Mimi great idea to book the day off. I was a mess at work on my last EDD. to everyone today. It's a day of very mixed feelings isn't it? I love my mum and mil but having a really hard time not yet being a mum myself [yet].
Thinking of all you BFP ladies from this month - you're a real inspiration that we'll all get there in the end

Morning!

Did and ic yesterday fmu and spent about half an hour trying to convince myself I could see a shadow. Is today's the makings of a line? Should I use a frer or digi yet (I'm 10dpo) or hold off? Should it be darker at 10dpo?

chasingtherainbow · 16/03/2015 07:19

Hey girlsailor. I definitely see something on the bottom but it looks a bit odd on my screen. Don't use a digi yet it's way too early. You can keep testing and if your lines get darker I'd digi about 12/13dpo at earliest. Good luck! ! Xxx

chasingtherainbow · 16/03/2015 07:20

Actually I think I see something on both! Crossing everything for you!

GirlSailor · 16/03/2015 07:22

Thanks chasing! Where else would I be able to get anyone to look at something I've peed on so early in the morning!

GirlSailor · 16/03/2015 08:00

Argh! Well DP said he wasnt sure if it was a line so explained that it was too early for a digi but he had read the box and it says ok for 4 days before af due so I did one to prove him wrong and it was pos. Now I look stupid, but pregnant and stupid.

I didn't test until day 28 last time and got a faint line. I'm hoping that a bfp at cd25 is a good sign. I know there's a long way to go yet, and so many things could go wrong. There is no such thing as taking it one day at a time, more like one pee at a time and then check when I wipe

chasingtherainbow · 16/03/2015 08:08

Hold up. THE DIGI SAYS POSITIVE! ?!

Congratulations! !!!

CarrotPuff · 16/03/2015 08:21

Congrats GirlSailor!

MrsConfusion · 16/03/2015 08:27

Wow, congratations girlsailor, what wonderful news! Cheered up a cold and rainy Monday

chasingtherainbow · 16/03/2015 08:35

Either your dates are out or you've got twins in there. .your hcg is high for 10dpo for a digi to pick up. So exciting! Come on over to the pregnancy thread when you are ready.

GirlSailor · 16/03/2015 09:04

Thanks so much everyone! I'm going to try to just enjoy it and hope for the best - your congrats have really cheered me up and stopped me focussing on the fact that it could go wrong again.

chasing I got a + on my opk on 5th March which was cd14 so assuming I ov'd the day after. They were all negative before then. Funnily enough twins do run in my family...

chasingtherainbow · 16/03/2015 09:29

I'm totally betting on twins!

GirlSailor · 16/03/2015 09:39

I'm just trying to imagine DP's face if you're right chasing. I'm guessing a more extreme version of

It's all a bit too good to be true at the moment. I really didn't have much hope for this month as it's my wtf cycle.

Hope I can hold out and not test for reassurance constantly. Should it get a lot darker each day? I'm already blatantly insane!

chasingtherainbow · 16/03/2015 09:51

You've had your digi so no point using more. IC are shite imo.. If you can afford to, buy some pink dye supermarket own or frers and keep testing till af day. You should see your lines getting darker. But you don't need to do this. . Only if It'll help you. I know most of us here did. I'm 5 wks today and used 5 ICs yday, all from the same wee as an experiment. Sure enough they all had dark but varying levels of lines.. from the same batch! If I'd done them separately I'd have been worrying slightly honestly. So bare in mind things like level of dye in each year. . Different batches can all affect this. Xx

DH is desperate for twins. The bugger.

GirlSailor · 16/03/2015 10:26

Wise wise chasing, you have all the good advice.

A few weeks ago Superdrug had their own brand tests on buy one get one free so I invested in a few. I was going to test for a BFN when bleeding stopped but I ended up getting some it's for that in the end so still got the Superdrug ones to use for a sensible amount of POAS until af is due.

FF has af due on Wednesday as that would be my normal 26ish day cycle. But looking at when I likely ov'd I was expecting at least a 28day-er with some extra wtf thrown in.

I'm of course feeling like throwing up but know it's really because I've been stressing out since 6am rather than a real symptom.

Right, enough about me, I'm going to try to get a grip. How is everyone else this rainy morning?

chasingtherainbow · 16/03/2015 10:41

Sailor did you definitely get your bfn post mc? X

GirlSailor · 16/03/2015 10:59

Yes, I got quite a few. Turns out I'm a sucker for multiple testing whatever result I'm hoping for.

I'm assuming it would be too early to see anything if this is a good new bfp, but there would be something recognisable if the bfns had been a bit of a fluke and this was just a hangover from mc. With this in mind is it worth talking to the emu or will they just think I'm stupid?

GirlSailor · 16/03/2015 10:59

Err, EPU, I'm guessing most people would think I was stupid if I asked an emu!

chasingtherainbow · 16/03/2015 12:29

Ok then I think if you had enough convincing bfn then this is definitely a new little bean. . . Now if this was me and I knew I wouldn't be entitled to a early scan.. I'd wait till 6-7 weeks and call the epu.. tell them you have just gotten a 3+ on a digi and have absolutely no idea how far along you are etc. Say you haven't had a period since mc and they'll get you straight in for 2 reasons: the no period bit.. and because if you don't know then they are quick to check because the 12 wk scan has to be done before 14. X

I'm CD10 so a little early for OV yet but my god I am having the sharpest pains in my left hand ovary! The roller coaster of symptoms begins again....

brickiemum2 · 16/03/2015 14:34

When the best time to start opk? My head is all over the place and I can't quite decide what to do. 2 days before af arrived I actually got a faint bfp along with mega preg symptoms but obviously it didn't implant or something as af is firmly here. That made my first cycle after mc 27 days. I'm cd 5 just now.
If I decide to try again this month what day should I start doing opk?

Gr33dyeggs · 16/03/2015 16:17

Congrats girlsailor

GirlSailor · 16/03/2015 17:05

Thanks Gr33dy

brikie I think it might depend on the type you use but I could be wrong. The ones I used came with a thing that said when to start depending on your usual cycle. I went with the earliest date, so the one that it would be if it was going to be the shortest cycle I ever get. I've only ever done them this month so I'm sure everyone else will have better answers.

GirlSailor · 16/03/2015 17:34

And chasing that is excellent advice. My epu is a self referral walk-in and were very understanding when I was there with the mc. Last time I was in I got a bfn there and it's good to know that they will have all of my records from last time.
