    Oh my gosh Teagz, a faint line is a very good sign, but I don't want to get your hopes up either as the disappointment would be awful, but I am very excited for you. When are you going to test again? I'm glad that your DF / family are organising the party for you, your 21st is a big deal, so really enjoy it! Very spoilt getting the digital camera, will be good for when your little one comes along. Really hoping 'this is it' for your Teagz

    Wouldn't it be great if we got a load of BFP's this month. And for Dee & Diana

    On a serious note (sorry) is anyone else getting worried about having bubs and not working and the worsening economic climate? DH and I were talking about it today and it will certainly change things for us having a baby around now, but I don't want to wait any longer due to my age and wanting more than one. I might have to go back to work though, which I have never wanted the pressure to do. Anyone else feeling like this?

    Berry, I don't want to return to work either after we have a bubs. Df is on a pretty good wage and we'll be able to live comfortably but we won't really be able to acheive much extra iykwim.. we want to eventually get a bigger house and more land. But yeah, I definately don't want to feel pressured into going back to work either, I want to be able to do it when I'm ready to.
    And, as for my next test, AF is due in 6 days. I'm not getting my hopes up, I am not getting my hopes up, I am not getting my hopes up!!

    Teagz! A line is a line, you've got a BFP!!! If your AF isn't due for another six days it's still early days, that's why the line is faint. Congrats my dear!!!

    My AF is definitely here. BUMMER but I'm being an adult about it this month and not throwing a tantrum.

    Megan. I don't think being sick affects your fertility directly. Sperm and eggs take four months to mature so the ones you're going to be matching up this cycle have been brewing since Dec - they'll be OK. What CD are you now? Good luck to you!!!

    Diana, when do you test???

    Beata, you have a heart of gold. You do have many more obstacles than I, but don't rule out your chance of a naturally conceived baby. Sue thought she could only conceive with IVF and we were mourning the loss of her latest frozen embryo when she conceived naturally. Now she's 30wks. Miracles do happen, and you certainly deserve one!

    Hi my beautiful friends,

    Nae hun, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!!! You've got the signs of pg, and it might just be !! I so it is. It might be too early to get a positive, as you've said yourself, you don't know exactly where you are in your cycle. Let it be, let it be!!!!!!! Maybe my pg dance worked last nite ???!!!! LOL

    Teagz, I think you might be UTD!!!!!! I don't want to jinx you by congratulating you, but I think this is it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A faint line is still a line!!!!!! Woo hoo!!!!!!!! OMG, we could have 2 BFPs now (you & Nae) and then another two with Diana and Dee, and OMG, maybe Magan too!!!!! OMG, it could be raining BFPs this month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!
    I so did this BFP dance yesterday, my DF said I was mad mad mad! (oh well, I already knew that!) lol

    Lan, big hugs hun. Don't worry, maybe you can make a preggo 'twosome' soon too???? Diana and Dee, Teagz and Nae, and you and Megan!!!!! Yeepee (sorry, too much red cordial today )

    Diana and Dee, still praying very hard every day. Now DF thinks I'm possesed as apparently I say my prayers tad too loud in bed, while he's trying to sleep......Everything is always tightly crossed for you two

    Megan, this economic crises does scare me, but like you, I can't wait any longer because of my age, and also I would like two more bubs. Fortunatelly, DF is on an excellet salary (although, there are no guarrantees anywhere...) and he always said it would be up to me if I wanted to stay home indefinitely after bubs were born, or go back to work part time if I wanted too. If I had Joshua last month, I would have stayed home 12 months and then tried for another baby straight away, and then I don't think I would go to work for a while . I've never considered not working after kids, as I am waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too independent, but i think I could do it for a while. I am also extremely lucky as mum lives 2 minutes down the road, and she can't wait to babysit all day long, every day......

    Well, today I was sooky la la all day long. DF had to drag me by me ear to go out for lunch. I started to pout and pull faces and stomp my feet as soon as I woke up yesterday, so this morning he anticipated me being a 'horror' all day. And I was. Oh well, I can feel sorry for myself, can't I????? Thanks all you lovelies for your comments about my work. It is a horrible place, but I've decided if I am like this a month before my transfer, I will quit. I don't want my transfer to be compromised in ANY way. So, let's see girls....I've decided that I can't gamble with my health, so won't stay there if I'm still miserable after I came back next week...

    Hi to you lovely mummas and sending you all big hugs!!!

    For my other lovelies TTC, millions of buckets of babydust to you all, and super duper sticky vibes too xxxxxxxx

    Hope everyone has a good week next week

    Love always B xxxx

    Two lines!

    Hi girls, especially DD (since we shared the experience a month apart and knows my journey).

    I don't know if you remember me but I just wanted to wish everyone extra special luck this month. It has proven to be a great month for me, but I have really good vibes about Feb/March for everyone so "get jiggy with it".

    For those who don't know, I lost my little girl at 23 weeks to an IC in Sept 08. It was the most devastating experience of my life. I have also lost both of my parents and am only 27, so its been a particularly rough trot.

    But, I have great news.

    We found two lines late last night! I cannot believe it and I really mean that. You have no idea how much of a shock this is! I had NO symptoms, NO sore boobs, nothing! The only reason I did the test was because I bough the OTK and they have a free Preg Test inside them. So I thought I would amuse myself (I even did it at 6pm, 7 days before my period was due, as if I would ever see two lines at that time!!!). I even made an appointment with the fertility specialist for April 21 because I KNEW that this month wasn't the month for us and we had been trying for 5 months (4 excluding the first cycle after loss).

    Anyhow, Its still very early days and Im not due for my period for another 6 days. DH and I refuse to believe it till another 8 or so days and a blood test. (have done three, all are positive but very faint).

    As you all know, from our experiences - its important not to tell family and friends too early for fear of something happening. But I wanted to tell someone and why would I be concerned to share it with you girls when we've all been there together?

    So there it is - you all know before our family and friends! LOL

    I wish you all so much luck, to go through what we have been through I think we all need to remind ourselves how strong and resilient we all are. Women are amazing!

    Love Joselyn xxx
