BFP 2013

Hi dildoos. I'm lurking here hoping for some good news from ads. Sorry you have had a rough 6 months 25 months are you trying for dd number 5?

Ads I really don't think the cheapies are reliable - might be worth getting frer so you know one way or the other... I really hope the clear blue was in the know!!

"Fixed-smile summer" - love it!! Just been chatting to DH about our ttc woes and he said he didn't see the point in talking about it. Not even between ourselves. Certainly not with friends/ strangers. Madness. I can't seem to think/talk about anything else... I was due on 22 July before we found out our baby had T21. Will be heartbreaking when royal baby fever starts for earnest. Argh.

May I join you guys pls? Been out of the loop for 6 months as feeling sorry for myself but have cheered the hell up and back on form!
Ttc 25 months, bfp 23/6/13, DD5
Hope this is ok if I sit back with you ladies? X

Ill keep my fx for you adsum, is the line still there on the cb? Why don't you believe it? I've always found the cheepies rubish

I've had just the odd twinge here and there, no spotting just occasional brown mucus- a bit like wht I get before af! Will try another Internet cheapie first thing but am convinced is just usual pre-af shenanigans so not getting hopes up!

How is everyone else?

Hi ads. Sorry about the faint clearblue nightmare. Is it possible you didn't leave enough time inbetween pees when you did the Internet cheapy?

Your clearblue one was at 5.47am and the Internet cheapy post was only 1 1/2 hours later. How are you doing are you still cramping?

Well I'm getting cramps now so prob not long til af here - cant believe what a rollercoaster today has been already and it's only half 7!

Oh ads, is there any chance the internet cheapie wouldn't have picked up on it yet? 11dpo is still early and the spotting is early. Is that normal for you?
When I tested at 14dpo the cheapie still only had a faint line even when the digital read 2-3 weeks. I was about to throw it away when I glimpsed a faint pink line. I wouldn't give up all hope just yet.

I can't believe it - false alarm

Just tried an Internet cheapie (the red lines rather than blue) and definite negative, and am having some spotting too

I would never have used clearblue if I didn't have a spare from my accidental purchase last month (thought had picked up digis) - I HATE THEM!!!!!!

Hey ladies,
I think I'm about 11dpo and there may be a faint line but its a clearblue and I can't decide if its real!! Argh! It's so early and DH not awake to ask either... MUST try and get back to sleep...

Ps Kerry really hoping your wrong about the tube... I'll be symptom spotting too and trying to stay sane.... Nothing at the moment at all!!

Thanks so much thingy for the info.... Will keep going with the dtd then! And it really is such great news for you. Hope you are feeling ok?

Res - I know... We have a whole summer of baby hysteria ahead. Although its I think I find pregnant women much harder than the actual babies.....

Hi guys. Another birth announcement today. Sigh. Third in 3 weeks and Royal baby fever hasn't started in earnest yet. It's gonna be a fixed-smile summer!

Hi flohs. So sorry to hear about your loss. Hopefully you can find some support and reasurrance on here. This thread has really helped me during the last stressful year of TTC.
I followed SMEP exactly last cycle and it worked! However we have tried similar patterns to SMEP before (but not exactly) and it didn't work for us. We previously tried every other day, every third day, 4 days in a row etc. What might have helped is carrying on past the obvious fertile stage which SMEP encourages. We would always stop too early but honestly I think we just got lucky.
The only other thing that could have influenced it was organic food. We had been eating that for 3 months.
Oh, that cycle I didn't get much warery or EWCM at all. So I wouldn't worry too much about all of that either.
Good luck in your 2ww, you too kerry.
auntie how is your 2ww going?
Hello everyone else.

Welcome flohs!! We need some new faces around here.

Wow kerry - that's a lot of dtd! I've got everything crossed for you. Personally I'm not sure about OPK or SMEP.... Found it pretty stressful and my OPK's are still showing positive. Have no idea what that means! Grapefruit Juice and Mucinex - that sounds good - have you noticed a difference? What exactly are they for? When are you testing Kerry?

Ps Thingy that's amazing news on the bfp... Saw you on the SMEP thread! Incredible! Is it the first time you did and did you follow it to the wire?

Hi guys.... Been stalking this feed for a while and you seem all seem really nice! Please may I join? I've been trying for a year. I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks in February but haven't had any success since then. Finding it a bit tough to be honest. Kerry i noticed your comments about your brother and it struck such a cord with me. In the last month four of my best friends have announced they are pregnant 'without even trying' and it's been a real kick to the stomach. We've just finished trying the SMEP but stumbled one of the nights so not that hopeful. Two week wait begins.

Hmm, does seem a bit odd that he asked you to choose. They suggest the short for older patients or those who haven't responded well to the long in the past but I don't know the scientific basis for this reasoning.

Did you get advice?

The reason I ask is because the doc asked me what I prefer and I said short but I only said that because I didn't want to take all the drugs but of course I would do it if it got me what I wanted.

I'm waiting for him to call me back because I want them to advise me what is right for my situation, not my preference. Does that make sense? OH thinks I'm being neurotic but it's this is too important to not do it properly or without thought.

Short cause I'm an old hag! Was on 450 Menopur from CD2 to CD13.
