Hey All!
Im currently on CD 20 so around 8-10 days until the AF arrives or I can test :D Just thought there may be some others that are waiting and driving themselves crazy! Thought we could hopefully share our BFP within the next few weeks, and keep each other sane! :D

Congrats ifrustrated :)

I'm still in bloody limbo land. Ive got slight period pains, I don't know if it's just an extra long cycle while my body sorts itself out but I really don't think I'm preg because it would have shown on the test by now.

Snowbeetle · 05/02/2012 10:10

OH WOW!!!!! ifrustrated you have totally made my morning. I came on feeling all discombobulated and now I'm smiling. Grin congratulations. I hope it all goes well this time. Fab news!!!!!

I am due AF today... convinced myself last night I didn't feel at all preggers so had a glass of wine and then worried about it! Hah! Blush

This morning I had a bit of cramp and thought - well that's bloddy it then isn't it... but I would normally be smudging by now if AF was on the way and I'm not so now I'm thinking OOoooOOOHHH????

AF could arrive later today or possibly early tomoz. I'm on absolute pins. Grin

The mere thought I could be though put a spring in my step... Come on next 24 hours!!!!!!!

Snowbeetle · 05/02/2012 10:13

DH21 it is so unfair that you are on a knifeedge for so long - you just want to fall into one camp or another don't you! :(

Milk I hope you are OK just now - you have the worst sort of limbo! I hope you get you get good news - but CrikeyCharlie what a hideous long time to wait. Sending hug and Thanks

good luck everyone who is waiting to test.

milk · 05/02/2012 10:21

Snowbeetle thank you :) 4 days down, 10 more to go...

Snowbeetle · 05/02/2012 10:26

I hope you can keep yourself really busy and distracted, maybe surround yourself with lots of people so you can try to pass the time as quickly as possible. I have everything crossed for you - and that isn't necessarily wise at the moment! Wink guffaw!

milk · 05/02/2012 11:48

I'm just so happy they will discover the truth at 7 weeks... imagine waiting 12 weeks thinking everything is hunky dory only to discover it is not.

Snowbeetle · 05/02/2012 11:50

Oh yes! What a good way to look at it! Hats off to you. :)

milk · 05/02/2012 12:05

Please try not to laugh Snowbeetle, but I don't know if I have a bloated looking bump because I am pregnant or because I have just been greedy with the junk food lately :( lol

Snowbeetle · 05/02/2012 13:59

Or both!!! Wink

I have been scoffing bad things lately too. :(

I am neglecting my diet and will feel bad if I end up blaming that on not conceiving. Hmm. Things are tough at the moment though and it is my way of sticking my head in the sand.

Oh well, I normally eat well so if I find I'm preggers that'll snap me out of it. Fingers crossed and no AF yet.... due today!

milk · 05/02/2012 14:10

I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you Snowbeetle

I find January and February are the worst junk food months :( as in January I am depressed as January after New Year's is so boring! As for February- all that half price chocolate thanks to Valentine's Day :D From Sainsburys a few days ago I bought a box of Guylian shells, were £10, now £4.50 :D and they were so tasty I ended up eating all of them :( lol

I never learn... I now feel sick... is it the pregnancy or my chocolate greed? :P

Snowbeetle · 05/02/2012 14:16

Chocolate greed - sounds like your normal annual event from what you say Of course its the baby - the baby loves chocolate. Grin

ellesabe · 05/02/2012 15:00

Aw congrats ifrustrated!

Still nothing here. I'm now on cd33 and had another bfn this morning. I couldn't even imagine a line this morning :(

I just want af to come now so that we can start again. How are you holding up dh21?

Beeblebear · 05/02/2012 15:24

Ifrustrated. Yippee! That is exciting. I can't remember if though is your first our not.

I'm thinking it's just about time for someone to repost our stats list.. I would but i'm on mobile. 6 more days and counting for me.

Watched another episode of obem yesterday. Some princess lady and hergay husband came in. she waddledin on high heels and an up-do for her hair and makeup all done up, had a water birth and first thing she does after giving birth and getting back in her bed is flat irons her hair! Can we say high maintenance?

DesperateHousewife21 · 05/02/2012 15:52

ellesabe it's depressing isn't it? In an odd way I'm kind of glad I've got someone else in my situation I was starting to worry there was something really wrong with me but it sounds fairly common.
I've read old threads on here where the same thing has happened. They never return to say what the outcome was though.
Are you going to go to the docs at all?

I didn't test today because I got a bfn yesterday. I'll give it til tues and if still bfn and no AF I'll make an app.

ellesabe · 05/02/2012 16:53

I haven't really considered going to the docs tbh. My cycles are still just really messed up from breastfeeding I think. I've only had 3 proper periods since I had dd and the cycle length has been different every time so I'm not sure there's much a doc can do/say. I think I will wait until Tues to poas again too.

Countmyblessings · 05/02/2012 17:12

Huge congrats to you ifrustrated - thats good and yet another one whoop!
sorry for all in limbo DH21 & ellesabe and not knowing whats going on!
can we say snow!!!!!!! yes snow fell and stayed so all is covered like a blanket!
i have chosen not to watch OBEM - its to much like punishment to me!

DesperateHousewife21 · 05/02/2012 17:51

When did u give up bfing? I gave up completely in oct and had a period after 5 days of stopping and have been pretty regular since then but was on the mini pill too.
Came off that mid dec, had period on 3rd jan and that was the last one I had, so frustrating!

ellesabe · 05/02/2012 18:02

I'm still bf once a day so I assume that may be affecting things. I cut down loads though when she turned 1 and started having cows milk so that's when af came back. If I have longer cycles does that mean I ov later than I would with a usual 28 day cycle?

I'm so clueless about this stuff!

Has anyone been watching Call The Midwife?

ConfusedMumDotCom · 05/02/2012 18:21

Hi ladies.

I think I'm out already this month. Dd brought a hideous chesty bug home from nursery on Friday, which she kindly gave to me, so DH and I are too exhausted to DTD. Sad Even so I'm not spared the TWW madness as we SWI on Friday, but I don't think it will be enough as I think I ovulate on Tuesday and there is no chance I'll be feeling in the mood by then!

DesperateHousewife21 · 05/02/2012 18:31

ellesabe im just as clueless! I assume you OV a bit later but it's hard to tell unless you do a OPK.
Well fingers crossed for us, I'll be dtd tonight but more because I want to and if it makes a baby then so much the better!
I'm watching Call the Midwife, I love it Grin makes me even more broody though!

confused sorry you're not well, dtd is never fun when you don't feel 100% hope you feel better soon.

Snowbeetle · 05/02/2012 19:54

Well AF is due today and hasn't arrived yet so I'm trying not to get tooooo excited. I have been 2 days late before and then have it arrive so think that was a nearly-not-quite thing. I don't have any tests in the house so can't poas in the morning! EEK.

DesperateHousewife21 · 05/02/2012 21:10

snowbeetle get thee to a chemist first thing!! I simply must know after all this waiting!

It'll be CD34 for me tomorrow

Ratata · 05/02/2012 21:11

Congratulations ifrustrated !!!

I'm out I think, started bleeding tonight even though only on day 23 of cycle. Assume it's the hag!

Good luck to all xxx

ellesabe · 05/02/2012 21:20

Ooh snowbeetle! Fingers crossed! :)

ifrustrated · 05/02/2012 21:33

Beeblebear- this is our 4th (even though I will always think of this baby as our 5th due to what happened in dec) this baby is going to be my little miracle Smile I'm keeping in a positive frame of mind that it will all work out ok this time.

We thought last year that we might not be able to have anymore due to dh having chemo then were over the moon to fall pg only for it all to go wrong at the 12 week scan.

Our little girl had downs and due to the fluid levels around baby and problems with her little heart we had a medical termination Sad

This baby will be our happy ending. Good luck to everyone still to test Smile
