Well ladies, its about time we had a new thread, the old one is getting very long. Plus I think we need another fresh start, with lots of positive babydust:

Get a big handful girls, i think we all need it.
I was trying to think of something great and positive to put, but this TTC lark is getting us all down, i'm fed up of trying, but we will all succeed eventually, our times will come.

It will be much better for our little ones to have a good start when our bodies are truly ready to carry them.

Morning girls!
OMG!!slight line on preg test from yesterday(full story on aprilbabyshowers.com thread)have not got energy to write it all again!
Basically had 3 bfn's last week(and when you look back on them..are def bfn's)
Then did one yesterday,chucked it before looking at it as was sure would be a bfn again,got it out the bin in the eve and theres a slight line!!!Thing is your not meant to read them after ten mins!!

Toothache · 02/08/2005 09:22

Shelly24 - I did that..... fished it out the bin every 2 mins just to make sure the faint line was still there. And my dd is 1 today!! GO DO ANOTHER ONE JUST TO CHECK!!! I really hope you are pg.... you have been through so much.

shelly24 · 02/08/2005 09:25

i'm SOO close to tears,thats how bad it is!!!

shelly24 · 02/08/2005 09:26

i just want the chance to be a mum again....

Toothache · 02/08/2005 09:30

Aw shelly24 - You will be. Do you have another test.... just to make sure? I did 8 over the space of 5 days with dd!

shelly24 · 02/08/2005 09:31

Yeah i have loads,just SOO scared to do one again toothache!!

Diddle · 02/08/2005 09:31

shely24, did you get a line straight away or just after a long time???
if it was just after a long time then its not reliable, there will be an evaporation line on it. Go and get a digital one then it will tell you in words. i always find them more reliable.

shelly24 · 02/08/2005 09:32

Happy birthday to you little one by the way!!!
1 today!!(aaaah,bless!).x

Diddle · 02/08/2005 09:35

shelly24, if you do a line one, do it and then look at it less than 10 mins, that is the most reliable result. I;ve done the same, and looked at it after and there was a line, but i wasn't pg it was an evaporation line. Thast whyt ehy say not to look at it after 10 mins

OP posts:
Toothache · 02/08/2005 09:35

Thanks Shelly. Go do another one and see if the line comes up after 2 or 3mins. If not, do what Diddle said. Get a digital one and try again tomorrow morning.

shelly24 · 02/08/2005 09:37

I didn't look at it!!I presumed it would be a negative again!So just chucked it in the bin,and fished it out in the eve!?
Think i will get a digi one,but may wait till the end of the week(very scared!)
The others didn't have an evaporation line after awhile,just a def one line in the test window,and a blank result window?

Toothache · 02/08/2005 09:46

Shelly24 - Don't want to get your hopes up, but I think it sounds like a positive. Can you take a photo of it and post a link on here??? Or CAT me???

Diddle · 02/08/2005 09:47

funny things tests. i'd do another just to be sure, actually knowing me i'd do loads more. i did 6 with my first pg good luck, lets hope that you get that BFP.

peepee · 02/08/2005 09:57

I am back. Have been monitoring the site though. Pleased to see that there are some possible pregnacies out there.

Had my hospital appointment last week. All is well. Have been told that should I fall pregnant again I will have to have a heparin jab and take aspirin daily until 12weeks. Am booked in for a womb scan on 16/08 just to make sure that all is 100%.

DH and I are positive all is ok as during other scans the docs checked out ovaries fallopian tubes etc and said all was ok. We are already trying to conceive that's why i have joined the thread.

I have worked out that if you wait three days after A/F and then start trying especially hard on days 5,6,7,8, you will get p/g. It has worked 4 times for me and we had only started trying a year ago. So it does work.

Good luck all and have fun practicing.

Diddle · 02/08/2005 11:08

peepee - i remember you from a good few months ago, very glad to see you're back and all is in working order. excelent news. feel very positive after hearing from you, very strange. excellent though.

Shelly24 I have everything crossed for you

I still have no AF.I am never late.Last month 31 days and before that 28 since I was wearing long socks.

Know I ov on 17.07.05 so on the 14 day theory should have AF now. Done countless bfns but all same internet brand so thinking stupidly I have a bad batch!!!
Also read on here many women who nit got get a bfp till many days after af due so some hope for us yet shelly24.

Funny thing is boobs starting to feel different.
(just know AF will come now I have uttered those words...)

LunarSea · 02/08/2005 11:40

CP/Tabs - I'll have been on vits of some sort Pregnacare/Pronatal/whatever for 9 years in Spetember - all bar about 3 months between stopping feeding ds and starting ttc again. I should buy shares in the company that makes them I think. It's got to the point now where I buy them 270 at a time - 9 months worth - as it's cheaper than gettig 30 at a time.

CP - I read "before that 28 since I was wearing long socks" and wondered how wearing long socks could make your cycle 28 days. Was thinking that this was a tactic I'd never heard of or tried! Good luck anyway - socks or not!

And you too shelley - go do another test, and look at it this time(!) rather than leaving us all in suspense.

CHOCOLATEPEANUT · 02/08/2005 11:53

Lunarsea

Since puberty you twit!!

Shelly we should make a vow not to test till Fri

After that if no good going to docs

LunarSea · 02/08/2005 12:17

CP - yeah I realised that after a second or so, it was just the way I read it first time with "since" in the "because" sense of the word, rather than the "elapsed time" sense. Gave me a laugh anyway.

shelly24 · 02/08/2005 12:29

Ok c.p...i promise if you do too!!!We'll wait till friday yeah?
I can do it if i know someone else is holding out 2!!..x.x.x

Diddle · 02/08/2005 14:28

Hellkat - you with us today?? haven't heard much from you lately. is everything alright? hows the bruising.

Lots of love and luck to us both baby girl.We so need this after the shared experience we have had.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

shelly24 · 02/08/2005 15:51

Same to you hunny.x.x.x.
It makes me really emotional thinking of what we both have been through already this year,lets hope that the next half of it is alot happier for both of us.x.x.x.x.x.xx.x.x.x..x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.

nicmum2boys · 02/08/2005 16:10

Ooooh, good luck Shelly and Chocolatepeanut, sounds really promising for both of you.

Maddyd, how are you? Did you test today? Thinking of you.

Thanks everyone for the healthy eating tips, yes please Tabs would love that article, will CAT you once I work out how to do it .

Af has packed her bags at last! So we can begin again.
Been trying to post all day, but keep having to run off to the garden as DS2 who is just 2 keeps getting to the top of our new climbing frame and trying to hurl himself off. Still, must be keeping me fit lol!
Am now going to make a concerted effort to eat more healthily and exercise. I've lost 2 stone since the beginning of the year, but now have a greater reason to keep going with it. Need to refocus, as last month I've let things slip as was concentrating on getting pg, although pleased not to have put on weight. I think DH actually agreeing to try has just knocked me sideways. Really did not expect him to, and seriously thought I would never have this chance. Now I have it I want to grasp it with both hands (ooh er!).

Cori have you started a diet thread (not had a chance to look today), think that sounds like a good idea.

I'm off to cook a healthy tea, and then going for a swim once the DSs are in bed, so will be back later feeling virtuous (or exhausted, one of the two!)

Diddle · 02/08/2005 16:21

nic & Tabs - the article is great, not to keen on the give up alchohol and coffee section, but its a great read, and i'm going to try and stick to it. maybe not the coffee, but possibly the wine.
