Have just brought some early ones 5 for £2.50, i dont know how accurate they are but will try one and see what it says if its positive great if not will just have to be patient and wait!

milosmum · 21/05/2005 14:03

before you all go on ebay getting the early test make sure they state 10ml on not 25ml.... the 25 ones are the standard tests but there are some seller on ebay putting them as early tests but they arent . so just check...

im due to test today but cant bring myself to do it... really dont want a BFN.....gonna leave it a few days

Bella23 · 21/05/2005 15:13

Just checking to say hello to you ladies. Have very sore head after night out last night...Rom i see you had a girlie night, how is you head?

Munz - try and stay positive, its hard sometimes i know. I so know how you feel when all you want to do is just sit down and have a cry and say "when is it going to happen" and seems so unfair! I have daily battles on that front, I try to keep the nasty little thoughts away but they can be very persistant!!

Milosmum - wow up for testing, let us know if you cave tomorrow

Hope you are all having better weather than where I am.......more rain!

sparkly · 21/05/2005 15:21

Trix, my cycles been all over since my m/c in Feb so trying not to make too much of being on what must be about CD40 now. Am sure dp was away during the "possible" relevant time anyway so not much hope. Just wish AF would show up so we can get back into action!

DP and I did decide this morning that I should test on Wednesday ... am off to the GP's Thursday so if I am pg, I have to ask for an early scan owing to m/c.

Frizbe · 21/05/2005 16:15

Hi all, hope your all having a good weekend.

Fingers X'd for you sparkly, also for milosmum, test tomorrow, go on, it maybe your month?

Trix n Tabs good luck for next week, also good luck to the rest of the thread for next week, as I seem to remember most people are testing then!

Munz, it does sound a little like you may have a few symptoms there, you never know your luck now

Bella has it stopped raining yet? its not doing it here, but its bloomin cold...brrrr....

Rom, have you a stinking hangover?

Lots of dust for all, time for some BFP's me thinks!

Hello everyone,

Hope everyone is feeling better today. This ttc is the biggest rollercoaster I have ever been on.......really hope I can get off soon

DH managed to do my first injection this morning without causing any pain to either him or me! This is the next step in the process....only another 9 to go - it is well I have a bit of padding to put the needle into . I have gained a great respect for diabetics or anyone else who has to inject themselves daily - my friend who is a diabetic has to give herself 4 injections each day....no thank you.

Really strange weather here today - beautiful sunshine and then downpours that have left the clothes on my line wetter that when I put them out!!

Going to try and do some gardening between the showers.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone.

Spacecadet · 21/05/2005 17:11

romilly · 21/05/2005 18:18

hi all - just having a peek to see if anyone tested

off to vegetate on the sofa in front of a dvd now, which is all i'm good for

wendy - well done for getting through the first injection today. another "ouch" emoticon here!

Bella23 · 21/05/2005 18:28

Rom - hope the sofa and dvd therapy works....ashamed to say i have been on the sofa myself all day but now have to go the piccies when all I really feel like doing is going to bed!

Frizbe - yes has stopped raining finally - hoorah!

Wendy - wow brave with the injections, good for you! You must feel quite excited that things are happening now.

Have a good evening....

wendy11 · 21/05/2005 19:02

Ahhh Rom - too much of a good thing me thinks Hope your head feels better soon!!

I ordered some of the wristbands from SANDS and they arrived today. They are bright yellow with the words 'Always Loved, Never Fotgotten' with tiny hand and foot prints on them. I have put one on my keys, one on DH's keys and one in Adams box.

We have a blue gingam box with all our scan pictures, pictures of Adam after he was born, cards and letters we received and some of the flowers which have been pressed from the little floral arrangement I made for his funeral. I also have a Christmas decoration in the box which I bought as a reminder that Adam was and is in our lives. I thought it was appropriate that one of the wristbands should go into this box as well as the wording on them says it all.

Sorry if this seems a bit morbid but I have found great comfort from that box and as time had gone on I have moved from looking at the pictures several times a day to maybe once or twice a week. He is so clear in my minds eye that I don't have to look as often now as at the beginning when I was afraid of forgetting what he looked like.

Hope I have not brought anybody down tonight. I feel very calm talking about him on here now although not always as calm in RL.

Bella hope you enjoy/enjoyed the flicks. What did you see?

Have a good evening everyone.

charleepeters · 21/05/2005 19:08

Evening all hope your all ok
Rom - have a good evening,nothing more comforting that the sofa when your feeling fagile! feeli better
Wendy - i think that its great that you can still remeber and love Adam but also still get on with you rlife, and he will always be loved and never forgotte, its good to keep your box of memorys to keep him alive in your hearts and minds, so good on you for being so strong, also wanna say well done for getting through your first injection.
there horrible i know i have to do them everyday when i finally fall pg like i did for my first pg.

bella - hope your feeling better did you have a nice time at the flicks??

milosmum · 21/05/2005 19:28

milosmum · 21/05/2005 19:39

charleepeters · 21/05/2005 19:42

do it when you feel ready, have you had any AF signs??? or any PG signs???

milosmum · 21/05/2005 19:47

no signs of AF- usually get cramps the day b4. i chart my temps on fertilty friend and my chart does look promising. My temps havent dropped after ov and i had 1 day (9dpo) when i shot right down and the next day it went right back up again. FF says that could be an inplantation dip... but just dont want to get my hopes up..

romilly · 21/05/2005 20:08

wendy - it was very moving to hear you talk about adam and i thought the words on the bracelets were perfect as well.

milosmum this if for you

Debbsy · 21/05/2005 20:43

hi all hope your all well feel happier today than have done in a while hungover though been shopping to get last bits for hols neww hairedo etc etc.Wendy your words brought tears to my ears you sound such a strong lady and i wish you the v best of luck with your injs and getting your beanie.Munz hunn ((((hugs)))).Charlie pleased your going to be an aunty but also understand the way you must be feeling (((hugs))).Milosmum fingers crossed this could be your mth.Hi Rom and Bella and everyone else hope your both well.Problem sorted at work thankfully so dont feel like the whole worlds against me anymore after the pain ive had this week dh has been v good,told me i dont let him in and idont let him comfort me i just get angry.Well im on cd9 and have had v slippery cm what does that mean ?? because according to fertility friend its my best fertile day and dh isnt here till late tomorrow nite !!

Debbsy · 21/05/2005 20:43

sorry wendy i meant eyes -doh im a doddo

sparkly · 21/05/2005 21:03

Wendy, it's great that you're able to share that with us - brought tears to my eyes.

Must admit, after miscarrying in February I'm actually scared to take a test even though I know I should. It's silly really and I know it. Y'all know what it's like when you want it so badly - I just don't want to be disappointed. But on the other hand if I was fortunate enough to get a BFP I'd be so worried the same was going to happen again. It's torture, it really is. But, we will hold out till Wednesday ... maybe.

charleepeters · 21/05/2005 21:22

I cant wait to here your results milosmum i wish you all the best and you to sparkly, i have got early tests winging there way to me which detect apparently 7-9 days after ov and detect 10ml but i will probably wait untill day AF is due if i can. thats 1st June sooooooooo long away 11 days of hell

wendy11 · 21/05/2005 21:58

Thanks everyone. Hope I did not upset anyone. I seem to get carried away when I get on here and sometimes things come out that I would not dream of saying in RL. Mainly because not everyone would understand in RL butI know that you all do. Don't know about being particularly strong but gradually accepting things are the way they are for a reason although I may never know what that reason is.

Milosmum - things are looking good for you. Really hope you get that result tomorrow or the next day or when ever you decide to test

Charleepeters - there will be no stopping you when you get all those pg tests - you will have that lovely disease.....testitis

Sparkly - when are you due to test? I know what you mean with your worries for any future pg's but just hope for the best and enjoy every moment of it when you finally get there

Debbsy - I would say that things are looking good on the CM front. It can be watery/slippery for a few days before ov so don't worry too much about DH not being around tonight, you could still catch the eggie tomorrow or the next day. Would you normally ov as early as CD9?

Hows the head Rom? Hope you have had a good rest today. You have to get your strength up for some BD'ing soon

Goodnight everyone. Think I will have an early night.
