Third Time Lucky - Fingers Crossed!!!

[Lou15]

Thanks for all the good wishes everyone! Love having you guys to share it with as don't even feel I can tell my mum at the moment as I don't want her worrying.

Cheryl and Bananas, it's really sounding promising for you guys this month- and my symptoms defintely come in waves- mostly nasuea at the moment.

Mannymoo, again, I'm sure this is your month and look forward to updates.

Poptart OMG I can't believe you have whippets!! I grew up with us always having lots of whippets (and fully intend to have more), and now I have a gorgeous rescued lurcher! I will post a pic soon, and please can I see pic of yours? And I'm so glad your husband is home and you can spend some quality time together, he sounds lovely! As for the not drinking, I'm going to have the same problem as we're having friends round for dinner on thurs- think I'm just going to say I've stopped while TTC and hope they believe me.

Have to make this brief as I'm on call, but I'm looking forward to more chat soon and sending lots of love xxxxxxxxx

Hi Ladies - how are all our preggy mammas today?
Bananas - did you test again or are you giving it a few days?

FMS - I've decided that this cycle we're going to try SMEP. So I've done a schedule, sent it to DH, put it in our calendars and stuck it on the fridge. There is very little romance when it comes to baby-making!!

Hello all!!

Mannymoo yes i did test again BFN again!!

If I'm not pg my body is playing one crule trick and I won't like it anymore lol went to bed at 8pm last nite I was so tired then woke up at 1 and couldn't get bk to sleep as my boobs were so uncomfortale didn't hurt but could just feel them in every positioned I tried! Back hurts abit, gotten a headache the last 3 afternoons! Cm is still lotion like. Stomache is bloated! Feel sick if I don't eat at regular times!! Moody as well my boss upset me yesterday and I made it clear she had normally I just let things go over my head BUT at the back of my head a little voice is saying ur not pg this month!!! So go figure reckon it could go either way as been getting a few cramps they don't hurt but it could mean AF on her way!!!
Will keep u all posted!

How are the bumps ladies?

 

[mannymoo]

Bananas the symptoms still sound really promising. With my second pregnancy, I tested every morning from 9DPO and only got my BFP on 16DPO so give up hope you. There is still a really good chance it will come. x

Good morning my lovely lucky ladies....

I am doing fine thankyou, got my little bump of fluid at the moment which will get lower and more round as the weeks go by and im soooo excited to get to the stage when i can put up a pic for you all.

My DH has been soo lovely since hes been home and want to try and work his trips away round my appoinments as best he can, which could be difficult but he want to try and be here for as many as his job in F1 will allow him to take time off for...luckily hes in the shut down season at the moment so has the next 3 weeks off so were hoping to have an early scan asap which is what the doc told me to push my midwife for when i see her on the 10th so fingers crossed all goes well...i have never been this excited about getting to that appointment before but just feel we are going to get there this time which will be a dream come true and to have the good result we have been dreaming of after all this...

Lou - we love love love our whippets, we took sooo long to find the one we wanted and he is just perfect and always said we'd have two as they are happier as a pair and dont get so lonely....so when we got a call saying the breeder had had a surprise little at xmas and hed save the one boy for us we said definately so we have two boys fromdifferent litters from the same parents and they are so cute together - they clean each others eyes, ears and little feet.....they play together like brothers too...

Ill put a nice piccy up for you soon ok, and yes id love to see your lurcher - that was what we were going to get if we couldnt find the whippet we wanted......love them.. and as DH is alittle allergic to cats it works out well, as they have really short hair and dont moult alot either...plus they have the best temperament with everyone and especially children so that works out great....

Right to my new BFP pals, i hope you are all doing well and managing to stay positive and well in these early weeks... how are you getting on, any changes yet?

To my fellow third time luck ladies who will get their BFP's very soon, I am very hopefull you will get your dream results soon and we are all here for you and cant wait...

So how is everyone and what are you all up to at the weekend?

My DH and I will be visiting friends and family and making excuses for me not drinking, mainly telling people either that im on meds for previous mc's or am off the drink as we are ttc..so fingers crossed it works, and my DH is under strict instructions no matter how many questions his parents may fire at him when im out the room that hes not to tell them about my BFP!!! I wont be able to cope with the reaction at this stage or the dissapointment from them if it goes wrong again so we are waiting till our 12 week scan as we did for the other pregnancies before telling anymore people.

So we are enjoying having this between us and a couple we are extremely close too due to them going through it also (they have been brilliant for support and advice when needed and i was soo right to include them this time) we just look forward and are concentrating on getting to that point and thinking up fun ways to tell everyone when we reach that point...

So who, if anyone have you told either in the past or will you be teling this time around and how would you like to tell family once you get to the 12week mark......?

Love to you all, hoping for more BFP's this weekend - come on ladies, we can get a whole thread group expecting at the same time.......and this is the lucky thread thats going to do it, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

We will become the 'Third time lucky - bump buddies' xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hey woke u 3 times to use the loo then a nosebleed this morning I hope I'm not imagining this maybe drank too much before bed?? Hurry up Sunday. Xx

 

[PopTart28]

OOOOOOOH Cheryl that all sound reallllly promising.....

Ive been getting up 3/4 times everynight at the moment but it was only 2/3 just before i tested and i suffered with headaches and a few nose bleeds too....alittle alarming getting a nosebleed when ive not bumped my face but as with all these strange sypmptoms - if its for a good cause then Im not fussed what my body throws at me - just hope the sickness sticks to just feeling sicky and not actualy throwing up till we get back from our trips to visit friends and family after the weekend.....

Im sooo excited for sunday to come so you can test honey, wishing you good luck now incase I cant get online while we are away, xxxx

Cant wait to hear what your test says at the weekend, xxx

love to all you lovely ladies, and cant wait for more of you to join us bump buddies me, Dodge and Lou, xxx

 

[CherylC3]

Thanks Hun all day I've been having sharp pinching pain on and off all day. Xx

 

[mannymoo]

Cheryl its sounding good to me. Fingers crossed for you! x

 

[CherylC3]

Does ics dry in with a line?? I did one this morning t hot there was a shadow and now it looks really obvious xx

 

[dodgercpkl]

Cheryl - I'd say you are knocked up lady!! My first bfp was a line that showed up on an IC way after the time limit, but it had color and stayed for weeks. The next morning the line showed up within the time limits.

Poptart - Have a great weekend! I hope your sickness keeps itself to just nausea so that you can enjoy things.

I'm sorry I've been so quiet. My very very faint line hasn't gotten darker, so I've been a bit bummed. It's still early though so it could easily just be being slow to show up well. *fingers crossed* My boobs aren't aching as much as they were, but I do think they may be bigger then they were. I've been feeling a bit faintly nauseous, but I don't know if that's because I'm worried that the line isn't getting darker or what. Anyway, we'll see. AF is due on Sunday if I'm not knocked up.

 

[CherylC3]

Aw Hun I'm due af on Sunday too and mines was just a shadow so prob just too early try one on sun or mon Hun..x

 

[PopTart28]

Hey ladies,

Dodge, dont worry about your boobs not being as sore as they were mine have been going from mega sensitive and feel very heavy and full to managable so each day is different so dont worry too much, and also you line was there so im sure you will have no visit from AF over the weekend.....yay!

Cheryl - im so excited now, all your symptoms sound sooo damn promising (ive had everything you've said your experiencing) and im like dodge in saying im guessing your about to join us in being a bump buddie very soon yay cant wait - sunday hurry up please....

Right just a quick one this time as im fighting with coursework at the mo but couldnt resist logging on and checking in with you lovely ladies...

Have a good day all of you and look forward to more news from you all soon, xxxxx

 

[bananas2]

I'm out AF arrived!! On cue!!!

Why do PG and AF symptoms need to be so alike!!! My boobs are never sore! I never get headaches! I never have a bad back!

Oh well means I can drink at a friends birthday party this weekend!!

Roll on next month!! Least I've got the appt at the hospital so hopfully I can get some answers!!

 

[CherylC3]

Aw sorry bananas next month will be ur month. X

 

[mannymoo]

Ahhh Bananas - so sorry it wasn't your month. I agree - why can't AF and Preg symptoms be completely different. It would make all our lives so much easier! I'm totally disappointed for you but at least I now have a TTC buddy for this cycle... and I have a good feeling!!!

Dodge try not stress too much about it. The line is still there and hasn't disappeared so there is still loads of hope. Have you been using FMU every time? And have you been using the same brand? I had a box of ICUs the other day and the dye was completely different on every one. Even the printed logo was darker on some and lighter on others so it could be differences in the dye too. Maybe don't test for a couple of days and then try again. Really praying that it won't be a disappointment for you. xx

 

[mannymoo]

Oh and Cheryl - whoop whoop! So there is a line? If your unsure post a pic and we'll give your our expert opinions. Wow - that would be amaze-balls if you get your BFP too. I think all you BFP ladies should send me a number between 1 and 49 and I'll go get some lottery tickets! xxx

 

[CherylC3]

You can't see it really in the pic its just like a shadow il test again on sun...xxx

 

[CherylC3]

Think it might be my line eye playing tricks on me

 

[dodgercpkl]

Cheryl - I know the feeling... I'm feeling that way too. Hopefully it's just being stubborn with us...
