BFP wishes will come true

[RedRobin1]

Hopefully this is the last thread we start and all our dreams and wishes come true.

No sign as yet. Have brought a frer to do in the morning as its my work Xmas party tomorrow eve. Will keep you posted.

I don't POAS as after 16 months I would be wasting so much money! Now I just wait for AF to arrive.

Don't get too excited ladies, 1 day late is nothing for me. Remember the 43-day cycle I had a few months back?!

Hi kittens I don't want to moan on this thread as it's obviously a good sign but morning sickness has well and truly kicked in. Poor dd has seen me with my head down the toilet a couple of times. Bless her, she gives me a concerned look and a cuddle when I've finished!

I'm getting very hopeful for winkle and red. Anyone else in the 2ww?

And there were some newbies near the start of the thread. bridget and linda among others... Maybe I have missed a post or a name change but I'm getting confused with who's here!

Sorry for still hanging around, but I've got no desire to join a different thread... I just want to stay on with you guys and watch you all get your bfps!

sticky I missed your post, I'm glad you've had a great scan too.

winkle I don't even know you but I think you're going to be the first person I think about when I wake up tomorrow

Aw reindeer that's so sweet!

Oh god someone stop me. I've already thought about how I'm going to tell my family I'm pregnant on Christmas Day and that I want it to be a girl first... SOMEBODY STOP ME!

Good luck for tomorrow twinkle!
So glad the scan went well little that's great news.
My mum asked me straight out if I was going to have another baby today. It was such a random question since we've kept it to ourselves and we aren't really in a position where ppl naturally ask anymore. She was shocked but not in a bad way. It was quite nice to get it off my chest especially after the blood tests this morning. I hope she doesn't tell the whole family over Christmas dinner now.
Do you tend to keep it quiet or does everyone know you're trying for a baby? (To everyone)

I was really open about it to everyone until I had a big wobble last time af came, quit this thread, said my goodbyes and decided I was going to accept it wasn't happening so when people asked I just said I wasn't trying anymore because it wasn't happening. And then like a big cliche it happened.

With dd I said we weren't trying not to, when people asked, which is a more relaxed way to think about it I guess.

In a way I wish I'd been a bit more honest with my close friends about how much it was actually upsetting me. I had a horrible night out with two pregnancies announced, whereas I think if they'd have known they would have given me the heads up in private beforehand. I'm ashamed to say I didn't cope very well with the news at the time

But then I can also see the advantages to keeping it to yourself. When some friends did see how much it meant to me I felt like maybe they knew too much and I felt a bit vulnerable, if that makes sense.

It's dead tricky and just a personal thing I guess. It does help to have someone who understands you though.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean about feeling vulnerable. I certainly like to deal with things by myself and am a very private person (I tell myself that anonymous forum postings don't count). I do feel a little vulnerable now but also relieved, I hadn't realised that I was hiding it from my mum until I actually told her. It also feels far more real now, not sure why..

winkle I am waiting excitedly for you. Not going to stop you getting excited. Whatever will be will be. Really hope this Christmas is a special one for you.

About telling ppl if you are ttc - we have now told most family and friends so we don't get asked any awkward questions and so far it's been helpful except one or two insensitive friends who try to offer you tips. Why can't people just be good listeners and not offer advice?

I have had mild retching today at 7dpo same as what I had with the cp. I am not getting my hopes up but it's hard to stay calm. Wonder if this is it?

Oh winkle and red I'm not going to stop you getting excited, why when that's part of the fun!! Yes it may not happen this month but why the hell wouldn't it either?!?
I too I'm going to excitedly check first thing [ I'm very sad too emotion-com]
I want us to have a graduate bfp bus where we can maybe even lure out wishful the founder!
I personally never kept it a secret when we were trying, that's not to say I brought it up but if the subject came up I've always been quite honest about it, I think it's been the best approach for me although I've kept the pregnancys a secret until later
Glad to hear you are doing well sunshine given that ms is a good thing in these circumstances! Has the panic set in yet?! I think I worried non stop for the fist tri even about what have I done, 2 young babies ahh! I think it must be hormone related!
Anyone like to know what flavour baby kitty is?

I would like to know kitty!

We generally tell people we're not preventing and seek what happens or that we're concentrating on my new job at the moment and will think about it in the new year. But people must know as we've been married 18 months. My sis and my mum have both asked if something's wrong. Both my sisters got married and pregnant within first few months.

Bfn...

I don't tell ppl but convinced people know because we've been married nearly 3 years we love children.

Awww twinkle that sucks but it could definitely just be too early so please don't give up just yet - I'm staying positive for you at any rate!

red have got my fx for you too, retching sounds good (never said that before...)

I think you ladies who have told people you're TTC are a bit mad brave. We've not told anyone at all! We love our friends and family obviously, but if they knew it would just be an endless barrage of "friendly jokes" about me being "barren" or DH "firing blanks". Obviously people must have guessed as we've never made secret of the fact that we want kids, but to outright admit it would be tantamount to offering ourselves up for sacrifice!

Sorry to hear that twinkle
Looks like we are all aiming for 2013 BFP's unless monthly or red gets an early Christmas gift. Not sure where everyone else is on their cycles. AF is just on its way out for me thankfully. I'm beginning to really hate them lately.

Don't worry winkle - stay positive - could easily be too early with your random cycles! I do remember that long one you had before! Am still x-ing my fingers for you!!

Sorry winkle don't know what to say. It's just so bloody hard and cruel when it tricks you into thinking this might be the month. Big hug.

Don't let ttc ruin your Christmas. Hope you still have a good one and the new year will bring you more happiness.

Sorry winkle, I'm gutted for you
I hope it is too early as I got a bfn the day before my + last time but know in your position I wouldn't believe that, I hope it doesn't spoil Xmas for you x

Thanks girls :)

I just had a thought. I think AF is delayed because I thought I ov'd on the mon / tues but then I had EWCM on the Sunday so I reckon she'll be here this weekend.

winkle gutted for you, but fx it may be just too early to test.

I got another smiley face this morning on cd15 so going from 2 cycles with nothing, to a cycle with 2! Hoping it's a good sign.

Sorry about the BFN winkle

Congrats monthly.

Ah winkle sorry re BFN but see what happens. Wry smile at your imagining how to tell on Xmas Day as I had same daydreams this month. In my case, it's verging on masochism as I now seem to do it every month!
Hi kitty. Flavour confirmation, please!
Congrats monthly!
Hi lol + sunshine/reindeer - hope everything going OK. So !
Tell people? 1st time we didn't but no-one asked as we'd been married 10 years and were in the self-declared "no kids wanted" camp. God, I used to say it so casually, as if it really would be as easy as changing my mind one day and giving birth the next. So naive!
Second time we told no-one either but then had m/c which I had to talk about for my sanity. So, now everyone knows the plan but daren't ever ask how it's going!
Fx red!
