buy a First Response today though. Stupid stupid, don't won't to get it and then be disappointed. Think it's better to just wait on AF on Tues. I feel slightly slightly sickish in the morning but I think it's more nerves and worry about AF arriving next week rather than anything else unfortunately. I so want to see more BFPs on this thread.

HorseyGirl1 · 08/07/2011 08:50

WTF has happened to my grammar these days! xx

MyCatLikesToHideInBoxes · 08/07/2011 09:21

180 af possibly 12th or 13th

HorseyGirl1 AF due 12th
Mycat af due 10-12th (maybe)

Congrats BVM - a line is a line Smile. I always expected a wow moment when we were ttc last time but found my bfp a bit of an anticlimax too. I think I'd prepared myself so much for not getting dissapointed if it didn't happen easily that when it did happen I wasn't prepared at all. When we started telling people was when I got really excited and I'm sure it will sink in for you soon too.

Fingers crossed for the rest of us - I think it's gonba be a long weekend for us all!

180 · 08/07/2011 09:40

Wow congratulations Bitsy. Let's hope you are the leading vanguard of the next wave of bfps. Not feeling at all hopeful since my FR BFN. Roll orn tues. Or not!

ThisCharmingMum · 08/07/2011 10:14

Morning Ladies,

Bitsy - Firstly, congrats!!! Secondly, as others have said, the moment of finding the positive line can be an anti-climax. With DS I was in shock but very excited, but with DD, I kind of thought 'yes, the biology worked'.

I got properly excited about DD when I had 3 month scan and then excitement went into orbit when I discovered she was a girl. Best day of my life :) I felt like I had won the lottery :)

Jebel - thank you for telling me that. So I'm not the only one with dithering OH. I am annoyed about respect his right to decide on having another DC, but I do find it hard to deal with the dithering.

Good idea about updating stats:

180 af possibly 12th or 13th
Jebel af possibly 10th or 11th
HorseyGirl1 AF due 12th
Mycat af due 10-12th (maybe)
thischarmingmum af due 12th (maybe)

I am not going to do any tests before af due as I have no symptoms at all. Apart from extra tired,grumpy, stuffing my face, feeling fat and bloated, emotional, etc. But moving house and having huge differences with DH would bring out those symptoms in anyone.

A few of us due on the 12th then...

180 · 08/07/2011 12:37

Obviously weekend of the 25th was a busy one!

BitsyVonMuffling · 08/07/2011 14:19

Well I've taken another test and it's definately a stronger line today, but I still have my head firmly in the sand somewhat. I'm still convinced AF will arrive on time tomorrow as I just feel very premenstrual. For something we've planned and longed for, it just seems completely unreal that this will be dc3. I am having a kind of 'o crap what have we done' feeling atm, but I know from experience I felt that way with the other 2 as well. Dp home tonight, am going to hold fire on telling him I think, which I feel a bit conflicted about, I just feel a bit pessimistic about the line. I bought the internet cheapies as a way to save money, but in typical style will buy a far too expensive one at the weekend and take that result as the correct one.
Thanks for all the congratulations, even if it feels like you're talking to someone else! And fingers crossed for everyone else :)

minipie · 08/07/2011 15:08

Bitsy congratulations! A line is a line. But by all means go for the expensive confirmation Grin

I'm now off the bus I'm afraid. AF arrived last night. Took me by surprise a bit ... cycles are getting shorter each time but I guess that's normal after coming off the pill.

Good luck to all those still on, I'm off to the April bus...

180 · 08/07/2011 17:46

I'm sorry to hear that Mini. Big hugs and good luck on the next bus. Have a feeling I will be joining you shortly!

nandrin · 08/07/2011 20:23

BitsyVonMuffling, I'm feeling pretty much the same as you right now, got a really faint positive on a cheapie yesterday, have tested twice today with cheapies, slightly stronger line but still really really faint, so faint I don't actually believe it and wish I'd waited longer to test as I still don't know if I'm pregnant or not! I'm due on at the weekend so I should hopefully know one way or the other by monday, will test again tomorrow and see if line is any stronger. Good luck, hope you get nice dark bfp soon! :)

180 · 09/07/2011 06:42

I'm feeling pretty Af'fy this morning so we shall see...

Happy Saturday everyone!

nandrin · 09/07/2011 07:25

Just got a BFP! Internet cheapies were still really faint this morning but had an asda one left over from last month so did that one and it came up with a definate line! :)
Good luck to everyone!

180 · 09/07/2011 09:01

Wow! Congratulations Nandrin that's great news!

BitsyVonMuffling · 09/07/2011 14:45

Fingers crossed 180, I was convinced AF was about to arrive as I felt so crampy. Now I'm actually at the day I was due on (and tbh I should have left it to test til today as I STILL don't believe it Hmm) and the cramps have subsided. Very odd. WIll be off out later to buy a proper test, or might actually wait til tomorrow to nip out as we just got home and I am exhausted. I'd managed to forget about the early pregnancy tiredness.

MarathonMama · 09/07/2011 15:04

BvM we're BFP/ AF buddies! I was due on today but got BFP this morning. Feeling very AF crampy so not convinced it's real yet. Also had a mmc in May so feeling very tentative to say the least.

Congrats to all the BFPs!

BitsyVonMuffling · 09/07/2011 15:12

Congratulations! I wonder if you feel as odd hearing that as I did? I am in bed (lazy mare) while dp takes the dc to the park. Am so glad he's home as I feel exhausted, but have yet to tell him. I'm going to say tonight that I'll test tomorrow I think, and then with someone else gazing for a line it'll hopefully feel more real and I can have my excitement. I am dreading the weight gain most of all. I put on a LOT of weight with both dc (thiunk 4-5 stone Shock) and have been back at my fighting weight for a year, after a year of absolute determination. I could just weep at the thought of having to lose so much weight for the third time so am going to try and keep my weight in check this time. WHich is so much easier said than done when the all day sickness comes a knocking and all that helps is round after round of white toast Hmm

nandrin · 09/07/2011 16:49

Thanks 180! Congrats MM and BVM. I tested again this afternoon just to be sure and got a stronger BFP! It doesn't seem real yet! I don't have any cramps at all, in my first preg I felt like I was about to come on up until I was 10 weeks and was puking my guts up before my period was even due, so far I've had very few symptoms so hoping it'll not be so bad.
