  • hehehe awww I hope tomorrow brings good news :) when are you due to test? (that came out as "tet" first then "tese"....hmmm!)

    emmzy - the older I get, the more I love being a woman, I think we are well and truely blessed :) the downside for me is periods, but I suppose without them we wouldn't have fertility!

    scotsgirl - that's good news that you've had an early ov! Hope you're making good use of it ;) good luck for this month, sending lots of sticky baby dust your way. And to you bitzer!

    I may be using it productively!! ;) I've been taking agnus castus religiously this month, so I think it may actually work for me.

    Hey all, wow you have all been chatty again!
    My interview seemed to go well though I haven't heard anything yet, they said I would hear either today or tomorrow, so still keeping my fingers crossed, though not feeling quite so positive:( I wouldn't lose out on matty benefits though as it is still within th NHS, I just don't kow if it was a great idea announcing a pregnancy 5 minutes after starting a new job...
    Might do some BDing tonight to make up for it though!

    Oh heck, just did a multi quote reply and lost the whole thing :mad:

    So, lets see what I can remember with my addled brain!

    Redstararnie, I'm so sorry :o I wasn't forgetting you, just thinking more along the lines of 3 in quick succession, uh hum :o

    Could be Bitzer joining the club soon? Fingers crossed hun.

    Emmzy, well done you! Big gold star for being a brave girl :staradmin

    Snugglepants, :rotfl: bl**dy men, only good for one thing at times and nothing at others! But it does make me realise I shouldn't take it to heart when my OH struggles to deliver the goods at times - at least he will then always want to help me afterwards to make up for it! So I suppose I am lucky and just didn't realise it ;)

    Smartie, I'm still assuming you'll get your BFP so start believing it please!

    Billybobberyl, yes it is possible. If you had sex the day after your period ended (assume around day 5?) and the sperm was nice and lively and had a hospitable environment inside you (book speak, not mine!) then you could have ovulated early around day 7-9 and that same sperm could still have caught your egg, so don't rule it out! Not solely my thinking, I have to say, but I sat and re-read that chapter and figured yes, certainly possible!

    Twinklie, ooh how exciting. So I'll hope you get out of your existing contract easier than you think and then onwards and upwards! That must be worth a good dose of PMA...

    Becs, I'm sorry to read that, I really am. Not much more I can say, but you know how I feel and that you are feeling the same when it happens, x :cry:

    And Catw0man - I'll keep hoping for you too! I really wouldn't worry about when you fall PG though, as we know that can be such an unknown cause and will happen when it happens, so just go with the flow and do what feels right for you, x

    Sorry if I've missed anybody, or my fuddled brain has gotten confused - I'm soooo tired and need some rest. :rolleyes2 Night night all, x

    Hey everyone,

    I've been trying to read but haven't posted for a while, as there's been a lot of family problems recently, so I haven't felt up to it.

    Huge congratulations to Redstararnie and 1more? :j I hope you'll have a healthy happy 8 months ahead of you. Hopefully you will be joining them with a BFP soon smartie, it's looking hopeful although I couldn't remember if you said you'd thought you'd had a little AF before you got you LFP? Good luck to Bitzer too.

    I'm so sorry it didn't work out for you catwoman and that you had to have a D&C (hope that's right), I'm impressed by your strength of character though - your ability to focus on new things is admirable. I hope you get your sticky BFP soon.

    I'm sorry that AF got you Leopardlady - I had been waiting with baited breath sure that this month was your month. I'm very glad to see that you & your OH seem happier at the moment though & your PMA is amazing.

    Madmac thank you so much for caring. I really hope that you & your OH can start to feel better soon. I know just how difficult depression can be & even once I passed the "black" days I found there were so many "grey" days before I finally had "white"/good days. The process of recovery is a long one and I don't think there are any short cuts but one day it will all get better. Keep talking; to us, counsellors, your friends/family, anyone as long as it helps.

    Well tomorrow I will hopefully be 11 weeks and my scan is on friday - I think I can almost let go of the breath I've been holding for the past nearly 8 weeks, I never thought we would make it. Now I just have to see that there's a real heartbeat & baby in there. DD is coming with us to the scan and so I'm hoping it will be a wonderful experience for her - goodness knows how many people she has told that there is a baby in mummy's tummy already!

    I'm going on a teambuilding/raft-creating/sailing down a river day tomorrow with work & my manager keeps asking why I won't be getting on my team raft - even though he knows I'm pregnant :confused: Normally I'd be the first person on the raft, it's not like I'm a party pooper, & I felt obliged to do it up until the other day when my friends all told me there was no way I should be doing it. So I've done all the organising for my team to make up for my lack of paddling!

    Lots of babydust to all,

    Hi Ladies

    Well I was due to test around 28th this month however really felt 'funny' (non descript - just weird) so did a FR test and go a very faint line. Completely shocked and scared so waited a couple of hours and did a CB with CI and got Pregnant 1-2 weeks.

    I cant believe it - I still think its not real and wont last...think im going to test every day until scan 1!!

    There is hope!! xx

    Wow Congratulations clarity! :jWishing you a happy & healthy 8 months & a speedy 8 weeks to your scan :rotfl:.

    Good luck for you scan kindofagirl - I've been looking forward to hearing that everything is ok at your scan & that we will have the same due date :) I've just realised I've always read your name as "kind-of-a-girl" but it's actually "kindofagilr" was it a typo or does it mean something else?
