TTC#1 - The difficult fifth thread: the one where we all get BFP!

999 replies

DulcetMoans · 11/08/2012 21:38

Time to move over ladies. Would love to start this thread by announcing my BFP but unfortunately I can't because we all talk too much to get to test date!

All going for gold medals in baby-making and bound to get there soon, aren't we???

Oh bugger, Newbie :-(

I'm getting increasingly pissed off now. I am in awe of how calm you seem to be after so long.

Should have brought a pillow with me today...could do with a snooze already!

Roxyjade · 15/08/2012 07:26

Morning all

Nicola , newbie have you still not had your AF, what have your doctors said

I've still not had mine either but it does feel like she's coming.
If she dosnt come then that means my tests are invalid (woohoo) but still not good as I should be having a period by now

NicolaHazel · 15/08/2012 07:33

I'm not seeing my doctor for another month. It's impossible to get an appointment to fit in with work as I'm so far from home.

I'm not hugely late yet anyway. It's just really frustrating, as I'd gone straight into nice, neat cycles.

Waiting game it is

At least you feel like your AF is coming. Fx things all work out.

How early do you think you can start getting nausea in pregnancy?

letsdothisthing · 15/08/2012 07:45

Morning sorry about BFN's - feel for you both! If it's not going to be a BFP just wish AF would put in an appearance for you both so that you can get back to it!

CD 14 for me today and not even due to ov until next Tuesday according to FF - been DTD already though just for the fun of it but this time find its dragging soooooo much, must admit would rather be on the 2ww right now!! Hope you all have a good day :)

letsdothisthing · 15/08/2012 07:47

Forgot to say hi to cwtch, you have just put the idea of googling those videos in my head lol must not go on you tube

NicolaHazel · 15/08/2012 07:58

Exactly lets...positive test or AF sooner rather than later please!

Seems like TTC is all about bloody waiting. Boring!!

Sorry about the persistent BFN girls. What on earth is going on?!

Welcome cwtching! Never heard of a YouTube announcement video. Good job probably, sounds awful if you are TTC!

woody17 · 15/08/2012 08:15

Yep I hate all the waiting!

And fed up with my body/hormones playing tricks on me!

Haylebop12 · 15/08/2012 08:54

Sorry about your BFNs. I'm starting my 2ww now so fx

Roxyjade · 15/08/2012 10:05

Hi all AF has arrived! 34 day cycle so not bad. In going to order some
Vitex, heard its good to stabilise your hormones and I need progestrone from the sounds of it

Welcome cwtching :)

woody17 · 15/08/2012 10:15

Hi roxy i read somewhere that 33 days is the average length for a cycle - I don't know if this is true or not...

FX hayleybop that you get a BFP soon!

Roxyjade · 15/08/2012 10:40

Hey woody, yeah I think it is, if I did ovulate, (I no doctor said I didn't) but it means my lutheal phase is 13-14 days which I no is perfect , this is what I can't get my head round, my lutheal phase is spot on , my cbfm said peak and my periods are regular so why how can I not be ovulating ????

woody17 · 15/08/2012 10:55

Is it because the dr says that you are not ov? I wonder if she is wrong...

Roxyjade · 15/08/2012 11:21

Yeah she has said in not because the progestrone test she done was 7days before my period came back low, but my cycle was longer this month, by 4 days

She tested me on 6th and 7th, but maybe she should of on 8th and 9th , who nos hey!
Heard good things about a supplement called fertility blend, I might give that a go

NicolaHazel · 15/08/2012 12:17

Yeah, wonder if your tests would have been different if done on the right day?

I just want to say - because I can't in real life - that my nipples are driving me to distraction! They're all I can focus on, ha ha.

Posh CB tests on the way. Hurrah for POA expensive S. :-)

Newbie2 · 15/08/2012 12:28

Nicola I hope you don't abandon us especially me, just to be totally selfish when you get your BFP :(

NicolaHazel · 15/08/2012 12:29

I have no intention of going anywhere! :-)

I wish people would stop being encouraging in a way...so scared it is my body playing games :-(

What do you actually think though nicola? Not what do you hope, but do you think/feel you are? Nipples thing is obviously not very helpful...!

OP posts:
NicolaHazel · 15/08/2012 12:50

I know I've never felt like this before, or had as many symptoms combined.

I've had false alarms, but even my most convincing false alarm wasn't this convincing.

BUT...I've never been pregnant, so I just don't know. My sister says if I'm not, she will be amazed. She's a mum of two.

I know what I think, but dare not hope, if that makes sense?!

Especially as I thought we had missed it!

Newbie2 · 15/08/2012 12:54

Oh good Nicola cos I could not cope am not stable enough if one of you long termers on this thread got a BFP and legged it right now :)

Newbie2 · 15/08/2012 14:52

Ahhhh I felt calm this morning...now I feel like I'm loosing the plot again :() keeping calm and stress free while TTC is bloody impossible :(

DulcetMoans · 15/08/2012 14:52

haha. Well none of us are that long termers really. Only on cycle 3-4 most of us! Just turned out to not be as easy as we thought. Stupid bodies!

I hope your feelings are right then nicola, just have to go test crazy in the meantime!

OP posts:
Newbie2 · 15/08/2012 14:54

Dulcet it feels like forever! I'm seeing a friend tonight for a drink after work...TG I have house news to share otherwise I'd end up blabbing about my fun TTC adventure cannot let that happen ever

NicolaHazel · 15/08/2012 17:55

No problem, Dulcet. I can manage test crazy!! May do another when I get back. Sod it!

3 - 4 months feels like a long time. But I think that because we all came here from the word go, rather than doing the smash and grab, instant pregnancy, thing, we feel in it together more. :-)
