Hi everyone - I've started the new thread as our original one is nearly full.

I really hope that this is the one where we all get our BFPs and don't have to experience any more heartache.

Omg another 2 bfp's, huge congrats blol and GaryB!!!! Here's to the B's. Wishing yous a h & h pg. (seriously need to get a b in the name)

Sorry thunder cats on the bfp. It just takes time.

Kitty bump I had lots of what you describe and got it again with first af.

Peanut liking your new name. I'm on cd 21 at moment. If its not a bfp next week af would be welcome also as it would mean a normal cycle. Good luck with the dtd fest!!!!

Fx for everyone else waiting on bfp's.

GaryBuseysTeeth · 26/11/2012 21:33

Bear, hope things are better between you & OH now?

(((bthunder)), hope you get your bfn soon,
Glad you have your bfn kittyb, I got my bfn on day 2 of mc & continued bleeding for a week after that.

As I've gone from mc to bfp without af in between will the GP be likely to want me to go for an early scan?
I'll do a digi tomorrow, and if it's still moving along in 2 weeks, phone the GP then (unless i have another mc, in which I'll see them asap)...

KittyBump · 26/11/2012 20:58

Hiya and wooohooh for Blol and GaryB Grin
and for me as I got a BFN! Sorry you didn't get one thundercats but I did start to mc on Oct 14th so it feels like a long time coming to me.
Now just to wait for AF, think i'll definitely be waiting as I'm still getting brown blood and weird stringy shit so I want to get a period to flush it all out. Hope nobody is eating their tea whilst reading this :)

BelissimaLol · 26/11/2012 18:50

I think it can take a month for a bfn. Thund you were quite far along so it may take longer Sad
Hope it ends soon!!!
I'm trying and failing not to panic!

andadietcoke · 26/11/2012 18:17

Ibelieveinpink when was your mc? I'm still waiting too. Maybe we'll get a nice BFP for a new year's present Smile

Thundercatsarego · 26/11/2012 17:40

Are you waiting til after af comes to ttc again, pink?

Thank you for the poas advice, I'll try to stay positive for a bit while longer (not literally)

IBelieveInPink · 26/11/2012 17:25

Thunder I had a faint one at 14 days. Give it a week or so and it will all be gone, don't worry.

Congrats to the bfps! Am jealous but in a very happy way :)

No af has arrived yet for me, so looks like I won't be getting my Christmas BFP. Boo hiss.

Thundercatsarego · 26/11/2012 16:20

Ahh thanks bear. It's a bit bizarre hating a bfp eh?!

I guess that getting past tomorrow will be a good milestone for you? I hope it whizzes past without too much stress!

BraveLilBear · 26/11/2012 15:32

Boo to the BFP Thundercats. If it's faint though it must be going in the right direction? Must be so frustrating though Thanks

Thundercatsarego · 26/11/2012 15:21

Hey lol, how will you tell DH? I told MN lot first time too- ha!!

I had ERPC on the 13th Nov, so 13 days ago. Grrrr!!

BelissimaLol · 26/11/2012 15:20

How many days has it been thunder since you started bleeding? I have been told it can take ages Sad
I'm still in freaking out mode. Did a frer. Have one more for tomorrow and a digi.
And need to tell DH too!!!! Told you lot first!!!

Thundercatsarego · 26/11/2012 15:03

Very faint bfp here too....I was hoping for bfn Sad

messtins · 26/11/2012 13:31

Congratulations Bellisima and GaryB! On a very positive roll now....

andadietcoke · 26/11/2012 12:38

Wow!!! Congratulations to both!

I so need to get me a 'b' name!!

BraveLilBear · 26/11/2012 09:59

Oh, and do enjoy the DTDing Grin

BraveLilBear · 26/11/2012 09:59

Hi Bombastic that's not a bad idea... I could certainly try. Altho mc was on Oct 15th, so not that dramatic... Not phoned up yet was thinking of phoning tomorrow or Thursday. There's a self-referral system here (East Yorks) but didn't want to call too early. I'm 5+1 ish (by ov) or 6 (by lmp) and I wanted to get past 5+2 before taking steps... Will do another digi on Thursday to see if I get 3+ but would worry that if I left it that late I might not get a booking appt before Xmas.

BombasticPeanut · 26/11/2012 09:53

bear have you been to your booking appointment yet? If not, when you go just tell the midwife you don't know exactly what your dates are because of dodgy post-mc cycles. Then they'll send you for an early dating scan for free xxx

BombasticPeanut · 26/11/2012 09:43

I don't do whispers, I'd rather hope for the best! Congrats blol and gary! This is a good month! Can only hope the luck continues to rub off...

Have started dtd in earnest, it's only cd11 but can't hurt eh? Here's hoping I'm joining you BFP ladies in a couple of weeks better do or I can sense a massive breakdown on the horizon

xxxx

Thundercatsarego · 26/11/2012 09:36

Hey brie, yes excited sounds like a much better idea than terrified! I'm so excited for all these bfp-ers! What a cheering week to give us all hope! Now I'm just worried about you all leaving me here!

Won't name-change til I'm in the rat race but blundercats does have a certain ring to it...

BraveLilBear · 26/11/2012 09:35

OMG! GaryB AND Blol Wowsers!

Love the positive thinking Brie - OH and I had a mini bust-up this weekend cos I was looking into getting a reassurance scan. I said I'd rather have the reassurance and then I would feel even more positive and be able to relax. He said I should relax and feel positive and everything will be fine anyway. I should 'wait like everyone else'.

If I do wait like everyone else (currently thinking of ways to release £80 from a very tight budget) my 12 week scan should be around the same time as yours...

Any joy with the duty sex James? Fx for a fast 2ww for you!

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

BrieMonster · 26/11/2012 09:20

Great news garyb! Wow what a morning!

Hi blundercats-to be... I'm fine, got a 2-3 a couple of days after the 1-2 so that reassured me for a couple of days. Am going to try and just be excited and careful as opposed to terrified and indifferent. Easier said than done. I thought an early scan was a given after mc but not here it seems. 16 jan is my 12 week scan, seems like forever away!

Thundercatsarego · 26/11/2012 09:17

Grin gary!

GaryBuseysTeeth · 26/11/2012 09:16

Congrats Blol!!

I have a bfp too, will do a digital on Tuesday, then another in 2 tuesday's time to make sure things are going along. It would seem just having a 'B' in your names is enough this month!

Fingers crossed for you James! MC cycle I had loads of symptoms from about 3dpo, but had nothing this month...I do start poas about 8dpo!

Kitty, if you're a fan of marmite that's full of iron. Agree with messtins on the bunging up qualities of taking prescription iron tablets, I took the Tesco own brand ones when I was last pregnant & they were enough to bring my iron up to acceptable levels.

Thundercatsarego · 26/11/2012 09:06

How are you doing, brie?

BrieMonster · 26/11/2012 09:00

Awwww superb blol!!!
I see now that's it's not really the done thing to congratulate but I'm so stoked!! C'mon the B's!
