TTC any which way DP CM BT OPK Grapefruit drinking ....

big hugs wasabi - sounds like you needs someone there to give you a bug hug.

Wow cindy that is the best news ever. Please let us know what happens tomorrow morning. And enjoy being happy and having only you and dh (and us!) know. x

C1ndy - that sounds promising - nothing can show 2 lines if you aren't pg.

It is VERY early though - as Jools has said try tomorrow am with FMU and then wait. Tough call I know.

I must admit I thought the fact that you were getting positive OPK's after ovulation was a very good sign.

Cindy ? How many DPO are you?

I think if you?ve got a line ? no matter how faint ? its still a line and a BFP. It is what happened to me. Definitely do another one tomorrow though with FMU as Jools has suggested.

I got a super faint line with First Response at 10DPO, did another one the next day and it got slightly darker then I got a boots digital which confirmed it ? as I was fed up squinting at lines!

It is sounding very hopeful sweetie!

You have every right to get cautiously excited

7 days till AF is massively early to get a BFP though - could your dates be a bit out ?

I would test again tomorrow and then put them away till the day AF is due

Ooh C1ndy !!!

I hope you bought a twin pack and have one to try again tomorrow with FMU

oooh c1ndy cross posted!

That sounds VERY promising

jools you're right

but am trying not to get hopes up... last month with AF being late was a new low for me (if am honest) and have tried to not obsess so much this month..

although - on the up side I have BD'd at the time I ov'd last month (according to FF) and the time I did the month before...

xx

IggyPiggy - it is not quantity but quality sometimes

During my successful cycle, we only BD'd three times and I think one of those was too early to count

Hello all

You know I don't think we should get hung up on numbers - everyone is different - two 30 year olds wouldn't nescessarily be the same age biologically - nor would two 40 yr olds - don't think we should set so much store in a number. Hope that sounds the way I meant it - in a nice way

I've totally messed up this month anyway - have manged hardly any BD action - have only managed CD12, 13 and 17

so def no high hopes for this month...

good luck c1ndy if you do test x

Thanks Jools - that's what I keep telling myself.

I'm nowhere near going through a pad every half hour although I am going to the loo a lot and just sitting there losing a lot and then wiping loads and loads away.

Thanks god I am working at home. Not sure I could have dealt with the commute this morning.

Wasabi

On the bright side - the quicker it is over, the quicker you can start the recovery process.

Keep an eye on the blood loss and pain though and make sure you phone the EPU if it gets heavier - I think they say that if you are changing pads once every half hour, your BP needs to be monitored.

You can take paracetamol and ibuprofen together - that helped me

Oooh good luck C1ndy - I hope this rainy day brings some happy news for you.

Well I think I have experienced one of the maudlin muggings that Funtime and Jools have mentioned. We got a mail this morning announcing the pregnancy of some friends of ours - we knew anyway, they told us at New Year but it was a big secret as she was only 8 weeks. They've now had their 12 week scan so the announcement went out. This couple are the lovliest people and have been trying for well over a year and it's their 1st, so I am happy for them but have still cried for the last half an hour

Blood loss has really escalated and I was in quite a lot of pain last night. This is just shit I just want it to stop now.

good luck cindy - it is too early but no one has ever put me off testing when I get it in my head that that is what I want to do so no lectures from me. Let us know how it goes.

lol - dates are freaking me out too !

I would have been due end of May and loved the idea of having a Summer baby. Now, I'm looking at the end of October - in fact, if I conceive this cycle and go to 42 weeks, I shall share a birthday - what a 40th that would be !!!

I always told myself when I started TTC that I would stop trying if I couldn't have a baby before I was 40 - didn't count on wasting 3 months of that time on a pregnancy that didn't go anywhere and then waiting 11 weeks for AF

Am changing the goalposts I think to wanting to conceive again before I'm 40 !!

Lol wasabi - I had a similar conversation with dh this morning along the lines of 'if AF takes another week to arrive, then we're getting into at least Nov/Dec baby time' and we know that having ds' birthday so close to Christmas comes with it's own headaches.

Dh replied that he thought that he could live with it, given what we've been through TTC #2. I glad that one of use is thinking sensibly !

Thanks Queenie - here's hoping indeed. I hope the next 2 weeks pass quickly for you and that you are in luck this month. You are very good not to give dh hell! It does seem to be a lucky thread - well, relatively speaking.

I have just realised that assuming next AF takes 5 weeks or so to arrive, Dh and I will be trying for a December baby at the earliest. Seems ages away. It IS ages away. God I am so impatient. I need to work on this.

wasabi - good to know you are being proactive and working yourself up for ttc again. I really do think you've been so strong through all this. Here's hoping you get another BFP very, very soon. x

Speaking of weeing on sticks I had my delivery yesterday of internet ov sticks, preg tests and extra sensetive tests! I felt I had to be proactive and do stuff rather than just sitting around and waiting some more.

I have so many tests in my pants draw that I must now look mildly obsessive which I undoubtedly am....

oh queenie I feel your pain and you are much calmer about that than I would be!

Yes I know it is too early but I have a compulsion to wee on sticks!!!!!
