Mid-August Testers

[NotNic]

I'm hanging Bex! I have one last test left - but its a CM digital. I don't know if that's going to tell me I'm pregnant or not I would probably fall over in shock if it does

Hands - I love your post. Really picked me up and energised me

Bye for now everyone! xx

 

[InHisHands]

whooo hooo!!! I'm so glad nic. I can honestly say im on cloud nine. I didnt even have 1 cramp today but my nipples are still sore! I think even if i get a BFN tomorrow morning, that it won't kill this mood.

I've finally done scared that ol' hag away, and it ain't even halloween yet!!

She's definately not making a pit stop any time soon. And since i've never missed a period, my bet isn't on a hormone issue. I've been really stressed out before too. Example: Working full time and taking 18 credit hours in college and here comes finals and AF all in the same week. *shivers*

Shoot.... I've even stopped looking for spotting in my discharge when going to the bathroom. I'm totally Breezy today.

You are hitting the PMA big time today!! I LOVE it!!!

If you are testing tomorrow morning, what tine does that make it here in the uk (just realised I have no idea where you are!)??

I will be watching this thread with anticipation for the result!!!!!

 

[InHisHands]

i'm in the United States. I believe you guys are 5 or 6 hours ahead of me. So right around lunch time for you.

 

[Srbjbex]

I will be checking in with eager anticipation.....

I love the US, we went there on our honeymoon earlier this year and had a fantastic time! It's nice now to meet all you lovely US ladies on here

BFP on its way for you babe!!!!

 

[InHisHands]

Woke up at 2:30 in the morning needing to pee... so i tested. BFN

I woke up at 3:15 with some cramping.. went into the bathroom... there's bleeding. Gonna have to assume that it's AF and if that's the case, then i believe this will be my last month of trying to concieve. After 9 months, I can't handle the emotional rollercoaster anymore. I'm just broken.

 

[NotNic]

I'm so sorry Hands. Sending you the biggest possible right now. You're not broken. You're like me and the other girls. We're a bit squiffy! I know how you feel about giving up. That was me last month (and TBH me again this morning).

We will have our baby soon, but in the meantime we need to enjoy our lives right now. I don't know if you have this expression in the US, but the moment you stop looking for something it always turns up. When I can finally start again I'm going to just do opks. If I actually knew if I o'd this cycle it would have taken half the guess work away. I'm going to try my hardest not to try to much iykwim. In the meantime I'm making plans for me. I feel like i've put my life on hold for long enough. I went clothes shopping for the first time in months yesterday. I had a facial. I'm booking to get my hair cut and coloured, I have a girls night out planned. I'm going to have a strong vodka cranberry and big glasses of wine, and pate and smelly cheese and rare, rare steak. I'm going to enjoy myself because I think when I'm happy and calm that BFP will come and find me. I know that this will be the same for you. Keep that chin up lovely. We're here for you. xxx

Inhishands- sending love to you right now!! You're not broken you're human!! Keep your chin up!! I was talking to a girl at work yesterday who is pg and she said exactly what nic said, she stopped fretting and just enjoyed herself and her husband. The month she stopped fretting over the signs and temping and such she ended up pg. Your time will come!!

 

[InHisHands]

Small Rant Warning: I couldn't get back to sleep last night after i tested. Im going to be really suffering at work today due to only having about 3hours and 45 minutes of sleep *shrugs* I just dont get it. I had NO SIGNS of AF what so ever for the past several days. Even when i went to bed last night, i had no signs. I usually am bloated several days before and have bad cramps and spotting for at least 12 hrs before it gets to be a flow. It's just not fair for it to creep up on you like that without warning. When i woke up i saw some light spotting.. but when i went to pee.. a huge clot fell into the toilet. What's up with that? *shakes head*

 

[snowflakes120]

Oh Hands -I am soo very sorry. I feel your heart hurting in your post. I am sending you lots of cyber hugs right now. Keep your head up please! I do know how hard it is. I think you and hubby should go out for a nice date night today - have dinner and chat and go to the movies or something cute like that!! You guys totally deserve it!!

Nic - I love your advice today. It was really great to hear. I needed that as well.

I LOVE this NotNic! So so true. I am right behind you....leaving work in an hour, going to get ready to go out to dinner with DH and have a couple drinks tonight - HAPPY FRIDAY!

Ugh, Im so sorry ....it will happen - relax this cycle and dont focus on the symptoms so much....you are like the rest of us here. Once you start to TTC you become immediately in tune with your body, so little things (like a twinge, sore bbs, etc) that maybe you wouldnt have noticed before become a sign or lackthereof. Dont stress hun, your BFP is out there. Its just teaching patience along the road to it

Hello ladies! Ended up super busy yesterday, and only managed to get to a computer now. Just catching up.

Hands - I am so so so sorry to hear about AF. I can tell that's it's really hit you hard this month, but please don't blame yourself! Mother nature can seem very cruel sometimes, but I know that you will have a baby, it's just for one reason or another, nature has decided that it's not quite time for you yet. You are a wonderful lovely person, and you have cheered us all up on this thread many a time. You abosolutely deserve a beautiful little baby and I KNOW you will get there. Hang on in there, keep your chin up, and take Nic's advice....spend some time enjoying yourself as a couple, and have a very large glass of wine.

Hugs

Hey girls. How is everyone? We've had a good weekend - went to a Chicken Wing festival with friends and then went back to a friends house later on and had a bunch of yummy drinks and played games. Today I am going shopping with a girl friend. Got some laundry to do and laying around the house watching crappy TV shows with the dog to do as well!

It is finally starting to cool down here and feel more like fall. I am soooo happy!!

Just bored and trying to keep busy to keep my mind off TTC for the month and keep it super relaxed.

Hey jchic!!

 

[NotNic]

Hi Snowflakes! It's definitely more Autumnal here in the UK. We have a roast on and have made an an apple and plum crumble for pudding. Yum! We can totally forget about the diet now as there's no chance of bikini weather here for a good 6+ months now!

I'm still waiting (I bet that's not a surprise for you all! ) Took another test this morning and have a BFN so I will be keeping tomorrow's appointment. Definitely don't feel pregnant, so I've changed my mood to 'bored' of waiting from cheerful. I have been so positive this month (well 6 weeks! ) and it's really helped me keep calm. I'll stay upbeat for next time, but pretty curious for what tomorrow brings. Fingers crossed that either a BFP or the shows up this week. I need to know what I'm doing.

Hope everyone else is good and relaxed. I'm soo pleased what I said helped you guys. It helped me to write it too. Much love to you all

Good luck at the Doctors today Nic!!!! Hope you get some answers!

 

[NotNic]

Hiya! I'm back from the doctors. He doesn't think I'm nuts - which was a bit of a relief! I saw someone different to usual, but he agreed that it is odd that I should miss a period now, having had 5 (not including withdrawal) periods post BCP. I have got a blood test booked for Weds to check my hormone levels to figure out where I am in my cycle, a full blood count, thyroid and liver functions. Phew! Based on what they say, he said that he may book me in for an ultrasound. He did want me to do a pregnancy test test there, but I had peed just before the appointment - nerves so I didn't think I could go again. As I did do a test this morning (I'm seriously collecting those BFN's now! ) he said not to worry, but if AF doesn't show up this week then I should test again in a week. Also if it does show up then the tests will still be useful.

All in all, I'm quite happy and he seemed thorough - but I'm still not sure if he thinks that I could be pregnant (kind of seems that way - but is that wishful thinking?), or if there is actually something properly wrong. He didn't specifically say that I could be, but he did say that it might be too early to see anything on the ultrasound (assuming he means yolk sac etc.?) I guess we'll have to see what the tests reveal.
Will be fab to have an answer even though it takes a blood test to do it Also I'm a bit nervous that this is starting to tip toe into the fertility testing zone. Four months ago you couldn't have paid me to do opks. It's all become a bit serious.

Sorry for the long post. How's everyone else? I've lost track of where we all are cycle-wise now (apart from where Bex and Bea are! )
