Hi Writerwannabe. Sorry I've been calling you winterwannabe all this time. x
Luxlisbon82. I have well sort of apologised once I'm not doing it again. Also I have the right to expect support and not not be put down either. x

Luxlisbon82 · 20/07/2013 23:02

.disparagingly. stupid keyboard.

Luxlisbon82 · 20/07/2013 23:00

No disrespect to you international, but writer has every right to pee on as many sticks as she wants and to discuss this with us if she so wishes.

As a woman ttc, I would hope that you would have the empathy to understand her reasons for doing so and see how the reassurance of a confirming line would mean a lot. I'm frankly shocked that you find it appropriate to comment so disparaginly on this, maybe try to be a little more understanding. We are here for support, not to put people down.

internationallove985 · 20/07/2013 22:40

sorry alone should have said along. I hate the way you can't edit these posts. x

internationallove985 · 20/07/2013 22:40

Also it's ignorant to my future bundle of joy to think that he/she is not going to come alone. B.T.W congratulations!!!!! x

internationallove985 · 20/07/2013 22:37

I'm not going to say too much as it is not my style to upset a pregnant women, but lets be honest you don't know my circumstances either and how much being pregnant will mean to me.

I am not trying to bring negativity. Perhaps it looked like I was a bit jealous in my last comment, and if it did then I apologise may be I am,do I dare say somewhat jealous. I don't think I think it's jealousy though it's more inferiority. but I shouldn't be as I might be pregnant myself, but I wont till after 1st August that's if A.F doesn't arrive. x

Writerwannabe83 · 20/07/2013 22:16

You don't know my circumstances and you don't know how much it means to me to be pregnant so I will pay for and take as many tests as I want to Grin

Absolutely NOTHING is going to bring me down from my high, so don't waste your time trying to bring negativity Smile Smile Smile

internationallove985 · 20/07/2013 22:08

No disrespect to you at all winterwannabe but I have to ask this "How many more times are you going to test before it finally sinks that you are pregnant,a positive test cannot be wrong, but then I don't know why I'm passing any comment because in short it's none of my business and besides I'm not paying for the tests. x

Writerwannabe83 · 20/07/2013 22:02

The next two I bought were BFPs too!!!

I've had 6 BFP's today and 2 positive OPKs too!!!

Woohoo!!!!!!

I totally can't believe it though!!!! Grin

Definitelysometime · 20/07/2013 21:53

WRITER!! Amazing news!!!! Congratulations!! I told you cheapest were rubbish - that's not morning pee either!! Grin Grin

Writerwannabe83 · 20/07/2013 18:28

I've just been to ASDA and bought another two (better quality) tests, one of which is a Clear Blue and they both showed BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Writerwannabe83 · 20/07/2013 16:42

I've just had two faint BFP lines on two separate brands of pregnancy tests!!! Grin

I'm not relying on just yet - but it has still made me a little bit excited!!!!

Tea1Sugar · 20/07/2013 16:36

Writer - If its just second month off mirena, don't be convinced that af will definitely arrive this weekend. Many people have very haphazard cycles for months after hormonal contraception. Sending you luck though Smile

Congraulations Definatleysometime. When is your little miracle due. xx

Definitelysometime · 20/07/2013 13:45

And thank you lux for the congrats! Your post really made me excited Smile..

Sorry to hear AF got you but does mean you're on track for August!

Have a lovely weekend all.

Definitelysometime · 20/07/2013 13:43

Sorry to hear you've had a difficult time writer. I really hope it happens for you soon. Def get a more sensitive test. It's rare to get a positive early, especially on a cheap test. I have two pregnant friends that both got BFN on the day AF was due and only got their BFP days later.

If not this month, it's still early days. Keeping fingers crossed for you.

I've bought another CB twin pack today so I can double check tomorrow!

And yes, internationally. I only got my BFP a few hrs ago and have already worked out what would be due date Confused

Asking for trouble!!

internationallove985 · 20/07/2013 13:07

Sorry should have said "Does anyone else do this. xx

internationallove985 · 20/07/2013 13:06

The first day of my last period was 4 July and my next period is due on 1st August so I guess I'm in my 2ww. I must confessed I have already worked out the due date of my little bundle (that's if I am pregnant) 10 April 2014 Does anyone do this. xx

Luxlisbon82 · 20/07/2013 12:13

Aw writer that seems like a nice healthy attitude, and you know what they say- 'healthy mind, healthy uterus'... they do say that right? Either way you've done all you can so all the peeing won't change the end result, I hope it's a positive on for you when you do test, fingers crossed x

Writerwannabe83 · 20/07/2013 11:19

Hi Tea1sugar

It is kind of our 2nd month. I had my Mirena removed at the end of May and when my first 'real' period arrived in June I was so happy as it meant, like you said, my body was working normally and so we could start TTC.

I just want it so desperately. The last 18 months of my life has been really tough due to health problems I've had with my heart and my epilepsy and all I was waiting for was for my conditions to stabilise so my Doctors would say I'm well enough to have a baby. When I got that 'go ahead' I actually cried Sad And so now the time is here I just can't bear the thought of it not happening for me. One of my best friends gave birth 2 weeks ago and my other best friend just had her 20week scan - I am happy for them but I feel jealous deep down too.

and Luxlisbon - you are right, I need to step away from the tests. I have thrown my remaining ones away and I'm not going to buy anymore either. If AF arrives this weekend then such is life and I will just start again afterwards.

Luxlisbon82 · 20/07/2013 11:03

Yeaaaaah, definitely! Lovely news, pleased for you! You can't get a false positive, so the other test is prob less sensitive. Congrats! I'm sure the symptoms will kick in soon.

I'm really glad I didn't test, af arrived bang on time 28 days after my withdrawal bleed from last pill, so glad I didn't put myself through that rollercoaster as it was unlikely to happen straight off the pill. Glad things seem to be in order here and body is doing what it should. Bring on August!

Writer- step away from the tests and give yourself a break if it's stressing you out, if not pee away and I hope you get your results!

Tea1Sugar · 20/07/2013 10:42

Writer - is it your first month? If so please don't torment yourself so much so early on. I just had my first month off the pill and tbh delighted that my period returned so quickly as I know I'm "working". So if your Af does arrive see it as a good thing Smile

OP posts:
Writerwannabe83 · 20/07/2013 10:22

I just don't know what to think - the tests I'm using are cheap, flimsy pieces of card and crap, haha Grin - I'm going to buy some better ones today, proper plastic ones with windows and everything Grin

My period is due tomorrow-ish so if I haven't got a BFP by now then I don't see how I ever will seeing as you are supposed to be able to get results up to 4 days prior to AF.

I don't know why I keep tormenting myself by testing Sad

Definitelysometime · 20/07/2013 10:17

Thanks writer - cant quite believe it! You're still in the game. What test are you using? I got BFP on clear blue digital. Did a Tesco digital with next pee and got BFN. Hoping the first one is the accurate one?. Will be buying some more today, that's for sure!

Weird thing is that I don't feel any different at all. No sore boobs, tiredness, thirstiness. Nowt. Really hope it's not too good to be true...

Writerwannabe83 · 20/07/2013 09:53

OMG - that's brilliant !!!

Congratulations!!!

Another BFN for me sadly Angry
