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

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???

Midwives on next...yay

Newbie2 · 14/08/2012 21:00

WHAT??? Nicola are you mad? Get POA proper stick now Grin

NicolaHazel · 14/08/2012 21:02

I used a bog standard CB stick the other day. BFN.

Will a digi be different? I thought they were less sensitive?

NicolaHazel · 14/08/2012 21:03

Don't Tell the Bride for me.

Newbie2 · 14/08/2012 21:04

I think they're better. Anyway, that was the other day, we're CD15 now

NicolaHazel · 14/08/2012 21:07

Do you think my cheap ones are broken?!

Newbie2 · 14/08/2012 21:15

No, just think its worth trying a different brand. Did your one step ones come in an envelope? I'm really suspicious that mine are second hand :-/

NicolaHazel · 14/08/2012 21:25

Yeah, in a plastic bag in an envelope. They aren't the same as my last cheap ones. Don't like them.

I'll try a better one at the weekend if no AF. Meant to be going drinking!

Newbie2 · 14/08/2012 21:34

Yeah that's what I got! Last time they came in a plastic sealed thing with instructions. I think we've got dodgy tests Nicola how wonderful...just what we need!!!

NicolaHazel · 14/08/2012 21:43

Yeah, no bloody instructions with these. Most odd. We've been done!

Lolcbcb · 14/08/2012 22:10

Ooh so we could have 2 bfp missing due to dodgy tests!
Pls buy proper ones ladies and update us ASAP. Wink

NicolaHazel · 14/08/2012 22:16

I'll try to get one soon...no promises though. I don't get to shops too often! Far too much effort at lunch. :-)

Newbie2 · 14/08/2012 22:22

Nicola go buy one at lunchtime, you're depriving us from a BFP Grin

NicolaHazel · 14/08/2012 22:23

OK...ordered a twin pack from Amazon for 7 quid.

Hopefully be here by Sat.

NicolaHazel · 14/08/2012 22:24

I have to work at lunch :-( Felt too ill tonight and got 3 witness statements to complete by next Monday. Annoying.

DulcetMoans · 14/08/2012 22:36

How can the tests be secondhand?! Completely understand you both wanting to try another brand but it would be a massive coincidence if you both ended up with a dodgy batch and then online talking to each other... Hope you get BFPs on the new tests though!

NicolaHazel · 14/08/2012 22:40

They are very flimsy with no instructions. Shite, but not secondhand, I don't think.

I have something going on inside. I feel bizarre. I'd quite like to know what now though!!

Newbie2 · 14/08/2012 23:02

Yeah I think they're second hand because it looks like someone has posted them from their home. I thought we were buying from a company but it now looks like a home set-up. Pretty sure we've brought the same batch at the same time.

letsdothisthing · 14/08/2012 23:02

Sheesh Nicola, dizzy/heartburn/sicky you have all the symptoms going - what CD are you on now? Think I remember you said the last one was 26 days - this one seems to be getting longer if you're not pg? :(

Good for you booking your appt to go private roxy, bet you feel better for it

letsdothisthing · 14/08/2012 23:03

Newbie if they're dodgy we could be seeing two BFPs before long :) how good would that be!!!

NicolaHazel · 14/08/2012 23:08

CD30, lets...on a 26 or 28 day cycle.

I think they would be the same batch as we ordered on the same day.

Fx there are BFPs. I'll be gutted otherwise.

letsdothisthing · 14/08/2012 23:31

Fx for you both, will check in in the morning to see if there's any news! Night all :)

cwtching · 15/08/2012 00:02

Hello everyone :) TTC our first baby, BFP due on the 30th. This is month 6, so far I've gone through stages of being excited, fed up (I would not recomend watching Youtube videos of people announcing their pregnancys to family - they are lovely heartwarming moments but also a nasty form of self-torture if ttc!). I am now back to feeling positive and excited again. I'm so hoping BFP happens soon!

NicolaHazel · 15/08/2012 06:30

Hi cwtching!

BFN on cheapie and CB non-digital today.

Feeling a bit sick still though. My body hates me!

Newbie2 · 15/08/2012 07:09

Hello cwt! That sounds like torture to me. Step away from YouTube! This thread is a lot less torturous, addictive but supportive none the less.

A deffinate BFN from First Response :( That's it for PoAS for me...no more torture this month!
