NancyPreg TTC#3 Cycle 3 UCL 26-27 CD2

Good luck with all the tests Nancy. Hope it all works out ok. Having blood tests is never fun.

My poor hubby. Most men are the opposite. He should have a circumcision but think he's too scared. But he does really want another baby. Though he thinks I am totally loopy and obsessed. He probably thinks I am just after his sperm. He might be right on both counts. This TTC takes over. Though am going to join gym as maybe being obsessed with that will take my mind off things.

Nancy- Blimey thats alot of blood they took!

SK- for your BFN. Periods not here yet so all is not lost just yet!

Not really sure what is happening with me.. Thought I ovulated on Sun with ovualtion pains and the EWCM but today im back to the horrible damp feeling and CM. Any ideas anyone?

Wish there was just a switch you could press or the Dr could just inject you to get you pregnant IYKWIM

What is it with TTC? I go into this feeling fit and healthy, and 2 months in, Im an unhealthy blubbering mess. Swine flu, now Collic. Bloody amazing....

Nancy - it must blood test tuesday. I went this morning to have mine done. Im majorly scared of needles/injections etc, turn into blubbering wreck at the sight of them, never actually had a blood test, Im that bad, only its got to point where I really really need one.

Nurse couldnt get a vein in one arm, and took ages to get it raised in the other, but by time she got to it, I had thrown up with nerves and turned into ball of tears. Oh joyful....attempt 2 next week. Nurse kept saying that its worse once ur pregnant, (Urrrrrr yes thanks for that, I already know). She said she wants 3 virals, (Think I would curl up in a ball if she wanted 9). Are u sure ur doc isnt a Vampire?

Im still resisting on the Sympton spotting, but its getting harder. Got lots a cramps and thats it. Thats prob down to stress though

Ok Blue so my scientific research tells me that cramps are a sign of implantation....early pregnancy, dodgy curry eating, impending dreaded AF, and are a very common symptom amongst a certain group of mad crazy mumsnet TTC symptom spotters (of which I am one of course!)

Really helpful!

mummydemma LOL ok ruling out dodgy curry eating and impending AF (too early!) could be symptom spotting but have been busy so not thinking about it really other than vague nagging feeling! Never mind I guess we'll find out next week ish cos AF will either arrive or I'll be POAS and getting a BFP - I hope it's the BFP!!!

Well im on cd27..so af due in about 3 days..caved in and bought a FR test..have literally just done it and 2 pink lines came up straight away..Im kind of in shock..and not getting excited as I know it could turn out to be a chemical pregnancy and also Ive still got crampy pains , so will wait till the weekend and if no AF then will test with a CBD.
Sweetkitty..when I was pregnant with ds 2 I had +ve with CB but when I tested the next day with a tesco test it came up -ve so may be they are not as sensitive?..so poss you may still get a BFN

memorylapse - oh how exciting will keep everything crossed for you, what are we like unless we see PREGNANT on a CBD we do not believe it but it's looking good for you.

Am going to pee on ebay cheapie with FMU if I remember tomorrow, might as well

sweetkitty I know its daft isnt it? but that magic word seems to make it more real.

must admit that I bought the ebay cheapies and did one this morning with FMU and it was a BFN..bizarre..good luck if you do test tomorrow..will keep everything crossed for a BFP

Keeping everything crossed for you memorylapse Hope it stays BFP for you

Good luck sweetkitty thinking of you and let us know!

Fingers crossed for you Memorylapse

God this bus is busy i can't keep up!
Congratulations memorylapse Hope everything goes ok
Poor you nancy and ladylou

SK it's certainly not over for you yet - by a long chalk, so get peeing in the morning and who knows....fingers crossed in anticipation

Ladylou oh no, you poor thing that sounds pretty grim. I hope they manage to get blood quickly and easily next time...what are the tests for? I've really no idea why they had to take quite so many vials today but I don't think I have to go back, thank goodness. And don't worry about being needled during pg - you will have a LO to take your mind off things then...

tobago the eBay cheapie tests seem to work for me....!

tobago..think Im just a funny peculiar type who only gets BFP's from certain tests..I just dont think the ebay ones were quite sensitive enough to pick up my hormone levels..think there is a thread somewhere on the ebay tests but as long as they are ce marked they are as good as any others

presented DH with the test this evening, he was a bit slow on the uptake!..asked what he was supposed to be looking at!!!

Memory lapse- Ohhh how exciting! hope its still good for you

SweetKitty- Make sure you remember in the morning lady!!!

Well im def ovulating today ( not on sunday as i thought) so will be grabbing DH when hes home from playing Badminton tonight!

Yeah my tests have got the CE mark,so will have to wait and see!
How exciting memorylapse! I know what you mean though,with my 1st dd he seemed to be looking at it for ages before asking if it meant i was pregnant,and then he made me get a test done at the Chemist,it was reasuring having a professional tell us though

My experience with the ebay cheapies is they aren't that sensitive at all, with DD3 I tested 3 days before periods due and got the very faintest of lines, I mean you had to squint at it a while, the next day 2 days before AF due, very faint line no colour whatsoever just a kind of palest of yellow line, so did another test and dipped on strip in pee the other in water, no line at all in water so thought erm wait a minute, next day 1 days before period due again faint line, you would not believe how faint, next day CBD Pregnant, ebay cheapie still faintest line ever, it wasn't until 7 days after period was due that I got what I would call a decent BFP.

Hasn't stopped me buying more though don't feel particularly pregnant and anyway I am destined to have a girl, between the 14th and 20th July between 4 and 4.25am.

memorylapse - v interesting about ebay cheapie

pigley - go for it girl

Thanks for all the fingers crossed girls, of course I will report back in the morning. Isn't it plain weird that we tell a bunch of women we have never met on the net about our POAS activities yet don't tell our DH/Ps, mine just wants to see the PREGNANT too, all the non existent faint lines would confuse his mind.

Yay memorylapse - congratulations

Good luck to all those waiting to test - you're definitely not out til your period arrives, sweetkitty

Yuck re all the blood tests

Think today may be ov day for me, so another early night beckons.... I'm knackered!

sweetkitty..its also worth knowing too that my period was actually late with ds (now 8) and I did five CBD tests and each one was neg..I didnt get a pos till I was 9 days late!..so sometimes the hormone level may not be high enough..so it definitely isnt over until AF comes..keep us posted tomorrow!

Thanks remember this is my 5th time TTC I feel like an old pro can you imagine how many sticks I have peed on, I remember peeing on the CBD with DD3 and thinking hopefully this will be the last time I POAS, and here I am again!

btw, my dh also had to give blood....

Any guesses as to how many vials he had to give??

Roll up, roll up

ooo memorylapse i hope this is it for you! Good luck!

good luck loujalou can't believe your hubby doesn't like going bareback!

oooof nancy argh that's my worst nightmare I think! No wonder you needed a lie down! Hubby had to give just the ONE i bet!!!

sweetkitty i'm probably joining you. Due on tmrw if on a 31 day cycle which I presume I am seeing as I've been in proper agony the last few days

pigley i have no idea other than keep shagging!! And if that injection exists, I want it now! Getting well fed up!

ladylou

ergh, period cramps...am going to get hit with it tmrw i think. 31 day cycle so off to the June bus i think Don't wanna go to another bus! [stamping feet tantrum emoticon]

Nancy I go for two but he caused lots more fuss!

Hubby likes it just v uncomfortable for him. Men....

Congratulations Memorylapse. Great news on your BFP!!!!

Good luck with the test tomorrow Sweetkitty. Fingers crossed for you.

I have just started 2WW and am symptom spotting like crazy already . This is going to be a looong 2 weeks. Good luck to anyone else who is testing soon.

WWSW - wow, you guessed right! yep, dh had to give just one measly vial of blood and amongst other reminders, I had to listen to: 'oh, yes I bet it hurt when he was on the 9th vial, it hurt me when I had my vial taken' and 'it's quite draining for a man' and so on!!!

loujalou talking of dhs, your dh may have a similar problem to one my dh had many years back...his foreskin was too tight and was becoming sore so he saw a GP who initially prescribed some cream and said to return if it made no difference...it didn't, so dh had to have a circumscision. It's not a rare problem but if your dh could bear it, perhaps he could get some advice from his GP? Not sure this type of problem goes away by itself?). Google 'tight foreskin' and you'll find heaps of info....

bloody men!! how unfair!
