dh and I are having a last push at ttc. we are giving it either a year or another mc before we give up (haven't told gp ) so i have decided to reopen the anti-testing thread!

Thanks Joycey heading of to work in a bit. Lissie i look forward to checking mn tonight when i get home from work! Hope you get the BFP you want! xx

nunnie · 24/03/2009 13:28

Loved my beer thanks, liked it so much am having another tonight

I will keep my fingers crossed for you Lissie, incase you decide to test. I stopped smoking when I found out I was pregnant with #1, think that is what made it easy, but I didn't use anything to make it easier, just kept telling myself its not just me now! if I started to crave I called myself a selfish bitch then spent the rest of the day hating myself for insulting myself, took my mind of the fags though

Joycey29 · 24/03/2009 17:04

Hey Lissie - are you ok??

OracleInaCoracle · 24/03/2009 17:11

yep, not testing today. still spotting so wil test tomorrow instead.

im such a bottler!

Can understand your reasoning. Keep in touch!

shirleyc · 25/03/2009 07:33

Good morning all!
Hope your all feeling good today.

lissie you do the test sweet when you feel ready ignore me hanging on for your results
i'm here most days anyway!

Nunnie - hope you had a beer for me last night yummy was it ice cold from the fridge. Out of interest do you drink from the can or pour into a glass?? Thanks for your comments about quiting smoking if i had a bfp it would make giving up a doddle, but i cant wait for that to happen, so todays Day 1!

Joycey How you today? Any symptoms today or still nothing.....?

pistachio Heya hows you today?

Joycey29 · 25/03/2009 08:58

Morning all - hpe you don't mind me hanging out here - I just want to see how you guys go - you were a great support for me!
Lissie - How you feeling?
Nunnie - A second drink - we are all jealous!
Shirley - Day 1 - go for it girl!
Beginning to tink I imagined my BFP - no symptons that stand out like last week.....

shirleyc · 25/03/2009 09:01

Joycey morning you hang out here all you like me dearie! I shall sit with my puffer stick nattering away. No sign of af yet........ Today is day 28

Joycey29 · 25/03/2009 09:07

Looking good Shirley! I hope the puffer stick works - can't be a bigger incentive tha waiting for that bfp - when are you testing!

shirleyc · 25/03/2009 09:11

I dont know when to test. Had always planned on the 28th but now im thinking leave it later. Grr i dont know. Funny now af is due (in theory as exact cycle length isnt known) im kind of just waiting to see what happens.

Still having symptoms, asked dh to look at my bb's this morning he said they look normal still! To me they felt heavier.

oh and tmi all month ive had no cm which is rare in itself, although i had taken a course of antibiotics for bv, so that might be why, this morning i have some cm so maybe it means af is on way?
All this pregnancy malarky consumes soo much time

Joycey29 · 25/03/2009 09:19

Tell me about it! tmi I had little CM til this last week so don't know.......
I would stick with the 28th - then it could give you more incentive on the smoking front just when you need it!

shirleyc · 25/03/2009 09:22

mg joycey why the fek did i bother with posting in relationships!! I posted on there to rant yesterday just to have a rant, and now its like im with some crazy obsessed nutter! Wish i'd never posted in the first place and grr this is not what i want on my first day of non smoking!!!!

as for the 28th yes i think i will see how things are then. Sorry to get mad above just grrrr, of to make a coffee now and breath............

Joycey29 · 25/03/2009 09:27

Breathe Shirley! Breathe!
Gaven't seen your rant so I'm a clear ear!

shirleyc · 25/03/2009 09:32

lol ty Joycey! Im clearly not great at explaining things in writing and i just have a feeling that some woman think any and every man is evil and some kind of abuser.
When someone doesnt know someone how they can even insinuate this stuff. I will never post on relationships again.

shirleyc · 25/03/2009 09:32

and to top it of im feeling very very sick! urgh. Im sure its the puffer

Joycey29 · 25/03/2009 09:34

I would leave asking advice to people you vaguely know - rather than the masses! I think you're right there is a lot of jealousy about for people who have solid relationships but have minor blips! I got negative feedback once and also decided it wasn't a good option!

Joycey29 · 25/03/2009 09:34

Feeling sick migt be another sympton.....
Does the puffer help the craving??

shirleyc · 25/03/2009 09:38

at least im not the only one, well at least i've learnt never to do it again lol.

Puffer helps the craving yes definately as for symptom spotting and the sickness im sure you can understand im at that point where i want a bfp so much that i dont wanna think about symptoms incase i get af and then ill be upset. Yet i dont wanna test and see a BFN which i hope it af does come i dont get upset.
But DH did say i have had 'symptoms' this month so......

Joycey29 · 25/03/2009 09:40

It's such a horrible time! I hate it! I know somany people who have a love hate relationship with the test!! I understand your reluctance - it was like Lissie yesteday - while you're waiting you an keep hoping.
Sending you lots of positive vibes!

shirleyc · 25/03/2009 09:43

yep good point. Baffling isnt it the whole process. DH reminded me last night if drunk pple can do it at the back of a pub on a one night stand then we should be able to do it bless his heart.

You have any nice plans for the day?

Joycey29 · 25/03/2009 09:48

Taking DS swimming then off to Granny's for a dog walk!
Here's to the good weather!

shirleyc · 25/03/2009 09:49

ooh sounds like good fun! i hope you have a lovely time

Joycey29 · 25/03/2009 09:54

Have a good smoke-free day!

PistachioLemon · 25/03/2009 10:09

Morning Ladies!

How goes it Shirley? I haven't bought my puffer yet but no cigs yet either today.

But the big news is that I managed to take my temperature and remember it AND we managed to ignore the brother-in-law in the next room. Yay! So there's hope for this month. Just neeed to ignore him on a more regular basis now!

I can definitely understand you holding out for the test for a while, sometimes it's easier not to know either way and just wait for AF to show up. I find that I excuse the BFN anyway until AF arrives and then its a double disapointment!

Lissie - let us know how you get on and sorry if I pressured you to test yesterday, I was thinking about it last night and I thought that it probably wasn't very fair. Hope you're ok and that you're happy with whatever result you get.

Notintheknow - how did your appt with the doc go yesterday? Did he/she say anything useful? I told mine last summer that we were thinking of ttc (well in truth I was, DH didn't come round to the idea until this year!) and she just said 'OK', wrote something on her computer and that was it! Hopefully yours was more helpful.

Hi to everyone else - nunnie, joycey and everyone!

shirleyc · 25/03/2009 10:50

Morning! well done on not having had a smoke as yet!
