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!

Hi all,
I agree a new thread for a fresh start would be a good idea.

Keeping everything crossed that its implantation artoo.

fingers crossed for you too twirl.

Dana, are you feeling better?

Well i have never been so happy to see af starting to arrive, I have only just started to spot but at least theres signs of it. So dh and i can get cracked on with bd'ing again

Artoo · 27/09/2005 07:08

Well ladies, AF is definitely here with a vengeance

Looks like I'll be hanging around a while longer - I now have 3 cycles worth of data on fertilityfriend, and it looks like my luteal phase is too short for me to be able to get pregnant at all - it's about 6 days.

So I'm reading up on how to deal with that.

Hugs,
Artoo.

LilacLotus · 27/09/2005 08:41

aww artoo sorry it was AF

AF is due tomorrow here. and my sore boobs, bad mood and spotty skin have gone now, so that sounds about right.

staceym11 · 27/09/2005 08:49

oh artoo im sorry about af, iv been feeling ever so nauseous the last few days and it feels odd when me and dh bd. (really dunno how else to put it) oh yeah and i need the loo all the time, dont remember that at the begninning with dd but who knows! im crossing my fingers! due af on 4th oct

homemama · 27/09/2005 09:35

Sorry about AF Artoo
I feel like I've been on this thread forever but in reality we've only been trying for 4mths and the last two, we deliberately didn't try so I don't know why I feel so down about it.
Good luck Twirl and Stacey, sounds promising. LL, hope AF doesn't show for you either.
Puppy, I'm on CD5 today so you're not far behnd me (as everyone else seems to be in sync.)
Hope you're ok, Dana

OMG!!! i am shaking!!!

BFP!!!!!

i decided to test and it was positive! i had completely lost hope this cycle and even had a glass of wine last week because i thought there was no way i could be pregnant. i am going to test again later to make sure, but am i right that CB digital ones are really correct?

Micku5 · 28/09/2005 11:24

Congratulations Lilac..... I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I get the same in a weeks time.

jersey · 28/09/2005 12:05

CONGRATULATIONS Lilac, brilliant news. Hope some of your luck rubs of.

LilacLotus · 28/09/2005 12:13

thank you all. i still can't believe it! due date should be 6th of june. which is about two weeks before DD's birthday. i was so hoping not to have to go through the summer months pregnant, so got lucky there. DP is as happy as i am with the news.
i feel a bit sad having to leave this thread. i will update you of course and hope to see you all soon in the ante-natal threads. i wish you all the very best and lots of luck.

{{hugs}}

Dana · 28/09/2005 12:39

So exciting for you and the family LL!! Suppose there is still a chance that I will be joining you on the June thread (my due date would be the same), but I am pretty sure that AF will arrive in the next couple of days, so not too hopeful.

Artoo, so sorry about AF and your short luteal phase. But at least you have kept records of it and hopefully you will be able to get some help with it.

Homemama, I agree it feels like ages even though it has only been 4 months. Hope this month is yours!!

Let's have some more BFP's!!!

Artoo · 28/09/2005 12:51

CONGRATULATIONS Lilac, that is FANTASTIC news! I'm so pleased, and I wish you a happy and healthy 9 months Please keep us updated with how you're getting on.

Crossing my fingers for you too Dana.

I've made myself a doctor's appointment for Friday evening, and will drag DH along as well. There's a good possibility that the doctor will say that my cycle needs to settle down after coming off BCP, but I thought I might as well have a chat to see if there was anything else I could or should be doing at this point.

Hugs,
Artoo.

staceym11 · 28/09/2005 12:52

oh LL thats brill congratulations, good luck with the pregnancy!!!

puppy · 28/09/2005 18:03

Congratulations lilaclotus thats fab news!!!!!!!

jane313 · 28/09/2005 18:09

congrats lilaloctus

artoo, can i ask did you determine your short luteal phase from temp taking?

Twirl · 28/09/2005 19:49

Congratulations LL, that is fantastic!
I gave in and tested last night on cd 28 and the test was negative but AF hasn't arrived today either so I guess I have a bit more waiting to do.

LilacLotus · 28/09/2005 21:52

forgot to leave you some babydust!!!

Dana · 29/09/2005 08:42

Twirl, sorry about your BFN. Is your cycle normally very regular? Do another test if AF hasn't shown within a couple of days.

Stacey, how are you doing? Sorry can't remember if it is this week or next you're due!?

Period pains have been coming and going since Friday, but no sign of it yet. It was the same last month though, so I don't take it as a good sign. I am not totally sure when I should be due, so won't test until Sunday or Monday if AF hasn't arrrived by then. Still clinging on to the hope that I might be....
I just hate the waiting!!!

Artoo · 29/09/2005 08:51

jane313, yes I've been taking my temperature every morning and using the fertilityfriend website to track progress.

Twirl, remember a BFN isn't really a BFN until AF shows her face. Test again in a few days if she's still not showed.

I'm sure we have some more BFPs lurking in this thread soon...

Hugs,
Artoo.

Dana · 29/09/2005 12:47

LL (if you're still here), just realised that your due date is 06/06/06 - that's pretty cool. (Unless you live in Denmark where when said out loud it is the Danish equivalent of: no sex/no sex/no sex .)

Hmm, AF pains are getting worse, so think it's just a matter of hours. Was just starting to feel a little hopeful as well. Baaaaah!!!

MandM · 29/09/2005 14:03

CONGRATULATIONS LilacLotus !!!!!!

I popped back onto this thread to see how everyone is doing and I've just seen your news. I'm so pleased for you!

Dana - fingers crossed for you here. I'll check in again tomorrow and early next week to see if there are any developments.

Dana · 29/09/2005 14:52

Hi MandM, how are you feeling? Hope all is well. Have you had your consultant appointment yet?

I really can't concentrate on anything at the moment, and I know it won't get better until I see either AF or a BFP (guess which I would rather see). Not so good for work, as I have lots to do.

homemama · 29/09/2005 16:10

Fantastic news LL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great to have another BFP on the thread as I'm feeling quite down about the whole thing at the moment. I've got that feeling where I can't imagine it ever happening.
Anyway, don't want to dampen your mood! Well done!
Hi MandM, hope you are keeping well!
Hope everyone else is holding up.
