Third Time Lucky - Fingers Crossed!!!

[mannymoo]

Congrats Dodge. Thats excellent news! What DPO were you? Bananas, Cheryl and Lou my fingers are very tightly crossed for you all. Keep us posted all of you!

FMS - AF did arrive this morning so its onto a new cycle for me. But I'm feeling good that this is the one for me. Strangely, 4 weeks from today (the day I will be testing) is the exact date that my first baby would have been due (27th) and 40 weeks from today is a year to the day I had my second mc - STRANGE! So its got to be this month.

Does anyone else to pregnancy maths EVERY month???

 

[CherylC3]

Aw congrats congrats Hun so happy xxx

Let's hope us ladies follow I'm testing on sun 13dpo when at you girls testing??xx

 

[Lou15]

Well ladies, this seems to be a seriously lucky thread- because I just got my BFP!!! Only 10DPO and wasn't even morning urine, but I'd been feeling a bit sick all day, and found my FRERs in one of the boxes and got a lovely, lovely positive!! Feeling excited but very nervous.

Mannymoo, sorry to hear about AF, but I really think you're right about the meaningful dates being a good sign...I'm a real believer in that sort of thing since my DH was born on the day my parents got married! And, yes, absolutely, I do the pregnancy maths EVERY month- I find my phone calendar very helpful! Due date this time works out about 12th of April I think. Poptart and Dodge- what dates do you think you'll be due?

Fingers crossed for Mannymoo, Bananas and Cheryl- this thread is the place to be so hopefully it won't be long for you!

Love to all

Manny - I am 9dpo today, so definitely early, but my other two I found out at 8dpo and 10dpo respectively. You did remind me that this is my last cycle before my first due date - fate ya think? Oh I do hope so!!!

Cheryl - I've got fingers crossed for you to get your bfp! I'm thinking Lou is right and that we are all going to end up with our bfp's!

Lou - woot!!! Congrats! My EDD is April 13, 2013 so just one day behind you. I'm glad you tested!

I'm totally rooting for you Mannymoo, Bananas and Cheryl!

 

[bananas2]

wow congrats lou 2 in one day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this thread is very lucky!!!!!!

well walking round tesco i chickend out in buying a cheapo test. but now i wanna test so bad!!!!! i have a first reponse i was saving till weds but i think i'm gonna have to break it open 2mo morning!!! i find in the tww i tell myself thats it this is my month im pregnant then i get scared testing early incase its a BFN/on the other hand i want to know one way or the other!

question: with both my previous bumps i didnt even know i was pregnant then started mc within the week of finding out, so with the symtoms do u get then all day long or do they come in waves?

mammymoo:my DH and all his family actully believe in numbers so much!!! before i met him i didnt really take that much notice but since he has pointed them out to me its amazing how much the same ones show up!!! sending u lots of baby dust for nest month!!!!

 

[CherylC3]

Aw Lou congrats huni woop woop I'm 7dpo I think il test on thurs 10dpo then Sunday if hurs is neg af due sun to mon. Xxx

 

[dodgercpkl]

Mine have always come in waves - depending on what the symptom is. But in talking to lots of women who are PAL, it's normal for symptoms to come and go. Like I've had very little nausea this time, and other then achy boobs and a relatively new (to this cycle) stretching pulling feeling, most everything else has been hit or miss. I've also read that every pregnancy is different.

 

[bananas2]

oh good!! Bcoz everything has been in waves and i started to think i was just symptom spotting when i thought about it!

well i could be joining the BFP gang in the morning or im still in the tww waiting game!!!!!

sending u all lots of sticky dust!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[dodgercpkl]

Totally hoping to hear you get a bfp in the morning!!

 

[mannymoo]

Lou!!! Omg that is amazing! I'm definitely sticking on this thread. You ladies seem to be where the luck is at. SO pleased for our 3 BFPs so far. Lou, pop and dodge really praying that third time really is lucky and all your little beans stick like glue!! Hoping to hear about even more BFPs as the week goes on. What a fertile bunch!

Sweet dreams ladies. X

 

[mannymoo]

Good luck for testing bananas. Let us know how it goes. x

 

[bananas2]

Well I tested.... but im not out till af shows her ugly face!!!unless she does arrive i will test again saturday morning! i used a clear blue for the 1st time and the control line was soooo much darker then the neg result line is this normal for this test??

[PopTart28]

WOW I have an evening off to settle my DH back at home and everything happens....right ill do my best to cover everything:

dodge - OMG congratulations on your BFP and I hope this one sticks for you too, come on third time lucky ladies

Hahaha bananas - i did the run for the cheapies as I couldnt wait the last time so i know how you feel honey.. hang in there

Oh manny im sorry AF got you but you are being soo positive and this is your cycle, it all seems to want to fit for you and you will get that BFP soon, and yes i absolutely do the Maths every month for every possible date i need in my diary...its addictive but hard to get away from but its also very intresting when you get into it.

Cheryl - i will be thinking about you till you test on sunday then i cant wait to see if you get your BFP too.....yay more bump buddies.... fingers crossed for you honey.

Lou - YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY brilliant news and I had a feeling your holiday BDing would be lucky for you - better start thinking of greek style names honey, soo happy for you.

Come on ladies stay positive we can and will all get that sticky BFP and be bump budies...
Lucky thread, I hoped it would be....well done ladies - see staying positive works!!!

Cheryl your testing next and sunday cant come soon enough....fingers crossed - do you have any symptoms at the moment?

Some of my sypmtoms come and go in waves but others are there all the time and are getting stronger, it depends which one it is really...

Bananas - as you said your not out yet but your boob symptoms are promising as is the cm your having.....my fingers are crossed for you when you next test..

AFM - DH is home and we had a wonderful evening together - he had to go in to work today but is off for the next few weeks after today which will be brilliant.
He even had time to stop and get me some lovely flowers on the way from the airport to say congratulations - he is absolutely made up we are pregnant again and cant wait for my first midwife appointment - which is friday the 10th unless they have someone cancle and i will get bumped up - so just have to try not to panic and worry and sit tight and try to enjoy it being our secret at the moment.....

So I hope all you lovely ladies are well today and Im soooo happy whatever we seem to be doing is working - loving sharing our journeys with each other and cant wait to see some scan pics on here...exciting stuff...

Love hugs and loads of sticky baby dust to all of us...

come on the weekend I want to see bananas and cheryl get that BFP...

Manny - you will be next month i can feel it = your numbers match and its looking like a lucky month full of meaning for you honey, were still with you all the way, xxxxx

Have a good day ladies, sorry if i missed anything - had alot to catch up on....man you gals can chat

Ok time to get on - need to have something to eatbut cant decide if im hungry or feel sick.....ohhh just another symptom - Im loving this... and am soooo happy to have you ladies now going through it with me too - not long and we'll all be as my DH put it 'Up the duff' and can compare bump sizes and craving together.....

Lots of love, catch up again later, xxx

 

[mannymoo]

Bananas sorry about the BFN but it is still quite early and lots can change in a day in the world of TTC. I would say don't test for a few days and see what happens but if you're anything like me, you'll be POAS tomorrow morning again. Lets hope its good news!

PopTart - one night off and you missed a stack! Glad your DH is around and that your getting to spend some quality time together. Roll on the 10th!!!

 

[PopTart28]

Hi and thanks manny, its soooooo nice to have him home....its felt like forever since i saw him and just the simplist things like just having a cuddle in the evening, having him give me a little kiss or hand on the back as we go upstairs ready for bed and to wake up too feels soo nice again.....
and for the first time last night i didnt have to cuddle our two whippets to stay warm in the night as i had him there to snuggle up to, xxx

So after coming on this morning and having a whole page and a half to catch up on...yay i never thought id get my thread to 10 pages...sad i know but im loving having some amazing ladies to share everything with and go through it all with you....

Right for the first time in months ive had to put the heating on to take a chill off the house as its gone really cold today, but my boys are curled up under the spare duvet on the sofa at the moment so they are happy.

AFM im still the same - still pregnant YAY!
Ive been doing a cheapy test every 3 or 4 days as im paraniod that now ive made a midwife app ill have to cancle it as ive never made it to that appointment before and it will be a real milestone for me.....

So im still scared im going to mc again but trying to think and stay as positive as i can and now DH is home hes helping me with that as its easier than when hes away.....

we have also had to come up with a good excuse for why im not drinking as at the end of the week we are viviting parents and freinds for overnight stays......

heres what ive come up with: for visiting both our parents as they know about the mc's im taking medication from the docs because of the mc's and cant drink on them should do the trick...

Then for visiting friends that dont know about the mc's we were not sure weather to tell them about our mc's and use the above not drinking reason....not sure if we want to tell them tho...

What things have you ladies told friends for why your not drinking when you've got your BFP ut its too early to tell anyone?

And if any of you are experiencing any symptoms please share - its always nice to hear about other peoples symptoms at this stage...

Lots of love, xxxxx

 

[CherylC3]

Thanks pop tart well my 8dpo symtoms are

Really sore bbs
Loads cm
The odd twinge niggle down there
Really spotty
Thot I felt a bit itchy down below who knos
Really hungry all the time even after I eat.

 

[PopTart28]

WOW all sound super good news for you this month already Cheryl, im sooo excited for you to test at the weekend.....

Ive got my fingers and toes crossed you get that BFP on sunday, do you think you'll be able to hold off testing till then...i was surprised i managed to hold off as long as i did - its worth it when you do...

I had almost the same symptoms you are having only my nipples were very sensitive too...

Im now between 20-22 DPO and feel good actually except still nervous about things but coping better as each day goes by and now DH is back its easier to not have to cope on my own so every day is getting better, just waiting to see the midwife on the 10th, so counting down...

Hugs to you all, xxx

 

[mannymoo]

Cheryl - symptoms sound great! Looking forward to some more weekend BFPS!

PopTart - its so sad (but completely understandable) that you should be relaxed and enjoying pregnancy but instead your POAS every few days to make sure. I think we're all going to be exactly the same. And checking the TP every time we go to the loo. But try put the past experiences behind you and keep thinking of the little baby coming in less than 8 months!!!

I pretty much stopped drinking in November when we first started trying so people don't generally ask anymore which is good. Otherwise I blame it on my reflux because drinking makes it much worse anyway. A trick I learnt recently... flat coke in a wine glass looks JUST like red wine. Not sure whats worse when preggers tho - coke or wine! Otherwise just get DH to sip both yours and his - my DH loves that!

 

[CherylC3]

Thanks guy ooh must add the vivid dreams too lol.. Defo not testing till Sunday cos if I'm bfn on sun at 13dpo I kno it's the truth. Xx

 

[PopTart28]

Hahaha manny coke instead of wine....

Im not a big drinker but when we do go down to visit parents and friends they always offer a glass of wine or something to drink so just wondered about what everyone did if they had to get out of it...

Like you I have stayed away from drinking more than a glass every now and then since we started ttc and think ive had a total of 5glasses of wine since then.

We wanted to have a reason ready as the inlaws will definately ask if i turn down a glass of wine as they are alittle nosey and will jump to a conclusion if i dont give a reason and then i run the risk of them telling/discussing it with other members of the family and id rather avoid the stress of it.
My parents wouldnt think twice about it but unfortunately the inlaws are alittle more probing with all the 'why's', 'is everything ok' and want to know all about whats going on. so DH and i have made sure we can shut them up question wise before we get there and can just relax and enjoy the visit.

Ooooh Cheryl - vivid dreams have played a big part in my symptom list from the start, so damn excited for you, xxx

Love to you all, xxx
