Welcome new ladies! I'm getting more and more amazed at how many of us their are. Glad that we're sticking together through this.

Babee I see a line too! Hooray!!!

Hosey we are only one day apart. When you testing? I'll try wait until then too.

Cheryl - let us know what your bloods come back as but I have a feeling they will be nice and healthy.

Garfie - sometimes its better not to know where you are in your cycle instead of worrying all the time...

Lou and Pop - hope your both good.

Sending lots of positive ovulation vibes to the ladies-in-waiting.

OMG welcome lovely new ladies, I hope you find lots of help, support and positive thinking in this thread that rubs off on you all.....I had no idea when i started this thread it would be anything like this and im soo happy to have you ladies along for the ride with us and sharing your journeys....

I am also sorry you are in this thread - noone should have to go through one loss let alone any more but I welcome you with open arms and wish you all the luck you get your third time lucky sticky beans too....

Right for Lou your Q on page 26 - I am only managing to eat and keep donw the basics at the moment unfortunately.... finding it difficult and feeling very tired because of it, but coping.
Im eating sooooo much fruit its untrue and like you loving the weetabix at the -moment too its funny you like it too... so im managing to keep down plain foods, not too rich in sauce or lots of ingredients - so not alot i can have which makes a list very short but it changes every few days as to what i can have and really cant....
write down a list with two coloms - on smiley face one unhappy face and put the foods you can and cant deal with on it and change it when your body changes its mind - my midwife said i should try it and its been brilliant as if i fancy something or crave something you dont tend to remember all the foods you cant handle and its a good reminder - plus it stops you having something and then having to run to the bathroom or feeling bad.
Im still being sick on a semi regular basis, which is not great but im coping. Im also fiding myself crying at really random things which is making my DH laugh alot, its all very new and strange but im loving everybit of it so far - bring on the next changes....
Im still having trouble getting my boobs into any bras i own and have to sleep in a support sleep bra otherwise they hurt and wake me up, also peeing for england and drinking sooo much water, and also cant stand anything pressing on my tummy so have to undo trousers when im sitting down ;-)
On the plus side my boobs are big perky, my nails and hair are strong and growing really quickly and my woofs have taken to enjoying laying with there heads right next to my tummy - we think they can now hear babys heart beat and its calming for them to hear...they are alittle put out when i get up or move....funny woofs.

Right i will have a proper read over the last page or so and catch up with you all later must take the woofs out as its stopped raining for a bit now, xxx

Love hugs and of course sticky baby dust to you all, xxx

Question for the ladies who have used smiley face opk.....they say don't go by the 2 lines which I understand but in ur experience when u have had ur + dose the 2nd line stand out more??? Please give me hope I'm getting so board of mutha f'ing not ovulating!!!!!

 

[horseypants]

this last time around, i got a smileyface for two days, both with good blue lines but on the first day

the first line (closer to the pee area) was lighter
and the second day, the first blue line was darker than the second line

Its sooo hard not to look at the lines on those, as you have to eject them!, so yeh ive looked and ive noticed when ive gotten my smiley face, that the testing line is dark, but if i had to read the lines alone, i wouldnt of said it was positive!!!

Ive only ever noticed the lines to be the exact same shade as eachother, ive never seen the testing line get darker than the control one.

But i dont think there fool proof though... one cycle i got a smiley on CD8, bearing in mind i usually ovulated around 15-18... when i looked at the stick, the test line was all smudged!, so i re tested with the same urine and it didnt give me a smiley face that time..

 

[Babee_Bugs]

babeebugs, that's a nice bfp. congrats! how many days past o are you?

I really really hope its a new BFP ... But i wont say yeh or no till i see a DIGITAL lol

Im confused on what DPO i am... (If you look at my chart you will see why lol)... I have deffo ovulated... and im anywhere between 8-13DPO id say

Im hoping im the lesser, so got plenty of time for a BFP to brew i got a BFP at 8DPO with last Pregnancy after d&C... so maybes this is it?

 

[bananas2]

Thanks ladies! Bcoz I'm ott I've kept the other test and the 1st line definatly seems to be getting darker so hopefully its coming!!

Babeebug I can defo see a line 2!!!! Fx this is ur sticky bean!!!

 

[Babee_Bugs]

bananas ive found there took a very long time to gradually darken... but when ive used ics opk's ive noticed ive had nothing on them for days and then all of a sudden POSITIVE!!!

Keep with them hunnie and fingers crossed ovulation is just round the corner...

I really hope the tests arent just being cruel and showing evaps or indent lines etc lol, i shall update when new tests arrive lol

 

[mannymoo]

I use smiley faces and I always check the lines afterwards. Mine seem to be equally as dark when I get a smiley. But I also get some random results. The day before and the day after Ov I have no second line at all and then on random days through my cycle I get a faint second line. I definitely don't get fade in and fade out lines leading up to and after ovulation. It will happen soon, I promise! Are you still doing SMEP and BDing every other day Bananas?

I seem to have a stuffy nose this afternoon. Really hoping thats a good sign. I had it with my two previous BFPs but as it is winter here, I could just be coming down with a lurgy!

 

[Babee_Bugs]

manny i woke up with a stuffy/swollen nose this morning and a general feeling of CRAP lol... and its summer here

its been a very good symptom for me in the past... so fingers crossed hunnie x

 

[Lou15]

Right, where to start?!

Firstly, welcome to the new ladies! Babee, I'm pretty convinced of your line too!

Re the digital OPKs, I don't think test line was ever darker than control for me, either the same or slightly lighter. Re the cheapies, I got nothing, nothing, nothing, faint line one day and DARK line the next!

Manny- 1st symptom for me this time occurred at 8DPO- we were travelling home from Greece and I felt really nauseous- probably the travel exacerbated things so maybe you need to go on daily long car journeys as part of your symptom spotting!! Then still felt sick when we were home and 9DPO, and that's when I tested.

PopTart- I think the joy of weetabix is that it's bland and you can shovel it in quickly without much chewing or thought! Tonight I had a pasta salad but can't bear the thought of anything else. I am so frustrated, I am normally such a healthy eater and now that I want to eat healthily more than ever, I just can't! I am feeling quite miserable today really, work was an absolute ordeal to get through, feeling sick every minute. I don't want to sound ungrateful and I know I should be glad to have nice strong symptoms, but I was like this with my first and still miscarried so I'm struggling to be confident that this is all good. Anyway, enough of my moaning,sorry ladies, I know I am lucky really.

Elaine- sorry you had a bad day yesterday but I am so glad you are feeling better today. I think we all have bad days where it all seems so much harder but hopefully they will lessen with time. Sending lots of love.

Right, I am on call so I am going to go to bed now and try to get some sleep before the phone starts ringing! Love to all xxxx

 

[Babee_Bugs]

today and yesterday ive noticed waves of nausea and just totally gone off my food!!! nausea is just Horrid!, even if it means you may be pregnant or not!! BORK BORK..

I hope it eases up for you lou x
