It was just an IC. Not got a good feeling bout this month so will no doubt keep testing til af arrives whatever. I didn't last month either as I was on holiday and deliberately too no sticks!

Hope you are ok sebs any changes we make to our bodies and lifestyle can impact on cycles it seems. But I do hope in this case it's just thrown your ovulation out and your period is actually due later than you think.

Seen two new borns today and one person literally about to drop. I was suprisingly ok. I think I'm over the crazy jealously now and more just sad, and fed up with my body and ttc. Definately the worst time of my life - ttc a year and a miscarriage. Hurts to say that really with my lovely little boy and husband but its been such a difficult and painful time for me. I so hope it ends soon but I just don't think this month is my month. Again. Bleurgh.

Errrrm I seem up have a very faint BFP on an IC at 10/11 dpo!!!!!!!!!! First response is still saying no, or at least it still looks negative in the half light.

I'm not going to believe it until I get a strong line but cervix still high and soft, temp did a slight dip and up again this morn. Other symptoms are really mild so can't gauge anything by them really.

I guess if I'm duffed that would explain why I missed my period and not what I was or wasn't eating!!! GrinGrin

Liquidambar · 05/10/2013 07:35

oh dear. I very very faint line with frer and "pregnant 1-2 weeks" with cb digital. I am really happy but terrified. I have been in this position before and then AF arrived a couple of days later. sorry for my less positive post. I thought a bfp would mean the world to me but I can only think about what can go wrong

sebs very exciting. try cb digital.

fedupofrainydays · 05/10/2013 07:58

Ah congrats to you both. I did an ic this morn and have an evap. No proper tests in the house but I don't think I'm pregnant to be honest so not sure will both spending the cash!

fedupofrainydays · 05/10/2013 08:00

liquid I know what you mean. Bfp is the first hurdle... If and when I ever get one again I too will be shit scared. You are pregnant!!! First hurdle, tick!!! Try and stay calm (easier said than done)

AntoinetteCosway · 05/10/2013 08:09

Congrats those with BFPs Grin

I'm on day 31 and have a BFN, but my cycle varies from 26 to 35 days anyway so I might not even be late yet. Tbh I just want this period to turn up so I can start temping properly.

2beornot · 05/10/2013 17:57

Congratulations on the BFP. I understand being nervous, I'll be the same if it ever happens for me! One step at a time though!

sebsmummy1 · 05/10/2013 20:49

I tested again this evening and could see a shadow, OH could also see it. Still not convinced though! Will see what the morning brings, good luck everyone that's waiting to test xxxxx

AbiBub · 05/10/2013 21:55

Hey ladies. Im still lurking to see how you're all getting on. hope you dont mind?

Congrats to ladies who have got their result.

Biggest hugz to all who have had their af's arrive. Keeping my fx for your next cycle.

And keeping my pinkies crossed for all those waiting or in the throws of retesting a little later po days.

Missed chatting to you lovely ladies so sending Thanks hugz your way. xxx

misshoohaa · 05/10/2013 22:25

Good news ladies!

Seb, hoping it turns into a proper line in the morning.

Congrats Liquid! Sticky vibes for you!

Fedup - big fingers crossed for you my love, hope you get your BFP this month but remember it will happen! It's happened before, you will get your number 2, and he/she will be worth the wait x

I've felt like absolute crap the last two days, nausea and constipation kind of feeling, light headed and just yuck. Think it's tiredness but of course the crazy baby lady in me is wondering if I'm pregnant. Only 5 days post ovulation so unlikely but logic doesn't come into these things!

Hi Abi Grin how's our pregnant ones? X

AbiBub · 06/10/2013 00:37

Hey miss! Still keeping fx for you for sure. And for all on this thread waiting and working bloody hard towards their bfp, I really hope you all get them soon! Big hugz to you all! :0)

Am ok, won't bore you too much with me. Still got nausea and sickness at 15weeks, oh joy! But enough about that. How are you all? And I hope you dont mind me lurking still? :)

sebsmummy1 · 06/10/2013 06:32

Argh, I seem to have a little grainy blood when I wipe, nothing to mark my pants ATM - obviously hoping its implantation blood but will only know as time progresses.

IC test showed nothing of interest this morn. I was up at 5am so haven't really got the light to scrutinise it for any really faint lines, plus I know it takes some people a good few days after an IB to get a true positive.

So I'm going to have to wait this one out!! On the plus side at least if its AF I can start this month afresh Grin

fedupofrainydays · 06/10/2013 09:24

Hope it's IB seb
Another bfn here and think af is looming - back and tummy cramps now. Was trying and failing to not think about it today. Hope you have a good day all and nice to hear things are going well abi!! Even if the nausea is sticking about

sebsmummy1 · 06/10/2013 09:50

Oh fedup I'm so so sorry you think AF is here Sad. TTC really is a cruel thing when it seems never ending, I'm sending you so much luck and dust fedup, truly hope you get your positive soon xxx

We'll it does look as though I am pregnant according to the faint line on the test this morning. Couldn't really see it until the dye cleared properly.
Delighted and hope my spare baby dust helps someone else on here Thanks

Liquidambar · 06/10/2013 11:03

Good morning ladies.

fedup so sorry to hear bout negative result.

Good luck Sebs

I did another test this morning and the the line is faint. Hardly any change from yesterday. I'm already 16dpo and I think the line should be stronger by now. I am not feeling very confident about this little been so I have decided to step away from MN for a while.

Good luck to everyone

sebsmummy1 · 06/10/2013 11:38

Liquid I'm sharing your worry chick. My brown blood started to turn red in me an hour ago. I think only time is going to tell for us xxx

fedupofrainydays · 06/10/2013 12:10

sebs are you testing with Internet cheapies? I get a line / shadow everytime I use them.. They're rubbish and two months ago I got a thick pink line - a total false positive. I hate them.

Fingers crossed for both you and liquid. Hcg takes a couple of days to double so I'm not suprised it's still faint liquid. You take care of yourself and I hope your fears aren't true. Big hugs xx

sebsmummy1 · 06/10/2013 13:22

Yep I am. I have just emptied my mooncup and it was a quarter full of fresh red blood so I will monitor the situation and if there is no real line tomorrow I think we can safely say I'm not pregnant at all. Sad, but if its AF, at least she is here and the m

sebsmummy1 · 06/10/2013 13:36

Month starts again that should have read!!

fedupofrainydays · 07/10/2013 09:06

Oh I wish I would listen to my own advice. I decided to use my last Internet cheapie and I have a line with SMU. But the line came up bout 30 mins after dunking so probably an evap. Dunked my superdrug one in same wee and that's a bfn - although I've looked at it so much I think I'm imagining lines. FFS I'm totally mental!!!

OP posts:
sebsmummy1 · 07/10/2013 09:17

If you are mental then so are most of us round here lol :hug:

Well I am just bleeding and bleeding today and yesterday. Bright red thin blood so I'm pretty sure my body was trying to start a pregnancy but more hormones just weren't strong enough.

I do feel pretty depressed if I'm honest. But I know I need to pull myself together and get over it.

fedupofrainydays · 07/10/2013 09:24

Oh sebs big hugs for you. I so know how you feel and know it will also be me in a couple days time. It's so hard isn't it.

I need to get out the house and away from tests. Away with work tomo and wed so hopefully a good distraction / will hopefully stop me crying when af arrives. I feel scared as not ready for another cycle yet...

OP posts:
fedupofrainydays · 07/10/2013 09:28

My superdrug one also has a line now.. But again after the time limit so I assume just an evap. Need. To. Get. Away. From. The. Tests.

OP posts:
sebsmummy1 · 07/10/2013 10:24

Fed up are you still quite early with your testing? Could this actually be quite a positive thing?

I've decided to ring in some changes as if you keep doing what you've always done you will keep getting the same result.

So with this in mind and the pretty convincing evidence that breast feeding is scuppering my TTC chances, I am going to wean him from two feeds over 24hours down to one feed and I am going to introduce progesterone after ovulation using a cream. Still going to use my clearblue opks and if I conceive I keep using the progesterone cream until 12 weeks when the placenta produces enough to take over.

I am now on operation SME and feel much better Grin

Massive hugs to everyone xxxxx

fedupofrainydays · 07/10/2013 14:52

Not really. Period due tomorrow, poss Wednesday. Both other times I've been pregnant has very strong positive day period was due so would have shown up at least the day before.

Decided I've wasted too much of my life thinking, guessing and worrying so I'm leaving it now. Too draining and tiring.

Good plan with starting afresh with new POA sebs. How old is your little one?

My dad is in hospital so am off to see him. NHS being so slow in diagnosing him and getting his treatment. Ridiculous.
