half i hope your ds is feeling better... i dont have any advice coz im a sahm and if my boys have a bad night i can normally get to recoop a lil bit during the day.

congrats to all the BFPs. im so pleased they have started rolling in

do any of you know the rules re pg testing... clear blue tests say disregard after 10 mins and any changes after 10 mins should be ignored. why is this... i thought you couldnt get a positive reading if the hcg hormone wasnt present??? any advice gratefully recieved. thanks xxx

bubblebell1 thanks. Don't know about your clear blue question either sorry. Try website?

Am now trying to distract DS with lego while I attempt to get dressed. I think I will just try to keep a low profile at work and drink lots of tea etc to keep me awake.

HalfMumHalfBiscuit · 27/01/2009 08:25

Right we've got it together and we are off to work/nursery...will be a bit late but should be ok. Have a good day.

DevilsAdvocaat · 27/01/2009 08:29

half mum, coffee and chocolate seems like a good idea to me.

my bfp also feels surreal. bit of an anti climax with dh but i think it will just take him some time to get used to it i guess.

feel sick and tired and have lower back pain, which i also had when pg with ds. however, can't help but keep my fingers (and legs) crossed.

good luck to everyone testing soon

Cazza28 · 27/01/2009 08:34

Morning all AF seems to be staying away, just today and tomorrow (to be certain) to get through then I will be extra excited!! Yeah!

Congratulations Ruby and Devilsa I to am cautious, you think you would be extra excited when you see the BFP but you kind of don't believe its happening - wonder if this ever changes.

Good luck to all those who are testing soon lets hope for a lot more BFP's!

bubble maybe they say that because of evab lines? not to sure really.

girlwithacurl · 27/01/2009 09:29

I am now symptom spotting on my cat. Some friends said their cat changed towards them when they were pg, some wouldn't go near them and some got really protective, guess it depends on the temprament of the cat. So I keep cuddling her in the hope she will give me a sign. think i might be going a bit nuts! 5 days until AF is due...

eeyore2 · 27/01/2009 09:32

Hi everyone! Congrats on the BFPs Ruby, Cazza and Devils. I have updated the list as I'm now back to CD2. At least the arrival of AF meant I could enjoy a really fun, rather boozy evening last night. Halfmum good luck with your sleepy day at work, hang in there!

congrats those with BFPs, hope it all goes well for you.

AF finally arrived, a few days late, yesterday, hadn't tested but had been secretly getting my hopes up only to have them dashed again , find it harder with every month that goes by...

girlwithacurl · 27/01/2009 12:18

Sorry that AF got you dancingq i know just how you feel, you just have to keep believing though, it will happen for you, it just hasn't been the right time yet. Good luck for next month!

WizzyWoo · 27/01/2009 16:13

Hello everyone, sorry I haven't been around for a while but I'm so pleased to see the graduates list growing! Congratulations to all with BFP's and sorry to all those who the witch caught up with.

Off work today as hideous cold just isn't going. Babysat for DH's nearly 3yo niece and 10wko nephew. Really struggled with DD, as she was v jealous of baby getting attention. It was such hard work that I said I didn't want to have another baby after all and I'm really feeling superstitious that I might have just jinxed myself. On the way home, I decided that it would be different with DD if she has the time to come to terms with a new addition and do still want #2 but what if....

DH was soooo broody with his nephew. He's now really into TTC idea but I definitely Ov'd early last week, so it's a bit late to get excited about it for this month. Got the impression he wasn't that interested earlier but if AF catches me, at least I know that he'll be more interested next time.

Good luck to all who are testing in the next few days, I'll be keeping everything crossed for you.

ForcesSweetheart · 27/01/2009 17:56

Thanks for the welcomes folks.
DevilsAdvocaat and cazza and Ruby congratulations!!
Glad you got your AF at last eeyore good luck with trying this cycle.

Are any of you being treated by GP for a short LP? I'm seeing mine on Friday as mine went from a short enough 9/10 days previously to 8 days this cycle (in which I took b6 every day!). JUst wondering what I should be expecting to happen/what info I should go armed with?

theboob · 27/01/2009 18:37

congratulations on BFP's
sorry to all the witch caught,i keep lurking checking on you all ,hope your all well,x

Ralphie0956 · 27/01/2009 20:02

Congrates to all on BFP's (the list is thanfully ever growing)

Need to a ask a question that may seem silly but here goes.

I ov'd early to mid week last week and since Friday have been feeling very light cramps constantly in tummy area but also twinges in left hand side.

I'm frightening myself as I had a ectopic that same side last year! I'm going out of my mind with worry to the point that I've even tried to tell myself I imagining the whole thing!

Got a Preg test that is suppose to pick up HGC levels on 10ml and over, but not at the mo it's neg, not sure if it's way to early.

Anyway I must stop rambling and ask if anyone has ever felt syptoms like this so early?

RubyBuckleberry · 27/01/2009 20:02

hi everyone! i am going to stick around just to be sure and to watch that BFP list growing.

sorry to all with AF but enjoy the boozy nights and the coffee too!!!

RubyBuckleberry · 27/01/2009 20:05

I felt odd pains in the area after when I thought I ovulated - didn't do any ov stick thingys... I also have mild cramping now which i have read is oxygenated blood being pumped into the uterus. I rather like that positive idea so am breathing deeply and sending more oxygen down there even though am convinced the witch is going to come back to bite me!!

lovelylullaby · 27/01/2009 20:17

That's interesting Ralphie, I'm kinda thinking things are afoot here too as yesterday and today, i've been feeling teeny tiny twinges in my reproductive area. I'm sure this weekend was my 72 hours to conceive, but surely i wouldn't feel things happening so soon?

Sorry to hear you are worrying so, how long before you can take a test that should pick up on HGC levels?

thecatisdecorating · 27/01/2009 20:29

Oh congrats all the pg ladies! Good luck for the next few months!

Ralphie0956 · 27/01/2009 20:36

Lovelylullaby I have been informed that it can take anywhere from 7 to 12 days for an egg to implant in the uterus and only then does the body start to give out HGC.

However, last time it happened I was 2 days overdue and only got a very very faint post line on a preg test, so it really depends on firstly whether I am actually pregers and if so where the eggs ended up?

My doctor has suggested I go in to see him tomorrow for a blood test but still think it's too early!

HomeintheSun · 27/01/2009 20:47

Hi ladies, just came by to say thank you for the company over the few weeks but I'm off to the November thread. I have up dated the list. I hope you all get bfp's because you're all lovely.

irishmumwannabe · 27/01/2009 20:53

Hi Everyone

Well I am on the 2ww after the in-laws visit last weekend. There was no bd on the airbed because the cats must hae punctured it so we bd'd Thursday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. I'm hoping that's enough. We might keep it up for another fe days just in case.

SOrry if I've missed anyone's news - hope you are all keeping well -

Good luck everyone
