Phew how hard is it to keep up with everyone?! I've had to go through & take notes (I really should be saving my note-taking energy for uni!). Here I go:
THopes - Good luck at the gyno, it's always nice to have an answer and a path of action. Hope it's something easy to work out for you!
Jenna - A friend of mine swears by prune juice, or even just prunes... Not appetising to me, but maybe it'll help? Also your poor hips, I totally understand. My hips have been ruined by my previous pregnancy, I carried DS to nearly 42 weeks & he ended up being 10lb 14oz, since then my hips just ache and ache. By 36 weeks I could only sleep an hour at a time, as I had to wake up every hour to turn over. My physio said I need to build up my core strength so my abs take most of the load (jeez that makes me sound HUGE!).
Jelly - uuuuuuuuugh that ****roach story... *shudder* Though at least it wasn't a frog! Keeping my fingers crossed for you for implantation bleeding! I'm with you about the worry about getting that BFP, my last pregnancy started with a VERY faint line, and now I'm worried that if the line's faint again that there's not enough hormone to keep the baby there and it won't stick again...
MillyD - you cheeky girl, though you probably won't have time to read this now that you're so busy BD'ing!
Rose - you're right, we should never give up hope. I just hate feeling so disappointed every month.
TTCALovechild - Lap surgery? Everything ok?
AFM (thanks for those that advised me!): Well got up this morning & tested with FMU, a super faint line at 10 minutes. I'm saying that you have to really look to see it. I know it could be an evap line... but as I said, my last pregnancy started out with a super faint line too. Of course I was testing before AF was due... though she's only due tomorrow, it should be close enough? But who knows, since the miscarriage AF's been a little out of whack. My first pregnancy was a definite BFP, came up straight away, but then of course, I wasn't actually TRYING, and I tested a week after AF was due (the day of my wedding!) ARGH I just want a definitive answer, I'm going crazy! My whole day is going to be centred around all this, in my head I'm like "Why not buy a different BRAND of test, that could make a difference...", but then I just feel like a crazy person (also we're broke!) , and think I should be PATIENT and if I just wait until say, Saturday, perhaps I'll get either AF or a definitive BFP/BFN. I don't know... I feel manic with hope, but also sidetracked by fear that it'll turn out the same way as last time. Waaaaaaaaaah!
Whoops, lost it a bit there. Sorry ladies. How embarrassing, and you've only just met me!
Morning ladies - oh my goodness. I've been feeling a bit off the last few days and thought I'd go POS a bit early - 10 DPO. And guess what - a massive BFP for me.
TCCALC - I miss you too - but its understandable that you're not on here much being so busy. Good luck with your LAP - is it a laparoscopy? Can you let us know how it goes? Big hugs
Ami, Jenna - fingers crossed. Ami no answers on how to keep the crazy lady at bay, I was a rabid tester.
Sararach - OMG CONGRATULATIONS- THAT IS AWESOME. I am so happy for you. Glad you get to be an escapee. It's not to early to be happy. Its not too early to be scared witless either. In all honesty, the fear doesn't really get any better, I think you just get a bit more used to having it around.
Ami - Thank you and fingers crossed it's a bfp for you very soon ...
Sarahrach- congratulations on your bfp! wishing you all the best hun ...
JennaJayen - fingers crossed your temp stays up for you hun ...
TTCALoveChild - Hi there! Fingers crossed for testing ...
AFM - well I got up this morning, got a few mild cramps... blood on my pad is dark coloured and only the size of 50cent piece - very unusual for AF to be like this!
hi all, rose-hoping it is just too early...jellylove-our bodies don't play fair sometimes...ttalovechild-right back at you...jennajayen-great news...ami-hope that line gets darker,fear is understandable,but their is lots of success stories out there..sarahrach-congratulations,wonderful to see another bfp in here...dory-hugs...afm-3 day embryo report ,14 are at where they should be ,sadly 2 are struggling,1 at 5 cells & 1 at 4 cells,nurse said they leave them alone now until friday,which will hopefully be transfer day...few ladies we haven't heard from for a while-hope you doing okay,thinking of you all

AFM about to head to bed its only9:55pm but im exhausted.. Chat with ya all tomorrow!
Good Luck all !! i want to see more BFP!!!
Oooh Jelly... what a confusing time for you, it's so annoying when our bodies do this to us. Boys don't know how easy they've got it, they really don't.
haha thanks Dory - how'd it work for you last time round? Did you get a dark line straight up?
Good luck Jenna!
Anita, will they still be able to do the lap if you get a BFP?
Fingers crossed for Friday MatthewsMum!
AFM (again): I HATE SUPER FAINT LINES
I really do. Ok, so I know I said before no crazy person testing, but to quote the movie Zoolander "I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!".
So I just HAPPENED to be passing Coles and thought I may as well get another test, you know, I'm here, who knows when I'll be passing another Coles *rolls eyes*. After all, surely there'd be one that would have maybe an earlier response than the Confirm brand? So got a First Response, and within 5 minutes I have another SUPER DOOPER faint line. But it's there. So I rang the First Response people and asked them, and the bored sounding lady said "If there's a line, there's a line, doesn't matter if they don't match." I think I'm going to vomit with excitement and terror. Do I keep on testing day after day, or should I go to the doctor to confirm it? Should I wait to go to the dr, what if I miscarry again like in the next week, so it's just like AF? Please please please be right, stupid tests, and if it is, please stick this time. I'm so afraid that I'm going to lose it again, just because I had the faint line the last time, so maybe I don't have enough hcG to keep it?
ami-the line even though faint,coming up in 5 minutes seems like a really good sign to me,there a lot of ladies that have had feint lines & pregnancy developed healthy.If you think it will help you,you could always ask your dr for blood test,i've heard that comes up with results quicker
SARAH - Congratulations darlin! That is such fabulous news!!!!!!!!!! It must be so scary for you but stay strong and positive!!!! couldnt open the pic. take care ok xx
Ami - congratulations too by the sounds of things!!?!? if your unsure though, maybe just go to the docs and double check! But wow! So exciting!!! xx
matthewsmum - my fingers are crossed for you lovey, everything is sounding good for friday! look after yourself!
Matthew's Mum & Ami - I know right! My body is drivng me nuts with all this am i? aren't i? is this af? is it implantation? i have a preg test sat in my drawer but i know it is too early and nothing will show up and then i'll have to go buy another one in a few days so i'm trying my best to be patient and keep busy - i've already scrubbed the kitchen everything is super shiny and clean in there! i think ill do some more housework in a sec... still 7/8 days until testing and I'm off work for all of those days! argh the boredom!
I think this thread moves even faster than the last one!
Crafty - hello?! Are you still with us? How's this new cycle going for you? Is the gadget working?? Wondering how you've been - haven't heard from you in a while.
Ferrals - how are you going? Thinking of you and hoping you'll feel better in yourself soon. You've had such a hard time of late - hugs to you and your DH. Hope things have settled down at work for him. Take it easy and enjoy your little puss - I do like Merlin as a suggested name too. He's super cute. Is he home yet?
MurryCod - how are you? Have you had the blood tests yet? V. excited we'll be doing our cycles at the same time (or close). So hoping that May is our month
Kit - how's the charting going? Fingers crossed it'll be this month.
TTCaLC - sounds like you are doing a terrific job with those little ones. Hope all goes well for your op this month.
Hi to Kirsten if you are lurking, Em, Iona-Macca and other lovely women from our last thread. Hope you're all doing OK. We miss you.
SarahRach - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WONDERFUL NEWS. That's a strong line too! So excited for you - all the very best to you and your little one. Wishing you lots of sticky vibes xxx
Ami - and maybe for you too?! Sounds very promising - the science of P'ing OAS eludes me but sounds like you're in for a chance girl - good luck to you and let us know just as soon as you can!
JellyLove - and maybe you too! Wouldn't that be fantastic! Fingers crossed. My first AF after the mc was strange - heavy one day, light the next. Guess our bodies need a bit of time to right themselves but hoping this is it for you.
Rose - what are you studying? I'd like to think I have an amazing social life, but sadly no! We just tend to get a lot of visitors all at once and as fun as it is it is also exhausting doing all the washing, cooking, cleaning etc etc. I'm now enjoying a quiet cuppa here.I hope your BFP is just hiding - be wonderful to see another announcement here. I'm a really bad speller - worse still, I taught for a while and I always had to have a dictionary with me or ask the kids!
Dory - I remember the deep fear I had the day of our scan and I can only imagine how paralyzing it must be for you from day to day with this pg but glad you can move through it as hard as that must be. You are a strong brave woman. I can't tell you how often I think of you and hold you and your little one in my thoughts and I know I'm not alone. (same for you Mummyof4)
JennaJayen - oo sounds promising! Good luck x
MatthewsMum - 14!! woohoo - that's terrific. Fingers, legs and anything else thhat'll cross for you for Friday. Very exciting. You know you are technically pg right? Your eggs and sperm have met and sound rather pleased with each other - lets hope it all keeps going along like this and you get your longed for BFP. Hugs and love to you.
I'm getting messages so I know I'll miss some other posts -sorry for that and hi to those I didn't catch this time (Millyd, MissK, Ric, Bons, Mildez, Tegam and others - too many to keep track of sorry), wishing everyone here baby dust.
