Hello ladies

I would like to start a thread/bus/merry-go-round to meet, get support and share with ladies in the same boat as me:

TTC baby no 1!

Will you join me and see it through to the BFP?!

A bit about me - I'm 29, DP is 35. This will be our first child.

I'm not sure about me. Don't think we've been getting jiggy enough... Plus I'm a glass half empty person Wink

Kittykat1978 · 30/01/2013 18:00

Access diagnostics .com does really cheap opk and pg tests- £4 for 25...

WakeyCakey · 30/01/2013 18:07

Not testing this month, no ov at all.
Putting it down to coming off the pill. Hope for better luck next month

pixie0602 · 30/01/2013 19:36

Hey ladies.. Hope everyone's ok? Just had my coil removed so can actually start trying and not just practicing Wink

Wakey ... Did you get an electronic cig? Mines been really good today.. Did have a sneaky real one on the way back from the clinic Blush oh well tomorrow's another day Smile x

vicki2122 · 30/01/2013 19:44

I really wanna test today but its to early im to excited and wanna no? Hmm

pixie0602 · 30/01/2013 19:59

There's 3 vickys on this thread lol vicki, liquorice and me Smile

WakeyCakey · 30/01/2013 20:44

Pixie I ordered one online. So I'll give it a go when it arrives. Managed to get a work friend (who's also TTC but doesn't know I am) to get one too so it doesn't look suspicious.
Also got my ov tests today so will try them next month

Liquoriceallsort · 30/01/2013 22:27

I am trying not to think about it too much (impossible)! I am not even sure if I ov'd - no ewcm, I've never had it (well, I've never noticed it) so I'm not even sure if I can conceive Blush

Love the symptom spotting. Wishing you girls the best of luck! X

vicki2122 · 31/01/2013 13:28

Thanks wakey Smile

firsttimekat · 31/01/2013 19:38

tested this morning and BFN Sad but no sign of AF. Surely one has to happen?

Found out yesterday that friend is pg and today another friend has posted on FB lots of pictures of her lovely new nursery. Obviously happy for them both but the timing is rubbish!

vicki2122 · 31/01/2013 19:46

Firsttimecat im sorry to hear of you're BFN it will happen soon

DailySliceOfGato · 01/02/2013 11:57

Much sympathy kat, don't worry too much - firstly until AF comes you just don't know, secondly even if it does come, it's a good excuse to eat whatever you want!

I'm currently nearing the end of the 2WW, cycle 2... my DH is having imaginary sympathy symptoms...

vicki2122 · 01/02/2013 15:57

Test day on sunday fringers crossed its a BFP instead of a BFN

Kittykat1978 · 01/02/2013 17:43

In shock, despite my cbfm telling me I didn't ovulate (just lows til day 17 then high, no peak) I've just got a BFP!!!!! I'm due on tomorrow, felt weird today and had a pad in in case it came early but then dashed to tesco after work. Did the test in the tesco loo- put the test in pocket- went to buy a bottle of wine and pack of fags to treat myself to commiserate and just before I got to the counter pulled it out of my pocket and saw! Me and dh are ecstatic and scared at the same time!!! Don't give up hope with opks not picking up! Praying for a sticky one! Smile xxxxx

WakeyCakey · 01/02/2013 18:08

Congratulations Kitty!!! Another BFP!! There's definitely some luck hanging around this thread! Makes me want to test!! (Got to keep reminding myself that that would be a pointless waste of money.

However my e-cig arrived today! Gives me something to keep my mind on

Liquoriceallsort · 01/02/2013 20:50

Wow congrats kitty!!!GrinGrinGrin

firsttimekat · 01/02/2013 21:03

congrats kitty!

still no sign of AF here, stocked up on more tests in tesco and will wait till the end of the weekend before testing again if nothing has arrived.

WakeyCakey · 01/02/2013 21:19

Have a night in to myself tonight as DP has taken dsd out for some quality time (football Hmm ) so unfortunately been perusing amazon and have somehow found myself bulk buying PG tests.
How am I so consumed in this already?
Must think if something other then babies otherwise I'll never last....it's only been a month
