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.....

Welcome Crafty. hope you get your BFP soon.

Sorry to hear about your husband donnas. Rubbish time of year to get that news.

As for me, AF hasn't arrived quite yet. A bit more spotting but no actual AF today. I'll test again tomorrow if things aren't any clearer. Slight cramping all day which isn't fun. I have been quite emotional and bloated though. All remains crossed.

Thanks for starting the new thread Lucy, hope the lucky trend continues for you.

Hi Crafty! Welcome to the lucky thread. :-)

Good luck tomorrow, Monster. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Windywinston · 14/12/2013 21:48

Gosh Donna, sorry I completely missed your post, so sorry about DH's job. I hope things work out. I think you're right about TTC, we deserved a bit of luck.

Good luck tomorrow Monster xx

Hungry - is there an August thread somewhere? Have you joined.

Monstersaurus · 15/12/2013 08:16

Another bfn this morning. Xmas Sad No AF either. Xmas Smile

Perhaps tomorrow...

SwedeAway · 15/12/2013 08:55

Sorry about the bfn Monster. When is/was AF due?

Monstersaurus · 15/12/2013 09:00

Yesterday. Not quite sure what is going on. Spring has settled for now. Nothing I can do but wait and test again tomorrow. It is so very frustrating.

Monstersaurus · 15/12/2013 09:01

Spring = spotting

SwedeAway · 15/12/2013 09:10

Just told DH. He is over the moon! Feel much more relaxed now. Think I will tell my parents next week. So nice that only the two of us know for now.

Sitting outside watching DD play in the pool. Lovely Sunday morning.

SwedeAway · 15/12/2013 09:13

Monster- yes it can be so bloody frustrating. It plays tricks with your head for sure. But it ain't over until AF arrives so I remain positive for you!!

Monstersaurus · 15/12/2013 09:40

Looks like AF has arrived. Oh well. Here's going the third cycle is lucky for us.

Sound like a lovely Sunday Swede. Must be lovely to have told your dh.

HungryHorace · 15/12/2013 10:08

Oh, bugger Monster. I was hopeful too. :-/

But third cycle is quite lucky round this way. The last 3 BFPs were all third cycles. :-)

Swede, I'm glad your DH is happy. I couldn't imagine waiting 24 hours to tell mine. Your parents will be so pleased when they know. FWIW I'm predicting twins as both of your ovaries hurt!!

And yes, here you go: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/antenatal_clubs/1938912-August-2014-What-a-Christmas-present?msgid=43649193

CallingAllEngels · 15/12/2013 10:56

Sorry to hear that monster.

donna what awful timing with your dh - just before Christmas as well.

no more dtd here. I'm not pushing it wirh dh. Feel like I should wait till we get the all clear from hospital ( Though we may get a miracle pg from Thurs!).

It's another year another chance. J u st gave to decide what to do re: best friend's wedding. Do we stop ttc for a few months?

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 15/12/2013 11:29

monster - I'm sorry. I really thought this was going to be your month Sad

engels - it's your call, but personally I wouldn't have put ttc on hold for someone else's wedding.

HungryHorace · 15/12/2013 11:38

I'm with ATruth on this one, Engels. I really wouldn't put it on hold.

CallingAllEngels · 15/12/2013 12:19

I know ladies. That's what my dm, dh and one of our mutual friends said. I don't think I would even think about it if it was anyone else. She's my best friend, as close if not closer than my Dsis's, I'm a bm, she lives on the other side of the world but is coming back to the uk to get married.

IF and I know this is a big if, I got pg in Jan dd would be probably the week if not the day of the wedding (if my cycle stays as regular as it always has).

Still, I don't want a bigger gap with ds than I can help. You can't plan these things.

Awakeagain · 15/12/2013 17:54

Ooh I was just nosing around for a thread to keep me going!!
Went for a. Appointment to have my implant out so I can start ttc, couldn't do it there an then, next appointment is in January (last time they were able to do there and then) the lady said I can try ringing this wed to see if they have enough staff to do it - having to go to a sexual health clinic for it as the doctor who does it at my doctors is on long term sick
Exciting to see bfp's
I hope mine won't be too far away after implant removal

BetterNotBitter · 15/12/2013 18:25

Hurrah for thread 3. I accidentally pressed 'hide' on thread 2 and I couldnt see it anymore!!!

Congratulations to swede on bfp.

Sorry for your bfn monster, hope youre ok.

Donna what a rubbish time of year to get that news. How are you feeling about it?

Engels, I agreee with the others, there were afew things in our diary for next year we considered taking a break certain months for but in the end we decided against it.

Windy, has your sickness been very bad? Mines not been bad yet, more a general constant nausea feeling which I'd rather than actually being sick. I think it helps that I dont have to be up & out on a morning like last time. With my first one I was constantly pulling the car over on the way to work to be sick. The worst thing this time is the fatigue, way way worse than last time.

Hungry, how are you?

Sorry to anyone I've missed.

Had a nice weekend this weekend, juat topped off by watching polar express with husband & LO. The last few days have been a little overshadowed by a tiny bit of light pink discharge (sorry tmi) but it was only twice and literally the tiniest bit (had to squint to see it) and no pain or bleeding so im just going to carry on as if it never happened?

CallingAllEngels · 15/12/2013 18:26

Welcome awake.

In the spirit of not being pg I am eating goats cheese and drinking lovely wine

HungryHorace · 15/12/2013 18:54

Hi Awake! Hope you get your implant out sooner rather than later.

Engels...yummy!!

Better, I'm still not feeling amazingly pregnant. I'm tired and a bit achey / crampy but otherwise relatively symptomless! Are you having night sweats? Mine are utterly grim. Hate them. :-/

We walked about 3 miles today. It was nice to go out as a family, but it's wiped me out for the rest of the day.

HungryHorace · 15/12/2013 18:56

Oh, and yes, ignore the CM!

Awakeagain · 15/12/2013 18:58

Engels, that sounds like a good plan!!
I may try and enjoy all the finer things in life for the next few weeks
I'm justSad at my plans not falling into place but oh well!!
I told the 2 girls I work with about being hopeful for implant removal this week so they know if I have to dash off

donnas1984 · 15/12/2013 20:21

hi awake good luck getting your implant out I had mine removed 17 weeks ago and im currently 15 weeks pregnantGrin fx ur as lucky as me!

Kt1991 · 15/12/2013 20:23

Thanks for the new thread lucy! Lets hope this thread is even luckier!! Congrats swede! Lovely early Xmas prezzie! Sorry to hear AF has arrived monster see you on the January bus thread though here's hoping that's our month! Sorry to hear about your DH donna'hope something comes up soon, that's all you need right by Xmas. engels'i hope things work out soon for you, and I agree with the others, keep TTC :) sorry to anyone else I've missed trying to catch up on my phone is hard! As for me I'm a bit concerned this cycle, have has really strange period like cramps on the left side every now and again last couple of days but surely I can't be ovulating this early? First day of last period was 3rd dec I have a period every 5 weeks so I've been estimating Ive been ovulating 3 weeks after first day of last period? If this is right it's only a 10 day lutheal phase about so it won't be long enough for an egg to fertilise? I'm definatly going to book docs apt for jan as I want to be referred to check if its the PCOS doing this or something else.
