**********March 2010 Bus*********** TTC for March 2010, Join me....

[Rtuff]

Hi everyone,

The March bus is now departing, Everyone welcome....

Rtuff: TTC#2 Cycle 13 UCL 30 CD 2

Hi all,

Yes, you're right, it's not over till AF makes an appearance. Bit of a waiting game really - DP is convinced the test was faulty!

Looby I had and still have stabbing pain in left breast but I am clearly insane and have a phantom pregnancy! Was worried I would be upset but am feeling surprisingly positive - perhaps I had to go through this to get over my fear of peeing on a stick lol

Glad no-one in real life knows we're TTC, would feel like a proper numpty!

did you try another stick teeny could have been broke?

Its strange your AF has not started, stress can hold it back

I have friends who know were ttc, but they think were absolutely mental.

Hi girls, just checking in to see how teenycalls was doing. Feel really sad the test came back negative. V v odd, with all those symptons - but can't be certain til AF gets you. Maybe you ovulate really late in your cycle so need to wait a few more days. Why not test again on Mon/Tues?

I'm due at the hospital on Mon to have a progesterone test - that'll tell me if I ovulated at all (I haven't managed to ovulate since DS which is over 20 months - hence the need for fertility drugs). Then it's another week waiting before I can think about testing. Wow it's a LOOOONG wait....I've NO symptons (except obviously the aching elbow) - when should symptons start???

Hi nanoo, have promised DP i'll do another test in the week if AF doesn't show - either way i'm out for the day tomorrow so glad she's not here yet! I will probably leave it until Wednesday though, does anyone have any advice on the best early HPTs? I used a Superdrug own brand one this morning.

I still feel like I have symptoms, left boob is particularly sore, I don't feel like eating anything strong tasting and usually love curries, humous etc. Also stood on the scales this morning and have randomly lost 3lbs so not a sign of pre AF water retention...Feel like a freak with my phantom pg! I would understand it if I were talking myself into it or really desperate for it to be this month but it's only month 3 and I am happy for it to happen when it happens - as I see it DP and I have been together 10 years so another few months won't make any difference!

Anyone else due to test soon or have any interesting symptoms (apart from the sore elbow which is a given!)

He folks,

Just when i thought things could not get any worse health wise...i now have got conjunctivitis from my wee boy. So i now have conjunt and tonsilitis. I look like a pirate, my eye is so bloody sore and red and my throats kills! I feel like crap and look like crap too My husband just laughed at me this morning. He is working all weekend so im on my own with my two kids. Not an easy job to the point im really wondering if i could cope with being pregnant again and having another baby. I cant test until next weekend but feel so guilty for feeling like this, i will be so happy if im pregnant and love the baby as much as my other two i just wonder if i will struggle with it. Sorry for my depressing thoughts!

symptom wise i have on and off sore boobs, ocassionally stabby pains bt just a hightened fuzzy sense in them. I feel sick a bit but could be the antibiotics and im emotional, prob because i look a bit like a car crash with my gammy eye! feeling sorry for myself

Lou x

Oh, Looby, sorry to hear things are so crap, it does seem like an awful lot all at once. Hope you're surviving the weekend OK.

I can't test til next weekend either, and I think my supposed symptoms seem to be disappearing. Oh, well, I've got a full-on week at work next week, and won't see my ds for 4 days , so that'll keep my mind off pseudo-symptoms!

I'll see you here next weekend for the testing then...

Chin up looby, being poorly is rubbish but it's a bit of a waiting game too, you'll start feeling better soon i'm sure

Well ladies, my phantom pg is over thank goodness, wasn't enjoying being the resident loon Think i'm going to give this bus lark a miss next month, all this counting down and symptom spotting is a bit much for me (she says, until the 2ww next month!). I'll hang around and check in on this bus while it's still got fuel though

Good luck for testing next weekend ladies, i'll keep my fingers crossed for your BFPs!

Evening Ladies!

Well today is day 19 for me - so I am 7/8 past OV! (TMI ALERT) After going to the toilet a few times today, I have noticed a brownish discharge!

Hmmm ... could this be a gd sign? Or is my body playing trickes on me?

Oh Lou - poor you. It sounds miserable. But thank goodness you didn't get all this around ov, or you'd never have been able to BD!

Teeny, really sad to get your message - so AF got you?? That's unbelievable after all your symptons. Are you feeling OK about it?

Have a good week ApuskiDuskty - see you here next weekend for testing. Hopefully! Think Lou will be with us too.

New Member, I have no idea what implantation bleeding looks like - my sis got it for her last pregnancy, it lasted 1 day, so she thought it was just a short AF. Didn't know she was pg for weeks!

Hi nanoo

Time will tell I guess - its going to be a very long week

Hi ladies, may I join you? (I'm on the April bus too - just hedging my bets )

I am TTC#1 Cycle 1 UCL 35 CD 28 - so I am due to test next weekend as well, hopefully!

The waiting is unbearable....

Thanks

Hi nanoo, yes, AF is well and truly on her way - expected time of arrival approximately 5am tomorrow! I actually feel really relieved that the weirdest week of my life is over, I might actually be able to sleep tonight (nothing to do with the brandy & coke - only to wash the folic acid down mind)! Don't think i'll test in the future until day 40 tho.

This TTC lark is weird, when I thought I was pg reality kicked in and I realised just how much things will change and how absolutely clueless I am about having a baby! After nearly 11 years together and no DC, DP and I have a very nice lifestyle and our only real responsibility is our lovely dog. Don't get me wrong, we still want want a child and see it as a new, difficult, rewarding and joyous phase in our life but there is another part of me that thinks getting another puppy would be a better idea! Is that really wrong? Guess what i'm saying is that if it doesn't happen just yet i'm happy to carry on enjoying things as they are...

What was everyone elses experience of finding out they were pg for the first time? Did anyone else have these conflicting feelings?

teeny these feelings are normal.I have said to my husband that if im not preg this month im gonna wait 6 months before trying again. The reason being is that i have two little little boys already and my hip is completely knackered. my pelvis split a bit at the front during my last two pregs and i have a twisted pelvis which caused me a lot of pain when walking. Your feelings are normal. You love your dog right? well heres a wee story for you....one month ago we got a puppy, i thought she would be like a 3rd baby to me (not in a psychotic way, wasnt gonna dress her up and push her in a pram!) we got her and she was cute but there was no love there, nothing at all. She attacked my kids and scared them, then we decided enough was enough and we sent her back to the breeders because she was hurting my babies, my real babies. I have always loved animals (I will get to the point soon i promise...)and before having kids I loved then as I thought you would love a child, but the truth is the love you have for a child is a million times greater. As my story goes to show, you love your own flesh and blood and you would never let anything harm them. I can only tell you that I never had my life first or my career first as I had my first when I was 24 and I do not regret it. I love them more than anything on this planet. No-one knows how to look after a baby completely until the baby teaches you how to be its mum. It has its ups and downs but the first smile you get or the first time they say"Mummy, Wuv You!" your heart melts. I could not imagine a world without them they make my day and make this sometimes hard world a happy shiny place to live in.

ANyway enough of my silly little anecdotes, if its in your heart dont give up, please, its worth every ounce of worry and effort. Hope that helps x

Thanks Looby - just the reassurance that I needed

God, im so emotional today. Yesterday too i kept bursting into tears. My wee boy came over to me and gave me a cuddle and said "Mummy, whats wrong?", "you sad mummy?"

I just feel exasperated, hormonal, tired, frustrated and pissed off all at the same time. Mood swings galore, my husband is getting it right now! poor him. I wonder if i am indeed pregnant? I have not felt any implantation pain this time so far, had just a light background not even really there cramping sensation. Fuzzy boobs too. Nothing I can really put my finger one exactly. My period is due week tues but i can test at weekend as i ovulated i think last weekend. Ordered some 6 day early first response tests that will be here tomorrow off Ebay. Anyone used those ones early?

Love to all, Lx

Hi girls, just checking in today to see how you're doing. Teeny calls, that's v lovely to hear that you are enjoying life as it is. In fact, in my humble experience, that is the best situation in which to conceive....if you can avoid thinking too hard about it (counting days, doing ov tests etc..) and just be natural it will prob happen eventually.

But personally I wouldn't intentionally give up TTC, as it might take time (it's taken me YEARS just to get to this point) - and if there are any fertility issues it's so much better to know sooner rather than later. I started TTC in 2000, had my first MC in 2001, DS eventually born in 2007, and here I am again trying to get him a sibling.... Obviously nothing like your experience, I guess I'm just saying don't leave it too late x

Teenycalls - Dh and I had been married 9 years (together 14) when we first started ttc. We were very comfortable just us and the guineapigs

My first reaction on getting a BFP was 'oh s*, what have we done!'. It was a major life change when ds1 arrived but for us it was definately for the better. A few years later we are going for no.3!

Oh yeah, and what looby said as well. Said much better than i could've

You ladies are lovely, thanks so much for your support Nice to know we're 'normal' afterall!

Just checking in to check out, I think af arrived and went, it was a weird one, but I think I am now moving off this bus to the next one, hope everyone else gets a bfp rather than another bus ticket.

Gave in and tested - BFN Still a bit early but doubt it this month!

Oh no New Member - really sorry to hear. But isn't it a bit early?? When did you ov?

Yea I think I have tested early - day 12/13 I think! Today is day 20 so I know I am early - just going insane not knowing! My cycle has changed the past few months, going between 24-28 days! Feeling cramoy just now tho, so is this month going to be even shorter!
