Ds has been fine all day, thanks for the understanding. But clearly I've got to say something to nursery tomorrow.

Hi zebra, I conceived dd while bfing my eldest ds. It can be a little harder to conceive as cycles tend not to be so regular. But if it's only down to one feed it shouldn't have much impact. You may find pin pointing ov with a stick helps. Makes sure you're eating really well too. Good luck.

Linda I'm so sorry about your friend. What a week you've had. I hope you and the dc are on the mend Thanks and much better soon.

MrsExtraOrdinary · 05/04/2014 17:59

Poly I think I'd do it after. Because then I'm not sure I'd hold it together enough to enjoy a baby shower. I'm not sure though as I've never been to one Blush I used to think they were a bit American but that's probably because I never knew enough people who'd be excited for me to bother with a party, lol. They weren't invented 16 years ago.

I remember very clearly on dc3 when I'd tested about a million times and got BFNs, going to visit a friend who'd just had her first. As soon as I had her newborn in her arms I knew I was pg. I just knew. Came home did a test the next morning and finally bfp at about 7 wks.

Poly will you be able to resist ?

PolytheneGirl · 05/04/2014 18:12

Exactly, I don't think I will be able to resist unless I go straight to the loo in the morning and flush it! I'd feel great being there knowing I had a little secret bean in there though!

I myself am completely anti-baby shower! I think they are "American twaddle" this may just be because no one threw me one?

Ideally though I wouldn't test for another couple of days. I may go completely insane before AF is due later this week!

gennibugs · 05/04/2014 18:12

Bah to a bfn Linda. How many dpo are you?

Poly I think I'd wait. I'd rather not know I think. But then I prefer being in denial and having hope, I know others just want to know one way or another.

gennibugs · 05/04/2014 18:14

I've never been to a baby shower - are they just like a mini tea party with gifts?

PolytheneGirl · 05/04/2014 18:18

I've never been to one either, but I think that is the general idea, with lots of baby talk. Is it acceptable to get completely off your face in the tww? I can't see me getting through it without some major tears in the lady's.

I do like the idea of clinging on to any hope I have for as long as possible!

lindamagoo · 05/04/2014 18:47

genni af was due yesterday so god knows what's happening...

My pal had a baby shower, I never went but even she said it was dull, all cake, coffee and baby talk, it was a surprise shower for her long awaited baby but she said she'd rather everyone else got sloshed and had a laugh instead of tea party'ish and sensible, lol

ZebraZeebra · 05/04/2014 18:49

Poly if it were me I'd probably test tomorrow but I'm pretty lacking in any kind of self control. So will you be 12 DPO tomorrow?

MrsExtroadinairy thanks yeah I've been using OV tests sticks for a few months and have been regularly ovulating. My period came back very early post partum but it's been a while since I fully ovulated. Fun times!

I hate this. I get myself into such a tizz. Last four months, same pattern - testing early and not really believing the BFNs because I've tested so early. And hen AF finally comes, being so disappointed. 12 DPO tomorrow.

Good luck to everyone.

Treaclepie19 · 05/04/2014 18:52

Well spent the afternoon with my friend who is due in August. She started ttc the same time as us so a little sore about it even though i am so happy for her. Bought her baby his first present today.
Struggling to keep it together!

Got BIL and SIL coming over later and I know they will talk about ttc. They dont know we are. Already having a glass of wine. Dont normally drink in the 2ww but dont even know if ive ovulated? :/

Starbright24 · 05/04/2014 19:10

I used to have a lab too. Definitely love them and want another (ex took my last one many years ago Sad )

Af here definitely now. Not sure what silly sticks were doing this morning but I've just ordered anothrr batch and opks for next cycle.

Never been to a baby shower. It's bad enough listening to my sis talking about when she was pregnant with herlittle boys years ago - and tthey're my little nephews who are gorgeous. Not sure how much I'd enjoy one.

Starbright24 · 05/04/2014 19:11

Fx for everyone else of you lovely ladies on the bus.

PolytheneGirl · 05/04/2014 19:12

I'll be 11dpo tomorrow Zebra so it is still early.

Well done for holding it together Treacle I think medically it is ok to drink in the tww. With DS I get absolutely smashed about a week before I found out I was pg and he turned out better than fine! he was unplanned

Treaclepie19 · 05/04/2014 19:23

Thanks Poly, the whole process is getting me down this month. I just want it so much. Sorry for moaning, i know we all want it.

I shall continue with my wine :)

PolytheneGirl · 05/04/2014 19:28

I know exactly where you're coming from Treacle I've been feeling exactly the same this month, particularly this last week. It's not that I'm not happy for people I know who are pregnant, I just find it all very difficult to be around. It's just hard! Wine Cheers.

Treaclepie19 · 05/04/2014 19:42

Wine cheers :)

Fingers crossed for us both. I should be around 2dpo today. If i ovulated.

htbftm · 05/04/2014 19:51

Hi all, hadn't technically joined the April Bus, life took a turn in January when my Dad died out of the blue, so ttc had taken a backseat, but we managed to dtd about the right time last mth and I got a BFP this afternoon! Can't believe it!! :)

PolytheneGirl · 05/04/2014 19:56

Htbftm congratulations! What happy news! Thanks

lindamagoo · 05/04/2014 20:08

Htbftn congrats, fab news after your sad start to the year Thanks

htbftm · 05/04/2014 20:45

Thx Poly and Linda! :-) Fingers crossed for everyone else this month! xx

kurama · 05/04/2014 21:06

congratulations htbftm thats great news Grin i have to go to a babyshower with dh soon. its for his workmate but i think i went majorly ott with what i got..... just wishing i was buying stuff for me so i just went overboard. not sure how im gonna cope with it. 4 ppl in 6 months all with unplanned pregnancies Sad bring on more booze!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 05/04/2014 21:07

Htb you must be thrilled, I'm so pleased for you, congratulations Thanks

gennibugs · 05/04/2014 21:10

Congrats htb! Lovely news Grin. You must be over the moon,

I really really really hope this is the month for us all.

Goodthingscometothosewhowait · 05/04/2014 22:26

Congratulations htbftm what lovely news for you after such sadness, I'm sure your Dad is looking down on you x

Sorry to those who got a bfn, hope AF stays away for you and you can test again. Fx for a more positives.

I've been to a baby shower, found it a bit forced to be fair. We weren't ttc at the time so wasn't annoyed by the situation but there were party games, pop, party food and party bags like a children's party but with all adults. Bit weird.

Blondie276 · 05/04/2014 22:32

Hi everyone- just trying to catch up after a super busy few days. ( wow I've missed loads judging by the number if posts lol)
My stats English are blondie276. TTC #2. Cycle 1. Bfp due around the 23rd ( I think- just had first AF post baby so no idea how long my cycles are but we will go with that!)

Hope everyone is doing well and I'm shaking around some positive vibes for everyone!

Treaclepie19 · 06/04/2014 00:26
