Waiting to test...

I seriously didn't realise just how all-consuming ttc was. We've 'dabbled' a bit since last January but not really gone for it but following a mc in OCtober we started trying 'properly' this month.

MY cycle is really irregular, although the last one was 28 days and I'm now on cd27 and the temptation to test is just too much. I've got lots of symptoms but while I'm wondering if I'm pg, at the same time I know they could also be af sypmtoms... only difference is I've got extremely sore nipples (ouch, even wearing a t shirt hurts and I can't work out whether it's better with or without a bra on), which I've never had (even in last 2 early pgs)but I've also got sore boobs, crampy feelings, sore back etc which are also my af symptoms! Think the chances of getting pg firsst time are quite unlikely tbh.

The wait until I can test- in fact the not knowing WHEN I can test- is awful. This is only month 1 so I dread to think how bad it'll be after this!

I don't know what the point of this post is but felt I needed to get it off my chest a bit as nobody in RL knows we're ttc and if/when I do get pg I'd like to keep it quiet for as long as poss.

HOw on earth do all you ttcers cope??!!

We don't, hence all the mad posts!

Come and join us on the March thread and see just how mad we are. You would be very welcome!

Thanks Beansprout. I did join a bit last year but there's (understandably) a bit of when people who haven't been trying long get a bfp and I wanted to be in the position where I had been trying for a while before I joined in case I got lucky and got a bfp quickly (unlikely I know!). I know I'd get a bit wound up if lots of people joined in then left again really quickly when I was still ttc. I know how much support ttcers get from the board and didn't want to interfere with that. Plus I don't want to analyse it too much yet!
It's just so frustrating not knowing!

That's really considerate, but don't worry about that, it's really a case of everyone in. It is a mixed bag though, and I do see what you mean!

Hayls · 22/02/2007 10:56

I'm glad, Don't normally sound as inarticulate as I did in that post! Might wait a bit then jump in though. Will see what happens this month (fingers crossed but trying not to get hopes up too much at same time)

Will keep my fingers crossed too! Good luck!

Hello!

Don't worry about being new and getting bfp, we were all new once (oh I sound like I've been here forever - I only joined in nov.) and we'll all get our bfp eventually too! I still feel like a bit of a rookie sometimes, but I've learnt loads of useful stuff on here.

Hayls I just wrote a message to you in the March thread but I couldn't remeber your name! I second what everyone else has been saying.

Hayls · 03/03/2007 11:17

I just did pg test and got a very faint line. Does that mean a real positive or something else? Any advice would be much appreciated. Don't want to get my hopes up! Dh can see the line too, although it really is faint.

trace2 · 03/03/2007 11:35

Hayls congrats are in order

dont know if you remember me i was trying for two years and you joined our thread, i do remember you

LadyOfTheFlowers · 03/03/2007 11:41

if the line is there,no matter how faint, you are preg.
do another in a few days time with your first wee, the most concentrated and it will be much darker!
took me ages to get my first.
big hugs and congrats to you!
Xx

Hayls · 03/03/2007 16:44

Trace of course I remember you. Hope all going OK with you. Have since done another 2 tests, all with faint lines so think I might be pg...
Am being very cautious though as had early mc in OCtober and don't want to go through that again.
Seriously never thought it would happen first month!!
