Sorry sleepingstars when is your BFP/AF due?

Oh no writer hope you and DH are ok, I'm sure it's getting a little stressful with your baby due soon!

I also POAS this morning but bfn :( although I think mine was too early so will try again at the weekend ... and next week (prob every day from now really). Any suggestions of good cheap pg sticks I could buy??

Sleepingstarsmommy · 22/01/2014 06:49

AF not due until Fri so know its early but just don't feel upduffed. Just feel very tearful which normally means AF is imminent.

sazzlehopes · 22/01/2014 07:02

Sorry sleeping you got a bfn. Hope it means you're not out yet...

Writer, no worries about the stats, they'll keep. How are you though? I hate fighting with the OH it is sucjh a horrid feeling. I remember a big fight when I was pregnant with my first and worried he baby would hear it all in my tummy Sad

Hope you've sorted things now though and that tea and choccie biscuits are helping Brew

panic! yes i do remember - it is hard to forget names on here when you've been on the buses for a good old while. So glad you are doing well, 19 weeks hey exciting times now. When is your dude date and will you find out the flavour at the next scan?!!

Littlemiss what is going on with you? Sick on a sip of wine? Hope it is a good sign...let us know when you poas!
FX for anyone else today xx

LittleMissSunshine33 · 22/01/2014 07:16

I know Sazzle crazy!!! How are you feeling? Have you booked a dr appointment yet?

Sleeping AF hasn't shown her face yet so you are still in this month!!!

spinningirl10 · 22/01/2014 07:24

Ah Sazzle what a lovely way to tell dhGrin

Writer, sorry you've had an argument. I really hate falling out with dp and he tends to go silent for a few days which is just awful. Hope you've sorted things out now Thanks

sazzlehopes · 22/01/2014 07:26

Well yes weirdly i had an appointment booked for Monday to discuss my next stage in working out what to do next about my infertility!! (Being over 35...just! And ttc for over a year) So I'm keeping that one and going in with good news instead! I'll only be just over 4 weeks but it'd be nice to get the ball rolling...

mrsb87 · 22/01/2014 07:51

Ah sazzle that will be awesome to just stroll in and tell them you don't need their infertility drugs!
Writer I hope you and dh are all kissed and made up now? Dh and u will have a full on shouting match and then its fine, doesn't seem to last longer than a day.

I took another test today to confirm my suspicions and got a much clearer bfp!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 22/01/2014 07:56

Oh Sleeping, sorry it's a bfn. But you're not out yet. Stay positive. Hopefully work will take your mind off it!
Writer, don't worry about the stats, hope you're feeling better this morning after your argument. Men really can be a pain in the arse at times!

LittleMiss when are going to poas?!

MrsB, glad you have a clear BFP today!! How exciting!!

Thanks guys. Here is a pic of the clearer line!

Greywacke · 22/01/2014 08:15

Congrats MrsB!

Another bfn here, although it is still early to test.

Still plenty of time to test!

Aisha18 · 22/01/2014 08:21

Congrats sazzle and mrsb...so great to hear your news, sorry I've not read back so congratulations to any I've missed too! I'm 13dpo so awaiting af (BFP!) feeling a bit scared as for the 1st month I've pinned all my hopes on a BFP and kind of kept telling myself this will be it, it's our 4th month and I thought it'd have happened by now...so I've been putting off work decisions etc, and just found out dh is going to be away for at least the next 4 weeks, so no chance...aghhhh! Why do we do this to ourselves?! Anyone else testing tomorrow or Fri?

Kittyrose1 · 22/01/2014 08:24

Hi ladies, so much to catch up on but really pleased to see more BFPs coming in, congratulations, what a lucky new year bus! Sorry to those who are still waiting, I am keeping everything crossed for you.

I ended up doing 3 tests all clearblue bfp inc one digital which confirmed I was 2-3 weeks since conception, have been to doctors and I'm 5 weeks, due date 23rd September, can't actually believe it still though?

Somebody asked way back when I wrote my stats/bfp info that they weren't sure about EPO when ttc but I've heard it's really good for hormone balance and production of cm hence why I have it a go natural-fertility-info.com/fertility-evening-primrose-oil.html there's quite a bit on the net.

onelifeonechance · 22/01/2014 08:24

Morning all

Had shocker of an afternoon (more like evening) at work yst so only just catching up. Congrats to balmy!! Is there someone else with bfp?? I'm easily confused!! If there is, congrats!!!

Sorry to those with af and hugs to sleeping, hang in there.

Panic, I remember you too, hello! Good to hear you're getting on ok and almost half way now Smile

Sazzle, your post made me cry, what a lovely way to tell hubby Smile Such a precious time I'm sure, enjoy!!!

Well ladies I'm off on a jolly to Rome, pasta&gelato here I come!!!! See you when I'm back, hoping I see many more BFPs!!!!!

Mama, hugs as always

onelifeonechance · 22/01/2014 08:25

Congrats mrsb!!!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 22/01/2014 08:35

ahhh MrsB that's alot clearer!!
Kitty congrats again! Very exciting!
Wishing you both health and happiness!!

Finally... THINK I ovulated yesterday!! Waiting for FF to confirm, but had a dip yday and now its risen! 2more rises and I can breathe a sigh of relief. If not I might cry!!

bumpbangbump · 22/01/2014 08:37

Well lots of bfps since I was last on. Big congratulations to you all!! Sorry to those who the witch bitch has got. She really is a vile visitor. February is going to be a lucky bus, so good luck to you all.

I'm due on Sunday so trying to hold out until next week to test. I have a frer in the cupboard and I want to pee on it! I will not, I will not, I will not!!!

Fx for some more bfps before our bus trip is over.

MrsExtraOrdinary · 22/01/2014 08:53

Thanks kitty think it was me that asked about epo. I used to take it to balance my mood (pmt) but stopped so I've started it again today. Feeling a bit sorry for myself this morning. It's my bday and just not feeling anything other than drained. Flo can just go fu*k herself. Having the mother of all periods. That's 2 hideous ones In a row. Usually I get alternate horrid ones so feeling a big hard done by on the bday front. Sad

Writerwannabe83 · 22/01/2014 09:56

Thanks everyone, we've been arguing a lot lately if I'm honest. I'm just stressed I think. I've been signed off for 16 weeks now, I spend all day in the house on my own fretting about the baby, the pregnancy, my health and the birth. All the complications I've had haven't helped. I'm up the hospital all the time having appointments to monitor me, I'm carrying all the stress and burden whilst DH's life hasn't had to change at all. I feel knackered all the time, I hardly sleep, I'm also severely anaemic too now and it's all just getting to me. I've honestly nearly walked out on my DH about 3 times so far. I'm dreading the baby coming because my DH hasn't got the faintest idea of how much chaos our life is going to be thrown in and how much I'm going to need his help and support and how important it is going to be that he's at home with us: according to our conversation last night he doesn't see why he can't just continue his life with the same carefree will that he does now whilst I'm just left on my own with the baby all the time. I can't tell if he is being incredibly naïve or just a selfish twat. Last night I just lost it with him. I actually nearly threw a plate at him I was so angry. We haven't really made up as such. We are going to the cinema tonight but if he thinks that changes any of my feelings towards him then he's wrong. So much for pregnancy/arrival of baby being one of the happiest times of your life. I feel alone, miserable and spend too much time crying.

Anyway - sorry for all the negativity after what has been a lovely few days on the bus. I'm going to update the list now because there have been loads of changes. I don't dare leave it another few hours, I won't be able to keep up wit you all Smile

spinningirl10 · 22/01/2014 10:08

Oh writer I'm sorry your dh is reacting like that. I don't think it's uncommon though. Our bodies go through so many changes when we're pregnant and it's natural for us to feel differently to them as we are carrying the baby and have such overwhelming feelings from the minute we get that bfp.

I really hope your dh is different when the baby is born and he can bond with it. My ex dh was not actually very good when my ds was a baby, I had an emergency c section and I remember him picking me up from hospital, taking me home and leaving me in bed and off he went back to work!!! He did get much better with ds when he could move around and started talking.

Big hugs to you Thanks xxx

EnglishGirlAbroad · 22/01/2014 10:41

Oh Writer, I really feel for you. Sorry your dh is being a pleb! I'm sure once the baby is here he'll be completely different. I can imagine it must be hard for men to connect to the pregnancy, because its not happening to them. They've done their job. But you are having a tough time and think he probably needs a bit of a gentle or not so gentle reminder!!

I hope things get better for you, enjoy the cinema tonight. Have a massive bag of popcorn!! And don't share!! Wink

Morning everyone! Sorry for BFNs this morning. It's not over until AF arrives so FX it's just too early!
Writer sorry to hear you had an argument, hopefully you're feeling better after your tea and chocolate biscuits Smile
I'm trying to upload a photo from my phone because I think I just got my BFP!! Only used a couple of ICs but I can see something, now my hearts racing!!

MundayCakes85 · 22/01/2014 11:02

Right I've put a photo up, could you have a look and tell me if I'm seeing things?!

Writerwannabe83 · 22/01/2014 11:08

Looks like a positive to me Munday !!!

Do you have any Superdrug/FRER tests in the house???
