BFPs for everyone!

###STATS###

night, I think lots are.... Definitely not stuff we have lurking in the cupboards!

Hi everyone - loving this thread. I'm 5 DPO (if that) and already convincing myself I feel a bit dizzy and nauseous. I hate how quickly I get obsessed with TTC!!!

pixa I've been to the Northumberland coast- not very exotic but the sun came out for us and its a beautiful place.

Inspired by all you fitness/healthy eating comments i have just been to the gym and now gonna snack on some hummous and carrotsticks (it will be a miracle if this healthy lifestyle lasts to this evening but I need to feel I'm doing something productive to get bfp other than just dtd! )

So not stuff I could pick up in Aldi Wood

It must be difficult to start the process of tests Sammy, as you say you didn't start off thinking you would need them. I have faith that they will bring you your much wanted BFP though :)

Ha! night, you never know!! How are your local stocks of pomegranate seeds, spirulina and xylitol....?! xx

Trust me Sammy it feels like you are doing something when you're having tests, becoming closer to an answer and the solution. (its me Vic by the way, I'm in disguise)

night I was thinking more of a pedicure or facial down me local salon, but thanks anyway! I won't have access to a car as dh will have it as he's working.

Still no af..... On and off cramps.... Pretty sure it will be tomorrow morning though. Darn it. Always seems to be a Monday and I miss yoga because my cramps are too bad :-( must go to yoga this week though as he's changed payment to blocks rather than drop in and I've already paid! Don't really understand why if I had my pos opk would I still have no af on cd28?

You what wood? I recognise pomegranate seeds but the others don't even sound like food!

There is an obvious reason for no AF Vic... Really hope you find something lovely to do on your birthday! Are any of your friends free on the day?

Are you joining the thread queasy? We need your vital statistics if you are

No no one is free night they are working. Well my mate with kids doesn't work but she has to home school middle child and prob has plenty of school and nursery runs for the other two! Not that I've asked her if she can fit me in for a liquid lunch, in case I was getting dildo cam! You feeling any better now?

Marys it's definitely for the best! I can't do that with DS's but luckily I got 2 of my own!

That's a shame Vic :( I am feeling much better thanks. Have been resting all day so that I am up to going out for dinner later. Will be sticking to bland foods which is a shame as we are going to an amazing Indian :(

Yay for temping Pixa

Babs, congratulations on the new house. Hope you're settling in. Do you have any work to do?

Sammy, welcome back, pleased you had a lovely time.

Oyster, hope you enjoyed your run. My cousins Dh is doing the Brighton Marathon today. Well he's prob finished now and sat in a bar with a beer

Victoria, hope you got to the garden centre. No af yet! Ooh I have everything crossed for you. Pedicure would be lovely now that the weathers improving. I love the shellac varnish, it lasts for ages and no chipping!

Oh Night, I hope af stays away for you!

Heir, 9 weeks! That's gone fast, how exciting. Have you got your scan date?

Melon, yay for the run, well done

Ibeka, have fun with your friend. It's a lovely day here as well but the winds cold!

Mummy, snow!!!!

Alpha, hope you enjoyed your run. Wow everyone here is doing well on the exercise front

Ahh Sparkly, I can understand this. How are you feeling today? Are you still spotting? Will you get an early scan? Ooh sorry for all the questions

Glittery, have you decided where to go yet?

Hi Queasy, welcome. How long have you been ttc and are you trying for your first?

Oh my gosh SPARKLY!!! And tessie! I'm a bit late to the game, been rubbish at keeping up with the bus but just popping in - and wow, congratulations!

So pleased for you

Hope everyone else is doing well. Sounds like there has been some drama on the April bus...? Oh dear. Off to have a nose. Hope it's nothing that has upset anyone.

It feels like forever Spinning! The scan isn't for another 4 weeks so even more waiting!

Just popped in for a quick catch up. 6dpo here. Bored waiting. Went for a bike ride down the river then church today. Had a big family lunch now we are crashed out reading the paper and t'internet.

Loving all the excercise notes. oyster loved the small child!

Lots still to catch up on.... You ladies were chatty this morning!

Congrats Sparkly !! I'm a little late to the party but so hoping this is a sticky on for you!!

Congrats to everyone else with a BFP as well! Commiserations to my fellow April BFN's.

I'm only CD7/32 and don't typically OV till 20/21 so long time for me to go yet! BFP due May 6 :D

Fingers crossed for everyone else :)

Hi all, sounds like everyone is off doing stuff today.

We have just been to look at a car I really liked. It was on the website as being for sale. I tried ringing twice, but got no answer, so left a voicemail, then we decided to just chance it. Got there & they didn't have it because it was at the mechanics. Grrrr.

Chopsvic, please just POAS & put us out of our misery!

Night, you too. I can't handle the not knowing!

Sparkly mamma, how are you doing today?

Good luck for your scan Heir. I can't believe how far along you are already!

Welcome Queazy, nice to see you.

Has anyone heard how Lucie is getting on?

Thanks Babybump we ve missed you!

Sweets thank you, how are things with you?!

Spinning so sorry for AF lovely. But like I said, still a good chance for Xmas maybe this cycle!!! Hope you are ok

Yokyil looks pretty positive to me! Go!

Night you most certainly ain't out yet mrs!!! Sorry you are still feeling rubbish though

Sammy I thought they were due around now. So this is good! Progression! And positive steps forward for you lovely

Choppers is this longest cycle yet?!? Let's hope for a nice birthday present Tomor of a BFP!

Mary hi lovely how's you? Thanks for asking after me I'll update you all below as few people have asked wood Spinning that's you too-
So basically been up all night with really intense AF cramps that I get just before blood flow starts. Only had brown bleeding. Then today I was still feeling a little hopeful as only brown spotting but unfortunately in the past few hours I've passed a big clot -sorry tmi- and also had some red blood when I wiped. So I'm feeling pretty drained and a disappointed. The only thing to do now is wait until it all comes away like last time and rest. I'm going to phone that oh so not helpful nurse in the am at the clinic and tell her so it's noted. I wonder whether they would investigate the brown spotting/progesterone now after this happening twice?i really want to do anything I can to prevent this from happening again it's so draining and an emotional roller coaster. Does anyone know does it have to happen three times for them to actually look at things or will they just use the "it's common and happens all the time" approach?

Aw spinning sorry about the witch. Have some . A horrible end to a difficult week - I'm sorry.

sparkles sorry to hear about the clot/red blood. I can't imagine how awful you feel. I don't think the black stuff sounds very common so I would try and push for some more answers.

alpha I was in Northumbria week before last!

mummy Kent may be warmer but surely looking around you it can't compete? I love Cumbria. Love most of the North, really. Shame DP is such an entrenched southerner or I'd be on the move up...

Getting depressed about my still-very-faintly positive HPT. If it still is tomorrow I have to go back to the hospital. I really really just want it all to go away and be a normal TTCer again (because we're all so normal!) Had a lovely time with my friend today but she seemed to think I probs do need to go back to EPU

Oh sparkly hugs! Surely twice since January warrants an investigation! I hope it is nothing and it stays stuck but good luck ringing the nurse. I am so so sorry

Oh no sparkly! This wasn't meant to happen. I'm gutted for you my love. Definitely phone the nurse and see what they suggest. Take care sweetheart x

I'm only on cd28. Longest cycle I've had was 33days. But because I ovd early I thought af would be early. The 30+ cycles have occured from oving cd16+. I got pos opk cd12 so now I'm 14dpo. Many times I've not got af until 15dpo. So unless af doesn't show tomorrow I shall think nothing if it.

ibeka test with fmu tomorrow to make extra sure then plod along of it's still +.

It is beautiful but I don't see much of it which is a shame. But I am a real southerner, I moved because dp would t have coped near London. I miss chain restaurants & a variety of clothes shops and that everything I want is in bloody Carlisle!!!

Oh Sparkly - I'm so sorry to hear this , sending huge hugs your way. Xx

Thinking of you sparkly xx

I'm so, so sorry Sparkly
You deserve some answers and you should be checked out anyway so get to the docs.
