WHAT DO WE WANT??...BFPs WHEN DO WE WANT THEM??...NOW!!!! symptom spotters and 2wwaiters brand spanking new thread [grin]

thanks Ei bring on the symtpoms, I feel like have a BFP in the post now !
PnM isn't it funny how relatives getting PG or having babies makes us feel 'funny'. I found out on holiday that SIL is PG again. That is #3 and the third 'surprise' baby . I'd have been less if it'd been intentional but was quite and because they just look at each other and she falls PG grrrr why can't she share the babydust out with us ?
Scary that is waayyy good news missus, PMSL at Obscure Blue ! I'll save my congrats for tomorrow and given that you have a Ei prediction under your belt you are laughing ! I wonder if PnM is the 3rd.... Ei ignored her unintentionally... Did she ignore you Scary ? Maybe your family has anti-CB wee all the best for tomorrow's test

i think fairydust rang clearblue and they sent her out a CBD and a CB ordinary one so its worth a try lol i think it was her anyway someone rang them recently...
xx ei xx

Ooooh yes, but they will probably steer me in the way of the digital.
Gasp! Do you think they are deliberately making crap normal tests so we all fork out for digital? This phantom pregnancy is making me paranoid!

i only got a +ve on predictor and after about 7 weeks CB did the trick for me lol dont get too disheartened some tests just simply dont work properly, i would also ring clearblue and request a freebie
xx ei xx

I've got a FR for tomorrow. But it was a FR that gave me a disappearing positive in 2005. Hope they've improved.
My sister (3 kids) never got a positive CB - only Sainsbury's cheapies told her the truth!

oh no bloody CBs get yourself a first response (you already did didnt you??) or i found predictor preg tests quite accurate in the past
xx ei xx

thanks all

Ahem, I know that is MN doctrine, but I have had one before - it vanished after 15 mins. That wonderful lady at Peeonastick (my hero, she pees on even more sticks than I do) says that she has had reports of false positives with CB lately. Arg!

now you know you cant get 'FALSE' positives scary dont you
xx ei xx

I am soooo not holding my breath Ei. I had one of these last Thursday as well! I think CB might just be throwing up false positives...

scary pmsl at 'obscure blue' im so excited about your possible BFP if there was something there it IS a BFP IMO so that is a possible 2 out of 3 hit rate with the most recent batch of predictions
keep us posted
xx ei xx

by recated I mean reacted, of course...
And roportion might be proportion.

JB it is perfectly normal and means nothing to have a little dip like that. As long as your temps stay high you are in with a shot.

Mibbes we're all rubbish at being patient, hence the success of this thread! Fingers crossed for good useful results for you.

Beanie you won't get a BFP (or reliable BFN) until at least 10 dpo, regardless of when your period is due. Good luck, I hope you get it.

MOET (one of my favourite drinks ), I think you have to be careful about looking at the lines on a CBD OPK stick. I often have 2 lines on there but no smiley face - apparently tis something to do with those sticks detecting 2 hormones and not just HCG, iirc. The woman at peeonastick does a better explanation than me. Notwithstanding, the blood could be ov as you can miss your LH surge, or it could just be one - off breakthrough bleeding. Sorry I am not more help!

Fairydust good for you not testing for a bit.

No decent news from here. I am either 12 or 14 dpo, loads of cramping for the 5th day in a row - I even tok paracetomol more than once today. I did a CB (not digital) this afternoon. Again the horizontal line was strong-ish an there was a hair width vertical line - like one row of the dots recated but not the rest. A sort of maybe-positive. I've tried to get a picture of it for you lot to opine on but it does not show in photos which does not give me much help. I did not use FMU though. Tomorrow I will see if my temp has come down and if not I will do a First Response in the morning. If I am not pregnant though I think I must be ill. It can't be normal to have such awful AF-like cramps for 5 days and mild nausea, so I will be off to the GP if it turns out to be a BFN.

You know that CBD ad where they say something about a huge roportion of women "can misread a pregnancy test". Maybe that's because they don't give a clear result. Should be called Obscure blue IMHO.

Thanks for that - just what I needed ! Have just heard that my SIL has had her baby (a little girl, her third DC) and am feeling, although very happy for her, a little wobbly for myself!

oh my lordy i am such a dunce that was an unintentional snub for you PnM il give you the 'treatment' too then...

there you go am i forgiven??
xx ei xx

Pressed 'post' before I'd finished !!

Sorry to hear of BFN Pink/FDCO - I admire your resilience and attitude. As you say, tis never over til the evil af arrives.

DG! Fab to 'see' you briefly - good luck at your scan, let us know how it goes xx

Hatty, how are you doing today?

GG hope you are ok out there??

Anyone seen Coolkat recently?

Hi to Shakey as well!

Phew, thinks thats everyone, apologies if its not!

oh NO!! not again did i miss someone out?? im soooooo sorry mibbes i cant believe i missed you out...i suppose i will have to give you the ei treatment to make up for it

xx ei xx

Mibbes - save some of that BFP luck for me, I too was blanked by Ei so am hoping for some 'Ei luck'!!!!

Thanks to all for further encouragement to visit the Dr. Will wait for af to end then try and get an appointment.

Sounds like its all hotting up for Scary and JB - am too crossing fingers, toes etc for you both!

Mibbes - have never understood why it takes so long for test results to come through. Hope yours don't take too long

MOET I agree with JB, I've heard of some people having an ov bleed - maybe its that? If cervix is still open then keep up the bding!! (maybe try a little bding fairy style and see if that works?! )

Clairepo tis good to 'see' you - weren't you on this thread many moons ago (Gosh, I've been on here far too long now!)? How is everything with you?

woohoo blanked by Ei almost a guaranteed BFP for me then !
Bucky are you out there lurking ? Pop in and say hello if yoyu are xx

evening ladies had a great time @ friends
thanks for support
does sombody mind updating my new name on next list cheers

afternoon ladies
hope you are all well
DG nice to see you and good luck for youe scan tomorrow
shakey i hope AF stays away and you get your BFP
TF pmsl at 'the ei treatment'
scary everything is sounding very positive for you (except those pesky BFNs) esp with your temps rising etc
JB looking at your chart i wouldnt say your temp has dipped much at all it looks still quite good so hopefully it will stay that way and you get your BFP
MOET love the name
clairePO hi what symptoms have you got for us then??

hi to everyone i have missed fairydust bucky tanti GG LL hatty
xx ei xx

ooohh JB I'd love to see you get BFP - crossing fingers, toes, legs and anything else I can contort into a cross position...

I was hoping you might cast your expert eye over my chart mibbes! Glad to hear that at least your bloods are in the system. It takes soooooooo long! Hopefully you'll get a nice BFP before then anyway .

I'm glad you don't think the dip isn't anything to worry about. fairy said the same thing! I'll see how my temp is tomorrow and maybe test on Wednesday .

beanie I'd disregard that test! Lots of ladies on here have had no symptoms and a BFP too.

Scary am very hopeful for you missus, esp with temp rising - everything crossed !
Fairydust sorry for BFN, good idea to hold off testing, you are very strong-willed.
DG hope scan went well - update us please !
Hi Jollybear good to 'see' you missus. Your chart is interesting as there is a possible imp dip on 5dpo (which is the earliest imp can occur but perfectly possible) and if you disregard 4dpo temp as a one off you have a triphasic pattern after 5dpo !! The dip today is minor, I wouldn't be concered about it.... ooohhh JB sorry to raise your hopes but I really do think this looks good for my FF CB !!!!
Ei feel free to ignore me just in case it brings luck ...
MOB I doubt the reflexology has broken you - but a funny thought ! Agree with JB that it could mean ov about to happen. Maybe EWCM didn't make it to your knickers - I never get any on pants just when I wipe (and particularly after a bowel movement). Get some BD'ing in just in case missus
Hi ClairePO what are your ov symptoms missus ?
beanie you've had quite a few very good symtpoms, I am really hoping you get a result soon xx

I had day 21 bloods taken earlier today, 2-3 weeks until I get results. Plus have to wait until they have scan results too and get the lot together so it will be ages before I know anyhting. I am rubbish at being patient.

JollyBear... I broke and tested on Saturday but nothing. (was 5/6 days before my period is due) Thing is that I know I ovulated later in my cycle last month so I am guessing if I did the same this month I proibably wouldn't detect a pregnancy yet (My LP was 8 days last month!) so I guess there's still hope.

I have had symptoms but have dismissed them all as I really just don't feel like I am pregnant.
