Third Time Lucky - Fingers Crossed!!!

@poptart: it must be so hard not having him round all the time to share in those special times but then when u are reunited i supppose it makes thing extra special!!!:hugs:

@dodger: i am a poas addict i would take one right now if i had one!!! lol

although

boobies i feel have defo gotten bigger but dont hurt and ive just wiped tmi (but all in the name of baby maiking ;) ) and i think it had a slight red tinge to it since then im also getting af like cramps now the cramps i do get as pms but im only on day 21 of my cycle i never get them this early so big fingers crossed!

this month i was not stressing about getting prego what with the mc last month and i also looked at my work contract and i only get stat. maternity pay. i freaked out but dh said we will cope so i thought in my head if i didnt get prego for another couple of months its wouldnt be the end of the world as it would mean i could save up more for baby clothes and equipment :crib: knowing my luck tho...only kidding i would love to have a bun in the oven!!!
 
Bananas - lol I've done mine for the day. ;) It was a bfn, but at 6dpo, that's not surprising. :P My boobs have been hurting/sore a lot, but I don't think they've gotten bigger. What does the stat. maternity pay cover? I know in the Netherlands it's something like a year off paid, but here in the States I think it's 6 weeks for most places, more if you are REALLY lucky, and it's pretty much unpaid if you are in a retail job.

I did get my progesterone supps today so I'll do my first tonight before bed. :)
 
I woke up this morning went to the loo and a big gob of creamy cm is this gd?
Still sore bbs, when are u ladies testing??x
 
Hi Cheryl, Im loving your sore boobs moving picture made me lol :rofl:

I had fuller tender boobs, restless sleep with vivid dreams and feeling rather tired most days....felt different so took a test a day before AF was due and got a positive on a dip stick but as it was an early test I thought it was a false +, waited till AF was then 3 days late and couldnt wait any longer and have got a strong + on every test I have done since......so booked in to see my GP and she confirmed it for me with a blood test....YAY :happydance:

Im wishing you luck in your 2WW, having a spotty face is a good sign tho as i also got more spots mainly on my back which was abit rubbish given the hot weather and wanting to were strappy tops, but if thats the sign for 'YES your pregnanat' ill take it anytime. so my fingers are crossed for you - keep us posted wont you on how your getting on :flower:

I also agree with Dodge, your not out yet....stay positive honey.

Hi bananas, it it difficault sometimes as I miss him loads but we can skype when he's not working late and the time difference is not too big which is nice to chat to him, and yes you are right it is soooo special everytime he comes home, especially the look on his face when he sees me again, its too cute and i love it :hugs:

Bananas i also had some light pinkish CM after wiping i know TMI which was too early for AF so fingers crossed things go your way this month honey.. and dont worry about maternity pay etc, it will be fine as as my neibough says: you make it work with whatever you have - I was made redundant a few monthe ago and so am just studying at the moment, but DH says im to just look after myself, take a break and concentrate on my college work and we will make it work wether ive got a part time job by the time we have a baby or not. so im doing what ive been told by him and my GP - look after myself and slow down.

Dodge, 6DPO is still early so try and wait a few more days (i know thats the hardest part) and then try again.

Haha lots of boob changes going on with us ladies so here my info for you:

the first things i noticed with mine was they appered fuller and alittle uncomfy then went on to get tender and i didnt realise how full and bigger they had gotten untill my friend (who knows about my + for support purposes as DH is away) said when i saw her tuesday - holy crap check out the knockers on you honey - which made me lol...

you may not notice straight away (remember we see them all the time) but they may be tender as they are changing size and shape and you wont notice untill they are alot bigger...

Dodge i have to say - ITS ABOUT BLOODY TIME - im really pleased they finally got you your progesterone supps at last, good luck with them and i hope they help you honey - how are they to use - are they uncomfortable, you dont have to answer if you dont want to, just curious. :blush:

AFM: if my boobs continue to grow as they have been im definately going to have to go for a bra fitting and get some new ones next week...fast running out of room in my current ones and some im spilling out of, so i just wear a comfy support bra instead...my DH is going to love them....lol

Ive still had NO cramping or spotting (which is what i had before both MC so im taking it as a really good sign this + is different somehow) Ive been feeling really tired at about mid afternoon each day and sometimes earlier and struggle to keep my eyes open, also been going to the loo more often, but as my doc mentioned it i can happily report to him and you guys ive had no problems with bowel movements which im very happy about :-) haha TMI sorry.

The other thing ive noticed is ive become irresistable to little insects, currently my calves and upper arms have been attacked something terrible and im doing my best to not stratch them....rubbish, but ill cope.

But on a plus side my skin apart from afew spots which i dont normally get my extra dry skin on my upper arms and thighs has almost completely gone - im soo smooth its really nice thats another thing my DH loves too, so hes really looking forward to getting home now...

Ive not had much in the way of sickness (yet) only afew instances feeling rather crappy from a smell, being hungry or just after eating but ive as yet not been actually sick but after two mc's any sign/symptoms which suggest this pregnancy is progressing better than the last two I will welcome at this point, im sure you all can understand that feeling.

Ive also been soooo bloody thirsty its really scary, ive never even in my really active days wanted and drunk this amount of fluids.....another thing im taking as a good sign, its crazy- like im clutching onto every little straw that comes along as proof.....

So being paranoid after two mc's im still using a dip stick every 3rd day just to make sure for my own piece of mind its still +. Ill only do this up untill the midwife app next friday, but its currently the only confirmation i can 'see' change infornt of my eyes.

I'll feel better after seeing the midwife and am putting together any questions I want to ask her so i dont forget anything. If you have any sugestions as to what i should ask I would be very gratefull for any help...

Ok time to take my lovely whippets for a walk over the fields for some fresh air and to wake me up as ive gone all sleepy sitting here writing this, lol

Love hugs and baby dust to all of you lovely ladies, fingers crossed and stay positive, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
Hey Cheryl,

Dont worry i had that too and got my BFP 3 days later!!!

Try to stay positive and think of it as a good sign, finger crossed for you.

When is AF supposed to show? and when will you test if it doesnt show?

Thinking of you, xxxxx
 
Cheryl - I'd say that sounds like a positive sign!! :) Got my fingers crossed for you!

Poptart - Can't wait til your Mr is home with you again! I know 6DPO is early, but honestly I can't get the thought out of my head that my O might have happened earlier, so I'd rather be silly and test early for peace of mine then worry that I might not be catching it in time. I'm just using IC's so they only cost like 10 cents each. lol The boob growing bit scares the living daylights out of me... I already have a nearly impossible size to fit with 40DDD's... I did notice that they were getting bigger a bit on my last pregnancy, but not with my first. I just know that my boobs ache to the bump/touch and seem to both like and dislike being in a bra but they really protest when I take the bra off. lol I've actually been having slightly on the constipated side bowel movements for the first time in a year! lol I'm really hoping that's a good sign baby-wise. I'm definitely taking it as a healthy change for me in general since the last year has been all about the (TMI) diarrhea.

Bananas - I agree with Poptart in that the tinge sounds like a good sign!

AFM, I did my first progesterone suppository last night and another this morning. They are funny little things. They come in packs that kinda look like ammo rounds for a machine gun. lol And they are bullet shaped and white and have to be refrigerated because they melt within 30 minutes of being taken out of the frig. So far no issues with them, they are pretty easy to shove up there, but I've found that I need to either sit or lay down after I've inserted them because I was hanging up close and felt it slip right back out yesterday! lol Based on hearing what others have said about their experiences with it, I've been wearing pantyliners and I'm glad because there has been some creamy discharge that I'm assuming has to do with the suppositories. Thank GOD they are white as some ladies have purple, green, blue, etc. At least with white I can pretend that the discharge is creamy CM! lol

I woke up last night after having the most vivid dream! It was in the middle of the night and I was soooo sleepy that I didn't want to write it up, so now of course I can't remember much other then that it felt SO real while I was dreaming it and it woke me up because in my dream I DO remember that I had to go to the bathroom and was holding it for some reason. I woke up having to pee like a racehorse! *giggle*

I don't know if that's a good pregnancy sign though or if that's a side effect of the progesterone. BFN again this morning, so I think that is making me start to think that FF is right about my O date. lol
 
Evening ladies I hope your all well and have had a good weekend.

Well my DH gets home late tomorrow and i cant wait, its been forever since i saw or spoke to him properly and i havent seen him since I got my BFP so hes dead excited about getting home..

Dodge those all sound like pretty good signs as i had both the vivid dreams and had to wee lots wether it was more often than normal or as you put it 'like a racehorse' in the morning hehe so dont give up just yet...when is AF supposed to show anyway?

AFM ive had a good few days and the only changes for me really is that im having to vivit the bathroom more often and have been waking up to go in the night which i never have to do normally, I have had a bloated tummy for days now and also had mild tummy cramps which my doctor said was completely normal for this stage as its the way our bodies deal with all the changes going on at the start and will change from bloated tummy look to baby bump in the next few weeks...Yay exciting.

My boobs are still tender to touch and really show it when i take off my bra, Ive even started wearing a support bra at night as its much more comfy for me. I have also been going from feeling really very hungry to not wanting anything at all at times......very strange for me as my meal times were like clockwork before...

Right time to get on with the last bits to do before DH gets back late tomorrow, xxx

Love hugs and baby dust to all you lovely ladies, xxxxx
 
Hi lovely third-timers. Just wanted to report back on my weekend. Had cramping all weekend and AF was due either due Saturday or Sunday so when she hadn't turned up by last night, I thought I was really in there with a shot. But have had a big temp drop this morning and feeling quite crappy so I think AF is on her way... sniff sniff....
Just want to go curl up on my couch and eat chocolate... Really gutted. With the cramps over the weekend and AF being officially a day late (unofficially 2 days late) that I may have had a shot but sadly not.

Well - fingers crossed for this new cycle. Hoping its the keeper-cycle.

Hope your all doing well. Other ladies testing - any good news? PopTart - so pleased your DH is back today. Lou - are you back from hols?

xxx
 
Hi ladies! Back from holidays and we had a great time- Greece was soooo hot! 42 degrees on our last day! Back to earth with a bump though as we are doing our last bit of house moving today which means...lots of cleaning of our old house before we go! Also I might not have internet for a few days in the old house but I will do my best to keep in touch and beg, borrow or steal internet access from somewhere!

So can't chat for long just now I'm afraid but if the cleaning goes well I might be able to catch up more later.

Mannymoo- sorry to hear you think AF is on the way...but you know what they say, you're not out til she shows. With my 2nd pregnancy I was so convinced AF was coming that I gave up testing and then only realised that maybe I should test again when I was about a week late, and of course got my BFP then.

PopTart, again, congratulations and I will catch up with you more soon.

Dodger, great to see you on here again, I was sad the last thread we were on kind of petered out.

AFM, I am 10 DPO - AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE MY PREGNANCY TESTS ARE!!! Aaggg! They are somewhere among all the boxes but who knows where! Well I will just have to be patient I suppose and hopefully this will help me to hold on til AF is due. Only symptom I have is craving savoury food and complete aversion to anything sweet, which is kind of similar to my first pregnancy...and very unusual for me as I am a serious chocolate fan!

More later ladies! Lots of love xxx
 
Hello ladies not been on for a few days!

I done a test when I got home saturday afternon BFN but not surprising! But TMI my urine wasn't very strong so holding out to test wednesday that will be 3 days before AF is due! Boobs still really full, nipples tingle! Been having to do 2 toilet trips in the night normally I do 1 about 6am lol! And also very thirsty DH was laughing at me yesterday as I was drinking bcoz I was so thirsty but also busting for a wee at the very same time! Very vivd dreams. Cramps on and off very light with no pain. Normally I get them strong a few days before but recently just the day AF arrives so I have no idea what's going on! Really not trying to get my hopes up but every month I can't help it!

When I got home I said to DH do my boobs look big he said he wasn't getting involved with spotting and will hold of for AF! I see his point! Lol

Dodge stat maternity pay is 6 weeks at 90% then something like £540 a month don't quote me but with child allowence I will be taking home £620 a month! Its never the right time to have a baby! U just have to take the plunge!

Will keep u all posted on the AF/BFP situation!!!!!
 
Pop - Mine feel the same way! They actually don't really hurt when they are in a bra, but afterwards, oh boy! I pretty much flinch even when my softest shirt touches them! I think you said, but I forgot, when will you have your first scan?

Manny - Bummer for the temp drop. :( I'm still hoping for a bfp before AF shows though!!

Lou - I'm glad to see you too! :) I'm a day behind you at 9DPO. Hope you find your tests soon!!! :D

AFM, I started getting consistent stretching/pulling cramps last night and they seem to be sticking with me. I thought I saw a hint of a line on a test yesterday but wasn't sure at all since there was an indent on the top of the test where the test line would be. Today I did a couple more tests and I'm swearing again that I'm seeing the barest hint of a line. Fingers crossed that my DH sees them too and I'm not developing line eye!
 
Hey ladies how are you??

I'm 7dpo and going to test on Sunday 13dpo. Xx
 
Hey ladies how are you??

I wanna test now!! Lol I've also had a bad back today and an earache don't think that counts tho lol!

Sending u lots of sticky wishes dodge!!!!
 
Think I may need to buy a pack of 2 cheap tests from the supermarket on the way home lol!!

Will keep u posted!
 
That's brilliant Dodge! Congratulations! This is definitely a lucky thread!

Hi Bananas, you're about the same stage as me, 10DPO now, considering testing early but trying to hold off for now!

And Hi Cheryl, nice to see you again, will be rooting for you next weekend xxx
