Hello all

I'm sorry I posted then ran last time - my af turned up that night and it all got a bit too much for me. Bit the same as some of you, I'm now a serial lurker as just can't muster the enthusiasm to post and don't want to bring the thread down with my rantings.

I do keep an eye on you all from a distance though.

GG although the sperm tests didn't come out brilliantly I think your DH should be applauded for such a rapid response in organising a Dr appt. He obviously needs to do this in his own way but at least he's not done an ostrich (is it an ostrich or an emu!?) and stuck his head in the sand. Pleased to hear you being upbeat about it. Retreat and let him sort it for the time being, think he sounds like a good man and is acting exactly how my DH prob would (bit brusk about it all but thats just a front).

Bucky sorry to hear Finn Dog was ill (I did a mad 'mother' act last night with my house rabbit - sat up til 1.30 watching him cos he was poorly!), hope he's much better now?? Just read about your 5.30am finish on Sat ? you party animal!!!!! Hope you?re doing ok at the mo.

Pinkgirl hi and good luck for tomorrow

Hatty how are you doing??

Mibbes sorry to hear of af arrival, at least she was right on time so no hanging around and waiting. Am so impressed (and a little !!) with your GP ? so proactive, must be lovely to actually talk to someone who was encouraging and took notice of your charting etc.

TF sorry to hear you?re feeling abit fed up as well ? I know the feeling! Hope the pain in your tummy has stopped and it was just a big perfect follicle ripening up ready for the egg!

JB I think you have your scan today don?t you? Hope it goes well, will be thinking of you x

CoolKat - is it official yet?? Can a shout a huge congrats or just a little whispered one??

MOB any sign of af yet?

MTW such good news about the scan, very excited for you!!

Toosoon Hi there!

Scully that?s fantastic news for you!!! Big Huge Congrats

Apologies to anyone missed!!!

I don?t even have any idea what cd I?m on and I refuse to work it out ? I haven?t touched an opk and the thermometer has been kicked under the bed. My friend told me that she is 7 weeks pregnant (2nd dc) and it was a ?mistake? with her boyfriend who she?s been seeing for, yep, you?ve guessed it, 8 weeks. How does she do it?? Why is it so easy for some?!

Anyway, promised I wouldn?t rant so will do another ?stealth? post and return to my lurking position!!!

xx

PicknMix · 28/02/2008 11:21

Ok, so I'm back again and within 30 secs but only to say EI how could I forget about you in my mammoth post!?!!!

Sorry to hear your sis is being a bit of a pain - not sure I'd be best pleased about that kind of behaviour either!!! Deffo time to have words methinks.

Hope your back is ok now? Don't overdo it xx

MrsPuddleduck · 28/02/2008 11:32

Hi all, speaking of being a serial lurker, I am always reading thread and feel a bit like a peeping tom!

I am ttc no 3. Think I missed the slot this month due to various illnesses/football going into extra time etc but you never know!

pinkgirl30 · 28/02/2008 11:40

hi pnm and wm cd 33 and no af.
swapped my faulty clear blue test for a new one so will test tom lunch.

artichokes · 28/02/2008 12:05

Hi There

I haven't posted on this thread before because I was trying not to obsess. But clearly I am obsessing so I am giving in and would love you girls to give me your opinions.

I usually have a 10 day lutueal phase. On Sat 17 Feb I got ov pains, on Sun 18th I got a positive OPK. We BD'd both days. Presuming I ovulated on the Sunday I am now 11 days DPO. I usually only make it to 10 days DPO so AF is one day late. I tested this morning. BFN. Not a trace of a line.

I have cramps that make me think AF is on its way. But usually these last a couple of hours and then I start bleeding. I have had them for days. This happened when I was pg first time.

Soooooo. What do you think? Am I clutching at straws or might I still be pregnant despite the BFN?? The pos says the tests are meant to be 99% effective once AF is due, but given my AF usually appears 10 days after ovualtion do you think I might have to wait longer for a BFP?

Its unlikely isn't it ?

MrsPuddleduck · 28/02/2008 12:43

Hi Pinkgirl - I have been lurking and waiting for you to do your test. Good luck (hope you manage to wait until Saturday!)

pinkgirl30 · 28/02/2008 15:16

will be testing tomorrow lunchtime wm

MummyAnnabella · 28/02/2008 15:20

well done scully! i too have got BFP today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
am due 1st nov according to preg calculator - what about you??

did cheapie test last night and thought pos but didnt say anything until i retest this am with CB digital and there is that lovely word on screen with a space where "not" used to be!!

havent told dh yet was going to wait to mothers day and do it in a clever way but dont think i will be able to wait!!

anyone any clever ideas for telling him?? it is our 2nd.

MrsPuddleduck · 28/02/2008 15:24

Sorry Pinkgirl - I think I got behind with the posts.

I am sending you lots of good luck - I really hope you get a BFP.

MummyAnnabella - congratulations - how exciting! I wouldn't be able to wait until Sunday if it was me. I hope someone comes up with a clever idea. How about hiding the somewhere you know he is going to look eg his glasses case so he'll be really shocked when he opens it or ask him to go and get you something when he comes home and have it hidden where he can see it (does that make sense?).

pinkgirl30 · 28/02/2008 15:25

will be testing tomorrow lunchtime wm
will let you know thanks for support

I am a bit early as dp and i are starting to try next week, so as to be alchohol free for 2 weeks, but i have honestly been waking in the early hours of the morning grinning like a loon i am so excited at the thought
Finished AF last thrusday, so hopefully good timing.

Hi Ladies

Congrats on BFP'S Scully and Ma. Looks like it could be lucky!

Welcome newbies.

Pick N Mix its good to here from you, I understand a few on here are Lurking I can understand why as this thread is so friendly there are many new people. Lurkings fine as long as you let us know your ok every now and again!!

Well got blood tests - Wish I hadn't. They were to begin with inconclusive I explained that I had done tests previously and had BFN and got faint BFP ob Mon but retested tues and got dark BFP. She then says you do not get false positives so would be pregnant, However the HCG levels are low so either dates are wrong or its not viable. Only time would tell, she would not refer me to EPU and there was no need to do bloods next week, I said not even to put mind at rest but no. So she wants to see me for 'chat' next week? Doesn't sound to hopeful does it?! So what will be will be.

Sorry to ramble but been with many of you guys a while now and feel like i know you so want to share

Good luck Pink, Ei I hope you and your sister are better. X

EiWishFor3MoreWishes · 28/02/2008 20:46

thanx CK for thinkin of my when you are so worried yourself i havent got any pearls of wisdom for you i just wanted you to know i am thinkin of you and crossing everythin for you xx

Thanks Ei, to be honest if this goes wrong I give up, whilst I do not want DD to be only child this is so emotionally draining and me and DH do not handle it well IYSWIM.

Hoping you get your BFP. x

EiWishFor3MoreWishes · 28/02/2008 21:29

coolkat if it is any help (or hope) to you my mum was told she wasnt preg for ages when preg with my brother. all the blood tests said her HCG level was too low to be a viable preg and she was insistant she was preg so at 14 weeks they scanned her and found a perfectly healthy 13+5 baby and he is now 21 i dont want to raise your hopes unduelly but all i am tryin to say is dont give up and dont lose hope you will be ok and we will all be here for you xx
