Thanks for suggesting that I start this thread - its a real honour. Won't be leaving it yet as am only on cd24, despite getting bfps from the 3 tests I have done today (paranoid or what?!).
Lots and lots of babydust to everyone. If this pg is successful, I will have conceived in the midst of an awful cold so that should give everyone some hope. Lots and lots of hugs.....

Oh, excited now. Thank you. Can you let me know how much P&P was so I can put cheque in post.

Sallie · 07/01/2005 09:19

Loads of luck Jeddah!
Sparkly - I echo what everyone else has said about your test - its probably way too early. I don't know why I got such an early result. Didn't get the same with my previous pregnancies. So best leave it until at least the day af is due or maybe later. As I said, the predictor tests I used were definite BFNs, no faint dots or anything. But the Boots digital and FR were definite BFPs which shows you how things vary. Part of me still doesn't quite believe it - probably because of the BFNs. AF would normally arrive today so will be nervous all day!!!
Best of luck to all ttc this month or going through various treatments. Really do hope that 2005 brings us all lots of success in the ttc department. Hoping that there will be a few more joining me on the sept 2005 thread soon.

runtus · 07/01/2005 10:02

Munzie, I had the same thing when I first started taking the Agnus Cactus stuff, it did eventually go away but maybe cut down on the number you are taking a day.....

MINNIE1 · 07/01/2005 10:31

cockenzie, Sending you ((((hugs))))

Fastasleep · 07/01/2005 12:25

Aww Hester you're so sweet, I can't wait to have nice clothes but knowing me I'll be on here when I'm 35 because I'll be broody again!

GOOD LUCK JEDS!!!! Your dh sounds like mine - adorable!! Mine's out buying me pink tests as we speak lol... Good luck to Sparkly too, you know it can take weeks after your period was due to show up on a test sometimes! (I'm testing on Saturday, because I think my dh is a good luck charm and I need him standing outside the loo!)

Cockenzie, try not to get too frustrated - everyone always says that breastfeeding is the natural contraception, it's up to you and your baby when to stop it and I bet you'll get cm a plenty when you do! Just think that you've done your baby so much good breastfeeding this long

Looks excited well I'm off to Asda to buy cheap clothes! Yay!

MINNIE1 · 07/01/2005 12:33

cockenzie....cheer up honey good luck with the persona searching when you get it, it will make things so much easier for you to know what your body is doing!

bonkerz · 07/01/2005 13:21

HULABABY, please accept them as a gift from me to you!

munnzieb · 07/01/2005 13:24

jeds- U have more controll than I! apparently mars/ Jupiter are in line at the mo which is good for baby m,aking (or so I believe) so the planets r in ur favour!

Cockenzie - (((((hugs))))) try not to put too much pressure on ur body hon. I find the more you do that the less it will work for you, iycwim. I know it's easy for me to say (and remind me of this nexst month when i'm dyin to test) but if u relax things will happen of ytheir own accord.

(got to get back now, will post again on monday - god I miss broad band! ) good uck to weekend testers.

cockenzie · 07/01/2005 14:02

thanks minnie for the link and thanks everyon e.the thing though with ebay there is always a higher bidder then you and if you are limited with the price you cant carry on and have to let go.

i think if this month i dont get pg, i am going to ease up a bit before i drive myself completely mad again.

RudyDudy · 07/01/2005 14:29

no time to read everything or for a proper post but just wanted to say I'm thinking about you Jedds...my DS is just waking from his nap so will grab a handful of babydust from him to send your way

hester · 07/01/2005 17:48

cockenzie my love, if you haven't had any fertile cm AND your temperature hasn't risen, then I think it's pretty certain you haven't ovulated - yet. I can't remember where you are in your cycle, but is it possible you're just ovulating late this month? Otherwise, it may well be an anovulatory cycle. Most women have the odd month when they don't ovulate at all - it happens, and doesn't mean anything as a one-off. But I do wonder about the bf and if that is suppressing your ovulation. I know some women do get pg while bf, but others don't. I'm really sorry to say this and I hope it doesn't make you angry, but I wonder if you need to take a longer term view and accept that it may not happen for a while, maybe not till after you've stopped bf? Which would make it marvellous if it did happen, but maybe you'd be putting yourself under less stress... What is jedd's advice on this? The other thing you could do is to ask the GP for blood tests to check if you are ovulating (can't remember if you have done this already?). I do really feel for you: it's horrible not knowing what's going on in your body. xxxx

hester · 07/01/2005 17:49

Sallie, can I have some babydust too? Please please please! Me and jedd are sworn to graduate together, you see....
