July/August baby threads, where are you now? Wishing, Sunnydale, Homeinthesun, Headfairy, Bubble, etc..

[Issy42]

Please don't be offended if you're not named, you're still welcome, I just have a rubbish memory. I can see a couple of you on November thread but there's a whole load of people not there. Just wondering if you wanted a little thread to keep in touch?

Headfairy - just replied to you on grapefruit thread. So sorry about your sad news. Was hoping a new thread might provide you with support from old friends.

And Sunnydale, I know you're wary of new threads, so though you might also like the company of old friends.

Wishing and Bubble having your weird long cycles and missing whole month's threads, thought this might be one for you too.

So what do you say? I'll start a list just in case:

Issy, ttc#1, cycle 14, ucl 28ish, cd 23/10dpo, mc Mar08, cp Sep08, IVF in April.

OMG congrats wishing so happy for you

i am nearly giving in to the tests calling me from my bathromm cabinet aarrghh!! this is soo frustrating!!

wow wishing CONGRATS!!!! That is just fantastic news, especially after the rollercoaster you've been through. Will keep everything crossed for your pregnancy- may it be a long, happy & healthy one!! Well done petal!! xxx

ps. If you buy one of those clearblue digital tests they will tell you when you conceived (1-2 wks, 2-3 wks etc.) which might help you work out how far on you are- sounds like your HcG levels must be pretty high though if the result showed clearly straightaway so I'm guessing you're 6wks already! yey!!

Pps. I too get strong cramps for first 8-9 weeks of pregnancy, hard not to worry when they're pretty painful, but 'tis all good!

thank you ladies, i hope its a sticky healthy one to this time jumpingjelly fish!

i did ov late head fairy, im thinking about going to get one of those clear blue digital ones!

i can think straight xxxxxxxxx

o wow Wishing im soooo pleased. thats brilliant news.. sending sticky thoughts your way

i hope this is the first of many

When I was pg with ds I tested at about 20dpo and I got a mega strong line the second the pee hit the stick, however far along you are it's a good sign when that happens, lots of lovely hCG surging through your....erm... pee

If I was you.... I'd be tempted to hop along to the nearest EPU in a couple of weeks and get a dating scan (or get your gp to set one up for you) Not only do you get to see your bean a bit earlier, but you'll be sure of your dates then. If you're unsure of your dates it's totally justifiable in my book to have an early scan.

and ive had 3 pints of water today! my pee was weak!! I had some wine yesterday too!!

i think i must be about 6 weeks, im so glad cos thats half way to 12 weeks like you say head fairy, im still worried about this cramps and brown spotting though! dont want to become obssessive xxxx

Don't worry about the wine, it won't do any harm whatsoever...

And the cramps and spotting... well the calm sane rational person in me would say don't worry about it. You're 11dpo, it could well be implantation bleeding, and cramps are totally normal in early pregnancy. Scared the living daylights out of me last time, but it's just the hormones getting your uterus ready for a growing baby. Of course the hormonal, weepy irrational person inside of me would be bricking it too. So I totally understand how nerve wracking it is for you. Either way, there's nothing you can do, frustrating as it is. The strong bfp is a good sign, just focus on that and enjoy being pg

Yehay congratulations Wishing thats fab!! I am not an expert, but I am sure everything is fine! sticky thoughts coming over!

yayeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i turn my back for one second and we get our first BFP!!!

congrats wishing i think that this is going to bode well for others

ahhh

I agree with HF - get yourself an early scan.

Thank you so much ladies, im chilled now and its starting to sink in! i think? thank you so so much for all the kind thoughts and reassurance i will try not worry! God 9 months seems ages away!!

i have as good feeling we going to see the bfps rolling in! im sticking around here if thats ok its where i feel at home xxxxx

please do stay and keep us posted as to how you're getting on. very happy for you! x

Yeah, stick around and send us some of those pregnancy vibes please

im sending you hundreds, im not leaving till we all get our bfp!!

thanks for all your lovely wishes xxxxxxx

Cheers wishing, I promise I'll take care of them!

Congratulations Wishing - sending you lots of positive thoughts for a very sticky bean .

Sorry AF got you Bubble and Girl. Good luck with the GP Girl. Bubble - my cycles changed after mc from ~34 days to ~26 and have slowly crept back up to 27/28 - it's quite common apparently.

JJF - I don't think you need to worry about not knowing your cycle when you conceived dcs as it has probably changed now anyway. Re cycle madness when tired - the only time I didn't ovulate in my monitored cycles was when my boss was being a total b*tch and made my life hell and I'm sure that was why. Luckily we had consecutive holidays so didn't see each other the next month. Good luck for Thursday. BTW my parents live near Stranraer but I've only done the 6-hour drive from East Midlands to them once - must be a long journey to the south east.

Sif - I'm awarding your DH the 'DH of the month' award for clearing his diary for you. The club I go to once a month is very close to ex's house, hence walk of shame falls on me . Particularly this time as his flatmate (also a friend of mine) was visiting her gran near me and gave me a lift. Cue awkward talking about anything except the night before moments in the car.

HF - was going to put in a link for you but can't remember it and daren't check at work (and suggest you don't either). Think it's this or this. I stumble across these things looking for goth clothes, honest guv . Might counteract the volvo-inducing middle ageness. You'll either get the right site or something about people who really like the produce of bees, lol.

Have updated our list with Wishing's BFP.

oooh naughty issy with those links

Did I miss something, do we have another bfp? I didn't realise suzibohy had got a bfp.

HI all

Congrats Wishing x

Af arrived bang on time today...CD34. Another agonizing 5 weeks of constant bd before i can put myself through hell again. Every cycle that ends in af just seems to make me sadder for the two I got and lost. i don;t know why but it just does.

So in a bid to try and somehow regain control I have spent £100 online today on a clearblue monitor, 20 sticks, pregnacare conception, 1000mg EPO tabs and 100mg VitB6 tabs.

Lets just hope that the ridiculous amount I have just put on my credit card somehow means sods law I'll only get one month to use it....

Arrrggghhhh. I HATE TTC.

Sorry - is this the thread we're supposed to forget about TTC?

Just read the post back - not uplifting for anyone. Sorry ladies - disappear for a month then come back whinging. x

Aw Ilove... don't worry, this is totally the place to whinge about ttc and what a load of crap it is... The whole avoiding talking about it rubbish is just a wheeze really, and of course actually we're all obssessing as much as anyone else. You know what, the amount you've spent on ttc equipment, I bet you only get to use it one month. 'Tis sod's law. I'm planning on spending an obscene amount of money on a frock for my friend's wedding in May with the full belief I'll be pg by then and won't be able to wear it due to huge pg boobs! The amount I'm prepared to spend on this is a reflection of my desperation... I was looking at £500+ frocks this lunchtime

(((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))) hope you feel better soon.

am i pregnant and no one has told me, just kidding... no headfairy i never got a bfp, but im almost on the verge of testing.. not due until thursday and im trying to hold out until saturday before testing

Phew, I thought I was going senile (though obviously not phew that you're not pg) Good luck with the sitting on the hands and not testing

Sorry for confusing everyone Suzi - let's hope it's a premonition. The list is just in the order that people joined the thread. Hasn't been organised into BFPs at the bottom. Good luck for testing when you cave .

How is everyone today?

its been really quiet. ive missed you.

ilove feel free to rant here. we all feel sad at some point and the others do a great job of cheering me up

suzi did u cave in? have u tested?

xxx

Congrats to Wishing - fab to hear about your bfp.

I'm not going to leave a long post. I do check in here from time to time but try not to come to Conception too much.

Having a pretty "glass half empty" time at the mo with regards to ttc. It's now a year since our mc. And about cycle 15 since we began trying for DC2. It's hard to stay upbeat. Especially when I'm hearing about an average of 1-2 babies at the minute. It's just my age and stage I guess.

Anyway, won't whine on. Am trying to stay upbeat but my goodness, it's hard.

Reading this back, I sound like a right barrel of laughs. I'm not that bad but only if I don't think about ttc. When I do, I get pretty upset. I hope you all know what I mean. I'm sure some of you do.

Hope you're all good - and that your pgs are going well wishing and gateau
