    Nikabella – Congratulations!! How exciting, are you getting any symptoms at all?
    Natalie - Fingers crossed for you, I really hope it is a BFP when you next test.
    Reverie – Sorry to hear AF arrived, fingers crossed for next month
    GISI – Glad you are feeling ok so far. Bet you are looking forward to being able to tell people J

    Well I am in a bit of a quandry too. I dont know if you remember me saying but we went away with friends this weekend. Well although my AF is not due until this Weds I thought there would be no harm in testing on Sat morning before we left just incase, as I wasnt sure what to do about drinking whilst away. So I did an ebay test first thing Saturday and a faint line came up, but not as faint as the last one I convinced myself I could see, this was an actual faint line. I showed HB and he could see it too. But to be honest cos every month I seem to be let down with the tests I am not convinced. So although I did have a few drinks on Saturday night, I didnt have many just in case. Its difficult as everyone else had a drink in the afternoon and I had lemonade and HB said his friend asked him if I was PG!! Gawd it must be hard to keep it quiet if peeps are suspicious already and Im not even sure if I am yet, lol!!

    So I have been obsessing all weekend, I definately have full and slightly sore bbs and feel bloated in the tummy, but both of that could be cos AF would be due soon now. So I am gonna test tomo morning to put my mind at ease one way or the other. If I am not pg, then I must cut down next month as Im sure my tummy is not usually this bloated, lol!!

    Isn't it amazing how many people jump to the pregnancy conclusion when women don't drink! Is alcohol really so prevelant!

    Fortunately I rarely drink anyway because alcohol doesn't agree with my meds so people are more surprised to see me drinking than not! :rotfl:

    I may as well add myself to this thread. been ttc for almost 7 years now with no success, me and my DP are off to the hospital on April 1st for our 2nd appointment, going to get the scan done to check allis well before any treatment is decided upon by the consultant.


    Hi Fluffity.

    I don't know if you are aware but there is also another thread for those of us who have been TTC for over 12 months.
    A lot of us have been through or are currently going through procedures and are very willing to give help and advice to those in the same situation.

    Its totally up to you, I'm not saying you have to go from this thread to that one, just wanted to let you know it exists.
    (I read both threads and have been TTC for 5 years)

    If you are interested its here http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1215125

    Ooooooo Good luck Fattybooboo, I am on the edge of my seat!! I really hope it is a BFP for you, I will keep checking in today to see.

    My lord that makes me sound a bit weird l just get really excited when someone gets a BFP.
    I had a boost of insparation yesterday when I ws reading really old posts about peeps getting there AF and feeling low, then seeing their sigs about when here bambino is due so all the heartache is woth it in the end!

    I have a slight dull ache on the left side of abdomen, I was wondering if this could be ov?? but if it is I am out of luck as OH is working away from today mon-fri for the forseeable(sp?) future so it looks like I will be on here a while :(
    DFW AND OS'ER IN TRAINING!!:D
    Oh and bump due 3rd Dec 09' mummy to be for the first time :T

    Thanks Daisychain. Well I couldnt resist last night taking an ebay cheapie test and a line came up quite quickly, again quite a faint one but considering it quite late in the evening I was quite pleased with it.

    I have just tested again (obsessed I know!!) and a slightly stronger line came up. HB is still not convinced as we have had this happen before, but not over 3 tests. So although I am starting to allow myself to believe it, I think we will both feel better once Weds comes as thats when AF is due. I think the early-ness in the month is whats making me a little unsure, as I am on cd32/about34. When do you think I could try a Clearblue Digital, it would be worth waiting until AF is late wouldnt it?

    Thanks

    At last, a day off work for me (providing the phone doesn't ring in the next hour - LOL) so I am catching up with everybody quickly before tackling the washing and as usual, wow! Lots of news!!

    So big congratulations to Nikabella and Fattybooboo too! I am sure it will be good news for you also Natalie as that is sounding very positive to me.

    We haven't forgotten you GISI and will quietly be wishing you well until your scan is over with - but I am keeping the positive thoughts up for you and then you can thoroughly enjoy spreading the word I hope!

    Daisychain - you and me are in the same boat this month. I am now on CD11 and there is a definite ache on the left side so I know OV is on the way (will test later) and OH will not be available for BDing until Friday so I was hoping OV would be a little delayed this month, but don't think we will be lucky enough for that to be the case now. We don't seem to be around at the same time often enough recently and it is so frustrating!

    But luckily I hardly drink at all so people stopped commenting on even before we agreed to start TTC luckily, as that kind of pressure must be hard to take. even virtual strangers can become so nosey!!

    So apologies if I've missed anybody out and I'll keep my fingers crossed for everybody xx

    I am still spotting - but nothing as much as AF, will leave it till tomorrow & if AF not started properly do a test, I keep on getting crampy pains but not as bad as AF.
