Hey girlies

I have some news...

As you know I had a BFN yesterday but was cramping like mad.

Today I went to boots and splashed on a FRER thinking, here we go, my period isn't even due and I can't help myself from poas.

I poas and was about to chuck it away when I saw a BFP appearing!!!!!

I can't quite believe it :-)))))

I hope that the BFN of today transform into BFP tomorrow
Xxxx

HippyJess · 05/01/2014 13:21

It is due on Wednesday wondercat, if you go by 14dpo as due.

smorgasborgen · 05/01/2014 13:18

hello all! I guess this is the double decker for me! 31 yrs of age, married for a year. been trying for six months with one mc at seven weeks. DTD yesterday and day before, (got positive opk yesterday). due on the eighteenth if all is the same as last month. Smile Smile

wondercat07 · 05/01/2014 13:07

Congratulations hippy!! When was your AF due again?
And hopefully congrats to you for tomorrow kitkat

I'm feeling pretty doubtful about this cycle, as got a bfn on day 12dpo but only a 20 mu test so who knows. If AF doesn't arrive tomorrow I'll test again tues or weds. Or tomorrow! But feeling pretty pre-AF ish, iyswim

mum2kiss cloudy pee sounds a bit like a uti, can give cramping too, might be worth getting it checked

bumpbangbump · 05/01/2014 12:53

Congratulations hippy and fx KitKat. Sorry to all this that witch got. Just seeing the back of her here so hold onto you hat hubby, I'm coming for you!

KitKat1985 · 05/01/2014 12:36

Gaaah. Just had shower pre going to work and saw this mornings IC in bin. Looked at it. There is an EXTREMEMLY FAINT second line. Considered that I was seeing thing so asked DH to look at it. He could also see it. HOWEVER, test was at least 3 hours old by this point so quite likely an evaporation line so trying and failing miserably to not read too much into it. Will test again with FMU in morning and this time not throw test in bin after 5 mins when packaging clearly says second line can take up to 10 minutes to develop.

LaceyLee · 05/01/2014 12:09

Excellent, another bfp, congratulations hippy!

So I've now had positive opks for 3 days in a row... Is this normal? I guess it just means that we need to dtd a lot... First one was one cd7 tho and I'm now on cd10, so I guess if I ovulate on cd11 thats at least a reasonable time...

EnglishGirlAbroad · 05/01/2014 12:06

Congratulations Hippy! What lovely news.
My fertile period still seems so far away... That's if I ovulate as usual after my chem. Another BFP seems so fricking far and distant. I'm just wishing the days away til I know any DTD might actually be productive. That's awful isn't it!

Flukewoman · 05/01/2014 12:04

Oh congrats hippy Jess Grin

ImaginaryHat · 05/01/2014 11:54

Congratulations hippy, lovely news Smile

Sorry you're still in limbo ginger and LH, how annoying.

I was violently sick at 2am but as I don't even think Ive ovulated yet I think its pretty certain that it was something I ate rather than anything preg related unfortunately. Boo.

LH1981 · 05/01/2014 11:50

Congrats Hippy!!!! That's fab news, just what we needed! Grin

Ginger, urgh that's annoying, guess you'll just have to wait it out.

Mum, bah!!! Wednesday??!! Dying to see a few more bfps. Well, best of luck for wednesday!

Anyone else testing in the next couple of days?? Xx

HippyJess · 05/01/2014 11:46

I usually get sore boobs and stuff as PMS so that wasn't new! But this month I was more tired than usual and have had lots of mild cramping, that's all that's been different :) will see if I can get a photo up later for you Wink

Gingerpanther27 · 05/01/2014 11:45

Congrats hippy

KitKat1985 · 05/01/2014 11:42

Wahoo! Congrats hippyjess! About time we had another BFP! Can you post a photo of your BFP? Love looking at them for some reason!

Sorry to hear about everyone that AF got and who are in limbo.

I've taken a couple of sensitive (10miu) internet cheapies again the past two days (yesterday was CD23 and today was CD24). Both very clear BFNs both days, though I know it's early, as DH also pointed out to me. Not experiencing any 'classic' symptoms either. I.E, I don't feel nauseous or have a metallic taste in my mouth, etc, etc. I know it's still a bit early but I'm beginning to feel a bit despondent about this month.

JustMarriedBecca · 05/01/2014 11:40

Congratulations Hippy. For those of us symptom spotting hangs head as still TEN freaking days to go did you have any symptoms?!

Now working out 11 days dpo to see when can test.

Gingerpanther27 · 05/01/2014 11:39

lh my nearest pound land type place is 40 miles away. Hmm

mum2kiss · 05/01/2014 11:17

Yay!! Congratulations hippy !!!!!

mum2kiss · 05/01/2014 11:17

I ordered some ic htps on friday so they wont arrive until Wednesday! I plan to test then if af doesnt show up in the mean time...wednesday seems very far away right now though!

HippyJess · 05/01/2014 11:15

So I've had a few cramping sessions off and on for the past few days and have been desperately trying not to symptom spot since it's only our first cycle TTC #1...

But I tested this morning at 11dpo with a 10miU IC and I totally got a BFP Grin

I can't believe it! Seriously can't and it hasn't sunk in yet at all! Fingers crossed for everyone waiting to test, let's hope this bus ends up being a lucky one :)

LH1981 · 05/01/2014 10:13

Mum, are you going to test?? We could all do with a bfp to lift our spirits! (No pressure Wink

Ginger, do you have a pound shop nearby? They usually do the ic's in small quantities? Then bring out the big guns when finance allows - know how you feel, I've spent a fortune this month!!! Luckily dh is on board (has actually been going out and buying them for me, as he's just as mystified as I am as to where AF has got to)!

Cd56. BFN with fmu.
Not testing again now until cd70 if AF not here by then. That would be round about when my next period is due.

Should really see gp but know I'll just get fobbed off!

mum2kiss · 05/01/2014 09:52

Oh and a few shooting pains in my.left boob! Lol!

mum2kiss · 05/01/2014 09:51

Af due today!!! Im 95% sure she will show up...but that remaining 5% has me symtpom spotting like no tomorrow!

Is cloudy pee a symptom? Mine has been cloudy all week when it isnt usually...

ive had mild cramping occasionally throughout the week and one sharp electric shock type pain on thursday...a few waves of nausea and thats about it!

angelicjen · 05/01/2014 09:40

Massive congratulations to punkypod and lime19! And lots of luck to everyone else still waiting. Anyone else getting stitched up by the fact that early pregnancy symptoms are actually very similar to the results of far too much cheese and Christmas pud?! I keep thinking omg I'm bloated, tired, funny feelings in my tummy...no wonder really! I never thought I'd say this but I think it will be good to go back to work tomorrow, eat fruit and veg again and think about something other than ttc.

KittyVonCatsington · 05/01/2014 09:26

In that case, could it be, [whisper] implantation pains? I have read that they are very similar. It doesn't mean it is ectopic though so try not to worry. FX for you!

Hibou7688 · 05/01/2014 09:25

Hi ladies, well AF (or bfp) due in next couple of days.. I have already tested tho and it was Bfn so not holding much hope. I've bought some clear blue opks for Jan in the hope that they'll give me a clearer reading than the cheap ones. Dtd last night, then dreamt about getting a bfp... A sign?? Haha. Good luck for Jan everyone!! Hope it brings us all a bfp.
