Thanks, everyone. I'm excited but terrifed too. GrinConfused Still have AF type cramps, couldn't sleep at all last night. Told DH and he's really happy, but decided we're not going to tell anyone else for a good few weeks yet. I want to make sure its a) in the right place this time and b) going to stick.

Piglet that's great news, though I know exactly how you're feeling. I've already put a stack of pantyliners and white toilet roll in my handbag, just so I can check a million times a day!

Olis I do sometimes get really bad ov pains, much worse that AF and higher up. Its worth seeing your GP anyway though, its something they should be aware of.

Bump sorry your pains are still no better. I really hope they manage to sort something out for you soon.

Loup hang out til AF due if you can (says she who didn't!). I tested on Monday and got a definate negative and I was so depressed, almost didn't bother to test again at all. And even yesterday am the asda one was pretty inconclusive.

CollieandPup · 14/05/2011 00:26

lily Yippeeeeeee Yay Grin Grin Grin Grin that's AMAZING news soooooooo pleased. Can't believed I missed it!!!! I had a good feeling about you this month!!

piglet yay for you too fx they both stick.

Waves to everyone else. Got to get to sleep, up for work at 6.30 Sad

pigletmania · 13/05/2011 23:32

I have a BFP this week yay, but not getting hopes up too much as the last two ended up in a MC. Keep knicker checking, and thinking is this the day that I will MC. Evey little twinge I am thinking is this it uh oh MC. Hopefully I wont be on here weeping again Smile

Loup23 · 13/05/2011 22:32

Yay lily fantastic news, so pleased for you!!

Sorry to hear about the cramps bump glad you're getting scanned but how annoying for you, am sending sticky bean thoughts and hoping the pain gets better. I am 6 or 7dpo and have held off POAS so far (so want to now as all excited by lilys news!) I have tests on order and will probably cave tuesday (10 or 11dpo)......excited and nervous at the same time!

olis hope you're ok - has the pain got any worse? Sorry I can't offer much advice, I get some twinges like stabbing pains around O but nothing else - big hugs, hope all is ok.

Waves to all lurkers i- hope everone has good weekends x

Blackkat · 13/05/2011 21:16

Lily YAY Grin Grin lovely news CONGRATULATIONS and with Mid Afternoon U - that's such a strong positive - fantastic news Grin Grin

Bump Hang in there.....

olismum23 · 13/05/2011 20:13

Omg! I am in agony its like very strong period pains is this normal when you ov? Its so sore is it a good thing/bad thing or should i call the doctor never really get periods this sore very confused?!

sorry not to name check any advice welcome.

Bumpwanted · 13/05/2011 17:33

Hi everyone!

Lily CONGRATS Grin Grin that is brilliant news!!!

Olis I too shall wish for a long LP for you (not that I really understand all that but I'll ask anyway...)

Loup how far along your 2ww are you? When are you testing?

Hi to Melies Cep and everyone else (your names are on the page before so I can't remember!)

No news here other than the cramping continues. Doctor and EPU are stumped. They don't know what it is and its pretty rare to have it this bad apparently. They said if the 5 week scan looks on track and I have no bleeding then its probably going to be fine....hmmm.....i have another scan at 8 weeks so it will be a long week (2 weeks 3 days to be exact) until then. Hoping the bean sticks so I can get a look at it!

Happy weekend xxxx

olismum23 · 13/05/2011 17:24

slovenlydotcom · 13/05/2011 17:10

hello ladies! I have seen this thread title a few times ( am new to mumsnet)

I would like to send you all my best wishes- I have been there.

But could I ask, what does the 'tightie whities' of the title mean?

Apologies for barging in with something so silly Blush

best of luck to you all

slovenly x

cep · 13/05/2011 17:07

yay lily that's fantastic news. so so pleased for you. Grin Grin

lily06 · 13/05/2011 17:04

Ok, so I plumped for the cb digi in the end - only because I was so confused with the faint line this morning, and I think I would just be confused again with a line type. Also bought some more asda cheapies too.

I know I should have waited until tomorrow and used fmu, but caved in about 10 mins ago. CB digi says Pregnant 1-2 which I guess is more conclusive Shock

cep · 13/05/2011 16:48

delurks to say fx for fmu tomorrow lily

mel enjoy camping and paultons park, let me know what you think of peppa pig world.

meliesmummy · 13/05/2011 16:14

lily what colour is the line? I had an evaporation line once, it was sort of silver, and 'ghosty' if that makes sense? What colour is the line meant to be? Pink brands like fr and superdrug are the best type, less likely to have evaporation lines apparently! Fx for tomorrow then! :)

Great news Hadrian! Grin

Waves to blackkat and loup and everyone else!

We're on our way...just stopped for krispy kremes at the services (healthy i know but they haven't reached Swansea yet though so they are a proper treat!) I just drove dh's car for 2 hours which is always nerve wracking because it's automatic and it takes me ages to get used to it!

OP posts:
Loup23 · 13/05/2011 16:06

Oh everything crossed lily really hope there is a line and another BFP for this thread! x

lily06 · 13/05/2011 14:21

Hadrian really pleased all is ok - glad you had a scan and put your mind at rest.

Thanks for the recommendation, Loup, I think I'm going to get a FRER tonight and try in the morning. If that's good I'll get a digi for Sunday.

Blackkat that's interesting, I did wonder if the clomid and/or bromocriptine might affect it anyway.

Glad I'm not the only bin-raider around then! Depressed myself a bit when I read that a line can appear after 15 mins or so as the test dries out.....hmmmmm. Haven't even told DH as I think he would a) think I was mad and b) probably not be able to see the oh so faint line anyway!

Blackkat · 13/05/2011 13:55

Lily Smile A line is a line!!! My BFP showed up late on Clomid CD 31/32 I think. Might be worth trying another POAS tomorrow morning with FMU, til then will be keeping everything tightly crossed for you Grin

Loup23 · 13/05/2011 12:43

Great news hadrian hope that has helped out your mind at rest (a little bit) and hope all goes well, strong HB is great news!

I have to say lily as soon as I thought I saw a line I bought a FRER and did it mid-afternoon (all the while knowing I should wait for FMU) but just couldn't help it! It showed a BFP. Good luck - let us know.

hadrian · 13/05/2011 11:08

Hello all, just a quick note to say that I couldn't take the stress any more and booked myself in for a private scan which was this morning...all looking good so far Grin. All measurements spot on for 7+1 and a good strong heartbeat. Feeling relieved but am sure I've still got a lot more freaking out to do...

lily fx that this is your month. I am guilty of bin raiding too Blush. Given that AF was due yesterday I think I would throw caution to the wind, get down to the chemist and spash out on a CB digi!

olis am so impressed with your weight loss, how are you doing it?

Loup23 · 13/05/2011 10:41

roll on Wednesay melies and hope O day comes round soon. Have a fab time away this weekend. Fx the rain stays away.

lily I really hope the spotting is good news for you and that AF stays away, I have scrabbled through the bin on many an occassion! I got a BFP in Feb and it was only when I looked at an old HPT i saw a line, but they do say to disregard after a certain time. FRER were good for me, maybe buy a different branc and test tomorrow with FMU? Easier said than done! Good luck x

lily06 · 13/05/2011 09:55

Ok ladies, I need some advice here. CD 30 today, AF due yesterday and had cramps but no AF. Tiny amount of brown cm on wiping yesterday afternoon and evening, but almost invisible. This morning fully expected AF in full flow, but still nothing. Still a bit crampy, but not as much as yesterday. Now, my cycles have been exactly 28 days for the past three cycles, since starting on clomid. Tested on Monday CD26 and definate negative. Tested again this morning and negative, but had a shower then fished the stick back out the bin (please tell me I'm not the only one that does this!!) just to check and I think I saw the very faintest of lines, but perhaps this is outside the time that I'm supposed to read it. Line was so faint it almost wasn't there. Test was only an Asda cheapie, but supposed to be very sensitive. So, do I leave it until Sunday and test again with same Asda cheapie? Or do I raid the chemist tonight and buy one of every brand going and see if I get any lines???

meliesmummy · 12/05/2011 22:22

loup im in south Wales so 3 hour drive to Paultons hence the camping. Not much to suggest af is on the way out unfortunately! Last month was much heavier but at least that meant it was over faster. Oh well. I'll probably start on the opks on day 10 this month rather than 7 as it says in the box because that seems so early! So that means next Weds...bring it on!

Loup23 · 12/05/2011 22:06

Lovely to hear about your sticky out tum collie long may it continue!

Have a lovely time camping melies are you from that area? I went to Paultons loads growing up, loved it! Hope the sun shines for you and your AF lets up soon and you dont have to pack the mooncup! xx
