BFP in 2012 Part 3 - let's get on with it!

[resipsa]

I bit the bullet!

[DulcetMoans]

Ooooohhh now I get it. Sorry, was a bit slow in that one. Good to see you urban interesting about your timings. So pleased for you and your BFP though!

I'm into the potential testing time if first smiley was right. Must resist!!

[DulcetMoans]

Oh wise ladies of mumsnet, smiley was early this month meaning tomorrow will be 10dpo but still 10 days before AF due. Could I test tomorrow?? Its obviously before the way before AF but it will be the 10dpo we tend to stick to. I'm confused!

[JamesAndTheGiantBanana]

Just caved and did a late night poas... and got a very faint bfp

[DulcetMoans]

Yay james!!! Test in the morning and hopefully get a stronger one! How you feeling?

[WhenSheWasBadSheWasAnOrange]

james that's amazing. Are you testing again tomorrow?

Congrats

[winkle2]

Congrats James :)

[Kittenkatzen]

morning lovely ladies

james congrats so pleased for you! Have you POAS again this morning yet?

dulcet I think I'd be tempted to hedge my bets and test today but not be too disappointed if its a bfn!

urban welcome back and congrats!

nic was it awesome?

[JamesAndTheGiantBanana]

Thanks, yes tested again, line isn't any stronger but still there. I guess if the hcg doubles every 2-3 days as they say it does then this makes sense, and hopefully the line should be stronger tomorrow.

[kNickerbockerGloryCherry]

More than awesome...did you watch on iTunes? You need to if you didn't! I've had just over 3 hours' sleep and am going to work now. Exhausted, but worth it.

I gave Tom Kirk a letter to give to the lads to thank them for getting me and Bri together. He seemed really pleased :-)

Got my bloody smilie yesterday and couldn't DTD due to the London trip. Typical! DTD Sat night just before midnight and will again later too, so fx we haven't missed it after our intense shagging month this month!

BFP or AF now due on my wedding day!

Congrats to James. :-)

[kittykatskumkwat]

Hi everyone just checking in to see how your all doing!!
Winkle has ov occurred yet?
Nic I didn't dtd the day of smiley this month either as dh at work, did it the night before and the day after, fx for a wedding present for you of the amazing kind
Urban, congrats on your news! I was going to ask you about symptoms I havnt had any this time either really apart from bizarre vivid dreams (could equally be non pg related) but I did have alot last time

[kNickerbockerGloryCherry]

Ooh, that gives me hope, kitty :-) Have booked in tonight's shag!

[redstrawberry]

Congrats James hope the line gets stronger in a few days.

[Kittenkatzen]

No I was down the pub missed it. Apparently the live feed wasn't great, am hoping they will release it for playback though. Was lurking around the forums this morning, lots of good feedback (in with the usual setlist whingers). That's so sweet about the letter :)

Oh a wedding day bfp would be amazing - fx for that!

[resipsa]

Hi kitty glad all is going well.
Congrats james. V pleased for you but as usual!
Can I have a moan? Another announcement at work today and, guess what, it was an accident. Oh, hilarious. Cue lots of laughter and jokes about pregnancy being infectious (3rd announcement since late August). If only, I'm thinking...
Feel like crap today. Got cold and DD has now woken in the night every day for 3 weeks. DH has his knee op in 2 weeks so unlikely to get any useful useful action next month meaning this is it for a while. On CD19 and no sign of OV yet. The way things are there's zero chance of success this month anyway.
OK, moan over. Sorry .

[WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful]

Hi resipsa

Sorry it's all a bit rubbish today. Loads of my friends are pregnant at the moment and I feel massively too. Sorry the smiley is being elusive this month. That happened to me last month, it finally came on something like cd 28.
Lord only knows when it will turn up this month. Hope you feel better later today.

[resipsa]

Hi when. Secret twins in good and bad times! Sigh. Got it bad this week. Saw a woman in John Lewis yesterday with a toddler about DD's age and (I'm guessing) an eight month bump. Spent about 10 mins stalking her (weirdo alert) thinking "that should have been me". Positivity eluding me.
Worried smiley will happen today then I'll ger more frustrated; there's no way DH is giving out tonight after the lack of sleep and fact that he split his suit trousers this morning (ha!).

[weechops]

james that's great congrats!

resipsa sorry things are a bit crap just now for you.

I'm due af in 2 days. Did my last frer this morning and bfn and I can feel her coming, so I'm just waiting for her and then trying to get my pma back for next month. Sigh.

[resipsa]

wee

[resipsa]

when not sure we're allowed to sat this sort of stuff now urban is back but I remember that I had a weird 40 day cycle immediately before the one in which DD conceived...

[kNickerbockerGloryCherry]

I'm sorry you're feeling crap, resipsa. :-(

Are all law firms rammed with pregnant ladies? Ours is, all the time.

Kitten, the gig / setlist was awesome. I heard good things about the feed. Wonder if they were just being nice?!

[redstrawberry]

hugs for resipa I hate those accidental pregnancy announcements having had to deal with 2 close friends announcing the same. If it helps, my new rule this month is not devote any time to sadness. No more dwelling on the unfairness of ttc and "why me" but I am planning forwards with or without a baby.

I remained really strong & happy last week and ventured into Tescos today and I could feel myself welling when I saw Christmas cookies in the biscuits aisle. And had to zoom past the Halloween stuff. What is with supermarkets announcing Christmas 3 months in advance...for fucksakes! I did not cry but was so ready to burst.

[WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful]

That's interesting with the weird 40 day cycle. I am wondering if my body just got sick of all the chem preg nonsense and decided to press the reset button.

I am feeling a bit ambivalent re ttc at the moment. I have pretty much come to terms with not having the two year age gap I wanted for dd and next baby. I'm not sure I want a summer baby, mostly I worry about their future birthdays, friends child has a summer hols birthday and she has a nightmare arranging his party as all his friends are away on holiday so can't come.
Dh is worried that the child will be the small kid in the class and will be bullied (this happened to him).
This is all really optimistic considering I have a consultants app in a few weeks for recurrent mc. If I get bad news and I can't have another child it's going to hit me like a brick, in my heart of hearts I am sure I will have another child.

Urgh I just reread that self induldgent waffle (I want I want I want) on reflection I should just be grateful for any healthy pregnancy (and try and stop my control freak tendencies).

Loving the stalking story.

[winkle2]

Sorry you're feeling down res and when. It just sucks doesn't it?

Real sorry to hear about BFN wee :(

Cd14 here. Monitor says high so will dtd. Dtd so far cd10 and 12.

Have had a few wines this weekend as we've been at a wedding. So hard to not drink.

[winkle2]

I've been really sad today too. Keep thinking if I'd got preg first time when we started trying properly (ie Jan this year) I'd be near my due date. I keep seeing all this baby stuff in shops and wanting to buy them but I can't cause I'm not pregnant :(

I've been to two weddings this month and I always thought i'd be pregnant for them. Now I think 'oh they'll be pregnant before me'. You know that stuff about carrying on with your life, booking holidays, etc? Well when those dates come around I just feel crappy cause they remind me that I'm not pregnant.

[swimmingnotdrowning]

yay for james!

And for the planning ahead thing, I think the thing is always to have planned two or more things ahead. I was initially thinking that I wanted to be pg by our early summer holiday in May but by the time that came around I had managed to get my mind into thinking that I wanted to be pg by the Olympics and by the time of the Olympics I was thinking that I wanted to be pg by our october holiday - that has helped me feel less sad when the dates come around.

PS hi urban
