Welcome aboard ladies (though obviously sorry you have to be here). We're a friendly bunch so come in and plump up a cushion for POAS Fridays and lots of posifrickingtivity. With a few (gentle) fish slaps thrown in for good measure.

what did your friend think?

cam I'm sorry, can't help with the poo issues - though you do sound like my DD and lactulose has helped her.

I have decided that I don't want to get pg this cycle as it would ruin all sorts of holiday/career plans. I have my eye on Thailand in December and couldn't do those flights if I was 8 month pg. Today I have a sore back/lower tummy and am wondering if it could be implantation. Murphy's law says it is.

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 24/04/2013 13:47

It is bloody annoying. Personally, I thought there was the ghost of a line that you didn't need to tip it sideways to see. Friend say no. She reckoned that if you looked at it sideways there was a groove, but I may have made that by staring at it! Grin I'm not testing again until Friday. I will revert to the rules!

Thundercatsarego · 24/04/2013 16:50

Hmm I'm a bit worried about sharing a thread with you saggy, if you can dent a stick just by looking at it.

I won't slap you today- too fed up. I'm sure someone else will though.

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 24/04/2013 17:04

Do you need a reciprocal slap Thunder? Or a hug? {{{}}}}

Thundercatsarego · 24/04/2013 17:25

Thank you saggyoldlasereyes

Sorry you're feeling down today, thunder, big hug to you. I've still got my fingers crossed for you saggy and will only give you a light spanking with that Dover sole for testing early!

I'm also on the gardening bandwagon. I saw an available allotment site yesterday which I've agreed to take on so hopefully soon I'll be living the good life! I am also trying to tempt fate as it will be quite hard managing an allotment whilst pregnant so let's see what happens Smile.

BirdsDoIt · 24/04/2013 19:44

Could someone add me as I'm on my phone?

Birdsdoit 0DC, 1MMC, TTC cycle 0, AF due ??? maybe 5 May...

PSE really made me laugh - I remember that from January when we got the first ever so faint is-it-really-there-or-have-I-finally-lost-my-mind line...keeping my fingers crossed for you saggy and santa.

On the subject of tests, I can't seem to bring myself to throw away the pregnancy tests I did with my first pregnancy - I kind of feel like they're the only proof that I was, once, pregnant. Is anyone else keeping theirs or not knowing what to do with them?? I know it's ridiculous. Especially as there are eight of them.

Interesting to hear about acupuncture - I'm going to get a massage on Monday evening with someone who specialises in fertility issues - decided against the abdominal sacral massage route because it all sounded a bit extreme (though interesting to read about). I thought aromatherapy massage etc will be lovely anyway and if it helps with the TTC then bonus!

I've been away a few days - had a quick scan and sorry you're feeling down thunder ... Me too grrr - we all need some good luck.

Had scan yesterday to investigate why AF still not here after 9 weeks - anyway doc said all fine - I've just OV so expect first AF since December in about 10 days .....delayed probably due to stress ... How Strange!! Then we can start on the roller coaster of TTC!!! Xx !

Well done for doing the list above! X I'm going to also book massages, acupuncture lots of things to look forward to x

fod27 · 24/04/2013 21:22

Sorry if I've missed anything here but......hang on...... According to our stats should santa be testing for BFPs soon?

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 24/04/2013 21:34

Yup. Me too. Not sure where Santa is at today, but at last post she felt that she was pg but wasnt going to test until Friday. I am going to do the same.

PurpleGeekyGirl · 24/04/2013 21:44

Hi adding myself to this thread following a mc at weekend Hmm am in limbo at the mo, one moment I'm fine, then I get all upset for no reason... Hoping that will calm down soon. Also, my bits are aching, is this normal??! Feel like I've been kicked in them.

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 24/04/2013 21:49

Its all normal. Take care of yourself, give it time and dont be a hero. {{{hug}}}

Ariel21 · 24/04/2013 22:14

Not sure I'm ready to go on the list, unless I am on cycle 0 in which case I am:

Ariel21 0DC 1MC TTC cycle 0 AF due who frickin' knows!

Hi Purple Sorry to hear your news. I'm sure sore bits are normal, my residual symptoms include mega bloating and gas, and generally being knackered.

Sorry peeps, I'm around but only got access to a phone this week so posting is hard work!

Still no AF so looks like a POAS Friday for me too. Saggy, maybe a digi stick for you on Friday? Better than torturing yourself?

Hugs for thunder- unlike you to be so down so sending you some posifrickitivity.

All ok here, but still not convinced I'll be happy with either result. Starting to get my hopes up and thinking oooh, it would be a Christmas baby, then I remember I've been here twice already and it would only end in another mmc, ERPC, and two weeks off work. Garrgghh!

Haven't posted for ages but still here! Would someone mind adding me please

0dc 1mmc, ttc cycle 2, af due 26th April

Def agree with counting cycles from ttc again and not the start - far too depressing!

Loving pse! I also broke the rules and poas on Tuesday it's amazing how long and hard you can look at a white stick!!

Not that hopeful this month don't have any symptoms and feel like af is on her way. If af appears I have to go and have internal scan on cd1-3 because of possible cyst seen at my follice tracking scan this month. I've never had a scan when I've been on before sounds messy!

Fingers crossed for good news tomorrow saggy and Santa :)
