AF/BFP due next Tues 10th/Wed 11th....wanna wait with me?!

[angelgabe]

Month 7 of TTC and keeping my fingers crossed we'll get a wonderful Christmas present!

Thanks mummybare and Kitkat, congrats angel babe that's great news!! After 7 months tyc you deserve it!! That woman sounds awful loveyouthree, I hope you told her otherwise!! So rude!!

Ahh, have worked the discharge out this morning. AF arrived first thing as my Friday the 13th surprise... Just in time for a 14 hour shift.

On the positive side, it's put an end to all my confusion, and (assuming a more regular cycle next month) my fertile days should coincide with the time off me and DH have over Christmas, which will be quite handy. Here's to some guilt-free Christmas drinking!

Best of luck to everyone testing today. Will keep checking in and seeing how you are all doing. We need another BFP!

Aww, sorry to hear that KitKat.

I'm not sure whether to test this evening or wait till tomorrow morning.

If I am I feel a bit guilty about the rare steak and glass of wine last night and the brie sandwich at lunch today. In my defence, it was supposed to be medium, it was a small wine that I didn't finish and I only realised what I was doing halfway through the sandwich. But still...

What did you decide to do in the end mummybare? Test this evening or tomorrow? x

KitKat i'm sorry as well. That sounded like implantation bleeding!

Mummbare i'd get the cheese and rare steak in now "while you don't know"!! Hope you get a good result tomorrow....fingers crossed for you.
I have lots of cramping and keep racing to the toilet as I keep thinking my AF is going to arrive still.
I'm thinking of you all and hoping your next cycles will provide BFP's!

Mummybare keep us posted!
Thank you all for your lovely words of congratulations
xx

Erm, so I tested last night AND this morning and got two bfns.

I still 'feel pregnant', but I'm probably completely delusional getting a bit carried away.

Still, at least my complete cluelessness about my cycle and the lack of AF means there's still a glimmer of hope.

Good luck to all the rest of you still hoping for a bfp!

I think mummybare that you are still in with a chance since AF hasn't shown up. Maybe you ovulated late?

Just wanted to say congrats again angelgabe. Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy! x

Hey all, still no sign of period! Very confused.

I can't have ovulated when I had a HUGE (sorry if tmi) amount of ewcm, because that was on cd12-13, and I'm now on cd32 (longest cycle for a very long time). Bfn on Friday morning, not even a hint of a line.

I must have ovulated late but DP and I have barely dtd since then so I don't think I'll be having an August baby.

Is everyone ok? Any updates?

Sorry to hear you got AF, KitKat, but I'm glad you're not in limbo anymore :)

Oooh, maybe test again tomorrow loveyouthree?

I've run out of tests

And also run out of hope, ha, so probably will just leave it for at least a week now. Frustrating!

Aww, don't run out of hope, Loveyou!

Have been trying to distract myself the past few days, then I realised this morning I've made a bit of a balls-up. That funeral last month where I was on my period, that I thought was on the 13th, was in fact on the 20th. So it has been too early to test, which is great news and I think it's still possible that I'm pg - yay! - but I 'm so annoyed with myself for being so silly and causing myself so much stress!

Will retest in a couple of days.

Mummybare - yay! Still hope! Please keep us updated.

As for me... Can anyone advise?!

Finally yesterday evening (cd33), I had some light pink when I wiped. I thought FINALLY, AF is here, and I can start over again. I have quite heavy periods so expected today to be the lovely full flow gush of bright red blood ( tmi, I know!).

However... It was a little bit pink. And then very dark brown (put a pad in to check, there hasn't been much though). What the...?! I want to think implantation bleeding... But why would it come now? I don't get it

When do you think you'll test, mummybare?

Is it possible you ov'd really late Loveyou? As someone who's always had a long/irregular cycle, it seems likely to me. And if so, would the timing have been right to make a bfp a possibility? (Can you tell I've been having the same thought process over the past week or so? )

I think I'm going to test again tomorrow morning, which, according to my revised calculations (ahem…) will be CD29, which may or may not be a bit early, but I think I'd rather get a bfn than spend the whole day wondering!

Keep me posted Loveyou. Any further developments since your last post? I've still got my fingers crossed for us both!

Bfn. Although for a minute or two I did think I could see a very very VERY faint line. But actually I think I was hallucinating.

I will test again tomorrow because I enjoy torturing myself .

Argh not sure about timing! Still suffering the weirdest period ever though. It's just a little bit of dark brown each day, sometimes with a bit of pink when I wipe. Haven't even needed a tampon. And normally I need super plus extra ones

I know it's weird but I want a normal period!! This pathetic attempt at one is making me want to test in a week or so, which is crazy cos I know it'll be bfn :(

I've also started taking the pill now :( really dont want to, but I think it's for the best.

mummybare :( really hope it WAS a faint line. So close to Christmas too!

Ps love you three here

I had the same thing again! It wasn't enough of a 'line' to even be sure it was there... Aaarrgghh! Will test again tomorrow and may even break out the second Superdrug test.

Any news from your end Loveyou?

Omg. So maybe?!?! I trust superdrug tests implicitly

As for me... I ordered some amazon cheapies. Slight waste of money, but only £2 ish. So what the hell.

My weird "period" seems to have ended... So that was Sunday evening to Wednesday of slight brown/pink bleeding. Well, spotting. Will test when the cheapies get here then every day after that

I've bought LOADS of alcohol for Christmas though, damn it!

So we're both firmly in limbo then!

I'm so glad I got those cheapies - I'd be tying myself in knots otherwise. Ok, I am anyway, but you know what I mean! It does help being able to test obsessively regularly.

Here's hoping both our Christmas wishes come true
(sorry, that should have come with some sort of cheesiness alert!) Good luck :)

Yep limbo indeed - although I'm luckily past the tying myself in knots stage, cos I really don't think it's possible now. Although, I don't think I've ever had a period like that before!

How long did your tests take to arrive? We've probably ordered the same ones...

Haha the cheesiness was cute :) good luck to you too :)

It was quite quick - a couple of days I think.

In my defence (cliche-wise), we've got Christmas songs on a loop round here and 19mo DD is running around like a lunatic saying things like 'ho ho ho!' and 'bauble!' and giggling to herself. It's made me go a bit misty eyed.

Ooohh that's really sweet! I LOVE Christmas songs. Why haven't I had any on while I've been cleaning all day?!

Ok, apparently they were dispatched last night , but I reckon they'll be really late cos of Christmas..,

Eeeeeek! Bfp! Broke out the Superdrug test and got a line. A faint one, but definitely a line this time.

DH and I are over the moon, but constantly touching wood etc.

Hope your bfp shows up before Christmas too Loveyou and thanks for keeping me (relatively) sane the past week or two.

Omg omg omg!!!! That is crazy!! So bloody happy for you - you said you didn't believe the negative tests. I knew superdrug wouldn't let you down congratulations mummybare!

Will keep you posted, I'm sure I'm not but at the same time I can't understand why I had the spotting. Argh!

Thank you - I so knew it, didn't I? So glad I'm not completely delusional! I actually did NINE tests before getting a bfp - although being a week out in my calculations didn't help I suppose...

Will keep checking this thread so do let me know how you get on. I still think there's some cause for optimism so will keep my fingers crossed for you.
