Where has flylikeabird gone I need more info on her possible bfp!!!

sazzlehopes · 21/11/2013 12:10

Oooh fly - i can see a very feint line! Buy a diggie or a frer and confirm tomorrow at the party! Exciting stuff!

Loving the mulled wine and marshmallows girls good shout.

Ok, confession time. I'm an idiot and just did a ic preggo test. It was obviously a bfn. I don't know why I bothered - I can only be 8dpo at the MOST. I was doing really well ignoring everything but i cracked this morning but used smu so that isn't great either - right? RIGHT? Clutching at pregnacy tests straws....

I'll test again tomorrow - but i have no symptoms, at all.

SaraRB123 · 21/11/2013 12:13

Haaa sazzle I can beat that, I can only be 6dpo at the very most (although more like 3-4 if I'm honest!!) and when my ICs arrived yesterday I thought ooh I could do one in the morning!! Although I didn't because I felt so silly, but it's too tempting isn't it. You're right about timing though, try tomorrow at the party with FMU and while you're waiting grab a marshmallow hands sazzle the bag and sit right til tomorrow xx

sazzlehopes · 21/11/2013 12:18

Thanks Sara, i'm such a wally! After 12 months you'd have thought I'd have learnt my lesson - i'm a sucker for poas punishment!
I will use fmu tomorrow definitely. We will see what happens.....

SaraRB123 · 21/11/2013 12:20

I'm sorry my memory is crap - I know I've probably read this somewhere, but is this your first?

SaraRB123 · 21/11/2013 12:24

Ahh never mind...think I remember this will be your 2nd?

sazzlehopes · 21/11/2013 12:29

Yes 2nd. First was a lot easier to conceive!!

SaraRB123 · 21/11/2013 12:34

Were you ttc #1 or was it a lovely surprise?! This would be my first...I never realised how difficult it would be Hmm

sazzlehopes · 21/11/2013 13:36

No we were - using opk but it only took 3 months and we didn't seem to put in as much effort as we have this time round?!
How long have you been trying for? I am older now so maybe things just aren't as easy...

SaraRB123 · 21/11/2013 13:49

I've only actually been off the pill for a month - so I probably sound very neurotic...but it's just so weird this whole process. I've learnt so much from this thread, about which days we are most fertile, the window of waiting time before testing, symptom spotting, opks...it's just a minefield. I was always so very careful during our 9 year relationship NOT to get pregnant, and in the mind set that 'it only takes one strong swimmer!!' And being terrified that little swimmer had enough tools to get through all my contraception methods because as a teenager that was what my mum drilled into me!! But now that we actually want a baby it's all about timing etc. it's so very daunting, don't you think? Shock

FlyLikeABird · 21/11/2013 14:28

It sounds like you are all tucked up under duvets, drinking hot toddys in front of a roaring fire! I hope those who are poorly feel better soon Brew

Thanks for having a look at the test, I'm not convinced so I'm going to test again in a couple of days if AF stays away with the remaining Superdrug test and if there is still a feint line I will get a digi. I don't really want to spend 8 quid on one unless I have to

Sazzle I had no symptoms at all with my first pregnancy, to be honest I thought the test was wrong Grin, nothing at the moment either. You still could be getting that BFP tomorrow!

SaraRB123 · 21/11/2013 14:41

Fly!! In a couple of days?? How will you restrain yourself!! Do it tomorrow at mamas party Wink

sazzlehopes · 21/11/2013 14:50

Fly - so impressed you can restrain yourself! I had no symptoms with first either but being on these threads makes you start looking for things! Good luck in a few days time - we'll probably still be here under duvets so please pop in to pee and let us know...!

Sara I'm trying to not let it become daunting otherwise it will take over my life!

SaraRB123 · 21/11/2013 15:08

Sazzle I know what you mean. But the other thing at the back of my mind is 'relax, it'll happen when it's the right time' ... Easier said than done when your womb does a little flip every time you pass a newborn!!!

spinningirl10 · 21/11/2013 15:12

Haha Sazzle.....I poas as well!!!!

BfnHmm don't know why I even did it as I'm sure af is on its way! When will we learn Grin but you are early so still time for you to get your bfp!!! Would be so lovely to have some at Mamas party tomorrowGrin

And I agree that this while thing takes over your life.....every minute. I really hope we can all gets our sticky bfps soonGrin

Oh to hell with it ....who's for another mulled wine/hot toddy. Lets just stay in here Infront of the fire.....shall we watch The Holiday again?

SaraRB123 · 21/11/2013 15:16

Spinning totally up for the holiday - one of my faves. Stuff it, I will have a mulled wine - maybe it will soothe my throat. Who's for a bit of toffee??

sazzlehopes · 21/11/2013 15:16

Spinning!!!!!!!! Arghhhhh what is wrong with us?! HA. Ok, how many dpo are you? Yes clinging on desperately that I'm too early, but I do that every month! Will test again tomorrow morning....

In the meantime though defo pass me another mulled wine, and I'll happily watch the Holiday again Grin

HalfPintLulu · 21/11/2013 15:22

Hey guys, think on going to duck out of the party tomorrow. Got a nasty surprise when AF showed up earlier today 5 days earlier than expected :(

Good luck to anyone testing tomorrow. Fingers and toes crosses for you all x

SaraRB123 · 21/11/2013 15:24

Oh no lulu, have some mulled wine and come and watch the holiday x

spinningirl10 · 21/11/2013 15:53

Lulu, sorry to hear that, come and have a glass of mulled wine with us and some of Sara's toffee, good luck for next cycleThanks

Sazzle, I'm not sure but I think 12dpo. FF had me down as ov'ing later but with mc last month it could be a bit messed up!!!

Budge up ladies let get this film on and cheer us all up.....someone give Mama a nudge, she's been enjoying those hot toddys todayWinkGrin

mama31 · 21/11/2013 16:37

(puts the holiday on and a big fluffy blanket over everyone and more logs on the fire)

Hiccup!!! Oh yes I think your right....one too many hot toddy's ;)

broodysnoopstie · 21/11/2013 17:10
