BFP in 2013

Hello - starting a new one as the old one filled up.....

Didn't want to start another...but I really hope this is the last thread for all of us.

Fingers crossed for you when! I remember one of my good friends was really anxious at the stage you're at, she's now five months pg How long have you been ttc? Must be the best feeling seeing the BFP, woop! Thanks for the soya info too - so I get the feeling it's all about oestrogen then Did you try clomid before soya? As I'm about to start clomid, I guess I should wait before trying soya (not at the same time?)

Has anyone else tried clomid by the way?

Not tried clomid or soy yet alexandra we are going to wait another 6 months before starting on clomid. Cycle 10 of ttc here.

How are you today when?

thinking of you adsum hope you are being looked after well

I can understand why you'd want to take it one day at a time when, every pregnancy starts off at 3+3 though at some point! Will you do a cb digi to see what week comes updesperate to see if it is twins lol
Thinking of you today adsum

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 14/02/2013 11:27

Red kitty It doesn't feel real at all. Am burping all the time (did this with dd). Think I will have to try and be positive. At the moment it is going as well as it possibly can. Although the darker than expected line is making me worry about Down's syndrome or twins. you may have gathered I'm a worrier

I called the midwife who does the promise trial (progesterone in early pregnancy). The pessaries are being delivered tomorrow morning. Think I will do another first reserve tomorrow, really hoping it gets darker.

Oh the midwife will be calling me in a few weeks to arrange a scan at about 7 weeks, really pleased about that but 7 weeks seems ages away.

Adsum · 14/02/2013 12:14

All ok here. Successfully hoovered! Feel ok except some bugger has stolen all my saliva so the warm buttered toast is like a piece of rag in my mouth! Ick!!

weechops · 14/02/2013 12:30

adsum hugs xx Glad it's over and went as well as these things can.

resipsa · 14/02/2013 13:18

EEEKKK!
when huge congrats! Lucky, lucky, lucky you! Sad anniversaries can take a running jump.
Would it surprise anyone to know that (having read but not posted) I went to H+B for my soy today ? Half-price, too!
ads hope it's all going to plan with you.
Ha, ha at kitty and the film. It was twins for you, when. Closing shot, remember?
Was just thinking yesterday that we hadn't had news since wee and kitten. Happy day.

resipsa · 14/02/2013 13:19

PS Hi Alex and welcome. Maybe you're a good luck charm in which case please don't go anywhere else!

Thingymajigs · 14/02/2013 13:40

So glad everything went ok adsum. Do you get to go home soon?
I'm still so excited for you when. It's given me a bit of a push to reconnect with the whole process more. I'd kind of given up.

Alexandra6 · 14/02/2013 14:17

Like the idea of being a lucky charm for this thread...although maybe taking too much credit there It's been 13 months ttc for me so not having much luck myself so far but I've decided to try and force myself to be more positive about it actually happening! Hopefully we'll all move on to an antenatal thread soon!

RedRobin1 · 14/02/2013 14:33

Ditto what thingy says. You've given a big push up the bottom when I am really giving it my best shot again this month. Fx we will join you over to the grads thread soon.

It's good to know you will get an early scan at 7wks. It must seem like ages away but I think a dark like is a good sign of a BIG FAT POSITIVE. I am just so happy for you when

OP posts:

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 14/02/2013 16:40

I'm starting to panic again. Just did another test and the line isn't any darker. Why is it not darker why why?? It looks exactly the same.

Yesterday I hadn't been to the loo for 4 hours and didn't need to go today it was 3 hours (and I did need to). It that the problem or is it something worse?

Sorry going mad. I should be so happy and I just keep crying.

Adsum · 14/02/2013 16:41

Home with a very full tummy

Just going to have a kip before the whirlwind (aka DS) gets home

PMA when! And if you can't manage it we will try and help x

tedmundo · 14/02/2013 17:09

delurking to say ..

when .. that is just fantatic news, you clever girl you! Don't panic about it not being any darker .. from my extensive reseasrch of POAS fun, it will take a day or two (and a fair few quid!) to see it gets darker.

adsum .. so glad the procedure went OK. I have been thinking about you. I had the same procedure last year and it was an easy recovery. I did bleed for a couple of weeks but only very, very light. The DS is a good way to keep you busy at this time! Especially if he is a whirlwind!

MrsBri · 14/02/2013 17:10

Please don't worry, When...the line would only darken every few days as the hormones don't increase rapidly enough for it to darken daily.

Having said that, I did the same as you 3 days after my first test, but later in the day, and it was no darker, so I freaked myself out totally, the same as you are right now.

Are you going to do a digi one?

MrsBri · 14/02/2013 17:12

Oh, sorry, adsum...I'm glad it well as well as it could and you're feeling ok.

:-)

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 14/02/2013 17:31

Thanks adsum glad you are feeling ok today.

Hi ted and mrsbri thanks for calming me down. Dh did a good job too, although he knows nothing about preg tests.

kittykatsforever · 14/02/2013 18:20

Glad you are home safe adsum, hope dh is spoiling you tonight and not expecting too much with ds, I've just been told I can go and lie down for half an hour without dd, dh has been off today but she has been in nursery, it's so nice just having half an hour!
When, I'm sure if you had done the test tomorrow morning it would have shown a slight difference but I agree it does take a few days to notice, what you have to remember is the test at yesterday's early stage would have only been picking up a hcg of about 10 it's that sensitive and today it'd only be between 13-15, it's that small a difference and takes 48-72hrs to double, it's when you'd going from the thousands that the difference is so noticeable, the crying is a good sign, your hormonal!!!

twinklestar2 · 14/02/2013 18:28

Glad your home and well adsum.

When - big hugs love, don't cry :)

RedRobin1 · 14/02/2013 20:09

Big hug when few more days and the line will be undoubtedly dark just keep faith and stay positive. Like others have said crying is a good sign.

In other news I successfully seduced DH. I left a trail of notes all the way to the bedroom so when he got home he knew where to find me. Best dtd in ages and a very happy DH and I am "full of sperm"

OP posts:

twinklestar2 · 14/02/2013 20:31

yaay well done red!

Thingymajigs · 14/02/2013 20:37

red I am impressed. The most spontaneous and suggestive I get is to flash my boobs when I get out of the bath. I really need to get out of this rut that TTC has thrown me in.
Only on CD 6 but need to get on with dtd because I seem to be ovulating earlier and earlier.
Hugs to you when and adsum.

RedRobin1 · 14/02/2013 21:16

thingy I was in the same rut the last few months. Don't know what got into me today (possibly when's news and it being V day) I even got my Ann summers gear on. DH very very happy

OP posts:

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 14/02/2013 21:41

red check you out Ann Summers gear as well no wonder your dh was happy. Well done.

Did another test have peed on £15 worth of first reserves in 2 days the last one is very very slightly darker than yesterday's.

Still worried but feeling a bit better now.

thingy best of luck dtd

twinklestar2 · 14/02/2013 22:33

I'm going to allow myself to symptom spot! I'm 9 DPO (if I believe the monitor). I had sore boobs yesterday and today my wine tastes really, really weird like its fizzy. Oh says it doesn't taste weird. It might be because I've really cut back on booze or.......
