New thread..... let's get going!!

Really excited for you nearlydunne as other people have said, a line is usually a line!

JNO18 I get like that too when there's a chance I could be pg. I expect to be like that in the next 2 weeks as I should ovulate next week!

Decided that if I'm not pg by May then I will either be going to a festival or on holiday with DH. I am one of those people who always need something to look forward to. I don't really expect to be pg by May, unless I was really lucky. Nice to have something to plan for other than my non-existent baby :) I think I could quite easily get sucked into obsessing about TTC which wouldn't be a good thing this early on since only been trying since end of Nov :)

Have got my fingers crossed for you nearly. :) Agree with the leaving it for a few days though as then you'll get a definitive answer as any early positive should be definite positive by the weekend. Try not to go too crazy waiting in the meantime!!

I think iv gone crazy already and its only month one and will be month one till af arrives :) or baby
Thank you all for helping me i feel a little silly with my bfp then bfn then bfp again

Welcome to our word of madness Nearly lol!!!

Nope not mental JNO18

Thanks!! Just posted in another thread to say I cracked and tested even tho only 10dpo & it was bfn. Why did I even bother? It's too early! Plus I really don't feel that this has been the month anyway. Not coping well this month at all

Nearl sending bfp sparkles ur way 4saturday!

On another note, the other 2ww before swi fun time is ever so boring!

So funny story... Another girl at work got married around the same time as me was telling me today that they got a new puppy. Well she had told her sister to come over because she had something exciting to show her. Well her sister showed up to her house with a chocolate cake and congratulations balloons thinking she was pregnant! Then her sis said oh your preg AND you have a new dog!?! And my coworker really had to spell it out for her. No. we. Just. Got. A. Dog.

So I guess you don't even need to be the ones trying to symptom spot and get your hopes up. Lol

Gaaaarrrgggghhhh ladies I have pleurisy :( very painful but got antibiotics so hopefully will start to feel a bit better tomorrow, can't spare another day off work, to much to do. I'm also majorly bloated. Air coming out both ends :( bluergh :(

where'd everyone go??!!

sorry rasp thought i replied last night but must have written it then gone to a new page.
How are you feeling now? dont talk to me about bloating i have pretty bad IBS so am generally like that most nights. a fart gets a cheer in our house as it means my tummy doesn't hurt as much

oh no Nearly that made me chuckle but I know IBS is not nice. I thought (or rather doc did) that I used to suffer with it when I was younger and spent many painful hours in the loo crying but I seemed to just grow out of it and I've no idea why. My mum gets it quite badly too so you have my sympathy :( I am feeling much better thank you, tablets are starting to kick in and the pain in my shoulder has almost gone. However, I ovulated last Sunday and I am now starting to symptom spot this month for some reason, I'm usually not prone to doing that so much these days so Im obv hormonal - obv because I am pregnant. lol. I think I may be very disappointed at the end of this month

I have been a hormonal wreck for nearly 3 weeks now... its not as bad as it was but i really feel so sorry for dp there is never a cross word between us apart from when im like this.
Oh i have everything crossed for you i really do :)
If this test is negative tomorrow my af better come soon

Oh yes! Fingers crossed for tomorrow nearly! I've been very snappy today so guessing im getting pmt :( bloody periods. Make sure you post early tomorrow with how you get on!

raises hand another IBS sufferer here. Well I think I am. Due to get more tests soon as I have on going back pain as well as abdominal pains. Have had ultrasound and X-ray of lower abdomen and nothing abnormal. Really had to push to get it done though, docs were just giving me heaps of painkillers. Anyhoo...

I hope you feel better soon raspberry

Fingers crossed for you nearly

Lol beeblebear that story is hilarious!

I'm using ovulation sticks at the moment, not ovulated yet it seems. Think I'm due to ovulate next week. I figured I may as well start using them as weekday sex is proving difficult so would like to know when is best to do it. We are weekend shaggers, weekdays I'm always knackered.

raspberry, I don't want to fuel the mental but my first symptom, and the reason why I tested was that I was SO snappy and foul...just saying! xx

I also couldn't drink a glass of wine last night, had to give it to DH, couldn't even stand the smell. And I've got heartburn. Not getting hopes up though, pretty sure they are imagined, I only ov'd 6 days ago!

Any news Nearly?

Keeping my fingers crossed for you Raspberry.

I'm due in the next day or so. Been tempted to test this morning but my parents are visiting so can't really. Although I don't really feel any symptoms this month so not holding out much hope. Only thing is slightly sore boobs but not as bad as last month ( and obvs I wasn't of then) so I'm thinking jan wasn't our month.

Sorry to hear about the pluresy Raspberry. Didn't know what it was so just googled it and it sounds nasty . What can the docs do for you?

That was supposed to say "obvs I wasn't pg then"

There seem to be lots of symptoms floating around at the mo!! Fingers crossed for everyone :) no symptoms for me but still no af. Feels like its taking forever to come. Any news nearly? Hope its good news :)

There was no line :(

Sorry to hear that. :( horrid getting your hopes up but remember its early days. :) you haven't had first proper af since stopping pill yet have you?

Sorry to hear that Nearly. When we first started trying, the end of the two week wait was always the time to crack open the wine and mouldy cheese :) Got to be some consolation to this lack of baby situation.

Well, we got the HOUSE! Super excited. Went to look around it today and I thought the owner was very relaxed and chatted along with mum & dad but didnt read too much into it. DH thought it was fab but kept his poker face on then when we got outside mum said 'so do you want to live there then' I went 'yeah, would be amazing' and she went 'well, its yours then'. I literally squealed and bear hugged my dad in the middle of the street then went for maccie Ds to celebrate. lol, we know how to celebrate in style.

Then, I get home and I've got a letter from the hospital saying they've brought my appointment forward to two weeks time from end of Feb. Am really happy about that but also slightly worried as they clearly think there is more to worry about with those dodgy results I got than the GP let on? DH said perhaps they got a cancellation? I don't know but either way am pleased I'm being seen a bit sooner anyway although will be so busy packing and clearing the house I suspect February will absolutely fly by.

Def hold off on the test JNO! Leave it til the day you are due if you can. If you are pregnant then you will still be pregnant if you wait a day, if you aren't then you will have saved yourself a fiver. Saying that, I used to pee on anything that looked like a stick in the two week wait so I cant really talk!

Aw raspberry so pleased for you. :) Getting your first house is so exciting, so much to do/plan and really nice to properly put your mark on a home! And try not to worry about the hospital appt, your hubby is almost certainly right and its because they had a space/cancellation.

Thanks littlemiss! I'm sure you are both right, bet I'll book the afternoon off then it'll get moved again. Already started looking at paint colours and new furniture but the thing that's most exciting is the fact that I can finally have a dishwasher. Best news ever :)

Sorry to burst in like this, but I think I may have got a BFP?!

Less a BFP, more like faint agreement, but I've done it twice now and there is definitely a line ... the first time it was barely there at all, and just now it is a tiny bit stronger.

Could it be?

It wasn't done with FMU so I'm confused. Basically I had really weird cramps on Wednesday and Thursday (about 10-12 DPO ... we didn't do ovulation checks so I can't be 100% sure) They were like AF pains but something felt "off" about them. For example, I got that familiar dragging sensation in my thights but also down my arms (!) and the cramps in my lower abdomen when all the way up my back, under my armpits at one point. I came home both afternoons from work, ate a chocolate bar (v. unusual as I don't have much of a sweet tooth - chocolate was my DP's) and just lay in bed drowsing for the rest of the evening. Both of those days I felt dizzy on and off.

Then on Thursday evening DP woke me up because he wanted to make enchiladas and wanted me to help him wrap them (he is notoriously messy in the kitchen) -- I tramped downstairs like evil personified, had a right bitchy rant about him being useless at cooking and how could he wake me up for something so trivial, then dropped a tortilla on the floor and burst out into hysterical tears and sat down on the kitchen floor to have a good old wail.

!!!

Thought that was a bit odd, but nothing clicked. Then last night I got a beer from the fridge (am a wine drinker, but have been having a dryish January and for some reason really fancied a beer), took one sip and felt it trickle all the way down my throat into my belly. Disgusting. Went up to bed, stream of conscious wittering to DP who, bless him, has been a bit scared of me all week, then halfway up the second flight (bedroom is in the attic) it suddenly dawned on me that there might be a sensible explanation for me being an utter mental.

So, drove to Boots this morning and took the test as soon as I got home.

Both in shock as this is the first month we have been properly trying, although we've spent the last four not-not trying. It took my Mum six years to conceive me and her sister, my aunt, is infertile, so I was expecting to be in this for the long haul!

Realise that I am ranting. My head is all over the place :)

elderberry sounds like a positive to me! If its faint and youre not 100% then wait a few days and test then. should be a definite positive by then :)

can anyone tell im meant to be revising? Three posts on here already today!!!
