Morning all Grin

Because, Sorry af got you, good luck on the Jan bus!

A bfn for me again this morning at 11dpo.......I really should learn to wait and see if af arrives and just test if its late!!!! Grin

Boosk · 17/12/2013 07:25

Sorry to hear that Because, enjoy your Christmas and NY and jump on the January bus.

I haven't dared buy any tests yet Spinning, as I'm so impatient usually I don't think I can be trusted with them. Hope that bfn turns into a bfp for you.

spinningirl10 · 17/12/2013 07:29

Boosk....I bought a load of cheap tests strips from Amazon, if I was using shop bought ones that are really pricey I wouldn't be testing daily!! Haha who am I kidding WinkGrin

Boosk · 17/12/2013 07:52

I hadn't heard of ic tests until reading about them on here, so it'll be shop bought for me and a digi for the gift wrapped one. Thinking I might have a sneaky poas on Christmas Eve though. Wink

SoMuchFruit · 17/12/2013 07:59

Hey all,

Meant to report back yesterday but had a house full of people. Sorry to all those that AF had got Thanks

Spinning - WAIT! But I hope your BFN turns into a BFP. FX.

Larahv It's the Veno's for Chesty Coughs I took. Says Expectorant on the front too.

HollyBen I did go to the Drs. And it was unenlightening. That's the calmest way I can put it. Basically..

Went. PIAP (Peed In A Pot). Dripped on little plate-like Pg test. Inconclusive. He did 1. Looked confused. Faint positive line then did appear after about 10mins. Decided to do another, strong line came up, then faded to pale. Doctor scratched head.

Decided on Blood Test and sending remainder of pee to labs. Blood bottled. Pee packaged. Confused & Worried SMF.

There are a couple of scenarios here. Not producing enough HCG yet (@21dpo?) /Chemical Pg / random hormone Vs test issue

So. I have to drop a FMU pot into the Drs this morning for testing-while-I-wait and will have the other pot/blood results back tomorrow.

Dr said 'A line is a line' but he wasn't prepared to absolutely confirm pg with such bizarre results. I don't blame him. However this is a horrid limbo to be in. If it is a weird chemical pg I wish it would just be over. Desperate for a cigarette and a large vodka martini.

SoMuchFruit · 17/12/2013 08:00

PS - Sorry for the long post.

laravh · 17/12/2013 08:10

Thanks SMF!
Sorry about your nightmarish predicament. Must be awful not knowing! Crossing my fingers very tightly for you. Hope you get the amazing news you're after. Sending hugs! X

Yikes, was half a sleep when i wrote this

"Thanks laravh!You know Holyben, I think I always did them at night. Will try that next time, uf this next time if this 2ww is a bfn. X"

Meant to say, will try the FMU, if this next 2ww is a bfn.

SMF - fx for the blood test tomorrow. The waiting limbo must be horrible.

sazzlehopes · 17/12/2013 08:48

Boosk - there are quite a few lunatics ladies poas on christmas day. Me being one of them! However is no af by the eve of xmas eve then i'll probably poas then too - as she is always on time... It is too exciting!

SMF - sorry the doctors wasn't more helpful, but also glad they didn't wave you out the door or say you weren't pregnant. Fx for you that the blood tests and tomorrow fmu shows up something more helpful.

Spinning! Sorry another bfn - i'm hoping you get a bfp very soon!

I am cd21 and about 7dpo i think. Not a symptom in sight, but to be honest the last year i've had pretty much every symptom and no symptoms and nothing has given me a bfp so i'm learning (slowly) not to even look now!

lucyfluff · 17/12/2013 09:13

Spinning...sorry about the bfn...hope it comes this week and your just testing early Smile

SMF - how frustrating at the doctors Sad at least the results will come back reasonably quickly. Will keep everything crossed for you.

Good luck to everyone else still waiting for a xmas bfp Grin Grin

Kaliani · 17/12/2013 09:42

Part of me wants to wait and test Christmas Day if the witch I hasn't turned up. On the other hand, if it's a bfn that's totally going to take the shine off the day. So I think I will test Thursday this week and then Monday possibly

In other news, I woke up this morning wanting to eat the kitchen table covered in chocolate but was strangely put off by the smell of marmite. Curiouser and curiouser

spinningirl10 · 17/12/2013 09:57

Sazzle....haha lunatics, that made me laugh!! Grin

Somuch....the wait continues!! So frustrating but bloods and fmu should give you a definite result!!

Thanks ladies but there is not even a hint of a line!! Don't think I'll test tomorrow, we'll see!! Grin

sazzlehopes · 17/12/2013 10:20

Kallani - i know what you mean about putting a downer on things however - the idea of actually getting a bfp far outweighs for me the worry of it being neg. AND the up side is i can down that xmas champers without a care in the world if it's not a bfp! Probably the only day in the whole year where i'll be fully distracted not to worry!

babyspice2501 · 17/12/2013 10:26

Morning girls! Ive been keeping off mn for abit because it stops me counting down the days so much for poas! Lol buuut ive been getting really weird stabbing sharp pains thats coming diagnolally left of my belly button sort of inbetwwen my belly and ovaries. I have no idea what it is, never had it before so im praying its a symptom!!

babyspice2501 · 17/12/2013 10:31

Gingerpanther27 · 17/12/2013 10:45

Gingerpanther27 · 17/12/2013 11:06

Grrr hate having no patience at all when it comes to ttc malarkey. Absolutely no poas for me until Friday at least! Well thats what I'm telling myself anyway. I'm probably not upduffed anyway. Feeling very sorry for myself right now. Sorry. Mama enjoy your festive Friday shag fest Wink

sazzlehopes · 17/12/2013 11:23

Boosk and Kaliani going to update stats.... do you want me to add you? Can't find you guys!

sazzlehopes · 17/12/2013 11:24

MAMA!!!!!!
Yay - tis the season to be jolly....passing you another mulled wine! x

JennyOfOldstones · 17/12/2013 12:11

Hello ladies!! Glad I am not the only one thinking about POAS on Christmas morning although I think DP would be revolted if I wrapped my pee stick up for him!! AF due Weds or Fri I think but temps were all over the place this month so not totally sure when I ov'd. Going to try and wait to POAS till Saturday when I will have finished work and will be all relaxed. Might crack before then though. I feel like if I get a BFN or AF arrives it isn't so bad cos at least I can crack open the festive drinks!! Good luck everyone!!!

mama31 · 17/12/2013 12:24

Guzzles mulled wine...glug glug glug! cheers saz!!!!! :) how are you doing my friend?? I'm relieved to be out of the 2ww and af exiting also!!! Now I can really enjoy Christmas! Phew!!!!

sazzlehopes · 17/12/2013 12:29

Mama! Cheers!
I'm good thanks - in the midst of the damn 2ww wait but ok. Will test xmas eve if no show from the witch. I am due af xmas day, but i know the suspense will be killing me by then, and that way i can just wake up and have a wonderful time with ds who is almost 3 and will be his first xmas of knowing more what is going on, rather tahn be on knicker watch! Plus it means I can have bucks fizz for breakfast! Xmas Grin Wine
