Just stalking this thread! Can I join? I'm 8dpo. AF is due 29th x

ASplendidMoomin · 22/05/2017 16:30

Thank you! X

CatRen27 · 22/05/2017 15:58

Wow @splendid look at that! Congratulations that's a definite bfp! Hope everything goes well, sticky baby dust to you x

Hello all, I'm really sorry for jumping into this thread. Hope you don't mind. I've been lurking for a few months. Thought I was out this month as thought AF was on way at the weekend, but after a day and a half of spotting, it stopped. Felt really sick today so did a test- well actually I did 4 (period was due yesterday). I think they're faint BFPs or am I losing the plot? I'm 34, TTC #1 and came off pill in January. Am 11dpo today (short cycles, only 25 days). Can't quite take it in. I know it's early days so might not stick. But had to tell someone. Hoping not my imagination...

I see a line! Hope it gets darker for you tomorrow. Tentative congratulations Smile fx for you- update us tomorrow!

CatRen27 · 22/05/2017 07:40

So I did a test this morning (11 dpo) and think I have line eyes. It's not first response so not as sensitive - not sure why I'm testing so early! Thoughts?

Hi Cat! Welcome to the thread!
I've not ovulated (I don't think) this month following a chemical last month, so god knows what's happening. Fingers crossed for you for the 25th!

Not long now bingle hoping this month is your month! We've only had one bfp on this thread so far! Thought a few people were due to test around about now? Anyone got any updates?

Binglesplodge · 21/05/2017 17:08

Just checking in: only cd22 for me so it'll be a good few days yet before I'll know how this month went...! Anyone else due around the 27th?

CatRen27 · 20/05/2017 13:45

Hi all think I should quit lurking and say hello.
TTC#2
Age 34
Cycle 15
CD9

Wondering why it's taking so long this time round as it was so easy first time round. Had a chemical pregnancy back in January and blood test (cd24) came back fine for the progesterone levels. AF due 25th so if she comes I'll be back in for bloods on cd2-5 then will see next steps with gp.

Trying not to symptom spot this month and didn't use opks - just dtd as much as possible.

Here's hoping everyone xx

TheFlame · 19/05/2017 18:24

congratulations! :)

Iamchanging · 18/05/2017 08:59

Thanks everyone - fingers crossed for many more!

1000jobstodo · 18/05/2017 08:51

Congratulations- this thread's first bfp! That's great news. All the best to you. Wishing you a sticky one!

Iamchanging · 18/05/2017 08:48

Hi pocket, I'm 14dpo so just praying that it's sticky now!

pocketfullofsunshine · 18/05/2017 08:43

No there is defo a line there!
Congratulations hun! How many dpo are you?

ThisTime81 · 18/05/2017 08:35

I can't definitely see a line! Congratulations! Smile

Iamchanging · 18/05/2017 03:58

Hi all, I'm not imagining this am I?!!!

Gosh Leannie im sorry you're in limbo!
I drove myself half insane for my 5ww!
Still driving myself mad now and i dont even know why.
TMI AF is really light and just brown. Im reading this could be down to low progesterone levels? My last period was all brown for the whole of it. Really confusing now :(
Drs wont see me until AF has gone (i think its so they can play catch up after this cyber attack really)

Thank you 1000, that's really eased my mind. I've not wanted to make a fuss about it but I have been feeling very stressed. Whatever happens, there's always another thread to look forward to now! At least I'm definitely synced with pocket and ThisTime for cycle buddies

Good luck to you rent 2ww ers! Keep us updated!

Oh no leannie, how confusing! Even if it was worst case scenario and peri-menopause, I don't think it affects fertility until much later on? At least this is the impression I've got. So try not to worry! We tend to have early menopause in my family, so my mum has explained some things to me in the past. The doctor should be able to ease any concerns and I'm sure it's all fine. Really hope it's messed up cycles for you and not an early mc. The test would rule that out wouldn't it?
Let us know how you get on. Sorry it's a confusing time for you!

How frustrating pocket. Youre certainly deserving of some decent wine and spoiling yourself a bit on holiday.

Looks like I'm in a hormonal muddle too. After the other stange occurences (no LH surge when expected, and pink cf on cd9) AF started yesterday at cd18- 2 weeks early! It's really heavy and painful....went to see Dr, who's sent me for an hcg blood test tomorrow, just to make sure it's not an early mc. Goodness knows what's happening. I quite worried I'm perimenopausal.

Sorry pocket and thistime Sad how irritating and disappointing. Both enjoy your wine tonight, and enjoy your holiday pocket!

Looks like we're going to have updates from a few on here over the next week or so. Good luck every one!

pocketfullofsunshine · 16/05/2017 18:52

Yeah, gona have plenty of wine and enjoy the week away with hubby and baby boy. Fingers crossed it'll destress me enough to have a sticky bean!! No idea when I'll be ovulating as my cycles are all messed up so ill just go with it.. if i dont have a visit from AF by last week of june ill test frantically until see BFP ill test at the end of june and go from there ;)
Who am i kidding?! Haha

Iamchanging · 16/05/2017 15:27

I think sometimes it doesn't seem to make a difference bingle. We did it every day over my fertile window but still doesn't seem to have worked! Will know for certain on thurs at 14dpo

Binglesplodge · 16/05/2017 12:24

Settling in for the 2ww now, due to test on the 27th assuming I don't cave early!

Not convinced we've done enough this month: only 3 times in the fertile window, and with a 2 day gap in the middle. Less optimistic than last month!

ThisTime81 · 16/05/2017 12:11

Oh pocket how frustrating! Let's enjoy CD1 and get in the Wine, enjoy your holiday!
