Looking for a Mum-to-be to buddy up! I'm TTC number 1 and not had any luck so far, having a couple of months off before we start trying again. x

Thankyou for all being so lovely (hugs) I don't know what I'd do without you all.

Issie339 · 17/05/2015 20:33

How's everyone else doing today? I'm not really having any symptoms today, got a horrible feeling it's going to be a BFN, don't know how I'm going to wait until Saturday to test!!

Brooke113 · 17/05/2015 20:41

Oh Issie (hugs) keep positive, the longer you can wait to test the better! I've learnt my lesson this time around. Wish I'd never tested early, as Af isn't due until Monday/Tuesday and with the spotting/cramps and blood in my urine, the doctor agreed that it's probably a cp and Af is going to start v.soon. I'm keeping everything crossed for you and Violet testing buddies x

VioletIbiza88 · 17/05/2015 20:51

Issie have you got anything on to distract yourself with these next five days? At least I'm working four of them so that should keep me occupied a little bit anyway

Brooke you couldn't help testing early when you thought something was wrong! I'm still hoping yours is ok and its just a really bad UTI. Guess its just a waiting game. Got my fingers crossed for you too.

My AF is due anytime between tomorrow and Thursday, let the tension continue!!

Brooke113 · 17/05/2015 20:53

Fingers crossed Af stays away for you Violet I'm going to drop a sample in to the doctors tomorrow to check x

sarah1391 · 17/05/2015 21:02

Hi everyone! Busy weekend so havent caught up yet.

brooke Flowers

AF hasnt turned up yet, if shes not here nearer the end of the week i'll test again. Feel a bit sick today :/ not really holding out much hope

Issie339 · 17/05/2015 21:07

violet Well I'm working all week from Tuesday so that along with DD should keep me busy! Have to take DD to her little dance class tomorrow and a few bits but that's going to be the tough day. Determined not to test until Saturday, I reckon I'll know if AF is coming before that as I normally get a bit of a lead up.

Brooke113 · 17/05/2015 21:11

When is Af due for you Sarah ooh this could be an exciting week on this thread then :) Fx for all of you.

I'm just going to take each day as it comes for now, nothing more I can do x

sarah1391 · 17/05/2015 21:21

brooke tomorrow but i think anytime in the next few days. Exactly, think u should have a little time to yourself and have a pamper etc to try to relax Cake

firsttimenewbie · 17/05/2015 21:54

Hey all
Looks like it will be a busy week on this thread!
I keep getting period pain like symptoms which come and go. AF Due sat/sun. Not too hopeful.
In other news just tried to have a celebratory meal with oh. He was on Prosecco I was on 'celebration schloer' urgh it was vile!! Give me alcohol any day!

Issie339 · 17/05/2015 22:06

Haha fake alcohol and fake coffee, it's a laugh a minute this ttc malarkey isn't it!

sarah1391 · 17/05/2015 22:19

The non-alcoholic cider is quite good though! I'm just sat here thinking there's no way i could be pregnant, need to cheer up haha

Issie339 · 17/05/2015 22:29

What were you celebrating newbie anything exciting?

Don't be down sarah Flowers keeping my fx for you

firsttimenewbie · 17/05/2015 22:51

Haha yeah all fun and games.
Ooh which cider? I have tried Kopperburg which was ok. Becks Blue is my fav alternative atm.
Dont' be down sarah it will happen.
Issie DH got a pay rise which makes things a lot easier for us. :-)

Issie339 · 17/05/2015 23:01

Ooh fab newbie, great timing too with a (hopefully) baby on the way Wink

VioletIbiza88 · 18/05/2015 05:59

Dpo 11 day morning all! New symptom these past two days - nightsweats, never had before in my life. I think I might be a radiator....

Hope af stays away from us all today, I notice she's due for a few of us me included.

Have a good day people x

Brooke113 · 18/05/2015 08:30

Great news on the pay rise front newbie

Keeping everything crossed that Af stays away for you Violet

I'm going to pop a sample into my doctors and they'll call me later with the results as lots seem to think I have uti symptoms :( I have to say though, I don't have any pregnancy symptoms anymore though :( no sore boobs anymore, however much I prod them Blush I'm just not feeling good.

Agreed Issie this ttc malarkey is tough :(

firsttimenewbie · 18/05/2015 11:09

Good luck brooke hope the results come back quickly.

FX for you all staying AF free.

I had a dream last night that we found out I was pregnant. Was so realistic took a while to realise it would just a dream. :-( Although bizarrely we also found out it was a girl and were devastated.....dont know where that came from.....we would love any gender!

sarah1391 · 18/05/2015 11:56

Morning everyone! I'm feeling emotional today, this is not a good sign as I get emotional the day before AF is due...although sometimes I'm emotional for no reason.

newbie it's the pear kopparberg one i've tried, doesnt taste the same as the alcoholic version but tastes like sweets! Dreams are weird haha i havent had a pregnancy dream for a few weeks now, get them a lot. And congrats to DH!

Fx AF stays away for u violet and anyone else who AF is due for today...no sign of her here yet

brooke good luck. Maybe it is a uti, especially if you've been dtd a lot!

Issie339 · 18/05/2015 14:10

Ooh a lot of symptom spotting the morning!! Grin

I've been sadly symptom free all morning though i have that burning, pulling sensation in my uterus again now (just slightly). No sign of AF yet, I'm 9dpo

Brooke113 · 18/05/2015 18:20

That sounds positive to me Issie

Keeping everything crossed for your bfp too Sarah I am extremely emotional atm I keep crying for no reason at all.

first hopefully that dream is a good sign, I'm sure I've read that pregnancy can cause weird dreams :)

firsttimenewbie · 18/05/2015 19:55

Yep sounds positive issie

brooke, issie I am also feeling very emotional tonight. Feeling really bloated and like its definitely over. I know I am being stupid because we haven't been trying long at all but can't help feel gutted. But thanks brooke that makes me feel a bit better :-)

Issie339 · 18/05/2015 20:37

Thanks for the positive thoughts everyone, trying not to get my hopes up too much but...

VioletIbiza88 · 18/05/2015 21:32

Sorry to hear a lot of you are feeling very emotional today. It's an extremely stressful time, and its hard to think about anything else at the moment, so it is bound to get on top of us.

Brooke has the pain subsided any? Hope you will get some answers tomorrow. Good luck hope it is just a bad uti and bean is ok. Actually today at work someone came in in absolute agony and that was with kidney infection and kidney stones.

AF has stayed away so far, which means my cycle has definitely been longer than it was last month. Not sure if that means I'm officially late yet, as my app doesn't predict AF until Thursday. Still got the feeling that AF is coming any second and had to keep running to the loo at work today to check, when I was so sure I could feel it coming and then it hadn't.
