Thanks for the lovely welcome! Trying to stay calm and together for DH but it's tough. DH has been amazing considering what he is dealing with - he's been travelling back to visit his parents alot and at the same time religiously sticking to the smep.

Pink It could well be ms - my understanding is that every pregnancy can be different for the same woman so you may have no morning sickness or it can start right away or later on.

Janie I don't know about cb digi. I know with frer then it should be fmu. What do the instructions say?

IBelieveInPink · 15/03/2013 11:33

So Janie? Did you?

JanieLovesCake · 15/03/2013 11:34

Oh crikey I did the cb digi and got a BFP!!!!!!!

yorkiebilb · 15/03/2013 11:47

Woo hoo Janie! Grin

JBrd · 15/03/2013 11:49

Yay Janie!!!

shellshock7 · 15/03/2013 11:59

Wahoo Janie! Grin

JanieLovesCake · 15/03/2013 12:00

You gotta hold my hand jbrd and lucky. I'm in a bit of shock here! I thought I'd be jumping for joy, which I am inside, but still feeling wary!! Eek!

Thunderbuns · 15/03/2013 12:04

Yay janie!!!!!

IBelieveInPink · 15/03/2013 12:09

Yaay! I knew you would! Fantastic news Janie I really pleased. I still in a panic don't worry, so we be there to hold your hand all the way and throw fish when required

Thunderbuns · 15/03/2013 12:15

Hi there yorkie! , it's lovely to see you. What a tough time you and DH are having- but I am glad you are here.

pink my 'ms' last time was regular erm...loose stools as it were Wink.

SpanishLady · 15/03/2013 12:33

whoo hoo - came in to see the Friday poas ladies and tremendous news! Many congrats Jbrd, Lucky and Janie!!

I believe and shell - I dont think 'the fear' dissipates until you feel more confident and when that will be, will probably be different person by person - I have this thing about getting to the point where I miscarried (8weeks 4 days) though rationally I get that it can actually happen anytime!

I think Jbrd said about expecting to feel elated at getting a bfp but feeling anxious instead - that is exactly how I felt - like a whoo ho, oh hold on Im here again oh god.

Have worked out that give or take the 2 weeks between my pregnancies and weeks you arent even pregnant but are still counted - I have been in the 1st trimester since 2nd December 2012!

I am extremely grateful for the BFP and the chance of a baby but would love to have a wee without having to say a prayer first!

more bfps please!

Lucky13ForBaby · 15/03/2013 12:57

Hi Yorkie. Welcome back. Sorry things are really difficult for you right now but great your back in the running for a BFP.

Waaahhhhooo Janie :) -Think my cycle matches yours!

Agree all you are saying about being weary. I'm to scared to even do a digital. Although I did test with an OPK and was greeted with a smiley which made me feel good :)

Garden: Sorry yes I meant early test before not eat test! Yucky!

Can't remember who said about the symptoms but thank you for the info. Good to hear. I just so hope its going to work out this time but am struggling with the positivinfrigity a little!

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 15/03/2013 13:09

See! Everything is ok of you stick to the system! Grin

Bakingtins · 15/03/2013 13:16

Congratulations Janie!

Welcome back, Yorkie hope better things are on the way for you and you are joining the pregnancy thread soon too.

Such fantastic news ladies - I so happy for you and all the BFPs!!

I have finally got a positive OPK result today with a darker second line so I will be busy this weekend Wink

My miscarriage was a month ago today so getting a positive OPK has cheered me up - looks like my body is getting back to normal (ish) xx

BootyBigFatFridayBanger · 15/03/2013 14:44

Yay Janie!! GrinGrin Such great news!

I hope the lucky Friday BFP run will go on & on!!

Thunderbuns · 15/03/2013 14:50

please can we have another list? I need someone organised to do it as I can't abandon my system enforcement role

yorkiebilb · 15/03/2013 15:33

Ahh shucks you're all so nice and welcoming. Hiya thunder how are you doing? Saw you were put on some medication - how are you feeling about it all?

Working from home today and am meant to be writing my work objectives for the next year and what I want to submit to them is my ttc objectives instead! e.g.

  1. Increase cm output by 40%.
  2. Increase quantity and quality of DH's sperm count by 50%
  3. Increase posifrickintivity on ttc after mc thread by 80% through offering guidance, support and advice.
  4. Get a 100% sticky BFP!

I don't mind organising the list just can't remember what details we are including on there! If someone starts off I can collate all together!

Thunderbuns · 15/03/2013 15:57

Hey yorkie, yeah I started on the drugs this week and I'll be taking them forever now. It really is not a big deal so I'm fine in that respect. On the other hand I know having these crazy blood levels will have seriously scuppered my chances this month or into the future months too probably and this has made me feel totally gutted if I'm honest. I'm delighted for all the bfps on here of course, they make my week, but the thought of just not having a chance of graduating with all my buddies makes me Sad Sad Sad

Sob story over. I'm loving your list! did I mention I'm glad you're back?!
So where are you in your cycle now?

icklemssunshine1 · 15/03/2013 16:18

Congratulations on all the BFPs! I hope the Friday luck continues for when its my time to test! Must be both a happy and anxious time, sending all my love & luck to your little beans :)

Rang Gynae ward today & still bleeding & you all were right. If no pain or heavy bleeding they're not concerned even though its 16 days post ERPC. Just annoyed as got positive ovulation Weds. Grr - just hope DTD Weds is enough, don't want to try again til bleeding stops again.

Hope everyone else is feeling full of positivity!! :)

yorkiebilb · 15/03/2013 16:37

ahh thanks thunder I'm glad to be back amongst you all too. It's much better to deal with all the ttc drama with people that understand.

I'm not surprised you feel that way thunder - how was it diagnosed? Did the docs say if that could have caused your mc and how long it would take to get your blood levels to even out? Questions questions!

I'm 2DPO. Continuing the drama I've been having pains throughout my cycle and a seriously long af so the doc referred me to get a pelvic ultrasound. All was fine and ultrasound lady could tell that I had just ovulated. She said that it could take a few months for your bits to settle down after a mc so hopefully thats what it is.

She did tell me to relax over the ttc - I laughed at her comment and told her that was a bit difficult to do that after a mc!!! This was the women who told me she planned the month she was going to conceive as she wanted to give birth at a particular time of year. Whatever!

Adding myself to the list. If people post their stats I can add them to the list.
