Institute of bodies doing strange and unexpected things, but we're still gonna get our Bfps! (the loveliest group of hand-holders you ever did meet)

[haquoi123]

Tww thread #2! Best wonderful group ever, wishing you all the best with your bfps! Thanks for keeping my chin up when I've been at my lowest and celebrating the highs with me - all the love xxx

At least now you know you're in a new cycle molly
I think I might be out too - have been having af cramps last night and today and I'm 10dpo today. No spotting though, so at least that's something.

Where are you fuzzy we've been having mega downpours and thunder storms.

Right have just taken a test and got this - period due tomorrow. I'm shitting myself in case this is an Evap but it came up within 5 minutes and is pink - so do we think this is a Bfp? Don't want to get too excited but think it might be too late for that....!

Yeay, Congratulations Handbags, looks like a BFP to me .

Handbags I'm in East London, and it started pouring here a couple of hours after I posted about the lovely weather! one of our cats was attempting to escape to the neighbours garden and got caught in the beginnings of the downpour, he was not happy and bty his looks blamed me entirely for letting him ho out!

Ah I'm in the north west, we've had tonnes of rain this weekend.

Can I join your fab group? TTC number 3. 4 days to go till Af due, am getting so stressed now. I really want my boobs to hurt but nothing!! I am breastfeeding my 2 year old but have cut down quite a bit to hopefully aid fertility.

Looks positive to me, handbags!!

DH was very sceptical because the line is faint! I'm going to test again this evening to make sure

Looks very positive handbags! How exciting! Having an af from hell - cannot wait to get this done and start again!

Do you think you could bear to wait for FMU tomorrow morning? It is a definite positive. Congratulations! :)

Welcome Meamomma, and good luck :)

I might try to wait! Going to collect a urine sample pot from the midwide this afternoon and then got a docs appointment tomorrow evening. I'm really scared in case it isn't a positive at all

oh handbags, it is a positive, it really is :)

I know how you feel tho.

OK thinking fertile BFP thoughts for the rest of us.

molly I always imagine a bad period must mean everything is getting ship-shape in there ready for a new cycle! Fingers crossed for you ladies x

AF is here early. I still seem pretty irregular, 26 seems to be my longest cycle (used to be regular at 26 before 2nd child), this time its about 22. Feeling a bit sad.

handbags that's definitely the best way of looking at it.

So made up for you and your bfp!!! A lovely reminder that it is in fact possible! and hello meamomma!

I have yet to try OPK's but think I might start. Can anyone give me the lowdown? Is it worth it?

That looks like a BFP to me Handbags! Congratulations!

how is everyone?

Handbags did you POA again darker line ?

Did a clearblue digital test last night and it came up pregnant 2-3 weeks! On my way to doc's now to discuss what happens next
How is everyone else?

mea I've never tried opks but I'm sure someone will be able to help you x

Yaaay! So exciting handbags! I bet it was amazing to see it actually in plain writing on a digital.

It's hot water bottles and sofa all the way for me, worst period I think I've ever had. Looking forward to getting this over with and back to it.

Molly, I've had a horrendous period this month too, reminiscent of the insanely heavy periods I used to have as a teen. I've been taking it easy and putting my feet up as it really hurts.

Mea, I use OPK's it is really useful (and reassuring) to know when I ov, and the signs that come along with it. Downside is you have the hormone surge which detects the possibility of ov and the time window is really small to catch it (I'm still here trying!), think it's probably more sensible to DTD every other day for the first two weeks following your period as you will most likely be in your fertile window then you are more likely to fall pregnant if there are sperm waiting around for the egg.

I've personally DTD on the two peak days my OPK showed I was most fertile a few times and nothing. Missed it most of the times and did have a chemical pregnancy a few months back.

So you may want to do OPK's to see if you are ov'ing and what time in your cycle. But don't spend too much on OPK's (thats my advice).

I had an awful period last month - had to walk around the house, randomly squatting to try and get rid of the pain!
Going to the doctor's was a bit surreal but lovely. I'm going to hang around and see how you ladies get on

handbags, truly really pleased for you. hopefully we'll all be joining you soon.

Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy :)

Thanks ladies, got my fingers crossed for you all x
