Hi everyone - I've started the new thread as our original one is nearly full.

I really hope that this is the one where we all get our BFPs and don't have to experience any more heartache.

I know kitty!

I really hope that all the changes I've made to my lifestyle and diet help this one to stick. And hopefully the acupuncture will work too!

congratulations Woody really so very happy for you! Fx this is the sticky one. Test again in 48 hours and if its a darker line you know thats a good sign!!

Quinandthem · 22/10/2012 15:44

Congrats Woody. So good when someone gets some good news.

Is it sad that altough i'm day 31 (on a usual 30/31 for the last 4 months) cycle without any period symptoms that i dont want to POAS due to the high chance that i'm not pregnant - i want to believe i could be a bit longer.

after my MC in Feb my cycles went crazy for a while - even had 36 and a 45 day cycle with no positive - hense why i dont want to POAS yet...

To top it off my brother has announced that they are pregnant so this month would hit me even harder than most (for those that remember by step-sister just gave birth 10 days ago!).

Gingerpanther27 · 22/10/2012 16:30

Congrats woody Grin I shall be POAS next Wednesday ;) if I have enough self control not to in the mean time lol Blush but cos of wtf cycles not sure if it will be the following Sunday for POAS I'm going off my own calculations but a link I got off one of the threads says I have a 34 day cycle hence why not sure of dates now but covered all bases dtd as much as possible Grin Blush so really hoping will have a BFP and nice sticky bean to look forward to before the year is out (hopefully month) :) how is everyone else getting on?

babyjamesblackberrycrumble · 22/10/2012 18:43

Hooray Hooray Grin Woody . Remind me what lifestyle changes you made rushes off to get notepad
Quin I'm on day 20 something and still no sign of ovulation! This is a WTF cycle too and so was last month. Hold onto the belief a bit longer and you are always in with a chance even if you DTD only once!
KittKats How are you and how was your holiday?
Hi everyone else.

Thank you for all your nice messages. Really trying to be positive. There's no reason why this one wont work out and if I do end up having any brown spotting, it can be absolutely fine. This is what I keep telling myself anyway.

Quin hope you're ok.

FX for you ginger

babyjames since I got pg the first time, I've now being taking folic acid etc for 6 months. When I got pg the first time, I'd only been taking it for about a week. For the last month, I've given up caffeine. I'm eating much more healthily - a lot more fruit and veg and we've cut back dramatically on take aways. I've changed careers and now have a job that is so much less stressful and pressurised - this wasn't a decision taken to try and get pg though. Because of that I'm a lot happier, more relaxed and get more sleep! I'm having acupuncture and seeing a homeopath. Having wheat grass drink things twice a day. So, I really hope that these things make a difference! I know that it's unlikely to change anything but it does make me feel better.

jessie how are you getting on?

Thank you almond, I now work for myself from home.

What do you think that you're going to do? How long would you take off for maternity leave?

Quinandthem · 23/10/2012 10:26

Hi girls,

Well I was feeling a bit queasy yesterday ? not constantly but enough to make you think ?what was that?. So I POAS when I got home and it came up with a positive. So excited but I had to wait an hour for my OH to get home from work and think of a way to tell him.

We are re-doing our downstairs toilet so I decided to tell him that I couldn?t help him seal the tiles (that we were planning to do last night) as I couldn?t work with the adhesive because we were pregnant ? and I showed him the stick.

He was very happy as he was also starting to get a bit concerned about the lack of progress.

Now my next problem is that my dad & step mum are coming to stay this weekend, and whilst we?re not alcoholics ? drinking will be expected on Saturday night with the meal and afterwards. I don?t want to tell anyone yet so does anyone have any good excuses that I could roll out for why I?m not drinking, antibiotics?

p.s. I?ve also changed to de-caff coffee and generally get a bit healthier as my bmi was 30.

janiewoozle · 23/10/2012 11:35

congrats quin that hour long wait must have felt like a year!!! delighted for you!

when i was pregnant i got a urinary tract infection and the docs put me on amoxycillin. i was away visiting friends and said i was on antibiotics and they guessed straight away that i was preggers - they thought i was telling lies - prob because i had been talking the month before about TTC etc.

but maybe if your family aren't aware that you're trying then it would be ok. also a urinary tract infection is one of those things that people don't like to talk about - it's a bit more personal/private than say a chest infection - so they won't push it!! often people say that drinking is fine on antibiotics - which it kind of is, but it just makes the pills not be as effective etc.

another option is to have vodka and cranberry or vodka lime and soda but actually just have the mixer - but make sure DH goes to the bar or pours them for you!!

Gingerpanther27 · 23/10/2012 11:59

Congrats quin :) l

messtins · 23/10/2012 13:03

Congratulations Quin ! Hurray for lots more BFPs on the board!

MissMedusa · 23/10/2012 13:13

Another BFP, this is a really lucky thread!
Congratulations quin

Quinandthem · 23/10/2012 13:47

thanks - fingers crossed it's a sticky month for everyone...

now have to try not to be a neurotic mess with every twing or pain which i think might be even more difficult than getting pregnant!

is it wrong that i'm actually hoping for morning sickness just so i know some pregnancy hormonesare flying around?

YorkshirePeanut · 23/10/2012 16:37

OOOH two on the trot! Congratulations Quin! I used to go for a tonic water with lime, nobody can tell there's no gin....but depends on your usual tipple I suppose! And I hope I'm sick CONSTANTLY next time, so I know what you mean - last time I had diddly squat in the symptom stakes.

In other news, for all us still TTC, I think Morrisons have made a mistake on their pricing and CB ov stick 7 packs are selling at £3.33 at my local Morribobs, think they're normally about £17. Needless to say have just bought four packs haha! Take THAT, Mr Clearblue, I've got some of my money back off you! Mwahaha!
