TTC#1 - The difficult fifth thread: the one where we all get BFP!

999 replies

DulcetMoans · 11/08/2012 21:38

Time to move over ladies. Would love to start this thread by announcing my BFP but unfortunately I can't because we all talk too much to get to test date!

All going for gold medals in baby-making and bound to get there soon, aren't we???

I wonder how Pop and Mclairey are doing. They must have had their 12 week scans by now.

NicolaHazel · 26/08/2012 10:50

Thank you Lol. No, just the little band that I'm wearing on the picture as my hair is too short for a veil. I'm having a reddy brown dye with bright red highlights though.

I don't think the style of my dress will stand the test of time, sadly, so if I keep it I doubt it'll get worn again.

Mine only takes 5 mins to get on and off, thankfully.

And yes, I am glad, Newbie. Not sure why I was worried.

No word from Pop recently. Maclairey will be back soon, I think.

NickiNockiNoodle · 26/08/2012 11:18

Name change here :-)

Only close family would know me now!

Newbie2 · 26/08/2012 11:39

Huh? What do we call you now :-/

NickiNockiNoodle · 26/08/2012 11:42

Nic or Nicola, I suppose! :-) Just slightly more anonymous.

LoveinNY · 26/08/2012 12:01

nicola I couldn't part with mine. Got it cleaned and boxed. Would like to have it around for future generations to see like Newbie. Ive always said once more of my friends are married that I'll have a wedding party where everyone can wear their dresses too. Smile
I'm CD 13 and -ve ovulation test today. Going to yoga later to egg it on pun intended am going to visualise releasing an egg. Lol. Can't hurt. Got my second acupuncture booked for Tuesday too. That should help bring it on. according to my book might as well give it a go as cant get any tests until at least dec/jan. Hmm x

Maclairey · 26/08/2012 12:47

Hi all!!! As you were wondering where I was Newbie i thought I would say hi!!!

I am 11 weeks today, still waiting for my scan appointment, hoping it will come this week. Really want to tell people now. Plus I have got fat due to an insatiable appetite and it's becoming difficult to hide, I don't want people to think I am just greedy :)

I am currently surrounded by flowers as we have had 3 bouquets delivered! Feels like a florist in here. Can't believe its my first wedding anniversary tomorrow, it's gone so quick and I remember the day just like it was yesterday. I am envious of you Nic still having it all to come.

I can't believe all the missing AFs and smiley faces. You guys are definitely going through a tough spell. I reckon that soon there is going to be a glut of bfps. I am keeping everything crossed for you Newbie that you get some answers soon.

Dulcet, any progress on a wedding venue yet?

NickiNockiNoodle · 26/08/2012 13:36

Happy anniversary, Maclairey! :-)

I can't wait now. 7 weeks seems so far, but I know it's not really. Not with how fast time goes. And I finish work 6 weeks on Tuesday, so no doubt that will fly.

We have had a tough time in this thread recently...fx you're right and we will all suddenly be up duffed!

Bet you can't wait to tell people. Your health authority seems a bit slow :-/

Newbie2 · 26/08/2012 17:45

There you're Mclairey! Glad to hear things are going well and you're rounding up nicely :) I know this thread is very low on good news but I am sure it will pick up soon. Hope your scan date comes soon...just as well you went private for an early scan otherwise you would be tearing your hair out :)

Newbie2 · 27/08/2012 08:58

Stupid stupid CBFM is showing CD14 and still not asking for sticks!! Again no smiley face this morning :( Anyone else testing?

letsdothisthing · 27/08/2012 09:23

Hello everyone

I feel like I haven't chatted in a while

No haven't POAS newbie, your bench sounds lovely by the way! I'm on CD26 now - FF says I ov'd CD23, but feel so fed up as thought ov was going to be earlier so think we've missed the boat this month which is soooo frustrating especially with my long cycles :(

Just feeling a bit down about it all lately, time seems to be on hold and the waitings driving me insane!! Never mind, got a nice day out with the hubby planned for today! Really hope someone/anyone- (even a hit and run) gets a BFP soon!!! Long overdue :)

Nice to hear from maclairey though, hope you get your scan date soon!

Hi to everyone else :)

NickiNockiNoodle · 27/08/2012 09:46

I POA CB OPK every morning! About to get out of bed to do it now!

Hi lets :-)

NickiNockiNoodle · 27/08/2012 09:53

And do the instructions say what it may be doing, Newbie, as that does seem odd :-/

Newbie2 · 27/08/2012 10:09

Hi lets have a lovely day :)

Nicola no the instructions don't say anything about continued use, quite annoying really. I may email CB later. My bench is arriving in about an hour and then I'm dragging DH to garden centre for some compost so I can plant lavender in the front. Am I really 30? ;)

Talyra · 27/08/2012 10:11

I am having a weird time with Fertility Friend right now. Had a random stupidly high temp today and now it's deciding I ovulated 7 days ago. Unconvinced, as have had two low temps since. Confusing stuff, and now means that I will have to POAS around 4th September. I'm not getting my hopes up, though.

NickiNockiNoodle · 27/08/2012 10:15

I think you may have to email them, Newbie, as that is rather weird. And frustrating.

Meant to be having bonus bank holiday bonking, but our neighbours are moving out and have just asked us to move our car so they can get their van in, so Bri has buggered off to take it. Hoping he comes back to bed when he gets back. :-)

NickiNockiNoodle · 27/08/2012 10:16

Oh. And I'd love to be doing what you're doing today. :-)

NickiNockiNoodle · 27/08/2012 10:17

I don't get temping, Tal, so can't be of any assistance, sorry :-(

Maclairey · 27/08/2012 10:23

Thanks for all your good wishes!! Really hoping scan appointment comes tomorrow.

Newbie why don't you just reset your CBFM. You don't know what cd you are on anyway so you can't use it effectively. If you reset it that should solve your problem I would have thought.

Talyra · 27/08/2012 10:23

No worries! It means I can entertain with POAS if nothing else :)

Hi all, absence weekend away related. Think I've just caught up though.

Hi maclairy! Still no scan date? How annoying! Good to have something to look forward to. We think we have the venue we want so just trying to look at dates now. The lady was going to have a meeting on Friday so hopefully catch up with her next week.

Namechange confused me nic! I thoughts it was newbie that had changed and didn't make any sense to me for a minute!

OP posts:
Newbie2 · 27/08/2012 10:37

Oh well I have reset my CBFM, hence why I'm now on CD14 today. I don't think I reset it quick enough though (left it too many days after it started flashing m for expected AF) so I think the silly thing is confused now.

Roxyjade · 27/08/2012 10:45

Hi newbie

Is this your second month of using the cbfm?
My cbfm asked for a stick on cd9 which was low and cd10 which was low (I would expect that) but cd11&cd12 have both come back high! I got all highs last month but didn't get a peak till cd21 so confused as to why I have a highs already (and I no it will keep saying high until it sees a peak, these sticks are expensive, though it wouldn't ask for so many again)

NickiNockiNoodle · 27/08/2012 11:03

That monitor sounds very confused, Newbie. :-/

And sorry to have confused you, Dulcet...decided I needed a touch more anonymity!

CD11 here and no smiley yet :-( Hoping it comes by Thursday or not until Sunday as Friday and Saturday would be awkward with a house guest!

LisaC2611 · 27/08/2012 11:15

Hi all

I was expecting to get a Smile on my opk yesterday but it hasn't happened and it wasn't there this morning either. Will see if it happens tomorrow. It's so frustrating as that means if I don't get my bfp this month it's unlikely that I will be at my most fertile when we go on holiday next month, which is why I booked the holiday for the week I did Angry
