The October Baby Bus

[arabella36]

Will anyone join a new baby bus with me?

I just got a BFP this morning so its very early days for me, but I'm so excited I thought what the hell, I'll head straight for the pregnancy thread anyway

If all goes according to plan this will be DC2 and due on 2nd October. Ive enjoyed being on the October TTC bus so I thought it would be fun to continue over here.

Got another super super faint line today, so still not 100% sure if I'm actually pregnant or not. What symptoms do you guys have? I'm still feeling nauseous (3rd day in a row now).

Hi ninu, I think when you test early the lines are often faint. Mine have been too. They probably get less faint as the days pass

My lines are slowly getting less faint so it's starting to feel real now.

Plus the fact thet I've been horribly nauseous and exhausted for a week now- I was sick in the kitchen sink yesterday morning, one whiff of a banana and I was gone!

Getting a bit more confident, line was faint, but definitely a line! Woo hoo!
I'm thinking the estimated due date is probably 2nd Oct (but I'm quite irregular so its hard to say).

Hi everyone, I have done 5 tests since Thursday (went a bit mad) and have had two negatives and three positives. The one I did this morning had a much clearer line - the others were very faint.

I would be due around 4th October so very early days but would love to hop on the bus! Have just told my husband and best friend. We already have one son who is 5 in May. So excited! Good luck to everybody.

Congratulations Mumtopiglet! I've just told DH for now (and hinted something to my mum). I think I'll tell her properly on her birthday on Wednesday. I think I might have to tell my best friend tonight, since we have a party, and she'll no doubt guess something's up when I don't drink anything and won't sneak out for our usual cheeky cigarette. How's everyone dealing with this? I think I'll tell everyone that I'm doing a January detox.

Hello Ladies,

Mind if I join you?

I've just had my first ever BFP this morning. Digital (so no peering at lines and wondering - saw my sister go through that and couldn't bear going through that myself).

I know it's super early days (my period was due yesterday) but I've got tender boobs and was feeling very crampy yesterday (which only usually arrives after auntie flo, not before) so I had an inkling that something was different but it's still not quite sunk in yet.

I'm 34, got married in November and only started trying after I got married, so this is pretty unexpected.

My husband and I are super excited and have told his parents and my mum and sister. We know that there's a high risk of miscarriage (my mum had 7 around my sister and I) but we both felt that it would be weird to not tell them and then only tell them if it went wrong. We want to share our happiness and have the support there if it goes wrong.

For now though, I'm choosing to be a bit excited.

Whee!

Glad it's not just me with faint lines then, I've convinced myself this is a chemical pregnancy and have bought a digital for tomorrow morning to put me out of my misery. Dp says if I am pregnant then we'll have spent more on tests than we will on the blooming baby

welcome to the new ladies and hi to everyone else. I will be back to post properly after the torture of tomorrow mornings testing! Xx

good luck muffins - I used a digital one and it was spot on in terms of how long since conception etc

Hello and congratulations to mumtopiglet and backwardsinhighheels

muffins when was your AF due? I found that the digital was the last one to go positive compared to FR and the clear blue plus sign one. Only telling you that so you don't think it's really significant if it wasn't positive yet tomorrow!

Congrats to everyone! Penelope how is your weekend going? Hope its not sending you too crazy!!! Roll on Mon. Did another test today and got a proper line after about 10th sec so guess it really is happening! So excited.

Keep over analysing every little stomach cramp though... thought I would be more relaxed this time.
Good luck tomorrow muffins looking forward to hearing :)

Thanks for the good wishes guys :)

because I am a POWs addict I couldn't wait til morning and did a fr this evening one that isn't meant for use until af due and it came positive straight away not at all faint. Wonder if the couple of asda ones I have used aren't so good perhaps?
arabella I'm almost ashamed to say af isn't even due til Tuesday ........and we thought u were neurotic when did you get positive on the digital?
Muffins x

poas obviously not prisoners of war

Hi muffins, yes hide your head in shame!!!

I got my positive on digital yesterday am (day before AF due). Although I think that because I ovulated later this month it's likely I was going to have a longer cycle than usual. Anyway it was 10 or 11 DPO when I used that test, that may be more useful info.

I'll feel more confident when another week has passed I think

Had to decline dinner/drinks invite for tonite, was a little awkward as neither of us could think of a reason off the cuff. But I don't want to tell anyone just yet and I knew they'd guess when I didn't have a drink!

I'm now lounging in bed again with books and iPad. I really suspected I was pregnant 3 days post ovulation as I remembered the tiredness from first pregnancy! But then I wondered if it was me being suggestible because we'd just started TTC, it was amazing how much time I spent pondering "am I pregnant?" in the last 2 weeks! Wish I could drink lots of caffeine for this tiredness

Ok I just did the digital too.....it says I'm pregnant

Yay muffins great news! Digital one gave me a negative until after af was due last time.

Arabella enjoy your reading :)

Woohoo for muffins!!!

Thanks new mummy

Hi ladies can I tentativly join this thread. I had a surprise BFP this morning, (I am bf, irregualar periods and diaphram). We have discussed and we wanted another so are treating as a happy surprise, however I am a little shocked and I cant seem to get my head around it I cant tell anyone so though coming on here might help it to sink in.

The problem is I am unsure of dates, I tested last week and a very feint (under bright light if stared at hard) line appeared but dissapeared, this morning I got BPF, so can I temporary join this thread until I get my dates please I dont feel very far gone as I am not feeling as ill as I do after 6 weeks So probably early Oct or late september.

Thanks for the congrats, same to you all! I still haven't got used to it as expected it to take longer this time with being a few years older. Husband very pleased with himself!! (and excited generally, more so than last time as we weren't really ready). Will feel more confident as the days go on and I have an early scan next Monday which will be reassuring.

On the tests, the one that went positive first was a Boots early testing one. The digital said not pregnant which was depressing but does seems morning testing works better. I remember from first time the line was so faint I called the helpline. They just say if there is any dye mark in the box at all you are pg. No more peering at white sticks. Have a good Sunday!

Hi
Can i join you please, very cautiously....

This will be technically DC4 for us ,have DS1 (aged 6) and DS2 (aged 4).

We lost DC3 at 20 weeks gestation in October.

Af due on Tuesday but I POAS on Friday as I had been feeling nauseous for 2 days - and got very faint BFP. Have sinced POAS 4 more times and have had one BFN and 3 faint BFP's - why is it so addictive?

I am pretty scared at the moment - bearing in mind what happened last time, we are still waiting to hear back from Consultant regarding tests and post mortem results (have now been waiting 13 weeks - but am taking one day at a time.

Approx EDD should be 5th Oct.

Looking forward to getting to know all you x

all of you that should say

Hello and welcome to crawling

iloveblue, very sorry to hear what happened. That's just awful. You must have been through a horrendous, unthinkable time and I'm wishing you much good luck for this pregnancy.

Hello,

So I ahd a positive test on Tuesday. My first ever!!! I have no idea how pregnant I am as I only had my implant out on 27th December. DH and I are over joyed but extremely overwhelmed. Am so scared that something bad is going to happen - am completely obsessed with every cramp, moment that i dont feel sick, etc.

Congratulations to you all.

Congratulations Alex, I'm quite reassured that all of us seem to be scared and over analysing every feeling we get. I wanted to tell my mum today, but couldn't do it just yet. I want to be a little more sure that things are going ok.
