Well AF is not here as of yet, tested yesterday BFN so will just have to wait and see. :) cd 31 the day so af due....

sevendwarves · 16/04/2011 09:20

Sorry cookie, hope your scan goes ok though.

Good luck to everyone else POAS this weekend, hopefully there'll be lots of BFP's.

BlueCrane · 16/04/2011 07:16

Hope all's well with everyone this morning and here's for a good weekend POAS Grin

I tried a digi out this morning and it said 'pregnant' so it's finally starting to sink in now...stupid doctor causing me to doubt the lines! Though I must say seeing it in words is rather more comforting than looking for lines!

cookie sorry to hear about AF Sad Hope all goes well on Monday!

Hi guys thanks for your messages of support, will post back once I hear. Spidookly & MickyLee fx for the next few days..xx

Oh no, first orange, now cookie - my down-the-back mates :(

Best of luck cookmeister - let us know how you get on next week.

MickyLee · 15/04/2011 19:33

Oh cookie AF came really early for you too :( Good luck with the scan and please keep us posted.

orangehead · 15/04/2011 19:19

Oh sorry cookie. Hope your scan goes ok. Come and join me on the jan bus

cookiemonster100 · 15/04/2011 19:16

Hey chicks!
I am out the witch got me early this month. Had to go the docs as i have had pains in my left handside for a few days. We think a cycst might have ruptured. Got a scan on monday the hospital to find out. She also had my blood test results which shows a low level of progestrone whic she says she can give me something (Clomid?).
Good luck with the testing this weekend!!
I will check in later on this weekend to see how you all go fx!!

BlueCrane · 15/04/2011 18:47

That's all very interesting spidookly I took the tests because I thought they might need to see them for 'proof' of the bfp...she said the lines weren't dark enough and to come back in a week's time with another test and then pretty much showed me the door Shock i was rather upset as you can imagine! Feeling rather stronger now and would really like to go and stick a whole bag full of bfp tests under her nose and remind her that they've all got my urine on at the same time but that would just be far too expensive Grin xstitch I didn't realise about the battery with the digi ones, though it makes sense - thank you for that! TBH I may just go back and see a different doc on Monday and get the whole thing moving as really can't be doing with the silly doc again next week! or I might be able to self refer online so will look into that.

spidookly am v impressed at your testing stats! Also v interested in your comments about post bfp testing...a good perspective!

orangehead · 15/04/2011 18:01

I agree Spidookly, my first pregnacy I went to the docs fully expecting them to do they own test but he said no need positive is a positive, end of.

spidookly · 15/04/2011 17:47

BlueCrane did I miss something where your doctor said you weren't pregnant because they line wasn't dark enough on your test?! ShockShock

A line is a line according to my doctor, who is also a relative and totally brilliant. Your doc sounds like a ninny.

Did she ask you to bring used pregnancy tests to an appointment? You know that a line from a BFP can fade entirely after an hour or two?

The result is only valid during the recommended time. It works both ways - BFPs that disappear still count as BFPs and ones that appear too late don't count.

Sorry you're having all this hassle :(

I feel the same way about continued testing post-BFP as I do about early testing - it just creates stress and hassle where you need to be trying to minimise it and enjoy TTC/being pregnant.

I used 2 Boots own for DD1 (had to do 2nd one just to be sure :o), and 1 for DD2.

That's a total combined test tally of 3 pregnancy tests for 2 babies. I've done 0 tests so far this time. There's no need for all this constant weeing on sticks and I'm surprised at a GP for encouraging it and stressing you out over the thickness of the line.

Anyway, I hope you're having a nice weekend enjoying the terrifying and exciting first few weeks after BFP :) :)

orangehead · 15/04/2011 17:44

fx for you deafworm

peapop · 15/04/2011 17:36

Hi all, just checking into the new thread! Smile
Pretty sure AF is on it's way for me, same sore boobs as last month and cannot stop eating!! Have been in a huff all day too for no reason Sad

Karbea · 15/04/2011 16:42

Hello I had a big temp drop this morning, so I reckon the dream is nearly over for this month...
Nearly the weekend though!!!!!

MickyLee · 15/04/2011 14:51

orange sorry about AF turning up. At least you could enjoy your wine guilt free last night.

vegas funny you should say that about ovulating twice. I have just been thinking that about myself a minute ago. The reason is on three seperate occassions over this cycle I have had pains in my left ovary and EWCM!! Then I went to google and some study discovered that woman can ovulate 2/3 times in one cycle and that may the the real reason for twins!! Dam you google for contaminating my brain even more while TTC.

xstitch · 15/04/2011 14:44

blue remember the line does not have to be as dark as the control line. It even says that on the test instructions. TBH I think your GP is being a tit and very unfair on you. I will confess to having done about 8 tests Blush Only the one I did yesterday as an experiment after reading about your GP are the 2 lines remotely the same and 2 of mine were digital tests one saying pregnant 1-2 weeks and a week later pregnant 2-3. Just remember the digital ones only show their results for about 24hrs before the batter gives out so keep one for your appointment day so you can show it Wink

BlueCrane · 15/04/2011 14:38

spidookly they're definitely lines but just not as dark as the control line IYSWIM and after my doc yesterday said they weren't dark enough it made me a little nervous about the whole thing...even though I had two BFP pee sticks with me to show her...one FR and one Tesco and a whole bag of IC's but didn't show her those Blush Everyone on here has always said 'a line is a line' but my silly doc was being awkward about them!! Angry Just been into town and bought my digi sticks for Sunday / next week!

PS orange sorry about AF Sad
PPS spidookly hope the hangover feeling turns out to be for a good reason Wink

spidookly · 15/04/2011 12:41

Why are you all calling them feint lines? Confused

Feint as in the narrowest lines in ruled copybooks?

CD24 - still feel hungover. did not drink last night.

scuffle · 15/04/2011 10:23

seven Its a knockout sounds awesome!

scuffle · 15/04/2011 10:22

Hola Ladies, thought I'd check in. Congrats Seven and Blue!

My AF is due today or tomorrow. According to OPKs didnt OV until day 17 so hoping it comes later if anything just to make sure LP is long enough (well hoping it doesn't come at all reallyWink)
Was feeling really hopeful earlier in the week as had horrible cramps from sunday to tuesday which is highly unusual and thought it could be implantation. However got really cranky with DH last night, so sure I am PMSing. Also POAS.. couldn't resist.. and there was nothing.Blush

I so wanted a 2011 baby. Why did I wait so long to TTC!Angry

sevendwarves · 15/04/2011 09:48

It has sunk in but I still can't believe I managed to conceive so quickly after DS took such a long time. I had to tell my best friend yesterday as I'm going on her 'Its a Knockout' hen weekend at the end of May and she's struggling with numbers. They said they could go as low as 6 people but it would be very tiring with that few people, there will now only be 5 as I won't be able to join in being hit with inflatables!

Thankfully she said she still wants me to go and will look for something else instead.

BlueCrane · 15/04/2011 09:32

That's interesting seven ...partly why I'm holding off on the digi for the moment as I can't face it saying 'not pregnant' after my run in with the docs yesterday! Would prefer to wait until I know hcg high enough to get the right answer IYSWIM Smile How are you doing though? Has it sunk in yet? I have an equally clear albeit still feint line on FR (wednesday) and Tesco (Thursday).

sevenfrustrateddwarves · 15/04/2011 09:24

Sorry AF got you orange.

Blue just thought I'd let you know that I done a CB digital as well on Wednesday (8 days after AF due) which said 'not pregnant' despite having 4 feint BFP's. They're obviously not even as sensitive as Tesco or Asda tests. My 2 FR's were the clearest lines by far though.

Deafworm · 15/04/2011 08:41

suppose i should put myself on here really!
