2ww and the bit in between. BFP's we're waiting!

[Bucky2008]

Maybe a nice shiny new thread will get us all enthusiastic again. I am on my rubbish diet so I only have nuts and beans to put out on the table. Oh and gin of course ;o) Anyone got any cakes to tempt me with?

Ding ding....let's...go

Do you think I have gone a bit mad

.

abbeymeg - BFP! Ha, I knew you weren't really a teacher, but a Druid specialising in fertility rites
That is absolutely brilliant news! I am so, so happy for you!!!! . You will be on the Due In Dec Ante-Natal thread with hatty

Hmmm, i am clearly living in the wrong part of the country to get a BFP. You have to live north of the Watford gap on the 2WW . Mibbes, hatty, now Abbey

Jolly - OMG, it's looking good for BFP's for Northern dwellers......(I've learnt this prediction stuff from abbey and ei ) Everything crossed for you too!

I'm off to check out Bucky's pictures and also www.rightmove.com to see how much a house in Carlisle is. I'm moving. It must be the cold climates working wonders on swimmers

I have to dash tonight, but have a lovely evening celebrating abbey

and sorry for not spelling your name right abby - I am an idiot

It's fine GG am sending northern fertility magic your way! It's all in the white robes...

I'm still IN SHOCK.

Did another test, after a million cups of tea. It's still there .

Abbymeg Wow what a surprise, and how fantastic. . However, can I have a brief moment to mourn the fact that I AM GOING TO BE ON THIS THREAD ALONE SOON!!!!! .

I am genuinely really really happy for you and am sending lots of sticky baby dust your way.

Oh my God Abbey !!! That's such amazing news, congratulations!!!!!

Still laughing like a lunatic at the druid photo!!

And Jolly huge congrats for the job

And Bucky huge congrats for clever Fin passing his exams!

It's all go here today! GG you are properly from north of the Watford Gap aren't you? That must up your chances in the lucky north stakes

I want everyone to have BFP's! Thank you all so much for the congratulations, was honoured to see Mibbes and DG pop back in as well! Hope you're both doing good

Scaryhairy I'm so sorry you're feeling down. I wish I could do or say something to make it all better. Can only cross fingers that when you're ready things will happen for you again. Sending you hugs.

Went to see the doctors today, as I wanted to doublecheck about these TSH levels (it can apparently increase chance of miscarriage). He has retested and will see from there whether they need to drug me up with anything. He predicted my due date as the 20th Dec, based on a 28 day cycle..pshaw who has a 28 day cycle!?

Bucky I'm really shocked. I'm also really hoping that you get good news soon. Strangely, it was really early in my cycle - day 7 - and I cramped for two days after, that made me think something was up. I wonder if that's why I wasn't catching before - was going (heehee ) from day 8 or 9. It was only once, but it's all it takes. I'm now knicker-checking every two seconds. It's all a bit too good to be true after so long. I'm really, really hoping for you. Molly, btw, is gorgeous. I think you had a pic of Finn up on your profile in the past that I'd seen before?

Symptoms (that also could be from my operation) included itchy, sore boobs, feeling sick, and feeling tired after doing the slightest thing. But I genuinely didn't know I was pg (wouldn't have had major surgery if I'd known!) and I haven't had that strong feeling, I didn't just know. The blue line finally crossing the other one on my Boots tests was a huge shock - especially after the sixty five million I've done in the past that always said negative. The symptoms are actually less now that I've had in past months! But, a strong blue line is keeping me hoping that it will stick in there.

It has been a strange day .

hatty see, you don't get rid of me that easily! Don't knock my fertility robes. They're fabulous, and good for hiding a multitude of sins. Bad hair day? Fertility robes. Woke up feeling a bit fat? Fertility robes.

Much better than spandex pants.

Abbey, laughing like mad at the spandex pants! When is your due date?

Sorry guys, Abbey just reminded me with her post that I haven't answered the "what did i do differently" thing.

As far as symptom spotting goes I'm ashamed to say that every symptom I now know is a pregnancy one, I've also experienced in a non-pregnant cycle. I have been hungry, thirsty, tired and crampy but I always am when AF is due!

The only different things I think have been a lack of PMT compared to horrendous PMT the last few months.

I wonder if having the doctor tests and the acupuncture made me stop obsessing and helped things happen? I've been hoping my period would arrive for once the last week as i wanted to book in the day 3 blood test and get some hardcore needling done!

Who knows ultimately? Just keeping everything crossed that it all works out okay, I hate the first trimester, I am a nervous wreck!

Omigoodness!

Abbymeg I'm sooooooooooooo chuffed for you, really really happy!

Can't believe both you and Hatty got a bfp!!!!!!!

Really was grinning like a loon when I read about it for you both!

Massive congrats to Disenchanted aswell!!!

Gosh, its all go in here at the moment isn't it?!

JB the hugest congrats on getting the job - tis truely great news too

Scary I'm sorry to hear things are not so good - I really hope that the wait passes quickly for you.

Anyone heard from Ei recently?

Have no fear Bucky - I'm still here for the duration, you wont be by yourself at all ! Molly is gorgeous by the way - what does Finn think of her??

Hi to Tink, GG and Mibbes xx

flippin pee sticks!

ABBYMEG congratulations!!! what wonderful news!!! you and mr meg must be chuffed to bits.

hey GG am getting quite porky now, and properly filling out my new maternity bra (which DH is very impressed by).

a round of applause for JB well done on getting the job.

what cute doggies you have bucky and hooray for the award winning Finn!

Hi to MOB, PnM, Ei, SH (sorry you're having to wait ), GG, Hatty, mibbes and everyone else on the 2ww.

DG and Picknmix Thank you! Now the paranoia has set in.. constant fretting. Roll on 2nd trimester!

Hatty Christmas Day. Will have to put out big reminders that just because I may be giving birth, does not mean DH is allowed to leave out the presents this year!!!

morning ladies cd27 for ewcm since yest gof last nite

ABBYMEG WOW!! What lovely news to log on to. Not only have your robes brought the thread luck, they have brought you luck too!! Now you mustn't leave us yet - it's all kicked off since you reappeared!!!

hattyyellow thanks for the run down on symptoms etc It does seem as though the lack of obsessing helped (Now, how do i actually DO that?) Try to relax and enjoy your pregnancy.

Bucky Molly is gorgeous! Makes me want a dog even though we've got more than enough animals in this house. What does Finn think? Hope she had a settled night. You made me LOL thinking you were officially dead with your low temps! Mine have been so high i'm frightened i'm going to spontaneously combust Don't worry about being left alone here - i'll be here with you! (Unless i combust) Can't see me going anywhere fast, with my wacky temps (don't think my body is working at all properly)

GG i will go and get you some strepsils - you must have sore throat with all that screaming

Hello also to tink PnM JB DG Mibbes scary EI (are you ok?) and everyone else.

Bucky - don't worry, I will still be around on the 2WW (although that's probably not a comfort to you ). I think I am at about cycle 17 or something and still no sign of a BFP for me. I have given up counting

hatty - I hope hungry and thirsty are really PG symptoms, 'cause I have been eating and drinking for Britain the last few days . In fact, I got so worried as I chucked back another litre of water that I called my GP sister to see if she thought I had diabetes (the dangers of googling symptoms!). She was predictably unsymathetic and told me it's because I drank too much wine at the weekend, was dehydrated and I was one of the worried well who clogs up her surgery. Bl**dy GP's

picknmix - what's happening with you?

hello everyone else and DG and Digibean

Hello all, just thought I'd update after my question yesterday, sadly it was indeed a BFN, I've no idea why I only had a 2 day period, ho hum, it's onto next month.

Anyway huge congrats to Abby, were you actually wearing the robes on CD7? Or is it just generally more day to day wear...?

I'm hoping the GG's ponderings on being North of the Watford gap are correct since I'm oop north as well, I'll definite take a BFP next month please!

Go tink, yay for EWCM!

Morning GG

Sorry to hear that oufton You are definitely in with a chance next month though, being up north - infact - get the spare room / sofa / garden shed ready, i'm leaving Kent & moving in with you for the rest of my cycle

Oh you'd be most welcome mob, we recently moved into a bigger house hoping to fill it with babies [sob] and since they're not forthcoming we've loads of room, I'll have to start renting them out by the hour so people can dash North for some bedroom antics!! The Leeds-KX train runs very regularly!!

Morning all,

Sorry about the BFN oufton. Good idea about renting rooms out to the southern TTCers though. The extra money will come in useful when you get your BFP.

Thanks for the job congrats peeps, you are too kind .

hatty LOL at the symptoms being the same as 'symptoms' minus the PMT! You and abby are so lucky! Christmas babies

I'll go back through the thread and have a look at your chart MOB, we don't want you combusting and making a mess all over the thread! I'll have a peek at bucky's too, don't want her dying on us!!

Oooooooh symptoms GG my fingers are so crossed for you they have gone blue!

I'm afraid I chickened out of testing this morning I shuddered at the thought of a BFN and put the test away.

congrats on job jb

sorry to hear that oufton - it's luck of the Northerners round here and I am sure you will get a BFP very soon

MOB - I forgot to wave to you last time. How are things with you? I do need Strepsils actually, although probably due to a pesky cold DH donated to me before he b*ggered off, than my cyberscreaming ..anyway, must dash - LOADS of work has suddenly appeared as if by magic

abby what fabulous news - this thread is fab, every time I pop in there is another BFP, long may it coninue . Like I said to hatty come and join the Dec AN thread when you feel ready. there are loads of excited ladies over there - it is a bit hectic at the moment. IKWYM about knicker-checking, I have now been obssessivley knicker-checking for over 3 weeks now !
Bucky Molly is beautiful ! I'd love a dog too but we are never in so it wouldn't be fair.
hatty good to hear am not the only nervy one - I am in a constant state of worry due to complete lack of symptoms - have been having ms-envy on the AN thread ! I know it must be horrible but at least I'd feel properly PG if I was sick. I can honestly say I had far more symtpoms in my pre-PG cycles than I do now !
MOB I have a summerhouse in the garden that can be rented out. Fairy got BFP too and she is another Scottish lady, so the Scots have 100% record
Oufton so sorry about BFN but test again if AF doesn't show properly in a few days as I didn't get BFP until 4 days after my imp bleed finished.
JB good luck with testing tomorrow, nice high temps

Oh my goodness!!!

BFP

I could not be more surprised . I don't know why I tested as I fully expected a BFN. I did a cheapie mid morning and wasn't sure as it was a v faint line. I re-tested just now with a boots test

JollyBear Fantastic news! I totally understand the shock! CONGRATULATIONS! What were you saying about Christmas babies??

Oufton - everyday wear, of course. And I have shiny purple ones for Sunday. Its all in the fertility robes...

mibbes - I posted on there. But, I'm still all nervous and doing frantic pant checks
