Is your AF due around 6th September but you suspect you successfully conceived???

...then join in here.

One day I am certain I am pregnant with period like pains and sore boobs, the next day I am certain I'm not.

It's an agonising wait...how slow will the next seven days be!!!

Feel the same? Lets joke and cry together about the ridiculous state of mind this puts us in!!!

What a blow babyinarms. I just had a miscarriage at 3 months (3 months ago) so know how it feels for it to all go wrong.

You can look forward perhaps to a lovely romantic sensitive Cancer (conceive in Oct) or a smart cheeky Leo (Nov) . I'm all into star signs at the moment. I would love a little Leo child.

summerwhatsummer - so true, life is for the living - kick your heels up at all opportunities, as you say they dry up a little once you become an indentured slave to a gorgeous dear child.

I will keep an eye on the site, as I kicked it off and am now really wishing lots of BFP's.

I am convinced..ABSOLUTELY convinced that i am up the duff!
My boobs...jeez, cant even stand my seat belt on them!
Feeling funny in my tummy and a bit sick.

Am checking my knickers every time i go to the loo!!!!
No af so far!!!

mammajamma · 04/09/2008 18:36

babyinarms - i am so sorry to hear your news.

i was at superdrug today and caved and bought a test. i wanted to save me freebie CB digital until i was sure i was pg as i didn't want to waste it!
Anyway i promised myself that i would wait until the morning to test, but i couldn't wait. i've just done it and have got a very faint BFP!!!! I am totally shocked as i just don't feel pg. No symptoms at all. i will use my CB in the morning to be sure.
crumbs 3 under 5....am i mad!!!!!

summerwhatsummer · 04/09/2008 18:46

Mammajamma - amazing news! Hope tomorrow morning confirms it for you.

Deany - sounds vvv promising! fingers crossed for you.

Wish I had some symptoms to speak off but way too soon for me. AF not due for 8 days. Reckon I ov'd CD 16 / 17 / 18 or something, so even if I get to due date, AF may still arrive later...

keep us all posted!

lou031205 · 04/09/2008 18:47

mammajamma congratulations!

I am expecting DC#3, and will have 3 under 3½!

babyinarms · 04/09/2008 20:22

mammajamma will be keeping fingers crossed for you!

Just a quick question. Have had cystitis on and off for a week now - really hurting at the moment! Been anxious that it might affect conception. But also steered clear of doctor's because I've been there so much over the past year that its embarrassing (!) and that I'm not sure if they would be able to do anything if they knew I was ttc. i.e. - perhaps they would steer clear of antibiotics for around that area

If any of you have any thoughts on this, I'd welcome them.

mammajamma · 04/09/2008 21:11

Thanks Babyinarms - i was so sorry to hear about your mc. I posted on the sept post aswell.
bexaa thanksl, i will post as soon as i get a minute to let you know how i get on tomorrow. So exciting.

summer - fraid i don't know much about cystitis. i'm sure someone on here will know.

mammajamma · 04/09/2008 21:16

babyinarms, i'm all confused thought i was on the TTC no.3 thread. Can't be baby brain already can it??

lou031205 - wow you are some woman - 3 under 31/2. you'll have your hands full but so lovely for them to be so close in age! When are you due no 3?

babyinarms · 04/09/2008 21:28

Thank summer, daisy5, bexxa and mammajamma. I had glass of wine with dinner and thinking of going for long soak in a warm bath now.
I wasnt totally surprised because i had been spotting for so long but would so love to be pg now!
Summer i would go to the doctor, he could prescribe antibiotics that would be safe in pregnancy, just be sure to tell him there is a high chance you could be pregnant...good luck, hope you are drinking lots of cranberry juice too.

oddsock · 04/09/2008 21:53

Daisy5 - sorry for you, June is lovely month to be born in though (my birthday!!)

Babyinarms-so sorry, good luck for when you try again. Enjoy yourbubble bath x

Mammajamma!!!Fantastic - I haven't dared testyet, but no real symptoms today

Feels like going mad waiting...

mammajamma · 04/09/2008 22:00

oddsock - i only had sore boobs for one day and no other symptoms. All back to normal now.
Your symptoms are really strong so fingers crossed!
When are you going to test??

oddsock · 04/09/2008 22:05

I usually come on on Friday or Saturday - very regular!

Thought if nothing's happened by Monday will buy a test then! (We're trying to save(!) and dh gets annoyed because I buy tests if there's the faintest chance I could be - have convinced myself that I will be if don't test too early!!)

Are you testing again tomorrow?

KiwiKat · 04/09/2008 22:22

Am CD25, AF due on Sunday but am HOPING, HOPING, HOPING - I can't say it either. No symptoms, just full of hope.

fairywing · 05/09/2008 08:46

Hi everyone

Well today is CD29 for me, so if i am on a 28 day cycle AF will arrive some time today. The signs are all there, slight cramping or 'heaviness', a bit of nausea, sore nipples, spotty, bleurgh!! Course the symptom spotter in me couples all of this with the raunchy dream i had last night and thinks "perhaps" I tested on tuesday but got bfn.

mammajamma · 05/09/2008 13:16

oddsock - i tested again today with the clear blue digital and got a pregnant 1-2. so i guess it's a definite BFP

Fairywing - you may still get a BFP. All of your symtoms could also be preg symptoms.

I'll keep an eye out for both of you! Fingers crossed! X

KiwiKat · 05/09/2008 14:05

Congratulations, Mammajamma, that's wonderful news. Now send some of that babydust our way!

oddsock · 05/09/2008 16:13

Mammajamma - lucky you!! Great news.

Nothing yet, am going to the supermarket so may give in andbuy a test!!

Just thinking - how soon do you really start to spot symptoms if not obsessing over it?

Remember with my first it was 'Hmm, sure AF should have arrived by now', then realising I was 2 weeks late!

Feel now I am tryimg to justify every little twinge my poor body makes...still nothing, can't stand this!!!!

zen1980 · 05/09/2008 21:27

im out started spotting this morning thought we had it cracked this month!! Oh well just thinking the next time trying will be in the sun, hopefully will give us an extra boost!!
