So it's my first cycle of ttc number 3. I'm only 2dpo but I'm so, so impatient! Grin

Anyone else entering the 2ww madness? X

Make that 29th Jan.

Congrats sebsmummy!

Af due in 6 days for me. I feel less hopeful today though.Shock Boobs have settled down a bit and having looked at my dates again I think the chances are pretty slim.

cheshirem2b · 15/01/2014 22:23

Awwww! So happy for you sebsmummy! Brilliant news! Grin

sebsmummy1 · 16/01/2014 07:27

Thank you so much guys xxxx

Decided to tell Mum last night via whatsapp. Oh it was so funny, you could hear the penny slowly dropping as I starting giving her information. I

Istarted by saying are you near the calendar as I want you to clear a day in September. She was all 'but that's ages away!!' And I said, yep, about 9 months. So she writes 'And!?????? What now?' And I said, I'll be giving birth hopefully, and she wrote, 'how do you know that??!!!' Errrm because I'm pregnant lol. Was so funny!!!

Congratulations to those with great news!
How very exciting! Grin
Today I'm 3 days late. I've not been late in 15+ months of TTC. I feel strange today. Tired, nauseous, off my food & cups of tea. No sign of AF. I took a test yesterday morning (day 2) and the night of day 1. No BFP yet. I'm hoping tomorrow morning will have one for us! It's sending me crazy. Wish me luck ladies, & good luck to all of you waiting xx

Vickitoriana · 16/01/2014 11:43

I am due on tomorrow or Saturday... The spotting has stopped now... Boobs are still tender... I felt horrid this morning before I left the house for work... Stil getting nausea. What annoying is that you can look for. Symptoms and convince yourself you are... I am not testing until after AF is due now...

sebsmum

Don`t be so harsh with your husband... man are just dealing with things differently. He is probably just to scared to accept it as he does not want to get disappointed. He seems to shut off because that his way of dealing with it on his own and it seems as if he is just about to cope with it somehow let alone having extra comfort for you...

Seems as if he wants a baby a lot...

I would make a doctors appointment at around 6/7 weeks for a dating scan ( I have just booked me in) and then he can SEE the little one jumping around in your belly and hear the heartbeat.

This is a magic moment ( had it with my first one as well) and such a wonderful wonderful experience for you and your husband and I am sure he will sit next to you crying and holding your hand....

Maybe if you had a few miscarriages push the scan to toward the end...
9/10 weeks as the chances of miscarrying drop considerably after this time.

A LINE is soooo far from the real thing that it can be sometimes very abstract to realise the whole thing and it takes often for a lot of people some time to sink in.

Ans the best way is as mentioned the scan where you can see in full reality the baby on a big screen and leave the hospital string at the picture they give you so that you can say over and over again . WOW I can`t believe it! :-)

Squeakybeaky · 16/01/2014 15:46

Ooh good luck vicki and jenfer. Can't believe how well you are holding off testing jenfer!

I caved again today and did another cheapie test! Think I can still see a little something - can you tell me what you think?

I made my friend do one too at the same time to rule out evaporation. Hers is totally clear!

Gonna do a first response in the morning :)

sebsmummy1 · 16/01/2014 15:59

I'm losing the pregnancy girls Sad. I've started bleeding and it's red. Bloody devastating but at least it's very early I suppose. I don't rely understand chemical pregnancies but I assume this is what this is.

woolywhite · 16/01/2014 16:20

Hey folks.

Im a newbie at all this TTC stuff. I'm in my first cycle 2 week wait! Had sex Monday and Tuesday and ovulation guesstimated at yesterday or today. I understand the swimmers are good for around 5 days.

I'm the worlds most impatient person, and im guessing it's highly unlikely we'll hit the target first go - so im guessing im in for a looooong wait and test of patience.

I've never before counted down the days to a period date with such eagerness (for it not to come!) before. Good luck to everyone else :) xxx

Penguinttc · 16/01/2014 16:29

So sorry sebsmummy. Sending you big hugs xx I hope your resting up, having mc myself late and early, early is always better... But still very heartbreaking. Keep an eye on the loss, if it gets very heavy get yourself checked out. Xx

Af due 24th.... Feels like forever away. Wondering about testing early, but I don't want to be heartbroken when it's not a BFP.

Squeakybeaky · 16/01/2014 17:24

Awwwww so sorry sebsmummy. Xx

Mrsmorrison13 · 16/01/2014 18:35

Sebsmum I'm so so sorry , hope you are ok x

GlitterLily11 · 16/01/2014 18:52

Sending you love and hugs sebsmummy I can't imagine how terrible that must be. Heartbroken for you sweetheart xxxxx

Lottystar · 16/01/2014 19:52

I'm so so sorry Sebsmummy. Sending you all of my love. Even early it's heartbreaking due to the excitement, hopes and expectations. Look after yourself and try and focus on your ds, I know mine were the only thing which made me smile when I had the mc x

newforest · 16/01/2014 21:24

Sorry to hear that sebsmummy xxxx

sebsmummy1 · 16/01/2014 21:28

Thank you.

I now have some brown discharge only, just enough to mark a panty liner, so I've no idea what's going to happen, I guess it's in the lap of the gods.

I only have one hpt test left that I plan on doing in the morning to see if the line has got any darker since Wednesday mornings test.

What I did have in the cupboard though was an opk and it is a stonking peak reading with both lines as dark as each other. So for the moment there is obviously still HCG in my system. I guess that's something to be hopeful about.

babytinks89 · 16/01/2014 21:29

So sorry to hear that sebs!! ?? heart breaking. I lost my baby 11 weeks in November it was 1week before my scan, was horrible, and 1 week before my 24th birthday as well!!
Was a horrible ending to my year..

Ttc again this month... 3 days late with my 2nd cycle and negative test tonight gutted! But will continue to try

Sending big hugs and kisses.. Try relax and take it easy! and keep trying Wink

Vickitoriana · 16/01/2014 21:55

Sebs :0( xxxxxxxx

maeanne · 16/01/2014 22:49

Oh sebsmummy, keeping everything crossed for you. I know several ladies who have had early bleeding and gone on to have healthy pregnancies and babies, so don't lose all hope just yet.

cheshirem2b · 16/01/2014 23:16

Sebsmummy I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! Hope you're ok!

My best friend gave me a book to read (she's 38 & had her first baby this year - I'm only 30 & on first cycle TTC...) and it's called The Fertility Plan by Blakeway & David. I've not been able to put it down! Explains so much and how to improve chances, lifestyle, body types, fertility types...! Really interesting but helpful. Would recommend it!

sebsmummy1 · 17/01/2014 09:30

Hiya, god I put a terrible downer in this thread, I'm so sorry.

I have no idea what's going to happen but for the moment the bleeding has pretty much stopped and my hpt has got darker, so whilst not out of the woods there is still some hope.

So again girls, don't let the thread die as lots of people were getting BFPs xxxx Grin

Vickitoriana · 17/01/2014 10:14

It's great that the bleeding has stopped and if you are still getting BFPs its probs nothing pregnancy related. it's impossible not to worry though.

AF is due today and there's no sign yet. no spotting either. testing tomorrow on my day off. :0)

Lottystar · 17/01/2014 12:11

That's positive news Sebsmummy, I hope everything works out okay, although I'm sure it's hard not to worry - maybe take yourself off to the Early Pregnancy Unit any they can check your HCG levels xx

Lottystar · 17/01/2014 12:12

Oh and good luck tomorrow Vik Smile
