Exciting! October would suit me :)

Newbie2 · 12/07/2012 16:51

Who will you be taking? Best to go with Bf? Mum or DH? Or by yourself so nobody is there to judge your shopping...hmm by myself with bump sounds quite appealing right now Grin

KickTheGuru · 12/07/2012 17:00

Random question here but do any of you panic for like...one day a month that maybe having a baby isn't at the right time?

I sometimes look at like...having to pick up socks or do the dishes and think "argh how could I manage with a baby?"

And then it goes away. It lasts like a day.

Anyone else or is that just me with my lazy DH? Grin

KickTheGuru · 12/07/2012 17:01

Don't go by yourself Newbie

Although, you could. Sprout some tears and look like the brave single mum! ;)

OpenMindedSceptic · 12/07/2012 17:05

Hello ladies,

Still checking this thread every now and then and hoping we will get some more BFPs soon. Winkle hang in there.
Nothing wrong with symptom spotting, I do believe they exist! (although not everyone gets them)

lollypopsicle · 12/07/2012 17:17

Thanks everyone for the support and advice. You're all right, I just need to wait for AF to show up. kick it helps to think that the line must be definite to be + helps me feel like I can start to move on a bit. In my heart, I know its not meant to be this time, I just want a new cycle now!

Best of luck to those waiting to test, try to stay sane! x

lollypopsicle · 12/07/2012 17:55

Ps can someone take me off the bfp list, don't really want to do it myself but also don't want to see it there, iykwim?

NicolaHazel · 12/07/2012 18:10

Hi kick! Great to see you and your sane words :-) Fx your BS stabilises quickly.

And I fancy a trip to Manchester for a baby show...really think I should be up duffed to attend though! Here's hoping.

kittykatsforever · 12/07/2012 18:21

Not had a chance to read last few posts but kick or any other guru?! Just had EWCM definatly does that mean I've only just ovd??? Done an opk and defo neg not even a line and the + was cd15, cd22 now, please tell me it's not as I fear I will have missed it stoped dtd cd17 due to illness and were both still bad ( mouth full of ulcers) so can't imagine really wanting loving?

YikesHereWeGo · 12/07/2012 19:13

Hi folks, lots to catch up on today; some most excellent posts from you all :)
red - love the story about your dp browsing interweb, that's so fab! And also love the advice re what to say to people who gloat about getting preggo first time. newbie and kitty - I also agree about new MN-ers that say "hi I'm new, just got my BFP, cheerio". Err, thanks for that, not. Jealous, moi?!
thanks for all the 50 shades reviews; was thinking of jumping on the bandwagon but you've convinced me to save my pennies and spend it on wine instead
kick - great news re stats coming down; good work! And thanks for all the very sensible advice re when a line is NOT a line. I think poor lolly and I may have succumbed to the squinting phenomeon. Sorry lolly.
As for me, flippin AF turned up today (well red spotting anyway) so am off to console myself down the pub with DH with the aforementioned Wine.
At least I can now crack open my newly purchased epo and try that tactic for the first time. Was tempted to look for an Aug BFP thread (34 day cycles for me :( ) but you lot seem fun so I think I'll stick around here for a bit longer if you'll have me. Hope that doesn't sound weird but I don't have the energy for making new introductions right now.
One good thing that came out of AF's arrival was that DH seemed genuinely disappointed and is up for unprompted SWI next month. Might try eod approach as did every day for two weeks this month which was a bit soul destroying.
Sorry for mahoosive post; just needed to get the disappointment out of my system.

winkle2 · 12/07/2012 19:46

Hi Kick

nice to see you

I tested last weekend on Saturday and Sunday but BFN.

KittyBump · 12/07/2012 20:03

hi all, just checking in - sorry for anyone with disappointing news :( and everyone stressing about cycles (which I think is all of us!)
I'm still in 2ww limbo, now i've started to think what if my AF in June was a one off (as it was first one since having DD and I am still BF). Then i would be waiting for AF indefinitely Shock

And... DH has been really busy with work so we haven't dtd for 2 days :(

It certainly takes it out of you this ttc

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 12/07/2012 20:23

Hi kick good to see you back here again, really hope you get your bs down quickly.

Af is due tomorrow and my lower back is aching like mad this evening so af will be here any time soon. Lower back has been aching on and off since 8dpo, I thought it was implantation cramps but got the bfn on 11 dpo.

Fingers crossed for everyone. I think we are due another BFP soon hopecully from a regular not some random person

lollypopsicle · 12/07/2012 20:33

yikes I am with you on the Wine tonight. Our time will come, but for now, enjoy the non preggo perks.

DulcetMoans · 12/07/2012 20:37

Struggle to keep up on this thread but still reading. Into the 2ww now but not very hopeful as maybe missed ov.

Glad to see you back though kick, stressful time. I agree about the stress of having a baby fitting into daily life, things will be different for sure!

So what happens at a baby conference thingy then? Is it just freebies? I can handle freebies!!

NicolaHazel · 12/07/2012 20:44

We should have a northern baby show meet in Manchester and a southern one in London...only share our obsession with other obsessives, ha ha!

CherryBakewellPie · 12/07/2012 22:46

I'm still lingering :) cd37 and counting....

I definitely think it's okay to attend baby expo pregnant or not Grin I fully intend to...although maybe alone? No one except dp of course knows we're trying and I don't think I could drag him with me.

So whose next for testing? We're way over due a BFP and I definitely think it will lift my spirits (providing its not a "drop-a-BFP-and-run - er!!")

kittykatsforever · 12/07/2012 22:55

Loving that I've opened a can of worms with the drop in and runners lol
Wanted to say something last month but thought I'd be judged Blush
Only regular thread users need advertise!!!

Manage to seduce dh, Whether late ov or not I hope we're covered Smile
Do I get extra bfp points for dtd sick?! Hmm

kittykatsforever · 12/07/2012 22:56

Oh and I've allready been to a baby event last year he he

winkle2 · 12/07/2012 22:59

We deffo need a BFP on this thread soon - please please please let it be meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Convinced hub to let me test on Saturday

CherryBakewellPie · 12/07/2012 23:02

Yess definitely!! 30 extra bfp points for you!! And a shiny gold sticker!! Those swimmers don't care if you've got the sniffles, you definitely took one for the team Smile

fx for you this cycle!

CherryBakewellPie · 12/07/2012 23:07

Yessss Winkle Smile I've just been googling late implantation...= low levels = BFN. If the little bean doesn't settle until a few days before AF is due then it's not enough time to produce a high level of hcg.

Trying to find ANY plausible explanation for our missing AF's (The last one I had I was abroad so I was thinking about calling Airport Lost & Found..Hmm)

CherryBakewellPie · 12/07/2012 23:09

..ring ring..."Excuse me...I've lost my Aunt Flo..." haha do you think they'll see the funny side? Maybe we should send out a missing persons ad.

winkle2 · 12/07/2012 23:20

well done kitty! I was ill when I dtd this month too! Followed OH halfway down the country to catch the eggy too!

kittykatsforever · 13/07/2012 06:16

Lol you girls you do make me laugh, winkle and cherry lost afs!!! Winkle I can't believe the last time you tested was last weekend!! I'd have been on hpt 8 by now, another test is definatly needed, I really want the next bfp to be you two!!!
Thank you for the extra points Smile think
I may have to give them to dh though bless him, he said but you will be angry next month of we didn't and I said no id just be dissapointed and he said that was worse lol we both said after though even when your not in the mood you always enjoy it after and feel good Smile
Best dh points this thread have to go to red though, I thought the google things were so so cute Smile
