Hi girls, this is the new, combined thread. I figured that only those lucky enough to manage it this month would make it into spring, so I'm aiming for a big summer belly. Good luck to all of us!

oops didn't mean for that to be in bold.

puppy · 28/08/2005 11:39

well af is due today and i tested only to get a bfn, no signs of af,none of the usual spotting i get.
no nausea today either but af like pains what is my body doing? will wait a few more days to see what happens.

Micku5 · 28/08/2005 17:48

well I gave in... but test was negative. (no surprise there really) looks like I'll have to go back to norethisterone and clomid for some help.

lovecloud · 28/08/2005 18:28

Munz - hello again, made a sharp exit earlier as my dh thinks i am obsessed my mumsnet and he walked in the room saying "Where is she, I bet she's on that mumsnet!!!"

It looks like I will have a May baby

Mad - just how I planned it!!!

How are you?

I still dont really feel pregnant, except today and yesterday I have had a afternoon nap which is very unlike me and I feel a little queasy but then that could be pschological...God I hope I really am and that this baby clings on as its so early.

Positive thoughts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Loubie37 · 28/08/2005 18:36

congratulations lovecloud!!

I'm on CD25 now and this morning for the first time ever FF has said that my chart is 'possibly tri-phasic' so I'm getting just a bit excited even though I'm trying really hard not to!!

Time will tell I suppose, although Wednesday seems like such a long way off....

Good luck everyone else

LilacLotus · 29/08/2005 07:44

day 28 here, so AF is due today. yesterday we had a family BBQ and i had 8 trips to the loo in the time we were there. it must have raised a few eyebrows. but i was in a terrible terrible mood yesterday morning and it got worse once i figured out it must be because AF is coming. so it's all a big mix of symptoms that could go either way and it's driving me crackers. i want to test, but DP says to wait until at least tomorrow.

Dana · 29/08/2005 08:05

I am away for the weekend and so much happens...

Congratulations Lovecloud . fantastic news!!! And here was you saying it would never happen!!!

Jersey and Micku5, sorry about AF and BFN.

Cooweee, sorry you're feeling bad, hopefully your moodiness (if that's a word) is due to pg hormones.

Loubie37, hope that's a good sign - Wednesday is only 2 days away now

Puppy, any news?

Lilaclotus, did AF arrive or did you do another test?

Homemama, how are you? Are you in your new house yet?

CD41 for me, 4 days to test day if no AF. I haven't really got symptoms a part from sore boobs, but get that before AF anyway. Was feeling queasy yesterday and still am a bit today, but so is DH, so probably something we ate.

Dana · 29/08/2005 08:10

sorry LL, post crossed. Hope it's pg symptoms and not pmt!! I would wait until tomorrow to do a test. (ok, maybe I wouldn't but it sounds sensible )
Fingers crossed for you!!

puppy · 29/08/2005 08:46

Fingers crossed LL.

Thanks for asking dana, AF still not arrived, no spotting like the norm. I have took a strip hpt and it was negative but but at 6 mins there was a slight line i have to see this as a evapouration line. DH wants me to wait till the ed of the week till i test next if af has not arrived. I hate this not knowing

Dana · 29/08/2005 09:14

Puppy, was it a 5 min test. I mean is the result no good after 5 min? For most tests it is within 10 min I think. Migth be worth getting a different kind of test and try again in a day or two... you got a faint positive a couple of days ago, didn't you?

munz · 29/08/2005 10:18

puppy - if nothing by the end of the week I vote for digital test for u, normally with the strip's it's 10 mins. good luck. (((hugs))

puppy · 29/08/2005 11:17

i got a very faint positive a couple of days ago, but it was out of the time limit, i took another this morning and it was the same but the line appeared slightly more obvious iykwim. According to the instructions its a three min test. I will have to used my will power and be strong and wait till weekend and use the remaining strip test i have.

lovecloud · 29/08/2005 12:34

hello puppy

surely a faint line is positive???

please tell me it is otherwise i am not pregnant!

well i hope you are and you must be!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am feeling normal, no signs of pregnancy other than weeing more often tired during the day...

how is everyone else?

munz · 29/08/2005 14:02

lc - yes a faint is a positive, and u used CB which are 99.9% accurate (that's why my DR didn't re test me he recons they're as good as the ones they use.)

puppy · 29/08/2005 17:12

Well guys i have just been to the loo and there was blood when i wiped , so the very faint lines that i saw on the strip tests must have been evap lines, but i don't understand the symptons i have i don't normally get symptons or cramps with af the nausea disappeared a couple of days ago an the blue veins are very much there. sigh oh well dh and i can have more fun with bd ing

Dana · 30/08/2005 07:39

Puppy, so sorry if AF showed up I was so hopeful for you.

Lilaclotus, how are you today? Did you test?

Don't quite know how it happened, but when I was going for a pee last night, a pg test (left over from last month) jumped out of the cupboard, out of the packaging and in to my hand . Just had to use it then, didn't I? BFN. Not really surprised as a) if I ovulated when I think I did (and I'm still not sure), I am about 10-11dpo, so prob. too early. and b: I don't feel pg.
Still a bit disappointed though....
Will def. wait until Fri/Saturday before testing again now.

How's everybody else??

Artoo · 30/08/2005 08:33

puppy - if it's a small amount of blood it could be implantation bleeding and not af. See how things develop over the next few days.

Lilaclotus - how did the test go?

Hugs to all
Artoo.

jersey · 30/08/2005 08:35

CONGRATULATIONS Lovecloud, wow that was so quick!!! Fingers crossed for the rest of us.

Technically we aren't properly trying yet, but I am so busy I keep forgetting my pill, so you never know!

Got to wait till November as start final year of my course next month and after having to take a break in the first year for DS and pre-eclampsia, trying to time it so will finish course in June and have baby after that. Will see what happens.

Good Luck everyone xxxxxxxx

LilacLotus · 30/08/2005 08:50

sorry about the bleeding, puppy. i hope it's implantation bleed rather than AF.

dana, sorry about the BFN

i tested with a CB digital test and it was BFN. but still no AF and i didn't get a BFP until 8 weeks in with my first pregnancy. still have all those confusing symptoms.

Dana · 30/08/2005 09:06

LL, sorry about your BFN too, but it ain't over before AF arrives. Will keep my fingers crossed for you.

Artoo, any news on your results?

puppy · 30/08/2005 10:01

hi guys feeling abit down and tearful this morn,
the bleed stopped about half an hour later and a few hours later a tiny bit of blood stained creamy cm. The blood wasn't like period blood i really can't explain it like a medium pink red brown colour.went out an bought early response test this am as no bleeding since. not sure if its my imsgination but think i saw a faint watermark type line appear, took test appart and it was hardly visible. I'm just sick of all these sypmtons and bfn tests i'm sure the lines i see are evap lines as they are out of the time limit. well today is 17dpo i should have come on sunday, Sure i will find out for definate in 9 months .

homemama · 30/08/2005 10:17

Well done Lovecloud! Congratulations!
Puppy, hope you're feeling a little better.
This TTC malarky is enough you drive us all insane!
Sorry about your BFN Dana, maybe just too early.

Hi to everyone else. Sorry to hear of yours too, LL. When will you test again?
BTW, AF turned up here on thurs. I'm not disappointed as we deliberately didn't try this month. Well, maybe a little bit
I'm going to use OV tests again this month.

munz · 30/08/2005 10:22

puppy - try to wait for a day or two then go to ur dr for blood tests. (((hugs))) hope it's the right result, was the FR in the time scale?

puppy · 30/08/2005 10:32

I think going to the doctors for a blood test is my best bet , the fr was on just over the 3 mins not by much though. It could only be seen in a certain light at a certain angle. I have the day off work tomorrow so will see if i can get an appt for then.

LilacLotus · 30/08/2005 10:39

homemama, i think i will wait for AF for now. last cycle was 27 days, am now on day 29.
