I POAS-ed this morning and got BFN, CD29 (last two cycles were 31 days long). So not off the bus just yet but with my finger on the button.

BecauseIsaidS0 · 15/12/2013 08:18

...or the bell. Whatever it is that you press to stop the bus and get off.

Morning everyone,
I'm new here so this is my first ever post.

We are ttc #1 and in our first month of trying. Pressure is on as my partner is having surgery on Christmas Eve which could affect his fertility so we decided to try before surgery. It's been a balancing act between dtd on the right days and him having to sperm bank which requires a few days abstinence.

I'm now 2dpo with AF due on 25th.

Congratulations to everyone with BFPs so far and fx for January to those who weren't so lucky.

spinningirl10 · 15/12/2013 09:04

Sky....sorry af got you, good luck next cycle.

Because....hoping af doesn't arrive for you!

Boosk....welcome to you, a bfp would be so lovely on Christmas Day Grin

Morning all,
Spinning thanks for info, going to sainsburys this moronic food shopping and will go to the pharmacy there to get a tablet. I had a pessary here at home from last night so I did that. (Read if you're possibly pg you should not take a thrush tablet).
Choccy and Barmy I'm so sorry, so crap :( Flowers I'm very naive and didn't know about Chem pregnancies, there is so much to learn ...I did a level biology as well!
Congrats to the other BFPs I hope for stronger lines for you all.
I'm due on next Saturday at the earliest and Christmas Day latest so pray for a bfp Boxing Day?? Which would be amazing as it's 5 years exactly that dh and I became a couple ...

Kittyrose1 · 15/12/2013 09:47

Morning not moronic lol!! My typing on an iPhone is awful with predictive text I must apologise

LH1981 · 15/12/2013 09:59

Well Poas this morning and the line is exactly the same. Visible but very faint. Question...do you think if it's this faint on the cb, it will show up on a cb digi??
Dying to get a definite answer now!

mama will keep everything crossed for you!!

Sleepingstarsmommy · 15/12/2013 10:08

Morning all.

Congrats to all the BFPs !! On my phone so it's hard to keep up.

Choccy and Barmy Im so very sorry.

Kitty you definitely shouldn't take the thrush tablet when pregnant.

So I think I am into my 2ww let the symtom spotting begin although I can't be sure as I never got a smiley on my opks. Did have some ewcm and some twinges yesterday but just in case will continue with daily dtd until tomorrow.

Have been reading the baby names threads this morning. Got to try and be positive although Im probably just going to be disappointed

spinningirl10 · 15/12/2013 10:22

LH I got a 'pregnant' on cb digi when I was having faint lines on tests! Grin

spinningirl10 · 15/12/2013 10:35

Lucy, how are you? Have you tested again? Grin

lucyfluff · 15/12/2013 10:36

Crack open the digi LH Grin Grin Grin imsuchabadinfluence!!!!!!

lucyfluff · 15/12/2013 10:38

No spinnng I havnt done any more but I did break and tell DH last night Grin hes obviously made up but very cautious like me....bless him! Still going to wait a week for the digi.

spinningirl10 · 15/12/2013 10:39

Lucy, you're being so good!!! Grin

Have you got any symptoms?

Writerwannabe83 · 15/12/2013 10:44

Why are you waiting so long for the Digi Lucy???? Grin

I got my positive on the Digi the same day I was getting faint barely there lines on other tests Grin I did it to offer sure fire proof to my husband as he wasn't convinced by faint lines Grin Despite my lines on IC and FRER being faint my CB still said 2-3 weeks pregnant.

How can you hold yourself and us in this suspense??? Grin

lucyfluff · 15/12/2013 10:49

Haha Im sorry!!!

I just feel like its early days and after the cpg in Oct that happened at (4+4) I dont want to risk the disappointment abd heartbreak of that again PLUS I want the digi to deffo work !!!

I know I should be positive about this new pregnancy and I am trying to be Smile slight symptoms spinning, lower backache/slight cramps/lightheaded at times and wanting to stuff my face with mince pies (although thats pretty normal for me Wink ) lol

Writerwannabe83 · 15/12/2013 10:52

I'm not a fan of rational arguments, lol Grin

But seriously, we all understand your caution and I'm sure we all have our fingers crossed that everything will go right for you this time round Thanks

spinningirl10 · 15/12/2013 10:53

Haha Lucy, a mince pie craving sounds good to me!

I can understand how you feel. I would deffo be cautious if I was to get a bfp. Would be nice if we could fast forward the first 12 weeks when the worry lessons a little!

Writerwannabe83 · 15/12/2013 10:55

It doesn't spinning!! I'm 25 weeks and worry CONSTANTLY!!
Don't go thinking it ever stops, lol Grin

lucyfluff · 15/12/2013 10:57

Lol writer Grin me neither really and my head is screaming poas!!!! I wont just yet though.

Its funny really, as Ive got older pregnancy seems so much scarier than it did when I had my first DS...maybe its because I was so young and clueless?! Its magical and worrying all at the same time!!!

Missvaughan85 · 15/12/2013 11:24

Lucy you've hit the nail in the head with that one!! I was 22 when oregnant with ds did one test, bled at 6+ weeks worried but early scan and all was fine, I don't think I worried at all after that early scan. I'm now 5+2 and all I'm doing is worrying!!! I'm not cramping as much now and backache has subsided a bit but I've got pains in my arms. Hubby is telling me it's my job, I'm a hairdresser whose fully booked 11 hrs a day and busy because it's Christmas, so he says it's that. But in worrying its ectopic. But I know that usually it's cramping, bleeding and shoulder tip pain. So I'm driving myself crazy thinking is it shoulder tip pain or not!!!

Lucy I had faint lines from day af was due Thursday until the sat and nothing on 2 digi's and then sat I had darker lines an 1-2 on a digi. Just had my 2-3. And I still feel the need to poas!!! X x x

mama31 · 15/12/2013 11:25

Hey ladies, unfortunately af appears to be back full red flow.....totally bizarre as it's now cd28 and as you know af would have been and gone for me by now!! cervix is still so high I can hardly reach is but the bleeding is def full flow now! never had a high cervix with af! Stupid body's always playing tricks....oh well to be honest I was hoping and wishing for a bfp but kind of knew it wasn't gona happen. thanks for all the support though! X

Writerwannabe83 · 15/12/2013 11:43

Oh no mama, I'm gutted for you. I'm really surprised too, it sounded so promising. I hope you are feeling ok - bodies playing tricks is very cruel Sad

mama31 · 15/12/2013 11:53

Thanks writer I am actually ok wasn't really expecting anything but this very high cervix is a new thing for me during af! You really can't second guess anything when ttc!!!

I'm totally fine though....relieved actually to know as not knowing is always worse! Even though the preferred option would obv have been pregnancy!x

Writerwannabe83 · 15/12/2013 11:57

mama - excuse my ignorance for coming across as rude, but it's just so hard to remember everyone's stories Blush but are you trying for your first baby?
