Good luck for tomorrow homemama,
im going to test on Sunday. Had really bad headache last night, ended up going to bed early, feeling quite sicky today, anybody have any suggestions. Is it too early for these to be pg symptoms.
Pigleychez - have you tested yet?
Hello Dana - hope you ok?
Anyone else testing this weekend??

sarjon · 29/07/2005 10:49

Ooooh Homemama, fingers crossed for you - let us know as soon as you test!!! (you'd best buy a double pack so you can test today and tomorrow!!!)

Wish I was at that stage but know that this not the month for us, will have to be patient and wait til next month now I guess! First time ever that I've actually wanted my af to show up so we can get on with bding!!! (af due middle of next week).

pigleychez · 29/07/2005 16:13

Hi hope4bump,

I havent tested yet. may do one this weekend if i have enough courage!

Good luck everyone.

homemama · 30/07/2005 10:46

Hi all,
BFN this morning
Can't believe I'm so disappointed as this was our first month trying.
No AF yet, so if it still hasn't appeared by mon, I may test again. Not holding out hope though.

sarjon · 30/07/2005 12:13

really sorry to hear bout your bfn homemama. As you say, it is only the first month, but that doesn't really make you feel any better. Fingers crossed that your af doesn't arrive over the weekend - it is still early days yet!

Pigleychez, let us know if you decide to test this weekend or not!!

Hope4bump - fingers crossed for Sunday for you, let us know the results!!

xx

hi girls!
we have just had a lovely week in the lake district. weather was nice until thursday and then it turned rather grey and wet, but we still had fun.
i've been having the usual pregnancy symptoms (heavy boobs, feeling sick/heartburn, tired...) so i am a bit hopeful. but DP says i'm probably not, as my "hair is still falling out" as he's still finding it all over the place. told you he's a charmer! ;) anyway, AF is due tomorrow or monday. will be testing maybe wednesday if late.
best of luck to you all and it is nice to be back on here!

MrsQ · 31/07/2005 19:21

Hi Everyone, just back from a week in a soggy Cornwall. Felt a bit left out of the drinking in the evening but other than that just a mild bit of 'morning' sickness a few days in the afternoon. Sorry to hear about BFN Homemama ... hopefully you'll be testing again by Monday Looking forward to hearing good results from Pigleychez and Hope4bump x

hope4bump · 31/07/2005 19:57

Tested this morning - BFN, hopefully too early, even temperature showed high this morning, (good sign for being pg) going to retest on Tuesday, AF not due until Thursday, so waiting to see which appears BFP or AF. Going holiday on Saturday, so want to find out for sure before then if can. Have ordered clearblue digital to test on Thursday if Af not arrived.

Sorry Homemamma about BFN.
MrsQ glad you had a good time. hopefully the morning sickness will ease off. I have had afternoon sickness feelings for last two days,don't know why with BFN)

hope everyone had good weekend.
Trying not to build hopes up too much but hard not too, even DH was surprised with BFN.

lovecloud · 31/07/2005 20:24

hope4bump

i was thinking of you this time today and hoped as i click on the link when i saw your name.

sorry its a neg

well like you said you still have some hope yet so fingers crossed for you.

i am all steam ahead now for my next ovualtion date, this will be the first real try

homemama · 01/08/2005 08:39

AF appeared yesterday so I wont be testing again.
We're going to take a couple of months off from ttc as we're moving house in 2 mths and I can't bear to be sick for that (I suffered severe sickness with DS) - but I'll keep in touch.

Good luck to all of you

sarjon · 01/08/2005 08:50

Hope4bump, sorry to hear bout you negative result , keeping my fingers crossed that your af stays away!

Homemama good luck with moving, it is v stressful isn't it so not surprised you want to wait for few months. Hope it all goes well for you, stay in contact

I'm off to an antenatel class with my bf tonight (her DH is working) which should be interesting!!! Its something to do with care in early pregnancy because she had pre eclampsia with her DS and he was 8 weeks prem. I think this may either make me even more broody than I am already or totally cure me !!

hope4bump · 01/08/2005 11:24

Tested again this morning, couldn't wait till tomorrow, wish i had, showed very very faint line, confused now, just want to know for sure, used last ultra early test today so only got normal test left, think i am going to use it tomorrow and see. i am expecting to receive the clearblue digital ones today, so i am going to use one of those on thursday if Af not shown (Af due thursday) although still having odd sicky feelings during day, keeps coming and going for couple of hours.

Sarjon - how are you doing this month.
Homemamma - good luck with the house move, i there will be a new arrival in a new house next year.
Lovecloud - plenty of bd, do you keep track of temp, or using any OPK's?

Why does our body give us this much stress waiting, how did we cope before early pregnancy tests where you had to wait until you were about 6 weeks pregnant before you found out

hope4bump · 01/08/2005 11:55

Does anyone know how long it takes to get a result back from gp for pg blood test?

Toothache · 01/08/2005 11:58

Hope4Bump - A line is a line!! I got a really faint line (almost non-existant!!) 5 days before my AF was due..... DD will be 1 tomorrow!

I think you'll find your next one is a clear BFP!.

lilaclotus · 01/08/2005 12:38

hope4bump, that sounds really hopeful! i hope your next test is a big clear line!
homemama, sorry about AF coming. hope to see you around. good luck with the move!
i tested saturday, but BFN. though period wasn't due till today. i am so tempted to buy some more tests. but i think i will wait and see for now.

sarjon · 01/08/2005 13:15

Ooooh hope4bump that does sound really hopeful! I have no idea how long it takes for results to get back from the dr's for pregnancy, sorry. I know it took 5 days when I had a bloodtest for something else tho if thats any help?

Lilaclotus, keeping my fingers crossed for you that your af stays away. Are you still getting the pregnancy symptoms you said you were having on saturday?

Pigleychez, did you test over the weekend?

I apologise if I leave people out when posting - do try and keep track (even saved a list of everyone on my computer but couldnt keep up!!) but I'm sure there were more people around when this thread started originally!

This month hasn't been the best month with my DH working nights and me being stressed about my dissertation so we decided to try in ernest next month (can't wait !!)

Am living my out my broodiness in my bf's pregnancy at the moment and looking after her son (my Godson) when she's feeling rough with morning sickness etc!!!

lilaclotus · 01/08/2005 13:25

yep, still having all those symptoms. plus i forgot to mention i need the loo all the time.

pigleychez · 01/08/2005 18:17

hi sarjon,

Afraid to say i didnt test at the weekend.Just cant seem to pluck up the courage!
My stomach cramps dont seem soo bad now begining to think it was all in my head. however had a major crying fit over nothing on sat evening and the jeans that fitted perfectly a few months ago are tight!(but the scales say ive lost wieght!) VERY CONFUSING!

sarjon · 01/08/2005 21:19

Lilaclotus (always have a problem spelling that, apologies if I ever get it wrong!!!) its so tempting to test isn't it? I (I'm whilst writing this) have to admit that I even did a test this afternoon on the outside chance that I may be pregnant (only managed 'it' once during ov!!) and needless to say it was a BFN but I'm a sucker for 'need to know now'!!!! Will you be testing again in the next few days?

Pigleychez, I can't believe you have the patience to wait - does all sound confusing to me, I'm new to all this but tight clothes and hormones all over the place seem like a good sign, don't they?? I'm sure you'll test when you feel ready though.

sarjon · 01/08/2005 21:26

Pigleychez - just looked through some of your other posts ( apologies cos I couldn't remember what your situation is), am I right in thinking you're not sure if your dp is 100% about having a baby or have I got it completely wrong??

At the end of the day it is your body and you should find out whats going on with it. At least if you did a test you would know one way or another and it gives you and your dp more time to get used to the idea.

I apologise now if I've got completely the wrong end of the stick with this one, if I have totally disregard all written above!!!!!!!!

lilaclotus · 01/08/2005 21:32

sarjon, i must admit, DP and i went to tesco, bought some more tests and when we got home he asked "are you going to test then?" and sent me upstairs. it was BFN again. but as i've mentioned before i didn't get a positive until i was two months pregnant with DD. i will just have to be very patient, but i am terrible at that! and DP has been eying up the other test i have left to test himself for a laugh.

pigleychez · 01/08/2005 21:35

hi sarjon

Its not that he doesnt want one, he thinks its not possible as i had this "period" bleed a few weeks ago.
Ive tryed to explain implantation bleeding but he still doesnt think so.
I dont think i could test without him. I guess ill just have to keep at him! Men hey!

sarjon · 01/08/2005 21:46

Lol at your DP Lilaclotus !!!!

Sorry Pigleychez, looks like I did get the wrong idea!! You'll just have to keep working on him then! Or maybe just showing him a test with a BFP on it would work !!!!!!

Dana · 02/08/2005 08:23

Good morning all,

Have been away for a few days as had a long weekend. We went to Legoland with some friends on Saturday. DS (2) had a great time and there were actually a lot of rides and things to keep him busy. (I had thought it would be more for older kids)

Homemama, sorry about AF . Good luck with the new house, keep us updated...

H4B, sounds very promising, when are you testing again? or are you getting a blood test done at your GP?

Lilaclotus, sorry about BFN, hopefully it was just to early. at you DP!!

Sarjon, when is AF due? Once is enough you know

lovecloud, glad to hear that you have decided to try "for real". Hope you get a result quick.

pigleychez, when would next AF be due? (if it was a period bleed you had before). Maybe you could wait till then and if nothing shows, do a test? Or.... just test NOW!!

MandM, how are you doing?

I am currently on CD12. BDing every or every 2nd day and will keep it up for another 2-3 weeks to be on the safe side in case of another long cycle So annoying not knowing when I'm ovulating . Does anyone get ovulation pains? What are they like?

Toothache · 02/08/2005 08:27

Any news yet Hope4bump????
