murraycod and starbright.......girls I'm so sorry. It's been a long year hasn't it? I'm starting to feel drained when I think back to all that we've done this year.....you both are in my thoughts. plse draw strength from whichever source is on offer (my gorgeous labrador gave me good cuddles when I needed them last night)
take care x

Ive been a bit vague the past few days dh is saying Im definitly UTD, but Im sure last time I felt a bit the same *sigh* waiting to see what happens now.

i did it, i caved in and peed on a stick. Naturally it was a BFN otherwise I'd be dancing all over the shop. Rang DH who is in a call centre God knows where in Delhi, got a line with loads of delay, really rubbish call. Wish I'd a) not done it b) if I had done it, waited until the first wee of the morning c) waited before ringing him. Oh well, live and learn.

Ironically, the dog is almost in season......................

sorry Leabie and LM. Bumm-err. thinking of you - LM, get good cuddles from your labby.

Tracy - sorry m'dear you're not feeling too great and the POAS was -ve. I read your post in other thread....you'll be swamped with your new job real soon!


afm - well I spent a lot of yesterday deliberating, but eventually POAS and posted on other thread (you know the one I mean) that it had been +ve. Not singing and dancing yet, we looked at it together, had a hug and it was quite low key. Last time it was +ve but the hcg was going up way to slowly and wasn't a viable pregnancy. soooo gonna do another today (naturally compare lines) then probably one on the 5th (day of bt)...and wait with bated breath for the 6th phonecall.

Hi Girls,

Tracy- I'm so sorry to hear your news. My God this is hard, isn't it? All the best with the new job and hopefully next time will do the trick.

LondonMiss- What a bummer for you too, Honey. What are your plans from here?? When is DH home? I hope it's soon- I can't imagine how much worse this is without him there. xx

Paula- Yep, we're nearly there! I'm doing a FS-approved HPT tomorrow morning and then will have the follow-up BT on Friday. How are you feeling? Are you planning to POAS??

airline- Honey, that sounds really positive! (Literally!!). I totally understand your hesitance at celebrating too early but it does sound like this could be it. I have everything crossed for you. xxx

AFM- I'm still not feeling particularly positive. I just can't help but feel this isn't our time. I'm not sure if it is a self-preservation mechanism kicking in or intuition but I guess time will tell... AF hasn't reared her ugly head yet so I guess there's still hope. The plan is to POAS tomorrow using a sensitive test provided by the clinic so at least that will be pretty definitive.

Hope you're all well. xxx

Hey airline- I'm still here, just keeping a low profile because I've been feeling pretty crappy and didn't want to be publicly negative and bring everyone down! I'm really excited about your news and full of admiration at your self-control. I think I'd be doing backflips. Can't wait to hear more good news. xx

Coral- thanks for sharing all the things you did in this magical cycle. Great inspiration. Can I ask, was there anything different (symptoms) that you noticed in your 2WW that made you think, this could be BFP?

Tracy- I/m so sorry AF arrived. - go easy on yourself. Enjoy focussing on the new job.

Airline- Thanks hon. I just had a great counseling session and feel heaps better.

Sounds like you could have exciting news. I might have to start visiting the other thread, to keep up with the news! GL

London Miss- Big to you. I know exactly how you feel. sounds like me yesterday.

Leabie- I'm sorry you got a BFN.

Meg- GL with your test tomorrow.

AFM- As I said to airline, I just had a counseling session and it did me the world of good. I feel heaps better about the BFN. I've started cramping this afternoon, so am expecting AF soon. Due on Friday, but may start spotting tomorrow.

Hello ladies. I need you to tell me to cut it out. I'm doing my own head in examining everything in stupid detail. And everything could be more than one thing.

a) My back aches
could be i) a sign of AF approaching or ii) my ****e work chair or iii) I''m UTD
b) I've felt sick all day
could be i) I'm UTD or ii) something completely different - like I can't cook and DH is away and I've poisoned myself
c) the POAS has a feint line I have now decided
could be i) an evaporation line ii) I'm UTD
d) People smell on the tram
could be i) they are just smelly people ii) I'm thinking they smell cos I want to be UTD or iii) I am UTD.
or e) I'm sectionable and should be locked away in a darkened room with nobody mentioning symptoms, tests, POAS or anything!!!


AF due to arrive overnight Thursday so if you don't hear from me until then it's because I've taken myself out and shot myself because I'm going bloody MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!

London Miss,
I don't know weather to laugh or cry at your post.
I relate to all your comments except the one about a feint line.
I re-examined mine even 24 hrs later and there is def no second line.

I really really hope you are UTD and can get through this rough patch.
Keep strong!!!! You can do this!!!
Do you think you will POAS tomorrow?
