Thank you so much Mouse! We've all had to move over to a new thread so if you copy and paste your comment in thread 5 (link is in the post above) then we will all be there to help you my lovely 😊

Awwwwwww BoBo that's awesome news. Congratulations!!!! I see your posts here, looking after everyone and now it's your turn!! Good luck.

Well I'm still waiting for my first post pill AF. My nervous belly has calmed down. I'm not peeing every 30 mins and I feel more settled. Although tonight I'm getting odd pains in my lower tummy sides so I think AF might show up this weekend. Also getting a little of the ewcm that I see you all chat about. (Never looked before) DH thinks every time we DTD that I'm preggers so I'm thinking that showing him some YouTube videos about cycles might help.

BoBo90 · 23/09/2016 10:26

Good plan Luci!

Oh and I'm not going anywhere Grin you can't get rid of me that easily Wink

here's the link to our new thread as you chatterboxes have filled this one up already!!

LuciBee231015 · 23/09/2016 10:16

Well I've decided to keep myself busy this weekend to keep me away from the tests!

Tomorrow gym, cleaning and am out in the evening.

Sunday, gym, food shopping, clean out my old clothes and shoes and get the car washed! Lol.

Then that gets me to Monday which will be 13dpo if no af arrives by then maybe will test again. Lol.

BoBo90 · 23/09/2016 10:07

Thanks HighHopes Smile This cycle has been awful! Think I must have concieved on the third lh surge and only dtd on the day of ov and after. All those months of dtd loads to make sure it happens and it's the most messed up cycle that is the lucky one! Ttc makes no sense haha!

Definitely keep an eye on everything lovely and if you get any od pains ring 111 Smile

HighHopes16 · 23/09/2016 09:51

OMG That is the best news ever BoBo !! I am literally so happy for you.
Did you do anything differently this month? I hope you'll stick around on this thread even though you don't need to ttc anymore! Grin

I think EPU would just say I need a scan so I might as well wait, will chase it up early next week though. Ovia is saying I'm in my fertile week now but can't be possible if I'm still bleeding! Might do an OPK in the morning just in case.

LuciBee231015 · 23/09/2016 07:45

That's the thing that's annoying me, I wish I knew when af was due at least then I would have a timeframe, but at the moment I have nothing to go by and I'm just waiting!

Your going to have the best day ever today. Secretly smiling to yourself knowing you have a little bean growing in there...well done girl 😘

BoBo90 · 23/09/2016 07:35

Aww Johno, you're making me blush Blush thank you so much lovely xxx

Luci I was so suprised I literally just ran downstairs, shoved the test in his face and told him to look! Not very cute or romantic I'm afraid haha! Sorry about the bfn but your not out yet! You might have a long lp and not implanted yet xxx

OP posts:
LuciBee231015 · 23/09/2016 07:30

Ok so after your story I caved... BFN lol! Never mind. Guess I'm not out until af shows though. Maybe I'll give it another go on Sunday at 12dpo?

I completely agree with Johno, you so deserve it! How did you tell dh? Bet that felt amazing! Xx

Johno85 · 23/09/2016 07:21

Ah bobo our lovely queen of the thread. It must have felt like a long old haul seeing people come and go with their bfp.

You've always been reassuring, gracious and kept all of us laughing through the tears and heartache. I can't think of anyone who deserves their bfp more.

I'm sure I'm with everyone in saying that we're all absolutely over the moon for you. Here's to a happy and healthy 9 months for baby Bobo xxxx

BoBo90 · 23/09/2016 07:13

Thanks Luci! I had some pains at 7dpo and every night since then I've been having really silly vivid dreams but that's about it!
I have been feeling a bit nauseous the last couple days but I'd put that down to having dh's bug rather than a pg sign 😁

Are you testing tomorrow or do you think you will cave today? X

OP posts:
LuciBee231015 · 23/09/2016 06:58

Congratulations BoBo!! Amazing news so happy for you!! We're there any signs?

BoBo90 · 23/09/2016 06:48

Well I guess I better update the list! I'm now officially a resident preggo 😁
I got impatient and tested at 10dpo and the second line came up instantly!! Still didn't quite believe it though so wanted to wait until this morning to test again and boom! Second line again!!
Doesn't quite feel real but dh and I are super happy!! After 10/11 months we actually have a bfp! Fx it's a sticky bean 😍🍼

Good luck Luci and anyone else testing!

HighHopes that sucks!! Maybe go see your gp and directly question why it's taking so long when it has the potential to do a lot of harm!!

It could be the ac highhopes thinking about it as it does affect hormones? I know it depends where you are in country as nhs is a postcide lottery but my mum had an abnormal smear result a few months ago and was rang by the drs saying urgent referral and she got her appointment for gyno dept through 2 days later for the following week so 2 weeks seems ridiculous before they will even chase it up. Can't you call epu direct and see what they say? They'll know the dangers if there are retained products?

Fx for you luci! I don't know if opk would pick it up so early so I'd still poas lol.

LuciBee231015 · 22/09/2016 15:43

It's only cycle 1... Who am I to complain if it's bfn anyway 🙄

Maybe the AC has given your body the kick up the bum it needed to get rid of everything... Fx for that appointment soon!

HighHopes16 · 22/09/2016 14:53

Yes still taking AC, which makes me think that could be making me bleed as AF came when I started taking AC hmmm!

I have heard that opk's pick up pregnancy hormones but 8dpo might have been too early.

I hope you get lucky Luci but we'll all be here if you don't get your BFP this cycle.

LuciBee231015 · 22/09/2016 14:14

How ridiculous... Well I hope they pull their fingers out and get on with it soon! I would just take this second bleed as a further 'deep clean' until you know more! Are you still taking the AC?

I'm going to start mine next cycle, currently on cd49 🙄

I'm so tempted to test but I know I'm being irrational really. I did an opk last night just to ease my craving hahaha! ...it was neg lol. Although then I started thinking to myself, if there was any chance wouldn't the opk have picked it up?

I know I will cave and test on Saturday morning... I just know it! That will be 11dpo, still early but I don't know how long my lp is... I'm really not feeling optimistic tho, this is only cycle 1 and I'm not a lucky person lol.

Anyone else testing soon? Johno?

HighHopes16 · 22/09/2016 13:37

I know I said 'but it was an URGENT referral due to the risk of infection' and she said referrals take at least 2 weeks even when they're urgent! Sad
Are you going to poas tomorrow Luci ? - 10dpo could show a faint BFP Grin God I'm as bad as Ovia!! lol

LuciBee231015 · 22/09/2016 13:17

What an absolute joke highhopes! Things like that make me so angry...

9dpo for me today... Why does the 2ww take sooooooooo long. I don't mind what the outcome is, just want it to hurry up either way!

MoonlightMojitos · 22/09/2016 13:05

Oh highhopes that's shit hun, what a load of rubbish if it's supposed to be urgent! I hate gps sometimes and receptionists can be so uncaring. Like bobo said hopefully it's just clearing it all out seeing as it was so long since you last had one xx

HighHopes16 · 22/09/2016 10:13

I just called my GP surgery and the receptionist said it's too early to chase up even an urgent referral so I have to call back next week.

HighHopes16 · 21/09/2016 21:47

It's not as heavy as before thank god but it's back to bright red blood whereas the last few days of AF was and is usually browny red (tmi?).
I didn't get time to chase up my Gyno appointment today but will try tomorrow. I just felt so positive after AF going into cycle 2 hoping i would ovulate soon but now I'm back to feeling confused at what's going on with my body! Sad
Did anyone catch the Alex jones fertility programme last night? I just caught up on it, I thought it was really interesting and crazy at what medical science can do these days!

BoBo90 · 21/09/2016 21:05

High hopes hopefully it's just your body going 'oh shit we didn't clean everything out properly' and getting rid of any left over stuff but definitely worth giving your gp a call tomorrow even if it's just for a call back xxx

OP posts:
LuciBee231015 · 21/09/2016 21:02

That's weird highhopes... Is it full on again? Did you chase up your appointment?

HighHopes16 · 21/09/2016 20:42

Ok ladies now I'm completely lost.
Heavy AF finished on Sunday and now today I've started bleeding again! Sad
