hi to newbies

congratulations to queen and ididit polly are you testing tomorrow? I'm not, I have no money and no test in the house. Let me know how you get on.....or hold off till thurs?

tea your restraint is admirable. We are being very good this month aren't we. Main reason I'm not testing is cos I know I'm not preg, just feeling same aches and pains as every other month this bloody year.

My friend who started trying 4 months after me, had her baby yesterday. Beautiful baby girl after 2 sons, and that was the completion of the family. Immensely pleased for her but too.

Hello Lia. I'm so glad you said that - I have a pack of FR burning their way through a drawer but I am too scared to test tomorrow! We are going to my parents for a family get-together and I just don't think I could face my 20wk pregnant little sister if I get a BFN. Of course I am over the moon for her but it is heartbreaking for me. I know what you mean - all the mums I met when I had DD started ttc for no2 after us, and all have babies now... 18 months later and I'm still suffering from empty womb syndrome, it is so upsetting. So then testing buddy... shall we wait it out until Thurs?

Well in terms of symptoms - I still have none of the usual pre-AF ones which is strange. I do have slightly tender nips and am crying at the drop of a hat. Day 24 and I'd expect mahoosive tender norks by now, as they usually get sore for the week leading up to AF. Either I'm up the duff or my body is messing with me and I'm going to have an usually long cycle this month. I'd love to get excited but I've had far too many months where I've convinced myself I'm pg and been wrong. Garr..... the waiting is so damn hard!

So who is testing next then laydeez?

Doh, meant UNusually long cycle!

Hey ladies...

very tempted to test tomorrow... but I'm sure nothing will come of it... what do you think ladies, should I hold on a few days... precting that AF should arrive on Thursday but since I've only just come off the pill who knows I really admire you ladies, I'm already stuggling and it's only the first month, why oh why would I do this to myself!!

liahgen... I feel your pain, must be so hard for you, but happy at the same time for your friend I'm sure it will all work out for you soon just hang on in there x

Best of luck to all you lovely ladies!!

Hey MrsZaC if you really can't hold off, then test tomorrow! And make sure you let us know! But if you can, I'd wait, as you will be so much more likely to get an accurate result later on. I'm due on Thurs and I will be trying to hold out til then. Go on, you can do it! Join me and Lia for POAS fest on Thursday!

polly Thursday it is then. Your not really there symptoms sound fairly promising though.

MrsZ You are due same day as myself and polly, see if you can hold off, unless of course you are sure it'll be a nice bfp that we can all smile at.

I was ok this cycle cos I knew last month we didn't have enough sex, simple as that really. I came to this month, fairly fresh and optomistic.This month, we've tried and I just know it hasn't worked again. It's been 15 months once we're into December and I know it's gonna hit hard this time.

WE'll see what the tests reveal if anything I guess.

Good luck anyone else testing over next couple of days though.

ok girls, I'll do it for you Thursday it is!

I honestly don't have a scooby do what will happen as I don't know what my normal cycle length will be off the pill, but we'll run with thursday and see what happens.

DH works away in the north sea, 2weeks away 3 weeks home, he's home Tuesday so think that's why I've been driving myself mad, no one to distract me from it all!! My birthday on Saturday so fingers crossed for the best birthday pressie EVER!!!! xxx

I really want to test today but don't have anything to pee on, might pop into Boots later on and see, I'm due on either today or tomorrow. I had period cramps - lower back pain in my case - on Friday, nothing yesterday and today I've got back ache again but a metallic taste in my mouth which I never get with AF so I'm all confused and going slightly mad. The weird taste has got me all hopeful but the backache is making me think AF is just round the corner...

helloo
im still here at the mo, but think i might not be on so much this month as i was obsessing a tad too much last month!! lol

Hello ladies - joining the August bus as the witch visited last weekend. Only just got over the depression of her arriving so got on this bus a bit late!

Heffieanna TTC#1 Cycle 6 UCL 30-34 (??) CD 7.

Only on day 7 ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!1

Congrats to those with +ves. Exciting to see a couple now!

Had stayed away for a few days as DH looked like changing his mind about this month being the one to start and I was pretty miffed. Feeling chuffed to bits today those as finally got started today! Should still bee in time I think (working on average standard cycles as I'm not temping or anythign like that).

TMI comming up warning - never had sex without condoms before, how do you keep it all in, the gunk will be no good to me if it all just leaks out again?!

Hi All

Congrats to those who got their bfps!!!!! You must be really excited!!

I think I ovulated 9 days ago now (cycles are a bit messed up after miscarriage though) but that's what the ovulation sticks told me. Anyway on Friday I had very light, barely there spotting! Convincing myself this must be implantation bleeding I took a test this morning and BFN :-( Hoping it's just too early still.

Anyone else got a BFP?

MONDAY STATS- morning everyone..

Figured I should stop being the one who never unloaded the dishwasher... have changed the order of a couple hopefully now in correct CD number... (hope I have done it right...)

floweryboots - some swear by lying down for about 20 mins afterwards (with a pillow under your hips...might be an old wives tale though!). Even if a massive gloop falls out some will stay in there
Sooooo...the day is here, little signs of things but no AF - going slowly crazy, Boots was closed yesterday so need to get DD down for her nap and then up again so I can pop down and pick something up. Cross your fingers ladies, I don't want AF to show up!

chulita - best of luck today

I had the WORST nights sleep ever! so surprised as was super tired & lethargic yesterday so thought I would nodd straight off, was waking up constantly during the night and couldn't get to sleep cuz I felt like I needed to pee, but didn't. Totally symptom spotting so probably all in my head! today I have strange pains in lower abdomen, well not pains, more like a dull ache.. hmmm.

hows everyone else doing today?

Morning all. I've just done an ebay cheapie and got a BFN . Sorry Lia and MrsZaC but I just caved.

I know its probably too early as if I ov'd at all it was late and I'm on CD26 but I am driving myself MAD. I just want to know!

I still have none of the usual pre-AF symptoms. Which probably means AF will be late so I have more time to get even more mental!

I'm really finding this months 2ww SOOO much harder than usual. I think its because of the impending visit to fertility clinic on 1/12. I SOOOO wanted to get a BFP so that I don't have to go [shame]. I've probably stressed myself out so much that I will have the longest ever cycle!

Anyone else feeling as mental as me?! No?

owh polly I don't blame you, sorry to hear about your BFN.. I'll send positive thoughts your way... you may still get that + so chin up chick

I have to confess I did a cheeky test yesterday afternoon, it was of course a BFN and it was silly of me to A. do it in the first place and B. do it in the afternoon, I mean what did I think I would achieve!!? anyways hoping it was far too early and will hopefully hold out until Thursday.

I've downloaded an app for my iphone that is
AMAZING! it's called sucess by andrew johnson, and is like a meditation, soooooo helps to clear my mind from all this baby stuff!

xx

Lia you know about temping and POAS!! Am 7 dpo according to FF and have just had a big temp rise. Could it mean anything.

Polly at least you didn't cave in before yesterday like I predicted.

Am not due to Friday so will have to see how long I can hold out.

Hello, have been lurking for awhile and wondered if I could join? it has taken me a bit of a while to learn the lingo!!
I have a question.... ummm how many times and how often does everyone get busy trying over the fertile few days? Sorry to barge in and ask a question like that! Hope it's not too rude!!

i've just done two more tests and got dark pink bfp,now i can finally believe i am pregnant, although i cant believe it's happened on cycle 1. i'm amazed.

good luck to everyone, i've got a feeling this bus must be a lucky bus and there are going to be many more bfps very soon.

teafan sorry I'm never around at the weekends. The Monitor said 'high' on Sat, yesterday and today. Don't know when it will hit 'peak' (assuming it will. Actually I'm not assuming at all) but presumably in the next couple of days.

Quite reassuring that something is happening... obviously I worry about my age and the fact that neither I nor DH have had children before, but I am least reassured that AFs slotted back into place, to the day, after I came off the pill and have regular cycles.

Sorry to bore you all but I think I'm telling myself, really - every month comes and goes (well it's only cycle 4 now) and I think shoot, I'll never get what nearly every woman has got...

POLLY I nearly caved in today it took all my restraint not too so you could have a good view. Have 5 cheapo HPTs burning a whole in my drawer.
