I'm so sorry AF arrived sunshinegirl2015. As others have said relax over the festive period and although it's difficult put ttc to the back of your mind. 2016 is the year Flowers

Good luck with the progesterone pessaries mrsrose I've heard good things about them and fx they will do their job.

Fuzzy fx AF stays away and you get your bfp.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you oriana.

sunshinegirl12 · 22/12/2015 12:28

Oh Oriana, how exciting. Fx for you.

I'm 9dpo and still getting the cramps and random waves of sickness, no more spotting, but I'm not getting my hopes up as I don't feel pregnant, more like AF is on its way. I know I will still be gutted when it arrives though.

mrsrose33 · 22/12/2015 12:47

Sunshine12 I forgot we are cycle buddies this month :) Along with the cramps, I've been having waves of queasiness and my head feels quite foggy and a bit woozy but I'm assuming this is my brain inventing symptoms because I want a bfp so badly this month!

Sunshinegirl2015 · 22/12/2015 16:22

Good luck Oriana

Mrs rose 11 days is good!

For me it's definitely AF. Wonder why my LP went back down to 9days this cycle.

Going to enjoy so blue cheese and mulled wine tonight now that I know I can.

June 7th :)

sunshinegirl12 · 22/12/2015 19:17

Mrsrose, fx for you, how long have you been trying for? I've had a tiny bit more spotting just when I wiped, I don't even know why I put myself through this symptom spotting, its the same every month.

I'm going to take the agnus castus again next month but this time just agnus castus rather than in the Fertilaid, but I've read conflicting things over if it should only be taken up til ovulation or for the whole cycle.

Mascara, good news about your scan, how are you feeling now? x

mrsrose33 · 22/12/2015 19:21

Ok, I'm freaking out. I just did a cheapy pregnancy test and I'm sure I can see a really really faint second line. Husband is convinced that the line is already on the test sticks so I got an unused one out to compare and can see a very thin line but the one of the one I used is pinker and thinker. But I can't tell if my eyes are playing tricks on me...is it too early for a first response? I don't want to waste one of those.

mrsrose33 · 22/12/2015 19:22

Sunshine I've been trying since August x

sunshinegirl12 · 22/12/2015 19:23

Exciting!! How many dpo are you? Maybe wait for your 1st wee in the morning for a more accurate result? x

mrsrose33 · 22/12/2015 19:32

I'm only 9dpo so I'm probably just going crazy...

mrsmugoo · 22/12/2015 20:04

Post a picture!

OrianaBanana · 22/12/2015 20:15

Ooh mrsrose! Fingers crossed for you!

I got a BFN clearblue this afternoon. So it's alcohol and blue cheese for me too please! Blush

Although I may do a quick first-wee one tomorrow just to be sure I can drink! Grin

mrsrose33 · 22/12/2015 20:34

Am I going mad?? It's about an hour old now though so not sure if that makes it invalid? Photos with flash and without. It's not as visible in the photos.

Mrsrose, I think I can see the line!! Hopefully it'll be darker if you do it again in the morning!! Fx xx

mrsrose33 · 22/12/2015 20:39

Just had a horrible thought that it might just be an evaporation line...

sunshinegirl12 · 22/12/2015 20:44

I wanted to join in with you ladies testing, was a definite bfn for me, so going to cosy up with a teeny glass of wine and Luther x

OrianaBanana · 22/12/2015 20:49

mrsrose fwiw that's exactly how I found out with DS - one v v faint line on one of those, which DH swore was not a line. I showed him! Wink

mrsrose33 · 22/12/2015 20:53

Oh I'm sorry Sunshine :( It might be too early still!

Thanks Oriana, I really hope I'm not being an idiot and it isn't just evaporation lines. I'll try again in the morning...

mrsmugoo · 22/12/2015 21:39

I can see it, especially on that one with no flash. Ooooh fingers crossed for you!

Sunshinegirl2015 · 22/12/2015 22:08

Fx for you mrsrose!

And sunshine I agree could still be too early but wine and Luther sounds good! Good luck.

SharyBobbins · 22/12/2015 22:32

Eeek fingers crossed!! Test in the morning if you can, or can you get one of those first response tests?
Mascara great news on the scan, how far along will you be? I've got a reassurance scan booked on 16th Jan. I'm really confused about how many weeks I would be by that date though. I'm going from my date of conception but the clinic is going off the first day of my last period....Hmm

FuzzyOwl · 22/12/2015 23:40

I think there is a line mrsrose and a FRER will be more sensitive than the one you have used. Definitely test again tomorrow with FMU. I have everything crossed for you!

MrsMugoo, that was my original due date last year, then it was put back after scans and then she arrived early. Hope everything goes well for you.
