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

[DulcetMoans]

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???

Thanks girls. Think this is hard for all of us. You are probably scared of not being able to conceive whereas I know I can, and I am terrified of miscarrying again. Either way it sucks!
Glad u bought bench newbie. I have a wedding next wkd then DH birthday the week after to worry about.
Your pain could well be ov. Where are u on cycle?

Sounds like it could be OV, Newbie :-)

And yes, Lol, I am scared shitless I can't conceive. For no reason, I suppose.

It's a stressful process, isn't it?

Glad you got the bench, Newbie. I'll have to find a hobby when the wedding is done with!!

Me too, I'm also scared I can't conceive for no reason. Lol I am guessing that I'm approaching OV. I didn't get the smiley face so how can it be OV pain?

I have to get a hobby as I'm clearly not dealing with the TTC anxiety. My mum said today that she was disappointed for me that the house hasn't been a distraction. I knew it wouldn't distract me. I think I'll be better after the scan. Only two weeks to go...keep telling myself that!

Your LH surge could have happened between sticks, maybe.

I think I'll cope worse after the wedding as I'll have nothing else to focus on.

Then I'll be utterly neurotic :-/

Would I be totally nuts to do the 3rd OV stick of the day? Probably yes :-/

If you've drunk a lot and had a recent wee then probably. :-/

DH has fallen asleep anyway so I'll wait. I think I'm just having an anxious day. No biggie. Deffinately going to go curtain shopping for distraction tomorrow!!

It's a big sad because while one is meant to be enjoying newly wed life, one turns into a man wife instead At least Bri will know what post marriage life is like :-p

Good plan! :-)

I'm going shopping for bowls for our sweetie bar while Bri gets re-measured for his suit tomorrow.

Our flat will be so empty once it's all over and all the bits and bobs have gone!

A man wife?! Mad?

I've always been insane highly strung. It isn't a shock to him.

And I've spent a lot of this year sobbing for once reason or another, so he's really seen the worst of me. And luckily he hasn't buggered off. :-)

Ooooh that sounds nice. Do you have something in mind? It's crazy how much stuff you accumulate. I still seem to have loads too, but I did over buy on candles etc

Hah hah yes MAD wife.

See its like you're married already :)

Who would want a man wife, unless maybe you're batting on the other side ;-)

I'm not sure...something coloured / with a funky shape. Would like to avoid overly bowly bowls, if that makes sense?! :-)

Yeah, a man wife is something TOTALLY different!

I'm not getting candles. I have all sorts everywhere. We are putting CDs on all the tables so people can post their photos to us, so have a stack of them. I have 10kg of sweets, plus scoops and personalised paper bags. Just lots of stuff lying round :-)

Oh, and our card post box came this week. So much stuff!!

Ahh the CDs are a nice touch!

I got it from the forum attached to our wedding website. Good to sift through the crap on there and find something useful :-)

Love the cd idea! We had some amazing shots taken by friends.
I felt quite sad too once the wedding was over. Think that's quite common!

I still can't believe I'll never wear a wedding dress again (well not planning to)!!

Did you both sell your dresses? I really have no room for it afterwards, but just don't know if I could part with it that quickly.

Some of our friends are AWESOME picture takers with very good cameras, so I'm looking forward to getting their shots.

Erm when I got married the first time i gave my dress to cancer research uk as I lost my dear aunt to breast cancer. This time around I still have it in my spare room. Love it too much to part with it.
It's in the room that will be nursery one day soon so maybe I'll rethink when that happens. How big is your dress? Mine has a huge train

My train is quite long...look at my profile, I'm wearing it in a picture there (put up when asking if I should TTC near to the wedding in case of bump. Ha bloody ha).

I don't know how to view a profile

Click on my name...you'll see it is underlined. You can then choose to look at my photos.

Aha. Didn't work on app but managed on the site. Your dress is beautiful. Very flattering!!! Are u having a veil and tiara?
My dress is a bit fuller than yours lol...

My dress is in a box too. Could never sell it. I'm hoping my daughter will wear it one day...I know I'm going to be one of those mothers lol

I would try it on again but it has so many buttons at the back and it's big...not the easiest dress to slip on and off.

Nicola I remember that debate. Feels like a while ago now. I was all like don't make the same mistake as me :) bet you're glad you've started?
