Eek never started one of these threads before but thought i'd be brave.

is cd 1 today This was my first cycle since m/c in march. Feeling pretty positive about July - if i don't i'll cry .

Surely someone wants to join me and stop me looking/feeling like a fool!!

Oh good luck with your appointment Tigerchick.

ronshar · 02/07/2007 10:45

Yipee Derah. That is fantastic news. You can tell your boss you cant touch anything yucky officially now.
I am feeling so much better today. I have decided to have the summer off and try again in september. Partly for the very shallow reason that I dont want to have a April/May baby. Too many in my family already!
The rain has stopped today but still windy. I feel bad for anyone who is having to clear up after flooding, how horrible for you. Housework is bad enough normally!!

OK, someone tell me I'm being silly..... I went and tested again with my second Clearblue digital, which come up with a lovely positive again. But at the same time I used another cheapie stick. This morning my cheapie stick was fainter than yesterday, but I figured it was just a crap stick. But today's second one is really faint too. So faint I'd say it was negative. If my lines are getting fainter, does that mean my hormone levels might be dropping and I'm not quite as pg as I thought? I don't want to trust cheapie sticks but 3 yesterday (yes, 3!) vs 2 today can't be all that wrong, can they?

scorpio1 · 02/07/2007 11:13

IGNORE THE CHEAP ONES

and stop testing, you are pg!

tigerschick · 02/07/2007 11:15

I'd say, in the nicest possible way, that you are being silly!!

If you get +ve on CBD then you are pregnant. That is the best thing about them, they are not open to interpretation, you either are, or you aren't with them.

I know what you mean tho. With dd I tested about 10 times just to be sure... and I didn't know about cheapie tests, these were all CB ones!! Cost a fortune but it's about peace of mind isn't it.

derah, what number dc is this??

derah · 02/07/2007 11:19

Thanks Scorpio and Tiger. You're right, I need to stop testing and just be happy!

This is dc #2, dd1 is 1.10 and I need to stop hanging about on here ignoring her and go play with her!!

scorpio1 · 02/07/2007 11:23

derah, you will have a lovely age gap! there is 2.4 between mine, its great!

tigerschick · 02/07/2007 11:30

I'd like a maximum of 2.5 between dd and the next one as this means there is only one clear school year between them. This means I have to be pg by mid-November. ... Well, we'll see.

Blessed2 · 02/07/2007 12:05

Just lurking! Congrats derah

DontlookatmeImshy · 02/07/2007 13:29

Been away for a few days. Nice to come back and see a couple of BFP's. .

Congratulation to Sweetkitty and Derah.

Derah - stop testing I would trust the CB one above all the cheapy ones.

I'm on 9dpo and my cycles are a bit loopy. LP can be anything between 10 & 14 days so af could be here anytime from tomorrow (although I haven't had any PMT yet so probably not tomorrow). I'm going to try and resist the temptation to test until the weekend if af hasn't already arrived.

Anyone else testing in the next few days?

Flumpytigger · 02/07/2007 15:13

Hello ladies!

Congrats Derah and Sweetkitty! urgh I'm so tho, sorry
I believe lissie had some good news too??

I'm flippin CD 41 of a 33 day cycle here, so mightily naffed off
I've done 3 tests now and all BFN - suprise, so defo not pregnant. I just want my af to arrive now so that we can try again. I think that's the worst thing, it feels like my bodies playing tricks , knowing full well how it's making me feel

I'd noticed you weren't about tigerschick!
Welcome back! I'm glad you made the most of your hols despite the weather. It is poo at the mo tho, wheres the sun gone!?
Oh yeh and at massage - I want one!

LOL at your dp Scorpio.. I would make DH pay for that dearly

xx

Flumpytigger · 02/07/2007 15:15

dontlookatme - I'll be impressed by your willpower if you manage to wait until the weekend! I was testing 3 days before my af was due, I was so impatient !

Fingers crossed for a BFP for you!

xx

sweetkitty · 02/07/2007 15:47

hi ladies I'm impressed with the willpower on here, my AF was due Friday/Saturday, first test was cheapie on Tuesday faint +ve, tested Weds, faint +ve still didn't believe it so bought a CBD on Thursday that's when I got my BFP! So Derah you are definitely pregnant bin all the cheapie tests now Cheapie tests should be banned IMHO they give us crazy ttc nightmares trying to stare at them to ssee any lines.

Scorpio - I don't know how you ladies with long cycles manage it mine is 27 days and thats long enough. Best of luck though will be checking up on you

tigerschick - good to hear about your appointment everything crossed for you too x

Flumpytigger - welcome back sorry about your BFNs

best of luck to everyone else too hopefully some more of you will be joining us soon on the Due in March thread x

tigerschick · 02/07/2007 17:08

Thank you Flumpytigger and sweetkitty

Flumpytigger - sorry about your bfns. It's a pain in the bum all this waiting, isn't it?

Sweetkitty - hope you are keeping well. Have you got a booking appointment etc sorted?

sweetkitty · 02/07/2007 17:10

Oh God no tigerschick I don't think they even want to see you before the 12 week scan up here. Will phone in a few weeks and let the surgery know I'm pregnant. Suppose being my third I'm more realistic about it all.

tigerschick · 02/07/2007 18:00

Good point about it being your third. I had forgotten that.

derah · 02/07/2007 18:16

Tiger, I'm glad you said you had faint lines on your cheapies after your period was due, makes me feel better about my non-existant results before it's due. Stoopid cheapies, you're right that I should bin them.

Flumpie - unfortunately Lissie's good news turned bad this morning. I'm feeling so bad for her.

tigerschick · 02/07/2007 19:09

derah - I hadn't heard about lissie. What a shame for her.
It wasn't me who got faint positives, but you are still pregnant all the same

derah · 02/07/2007 19:27

Sorry Tiger, my brain is very small. I meant Sweetkitty (another cat sort of name so I wasn't too far off!!)

sweetkitty · 02/07/2007 21:29

derah - I had faint lines before my period was due, then a BFP 2 days before.

With DD2 I had 3 negatives on ebay cheapies from the day AF was due to 3 days after (!) CBD gave me a big Pregnant. You would think I would have learned wouldn't you

DontlookatmeImshy · 03/07/2007 07:21

lol Flumpy. I'll be impressed too.
I doubt I'll make it to the end of the week tbh but I'm going to try. Was soooo tempted this morning but just about managed, it's going to be a long week

scorpio1 · 03/07/2007 08:26

just checking in, cd31 today just waiting for a period......having really crampy pains, but AF not due for about 10 days.

its my free day today, until 3pm!!

Thelittlesoldiersmummy · 03/07/2007 08:38

Scorpio gosh I thought last months marathon was a one off my cycles is 31 days and I get very jealous of the girls with 26-28 day cycles so I hate to think how you feel!

Hope this month is a lucky one for you x
