Don't worry missv I def see a line for you too. Not brave enough to go to antinatal thread just yet. I'll give myself a week and have a peek. Doesn't feel real. After ten months I'd just presumed I couldn't do it on my own.

babyspice2501 · 08/12/2013 10:02

Littleowlie sorry to hear that... there might still be hope.. af hasnt arrived yet.... maybe do another test when youd be 30/31 days in your cycle? You never know you still could of tested early and af pains could be implantation.

But I know what you mean about new gadgets. I actually like wakeing up in the morning to use my opk!! I get excited to see which face im gonna get

babyspice2501 · 08/12/2013 10:09

Science theres definitely a line there!! :)

PinkHat1 · 08/12/2013 10:18

Congrats MissV and Science!! How lovely to wake up to two more BFP this morning!

Missvaughan85 · 08/12/2013 10:22

I have to say a big thank you to all you girls old and new, who've had bfp's or a still waiting, I feel so very grateful to you all. To have you to talk to when your feeling low, excited and on the brink of utter madness. It is lovely to be able to talk about all of the ups and downs. X x

ImaginaryHat · 08/12/2013 10:58

Congratulations Science and MissV, absolutely fantastic news Flowers

lucyfluff · 08/12/2013 10:59

Awwww missv Im feeling a bit emotional this morning and that actually brought a tear to my eye! Your right though its so lovely having people to talk to on here Smile

Writer how are you and that little bubba doing?

Munday...im feeling hot this morning too! Are you testing this week??

Writerwannabe83 · 08/12/2013 11:06

lucyfluff - me and Bubba are doing really, really well actually. After a horrible start to the pregnancy I have now reached the point where I feel happy and excited and I now let myself believe that there will be a happy ending Smile

My health still isn't the best (my heart isn't coping too well) and I have now been signed off work indefinitely. I've had 13 weeks off so far and now have another 15 to go - I'm bored stiff but I know it has to be done. I am also being booked in for a C-section when I'm 38-39 weeks as my Obstetrician doesn't want me to labour due to my health problems, it's a bit daunting but I'm taking it all in my stride.

Baby is now moving all the time and it is the most amazing feeling in the world - I just feel so happy and I can't wait for him to arrive. Me and DH are probably going to start on the Nursery in the New Year so we are trying to decide on a theme we agree on Grin

MundayCakes85 · 08/12/2013 11:12

Writer it must be really scary for you, but feeling baby moving must make it all worthwhile!
Lucy AF probably due Friday so will try to hold off testing until then. Every month brings a different set of symptoms, I've given up guessing what's going on now Xmas Grin

babyspice2501 · 08/12/2013 11:52

Missv that was lovely!

Writer its good to hear you are happy now and its so lovely when you feel them move :) baby must be a healthy happy chappie! Im sure youll do great through the rest of your pregnancy and wish you all the health you deserve xxx

Ive been feeling abit down the past couple of days. I have a stressful week ahead of me. Hopefully ill be happy again by thursday. Big hugs needed atm

mammabear4 · 08/12/2013 11:58

Hi everyone, I've been a bit AWOL as have had a busy week so just trying to catch up on everything! Massive congrats to all with their beautiful BFPs!!! Thanks guys for the advice on OPKs, very much appreciated!
Still no sign of AF for me, it's been a week now, last did a test on tues night and got a BFN and I'm too nervous to test again!!!!!

Hopemummi · 08/12/2013 12:05

I got my af so I'm jumping buses ahead to January! Will take some of the lucky dust from here with me. Massive congratulations to all the expectant mums & see the rest of you on the jan bus. GrinGrin

Writerwannabe83 · 08/12/2013 12:08

mama Shock Get testing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nerves don't change results!!

mama31 · 08/12/2013 12:16

Huge congrats to science!!!! And MissV!! Very pleased for you both!!! :)

Writer glad to hear everything is going well x

All quiet here, usual sore boobs pre af so I'm sure it will arrive in the next few days!!

Finnable · 08/12/2013 12:17

Mahoosive congratulations to all the BFPers! Wonderful news!

I'm due AF today, but nothing so far... just POAS and BFN. Not going to give up hoping 'till the fat lady sings though!

In other news, off to see my friend's 2 week old today. I'm so happy for her, but I think my ovaries might explode! Xmas Grin

spinningirl10 · 08/12/2013 12:21

Mama....go poas now!!!!!Grin

Writer....so good to hear that you and baby are doing well, feeling baby moving is truly amazing Grin the elcs sounds like the best option for you, I'm sure you'll be we'll looked after and once he's in your arms you won't care how he came out.

MissV....MN is such a lovely place to be, everyone is so friendly and helpful and defiantly helps to keep me sane.....well a little bit! Grin

LH1981 · 08/12/2013 12:31

Yay missv and science!!!!! So so happy for you both.
Hi Mama, good to see you, hope you're holding out ok? xx

Well, poas this morning on a FR. There might be the faintest of lines but I think I'm making it up. DH can't see anything, and to be honest I always see lines!! I wish the line was either blue for BFN and pink for BFP or something so it would be obvious!!!

Not sure how many dpo I am so might just be early. Will test again in a few days.

ThisIsMeNow · 08/12/2013 12:40

Sooo, need a bit of talking to please! Grin
Fished yesterday's stick out of the bin (Shockgross I know!) and there was a line

BUT...

It's a day old, a blue test (notoriously dodgy) and I might just be googling too much.

It's definately a blue line and as thick as the control. I was convinced when I took it I could see something but then chucked it after the 10mins. It even shows up when I take a pic! So what do you think?!

BecauseIsaidS0 · 08/12/2013 12:43

'lo everyone! Is it too late to jump on the bus?

I'm due for AF or BFP on Monday the 16th. This month we have been very good at DTD regularly up until ovulation. On 5dpo I felt some really odd pulling sensations on my uterus, which gave me hope...then it all went away and now I just feel PMS-y as usual Sad. But it ain't over until AF arrives, I guess!

BecauseIsaidS0 · 08/12/2013 12:43

ThisIsMeNow, test again, test again!

mssleepyhead · 08/12/2013 12:51

all these bfps are so cheery - congratulations everyone!

ov+5 for me today and i think i'm having a secondary estrogen surge as i have ewcm again, but oddly my temp went up again today, rather than down...

big week ahead. wish there was something we could do other than just longing for the cells to stick!

spinningirl10 · 08/12/2013 13:02

Welcome Because....how long have you been trying? Fx for bfp soon Grin

Thisismenow.....you need to poas now!!!!! Grin

spinningirl10 · 08/12/2013 13:03

LH.....that sounds positive! Will you test again to tomorrow? Grin

ThisIsMeNow · 08/12/2013 13:13

I only have a digi and I'm not wasting that!! Grin

mama31 · 08/12/2013 13:13

Hi LH yes I'm coping fine! No idea how many dpo I am which is preventing me from obsessisng...its quite nice actually :) I'm just determined to enjoy all the festivities this month so haven't given it too much thought and I think that's been quite positive for me....saying that, I still hate the waiting and wondering! but I will be busy with Christmas stuff and no doubt the spotting will arrive on cue some time this week!

LH I hope it's a bfp!!!!! :)
