January BFP bus (thread 2)

[Sparkly123]

Hi all ... We had a thread for Jan BFPs but it seems full?! Thought I would start the second thread.. No idea if this will work as haven't done it before so here's hoping I see you all here!!

Morning

Sparkly, have you poas this morning?

Poco, congratulations, wow great news after you were going to give up. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy.

Boris, sorry af arrived and you're feeling crap. Hoping you get your sticky bfp soon

Cariad, hope af stays away.

Boosk, I'm excited for you and keeping everything crossed

Oh my goodness poco massive congratulations!

Sparkly I am eagerly awaiting your update this morning. Sending all sorts of goodness your way and will be following your lead with a Feb BFP!

Mine is exactly the same this morning it's so faint that I'm convincing myself it's not right. This is horrible!

Becca, sometimes the line takes a while to get darker as our levels rise. Are you using the same brand? Maybe try a different one.

Morning all

congratulations poco it sounds as if you might have been trying for a while! Wonderful news.

Fx boosk AF stays away.

becca I think the preg hormone doubles every 48 hours so could be why the lines not got darker?

hi spinning how are you?

I've woken up feeling crampy so fairly sure AF will make an appearance by tomorrow

Ah boris just seen AF arrived - I'm sorry to read that.

becca fingers massively crossed for u ((hugs)) I am sure a line is a line, so try not to fret.

Hi Genni, I'm ok thanks. About 7dpo, just sat at doctors waiting for blood test. I hate needles! Sorry it sounds as though af is on its way, fx it stays away.

Thanks everyone. Just feeling a bit disheartened this morning. My bf has definitely got her bfp today though so I'm absolutely delighted for her.

Will try a superdrug one next i think.

Morning all, this bus is speeding along now!

So it was finally a positive OPK yesterday, Cd24 ffs!!!! Pic attached - been super busy so haven't managed to check in for a while and have missed so much!! Congrats to you lucky ladies with the elusive second line hoping they are stickies!!

boosk, I have a good feeling for you, fx you get your BFP this weekend
sparkly, hope to hear you lines got darker this morning

Eeeek this certainly passes the time in my loooong cycles cheering on you lot!

Aaargh, in my excitement i posted on the wrong thread! Anyway, got fed up with frer so did a superdrug and got the bfp! Pic attached so you can tell me if I'm imagining it!

Sorry for those who af got :-(

Fingers crossed for sparkly and congrats poco*!

Bad news for me though :-( Dr rang with dh's result at 6pm last night. We are now not suitable for iui as sperm shite. Only good for ivf with icsi now which we can no longer start next cycle. I was prepared for it all and told boss and everything. Now its all up in the air and can't believe I've ever got hopeful about getting a natural bfp these past 2 years. Its just one piece of crap after another. I said to dh last night, is there any point any more?! I need to have a good long think about the future and book a relaxing holiday.

Becca that's a fantastic line! Congratulations

Victoria, I'm really sorry to hear your news, you must be gutted. What's the next step? I know you'd been trying to get dh to have a healthier lifestyle to improve sperm quality. The holiday sounds like a good idea. Sending big hugs to you

Oh Victoria, that's awful news, I'm so sorry

Still no AF. Two days late now. Im more pissed off that my cycles are getting longer. I liked my short cycles!! come baccccck!

Took my last Superdrug test this morning - BFN.

My sister didn't get a BFP until her AF was a week late. So who knows.

I don't feel anything. Tired but that's all. Havent checked CM.

Getting pretty fed up of people (family) telling me to 'don't stress, it'll happen when it's meant to happen' Yes, I KNOW that. Please stop telling me that. Especially when you have never actively tried and have three children yourself.

Hurry up AF you freaking bitch!! lol x

becca wow a definite bfp!!! Congrats
victoria so sorry to hear your news, its shit how long you have been waiting too. I hope you do manage to book that hol

sparkly we're all waiting for your update

Victoria, so sorry about your news

Big hugs and fx for everyone else waiting xx

Ladies just popped back. victoria I am so sorry, I hope you can book a holiday, get some time. Big hug.

Can I ask for advice? I'm 36 been off the pill since May ish, actively trying (obsessively trying rather than just shagging...) for 6 months. No even shadow of a BFP. So do I go to the doctors? Bearing in mind I'm not even registered with a GP this is a big deal for me! And as an absolute novice, what would I say? Can I ask for tests or help? Any advice as to what to push for? I have relatively short but reasonably regular cycles, since coming off the pill I have really short and quite light periods. I also have blink and you miss it lh surges according to opks. Dh has children from an earlier dalliance so I assume any issue is me not him. Or do i wait longer? We both Work crazy long hours so we maybe do just need to make more time and have more sex!! I don't temp so no charts... Any advice?!

Congrats to Poco and Becca!

Sorry to read your news Victoria Its bloody shit

Wow!! That took me so long to catch up!!

Becca Wahooooo!!
Poco Yay!! Women's intuition at it's best!
Sparkly... you're keeping us all in suspense!!

Victoria...a holiday is definitely the best place to start. So sorry to hear

Glittery Breathe I just read your whole post without a breath as if that's how you wrote it.

2DPO here...yawn
Didn't manage to pin hubby down last night as remembered that we were due for dinner at my parents...that would have been embarrassing. Just hoping we did enough before.

I will not start symptom spotting
Ovia is telling me to POAS in 10 days

Boris, I would say make the appointment and see a gp. It may be too soon but it seems to vary depending on where you are in the country and your age. If nothing else they can make a note on your file and tell you when and what they will do when the time is right.

hi Boris, I also came off the pill in may and have relatively short but regular cycles so very similar to you. usually, couples are advised to see a doctor if they haven't conceived after a year because apparently about 90 percent of fertile couples with no issues get pregnant within a year but obviously everyone is different!!
The only thing I would advise to do is start temping so in the next 6 months you can see when you roughly ovulate and dtd at the right times and also use opks at a time when you are most likely to to get a positive. that way, if you haven't got pregnant in a year you can go to the doctors armed with confirmation that you are actually ovulating and show him/her that you are doing all the right things!! obviously if you need more advise on temping and where to start, all us lovely ladies will give you all the info you need xxx hope that helps Boris and good luck with whatever you decide to do xxxx

Right ladies. That was some nights sleep! my result is: inconclusive!! Hardly any zzz, slight temp rise again (at least it's not a dip) no more brown spotting at present... Used my last internet cheapie and long amazon stick cheapie and the results are: I can't see anything!!! gonna check back on everyone else now!

Congratulations Becca that is definitely a positive!

victoria so sorry to hear that. It sounds like maybe you need to relax and pamper yourself a bit while you decide what to do next. Sending you big hugs.

sparkly I don't know how you are still sane at the minute, I would be going crazy with needing to know! Fx for you.
