Bumsnet - where we get it on and get our BFP!!

[Rainy34]

This is the bus where we will get our BFP, hop on with your summer skirts and grab the bfp 's!!

I'm not sure Dizzy , from the angle I think it looks quite a bit paler than the control line. Have you done any yesterday/earlier in cycle to see progression? How dark do they usually go? There's a pic of 9 days worth of mine on page 2 and you can see the bottom one is clearly much darker than any of the others. I had hoped the ones in the middle were almost positive but took quite a few more days. The EWCM is a good sign that you should be DTD in any case, though!

Dizzy merry, I am a lurker and just thinking about putting my hand out to stop the bus and get on but I think I can see a second line.

Excuse my daftness but is that a ic test? If so I say congratulations xxx

Mamma jump onboard we are a lovely lot! It's an IC opk.

Thanks bean and pug. This is the first IC for this cycle as the CB flashing smiley was confusing me so thought I'd compare it against the IC. I really can't dtd tonigh as we've already done the past three nights and I'm shattered beyond belief!

Meatball Hop on & grab a seat If you're going to stick around though, we need to get you up to speed on the wide variety of sticks that can be pee'd upon. The one Dizzy has just posted is an opk (ovulation prediction kit) - a second line can show for some days but it is only positive (i.e. indicating that you are getting your hormone surge that will trigger ovulation) when the test line is at least as dark as the control line. It is indeed an IC though, just not a pregnancy one!

Now you're on board, we need to know everything about you please

Ah so you're getting flashy smiley on CB? I'd say the pic you posted was the IC equivalent to the flashy smiley then - almost there but not quite. Every other day seems to work well for lots of people so skipping today and trying again tomorrow shouldn't be a problem. Now get to bed young lady if you are tired (to sleep, obviously)!

Mamma meatball I love your name. Wish I had gone for something foody

Ah I see... Jumped the gun a bit there. There is a lot of stuff to learn ??

About me... I'm 32 and mum to a 20 month old ds. We've been trying since November 14. Not that long just getting a little frustrated.

Thanks for the welcome guys xx

Second lesson of the night: tablet smileys do not post to mums net.

Meatball I can see your smiley!
Wahey!

Aw! How long did it take you to conceive your ds?

Are you thinking of using ovulation tests?

Pug I'm all tucked up in bed. DH brought me up a cuppa and some chocolate. I'll need all the energy to dtd tomorrow.

I love your name flange! Good news about the smiley too.

It took 8 months last time, and yes I'm going to try using an ovulation test, and tracking this month. My cycle seems to be all over and following no pattern. Would you recommend an expensive test for a newbie like me or is an Internet cheapie just as good? I'm going to read up on temperature tracking too and will start forcing git c on the husband too.

Quite a to do list now but at least it feels like action xx

Vit not git! ??

Mummy, those pots are terrific and would go like hot cakes on ebay. Summat to think about?

Pug! How's the temp today? What date is your birthday please?

Dizzy, I think you're a little way off there, my love. A positive tomorrow perhaps?

Lucie, try to keep looking up. I've heard of this too-early dominant folliclebusiness

Someone asked if I've told anyone my news. I've told mum, dad, sister, two bezzie mates, two baby group mates, two mates from my old mn ivf thread and Asif in the corner shop.

Lucie, sweetheart, I will reply to you later.

Welcome Mamameatball! Hurrah for newbies!

Dizzy, don't become exhausted. Pug's right: eod from now on. You could ovulate as late as Saturday by that pale line yesterday (and it is a bit pale so don't panic).

Welcome mama! I love meatballs. nibbles on mamas leg

Still super excited for you purdie!

Yesterday and today I am constantly dizzy (not you dizzy, dizzy in the ol'noggin). Last time I felt like this I got a chest infection the following week.
Or is dizziness a pre-bfp preggo symptom? clutching ALL the straws

pug oooo your big birthday soon! I quite enjoyed turning 30. Turning 31 in a couple of months which feels a lot worse than the 30th!

mummy those pots are ace!

Temp dip below cover line. I might be out again this month ladies. Cd22, 7dpo.

Oh, Pixa surely not at 7dpo?

It looks that way. I have short cycles Purdie. Three quarters of my cycles are 26 days or less. Doctor wasn't too concerned about it. FF has suggested a 25 day cycle this month.

Better luck for Cycle 11, hopefully...

mamma welcome
dizzym keep peeing on the sticks you are nearly there
purdie love the list of people you've told! Made me laugh.

Queenbee Dizziness was one of my first pre-bfp symptoms. Followed by headaches and sore boobs. FX!

Morning ladies, I'm back in blighty!

Had a dream last night that I got my bfp... Although the person who was the dad wasn't the same person I was having IVF consultations with and neither of them was my dh! Ooops!

We have a huge information pack from the private clinic which I'll be reading through this morning between doing washing!

Haven't read back yet, will do so after a shower. Xx

Oh and Purdie, thank you for your post. I really appreciate it! Xx

Advice from my mum Please stop me from killing someone today ladies!

Italics fail!
