Due to the luck thread starters have, I thought I'd mark a place for the second thread as we are so chatty!

Here's to BFPs for us all :-)

Ugh obvs meant pram not peak.

Pinkie29 · 10/06/2012 08:21

Hmm I'd say my only symptoms are sore and bigger boobs, raging hunger feeling lethargic a lot and waking up at 05:30 everyday!! Also finding it difficult to nod off! I felt slightly queasy a couple of times yesterday but it went very quickly, other than that just slight cramps and backache

Pinkie29 · 10/06/2012 08:22

Oh and I want a Silvercross! Tho dp isn't impressed and they aren't 'built for the modern world' haha

KickTheGuru · 10/06/2012 08:32

"only" symptoms?

My hayfever gets worse in the morning. I have had jelly and now sucking on an ice lolly. Jelly is where its at!!

Munching antihistamines and hating all the blood in my nose. Tired and nauseous if i try eat anything remotely dry. Nearly vomited into our bowl of fruit smoothie juice last night.

And no. I am not pregnant. So says internet cheapie i did this morning

Pinkie29 · 10/06/2012 08:42

Are they symptoms?!

KickTheGuru · 10/06/2012 08:46

Of severe allergic reaction, yes

My heart rate is scaring me

KickTheGuru · 10/06/2012 08:47

I meant to put in a smiley face Grin

Re pram: I want Phill and ted one as it can be a double too, save you buying new one, when you have your second dc! Grin also they big enough for toddler, even I wouldn't put older kid than 2 and a bit in buggy. GrinGrin and they are very comfy for child, easy to push and fit on the bus. Only thing is that they take up all you boot in the car and are a bit bulky, but very safe! GrinGrin

NicolaHazel · 10/06/2012 09:19

I've not considered prams yet...think I'll save that!

Queen, did you get my PM? Wasn't sure it worked!

newbie I'm sorry to hear that you feeling down! I think we all have these days! Hope you better today! Smile have some Biscuit to make you feel better. Smile
A just been looking through my last month chart and can't understand why I did not get pg!Sad We dtd a lot especially around what I thought was my ov! Sad I'm really worried now! Sad

QueenOfTheDrama · 10/06/2012 09:47

I'm liking the look of the icandy strawberry pram. It looks nice and seems like it would fold up quite small to fit in the boot of my car. I can't wait to go pram testing with my mum (when I finally tell her - too scared to at the mo! Blush)

nicola sorry yes I did get your PM, will reply to it later with my details as posting from my phone at the mo and not sure if you can get onto PMs from the Talk app. I'll drop that stuff at the post office for you if I can get there in time after work this week, if not then will do it Saturday morning if thats ok with you?

QueenOfTheDrama · 10/06/2012 09:49

oh pinkie forgot to say, I did manage to have a quick look at your testing photos late on last night, love them Grin I've tested again this morning and the line is still there but no darker than yesterday yet. If I hadn't done the digital I probably still wouldn't believe it Confused

NicolaHazel · 10/06/2012 09:50

Awww...Newbie, sorry you're so down. :-(

The problem with TTC is that we are all so desperate keen to be mums that we want it to happen NOW. And the odds say it won't.

Then there is the totally natural feeling of jealousy at other people. We ALL feel it and all understand what you mean.

All we can do is keep DTD and supporting each other until we see that second line. (Hugs.)

Hi Queen :-)

Any time, don't worry about it...only if it's not taking you out of your way.

I love how we all spend time on here on our phones...sneaky!

QueenOfTheDrama · 10/06/2012 09:52

pop sometimes you can dtd around ov but still just be unlucky, I was unlucky for over a year! but by dtd often right the way through the month you are maximising your chances of there being swimmers there to meet the egg at the right time. What I'm trying to say is don't be worried, it was your first month trying so would have been really lucky to conceive straight away. FX that you get your BFP soon Smile

Pinkie29 · 10/06/2012 09:52

Crikey guru take it easy! Docs for you maybe??

QueenOfTheDrama · 10/06/2012 09:54

No not at all nicola there is a post office just around the corner from me, its just catching it in time after work Smile

Yep, love a bit of sneaky MNing Grin

Newbie2 · 10/06/2012 10:14

Thank you Echo, Popinda and Nicola for your kind words. It is comforting to know I'm not alone and my feelings are normal. I'm coming to grips with the realities of TTC today and feel more excepting that I have to give it time.

Oh I started using Conceive Plus lub yesterday. For anyone thinking about buying it I would recommend and DH likes it. It also claims to make the wiggly ones have a nicer environment to swim in due to the calcium levels...you'll have to look it up for the correct science behind it!

KickTheGuru · 10/06/2012 10:15

Went to the doc on Friday and she ordered all the tests.

Didn't seem too concerned and she picked up the tachycardia and hand tremors...

Newbie2 · 10/06/2012 10:20

Kick Sorry your feeling so poorly. Sounds like you're having a t

Newbie2 · 10/06/2012 10:28

Oops sorry I pressed send to quickly Kick...sounds like you're having a tough time and hopefully the results of your tests come around quickly to put your mind at ease x

KickTheGuru · 10/06/2012 10:32

Thanks newbie. Apparently its hard to pick up thyroid problems when pregnant and since the tests have to be done on cd 2, i guess it means something is telling me its yet another month of bfn

Popinda · 10/06/2012 10:33

queen - thanks for your support! The reasonable part of me know all that, but the other me wants me to get pg strait away and no explanation is good enough!! Sad

Popinda · 10/06/2012 10:41

newbie I'm going to try conceive plus next month if I get bfn this month. Pinkie already recommended so def want to try now everyone saying its good. Also going to buy epo today! With all this additional help for the swimmers to get where they suppose to get, I'll be so fertile I end up having triplets! GrinGrin like that thought! Grin The things we do to conceive. Wink Hmm

Popinda · 10/06/2012 10:42

Forgot to ask, where did you get it from? Mean the conceive plus.
