Twenties ttc part 2

[seanybosmummysfedupwaiting]

Hi girls, here's the new thread...may it bring baby dust,bfps and positivity

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

Well hello. Thank you so much for your good wishes...
Just back from the doctor now, and I quote: "yeah, probably just a late period. Test again in a week's time if you've still had nothing. We do say to wait until a week after your period is late you know."

A WEEK'S TIME?!

So far, so confused....

How is everyone else getting on? Welcome new girls x

Grrrrr! Its so annoying when Dr's dont have the answers!

What might be an idea is to monitor each day and keep a lil diary of all symptoms, changes etc. I then took this to my last appointment and the Dr then did the hCG as I have had 3 lighter "periods" and BFN. who knows! Either way I'm remaining positive. If I am then this is week 10...crumbs!

Can I join in? I'm 28, 3 DDs, ttc DC4. DD3 only 6m though and still bf so don't think will conceive until I stop bf (never have before, seems to be very effective contraception for me). Really broody and wish I would start menstruating so could conceive! Feeing very nauseaous and off food recently, but poas and got BFN, so must be coincidence. Damn!

Good Luck jumblequeen
I am sorry to hear about your ectopic pregnancy harmony lets hope you get better quick so you can ttc again x
How is everybody else? hello bathroomsink

talking bout cold, am freezing, i am hypothyroid, so i cant tolerate any level of cold, i have my socks on with a cuppa.
(grin)

Dont know why am feeling hungry today, maybe cuz am cold sitting in one place.
I had kebab, bread, tea, juice, drink, buscuit, yoghurt, pad thai noodles, hmm.. i think am greedy

UPDATE:

Tested this morning (my last one, I thought 'what the hell') and got a very faint but definitely discernible BFP after about 40 seconds! Even DP had to admit there was a line there (ghostly though it was ) and he's not one to jump the gun.

Still trying not to get too excited as the line was faint but can't help myself.... I suppose I'll test again in a couple of days to confirm.

My head is a spin...

How is everyone else getting on?

Welcome Littlesilver

OMG Jumblequeen!!!!!

They do say a line is a line!!!

I have been of for a few days due to terrible weather doing something to my internet

Welcome newbies!!! Hopefully your time here will be short

I am just waiting for AF to bugger off so we can start over this month.

Seany - How are you feeling? Any mad symptoms? Are you gonna test on Friday or wait a few days?

Will see if I can put the list back together

Thanks Ant!! I'm trying to convince myself that the test was dodgy or I'm going bonkers just in case.... I'm going to get another test and try again in a couple of days.

DP's response: "oh god we're never going to have sex again..."

aaggggggggggghhhhhhhhh jumble!!!!!!!!!!!!! congratulations!!! the next few days will be torture for you.

ant glad your back online. Im ok,got my prescription for clomid off the doc this morning,and had slight spotting today so i guess af is on her merry way. I have to take clomid on my first day of bleeding, so im afraid to take it now just incase i have the same luck as jumble! lol

Welcome newbies and good luck!!

kaylo, whitty, where did you go?

Bubble if your lurking, hope you are well hun xx

Tell me about it! Like I say, I'm trying not to focus on it too much the theory seems to be that a line is definitely a line...just heard from another MNer who only ever had a faint line - go figure!

Mind if I stick around on this thread until I know for sure (and maybe even after )?

x x x x

Hi all

I hope this is the right thread... I am so new to all this!

I am 27 and about to start TTC (just getting used to the acronyms too!) I am married and we've decided that 2010 is the year!

I don't think I am too young at all to b starting down this road, but none of my friend are anywhere near considering babies, which is kinda why I am here - no else to discuss it all with! I am a lawyer in the city, and saying you want to have a baby at my work is like dropping a bomb... so I think I'll be keeping quiet for now!

As we're thinking of starting trying in January (that way I'll be one year qualified as lawyer and it makes a difference to all the boring stuff like maternity pay!), what do ya'll think about diet, alcohol and caffeine etc now, in the pre-TTC stage..? I don't smoke, so that's no problem, and I have started (today!) taking folic acid, but is there anything else I should think about do you think? I'm also not on the pill (it SERIOUSLY disagrees with me!),so I guess coming off that is one less thing to think about too.

I am excited to be starting on this journey!

x x x

jumble dont you dare go anywhere!!! [waggling finger emoction] We need you to stay here and keep us updated and to remind us that happy endings do happen!!

Hiya legallyblond-good luck for 2010 wow you sound very organised! .

We love a bit of organisation on here-im a big list maker myself lol (speaking of lists,will we start ours up again girls?)

Thats a good start with the folic acid and the fact that you dont smoke legallyb. I quit smoking 18 days before i found out i was pregnant with my ds,which was great as i had made the choice myself and didnt feel pressurised into it.

I have heard that losing 10% of your body weight if you are overweight is a big help,which is why up til now i have lost 19.5lb. [very proud of myself emoction]Im not a big drinker either which is a help.

Just an update on my situation-i thought af had arrived earlier as had a few streaks of pinky blood, and some stained a pad(wasnt red,more a pinky brown colour). I thought it was a little too heavy to be spotting so i had decided i may as well take my first dose of clomid,as ive to take it cd1 til cd5.
Anyway i was worried about taking it so didnt and then i realised the bleeding/spotting or whatever it was has stopped again. so im gonna hold off til tomorrow to see if it comes back with a vengence and then take the 1st dose.
Afs def on her way tho cause i have started to cramp alot I just hate all this confusion!!

seanybosmummy - aw, thank you
I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed, but as there's still no sign of AF I can't help but feel a bit elated. Would love to stick around on this thread til every one of us gets BFPs - you ladies rock!
What you're experiencing at the moment sounds damnably near to what I went through earlier this week so if AF doesn't turn up in the next day or so I would definitely reconsider the Clomid!

Welcome legallyb - you do sound very organised...! And a bit like me i i'm honest - I'd managed to collect no fewer than four pregnancy books before I'd even conceived (if this is indeed, what I have done )
It's great that you're not on the pill as you won't have to think about your body's readjustment period and can concentrate on anything genuinely "different" as you TTC.
In terms of diet etc, i started taking folic acid the moment we decided to TTC and also iron... though that's more to do with the fact that I have v. low blood pressure (I'd been meaning to start taking it for ages).
The only other thing I'm struggling with (I don't smoke) is the thought of a christmas without booze!

thats awesome jumblequeen you're updates keep me positive!

Yesterday was a pants day - emotions all over the place, crying, angry, tired

Been getting aches in my calves and lower back and finding it difficult to sleep for the past 2 nights. Had slight pelvic discomfort so it all seems to be going on right now. Anyone able to shed some light? Still awaiting hCG results on Friday...

Thank you - bathroomsink! It was just like me to have an out of the norm experience of things
When are you due to get your results back? I had (have) lower back pain but that was also a sign of AF for me... it was the tummy cramps that were unusual. My only advice is to note anything that feels unusual... unfortunately for me, I was on the pill for so long that I could hardly remember what AF felt like!

Thanks so much for all the welcomes girls!

Organised...? ha! My husband would laugh if he saw that! I did actually do one super organised thing though - about six weeks ago I finally got up to date with having the dreaded smear test - all came back clear thank goodness.

I have fingers crossed for you all this month!

Defo will do. Everything at the moment unusual. I had had the most amount of lower stomach gurgling. No pain just an uneasy feeling. I'm feeling obese now with belly and boobs bigger than I'm used to...I'm becoming a monster

Rant over! How are you and the other TTC's doing today??xx

WooHOOOOOOO for Jumble!
I think I'm as excited and impatient as you
I'm drumming my fingers on my desk waiting for you next post...

Updated - sorry if it's not right.

Nothing to report here, still waiting for AF to feck off. So we can start again.

Got completely soaked today going down to pick up DS - was bucketing down - rubbish. We then got splashed on by about 4 cars on the way home So we are trying to dry off.

Ooooh Seany - got my fingers crossed for ya!!

How is everyone else??

Hi Antdamm,
Nothing much else to report. I'm still on the edge of my seat for an update from jumble
AF is due on Saturday so desperatly resisting the urge to test at the moment
I've found packs of 3 tests in the local pound shop so I've been stockpiling....

Hello Everyone,

I've seen congrats are in order for you Jumble you must be thrilled!! - lets hope it start's the ball rolling

I'm gonna freely admit that I'm not keeping up with this thread (or any for that matter) as I'm on 2ww and getting close to obsession and it's driving me crazy. I'm testing in a weeks time, I think, so I'll be 2 days early technically but I think a BFP should still be detectable with a CBD or FR. If it's a BFN I'll be devastated cos I've just about got myself convinced....

SYMPTOMS
taste in mouth like I've been chomping on paperclips!
funny feelings in abdomen
chest shooting pains
lots of weeing
headaches

all of the above I had whilst on 2ww with last pregnancy. Hmm, wheres time machine when you need one???

I hope you're all well, I'm sorry I'm neglecting you all - please forgive me

xxx

and forgot to add

nausea - yuk!!!

Ooooh Kaylo - those symptoms sound hopeful!! I understand your need to step away from the madness.

Just make sure you come back to tell us the news.....

oooh, kaylo, that all sounds good
I'm keeping my fingers very crossed for you.

I've got a work do tonight and am already rehearsing my excuses for saying 'no' to a second bottle glass of wine
It is most out of character for me
