I thought I'd start the new thread and earn some brownie points with the posifrickintivity Gods... Grin

I think implantation bleeding can be fairly heavy lovely, fingers crossed its something like that!

I had a chemical pg about 2 years ago and I had a digi come up as 1-2 weeks, then later the same day came up as not pg. I then started bleeding that night.

However, to look on the negative side, if you we're a couple of weeks along, the hormones may be in your system for a bit longer. I reckon only blood work will give you a definitive answer... Xxx

OveranxiousUnderated · 26/05/2013 21:50

Thanks for the good luck. Think I definitely need it! I'm just stuck in limbo land.

I bought CB digitals earlier as I just had to see and it came up pregnant straight away, 2-3 weeks. I was expecting 1-2 to be honest. I don't know what to think, waiting until Tues am when I can book in at Drs! I was thinking it's a chemical pregnancy but everything I've read on them refers to 'faint positive before period that disappears' cant find much on 'strongish bfp AFTER period'.

Have spent most of the day googling! Sad

Sending lots of luck to everybody else.

Thank you guff I know you are right x

Good luck to you - hope you have a good bank holiday and thanks for the advice - ill go out in the morning xxxx

GuffSmuggler · 26/05/2013 21:15

Emki I doubt running will make any difference, will prob make you feel relaxed and healthy! I don't think it's very easy to dislodge a healthy pregnancy (fingers crossed).

No AF here yet, but my cycle is probably still all over the place so don't think that means much. Going to hold out POAS as long as possible, luckily our local chemists will be shut here tomorrow so that forces me to wait at least another day. So silly I just feel so scared to find out.

Emki · 26/05/2013 20:44

Congrats bunty fab news Smile

Been away a bit been driving over to France - arrived this afternoon - lovely to get away but dd is not well so taking her to doctor tomorrow

Anyway question for you all - obviously I was dtd when OV this month - I'm also as fat as a cat after 2 mc and comfort eating .... I want to go for a run while I'm in the countryside .... Haven't run for ages ... Would running for a 20 mins a day affect possibility of pregnancy? Am I being very obsessed?

FYI ill be awaiting AF next Monday .... Anyone else POAS next Friday/weekend? Xxx

Thundercatsarego · 26/05/2013 20:36

Congrats bunty!

DearlyDepartedMrsFinch · 26/05/2013 20:34

Wow, bunty Grin

BakingBunty · 26/05/2013 17:16

Thanks all for the congrats. Hasn't really sunk in yet and I am terrified. But very happy and grateful, and wishing you all BFPs very soon.

alicebear · 26/05/2013 13:55

Congratulations bakingbunty really fab news.
Guff are you going to poas? Fingers crossed for a second BFP.
Hope you're coping bakingtins it must still feel very raw.
Hope everyone enjoying the bank hol.
I'm cd 15 & got +ve opk today so soon to start the dreaded 2ww. Have got quite a lot of nice things going on so hopefully it will go fast & maybe I can add an extra BFP to the June tally...

CamomileHoneyVanilla · 26/05/2013 13:07

Afternoon folks.

Congratulations Bunty - fab news. And it does give the thread a much-needed boost to hear.

Overanxious - no advice to give at all but hope you get things sorted soon.

DDMF - I also love house hunting. We're not really quite ready to buy yet as ours isn't even on the market and we've stuff to do to it before we could put it on. Plus we both need to get jobs where we're relocating to so its kind of a medium-term plan (we're moving back 'home' so we're near our parents for if when we actually manage to start a family). I'm kind of dreading the whole thing to be honest - but at least nosing around other people's homes is always fun! I saw one yesterday we probably would be happy buying, and it was within our price range, so that was fairly positive so early on. I find being a grown up a bit of a headache still despite being 31.

Sorry about the BFN Floweroct*. How many dpo are you?

Rainbow you are not alone on the less sane side. I'm right there with you. Am symptom spotting like a crazy lady. Interpreting everything as 'something'; I even had the thought at approx 4:30pm on Friday off 'ooooo, I'm tired and craving chocolate, could it be...' before realising thats just me every Friday. Also had a random 'I just really want a baby' sob in the car yesterday. Totally came out of nowhere in an otherwise nice day so I fear it is a sign of impending AF. Is anyone else at their most susceptible to a proper full-on sob while driving?

Also thinking of you tins. Hope you're being looked after. xxx

Misspositivity · 26/05/2013 10:56

overanxious just had a look at other thread. I would give the gp a call and get some guidance. Probably a chemical - I do know an obs consultants who cancelled her own scan because she had such a heavy bleed early on that pregnancy is now walking about. Best to get some bloods done and see what's happening. Good luck to you.

OveranxiousUnderated · 26/05/2013 10:41

Congrats Baking Grin

I too have a BFP although its not looking good...I only came off my period yesterday Sad Ive posted a thread about it. Have any of you ladies experienced this?

GuffSmuggler · 26/05/2013 10:41

Yay!! Congrats bakingbunty! Just what this thread needed a good BFP Grin

Misspositivity · 26/05/2013 10:34

bakingbunty. Congrats on your BFP. Great news

dearlydeparted Hope your stalemate ends soon. DP sounds like he just needs some time.

flowerot June is the big month for BFP on this thread so keep positive.

Floweroct · 26/05/2013 09:54

Congrats bunty!

Bfn here this morning just so rubbish!!

Sapphireday · 26/05/2013 09:02

Congratulations Bakingbunty! It's about time we had some good news on this thread.

BakingBunty · 26/05/2013 08:34

Um, late Friday offering here... BFP!!

I am beyond shocked. Over the moon, a bit terrified, really sorry for jumping the queue, and shocked.

DearlyDepartedMrsFinch, I am so sorry about your stalemate and am keeping everything crossed for you at your DH just needs a bit of time (a very little bit!)

DearlyDepartedMrsFinch · 25/05/2013 22:13

Plan is a good idea, Bunty. I have no hope of BFP this cycle as DH and I are currently at a bit of a stalemate over TTC. He wants to wait. I don't. It's crap. So, I am taking off the pressure completely until the first AF is out of the way before stating my case seducing him.

Your small ginger room mate made me chuckle Grin

BakingBunty · 25/05/2013 21:03

Dearlydepartedmrsfinch, I am also on day 30 of the WTF cycle, and also driving myself demented. We have dtd precisely once since MC, so it's extremely unlikely that I'm pregnant... But of course I can't help hoping. Too nervous to POAS as would be gutted if it was a BFN and terrified if it was a BFP. Yep, I really need a slap!

We have decided to remember our baby by sponsoring a child through Plan. I think it's going to give me a lot of comfort.

Off on a night away tomorrow which I'm really looking forward to. Though won't be terribly romantic as we will have a small ginger room mate in the form of DS Grin.

DearlyDepartedMrsFinch · 25/05/2013 20:02

Hope your AF arrives soon, MrsE. Did you ever get a negative HPT after your miscarriage? Not sure what the doctor will suggest in such a case. Perhaps a scan to check all is okay. Fingers crossed for you.

My AF is still not here despite much ANGER last week. But it is still only CD30 on WTF cycle so I am trying not and failing to obsess.

Camomile, enjoy your house hunting. I LOVE house hunting, but am currently in a forever or stay-for-a-long-time-as-the-schools-are-great home, so I must live vicariously through you.

Rainbow, such a lovely idea about the picture. I have still not decided what to do to remember our baby. I'm thinking of maybe making a rainbow cake to mark a 'birthday' so then DC1 and DC2 can get some enjoyment out of a sad day. And maybe make it into something a bit special. But would that be miscarriage day, or due day? And if it was due day, would it be date from LMP or date that I thought was right? Questions, questions... I have hung a windchime in the apple tree outside. We can hear it from our bedroom window and it makes me think of the baby (as if I need a reminder...). Did anyone else do anything to remember their loss?

Enjoy your hols, Katatonic

Hoping for you, Guff

And still remembering you tins and wishing you strength x

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 25/05/2013 19:44

Guff I really think you should POAS today or tomorrow. That counts as late Friday offerings! Wait until Monday and then you are testing early for next week and will be eligible for fish slapping! Grin

OP posts:
GuffSmuggler · 25/05/2013 19:21

I've felt really tired and a bit sicky today. I'm either getting ill, AF is coming or... could it be.

GAH don't know how much longer I can withhold POAS. AF due tomorrow.

Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. Curry being delivered here shortly nom nom nom x

Misspositivity · 25/05/2013 13:15

rainbow that's a lovely thing to do. Hope you have good day

RainbowConnections · 25/05/2013 11:58

I've crossed over to the less sane side of TTC. Yesterday I POAS 5 days post ovulation. Spent the week being cool and calm, then woke up yesterday convinced I could defy the HPT powers.

Shame there were no Friday BFPs but good to see some posifrickintivity. Roll on June...

We're off to seaside tomorrow to buy a kiddies print to hang in new conservatory. We've got one that we bought at same gallery the day of 20 week scan for DS so we're going to get another to remember the baby we would have been having. My DH (less sentimental) is hoping we'll squeeze in Star Trek movie at cinema too!

Hope you have a great holiday Katatonic.

Hope you all have lovely weekends.

Thundercatsarego · 25/05/2013 10:15

Grin saggy that's made me chuckle.

Oo cam house hunting is great! Are you in a position to buy?

Nice one about the holiday kat

mrsexcited I know there is no logic to this, but my first af came after a good dtd session....worth a try?!

I'm up for posifrickintivity for June bfp. I'm going cold turkey from the opks this month and just going to dtd as much as we can. Af expected not going to arrive 17th June.
