Thanks everyone. Not counting my chickens yet (you know what mean) but I am a little reassured with it being a strong line.

Dh will probably panic about the possiblity of twins Grin

kittykatsforever · 13/02/2013 19:34

Well as I recall in my film wasn't it you who ended up with twin girls at the end???Wink

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 13/02/2013 19:39

Is this your first cycle of taking soy?

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 13/02/2013 20:20

Thanks again for the positive messages, I really hope this one sticks.

twinkle it really could have been the soy. This is my first month taking it so who knows. Really glad I managed one shag post ov, that protective sperm thing may be nonsense but at least I know I tried it.

Adsum · 13/02/2013 20:28

Ok so tell us all about the soy...! Where d'ya get it from, how and when do you take it?! I want some of what she's had!!! Wink

Alexandra6 · 13/02/2013 20:34

I haven't joined one of these threads before as there is always so much going on, but I had a quick look at this one and you all seem nice so I thought I'd pop in and say hi and stick around if that's ok? Am planning a BFP for 2013 so it sounds right up my street. Congrats when!

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 13/02/2013 20:36

It was from tesco. I would offer to post you the remains of my pack but its probably cheaper for you to buy it. I think it is sold by tescos to help menopausal women combat low oestrogen.

Cramps in uterus are back (and have been all day) just reminding myself I had them till week 12 when pregnant with dd.

Alexandra6 · 13/02/2013 20:37

Ps will try and read back to get an idea of who's on here and your stories. Ooh want to hear more about soy too!

Hi alexandra welcome on board.

when I've heard cramping in early pregnancy is totally normal. So happy for you Grin

Welcome Alexandra.

I took soy too this cycle. Third time. Hope third time lucky.

Alexandra6 · 13/02/2013 20:47

Thanks Smile is soy good for anyone to try, do you know? I have long cycles and polycystic ovaries so not sure if it would do much for me, about to start clomid when AF turns up next (on day 40 now and going a bit mad) - I'm probably the only one TTC who is praying for AF haha!

weechops · 13/02/2013 20:52

Omg when! I am so unbelievably happy for you :) :) argh congrats!!!

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 13/02/2013 21:03

alex thanks and welcome. You are in safe hands with these ladies they are so good at holding your hand through the hard times.

twinkle I really hope it works for you.

red thanks for the reassuring message

weechops it's so lovely of you to be happy for me. Especially with your sil's news.

weechops · 13/02/2013 21:11

When - your fab news has totally cheered me up. Honestly. Big cheesey grin and all :)

Alex - welcome :)

Alexandra6 · 13/02/2013 21:15

Just read back and I've been in a really similar situation with my SIL wee. Hard isn't this sometimes! How long have you been ttc?

weechops · 13/02/2013 21:45

This is cycle 9 for me Alex. Had mc in January at 4+4 and no chance this cycle as dh is working away for 3 weeks this time! I'm seriously considering begging him to tell them he can't do the full 3 weeks :)

MrsBri · 13/02/2013 21:52

De-lurking to say a MASSIVE congrats to When. So chuffed for you :-)

when your news has given me some hope and spurred me on. Its gotten me out of the 'fed-up-of-ttc' mode and into 'let's-get-shagging' mode.

I so want to be on that graduate thread and out of conception boards - hope this is our month too.

OP posts:
WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 13/02/2013 22:11

alex I didn't even answer your question about soy how rude. It is meant to be a natural alternative to clomid. You take it for 5 days at the start of your cycle and it blocks oestrogen receptors tricking your body into thinking it is low in oestrogen. The body then produces more oestrogen and this extra oestrogen strengthens ovulation.
Hope that makes sense, I think I may have mentioned oestrogen too much. Smile

red so glad it cheered you up. I was starting to feel like this was just a club if reluctant shaggers, was starting to forget I was trying for a BFP.

mrsbri nice to hear from you and thanks. I'm not getting too excited at 9dpo I'm only 3wks2 god that's so depressing up to 50% of pregnancies fail at that early stage, so I'm am holding off on any celebrations at the moment.

MrsBri · 13/02/2013 22:34

When, my 22 week fidgety bump was a 3+3 discovery, so there is hope :-) I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. xx

BelissimaLol · 14/02/2013 07:01

Also de lurking to say OMG OMG OMG when!!!!
I know the panic hun. One day at a time. Come over to the other side too (bfp came true) and we will hold your hand!!!!
Exciting news :-)))))

LittleMissSnowShine · 14/02/2013 07:17

when - woo hoo!!! Big congrats!! Had a good feeling about your faint bfp and so glad it seems to be confirmed now :) lots of hand holding awaits on our other thread, i for one have been (& will prob continue to be!) v nervous and apprehensive about every twinge, bit of spotting but touch wood everything seems ok so far. Having MN to come and vent is a lifesaver tho!!

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 14/02/2013 09:07

Thanks lol and littlemiss not sure if I'm ready for the other side yet (seems like its tempting fate).

adsum hope everything is ok with you today. Thinking of you.
