The talk of big guns and digi tests has given me a laugh this morning, I am so glad to see it confirmed for you science and missv!

Congratulations dideaya!! Details please Smile!

Thisisme. Sorry that af has turned up, good luck for your next cycle. Stay on this bus and let us know how you get on?

Greentea- I'm sorry for your loss. Thinking of you and I hope your next cycle is the one for you.

Lucy, I like babyspices way of looking at it! Fingers crossed for you. No afs should be allowed to appear here!

POAS anonymous is well under way in the barmy house today. Barmy by name, barmy by nature it feels like at the moment! I gave up on sleep at 5.30am and decided a FRER was the way forward. Not a line in sight! So back to some cheapie or other, asda I think, and there is a barely there line. I've put a photo up but, can anyone actually see anything? I am half sure I am making these stupid lines up!

Mammabear- I look forward to hearing how you get on come Wednesday! Your approach is so much more sensible than mine has been over the last week. My constant testing this weekend in particular has been because of wanting to know before family members go away for two months and I desperately wanted to be able to tell them in person before they left today if a bfp did appear but that's not happened so that urgency has passed. Good luck to you!

Thanks for the welcome everybody.

Fromage I was convinced AF was coming last pregnancy, cramps and backache convinced me it would be BFN. But AF never appeared and 4 days later got my BFP! Keeping my fingers crossed for you and everyone else.

sazzlehopes · 09/12/2013 10:21

Congrats! Missv and science lovely to have it in actual words. So happy for you both.
And to the two new possible bfp's as well this morning...please keep us updated and let us know all the details!

Sleepingstar- so sorry to hear what's been going on with you. I really hope you get your bfp this month and that all is well in pregnancy. I cannot even begin to imagine what that is like. This bus is a lovely supportive mad one, take a comfy seat and eat some cake with us crazy ladies!

ScienceGeekGirl · 09/12/2013 10:22

Thanks gilly I was so chuffed when you got your BFP and finally I get to join the club. How is everything going with your pregnancy?

RoseHoney · 09/12/2013 10:49

I got a BFP this morning! Due 18th August Smile

babyspice2501 · 09/12/2013 11:05

Ah congratulations rosehunny!! Fantastic news! :) a lovely summer baby it is for you!

GillyBillyWilly · 09/12/2013 11:12

15 weeks todaySmile

12 week scan went well and everything was fine.... Got my 20 week scan on 20th January Smile

I had a few weeks of really bad nausea , intense tiredness and a bit of sickness but it's passed in the last week or so.... Although I'm still tired a lot of the time!

Looking forward to my 20 week scan so it can see the baby again and also just for reassurance as I'm at that stage now where symptoms like sickness and sore boobs are easing off but I still don't really have a bump so I wonder if everything is still ok in there!!!!

akachan · 09/12/2013 11:13

Wow this thread has moved on!!

Congrats to all the BFPs!

GillyBillyWilly · 09/12/2013 11:13

Due date is 2nd June Smile

Cherieblossom · 09/12/2013 11:40

Congrats to all the BFPs!!!
AF has come so am onto the next bus!
Actually relieved as I PMSed badly this month and for some reason my cycle is shorter (27d)
Back onto agnus cactus and off to lots of dtd around Xmas time
Enjoy your good news to all the girls who got them and good luck to everyone else
Xx

ps congrats rose Grin Grin

mama31 · 09/12/2013 13:14

Hi ladies! Nice to see the bfp's stacking up!! :) congrats to you all!! And def let's hear the details!

Well I am between 7-10 dpo I reckon, not quite sure but cd21 for me. Last 5 cycles have been 23d, 26d, 23d, 25d and 27d so I have no idea when to expect af! But boobs are very tender so spotting will prob start very soon! I could be due between 12-16th December so not testing until next Monday if af by some miracle does not show up! Not holding out much hope have all the pre af symptoms already so just waiting! Determined to enjoy Christmas anyway! And will be indulging to the max!

Hope you are all well and enjoying the festivities! :)

Knottyknitter · 09/12/2013 13:28

well this thread has exploded since last time I popped in!

cd 17, cramping last night & this morning. gok what it means. refusing to poas so early though, not due till 25/12!

PunkyPod · 09/12/2013 13:35

Barmy i can't get onto your profile to check the photo.

Congratulations for the BFPs that are rolling in along with a sprinkling of Christmas glitter!

Well, AF has hopped off now (hopefully for the next 9 months) and next week i'll be pouncing on DP!

RoseHoney · 09/12/2013 14:12

Thank you everyone!!
I did 3 tests this morning and all have a faint positive, not too faint so they're clearly noticeable but not strong positives yet!
We had actually stopped ttc for a while but typically I've fallen pregnant the month after we've decided to stop! Not a problem though Smile
I'm only on CD 24 so didn't expect to get a positive but after nearly puking all over my children this morning I thought it's best I POAS and here I am!

PunkyPod · 09/12/2013 14:28

oohh Barmy i can definitely see the line. Will you test again tomorrow? How far in your cycle are you right now? I'm going to say congratulations bus conductor!!!

LittleOwlie · 09/12/2013 14:31

Hi Barmy,

I can't see too well...but I do think I can see a line!!

Tentative Congratulations!!! Xmas Grin

Thanks Punky and LittleOwlie, it's very easy to imagine these things there I think! I gave in earlier and show DH today's, he says he can see thing but he won't commit that it's a line Smile. The fact that AF is later than its been before is giving me tentative hope.

From what I can work out, I'm around 14-18dpo (cd41). I think I must have ovulated at the later date so that would make me 14dpo. AF normally arrives at 10dpo, but I have been taking B6 this cycle so I'm still not sure if it's just that.

I really should wait a few days but given the last week, I will no doubt test again tomorrow. I'm feeling vaguely more hopeful.
