Lol lucyfluff! Id blummin love it if it was!

laravh · 11/12/2013 16:56

baby once you've had your initial solid smiley it wont show it again. Its not broken. It assumes that you have two days of peak. So carry on with your dtd plan for a couple more days to make sure you catch that egg. OV normally happens 24-48 hours after that first peak. Good luck

mssleepyhead · 11/12/2013 16:59

Hi babyspice when you get a solid smiley it stays like that for two days and you don't put a new stick in. That's your highly fertile time - just go do it!

My stick holder did two months, now I need to decide whether to buy a new one!

all others thanks for the niceness today : ) so lovely to stop by and see how well everyone's doing. Another great great great day!

Still just feeling bloated here, and yawny, but I think that might just be end-of-term-itus. No other symptoms and AF due in the next couple of days, bit irregular at the moment...

Feels like maybe even tonight... On to next month!

Lucy omg!!! Mega excited for you, you have to test tomorrow!!!!

So sorry mama, gutted for you :(

Going in to change drs tomorrow and arrange booking appt so will see if I can ask someone then.

babyspice2501 · 11/12/2013 17:12

Hey ladies I'm sadly off this bus, didn't ovulate on Clomid 50mg after all and what showed on u/s was actually a big cyst Hmm back to the clinic next week to decide what to do. Good luck to the rest of you xx

MundayCakes85 · 11/12/2013 17:47

Busy, chatty day on the bus it seems.
Congrats to the new BFPs!
Lucy my little POAS twin, fingers crossed firmly for your BFP on Friday- for some 13 is a lucky number!
Mama sorry to hear you started spotting, we'll all miss you on here. You've cheered me up so many times over the past few months with your ttc antics!
Hope everyone's wrapped up warm tonight, think it'll be an early night for me

cottonwool4brains · 11/12/2013 18:29

BFN on free. Due af probably on Friday. I guess thats me on the January bus......

cottonwool4brains · 11/12/2013 18:30

Or frer even

spinningirl10 · 11/12/2013 18:56

Misssleepy and cotton....keeping fx that af doesn't show up for you!

I've just had a difficult conversation with my sister! She's 38 and has no children although she and her husband hoped to have a baby next year. She hasn't had any periods for quite some time and she came off the pill in April hoping they might return as she has been on the pill for 20years. So since April they have been having unprotected sex. I had said to her a few times that she should get back to the doctor and push for a hospital referral so she went today. To cut a long a story short the doctor thinks she is going through early menopause Hmm She has to have blood tests but can't get them done till the 20th and then has to wait 10 days for the results!

I feel so sad for her, she doesn't know I'm trying for a 3rd child and I know if it doesn't happen for me then I'm so lucky to have my two gorgeous children.

Her husband is lovely and they have been together for nearly 18years, he's told her not to worry until she gets the results from the blood test. I told her the same but she says her doctor was pretty sure that it is the menopause.

Anyway I don't know what I expect you to say, I just wanted to share. She doesn't want to tell anyone else until she gets her results, I'm keeping everything crossed that she gets a good outcome.....thanks for reading this very long post!!

cottonwool4brains · 11/12/2013 19:00

Oh spinning your poor sister, I hope her gp is wrong. Xx

babyspice2501 · 11/12/2013 19:08

Oh spinning big hugs to you and I wish all the luck in the world for your sister. Dont feel bad about having a third although I know you cant help how you feel but you will be making her an auntie for the 3rd time and nothing but joy can come from that. You sound like a close and lovely family and just remember its what you give to eachother in life like love and support thats important.

We will keep our fx for her and here for a chat when you need it xxxxx

spinningirl10 · 11/12/2013 19:16

Thank you cotton and baby....you're all so kind here and your points about her being an Aunty to my children are very true. If I'm lucky enough to get a sticky bfp soon I will try and involve her as much as possible if she wants to be.....just hoping the gp is wrong. He did say its very rare to go though the menopause at her age!!

SoMuchFruit · 11/12/2013 19:18

Haven't caught up properly, will do later BUT .. potentially gross question first ??

Is 10hr stashed pee worth testing ???

I was out way longer than I thought but now have tests.. bother or test in morning ? Is in a cold place (NOT THE FRIDGE!) ...

I am astonished that I would ever have need to ask this question....

Feelingfatty · 11/12/2013 19:22

So much fruit, I think that'll be fine, no different if your doctor sends pee off?? Xx

spinningirl10 · 11/12/2013 19:26

So much.....it will be fine, just give it a stir!!! Go test now.....we'll be waiting!!! Grin

babyspice2501 · 11/12/2013 19:42

Yes spinning that sounds lovely and you never know she may be your birthing partner! My sister was for my 2 and ive been hers for all 3. I know some people who cant have kids would love to see the baby actually being born thing. That might be something for you but its your body so completely understand if you decide not to. I just thought it could be an idea. Hope all goes well for her and pray the docters are wrong xx

babyspice2501 · 11/12/2013 19:53

Somuch... good luck with your cold pee!! ;) let us know asap!!!

SoMuchFruit · 11/12/2013 19:54

Ok.. so I stirred and dipped (eeeeuw) and now I don't know!!

There is the faintest of faint pink lines.. but really really faint. Don't know if Evap or BFP Confused .. it came up slowly, got stronger towards the 3min mark and more discernable now (9mins?)

What now ? I have one more test. Wait for FMU ?

LH1981 · 11/12/2013 19:57

so much pic??
I'd wait til morning (well, I wouldn't, but you should lol) Grin

Good luck!!!!! X

Choccywoccydodah · 11/12/2013 19:58

SMF that's what happened with mine so I'd say a bfp!!
Try again in the morning to be sure but I'd say congratulations are in order!, Grin

Choccywoccydodah · 11/12/2013 19:58

Spinning so sorry about your sister, I bet she is devastated. I hope the results come back that she's not going through it, poor thing :(

SoMuchFruit · 11/12/2013 19:59

My nerves!!! Frayed to the max now!

How do I post a pic ? Camera on current phone is rubbish too but can try.

Choccy I really hope so and this isn't an evap line. It's very very faint.

spinningirl10 · 11/12/2013 19:59

Baby.....before my mc I had wondered if she would like to present at my birth, she works in care so isn't at all squeamish....unlike me!! And she gets on really well with my dp so it could be a possibility.....thank you for your kind words.
