marthamay · 14/07/2011 12:42

Is it possible to stare lovingly at a piece of plastic you have peed on? Why yes, I believe it is.

Notinmykitchen · 14/07/2011 13:41

Congratulations marthamay, that's brilliant news! Lauraloo hope your squinty line turns into a definite one! Hopefully now the floodgates will open and we'll have loads of BFP's! Been for blood tests today to see if there is any reason I am not getting pregnant, still hoping that by the time I get the results it will be irrelevant as I will be pregnant. 7 DPO today and still driving myself mad symptom spotting. Have sore boobs but not much else, and I get that every month, including when I was pregnant with DS. None of the cramps or bloating I usually get when AF is on the way though so feeling quite hopeful today!

ColleenEatsVeg · 14/07/2011 14:38

Yay marth keep us posted! Testing again in a few days?

ColleenEatsVeg · 14/07/2011 15:09

And Notinmykitchen hope you hear good news, my bloodtest is on the 25th bit hoping it doesnt matter seeing my AF could have arrived (or hopefully not arrive) before I get the results

marthamay · 14/07/2011 15:11

Thanks colleen and notinmykitchen!
I will definitely be testing in the next few days. I have no problems with keeping myself reassured.
Today feel very fatigued/dopey and still have AF-like cramping and a very heavy feeling in my uterus. I think my nips are bigger too, and darker but whilst bf it's very hard to tell because boobs are never in a 'normal' state anyhow.
I feel very excited but also a little freaked out. I'm very afraid of miscarrying again. I suppose there is nothing to be done about that feeling - maybe it gets easier the further along you get, especially beyond the point where you previously miscarried.

1sttimetryer · 14/07/2011 15:58

Hi everyone, Please can i hop on board? Crazy cycles since coming off pill, so unsure of when im due.
Stats:-

ColleenEatsVeg · 14/07/2011 17:26

marth Positivity is on your side. Are you waiting til another test to tell your other half? I can't keep secrets :p

RosyRosie · 14/07/2011 18:51

sigh Still about a week to go until I can test...

I think if it doesn't happen this month I may have to leave it until 2013 :( I'm getting a bit antsy about being able to fit it in with a crucial time with my business :(

BlueCrane · 14/07/2011 20:08

Hello all...can I tentatively take a seat? Had MMC at the end of May and still waiting for AF to return...we've SWI a bit since but have no idea if I've even ovulated or when AF is due! But been feeling v down and PMTy tonight and have v heavy feeling like AF might be starting v soon...and if it does then we can properly start TTC again and hope for an April due date...if AF doesn't come and by some miracle I get a BFP then think I may still be due in April Smile but will have to keep you posted! This is trying for no.1 by the way...

twobecomethree · 14/07/2011 20:26

Hi bluecrane, sorry to hear about your MMC - fx your cycle gets back on track soon.

Marthamay fab news - yay you and the first BFP on this bus!! So pleased - hope that you have torn yourself away from staring at the stick by now though Wink I'm sure that everything will be fine this time round, but make sure you look after yourself and don't stress too much.

RosyRosie I know what you mean about timings - had a crap day at work today because we're going through a big restructure and basically my role will be no more. Really lucky as have 2 other options so I'm not at risk of having no job, one is on a fixed term contract ends Dec 2013 with 2013 being a massive year for the project so if I map to that one then pressure is on for next couple of months conception as otherwise wouldn't have enough time to go back for a year to claim maternity leave and benefits (which are really good). Other role is new but permanent so long term security, there will be loads of work and hassle setting it up over next 6-12 months so not sure how I can ask to map to that one and then, if our TTC is successful soon, announce it at work. Got to decide in next 10 days so I probably won't even know by then whether this month's SWIing has worked :(

So I'm generally blurgh today as I'm so indecisive and I can't discuss with anyone other than DH (no-one else knows we're TTC as think that would create undue pressure and questions) that essentially my decision making is all down to when I think I might get pregnant and not at all down to my career choices!! Confused

Sorry for the rant - hope everyone else is doing ok - anyone else testing soon? Hope there's lots more BFPs to come this month.

Minshu · 14/07/2011 21:17

I think I'd like to join you ladies.

There is no good time to take a holiday or have a baby, twobecomethree -I know that doesn't help with your decision making, but you have to do what is best for you and not worry about work coping with you going on mat leave.

Thanks for the chocolate chip cookies, bluecrane.

I have a beautiful 21 mo DD and would like her to have a brother or sister. Four people I know have become pg recently - two colleagues are due to have their first babies in December, a girl working for me has just found out that she's pg (just back from honeymoon!) and my aunt let on that her DIL has just found out she's pg with #2. So, green with envy and armed with agnus castus.

Minshu (36) ttc #2 AF due 01 Aug (ish)

Summer2008 · 15/07/2011 00:16

ColleenEatsVeg · 15/07/2011 13:38

Welcome carried try amazon I bought the unglamorous looking ones but sooo cheap and good reviews.

lauraloo09 · 15/07/2011 20:23

evening all sorry wasnt on yesterday was at a bridesmaid dress fitting for my bros wedding in 2 weeks then was at a midnight showing of Harry Potter so was kinda busy lol

martha oh thats great news congrats let us know how your further tests go here's hoping your one of the first of many this month Smile

Hi to all the newcomers heres hoping for lots of BFP's soon.

Well I did another ebay cheap test tonight and I swear I can see the faintest of faint lines but DH can't see anything, think it is my mind playing tricks on me. I feel very heavy in my lower tummy area and been cramping like mad got the feeling af is about to start, but it hasnt started yet so you never know, it is the most uncomfortable dull ache i've now had for days. this whole not knowing when af is due is killing me im going out of my mind Sad oh well may as well have a wee half glass of Wine to chill me out

carriedababi · 15/07/2011 20:55

oh thanks for the welcome

i'll have a nose on amazon

lauraloo09 · 16/07/2011 09:41

morning ladies how are we all doing this morning?

I am going out of my mind done another cheap ebay test this morning and I can still see a faint line, but think it is an evap line. I'm cramping like mad, not too sore just a very uncomfortable dull ache still feel very heavy and just generally feel yucky. I just wish either a def positive test or af starting would happen soon just so i can be put out of my misery. do you guys think i should go and get a more expensive test to take i know the cheap tests are more prone to evap lines, not going to touch another glass of wine until I know for certain what is going on with my body just in case lol....so much for me not stressing myself out over ttc this time round hahaha

Muckyhighchair · 16/07/2011 10:16

Morning laura

I in the same boat as you. Im still feeling really heavy, and yucky and even abit sicky in the mornings. No sign of AF so i did a clear blue on thurs, and it came up neg. So really confused! On the box thou it says there is only a 55% chance of detecting early. So just going to have to sit and wait.
