Hmmm. Sounds promising. Definitely try again tomorrow. My fingers are crossed soooooo tight for you. xx

IBelieveInPink · 07/03/2013 16:31

Eeek! Shell! Test again in morning. Ooh is Friday testing back on?
Your choices are, don't drink any more and hold it and test again later. Or do one in the morning.

Thunderbuns · 07/03/2013 17:02

FRIDAY SYSTEM!!

alyant79 · 07/03/2013 17:08

ooooooh shell exciting....
retest in morning, but it'll still be faint then too, right? so make sure you have enough to test again and again, and again, and again

shellshock7 · 07/03/2013 17:09

pink unless AF arrives it will be both!!! Aaaggghhh this is torture, early testing is no good for our sanity Grin

So tell me positive stories abt mild cramping in pregnancy please!

ChristineDaae · 07/03/2013 17:21

Fingers crossed for you Shell! Im driving myself mad already, had the hospital last Thur and my levels were down to 147. They told me to test again in 10days-2weeks and call back if it's still positive, but I want to check NOW and then I know all the TTC I'm doing might actually work... Confused

Lieslvontrapp · 07/03/2013 18:18

Fingers crossed shell!

Well I'm so pleased to report that first af has arrived 9 weeks and 6 days after erpc. Feel like we can now move on and start ttc!

IBelieveInPink · 07/03/2013 18:56

Yay lies! Woohoo!

Shell, I have had cramping in every one of my PGs. (however I know this doesn't sound positive as neither of them ended well) but each time k was assured by multiple sources that early cramping is fine, it is things stretching.
Which, btw, I also have. Is most likely af on way for me. Probably. Maybe. Hmm.

Lieslvontrapp · 07/03/2013 19:08

Ok so maybe I'm getting ahead of myself but just downloaded an app which says if we get pregnant this cycle baby will be due end december. It just feels a huge positive step forward to be able to think ahead like this.

Good luck for poas Friday. Looking forward to joining you soon!

Thunderbuns · 07/03/2013 19:21

Hi girls.

You back to Friday poas again now pink then?

Hooray liesl!

jmf294 · 07/03/2013 19:21

Fingers crossed for you Shell.
Hurray for your AF returning Liesel.

Yes this cycle is my last chance for a 2013 due date.
I am day 3 of my cycle so there is a few of us around the same stage.

I looked at the Facebook page today of Saying Goodbye- an organisation that has services all over the country to say goodbye to lost pregnancies and babies.
There was a video on the page- I watched it at work and cried a lot
Not cried for ages before today but it still hurts.

IBelieveInPink · 07/03/2013 19:25

Well, I can't mess with the system can I thunder ;)

Thunderbuns · 07/03/2013 19:26

I can't argue with that lovely pink!

IBelieveInPink · 07/03/2013 19:31

Do you think it too early? 11 dpo? With an Internet cheapy?

JanieLovesCake · 07/03/2013 19:54

ooooh shell exciting!! i imagine you'll be setting your alarm very early for tomorrow eek!! i have also had cramping and i'm on 7dpo (thought i was 8 but got my maths wrong doh)...how will i hold out for another week! miss thunder do i have permission to test next thursday pleeeeeeease?

and woop woop for you liesl you beat me by one day! may the future begin :) i think i still hold the record at 10 weeks on the button!

so with my symptom spotting... cramps, stuffy nose, feeling like a blown up balloon, and we also went to a restaurant for tea tonight that we went to when i was pregnant last time...does that count as a symptom?!

IBelieveInPink · 07/03/2013 19:58

Janie. Definitely counts as a symptom. Most definitely. :)

JanieLovesCake · 07/03/2013 20:00

nice one pink. i knew i liked you :)

shellshock7 · 07/03/2013 20:42

lies that's good news...bring on a December baby Smile

pink do it do it do itGrin

So did another test and again very faint line didn't appear till after the 10 mins so should be read as invalid...just gotta wait again till tomorrow Confused

CamomileHoneyVanilla · 07/03/2013 21:24

I apologise in advance for tmi. Two questions about ewcm.

So, ewcm. It appeared today, more than usual, after a particularly vigorous sneeze. Is more cm usual after mc or did it... Uh... all 'appear' at once because of the sneeze?

Also, can't dtd tonight as both far too poorly. Does obv happen after ewcm (ie if we feel better tomorrow might it be on time)??

Good luck shell and Janie. Got my fingers and toes crossed for you pink.

Congrats lies. I do feel at least two or three of us minimum should get Christmas babies.

Jmf, hope you're feeling ok post-cry. Sending hugs.

What a shitty day My brother was diagnosed with cancer today Was I a bastard in a previous life or something?

IBelieveInPink · 07/03/2013 22:27

Fod- fuck. Sorry, no other words for it. Fuck. What exactly does nature think it is playing at right now? I am so sorry. Is it treatable? Hope you are holding up okay.

JanieLovesCake · 07/03/2013 22:35

oh fod i'm so sorry. your emotions must be mangled right now. i hope you and your family can get through this horribly tough time. sending you hugs x

camo i hope you're feeling better by tomorrow so you can get on it ;) i do get quite a lot of ewcm, not noticed if i've sneezed beforehand though! maybe i notice it more since mc because i'm looking for it, whereas i wasn't a wiper checker before!

fod27 · 07/03/2013 22:51

He had found a lump but left it, it's now spread they have given him a 20 % survival rate....he's only 27! Everytime I feel like we are moving forward life seems to kick me in the guts and knock me ten steps back ;( the hope of pregnancy gives me something to cling to for now it also puts things into perspective

IBelieveInPink · 07/03/2013 23:16

Oh fod. Thanks

shellshock7 · 07/03/2013 23:25

Oh fod I'm so sorry and I really hope he can beat it x
