[megB74]

WooHoo Kaz!

...anyone would think my DH is trying to corrupt me, he's just walked in the door with 3pk HPTs. (now I have to look at these till Wednesday)

[PreggySiren]

:laughing: meg! It's nice when they are as excited about TTC as us! My hubby is much the same. Make him hide them somewhere you'll never look (like underneath the whipper snipper! :laughing:)

Best of luck for Wednesday :fingerscrossed:

[sparkle5301]

Wow KAZ - what a great threadmaster you are.... Thanks for starting a new November thread. Here is plenty of baby dust for you :babydust2::babydust2: :babydust2: You deserve it. Hope everyone gets their BFP this month.

[sparkle5301]

WooHoo Kaz!

...anyone would think my DH is trying to corrupt me, he's just walked in the door with 3pk HPTs. (now I have to look at these till Wednesday)
Good luck with waiting till Wednesday! Hope you get your BFP - your final encore is waiting :p

[NatalieG]

I'm new here and this will be our first month of TTC #2. I will be completely amazed if we land it first time, but you gotta be in it to win it!

Good luck everyone... :goodvibes:

[truckette]

Congrats to Tinkabell and Emz on your BFP :yelclap:

Good luck everyone... :goodvibes:

Welcome NatalieG! Best of luck to you :babydust2:

[Lachysmama]

Hello Ladies!
My name is Alison, I've been a bubhub stalker for some time now but don't often post as firstly I can't figure out how to start a thread (sad I know- even though I've read the 'how to'!) and secondly I've been super busy with DS & work so haven't found much time.
However! I have just got a laptop which is super exciting so I can sit in bed (whenever that happens!!) and type yay!:yelclap:
I hope this is the right place to post- please tell me if there is somewhere else I should be :confused:
I have brought up the courage to TTC #2 & I am really excited as DS was a lovely surprise so have never TTC before!

Look forward to hearing about how you are all going with your journeys

Thanks for having me :)

[Kristy111]

Can i please be added to Nov 14th, Thanks :)

[XavysMummy]

Can i please be added to Nov 14th, Thanks :)

You're already there love!!!:D

Lachysmama I see that you have found the TTC#2 thread aswell...that would be a great thread to hang out in, this one is for this month only, we're all sharing the testing journey for November, let us know when you're due for your AF (period) and we'll put you in the list on the first
page of this thread. Good luck!!!

[XavysMummy]

I'm new here and this will be our first month of TTC #2. I will be completely amazed if we land it first time, but you gotta be in it to win it!

[Electric Rodeo]

:smiliedance:for the new threadmaster and congrats Emz:yelclap: have a great 9 months.

7 days till testing for me, though I'll probably cave beforehand and do one:p

:fingerscrossed:It's looking very pink so far ladies

[flis]

So excited there are three PINKIES already!!! Congrats girls and best of luck.

C'mon girls we need a heap more pinkies this month - it feels lucky. I have butterflies just thinking about it!

:babydust2::babydust2::babydust2: for everyone!

I think i am going to cave and test Wednesday before my naturopath appt.. early i know (will be 10dpo) but the wait is just way too long.

love flis xxxxxxxx:fingerscrossed:

[XavysMummy]

:fingerscrossed: everyone who's testing in the next few days.... I've removed myself from the 5th as I POAS this morning and got a :bfn: and Fertility Friend is now saying I havent O'd due to my temps AND I'm having bad cramps on and off today so I dont know whether...
a. I O'd CD 12 and I'm getting AF
b. I O'd CD12 and I'm UTD
c. I'm O'ing today and that's the cramps
d. I havent O'd cos my body is f@#ked..

Sorry ladies, I'm on a downer today...

[babeone]

:hugs: Kaz- hopefully option b is the reason!! Its horrible when ur body decides to play games with you. Try and stay positive- easier said then done i know. x

Congrats Emz- heres to a sticky 9 months.

11dpo today- this tww has gone/ is going so slow!! 99% sure Af will arrive- not got any real symptoms and my (.)(.) arent as sore as they have been. Tested 8 dpo (stupid i know) of course :bfn: but it has really made me believe this is not our month.

[XavysMummy]

:hugs: Kaz- hopefully option b is the reason!! Its horrible when ur body decides to play games with you. Try and stay positive- easier said then done i know. x


Thanks babeone.
I'm having an op on 3rd Dec, so I think I'll go back on Clomid after that.

[iMischa]

[Bexsi]

Thanks

[megB74]

Sorry ladies, I'm on a downer today...


???worth going and getting bloods just to be sure???

[chel070580]

Af is not due til the 8th but unfortunately I think she is on the way and no BFP for me this month.

I get these really light pains when I pee - just when you do that light push (sorry if TMI) and since the D & C i always get that during the week before AF is due.

OH I hope she doesn't come.

[XavysMummy]

MegB74- I'd rather wait than have bloods cos I'm not due quite yet if I did O CD12. I'm now feeling :barf:.
Talk about filling me with false hope!

Bexsi-I've updated you lovey

flis, preggysiren,mischa, babeone- thanks for your support, its much appreciated.

[Katieflutterby]

Sorry to butt in here girls, but I just want to give Kazc some :hugs: :hugs: :hugs:

I know how frustrating it can be when you have no idea what your body is doing, I found that to be the worst bit. I hope you get some answers soon, be it a BFP or even an O date, that in itself is so exciting when you have irregular cycles. Sending you so many hugs :hugs: :hugs: P.S. before I got my BFP I got some pretty bad AF type cramps and I was certain AF was coming. So please dont count yourself out yet. Sending so many baby vibes your way. xoxoxoxoxox

[flis]

is anyone else seriously struggling to work??

I am getting addicted to this site and keep checking constantly!! i feel like it is getting me through my 2ww... but i am feeling like this isnt really that healthy lol!

Hey Kazc, i feel your pain,ff changed my chart to say i had o`d but i had!!!:hair: i got so annoyed that now i have stopped temping and just go by my maybe baby and OPK`s as i was just getting to stressed out wondering why ff kept changing my o date. Although FF is a great site and i have learnt alot from it, i HATE when i changes my chart when i know i have o`d. :hugs: so i dont blame you for being on a downer, it happen to me last month!!!

[KiahsMum]

Kazc - Keeping everything crossed it is option 2!!!! Really hope this is your month!

[XavysMummy]

Katie- thanks for poking your head in, I appreciate it
Maybe1More-thanks for that, DH says FF is full of sh!t and I shouldnt pay attention to it, but its hard when I have so little to cling to in really knowing what is going on with my cycles. I got so excited when FF told me I O'd on CD12 as I usually have a 40 odd day cycle. The waiting game just sux!
flis- I'm with you on not being able to work, look how much I've posted today....and I'm at work :o
Kiahsmum- thank you, I hope this month is it for you too
Bub Hub Rocks!!! I'm so glad I found this site...I've 'met' so many wonderful ladies thru it.:bee:

[mrskb]

Hey everybody! So many BFP's already!!!
I've got a couple of days until testing, but haven't had much change in regards to symptoms. Sore chest for the last week, and I have been sleeping alot lately, but that could be due to the gastro last week. I've just started to get slight cramping as well... but i'll keep my fingers crossed!! Good luck to everybody!!

[Electric Rodeo]

is anyone else seriously struggling to work??

If it's not healthy to be on so often then i'm VERY unhealthy too:laughing:
It does pass the time.
How long till u test Flis?:goodvibes:

AF not due till sun/Mon/Tues next week but i will test this wednesday (will be 10dpo). i am actually feeling really excited this month. dont have any symptoms (boobs less sore than last month, nothing else i can think of and i am trying really hard to 'find' things though my temp has been really high since o) but i just feel excited. and strangely i think i will be ok if it is negative this month. i just get the feeling bub is on its way soon and am trying not to stress.

though, speak to me again in a few days! lol i will prob be back to the raving crying lunatic i was last month.

how about yourself mitake?

I think we must be about the same. On the 8th (saturday) I will be cd28. Cycle is not exact every month and has ranged from 14 days to 42 days in the past 5 months. (some cervical surgery may have had something to do with that;))
Had two +ve OPK's a week apart(CD 12 and 19) so no idea what is going on here. Have sore BB's and aversion to smells but think my body is trying to trick me. Don't want to get my hopes up yet.

I know I will cave and test before saturday but I never got BFP's with either boys till after 5 weeks so *shrugs* no idea:p

Not long till we know now, have you been trying long?

[PreggySiren]

Hey Kazc, chin up honey. Remember FF is just a computer program that coldly calculates your O date by processing numbers and meeting specific criteria. No computer program will ever be able to tell you your O date better than yourself. Keep an eye on your chart because clever little *YOU* can take a lot more into account than a program. See FF as a bit of extra technical help... :geek:

Mrskb, can't wait to see how you go with your testing - GOOD LUCK & lots of :babydust2:

Flis, you have a great attitude - I hope it pays off for you this month! :fingerscrossed:

Good luck to you also, Mitake. Your up-and-down cycles must be so frustrating. :goodvibes: for you!

Looking forward to seeing lots more :bfp:'s for the Novemberers!

[Electric Rodeo]

Thanks PreggySiren, all the best for you too.:babydust2:

Love the quote in your sig btw, so funny!

[SomewhereOverTheRainbow]

:fingerscrossed: everyone who's testing in the next few days.... I've removed myself from the 5th as I POAS this morning and got a :bfn: and Fertility Friend is now saying I havent O'd due to my temps AND I'm having bad cramps on and off today so I dont know whether...

b. I O'd CD12 and I'm UTD
c. I'm O'ing today and that's the cramps
d. I havent O'd cos my body is f@#ked..

Sorry ladies, I'm on a downer today...


:hugs: Kazc. Sorry to hear that honey. I did read somewhere that temp rises can occur up to 3-4 days after O and I definitely think I'm one of those people, last month FF screwed me over too!!
I'm not due for AF for about 11 days but I'm fairly certain you can turn me blue already as I O'd Friday or Saturday and only BD'd once on Thursday. So can't even blame FF this month, just my own laziness...:o

[fox_girl]

Hi,

this is my first month of TTC since having mirena removed on 27th October. So not sure how i am going to go.

I will be due around 25th November. So put me down for that date please.

Have found out the dates i will be o'ing (sunday 9th Nov) and i plan to BD thurs, fri, sat, sun, mon and tuesday. Dont want to miss it.

Will DD i didnt have to try i just feel pregnant. So fingers crossed it just happens. I'd love a winter baby.

[ringneck]

Kaz :hugs: i know how you feel my body does it all the time. By the way i know you love me and all ;) but i really dont need to be on the list twice lol just the 27th would be great. Thanks for being thread master again :goodvibes:

[NatalieG]

Welcome NatalieG, what date are you testing?

I'm going to be testing on November 25th. This month, it's just a guess. I've been on and off BCP's for a long time and that makes it hard to know for sure what my natural cycle does.

I'm sorry that you're having these problems... the body can be such an amazing - but also frustrating - piece of equipment, eh? Maybe all is not lost this month?

[NatalieG]

Hi,

this is my first month of TTC since having mirena removed on 27th October. So not sure how i am going to go.

I will be due around 25th November. So put me down for that date please.

Have found out the dates i will be o'ing (sunday 9th Nov) and i plan to BD thurs, fri, sat, sun, mon and tuesday. Dont want to miss it.

Will DD i didnt have to try i just feel pregnant. So fingers crossed it just happens. I'd love a winter baby.

So we might test on the same day?? Good luck! According to what I know about my cycle, I will O on the 11th.

I feel so many different emotions about TTC. Nervous, excited, anxious, OMG!!! We are actually doing this???? It's taken me a long time to be able to feel at peace and excited about another baby, and to finally be experiencing these positive emotions is bloody fantastic :)

[fox_girl]

NatalieG - Yay we can be testing buddies. I am not 100% sure that is my day.
But my last AF was on the 4th October, then i got my latest one on 30th October. And i am very regular, i am about a 26 - 28day cycle. So i am either the 25th or 27th November. But i will stick with the 25th November.

I know what you mean about the emotions. I try not to think of it as if we are TTC and just go with the flow, but secretly i am thinking please please please!!! Last night DBF finally warmed to the fact about having a baby. He just stresses about the money situation, i have reassured him many times we will manage, We can afford it otherwise we wouldnt be TTC.

:fingerscrossed: and lots of :babydust2::babydust2::babydust2: to us all.

[NatalieG]

Oh the money issue.... wow. This is my main stress in life haha. I worry about it as well but when I feel myself getting out of hand and worked up, I have to make myself stop, take a deep breath and chill! As you said - we. will. manage. People do all the time. There are ways and means of making it work. And honestly if we sat around waiting for the "perfect" time to TTC, maybe it will never come. Is there any such thing as the mythical "perfect" time anyway? We want another baby and we will make it work. Yes it might be hard at times ($$ wise) but we will live! I don't want to have regrets in 10 years time and look back and think "We didn't have another baby because I was worried about a few dollars".

Anyway sorry, I am rambling! Not sure if any of that makes sense.

You and I both share the fact we've just come off some form of BC and this is our first month TTC.... so we're feeling our way a bit!

[fox_girl]

You and I both share the fact we've just come off some form of BC and this is our first month TTC.... so we're feeling our way a bit!

I agree with the $$ 100%.
It is scary to think about, but we make it work, plus i can always go back to work part time, had to with DD so i am not worried about that if i had to.

Hopefully we both get BFP's this month so we dont have to wait and wait.

What BC were you using Natalie?

[NatalieG]

I was using Yaz, one of the newer BCP's. (I saw somewhere you were using Mirena?) BCP's are not my friend:laughing: I have been on so many of them over the years and they all have horrible side effects. For a while before Yaz, we were just using condoms because I was sick of putting psycho-inducing hormones into my body :laughing: So that is really the only recent info I have about my natural cycles and they seemed to be pretty regular 28-day ones. So this is what I am assuming my body will go back to. Perhaps it may take a cycle of two though :confused:

I went back to work full-time after the birth of DD and found it incredibly hard. I am a primary school teacher. I'm not sure if I would go back full time again after #2. Perhaps 3 days a week. It would probably work out similar in costs anyway by the time you factor day care into the equation.

[fox_girl]

Yeah, i had mirena in for 2.5 years. Best thing ever to have it removed.

I am lucky in that i have my mum to watch DD or if bubs comes along and i have to go back to work she can watch it. She did with DD. Plus she lives close to where DD will be going to school, so i dont have to worry about extra travel costs or child care, as i will have to go that way anyway.
My boss might even let me work from home???

[Lachysmama]

You're already there love!!!:D

Lachysmama I see that you have found the TTC#2 thread aswell...that would be a great thread to hang out in, this one is for this month only, we're all sharing the testing journey for November, let us know when you're due for your AF (period) and we'll put you in the list on the first
page of this thread. Good luck!!!

Ah, sorry!! I'm not very good at this :confused:
OK well I'm due for AF 14th Nov.
Thanks for your help :)

[XavysMummy]

Kazc. Sorry to hear that honey. I did read somewhere that temp rises can occur up to 3-4 days after O and I definitely think I'm one of those people, last month FF screwed me over too!!

Yes, you've found me out Alana....I DO love you:D Has your chicken hatched those eggs?


Ah, sorry!! I'm not very good at this :confused:

Thanks for your help :)

I've locked you in....good luck:babydust2:

Not long till we know now, have you been trying long?

went off the pill after 10 years in april, did pre conception care at naturopath and then started trying in july - and since i was being soooo diligent and healthy etc i was meant to fall pregnant IMMEDIATELY! lol... my cycle is improving and getting shorter every cycle - which i think i put down to the acupuncture i have been having. hopefully i will fall preg soon. my hubby and i have been putting off having babies for so long but something comes up every time - we have been saving for years and years. we are actually go o/seas with our baby money in december/january so hopefully that will be just what i need to fall preg (or with a bit of luck i will already be UTD).

I think trying for #1 sucks enough but it must totally suck trying for #2 or #3 when you know you can already do it!

I just wish there was a gap between 'not really ready' to 'I WANT A BABY RIGHT NOW'

chat soon girls

[Rachie78]

Hello girls, I'm ttc bub #1 and am currently in the two week wait. AF is due on november 10th. I'm not going to test until then. good luck to all, fingers and toes :fingerscrossed: for lots of BFPs this month!

[flis]

Flis, you have a great attitude - I hope it pays off for you this month! :fingerscrossed:



Thanks PreggySiren - I am all positive and relaxed until AF is due and then i fall apart. though i feel a bit different this month - bit calmer. Still no symptoms so am thinking it will be a negative month for me but my goal this month was to O earlier than last month and i did that so i should really be pleased (day 17 vs day 20 last month). :yelclap: hopefully i can O earlier again this month - i read somewhere you have like over 90% chance to conceive if you O on day 14 or earlier - so bring it on!

i would love it if we could book bubs in. I dont mind the wait if i knew when it would end. if you could say 'right you will fall pregnant in february' i would be ok with that and at least you could enjoy life until then without your 'conception goggles' on!

anyway, i am blabbering :ecomcity::ecomcity::ecomcity:

[Boscosmum]

Kazc & Nic - sending you both :hugs::hugs: it aint over for the month yet...just wait for the witch but :fingerscrossed: she has gone for a long time.

[PreggySiren]

This is my 1st month seeing when (and if!) I ovulate. I have a long cycle (was 35 days before the pill and now about 38) which makes it hard to figure out where I should be Oing. But I think it's just around the corner at the moment. Nxt month I may just venture into OPKs :yes:

If I don't get a :bfp: first of course! :fingerscrossed:

[sparkle5301]

Lots and lots of :hugs:for you Kaz. I hope you are feeling a little better today? It's horrible when you get those down days, and you can't even go have a glass of wine!
Colour me blue. I am only on 11DPO, and AF has arrived. I am worried my luteal phase was so short. I am a healthy person, who exercises regularly, and I eat all the right foods - why is this happening??
Rant over, sorry :crying:

I think whatever number your trying for is tough.:yes: So many emotions. I fell PG with both boys in the first month and now I'm scared that things won't 'work' like that anymore following my op. I guess I'll soon see:p

Hi rachie78 we will be testing on the same day:goodvibes:

Hope your feeling better today Kaz:hugs:

AF isn;t due for about 10 days anyway and FF has now calculted my O date to be friday last week and I did BD on Thursday night so maybe I'm still in with a chance. Not getting too excited though as trying to take it easy and so far so good!!




Lots and lots of for you Kaz. I hope you are feeling a little better today? It's horrible when you get those down days, and you can't even go have a glass of wine!
Colour me blue. I am only on 11DPO, and AF has arrived. I am worried my luteal phase was so short. I am a healthy person, who exercises regularly, and I eat all the right foods - why is this happening??
Rant over, sorry

Sorry to hear that sparkle. :hugs: I'm sure December will be a lucky month for you and you'll have that nice Xmas BFP. I'm not sure what you can do to lengthen your LP. I know there are a few girls here with the same problem though, so maybe you should post a thread about it and see what replies you get. :hugs:

[ringneck]

Kaz lol um no they haven't hatched yet, am thinking maybe they aren't fertile but if they aren't and the chicken sits for so long they go rotten and the chicken will hop off so we we leave it a bit longer and if nothing turf her and wait till she is ready to nest again and get some gauranteed fertile eggs. How are your chickens?

[Rachie78]

flis - you're so right - there's precious little middle ground between "not really interested in becoming pregnant at this point" to raging "I want a baby YESTERDAY! Not next month or next year but NOW" stage!

[truckette]

is anyone else seriously struggling to work??

I am getting addicted to this site and keep checking constantly!! i feel like it is getting me through my 2ww... but i am feeling like this isnt really that healthy lol!

flis


I'm not working but I do find myself on this bloody computer most of the day and checking this site at least 3 times per day. I need to get a life. :laughing:

[Witchypoo]

Lots and lots of :hugs:for you Kaz. I hope you are feeling a little better today? It's horrible when you get those down days, and you can't even go have a glass of wine!

Rant over, sorry :crying:

Hey Sparkle!

How long is your luteal phase? You could try taking Vitamin B6 to lengthen it. It has helped a lot of ladies on here. It helped me go from Ovulating on CD19 to CD17 within 2 months of starting it but unfortunately I've had to stop taking it cos it disagreed with my body and made me sick. :(

No one else I've spoken to seems to have had any trouble with it though - just me!! I know that it is the B6 making me sick cos I've tried going off it and I get better and then going back on it and I get sick again. Anyway...try it cos I appear to be the only person in the universe who can't take it! You could also try Vitex as that has also helped a lot of women lengthen their luteal phases.

[truckette]

Hey kaz, try walking on your hands and hopefully gravity will take hold and keep that egg in. :laughing: The months not out yet. Keeping my :fingerscrossed: for you.

[kimmyp]

CONGRATS to everyone who has already got their :bfp: for Nov we are off to a good start.

Also a big THANK YOU to Kazc for keeping our list up to date you are doing a wonderful job.

Good Luck ladies lets make Nov a record month for BFP.

[JimJamsMum]

Hi Ladies, firstly :yelclap: to our newly-utd people. Well done to you. And :hugs: for those who've had "the visit" or whose bodies aren't doing what they're supposed to.

Update on me: I'm feeling pretty darned good about the world. It is CD12 and my CM is slippery, clear, stretchy and generally fertile. Yay!! I think the B6 and vitex is doing its job and maybe just maybe this cycle might actually be normal. :fingerscrossed: I O in the next day or so.

I'll be putting DH on notice this afternoon :D

[XavysMummy]

Lots and lots of for you Kaz. I hope you are feeling a little better today? It's horrible when you get those down days, and you can't even go have a glass of wine!

Thanks Sparkle, one can only hope....I guess I'm just sick of WAITING....as you can see from my ticker we've been trying to conceive #1 for over 2yrs and I never thought it would take this long to become a mummy, I thought I'd be TTC#2 by now. I'm sorry AF arrived for you....I wish you lots of luck next month:babydust2:


Hello girls, I'm ttc bub #1 and am currently in the two week wait. AF is due on november 10th. I'm not going to test until then. good luck to all, fingers and toes for lots of BFPs this month!

I'll add you in Rachie78, good luck!


Kaz lol um no they haven't hatched yet, am thinking maybe they aren't fertile but if they aren't and the chicken sits for so long they go rotten and the chicken will hop off so we we leave it a bit longer and if nothing turf her and wait till she is ready to nest again and get some gauranteed fertile eggs. How are your chickens?

LOL perhaps they are dodgey eggs mate! I hope you didnt pay much for those "fertile" eggs... My chickens are great, still not laying yet, my original girls are 14wks and my pekin girls are 12wks...still playing the waiting game with them too!!! LOL


Hey kaz, try walking on your hands and hopefully gravity will take hold and keep that egg in. The months not out yet. Keeping my for you.

Truckette...you crack me up....thanks for the laugh:laughing:


Also a big THANK YOU to Kazc for keeping our list up to date you are doing a wonderful job.
Thanks Kimmy :hugs:Its nice to be appreciated lol

and to JJM's DH......LOOK OUT!!!!!


To everyone else, today is a new day and I am feeling a bit better about the world.... another day without AF is another day closer to my BFP:flowerz:

[flis]

seriously setting myself up for disappointment today - i just tried eating my salad wrap and feel like i am gagging. in turn i am getting myself all excited that there is a bumpy reason for this... now i am getting all 'emo' about it cause it probably isnt bumpy at all...

this journey totally sux. why cant it be easy.

sorry girls, my turn for a breakdown this arvo..

F

[PreggySiren]

Aw flis :hugs:

You need to go home this evening, listen to some uplifting music and make yourself a special non-alcohol cocktail...

Any juice of your choice (I choose cranberry & orange), big squeeze of lime, ginger ale over the top and a mint leaf on top. Make sure you put it in your very best glass :flowerz:

Putting it all together will distract you for a moment and it's like having a real cocktail when you're not supposed to!

It's all good honey, we all feel this way sometimes (or a lot whilst TTC!) :hugs: :hugs: :hugs:

[Craftymum]

:wave: Hi ladies, just catching up after being away for the past 4 days relaxing!
Hugs to those who have received BFN’s or AF :hugs:
Emz & Tinkabell – Congratulations on your BFP! Here’s to a very sticky 9 months for you! :smiliedance:
Kaz – You champion you :D! Good on you for being threadmaster again. Sorry to hear FF is changing your O timelines… fingers crossed you have o’d and that what your feeling is a sticky bubba. Hugs, you know where I am if you wanna chat. Don’t take any notice of FF! :hugs:


WooHoo Kaz!

...anyone would think my DH is trying to corrupt me, he's just walked in the door with 3pk HPTs. (now I have to look at these till Wednesday)
LOL - nice to see you are all stocked up for the big day! Had a peek at your chart and its lookin good! :D

[maybe1more]

Hi ladies :wave: can i please be changed from "unsure" to testing on the 21st of novermber let hope FF got something right this month :rolleyes:

...and how was the weekend away testing buddy?

[Craftymum]

Meg - Yeah good. Except for the fact my 19mth old wanted to do everything the other 6 kids were doing which meant hard work for me and DH watching her! Found a new addiction too - Singstar! :laughing:

[Bexsi]

Looooooove singstar - very addictive :) Im sure neighbours hate me for it :)

Oooohhh I used to be an addict too....I have most of the singstar games if you wanna come over for a session!!!

[Lachysmama]

So I have a question...
How do you all stop yourselves from testing too early? It is so tempting to pee on a stick just in case there might be a line!
A friend of mine bought a bulk pack & went through the whole lot even before AF was due & think I'd probably be the same- I'm a bit impatient & the wait will be so hard I just know it!
What are the tricks of the trade to not test, as DS was a lovely surprise, I was 6 weeks before I tested so there wasn't the anticipation, but this time I know it'll be hard!

[iMischa]

sometimes not knowing is easier than seeing a negative early. it makes the last few days b4 af upsetting and stressful which can infact make ur AF late...and then u've got ur first symptom therefore getting ur hopes higher. thats what stopped me testing very early, because that had happen to me a few times, it made the final blow of af arriving even worse.

having said that i got my bfp at 10dpo but i only have a 12 day luteal phase so thats the equivelent to peoples 12dpo!

goodluck

[logiesmummy]

ok i'm asking you to put me down for a lucky day! Um lets say the 16th of Nov please KAZ. I had a pregnyl shot on cd 14 which was the 31st! SO fingers crossed i won't have to go much further!

[ringneck]

Kaz thankfully i din't pay for them a neighbour gave them to me but she didn't check so if these aren't fertile which i'm thinking she will give us the ones she is monitoring with her rooster. Our chicken that isn't nesting is a champ with the egg laying.
Good luck tomorrow meg and crafty :fingerscrossed:

I haven't had much experience with testing, but I was patient last month and waited till AF was due. The things that stop me doing it are...

If I get a neggy, I would wonder "Did I test too early?" "When should I test again?" "Why can't AF hurry up and arrive then!! :crying:" And would probably waste a lot of HPTs in the process :rolleyes:

If I got a +, I would be concerned it might turn out to be a chem preg and wouldn't be game enough to celebrate anyway!

I do admit it is uber difficult to hold off though!

Good luck for tmw morning crafty, ky & meg! Lots of :babydust2::wizard: for you gals!

DP is the reason I dont test early... he says why waste money on tests when it could be too early? Not only a waste of money, but stress too! So if I am thinking about testing, I just have to mention it to him and he says...wait til saturday!

[Mummy2Noah]

[fox_girl]

I am starting to get impatient. I dont want to wait till the 25th to test. I keep seeing everyone else's dates coming sooner. I hate the waiting game.
Just got a lot of BD'ing to do from now till then... Mines still 3 weeks away.... ahhhh

No doubt i will test early, i am way too impatient.

[hoping4another]

[Craftymum]

Good morning,

Its blue for me this month, didnt get to test as AF arrived this morning. Atleast she was on time :).

[megB74]

Good morning,

Its blue for me this month, didnt get to test as AF arrived this morning. Atleast she was on time :).

I haven't been brave enough to test either - am really over seeing BFNs, temp dipped 0.2oC this morning... the result is usually pretty predictable from here.

[sparkle5301]

:hugs: crafty! So sorry you got a dreadful visitor this morning.
:hugs: Meg. Will cross my fingers for you anyway.
Don't we all have a long wait until December testing??

[SomewhereOverTheRainbow]

Crafty and Meg...:hugs: I'm so sorry to hear that guys. Sending you both lots and lots of :hugs: and hope you guys are eating loads of chocolate today. :)

[flis]

Hi Girls

I tested this morning (10DPO) and got a :bfn:. Not terribly surprised, though would have loved a different result.

Still kinda early so I won't turn blue yet (denial..), but although my temps are still really high deep down i know this isn't my month.

Will confirm definite answer next week.

Hi everyone,

Im new to this thread. Im sorry to hear about your -tive's, i wish you all the best in the next cycle. :fingerscrossed:'s for you ladies. :)

I have been on a 42 day cycle since May, But i only just had my 2nd m/c 2 weeks ago and i think i might be ovulating as we speak...don't worry we have been BDing all week and DH is in for a nice surprise tonight. hehe. Usually i made sure we BDed on the two week mark just incase my cycles did go back to my normal 28 day cycle and we also would have done so in another 2 weeks if i was still on my 6 week cycle. (42 days) Before i was on the pill i was 28 days on the dot so maybe im going back to my normal cycles?? I have been paying attention to my CM and its fertile from what i can see. So ill do the dance and do a test in a week or so and hope for some :bfp:!!

I wish you ladies all the best!

take care

Thanks for the thoughts girls but am now blue Kaz...

Sorry its not your month Meg.....its quite scary how in sync you and Crafty are...
:yes: our bod's seem to be holding out to get that twin bfp - we will get there in the end :laughing::yes:

Strangefruit - Goodluck for your BT tomorrow! Do you mind me asking whether you did IUI or IVF? :) I have my first appointment next week to discuss where to from here with my local IVF place...

[StrangeFruit]

Thanks for the well wishes everyone :flowerz:

Craftymum, it is never a problem to ask me anything, these forums are here so we can learn off each other! I did IVF/ICSI. Not sure how much you know about IVF? But if not much, ICSI is where they actually inject the spem into the egg to fertilise it. This is because my DH's sperm is not strong enough to get themselves into the egg.

You must be excited about your appointment. I personally found it a big relief to finally be on the IVF path. Finally it felt like there was going to be some control in my TTC, but everyone finds the experience different.

Well heres hoping for pink tomorrow!!!

Dropping off some more good luck and :goodvibes::goodvibes::goodvibes: for everyone testing tomorrow.

I haven't even ovulated this month yet, so testing is still a way off! I will 'live vicariously' through those who can test for now :)

[flis]

[StrangeFruit]

Thank you so much for the well wishes everybody! It hasnt sunk in yet. I think i need to get past that magical 12 week mark and start getting a baby bump before i believe it. Just all seems too good to be true.......

Babeone - How come custard is a no go? I hadn't heard that before. I would have thought it would be fine?? All my favourite foods are on the 'no eat' list!!! I'mm be a skinny minny by the end of this :laughing: My due date is 14th July - only 2 days difference.

[flis]

Cannot believe how many pinkies we have - and so early in the month - yay girls:yelclap:

I am going away for a few days - hopefully it will take my mind of the fact i had a :bfn: but am not really due AF till Monday'ish. Ihave been feeling bloated and funny in the tummy for a few days but really feel like next month is my month.

have a great weekend girls and hopefully there are a few more pinkies when i check again on monday.

:hugs: to all - flis

[mrsmov]

I'm 3DPO (according to fertility friend & also had O pains too that co-incide with these dates.
Tonight I have cramping - feels like period pain & back pain :fingerscrossed: I've been googling away & it's a common very early pregnant sign (well I'm saying 10% is common:laughing:)
:babydust2: oh please God!!!! :fingerscrossed:

[fox_girl]

Congratulations to Strangefruit and Babeone.
Enjoy being pregnant, its the best thing in the world. (except the BD'ing & seeing the baby)...

Lets hope for more PINKS this month.
Good luck to anyone else to test today and good luck for those testing tomorrow.

WOO HOO GIRLS!!!!!:smiliedance: CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Good to see some pink making its way into the thread, now keep it up!!!!

I'm 6DPO Mrsmov, and having some weird niggly pain that feels like its on one side or the other. But I was TRYING not to analyse it until I read that you were analysing yours...lol...
I also hurt a muscle in my back practicing last night :rolleyes:

[hoping4another]

Hi All,

BIG CONGRAT'S TO BABEONE & STRANGEFRUIT.

enjoy the next 8 months....

Nic 236- I als0 got pains in my side at about 6 DPO and sore lower back, very weird.
I now have been feeling :barf: on and off for a few days so who know's.

Mitake- When are you testing. I am planning to test tomorrow when i get my test's...

:fingerscrossed: are crossed for everyone who haven't tested yet.

Wendy

[fox_girl]

Ladies,

I am starting to get really confused trying to make sure i get my ovulation days right and when i am most fertile to conceive etc.

One ovulation calculator says from 6th Nov till 11th November with 9th being the day of Ovulation. Another one says 9th Nov till 13th Nov with 11th being the day of O. Another says 8th nov till 13th but didnt give a date for O.

I am so confused. I just plan on bd'ing all these dates... why not???

[JimJamsMum]

Congrats to our latest pinkies: babeone and strangefruit. Way to go girls!! All the best for the next 8 months.

Kaz, better put me down the bottom in the "I've got no idea when my body will get itself together" section. Even though I had lots of fertile cm I've been a bit suspicious because my cervix didn't soften. Anyway, I haven't ovulated so I don't know what's going on. It's not really a big deal because DH has been sick for the last few days so it would have been a waste of an egg anyway :laughing:

[iMischa]

mum of lj i found those calculators to not be very accurate for me personally. it told me everything was all over with and then a couple of days after it said i had ov..i got a positive opk. if i had of gone just by the calculator we would have missed the boat.

nic *fingers crossed* goood luckkkk!!! niggly pains are a goood sign!! :D woo

[sparkle5301]

:yelclap:WOW STRANGEFRUIT! CONGRATULATIONS. Good luck for a happy, healthy pregnancy:flowerz:

Thanks for that advise. I have no idea with the whole TTC, with DD it was a great surprise so never had to try.
I think i will just BD every day or every second day and i hope we get it right.

What are the signs i should be looking out for building up to days before Ov??

[Dot]

congrates on the new BFP ... I am so excited for you both ... :yelclap:

Im not feeling to positive anymore this month starting to get niggels ... but wait and see how we go ...:fingerscrossed:

[kitty galore]

YAY! Congrats to Strangefruit & Babeone! How lovely for you ladies!:yelclap:
All the best for the coming months!


KazC, I will prob be a :no: this month - some hell wicked cramps, and I am in a terrible :hissy:
so I imagine it is the horrible witch preparing to visit..but I will confirm her much unwelcomed arrival fairly soon..

for me i had some pulled muscle feelings on one side of my pelvis but other than that my body is very unpredictable, but woman swear by observing cervical mucus, apparently its meant to look like egg whites when ur most fertile!! i didnt really get that to be honest tho.

if u and hubby r upto it u can do it everyday that week that ur calenders are telling u. start on the earliest day any of them say and keep going to the latest day. but if ur hubby is like my hubby and ends up feeling pessured by too much of it lol go with every second day :) good luck i hope u catch the eggy.

Wendy

I'll be testing tomorrow Wendy, Af has still not reared her head. Having very confusing symptoms:confused:. Hoping to get an answer either way soon. I have gone google made:laughing:on the symptoms of PG.
Hope you got your tests and you're ready to go tomorrow too.:yelclap:

[Ky]

AF isn't here yet, but I tested and got a bfn. Hopefully she holds off for another few days as I have a formal wedding to go to on saturday! Not looking forward to having to deal with her on such a busy day ...

Congratulations to all with :bfp: - sending wishes for trouble free pregnancies ending with beautiful, healthy bub!

[Electric Rodeo]

Tested this morning and got :bfn:
I should know better as I never get BFP's till about 5+weeks and even then they are feint but judging by my :hissy::crying::banghead: mood AF won't be far away.
Going to go and take out my mood on the dishes:p

How did you go Hoping4another:babydust2:

Good luck to all testing

[chel070580]

Babeone - isn't custard only a no go if it is made on raw egg and not cooked?

Was it one of those ones that the custard is baked inside? if so wouldn't that be ok cause the egg would then have been cooked with the custard?

[PreggySiren]

Ky - :fingerscrossed: AF stays away for AT LEAST another few days (but I'm sure 9 months wouldn't hurt :laughing:)

:hugs: Mitake - let's hope that :bfp: is awaiting you a couple of weeks down the track!

Babeone, I think chel is right about the baked custard. Rest that little preggy mind of yours :goodvibes:

[springbride]

:smiliedance:Big CONGRATS TO Strangefruit & Babeone:smiliedance:

May you both have great pregnancies and both you and bubs stay safe and healthy:flowerz:.

[springbride]

Mitake & Ky I have my Fingers crossed AF isn't coming for both of you, bring on those BFP :flowerz:

[babeone]

Chel and preggy siren- i hope that is the case. I think it must be baked coz it stays inside the scroll!! IYKWIM.

:fingerscrossed: Ky- hope AF stays away and you get ur BFP.

Going to the docs today for BT to confirm- i think he is going to do a scan because of my irregular cycle he thinks i might be further along then what i think, i know im not and im scared that he wont find anything coz im only 4 weeks then ill be panicking for the next few weeks. Maybe ill tell him i dont want a scan...

And thankyou ladies for all the congrats. I hope it will be ur turn also this month- make it one big pink month

[PreggySiren]

Chel and preggy siren- i hope that is the case. I think it must be baked coz it stays inside the scroll!! IYKWIM.


My little brother is a senior baker @ Baker's Delight and confirmed it's baked. He seemed to think it'd be fine ;)

Big news for me girls - my gorgeous SIL just went into labour! :yelclap: Right on time too. My nephew is excited he's going to have a little brother. Just spoke to him on the phone (he's 4 1/2) and he was talking so quickly and high-pitched :laughing: "and then this! and then that!"

[chel070580]

Awww that is so cute preggysiren

BTW - i am not sure how they make custard at a bakery but I know I make mine just from a packet of custard powder and milk so there is no egg in that at all.

[PreggySiren]

:D I'm on top of the world waiting for my 6th nephew :D

[babeone]

:laughing: thanks for looking into my custard dilemma, makes me feel much more at ease!!!

This eating thing is going to be hard, i had a home made vegetarian curry puff at work today which wasnt hot and i was like ohh i probably should of heated that up... you just dont think!!!


Congrats Preggysiren on your newest addition to the family, six nephews wow!!! where are all the pinks??

[PreggySiren]

:laughing: thanks for looking into my custard dilemma, makes me feel much more at ease!!!

Welcome hon!


Congrats Preggysiren on your newest addition to the family, six nephews wow!!! where are all the pinks??

Thank you!! I'm so excited! Only a 2hr labour - can't wait to go see him :cloud9:

I have 3 SIL's:
SIL1 (DH's big sis) = 3 boys (most recent this year :bee: and is now done with babies)
SIL2 (DH's little sis) = 1 boy (TTC again - hoping for their girl)
SIL3 (My bro's DW) = 2 boys (as of today! Is now done with babies too)

Oh I can tell you now, I have my parents & DH's parents death staring me & DH for some pink :laughing: DH is not impressed - he wants mini-mes I think!

[chel070580]

2 Hour labour oh we could all only wish

[hopefulmumma]

Hi everyone, and congratulations for all that have received their BFP's:yelclap::yelclap:.
Hoping this is a sign that november is going to be a great month for most.
Seeing as i didn't start that great and got AF ealier than expected i might as well have one more go at this month, Kazc could you please add me to 28th and :fingerscrossed: i get another shot this month!!!

[C4K]

Hi everyone!

A question on luteal phase: Do you find that your luteal phase is always the same length (from what I have read this is supposed to be the case). I am panicking because I O'd late this month and if my luteal phase is my usual 10 days it means AF will arrive next Saturday - my wedding day!!

I have had some REALLY horrible periods lately (fainting, vomiting etc) I was considering going on the pill for this month but I thought I was safe. Why did my body have to decide to change this month???? I am still holding out hope that luteal phase is variable. What have you experienced?

Thanks

I would think it was the same every month from what I've read, but I'm no expert! Maybe the stress of the wedding is delaying your body a little?

I'm not sure, but :fingerscrossed: AF doesn't turn up right on your wedding day - that would be very inconsiderate on her part.

Best wishes for a lovely day :sunshine:

Thanks for the advise. We started on the first day that one calendar said and i will keep going until the last day. Didn't BD last night as BF wasn't in the mood.... AHHH men.

Got a little romantic weekend planned so lets hope for lots of BD'ing.

I really want that BFP this month, i always wanted my kids close together and DD is already 4.

My LP is always the same give or take 1 day - its always 14-15 days..... as its your wedding, is it worth talking to your GP and trying to see what you can do to delay AF considering you have such bad side effects? I have heard that natural progesterone can delay AF or maybe its O? Goodluck for the big day!:flowerz:

[hoping4another]

Hi all,

Mitake- Don't give up as long as there is no AF there is always hope... I have my finger's crossed for you..

As for me i did a test this afternoon and got :bfp:...
I am in shock as it was our 1st month TTC and we only did it the once DF must have good little swimmer's and i am not due for AF until Monday.

I sort of knew i might of been as i am still feeling :barf: this is the part i hate..
I just can't wait to get passed the 1st 12 weeks..

Best of luck to everyone still to test.

Just tell AF she's not invited as invitations have already been sent. :yes: She probably just wants the free alcohol anyway. ;)

A big congrats to all who have had :bfp: this month so far !

AF arrived for me today so can you please colour me blue for this month :(

Although this has only been our first mont TTC i cant help but feel a little disappointed that this was not our month, I would have LOVED a july baby !

Good luck to every one else still to test this month :babydust2: to all !

[mrsmov]

hoping4another YAY congrats on your BFP!:smiliedance:

3woofs - :hugs: hope december is your month - i hear August babies are lovely too! :goodvibes:

[PreggySiren]

Just tell AF she's not invited as invitations have already been sent. :yes: She probably just wants the free alcohol anyway. ;)

:laughing: That gave me a good laugh!

[Electric Rodeo]

Yay wendy:smiliedance:
That is awesome news, at least you are feeling sick for a reason. Was it a dark positive? Did you get bad MS in your previous PG??

So excited for you.:yelclap:

I am yo-yo ing along here. BFN this morning and light spotting when I wiped which has stopped now. I just want a BFP or AF(preferably :bfp:)I hate the limbo of waiting:hair:.

So don't colour me blue just yet and not pink either maybe combine the two and make me purple for "no idea":laughing:

Yay for becoming an aunty again Preggysiren, great news.:goodvibes:

[NatalieG]

Congrats again hoping4another ! Wonderful that you got your BFP so quick.
3woofs, commiserations but yep as mrs mov said - I reckon an August baby will be nice too! And I can definitely vouch for a little Spring miracle, if you had to wait another month... my DD was born on Sep 8th 05... by then, it's not freezing cold when you are getting up during the night!

I am totally full of nervous excitement. This is our first month TTC and as of yesterday I entered my fertile period. We bd'd last night and so now that things have started, and there is a chance (even a small one!) that I might get pregnant my stomach has started turning flips!

I know I am going to be a very painful 2ww-er :laughing:

[NatalieG]

oh - Mitake! How are things going? Your last post was yesterday so have a few more hours helped you work out what's going on? Good luck!!!

[Boscosmum]

Hoping4another - congratulations. Have a wonderful pregnancy and no more :barf:

[kitty1kat]

hi everyone.

KazC - could I be added to the 22nd? Thanks very much.

I am in the waiting for ovulation game like a few others - sometimes I think it's worse that the 2ww - would juts be nice to know what's going on. Have started on B6 and Vitex this month to try and speed up ovulation and lenghten luteal. I was on Clomid last time I was TTC but the silly system over here in the UK this time means I have to see a specialist, which might take another four months! So trying the natural way in the meantime. My FS told me last time that my late ovulation wasn't ideal, and although my cycles are shorter now (about 35), I am still ovulating on day 22 or later, and she told me that you really want less than 20 ideally.... I'm on day 15 now, so fingers crossed for a postive OPK anyday now!

Huge congrats to all those with BFPs so far this month - especially those who have been waiting a long time for their first.

And best of luck for everyone testing This weekend!!!

Although this has only been our first mont TTC i cant help but feel a little disappointed that this was not our month, I would have LOVED a july baby !

:hugs: 3woofs and everyone else who has had the dreaded AF arrive so far this month.

As for me...only two more days until either AF arrives or I hopefully get my BFP! I am just hoping that something happens this month...8 weeks and no AF or BFP is freaking frsutrating:banghead:

Have a great weekend gals

[fox_girl]

Well i had a very depressing night. Last night was supposed to be the day i am right before ovulation and DP is being a total a$$ and didnt want to BD.... He has been arguing with me on and off for the last week and now he is being nasty and wont BD...

:fingerscrossed: that he is out of his bad mood when i get home and he will BD today and tomorrow and so on with me.... :hissy:

[clm1982]

Hi All,

Well my testing date was today BFN however i think i calculated my dates wrong cos im AF is due on Monday. Its only my first month off the pill i may have not even ovulated yet who knows.

So ill wait till Monday for testing again but i think ill be in limbo land this month :(

[PreggySiren]

Yay for becoming an aunty again Preggysiren, great news.:goodvibes:

Thanks! Can't wait till I can go and see him - SIL said he's a little porker :D

:babydust2: Good luck for everyone testing :babydust2:

I'm still watching out for the elusive O. Getting on my nerves! :laughing:

[NatalieG]

I'm still watching out for the elusive O. Getting on my nerves! :laughing:

Oh, me too! As it's my first month off the pill I have been really unsure what to expect so I am constantly at the watch for signs. I am trying to keep my willpower together to NOT do another OPK today - I *should* wait until tomorrow but it's so hard.

I feel such a novice at this. I don't know what I am doing :laughing: I want at BFP because if I get pregnant now, it will mean that I will spend most of my first trimester in the Christmas school holidays - I am a teacher and would feel so much better knowing that I can puke to myself and not try to hide it from a bunch of 8 year-olds! (I had a pretty sick first pregnancy and while I am hoping the next might be better, I have prepared for it to not be as well).

mumoflj, that's too bad! I hope you and DP have worked out your arguments and are on more... er... friendly terms :)

clm1982 as I said above it's also my first month off the pill and am annoyed that it might mean unreliability about ovulation... but I'm trying to stay excited at the same time. If that makes any sense! If AF is not due until Monday then you're still in with a chance! :fingerscrossed: Good luck for testing Monday!

[vireo]

Please add me in for testing on the 22nd. Thanks.

[fox_girl]

NatalieG - Thanks for the good vibes. I came home from work and we were in better moods and went out and got some seafood for a nice romantic dinner, a movie and then DP suggested buying DD some baby chickens. So we bought 3 baby chicks 1 week old... I now have 3 new babies....lmao
DD gets back from her dads tomorrow so she will be so excited.
And then when we got home and the sister in law left we BD!!! YEAH :yelclap:... According to some of the calculators today i am very fertile and tomorrow i ovulate.

I have notice that i have been having a discharge, kinda like a muscus (sorry if its TMI) so i am guessing this is the build up to ovulating or the actual ovulating??? not sure but been having pains, like cramping the past 2 days.??? no idea.... AHHHH!!!! :fingerscrossed: its ovulation...

:babydust2::babydust2::babydust2: for everyone

:banghead::hissy::devil6: This month of Nov is going soooo slow!!!

I'm testing on the 17th and it just feels like the days are going slower on purpose!!

anyone else feeling the same??

[dillydAlly]

Can you please put me down for testing on the 25th Please..... Doing IUI on Tuesday!

[Electric Rodeo]

I feel such a novice at this. I don't know what I am doing I want at BFP because if I get pregnant now, it will mean that I will spend most of my first trimester in the Christmas school holidays - I am a teacher and would feel so much better knowing that I can puke to myself and not try to hide it from a bunch of 8 year-olds! (I had a pretty sick first pregnancy and while I am hoping the next might be better, I have prepared for it to not be as well).

oh - Mitake! How are things going? Your last post was yesterday so have a few more hours helped you work out what's going on? Good luck!!!

I am sliding closer to the blue shade of things:p. Spotting has continued for 2 days now but nothing heavy enough to mark undies, only when i wipe. Weird cramping too:( Will be calling in tomorrow to be coloured blue no doubt. Talk about a drawn out intro by AF. Never mind I am going to get organised with some opk's and see if I can work them out for next month. Testing in dec will be on my birthday so hopefully that brings :goodvibes:.

I am a teacher too (was anyway haven't returned after first DS. Can totally relate to being sick in the presence of 8yo:laughing:. I used to :barf:in the art and craft sick each morning and disappear during class. They even used to let me eat my vegemite sanga at 10.00 without battering an eyelid once I explained why. Such good kids. :fingerscrossed: you can have most of the 1st tri during the summer break.

Yes, super slow.:mad:
The wait is reeking havoc here. I have had every emotion possible today, all in one fun filled day:laughing:.

ATM I am happy and relaxed eating fruit loops straight from the box, hehe.

Yay another testing buddy for NatalieG & myself.

:babydust2::babydust2: for us and everyone else. There is plenty to go around.

I know what you mean Hoping its the worst thing ever having to wait and i think the days are so drawn out. I bet the 2 days before testing will be so long...

[hoping4another]

Hi All,
Thankyou all for your congrat's.. I hope i have more ladies joining me soon...

Mitake- The line was in between IYKWIM.. Am testing again tommorow.
As for the M/S issue i can not remember getting it this early in my PG with Liam i remember getting it about 6-7wks with him..
maybe it's twin LOL.
I have been PG 3 time ( 2 M/C & my son) and have had M/S with them all...

mumoflj- All i can say is F****** Men I sooo hate when they do this especially when we only have a few days a month i am sure they do it just to be nasty and be in control as my DF does the same thing.

Good luck to all the ladies still to test:babydust2:..


Wendy

[fox_girl]

Thats good to know its not just my BF that is like this.
We made up and had a nice seafood dinner together, although i only ate 1 prawn, i think i am allergic cos i get an itchy throat.

I think i might even get lucky again tonight....
Fingers crossed for me today as i am very fertile according to the calendar...

It does seem early doesn't it for the MS. I had it with both boys and it started around 6 weeks too. That is why I think I am now a total nut case as I had been:barf: recently and getting BFN:(.

Maybe it is twins for you, he he.

I'll test again tomorrow if AF doesn't start overnight.:smiliedance:

[Lachysmama]

Is it possible to experience MS from as early as conception?
.. and do the hormone levels rise quicker with twins?
Sorry to everyone who's DP's are being difficult with BDing- mine is the same, I don't understand how they work?! :confused:

[Eco Goddess]

The wait is really bad... AF is due tomorrow and I was very tempted to test this morning but somehow held off. I want to at least make sure AF is late before I test - although I would love to get a BFP right now!

I havent had AF for 8 weeks so am getting verrrrry impatient. If it doesnt arrive tomorrow and I get a BFN its off to the docs again to see what we can do!

[SomewhereOverTheRainbow]

Sorry to hear Mummy2noah. :hugs:

I must be strange as I think this cycle is actually going pretty quickly, I'm still not stressing and trying not to get too excited despite my chart 'almost' being triphasic. Still convinced it isn't my month though and I'm OK with that..:confused:

[maybe1more]

Hi all,

Mitake- Don't give up as long as there is no AF there is always hope... I have my finger's crossed for you..

As for me i did a test this afternoon and got :bfp:...
I am in shock as it was our 1st month TTC and we only did it the once DF must have good little swimmer's and i am not due for AF until Monday.

I sort of knew i might of been as i am still feeling :barf: this is the part i hate..
I just can't wait to get passed the 1st 12 weeks..

Best of luck to everyone still to test.

Wendy

WHHOOO HOOO WENDY:smiliedance: im still in shock for you too!!! I so hope im joining you this month!!!!:goodvibes:

HELP GIRLS HELP

I have myself in a spin...

I have been feeling quite unwell with tummy cramps all weekend and last night was seriously unwell with the cramps and ended up :barf:. i have just taken a forelife test (I am 14DPO) and i swear there is a really light line...

What should i do? am i Preggars? am i just getting excited about nothing??????

Oh my god...

[SomewhereOverTheRainbow]

Flis...sounding good....
Can u post a picture?
A line is a line, as long as its not an evaporation one, I think you are!!!! :smiliedance::smiliedance:

[Craftymum]

Flis - Sounds promising :yes:, why dont you go out and stock up on some First Resposne tests as they are fairly reliable and do another test in the morning. Goodluck!

[flis]

what's an evaporation line??????

this is agony

[SomewhereOverTheRainbow]

I *think* you would only get an evap line if it sat there for too long and the urine dried to make a line. Can u post a pic??

[flis]

pic on way - i am totally shaking

[flis]

eeeek how do i post a pic?

[SomewhereOverTheRainbow]

Its all good honey, and a completely normal way to react (I was shaky and crying and scared with both mine, even the last one which was planned!!). :hugs: You're just in shock is all. Go and have a nice big glass of water, sit down and take some nice slow breaths....:yes:

[SomewhereOverTheRainbow]

if you have photobucket post a link? I'm not sure how to do it otherwise, but there must be a way?

[Witchypoo]

You could always post the photo of your test as your avator! Just go to the User Control Panel and upload it from there. It will then show up as the little photo next to your name on all your posts - like my yellow flowers!

[flis]

I have downloaded pic to my photo album under my bub hub profile. think you would need to just go in there and see it????

you totally can hardly see line in real life, let alone via pic...

[SomewhereOverTheRainbow]

Yup, i can see something, and now I understand your confusion. I would definitely go and buy some first response ones, maybe a 3pk, you can use one today and one in the morning? How many DPO are you?

:fingerscrossed: for you lovely!!

[flis]

[SomewhereOverTheRainbow]

[flis]

thanks so much Nic and Elle

[Witchypoo]

[XavysMummy]

:iagree: with Nic, get some first response or confirm HPT and do one in the morning...good luck

[SomewhereOverTheRainbow]

I agree with Elle!! GO GO GO!!! :thumbsup:
Especially since I have to leave for work in half an hour and I want to know before I go, or else I'll be wondering all shift!! ;)

[flis]

i have just done another forelife test (as i had one left) and it too has a line - this time a bit darker so definitely off to shops but think i am preg now. oh my gosh i cant believe this is really happening - this would be the most perfect timing if i was - for my work when bub is due plus DH & I are going o/s in end dec/jan and i will be 10-12 weeks by then which would be fantastic.....

yay

will be back with an update later!

(hopefully in time for you nic)

[fox_girl]

Congrats Flis i could see a faint second line. And congrats on the darker line in the second test.

I have something strange going on with my body and its really annoying. I am supposed be o'ing today but when i woke up this morning and went to the toilet when i wiped there was bit of blood (TMI sorry) not red but just pinkish and kinda egg white like, slippery (TMI again). Yesterday, last night and this morning i was having period like cramps in my tummy area. Is this normal for ovulation?? Not sure as never really taken much notice.

Getting all worked up for nothing i am sure, but i hope its nothing unusual... I want to make sure i am ok to BD tonight...

[XavysMummy]

DP suggested buying DD some baby chickens. So we bought 3 baby chicks 1 week old... I now have 3 new babies....lmao

Hey stroll on over to my Backyard Chicken lovers thread...I got 3 1-day-old chicks 14wks ago....my girls are now about 4-6wks off laying. I also have 2 Pekin Bantams that are 12wks, thats 'Marjie' in my avatar!

[SomewhereOverTheRainbow]

Yay flis!!! I think you must be pregnant, so a big premature CONGRATULATIONS!!! :smiliedance::smiliedance: *I made it small as I'm jumping the gun a little!!
Save me a spot in the july thread!! ;)

mumoflj- I have heard of people spotting when they O. Not overly common but I think the little eggy just has a bit of trouble getting out and bursts a capilary or something. Nothing to worry about though, and nothing to stop the BDing!!;)

[flis]

I agree with Elle!! GO GO GO!!! :thumbsup:
Especially since I have to leave for work in half an hour and I want to know before I go, or else I'll be wondering all shift!! ;)

So sorry Nic - havent left for shops yet - have been looking at test and it is really getting dark now - will post pic tomorrow (DH thinks i am a crazy woman as it is let alone me trying to explain why i am putting preg test pics on the net! LOL) - but i can definitely definitely definitely see a line this test.

tomorrow Will book in to to see Dr so hopefully all will be confirmed.

thanks again girls - you really helped just then.

Flis

[SomewhereOverTheRainbow]

WOOHOO!!! I hereby pronounce you a BFP!!!:bfp: :smiliedance::smiliedance::smiliedance:

Thanks Nic. Its easier to ask a question here than google it. It was only a tiny bit of spotting nothing major to worry about so i think i will just accept that it is normal and continue on as normal.

What about the cramping and strange fluttering feeling i keep getting?
I am only concern as this is my first cycle since having IUD removed.

[Witchypoo]

Yay!!! How exciting Flis!!! Congratulations! :smiliedance::yelclap::smiliedance:

Have you stopped shaking yet? Have you told your DH? Let us know if you test again tomorrow and how you get on at the dr's. Well done! :thumbsup:
