hi Dana

I think thats what im gonna do. My next Af is due Next thursday 11th. So ill wait and see what happens then.
Thanks for everyones help!

lilaclotus · 02/08/2005 08:33

hi dana, i get ovulation pains. they are quite strong pains on one side, usually on the right side. they are not like cramps, more a sharp pain. they last about 24 hours.

hope4bump · 02/08/2005 09:26

BFN - was not holding much hope, the test i used was not an early predictor one, and Af not due till thurs, the one i used yesterday was ultra early and sure there was a very very faint line, going to do clearblue digital on thursday unless Af shows before, looking forward to holiday on saturday.

Dana · 02/08/2005 10:16

H4B, Hope it's just too early for a normal test
Try and hold out until Thursday (or even Friday) for another test, then you know for sure and don't need to waste your money. Easier said than done, I know!!
Where are you going on your holidays?

hope4bump · 02/08/2005 10:54

going Florida, so really want to find out for sure one way or another, not a good idea going on cliffhanger rides when pregnant . Maybe end up with a Florida baby if not pg this month.

Anybody else waiting to test.

I'm getting really inpatient, never felt like this before. is it a sign?

Lilaclotus - how many days late are you?

best go, trying to get all my work upto date before Hols

lilaclotus · 02/08/2005 11:15

argghh AF came. only a day late. at least i know my cycle is 26-27 days.

Dana · 02/08/2005 13:06

Oh poo lilaclotus So sorry to hear that. It was first month of trying though, wasn't it? Not that it makes it any less disappointing, I know!!

H4B . Wish it was me. Went to Florida a few years back (before DS ) Did Disneyland and Universal studios. It was excellent, I am sure your DD will love it. Hopefully you will now if pg or not, before you go.

shelly24 · 02/08/2005 14:17

I'm waiting to test H4B,my Af was due yesterday,and still no sign,did a test yesterday and got a really faint line,but you can see it,and i initially thought i was going mad,but DH said he could see it too!
I don't want to get my hopes up to much though,so am going to hold out till friday and get a proper digi one(have a load of early preg tests off net!),and see what happens from there.
Is my first month ttc,so not gonna be too hard on myself if bfn!
How about you?how you feeling?it really gets to you doesn't it!!!!

hope4bump · 02/08/2005 15:00

Does get to you, i used one of the ultra early ones of internet, got v v faint line yesterday, tested today with normal one and bfn, i wonder how reliable they are, i have got a clearblue digital test(well 3) going to use that on thursday if Af not shown. trying not to build hopes up. feeling like Af on its way.. im not sure how long you would say we been ttc, did not go for depo inj due in march, only got first Af june apart from a little bleed in may. doctor told us it can take a year for your body to get back to normal, so if i get pg before xmas that will be nice. but still hoping for this month.

hope4bump · 02/08/2005 15:03

DP: 27
(engaged)
DD: 4
i'm belgian and moved to nottingham 5 years ago to live with DP. got pregnant with DD the first week of living here!

sarjon · 02/08/2005 20:29

My stats (think I've already posted these but you can have them again!!)

Me: 25
DH: 27
Got married last year in July (hardly feels like a year ago!!)

TTC no.1!!!!!
(although have gorgeous 20month old godson who I refer to as my surrogate son, I get all the joy but get to give him back at the end of the day!!! )

Lilaclotus, sorry to hear bout af arriving, fingers crossed for next month now!?

H4B - will be thinking of you this week as you resist the temptation of not testing til thursday!! You must be very excited bout your holiday, went to Florida when I was 11 and loved it, went to Disneyland Paris last year (degree fieldtrip - don't ask why!!) and still loved it!!!!

Your v faint line sounds promising Shelly24, from what I've heard its almost impossible to get a false positive so heres hoping!!

My DH has always wanted to go to Legoland Dana, (trying to reclaim his youth methinks!!) but I've told him we have to wait til our Godson is old enough to go on some of the rides but if you say your 2 yr old had a great time then not long for DH to wait

I think my af is due sometime this week - I am fairly irregular - but absolutely no signs yet!!

Dana · 03/08/2005 09:28

Don't think we ever really did our stats on this thread. Good idea - here's mine:

Me: 26, Danish - moved to the UK 1999
DH: 32, Scottish
Married 5 years this month ( can't believe it's 5 years already)

1 DS(2)- conceived first month of trying

Came off the pill early June to start TTC no. 2. First cycle 45 days, now on day 15 of 2nd month. Hoping for a result soon.

Shelly, good luck on Friday. Hoping the best for you!!

homemama · 03/08/2005 10:06

Hi girls, couldn't keep away. Last night we decided to keep trying despite the move and the inevitable sickness

Stats as follows;
Me: 32
DH: 27 (my toyboy )
DS: 8 1/2mths
Last mth was the first mth of trying after the return of AF following BF.

Ideally I'd like a big brood of four boys but any flavour will do. Also may have left it a bit late for four!

Dana · 03/08/2005 10:36

Welcome back homemama (not that you were away long ) Glad to hear you decided to go ahead anyway - new house and new baby - sounds good to me!! Good luck for this month
You conceived DS quickly too didn't you?

homemama · 03/08/2005 14:16

Yep!! first month of trying for me too! Although there was, ahem, lots of trying that month
I think because we found it so easy first time, I just expected it to happen straight away again.
Must get more practice in this month.

Janbo25 · 03/08/2005 14:17

good luck practice is good lol

hope4bump · 03/08/2005 15:02

shelly24 - are you still waiting to test on friday?

good luck to everyone ttc.

testing tomorrow, will let you all know as soon as, still feeling yucky, funny sort of stomach cramps, not sure if Af arriving, but doesn't really feel like that.
feeling very tired.

Janbo25 · 03/08/2005 15:16

gl hope

shelly24 · 03/08/2005 16:44

Tested again yesterday afternoon,got the same sort of pale mark again.....then did one around same time today,and got a pale mark again!!?So think i will leave it for def until the weekend or the dreaded AF turns up....
(so in conclusion have three pale tests,that look like they are stronger each time...am prob looking at them TOO much,and should really just chuck them...but can't!!!(yuk!),still no AF,have cramps every now and then in lower tummy,but apart from that am good)
Will keep you informed.....x.x.x.

hope4bump · 03/08/2005 16:55

shelly24 - how late are you? or are you not yet?

shelly24 · 03/08/2005 16:56

Only a day late?

Janbo25 · 03/08/2005 16:57

why not get the clearblue digital one that way you'll get a straight answer??

LilacLotus · 03/08/2005 17:01

shelly24 · 03/08/2005 17:06
