im not sure blocka i could say colourless and i could say an off pink as my mind is playing tricks i think!

Blocka · 16/04/2009 10:37

Hmmm. Just checked on amazon and they are exactly the same strips as I used. I think a line is a line, but if you more expensive ones are negative, I'm not so sure. Poor you!!

My problem is that I am away for a hen weekend from tomorrow. I really feel like this could be the month, what with the spotting etc and feeling sick. I don't want to not drink if I am BFN, but worried that if I do drink and I am BFP......

Might buy a first response and test in the morning. Although I think it will still be too early....

stephiepug · 16/04/2009 10:50

yeah im like that, im supposed to be going to a party tomorow night, but :-/ not sure what to do, drink or not drink? and plus i dont want to worry my hubby as he thinks im just not pregnant if i dont drink he will think something is up or im losing the plot lol, its so hard to wait

bringonthetrumpets · 16/04/2009 10:54

congrats effie !!! you're the first one on the bus! praying for you that everything goes well!

sorry about your - blocka. god knows we've all tested early, there's still hope for you. You've only got 4 days till af is due!

laurie i don't know how you can keep it together enough to not test! i've been dreadful and have tested twice (one the day after af was due). i think she's just taking her merry ol time b/c of bf ds. so really hope she's late for you b/c of a little bean growing!

donttry hopefully this is the month for you as well!

welcome tetleytea you've been added to the list.

Higglepig · 16/04/2009 10:57

laurielou caved in this early this morning I'm afraid and got a BFN TBH I knew it was going to be neg but just wanted confirmation so I could move on. Haven't told DH but then he has no idea what my cycle is or indeed that I'm addicted to HPTs so I guess I'll just mention to him when AF arrives so that he knows. Feel so disappointed and suddenly a bit panicky about whether it's going to happen at all. Used a first response test so I'm sure it's a conclusive BFN.

blocka def sounds like you might still be in with a chance since you tested so early and are using a regular test

effie that's brilliant news - many congrats, lovely to be reminded that it can happen!

missiek · 16/04/2009 10:58

Hi everyone, hope you all had a good easter, plenty of chocolate .
Blocka fingers crossed for you
Donttry you're right - it's fab not to have to obsess all alone, we're all here doing it with you!
Effie Congrats, brilliant news
I swore i wasn't going to do any obsessing, opk tests etc this month, but now I'm moving up the list, ovulation pending...its too hard to resist!!! I should ov on CD13-14 but I'm going to start testing on Saturday just to make sure! And I'm very loved up at the moment, so BD every night, I'm wearing DH out I know it should be every other night, but I just dont want to miss the window of opportunity.
baby dust to you all x

Bettymum · 16/04/2009 11:16

Hi Effie everything crossed for you!
Well we didn't BD last night as DH went out cycling and didn't get home till dark and then he was too tired - that's normally my problem, not his .
Anyway temps still down this morning so looks like I haven't ovulated yet, so must do it TONIGHT!

EffieGadsby · 16/04/2009 11:52

Many thanks to all of you for your congratulations and kind words. I really hope there will be happy results for all of you terribly soon.

I took a second test this morning, which was positive too, but am still finding it all very difficult to get my head around. I've booked an appointment with my GP for tomorrow morning, which will make me feel settled, so I know I'm not some aberration, producing false positive results.

It would probably be sensible for me to step away from the Internet for the rest of the day now, or I'll drive myself nuts browsing all sorts of unhelpful pregnancy-related things, but I will report back here after the session with the doctor tomorrow. Gosh, what a strange 12 hours it's been.

Schlumpf · 16/04/2009 14:41

Oh my, have been feeling nauseous all day...
Then DH says, "do you really think we should go for another one...?" Ha,ha,ha!

Well, it might just be a fluke, I haven't had any other symptoms (unless you count a few days of smelling like cream cheese... is that a common sign?)and haven't taken a test yet.

ccpink · 16/04/2009 15:39

Waves a lot as bus so busy!
Blocka & Stephiepug - I'm keeping fingers crossed for you both
Schlumpf - same for you - sounds promising
Higglepig - so sorry for you. I'm sure I'll be going to the February stop with you.
Effie Congrats, amazing news
Bettymum - I've missed a few key nights now with a tired husband and last night with a crying toddler. Hope I can get some action tonight too
tetleytea - my toddler was a clomid conception and despite the gyny telling me initially it was twins there was defo just one!

Really feel like I missed ringing the bell for me to get off at January - sure I'll cheer up soon!

seanybosmummy · 16/04/2009 15:40

oh schlumpf your post made me laugh cream cheese?? lol i must admit i've never heard of that one before

Have you any idea what cd your on? I think maybe you should test just incase

good luck!!

keep your chin up cc

ccpink · 16/04/2009 15:42

sorry for double post - wanted to add a note to laurielee!!!

ccpink · 16/04/2009 15:44

thanks sean'smum - I know I am being totally irrational. I had a go at dh for never wanting to bd and when he said it had only been 3 days I felt a bit silly. 3 days seems like a lifetime though in my crazy mind!

Bettymum · 16/04/2009 15:47

lol at Schlumpf, my DH reckoned I smelled different when I was PG before. Don't know if I smelled of cream cheese though .

donttrythisathome · 16/04/2009 16:15

Schlumpf - we are the Dairy Queens.
I've mad cravings for natural yoghurt...

donttrythisathome · 16/04/2009 17:23

CC totally get where you're coming from. I was like a possessed demon last week when oving and DP ho-humming about BDing!

Now can anyone help. I am a MN addict!

Chalkpink · 16/04/2009 20:05

Just checking in to catch up. No news here - am still only cd4 - but wanted to add my congrats to Effie! The first of many bfps on this thread hopefully.
And good luck to everyone else! Don't anyone lose hope just yet.

stephiepug · 17/04/2009 06:27

oh well, i was up early and i tested, today AF is due, and got a BFN, never mind!
I would have had to get off this bus if i was my due date would of been 25th december so looking on the bright side, at least i can chill out over christmas because january is the month for me lol,
Keepin my fingers crossed for everybody else, i hope its lots of BFP!!!! x

laurielou · 17/04/2009 08:21

Morning ladies,

stephie sorry your AF arrived, but glad you're remaining positive.

I still haven't tested! I hope you're all proud of me (if thinking I'm ever so slightly bonkers).

Just calculated if I'm pg - due date would be 22 Dec. Oh, please don't make me get off the bus, I like this route. Maybe if I keep my legs crossed I'll make it to Jan 2010. Oh, but late for that . (Keeping legs crossed was the advice FIL gave to MIL when DP was making his appearance a month early. They are no longer together!)

Hark at me, don't even know if I am pg yet. Tomorrow's test day.............

laurielou · 17/04/2009 08:26

higglepig - sorry, just caught up on yesterday's thread. Sorry you got a BFN , but as you said at least you know.

Please try not to worry about it happening, I have a good feeling about the passengers on this bus.

They do say good things come to those who wait............

laurielou · 17/04/2009 08:29

stephie if I had a brain I'd be dangerous! Just realised your AF hasn't arrived yet. I'm sorry , can I blame extreme tiredness & brain not being fully functional at this hour?

ccpink · 17/04/2009 08:50

sorry for your news Stephie - maybe it's a sign you can be on the official JANUARY bus.
don't try - nice to know someone else as mad as me.
I'm feeling a bit happier as managed to get bd'ing in last night hopefully after ov! I'm majorly symptom spotting now. Yesterday felt headachey - almost migrainey - and had to go to bed at 8 as felt so tired. Still feel iffy and sickly today. Think body is just torturing me...
Have a good day.
Very proud of you Laurie - desperate to know!

stephiepug · 17/04/2009 10:18

AF just arrived, so im now officially
