Part 3 for a chatty lot!
3 is the magic number, good things come in 3s, so here is hoping we get plenty more BFPs.....

Thank Hungry! Off to get some more test. Want to be sure sure!

Monstersaurus · 14/12/2013 06:53

Congratulations Swede! Really pleased for you. Perhaps today was the right day for you to test after all. Xmas Grin

HungryHorace · 14/12/2013 07:43

I know that feeling!

Monster, you're next to POAS then. :-)

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 14/12/2013 07:58

Wow. Lucy - I think yours may be the luckiest thread of all Grin congratulations again swede Thanks

engels - im sorry you're going through this. I really hope you get sorted very soon. New year, new start etc x

noitsachicken · 14/12/2013 08:02

Congratulations Swede
I haven't been here for a while, wasn't much happening! But had a positive OPK today so that's a start!

SwedeAway · 14/12/2013 10:43

Ah thanks everyone. Just did a Clearblu digi, says 2-3 weeks! Just need to tell DH now.

HungryHorace · 14/12/2013 10:47

Yay! :-)

He will be so excited. Will you tell your parents face to face while they're with you?

CallingAllEngels · 14/12/2013 10:54

Congrats swede !

Thanks truth I'm not pushing it this month as I don't want a telling off from hospital. No DTD last night (DH....men!) but we'll see (and I REALLY want some Baileys on Christmas day!).

Just marking my place as MIL has DS for a few hours so I can get some marking done.

BBL

donnas1984 · 14/12/2013 11:47

Swede amazing news congratulations!

15 weeks tomorrow it's flown in! Got my scan date for 20th Jan ill be 20+1
Bad news is. sh hot mqde redundant yesterday so my plans of being a sahm are looking lwss likely now Sad xx

donnas1984 · 14/12/2013 11:58

dh I mean

SwedeAway · 14/12/2013 12:23

Hungry - I think I will have to tell parents and in-laws as we are all celebrating Xmas together. I usually do not say no to a glass of red so they will figure it out anyway.

Donnas - so sorry to hear about your dh's job. Was it totally unexpected?

Wanted to buy a pregnancy mag at the shops before but as my dad was with me I couldn't.

Haven't got my head around this yet. Not even sure when my due date would beBlush

donnas1984 · 14/12/2013 12:58

Swede we had an idea but nothing was concrete untill yesterday. He is hoping to start up his own landscaping business it was something he dabbled in during the summer months. I genuinely think he can do it he just needs a push in the right direction x maybe we can work together I can manage his books haha x

HungryHorace · 14/12/2013 13:28

Swede, 20 something of August I'm guessing as I'm 23 DPO today and due on 14th.

I did wondering they'd guess, Swede, hence asking. :-)

Donna, that's not good. When does your DH finish work? Is there much else around where you are?

I can't believe you're 15 weeks already!

I could do with going back to bed. Shame that won't happen!

SwedeAway · 14/12/2013 13:38

Donnas - yes starting own business can be a bit scary I guess but as you said, a push in the right direction will help. Hope all goes well!

Hungry - just calculated on the net and it said 22 Aug so we will be close in our due dates then although I suspect mine will be a bit earlier than calculated as I will have a c-section.

Waiting for DH to come home so I can tell him!

Windywinston · 14/12/2013 13:40

I knew it!!! Congratulations Swede that's brilliant news, I'm so pleased for you. What a fabulous Christmas present.

Good rhyming Lucy, let's hope the luck carries on and you get your BFP on this thread, I'm keeping my fx for you.

Engels, I'm so sorry this is all still dragging on for you, it's rubbish.

All is well here, DD is having a nap then we're going to walk to the shops to start our Christmas shopping. I'm 17 wks now and still being sick, but not as bad as last time. Fortunately I'm over the exhaustion stage, so I feel 100% better than I did a few weeks ago. I'm so embarrassed though, I look like I did at 6 months last time, I'm huge! I think I'm starting to feel the odd fluttering which is lovely.

Let's keep these BFPs coming ladies, I have high hopes for this thread xx

HungryHorace · 14/12/2013 13:53

We are very close then. :-)

I'll be having a c section too I think, so I won't be going to term either.

Windy, my sickness stopped about where you are now last time. Hopefully yours will bog off soon too!

Craftychicken · 14/12/2013 14:55

Hi everyone, I'm very new to this and thought I'd say hello, hope you don't mind Smile. Me and DH have decided to start TTC and I stopped my pill on 4th December. We were going to wait until January and after AF but have DTD and I'm still waiting for the elusive AF!!! I've been getting a few PMT symptoms for the past week but no sign, I'm guessing it's too soon to have conceived.......Confused

Windywinston · 14/12/2013 16:32

Welcome Crafty! We're a pretty lucky group so far so you've picked well. I expect this to be the luckiest thread so far.

I did exactly what you did, decided we'd TTC again in the new year then thought lets just stop using contraception now. Got a BFP 2 weeks later, now 17 weeks. Previously it took us just over 2 years TTC and I put my luck down to this thread!

Talking of luck, I've just finished all my Xmas shopping and am sat in Starbucks having a hot choc whilst DH gets my presents. I'm feeling pretty good right now, but I do wish coffee shops wouldn't smell quite so much of coffee ;-)

Ha ha, that message was so good I posted twice! Sorry ladies xx

donnas1984 · 14/12/2013 18:19

Windy I had no idea you had issues ttc no.1 aswell, think mother nature gave us a break this time x

Toothpastekissesno2 · 14/12/2013 20:47

Congrats swede!!! That's great. What number are we on? Five or six?
My 12 week scan is Friday...(counting the days / mins !)
Engels I really can't believe your bad luck . All I can think is your body isn't ready yet. On the good side your body is obviously very keen to be pregnant so next time when it's right you should be in good position.
I'm eating chocolate and watching bad tv as dh out with the boys! X
