[Bucky2008]

OK, so how about we start of on a positive....

I bought the test.

I did the test.

BFP .

Job done.

MOB in hope you dont mind too much but i have emailed bucky to let her in on the excellent news
xx ei xx

MrH sends his congratulations too, MOB.

Just when I was starting to think this thread was cursed you pulled off a seriously good result. Huzzah!

Now the rest of us need to get our BFPs so we can start that ex-wimblewai(n)f antenatal thread.

Quiet on here tonight. Is everyone ok?

No change here - still having cramps but spotting has stopped. My left boob is sore but that seems to happpen when it is cold in general!

mrsH im around as usual
symptoms sound good lol
xx ei xx

I'm also around!

MOB still so happy for you - such great news!! MrCaitni also sends his congrats .

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you MrsH - a Crimbo BFP from you would be fab!

My feet are back on the ground - did a test and BFN. Which is what I expected testing at 11dpo in the evening . Still no spotting though am thinking there's a risk I ovulated a day later than I thought, which would possibly make me 10dpo. Still, am telling myself I'm glad there's no spotting . Though am also fervently hoping I just tested too early .

PnM good luck tomorrow - here's hoping it shows your tubes are nice and clear

I'm here too!!!

Just going to have a good catch up then will be back in a sec

WOOOOHOOOO MOB

Sooooo pleased all went well at the scan and even more pleased to hear that TWO little chicklet hearts were seen

Ei, no worries about being left behind, I'll still be here with you - my looooooong cycles mean that I'll still be waiting for my egg 'til way after Christmas

Loving the symptoms MrsH, although was a bit concerned to read about your erratic bleeding, hope you mention this to the consultant. Fab that DD enjoyed her FC trip! Am for you Ei that he gave your DD lipgloss

Caitni - great that your appt went so well. Fab that she seems so proactive about setting the ball rolling for you. Am sorry to hear about the bfn, but really, it doesn't count and big slapped wrists for testing at night, at only a possible 10dpo.

Can't believe we'e all such a creative lot what with your sewing/knitting MrsH and your tapestry Mob - I know where to come for some advice now

My appt is at 9 tomorrow so at least it will be done and out the way quickly. Good advice re painkillers MrsH, will take a few nurofen before I go. Will be rattling as am well into my anti-biotic concoction now (4 of one type, 2 of another per day) plus various vitamins and sinus tabs to get rid of a cold I've picked up. Have had SIL and her 3 children over and invariably seem to have inherited their snot

I have the funniest feeling that SIL is about to announce baby number 4 in the not too distant future. Have had this feeling 3 times before, and yep, she has 3 children so I'm hoping I was 3 times lucky as not sure I could perform the necessary niceties and smiling required this time

Will let you know just how pathetic I am and how high my pain threshold tomorrow xx

thanks for the little wrist slapping PnM - I deserve it . The good thing about it was it brought me back down to earth so feeling a lot calmer (). Good luck tomorrow xx.

Lots of luck for your HSG today PnM. I am hoping it will flush a wee something out out your tubes and then you will promptly get pg with two dolly mixtures! Just try to stay as relaxed as you can and if need be take some deep abdominal breaths when they are messing around with your foof. It'll be fine, I am sure.

Caitni I second the wrist-slapping (although I deserve a slap too...). No matter how you look at it 'tis very good that your LP might be a little longer, no?

Ei I hope all is well. Are you somewhere around 8 dpo too?

MOB is the reality of two little babies hitting home?! Hey, at least it wasn't four! There seems to have been a number of multiples coming out of the AC thread lately. The two embryo thing is clearly a good thing.

I am still spotting here and feeling sick and not really sure what to make of it all. I did poas, which is terribly clever as I am 8dpo! I can't help thinking that my cycle is v screwed up and this is more likely to be something defective than implantation. I am seeing the quack tomorrow and so will mention this. It's grim, spotting all the time...

I hope you're ok.

Also hope you're OK PnM - was the HSG ok?

Sorry to hear you're still spotting MrsH - most frustrating. It makes every trip to the loo stressful...but I'm glad you're seeing the doc tomorrow, as they should (hopefully!) be able to give good advice about it.

Well I'm now spotting so bloody AF is going to show up tomorrow right on cue . Am feeling quite fecked off with the whole ttc malarkey today. Sick of the whole emotional rollercoaster of hopes rising/hopes dashed - I've decided I can't face all this over Christmas/New Year so I'm going to avoid temping/clearblue monitor and just try to relax and enjoy Christmas [half hearted smile emoticon].

MOB hope the happy news has sunk in . I must say it's been great being able to tell my DH about your progress, as it makes him think that IVF/ICSI is ruddy marvellous! He told me last night that he'd secretly love twins

Waves to Ei (any symptoms young lady ) and JB and Abby (not long now til you meet your babies ). And hope our cyber babies are all doing well in time for their first Christmas

Hurray MOB, two chicks in the nest! I'm so pleased for you. How very exciting, I've never been a cyber Auntie to twins before!

caitni Damn and blast your AF, I was feeling so hopeful when I read your symptoms. I hope you do manage to relax over Christmas (easier said than done I know) and you get a new year BFP.

MrsH This spotting sounds a bit odd. COuld it be related to the procedure you had recently?

ei How are things with you? Any symptoms? I love your festive name .

PnM Hope the investigations went OK today and you enjoyed a restful afternoon on the sofa. From what you have said about her before your SIL sounds quite sensitive to your TTC so she would understand if you found it a difficult situation.

I don't know if GG ever lurks but if you do, hello and I hope things are going well for you and Mr GG.

The countdown to the arrival of the jollycub is certainly on now, only 4 more sleeps .

Just popping in (whilst also doing important work things ) to see how you are PnM and how it all went?? Lots of love and hugs to you. XX

I'm busy tonight, but will be back to speak to you all properly tomorrow!!

Evening all,

Caitni my little south coast love, sorry to hear you think af is on its way and that you sound so incredibly about it all. Sending you very many higs. I've stopped temping this last few months as well as things were getting a little very obsessive for me. I really hope you're wrong about the spotting but if af arrives 2moro, with your very short cycles does that mean you might hav the possibility of a Christmas conceived baby?

I hope the dr can shed some light on the spotting tomorrow MrsH. Sounds very odd, especially as it hasn't happened before. As JB said, do you think it might have something to do with the hsg?

Lovely to 'see' you JB, can't believe its all so close for you (and Abby) now

How are you doing Ei ?

Have you got used to the idea of 2 little chicklets yet Mob ?

Thank you for all your kind wishes, the hsg wasn't really painful at all, no worse than a bad smear test so much worrying about nothing! Am bit crampy now though so dosing up on nurofen. One tube played ball and 'spilled' (technical term , their's not mine!) beautifully but the other one was inconclusive. Interestingly its the side I never get any ov pains on so I wonder if its just a duff tube?? Anyway, will have to wait for the radiologist to look at the pictures properly but wont get my results until 24th March so am going to try and get a cancellation appt - failing that we'll pay the £ and have a private consultation. Don't really want to be waiting for 4 months for a diagnosis as am playing it down at the moment but wont be long before I start googling and worrying myself!!

Hello lovely ladies

First, enormous (((((higs))))) for Caitni and GRRRR to periods and boring old ttc. I'm sorry to see you feeling so blue and I hope you feel better soon.

A gold star to PnM for being very brave! I am glad your HSG was ok. If you had come back and said it was terribly painful I would have been both bothered that I had (accidentally) told you a lie and concerned that my cervix is giant and too capacious! Do not fret about the funny tube. As numerous medical people have told me "you only need one working tube". And it could be that your other tube was just having a spasm. Wait and see, but at least things are progressing.

Jollybear I am very excited at the prospect of being a cyber-auntie again. You're having a section, yes? Lots of luck for that, I hope it goes smoothly and you have a quick recovery.

How are you MOB? Any more genuine pregnancy symptoms (as opposed to my imaginary ones) to share with us?

Ei do you have any symptoms either? Have you had any more psychic ei dreams?

I am still cramping although the spotting has stopped. No idea what that is about. I keep googling "implantation spotting" for which I need a serious slap. From what I have seen it is just as likely to be a dodgy LP. When I had my DD I certainly did not spot although I had wicked cramps about 5 days before my period was due, so that is the same...

I may not be with you all much longer because tonight I ate bacon which was use by 1 December. Do you think I am going to die? Have I eaten the bacon of death? [hysterical emoticon].

Well, at least if I feel sick I can call it bacon poisoning instead of a symptom!

And LOL at the prospect of the GP being able to say anything useful about this spotting. When I had ectopic number 2 she decided to tap my tummy and when I didn't have any pain she said "it's very unlikely to be an ectopic". And I said "wow. That's amazingly inaccurate" and left. So tomorrow I can show her my scars!

Chin up ladies. It's nearly christmas.

Morning ladies

PnM so glad to hear the HSG wasn't too painful! Loving the "technical" language for a patent tube too though at how long til your official appointment! Really hope you get a cancellation but if not I think a private app is a good idea - I'd be out of my mind waiting that long!!

MrsH since it's the same GP who assured you it wasn't an EP, I'm guessing her response will be "don't worry, it's normal" or some other such medical gobbledegook . Perhaps it is your body settling down post-HSG? Though I'll continue to hope that it actually means you'll get a Christmas BFP

JollyBear only three sleeps now!! So exciting for you and sending you lots of good vibes

Ei hope you're doing well?

MOB hope the carol concert was fun? Have your DCs been in any christmas plays/concerts?

And thanks for your higs ladies - much appreciated! Last night, I ended up doing what any sensible frustrated ttc-er should do and went (completely unplanned) to the work christmas party. I've been saying for weeks that I wasn't going to go, but the spotting just tipped me into the "what the hell? I won't be able to just go out with my work buddies unplanned when we finally do get a baby" mode. I didn't go utterly mad (couple of glasses of wine and a couple of rum punches - postively restrained by my standards at last year's do ) but really enjoyed it. Even if I did look a holy show compared to all the glam ladies there (hadn't even put lippy on before going!!). We've got our departmental lunch today too - at a pizza place so looking forward to a nice carb-tastic lunch!!

The spotting is really annoying though - sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not - though, in an attempt to be positive, I think perhaps it is my luteal phase lengthening (or improving, as I think of it) as last month I also didn't start AF until quite late on 13dpo (but no so late that it didn't start on 13 dpo iykwim).

Anyway, I'm glad to have such a wonderful thread (and MN in general) to come and vent on (even with my Christmas resolution to relax about it all )

Quiet on here tonight - hope you're all having great Fridays

So spotting has stopped & no sign of AF yet...13 dpo so officially late now...trying not to think about it (and failing fblush]) but haven't POAS as am convinced it'll be a BFN...I'll try with FMU tomorrow if AF is still a no-show...

hi ladies
iv not been around much for a few days just lurking as life has gotten in the way
caitni oooooooh!! test test test!! good luck!!
PnM i cant remember if i said it or what but im glad the hsg went well and you have at least one tube a spillething over
mrsH hope you are doing well
MOB how are the duet getting on?
hi to all others lurking or otherwise
sooooooo.....
i have symptoms...
i had some spotting today...that has only ever happened on 2 occasions...both of which i was preg...one resulted in an 8lb 12oz baby girl...
my (.)(.) feel really big and heavy and are very achey at the sides
i have lots of CM...
i am soooo tired it is unbelievable...
i have woken up with headaches and stuffy blocked nose feeling for the past 2-3 days and my headache refuses to go all day
and thats the ones that have been present without me making much of a fuss over them
soooo.... whaddya all think
xx ei xx

Ei it sounds very promising - how many dpo are you now? If I were you I'd be testing but maybe wait a couple of days after the spotting, so the hormone levels rise enough. Will be keeping my fingers firmly crossed for you xxxx

So another BFN for me this morning, but still no AF and temp was higher than the last two days. Looks like I'm turning into one of those "my AF has vanished but I keep getting negatives" ladies who start threads sometimes...I really thought that CD11 was when I ov'ed as by CD12 I had all my post-ov signs (TMI alert: temp a bit up, absolutely no EWCM, cervix dropping...) but am thinking perhaps it was later, which would explain the BFN (since I am 14 dpo now and officially one day late so should surely be getting a positive result). Blardy annoying!

OMG, how exciting!

*Caitni did you test yet?

Ei those symptoms sound very promising.

I was getting a bit excited about my spotting/cramping (a bit stupid given that I now know for sure that I am defective) but I don't have any other symptoms really. When I had my DD my first symptom was tiredness and I am not knackered atm so I think I cannot be pg. Although this morning I felt queasy until I had breakfast and I have sort of tingly nips. How I wish I could stop over-analysing and getting my hopes up...

Right, must go tame the 2 year old.

X posted, Caitni.
Maybe you are just one of thos people who gets positives later sometimes. Fingers crossed.

morning ladies
caitni still sounding positive for you i have no idea what dpo i am but i have had no ewcm since last week so im guessing at 6/7 dpo but who knows eh!!
mrsH you are allowed to get excited over your symptoms and you consultant said it isnt impossible to get preg with whatever it is causing the prob in your womb. good luck
hi to everyone else
xx ei xx

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you both MrsH and Ei!!

Not feeling hopeful for myself - it's just too strange and have no symptoms other than lack of AF, even boobs aren't sore anymore!

So looks like AF's here - we're heading up to London for the afternoon/evening so at least it means I can drink guilt-free...will be rooting for Ei and MrsH from the sidelines though!!

Ah, Caitni, I'm sorry your period showed up. . But at least you can have a few crinks over christmas before getting your BFP to kick off 2009!

Well I take back what I said about not being tired as this afternoon I have suddenly started feeling knackered. I even fell asleep on the sofa . Something's up; I just hope it is a correctly-situated bean and not some kind of winter bug!

When are you going to test, Ei?

More to the point, when are you going to test MrsH ?!

Caitni, very sorry to hear af has arrived. I really hope you have a lovely time in London and this weekend to take your mind off it all. Big higs xx

Your symptoms are sounding rather hopeful Ei, fingers crossed for you !

I'm in Manchester this weekend, having a bit of a girly weekend. Annoyingly my antibiotics for the hsg are making me feel very queasy so am going to have to stop taking them and then contact the gp on Monday to get some different ones.

Hope you're having a good weekend all xx
