Hello all - I am new, my friend Cosybear showed me the site.

I have be trying for three months and am waiting to test. My sister tried for 2.5 years so not sure if it will be quicker for me if at all. Sister is 8 months with a boy on the way - all going well. I am 36 not as old as cosybear! Will be in the States on holiday when I am due to test. Can test at the beginning of my holiday so at least I can indulge in lots of margaritas!! Opps here comes my dh hope he hasn't drunk too much at his night out.

Tania2 · 15/10/2004 23:32

Jeddah you may have tested too early wait and see you may still have a chance to be pg.
Hope your DH follows through with his promise its a real hard thing to give up the fags. i havent smoked since i had found out that i was pg with ds it made me really sick b4 i had found out i was pg then when i found out no more fags and decided to never touch them again. feel so much better for it and very proud of myself.
Nice car!!!

jeddah · 16/10/2004 08:17

tania2 great to here from you......so you think I still have a chance?????? I thought if you tested too early....it would still show a poss line only very faint?

I will leave it for another 4 or 5 days then!

Crazylegs....welcome, I am a new comer also
I am 41 in Nov!!!!!!!! first ttc
cd30 ov22 so I am 8dpo, just tested bfn! this is our 10th month! (but I was on the pill for 20 yrs so I will give my self at least 1 yr-18months)Its great to chat!

MommyD · 16/10/2004 08:22

jeddah - i would say 7dpo is WAY too early to get a positive!!! I would definitely say that all is not lost this cycle

Hulababy · 16/10/2004 08:37

Jeddah - don't give up yet. I agree that 7DPO is a bit early. Normally it suggests 14DPO I think.

CD11 here. So the fun bit begins now for a while

jeddah · 16/10/2004 10:27

mommyd and hulababy.......thanks for your thoughts!

14dpo will be on fri! we go to barcelona on wed so if I dont see af I will take a test with me!
its so strange I just feel that it is very unlikely!

anyway thanks again.....
lipstick mum......how many dpo did you test? (i bet you are still in shock!

Tania2 · 16/10/2004 11:09

Good luck Jeddah fingers crossed that af doesnt arrive and you get that BFP.
8 days till my af is due dont feel anything really. Nipples are a bit sore to touch though. trouble is that i cant remember what it felt like to be pg at the begining cause i didnt find out i was pg with ds until i was 7 weeks. all i remember is that i was really tired and felt sick and that my stomach was really itchy but cant remember if that was b4 af was due or after??? hope this all makes sence. have been getting pain in my right ovary since CD9 what do you think that could be i thought i was ov but surely i wouldn't still be getting it. Its like a throbing pain has anyone had this b4????

Tania2 · 16/10/2004 11:11

Sorry Crazylegs how rude of me.......welcome to the ttc club lovely bunch of girls we have here i would like to think that it is the nicest thread to be on. good luck and hope you get that BFP.

jeddah · 16/10/2004 11:47

tania2,
I got pain in my left side on cd23 it lasted for about 15 mins, it was 3 am and I woke dh for bd!!

you say yours is from cd9 and still continues.....maybe not ovulation pain? maybe something else...... are you uaually fit and well with no history of gynae probs?.......?

Tania2 · 16/10/2004 12:20

Jeddah,
I have endo and have had cysts in the past that have ruptured but it doesnt feel anything like that. Its not really painful. just there. I know that my right ovary does ov as the month that i had a scan from my gyno that ovary had just ovulated. I also have been getting really bad wind IYKWIM.

crazylegs · 16/10/2004 12:23

Tania2 and Jeddah - Thanks for the welcome.
Jeddah hope you have a good holiday regardless of the result just think about all that Sangria if you are BFN. Agree 14dpo is the norm for a standard test depending on your cycle - can use an early (first response) slightly earlier than 14dpo - I think.

Good Luck

mariella · 16/10/2004 12:51

Is this the longest thread ever on Mumsnet? Hi everyone. I'm happy to say AF came today, bang on schedule, and 2 days after my mirena was removed. So the rollercoaster starts here, it is very exciting to think we will be starting to ttc #4 in just a week or so! I still can't believe I'm going for a fourth, sometimes I think I'm mad but I'm sure it will all be worth it in the end (when he/she is about 5 lol). Anyway I've told my dh that we have six months to concieve otherwise I'm giving up, because I can't cope with babies and nappies for ever. So it is up to fate really which I feel happy with. good luck to everyone and jeddah, you could easily still be pg you know you tested much too soon, don't start on the red bull and vodka yet lol

jeddah · 16/10/2004 16:33

Mariella and crazylegs.....thats deffinate then, I will test again in another 5-6 days and we will see, written meself off......but I lknow in future not to test until 14dpo!

Tania2......sounds like bowel trouble honey!

mariella,......god you are experienced......throw abit of baby dust my way will you and a bit for crazylegs (us new ones need a bit of a kick start!!

jeddah · 16/10/2004 16:38

lipstickmum how many dpo did you test....just out of interest!

MommyD · 16/10/2004 17:12

jeddah - for interest I got a BFP with ds2 on 10 or 11 dpo (can't remember which!) With ds1, got +ve at 14dpo.

MommyD · 16/10/2004 17:15

... oh and not to be toooooo positive Tania - but I had throbbing pain on and off on my LHS between ovulation and when I found out I pg with ds2. Apparently it COULD have been something to do with the corpus luteum cyst pumping out progesterone!!??? I have a friend who is 7 weeks pg now and she had the same until 5 wks. She was worried that it might be ectopic.... it wasn't. So it COULD also be that....?

MINNIE1 · 16/10/2004 23:45

Hi you guys,
Hello to all the newbies xxxxx baby dust to you..

Tested AGAIN this morning (Why do i do it) BFN.. Feeling slugish all day craping pains and feeling sick and i'm tired and cranky!!!! Sorry just having one of those days..
Defo not PG this month roll on AF !!!!!!
Hope you all are having a good weekend..

Tania2 · 17/10/2004 00:41

Thanks MommyD i kinda thought that it still might be a possibility. Fingers crossed 7 days till af due.

MommyD · 17/10/2004 07:05

I have changed my mind about feeling pg this month. AF not due until Weds/Thurs and last night I had the most dreadful AF pains. They were so bad that I felt sick with them. It is too early for them as I only normally get them a day before AF - I think she will show up early?
I bought a First Response Test yesterday and was going to do it first thing this morning. Decided against it as I am pretty certain that I am not pg. I will do the test next sat IF AF hasn't arrived. Otherwise if I start doing tests this early and it's only our first month of trying (and I didn't expect to fall pg anyway).... then it could all get v v expensive. I'd forgotten how expensive those little wee sticks are!!! Happy Sunday all!

Tania2 · 17/10/2004 07:49

G'day girls just wondering if you have read the thread about the lost mothers it is very sad. well they have started a petition which i have signed and i told them that i would past the msg on to you guys and ask if you would sign it.

Tania2 · 17/10/2004 07:51
