Thanks jelly and I actually missed out CDs 21 & 25 from my list Blush Haha!

Isean · 21/08/2013 10:06

Since I came off the pill in March, started stalking mumsnet and then joining buses it seems we started ttc about the same time, so I've always kept an eye on your progress and your posts always seem so similar to how I'm feeling! You're always so lovely and first to congratulate people on their BFPs, so positive towards people in their 2ww and seem just generally lovely, so I REALLY hope it's there for you too gilly! Thanks

JellyBeanDavey · 21/08/2013 10:03

Wow isean, that's a lot of dtd days Wink no wonder you have line!

Isean I doubt my "line" but I don't doubt yours!

That is, no 2 ways about it, a BIG FAT POSITIVE!

I've just looked at yours gilly and I can see a v v faint line, test again over the next few days and hopefully it will just keep getting stronger! Good luck!!!

I'm not even sure how many DPO I am, the app I've been tracking my cycles on indicated the most fertile days were CD10-CD15, I never used OPKs and although I kept an eye on CM I am not very experienced in that department (I have been trying to be very relaxed about the whole TTC thing as it was sending me a bit doolally!) I did notice there seemed to be more CM than normal, all month. We were on holiday for 2 weeks and were more relaxed so maybe that helped. Today is CD31 and we DTD on CD 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 19 and 28 (I think you can tell when we were on holiday Blush)
My last cycle was 37 days so I really had no idea when I would ovulate in this cycle, so decided I would use OPKs every day during next cycle as I didn't think anything would happen.

Anyway, I am VERY nervous about it even though everyone says "a lines a line" Hmm, so I'm going to keep testing with internet cheapies and then use a digital one maybe on Sunday if I keep getting a line.

Wow - congrats. What a run of good results!

I had not truly appreciated the uncertainty around HPT! I have gone on that website for the first time (sorry Gilly my inexperienced eye cannot see anything but that might be my rubbish screen!) and even early sticks with 100% yes votes - I can't see any line!

No wonder people on pregnancy section get upset when doctor refuses to do another test. The uncertainty is worrying to me! Makes me anxious!

Good luck everyone waiting to test!

In a way I wish I didn't test this early because the line has just confused me and now I can't wait until tomorrow morning! It's going to be even harder to wait the extra days now!

OP posts:
LaceyLee · 21/08/2013 08:54

Gilly there's something there, super faint but there, good luck!

Wispa I totally know what you mean, I'm 29 too and have always been trying NOT to get pregnant so it feels really strange to say that I am now... (This is first pregnancy) Just did another test and line is much stronger this morning!! We are very happy though of course Smile

I read some of the symptoms posts and just wanted to say that I feel completely normal at the moment, only 'symptoms' I have had is slight cramping on fri eve, and a bad tummy on sat morning! Otherwise no difference, except no AF...so I guess if you're waiting for a BFP and haven't really had many symptoms don't worry Smile

gillywillywoo · 21/08/2013 08:53

Isean how exciting Smile

I bet your line was more significant than mine which is ridiculously faint!

Stick around.. I will be testing more over the next few days too.

I'm not feeling too excited yet because my line is so faint and its so early (I shouldn't have tested.. I couldn't wait!).. AND the line has since faded even more and almost disappeared. Even the test line has faded. Gah!

OP posts:
ArmyLovin · 21/08/2013 08:48

Gilly there is definitely a line there!Grin
I'm about 9dpo too but I'm too terrified to test because I 99% of me knows what the outcomes gonna be this month.. Again. Hmm But if I don't have any sign of af next week I'm gonna test then.

Isean · 21/08/2013 08:47

I am very tentatively hoping I got my BFP this morning....

I used an Internet cheapie and there's a line, not as strong as the test line, but a line all the same!

I'm going to keep testing over the next few days & see what happens so can I hang about this bus for a wee bit longer please? Smile

I usually do wee in a pot but this morning I just did it straight on the stick! Annoying!!!!

Anyway I've looked again and definitely CAN'T see the line now.. The test has dried up and even the test line has faded so my faint line has totally disappeared! Blush

Aggghh!

Right well I finish work early today so I'm going to a pound shop AND boots! Stocking up!

OrangeMochaFrappucino · 21/08/2013 07:58

For me, at 8dpo only FMU gave me a line and testing with anything else after was a negative. Test tomorrow with a FRER (promise I'm not on commission!) - the lines are much clearer than the internet cheapies.

I just started a May thread in Ante-natal clubs, don't know how to link but hopefully will see some of you there!

Ooh I didn't realise that when you click on the image on that site it opens it up in a new window (I'm on iPhone) and makes it MASSIVE.

Yeah I definitely see SOMETHING.

Hmmm.

Yup username is gillywillywoo Grin

Could be an evap line!? I don't even know what that is but.. Maybe not a line!

Not getting too excited.

I haven't eaten or drank anything this morning but might need another wee soon lol.. Will that still count as FMU? I have another cheap test lying around!
