Hey all, just wanted to speak to someone else who is ttc! Everywhere I look there are people getting pregnant "accidentally"! There seems to be a flurry of this in work lately! And as I assumed I'd be pregnant by now (not having any known health problems etc), it is becoming more and more annoying when these young girls come in with their scan pictures..... I've been trying since November, which isnt a long time compared to some of the threads i've read on here, but to me it seems like ages! It's like it has taken over my thoughts! Every time we do it, i think, is this it? Is this the one?! And then the familiar pains start and i know that my pd is on its way... And I just think, not again! If I'd have know that there was such a small chance of getting pregnant, i wouldnt have been on the pill for 10 years! When I was in my teens, my mother would warn me that you only had to kiss a boy and you could get pregnant! A myth! There are 6 more days till my pd, I'm crossing them off the calendar like a maniac! And each day that i get through with no pain, is a bonus to me! Please tell me I'm not the only one totally consumed by this....

Hi waiting,

You are definitely not the only one - we have only started trying this month and I am already completely consumed with it!
Wishing you all the luck in the world and hope this month is your month (my period is also due in 6 days so hopefully we will both be celebrating )

waiting4bambino · 26/03/2007 22:16

Hi Skidaddle, thanks for your message.. Is this your first time ttc? It is for me. It is both agonising and exciting all at once! I feel like i can't really complain about it taking a few months as there are some girls on here who have been waiting years etc, but I really want it to happen now! And I assumed it would too. Do you mind if I ask, has it changed your sex life?! It has for me, I dont think it has for my husband, apart from the fact that i have kind of insisted that we do it on particular days!! When we decided we'd try, I said I wouldnt do all the counting etc, and just let it happen normally - but when i realised the small window each month when you are fertile - I started counting like crazy and putting it on the calendar! Sometimes, I think, we shouldnt be doing it today, its not a fertile day! Obviously, I have to start thinking its just for fun too! And enjoy the ride, relax and get a big surprise one day! I wish you all the luck too, and keep me posted on whether you're lucky this month!

Hi waiting,

I know, it's strange isn't it - fantastic and horrible al at the same time!

We already have a dd (18 months) but she wasn't really planned so this is the first time we've actually tried.

Our sex life has actually got better and I've amazed myself at how often I can muster up the energy to have sex when there's a possibility of a baby at the end of it . However we're still in our first month and I'm sure a year down the line it's very different...

How are you feeling? Do you feel like you might be pregnant? I am quite sure I'm not (although still waiting) and have already resigned myself to trying again next month. I think this is my way of protecting myself against disappointment though.

What day are you testing? I'll be testing on Sunday.. Fingers crossed...

waiting4bambino · 27/03/2007 22:24

Hi again Skidaddle,
No, I'm not feeling like I'm pregnant, quite the opposite in fact. Feel like my period is on the way! I'll be on "knickerwatch" all this week!! Yes, I know what you mean about mustering up the energy! Me and my dh work different shifts, so I'm often tired when he is wide awake! However, I am showered and ready for action if its day 14!!
If I happen to be late this month, I'm gonna wait at least a week before i test, as I've been up to 4 days late and then it has arrived and the let down is awful. I find it quite hard to be positive when I feel like my body has failed me another month. I guess when it is your first baby, you don't even know if you can get pregnant, so there is that to worry about too.
But I will be dying to know the outcome of your test! So keep me posted! And if its a BFN for both of us, then we can stay in touch ready for April's attempts! Good luck! xx

Hi waiting,
Gosh, I am so impressed that you can wait so long. I gave in today and bought one of those First Response tests which are supposed to give results four days before your period is due. I know it is a stupid waste of money but I just couldn't help myself (well, didn't help myself anyway!). I will do the test tomorrow morning and when it is negative, as I'm sure it will be, I will learn from my mistakes and vow to do what you are doing for next month.

Will let you know the outcome and am waiting to hear yours too! xx

Oh no, waiting , I'm sorry. At least AF didn't keep you guessing I suppose. That's the cruellest - when it's late and you think maybe and then it's just a false alarm. Hope you can do something lovely like have a nice bottle of wine which you couldn't have done if you were pregnant. Hardly a consolation, I know but...

Well I did the test last night (couldn't even wait until this morning ). Initially did it and thought, negative, came down with my brave face on and showed it to dp and he looked at it and said, hang on there's a really really faint line there and I looked and there was. So now I'm really in limbo - does it mean i'm pregnant but I did the test so early it's hard to pick up or is it nothing? I really don't know but have a hunch that I might be. Does anyone else know what get a really faint line might mean? It was really really faint.

Oh dear, I don't dare to hope but can't help myself. Am going away for the w/e with dd so will not allow myself to do another test until I get back.

So don't know if I'll be joining you to try in April or not! Hope not if that doesn't sound terrible!! Hope you're not feeling too down, I know it's hard. Will keep you posted x

Hi annie,
Do you think it is good news then? It was a First Response test and it's hard to say when my period is due as my cycle is irregular but I think about Sunday - that would be 32 days which is about average.

I'm so on edge, can't think about anything else, butterflies in my stomach, starting to think about when s/he would be born and then stopping myself, aaaaggh!

FurryFox · 30/03/2007 11:14

I too think it sounds like good news skidaddle If you can wait till Monday then I would test again then if AF hasn't showed up. Fingers crossed for you

Thanks annie andfurry. I'm getting a bit giddy now! But the line was barely visible it was so faint - I mean I didn't even see it and God knows I wanted to! Dp was about to chuck it in the bin and when he noticed it. Don't want to get my hopes up unnecessarily - anyone else had any experience of a really really really faint line?
Thanks so much everyone for being so kind, feel like I'm about to burst into tears, don't know if it's happiness, anxiety or just pregnancy hormones!

I thought it was blue (?!), but will check when I get home. It did kind of fade into nothing so am not too confident.
Anyway will let you know and thanks again.
Best of luck to everyone testing this w/e

lisa111 · 30/03/2007 12:20

Hi Skidaddle, sounds like good news i dont get much time on the p.c as my 2DS are 18,15 and its murder trying to get them off. Anyway i have DS3 (8months old) on my knee as i type this. I have been ttc since nov my af comes 5th every month, so next week i will know either way. I have a 15yr age between DS2 and DS3 so i would like as little a gap as poss, hoping for a DD so we are trying the shettles method. I will not be able to have anymore after no4 as i had c/s with all 3 boys
Good Luck x

Congratulations!!!! I hope there's another line there when you test on Monday! Skidaddle, I am so glad for you! Can't imagine how you must feel!

Keep in touch, I will be waiting to hear from you on Monday!

Hi all,

Did the test on sat (obviously no chance of me waiting until today) and the line was darker, although still very faint so I think it must be true and I am pg . Still can't believe it but am so so happy and feel so lucky knowing how long many people here have waited and are still waiting.

Thank you so much to mners for your support, even though I've only been in this forum for a few weeks, it really has been my lifeline and the best of luck to all of you and hope you all get your bfps soon. I will def be checking to see how you are getting on and wish you all the luck in the world! xx

waiting4bambino · 02/04/2007 20:16

Congratulations Skidaddle! I'm so pleased for you, I only hope it happens for me quickly too! I bet you feel amazing! Enjoy it all and tell me all about your symptoms so that I can compare notes when i finally get pg!
