Hello ladies,

Must say I'm surprised that there are no results as such yet! great willpower ladies! and simple sounding very positive for you. They say a faint positive is still a positive!! keep us posted.

Jools i think i would have caved by now so good for you! is your AF due tomorrow? if so are you likely to test then or wait until it's late on Saturday? (I have faith)

Sparky im so sorry you're weepy! It's very embarrassing getting upset in front of the doctor (been there!) but they see worse, and at least now you have an early scan so can start to relax a little. Quick question, ERCP? sorry, im assuming it's not nice/good but not sure what it is.

Jools1 · 18/09/2008 12:40

Wanabe - glad you have faith in me and Sparky - I don't have will power, just an irrational fear of a BFN and the embarrassment and soul searching that will follow as I try and work out how on earth I managed to imagine all these symptoms

According to Fertility Friend, AF is due tomorrow or Sat. I only have data on my last 3 cycles - last days were CD26, CD22 (CP) and CD29 last month. Today is CD29. However, for the last few cycles, I've always had spotting a couple of days before the main event, which is why I worry I am out every time I see some brown CM. I keep reminding myself of the symptoms I have noted, particularly hot nipples and poking sensation in tum, because surely I couldn't imagine that ?

We have work drinks tomorrow - I may test in the morning as FF recommends, or I may just not drink and not test till Sat. Going to a wedding on Sat - am driving so wouldn't be having more than a glass of wine anyway. If I tested Sat morning, I'd then go off to this wedding without DP, so I don't think I could tell him, then leave him stewing with the news for a day ...

Don't know what to do .... Sunday seems the better option, but such a long way away !

I seem to imagine spot more symptoms in the afternoon - if I do feel something significant, may rethink testing this PM.

Being confused and pathetic today !

WanabeMum · 18/09/2008 13:13

Aww Jools!! It is an aweful time, sort of in limbo, but you do have very positive symptoms so don't write yourself off just yet.
Even if you caved in, tested tonight and got a BFN you could still get a BFP on Sunday! Keep positive

I've started using my fertility monitor and was a low level today. I'm on CD10 tomorrow so hoping my fertile period won't be far away! Back on the BD-ing and GFJ now.

nelix2000 · 18/09/2008 13:18

Hello ladies! oh I was so hoping to check back for a BFP!

Nope heeby I have not joined another thread...I am here till the end! you ladies are my thread!....aww look at me all cheesy I even spelt it right!!!! lol thank for pointing that one out jools

ANd simple that sounds very very good!...oooh.....yay!

I have good news. Not a BFP but my consultant called me today (I am his patient because of pcos) and he said if I haven't conceived by christmas to call him and he will ask for me to have an appt straight away and start testing for other causes. I have to lose weight though. Good incentive to do so.

Heebychick · 18/09/2008 14:15

Hi ladies,

Very mad day at work today! but wanted to get 5 mins to check in and say hi, sooo glad no one is leaving our thread! it's lovely to be part of it and i pray we all stay now.

jools it does sound positive, if it helps i'm with you totally, i had all the symptoms before (but then had that cyst) and tested early lots with BFN's all the way. It is heartbreaking and as much as you try to be positive and block it out it is so tough, it's all you think about. I would wait until you can spend the day together and enjoy the news or comfort each other. After all if you are PG then you still will be on sunday. Also (and this is a big issue for me) on sunday there is pretty much no way you could be early so a BFN would be a definate BFN and a BFP would be clearer. The only reason we test early is impatience, and that's no reason to rush it.

yellow that is great news, how reassuring to know you will be supported all the way - now you have to prove him wrong by getting PG before Christmas!

sparky & nelix please stay with us and share your baby dust! funny reading about your smells and tastes, it's been a while since i had this but remember being very turned off mushrooms! yuk!

wannabe your BD time has come round quick, i'm only on CD5 so just finishing AF then i'll be back on it!

simple and wasibi good luck girls, keep us posted ! and simple - a line is a line - sounds very exciting!!!

Jools1 · 18/09/2008 15:53

Thanks Heeby

Weeeelllll

I ignored my own advice because I am working from home today and have done sweet FA apart from obsessing and procrastinating - dug out the Boots test I had squirreled away and tried that.

It is one of those horrible + / - tests that I've never used before - heart stopping moment when I realised I was looking for the cross in the wrong box, then what looks like might be a very very faint positive came up - one bar of the cross was visible but really thin and faint. In keeping with the spirit of the thread, I took the test apart to have a closer look and try to work out whether there is colour in the faint line, or this is just a crappy test and I am seeing the line where the second line of the cross should be...

Result - I'm no further forward and wish I'd never bothered I guess I need to get some more sensitive tests or use FMU....

Jools1 · 18/09/2008 16:38

OK, forget my last depressed message - I couldn't wait and broke out the Clearblue freebie even though I wanted to save it - hurrah for an unambiguous test

PREGNANT 1- 2 it says - clear as can be

LOL - don't apologise - I'm so excited, I've terrified the cats !!

DP always pops into our local for a couple of drinks on the way home on a Thurs - was going up to meet hm for an orange juice, but don't want to tell him in the pub.

Thank goodness for MN - I HAD to tell someone !

Thanks for updating the list Nelix It doesn't seem quite real yet. If the bean sticks, I'll be a first time mum at 39 !!

Good luck to all the other testers out there - who is next ?

wasabipeanut · 19/09/2008 09:45

I've said my congrats to Jools on the over 35 thread but here it is again!! Congrats!!!!

The witch arrived for me yesterday which I was kind of expecting so not to worry. DH and I are looking forward to several week of fun BDing!

simpletwistoffate · 19/09/2008 17:17

JOOLS!!!!!!! Delighted for you - have a really happy pregnancy, and loads of joy ahead.

Am afraid I won't be joining you just yet, but hopefully next month.

AF arrived with a vengence today, so the faint line was instead a phamtom line...a phantom of my imagination Was very upset for a while, but when I got my beautiful dd up out of bed this morning and got a lovely cuddle from her, I felt a million times better. Whatever happens in the future, I know I'm sooooo soooooo lucky to have her.

nelix and sparky, wishing you very healthy happy months ahead too - hopefully joining ye soon.

Anyway, looking forward to loads of fun trying this month, and a nice glass of wine tonight! I've adjusted the list to note by new af due date! take care.

Sparky BFP!!!!
Nelix BFP!!!!
Jools1 BFP!!!!

yellow flowers, hope the weekend brings you good news...

yellowflowers · 19/09/2008 17:51

thanks - me too!

Jools1 · 20/09/2008 08:30

Morning all

YellowFlowers - I hope AF hasn't arrived

Simpletwistoffate and Wasabi - sorry AF got you, but enjoy wine, cheese and runny eggs - in fact all the things I now have a craving for !!!!

I'm off to a wedding this afternoon, so have wimped out of the gym this morning, worried that I may end up too tired, and am spending the morning cleaning. Am giving a friend a lift and meeting her 7 week old baby

She is a TTC success story - has PCOS and has never ever used contraception in her life because she was told she would never conceive !!!

SparkyMalarky · 20/09/2008 19:46

where are we all?

Jools1 · 21/09/2008 17:03

Sure is quiet in here

Hope everyone is out enjoying the sun !

I've come down with a stinking horrible head cold and am bemoaning the fact I can't take drugs to make myself feel better ! Am so tired, I can barely keep my eyes open and I nearly threw up all over the fish counter in Morrisons earlier - a place to be avoided whilst I've still got this bloodhound sense of smell I think !

YellowFlowers - been thinking of you and hoping AF has stayed away
