Hello all waves madly

Well my body decided to be play silly buggers the past couple of months. On my first cycle TTC, no less! AF arrived today, on CD46. HARRUMPH. Har har good joke, ladybits! Angry

But I am very delighted to see her in fact because I means my two months of confusion is over and I can now get cracking on this shiny new cycle!

Who's with me???? This is a glorious Superlux Superbus (the kind you'd see US presidential candidates rolling about in), with all de mod cons (dedicated champers fridge and shiny chrome margarita blender).


Zara1984 - TTC#1, Cycle 2, AF due 24 Feb

Hi all. This is just to wish you all a fond farewell & send my warmest congratulations to all those with BFPs. The very best of luck with your pregnancies.

After posting on Monday, it was really clear that it wasn't implantation bleeding & having POAS today & got a very unsurprising BFN, that's me off this bus.

I won't be getting on another - I need to keep my head on other things & relaxed about everything, as having a toddler, working as a teacher, selling our house, DH interviewing for various jobs as well as TTC is very very stressful & I can't afford to get too obsessed about the last one.

I'm really disappointed about how things have worked out, as the dates were perfect for so many reasons & I'm desperate for a newborn/sibling for my DD (although accept it can't be helped - its one of those things). Now I have to get my head around maybe not getting another BFP for likely at least another 2 months & what might happen when it does... So, without trying to sound rude, being on MN seeing everyone with their wonderful news might lead to 'that should be me' thoughts :( Envy or even Angry and nobody needs that!!!

Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone to have sticky beans soon, and pregnancies as easy as I had with my wonderful DD, and maybe see you on a 'baby won't sleep', 'colic' or 'TTC#3' thread in the future!!!

I'll drink your health tonight with a lovely big glass of Wine :o

Thanks

Big hugs, chunky x

Zara1984 · 18/02/2012 12:51

Best of luck chunky :) Lovely lovely to read your post :) :) Rotten it hasn't worked out for you, but as you say, hopefully we'll cross paths on future threads!

Thanks all - can't really take it all in yet. I don't know what to think to be honest! I'v got fingers and toes crossed everything goes well and it's a sticky bean, because DH and I are going back to NZ and Australia for a holiday in late March and it'd be so lovely to tell all our family and friends in person (rather than Skype). I plan on getting a private early scan at 8 weeks before I go... just to be sure something's in there!!

Argggh stickle I 100% feel your pain. You're experiencing what I did last cycle! I was 14 days late and about 30 quid poorer from all the tests (all resoundingly BFN) I did!! You've got the right attitude, keep busy and have a few Wine !

Pipbin that stick result sounds very promising!!! Thank you for the boozy reassurance too....

Feel shattered this afternoon, but that's due to me POAS at 3.30am and then not getting back to sleep more than pregnancy....!

Oh my pip that sounds very hopeful! Any pics of the faint line for the jury?

You make me want to poas now! I'll be 6 dpo tomorrow. Darn u temptation!

TuesdayNightClub · 18/02/2012 13:06

Oh chunky I'm sorry to hear you are stepping off the bus for a while. Everything will fall into place in the future I'm sure. TTC is a constant state of limbo though, it can be reassuring just to make a decision one way or the other.

Pipbin · 18/02/2012 13:07

Sorry to hear that Chunky come back when the time is right for you.

I've not kept the stick Zara. I've put it in the kitchen bin to make me stop staring at it.
Also Chunky's post is a salient reminder of the dangers of early testing.

Liege07 · 19/02/2012 09:03

BFP here too..! So exciting and frightening altogether..

Much love and support to you chunky take good care of yourself.

fingers crossed for you pipbin

Happy sunday to you all

Zara1984 · 19/02/2012 13:53

Wishing chunky all the best, it sounds like you have so much to think about now, and I completely understand the issue of MN feeding an obsession. Best of luck x

Congratulations to Zara, Pipbin and Liege! It's been a busy weekend!

Still no news here, no AF and the 7th BFN yesterday so had much Wine

Pipbin · 19/02/2012 16:07

Primal No BFP here! Nothing yet. Maybe you can see into the future though.............

Pipbin · 19/02/2012 16:14

Thought I would update this. Looks like we are all in the two week wait now. Do move yourselves around if you have changed etc.
And Congratulations Liege

Hey, just popping in to say that AF arrived this weekend :( I'm really upset about it, so I'm going to bow out of this thread and stay away from mumsnet for a few days. Good luck to everyone else!

Pipbin · 19/02/2012 16:36

Sorry to hear that Lotus. See you on the next bus?

TuesdayNightClub · 19/02/2012 16:37

Congratulations liege that is wonderful!

I'm really sorry you are leaving us lotus and I'm not surprised you are off mn for a few days. I would do the same - I keep getting super excited that this is our month and I know if/when AF arrives I'll be distraught.

I'm in the 2ww, think I am 6-13dpo, not quite sure, but have had cramping and af symptoms every day since Friday so I'm not too sure what's going on. Good luck to all testers!

cherrypiew3 · 19/02/2012 18:18

CongratulationsLiege, Magneto and Zara Smile

Chunky best of luck.

Floating sorry AF got you.

Think we have dtd right on time this month so I am keeping my fingers tightly crossed. Although we are moving house in a few weeks and I am really starting to feel stressed about everything so it can not be helping.

Good luck to anyone testing in the next few daysSmile

RunningKatie · 19/02/2012 19:36

Best of luck Chunky.

Zara - I carried on running with DD until I was about 6 months pg. then I just cross-trained and swam a lot. I was supposed to be doing the London Marathon in April, but have deferred my place till next year, still don't think I'll be doing it then either!

Cejay8 · 19/02/2012 20:21

AF arrived a day early Sad so I'm out too. See some of you on the next bus perhaps x

roxy31 · 19/02/2012 20:57

My AF arrived on fri after my post :( Really disappointed as I thought this was our month and were both trying not to get too disheartened by how long ttc#1 is taking.

Staying on the bus for support.

Really pleased for all the ladies with bfps this month, huge congrats x

bettergetamoveon · 20/02/2012 09:37

I'm out this month, AF got me. Late OV, spotting, then early arrival of AF. Therefore a short LP. Not good.

Moving on to the next bus with a new plan of action.

Congratulations to all the BFPs and good luck to the rest of you still due to test. Better run and catch this other bus!

Pipbin · 20/02/2012 18:00

I think I'm out too. Spotting is getting heavier and contains clots.

Had my 'day 21' bloods taken today.

PrimalChic · 20/02/2012 20:50

What is it with AF and Mondays? Sorry ladies, will see you on the next bus (or the one after that depending on when the aunt decides to grace us with her presence)

Ah ladies, this is hard work. Wishing I hadn't told my pregnant friend we were trying. Her annoying DP kept asking about it at the weekend and said "third time lucky" a lot, and trying to providing advice like he was an expert in conception. They got knocked up first go on holiday, it ain't rocket science, condescending arse!

Having a nice Brew, always makes things seem better.

bettergetamoveon · 20/02/2012 21:36

PrimalChic, I know that feels when people ask you if you're pg yet. Last time we were ttc I stupidly told a few people. On the 8th month we were at a christening and my friend asked me in front of everyone if we'd had any luck yet. I was just relieved my dh had left the table at the time because he'd have been embarassed. The 'just relax' stuff really got to me too. Bloody patronising Angry I'm not telling anyone we're trying this time!

cherrypiew3 · 20/02/2012 21:42

Pipbin and Better good luck for the next bus.

Well think I am now in the start of the 2ww really hope we have done enough this month everyone around me seems to pg at the moment.

Pipbin · 20/02/2012 21:47

Thanks Cherry. AF isn't singing yet, but I think she is warming up.

PrimalChic · 21/02/2012 09:26

pipbin that's rubbish :( What are day 21 bloods?

better the 'just relax' drives me mad. Told my pg friend that I think I ovulated 2 weeks later than normal and she told me it was because I was stressed. Stressed? Really? You know, I hadn't noticed, thanks for pointing that out.

8th BFN this morning, I should just give up and wait for AF, I think she'll come on Sunday.
