Thought I'd start a November thread for those of us left over from the October thread. (I hope this is ok and I'm not bypassing some sort of forum etiquette).

Here are my stats:
Loki
ttc #2
Cycle 2
CD 14
ETD 6th November

I just read your posts and was thinking I'm defo going to test with a FRER today but I've just started experiencing some cramps , exactly how I get them with AF so now I'm feeling scared:( don't want to test and be heart broken. Wanting and mimi, have you got AF symptoms? I'm beginning to think I was seeing things this morning and the light caught the photo and make it look like there was a line Sad

wantingno2 · 08/11/2015 13:41

pregnancy symptoms are exactly like af symptoms so there is a good chance u are pregnant just make sure you use ur first wee of the day x

Congrats to Lucia!

Melvali, that's a BFP! 25miu is the least sensitive. Definitely pick up a FRER I'd say, just to give you the reassurance. Congrats!

Congrats Wanting! My dd2 is just over 2 and only just sleeping through. I waited until she was before trying Grin

Loving all these BFP's. Anyone else 6 or 7 DPO?

Shemozzle · 08/11/2015 13:51

Addictedtogreys, I'm not sure I've ovulated yet either, I had implant period and then withdrawal bleed and I counted that as a period when I know you shouldn't. According to an app I'm using I did have ovulation signs at the right time though and we DTD at the right time so fingers crossed in still in with a chance. I'm counting the only 2 days we DTD (OH was away half the month) as OV date, when it's not official.

Melvi, sorry I didn't see your last post before I congratulated. Fingers crossed Rs implantation cramps not AF.

Thanks for your support girls, not shared any of this with anyone in real life and I feel like I'm going nuts! This was our first month without contraception and when I checked the dates I thought we had just missed fertile window. The local boots is closed and Asda didn't stock much variety, I've just been to tesco and they didn't have FRER but had clear blue which can be used 4 days early apparently. So AF should have been due tomorrow. Should I just go ahead and test? I've obviously had the first wee today but don't think I'll manage waiting till tomorrow morning! I'm just off to my mums so will have to be sneaky if I test there. Don't really want to waste £9 if I'm not going to get a positive!

AddictedtoGreys · 08/11/2015 14:21

If it's due tomorrow and you can test 4 days early yes test Smile

And my app says ovulation was 3 days ago? Which is cd 11 if counting from first day of your period. But other sites say ovulation is at different times Confused what does everyone here think? What day of cycle would be ovulation? X

redstrawberries101 · 08/11/2015 14:21

I feel so scared!

Omg congrats melvali!! Grin

redstrawberries101 · 08/11/2015 14:43

What now? This is the first time I have been expecting. I desperately want to tell my mum but feel I should tell hubby first. Want to tell her because I've just found out and she is beside me.

AddictedtoGreys · 08/11/2015 14:46

It's up to you, tell your mum or wait and tell hubby. I don't think I could contain my excitement to wait for hubby! Smile you just need to ring. Your doctor and register with your midwife and she will explain everything from then on. Congratulations! Thanks

wantingno2 · 08/11/2015 14:47

yeyyy I've got a digital cb in the cupboard but not going to use it till Tuesday I've still got a frer left and a superdrug one left so will do them tomorrow to see a darker line then the digi on Tuesday x

wantingno2 · 08/11/2015 14:48

Yay melvali!!!congratulations dear.sorry could not respond earlier but so so happy for you.did u manage to keep your cool and not tell mom?

Mimilicious013 · 08/11/2015 15:17

Loki and wanting how are you bfp moms?have u shared the good news yet?Shem and Addicted hope the good luck on this bus rubs onto all of us!!!

Loki17 · 08/11/2015 15:30

I've only told dh. I want to tell dd before everyone else but want to wait until I've had a scan to tell her. We are planning an early scan at 10+5 so that we can tell her on Christmas Eve and our parents on Christmas day. Every year we give mil and my mum photo calenders with pictures of dd in them. They love the calenders even though they are a bit cheesey and always ask for them. I'm hoping to be able to put a miniature copy of the scan photo on the 15th of July box with the caption 'Due today!'

Congrats Melvali! Nothing like seeing that positive in digital! Did you tell your mum?

Aw, Loki, that's so sweet to be able to tell big sister on Christmas Eve. And I just teared up at the calendar idea Blush.

wantingno2 · 08/11/2015 15:41

I've told my hubby and my mum but that's it he will probably tell his mum at some point it still feels like it's not true I don't no maybe I need to see it in writing haha x

Mimilicious013 · 08/11/2015 16:37

Wow Loki,nice way to share the good news.i can imagine if i were yu guys,i would keep testing over and over just to enjoy watching that second line show up!!Mel are u in one piece ?kkkk

Loki17 · 08/11/2015 16:45

I can't stop testing. It's silly because I then obsess over how dark the line is. I need to stop!

Hahaha were all just crazy lol.

redstrawberries101 · 08/11/2015 16:51

No haven't told mum. Been really hard though! Now that it's happened I don't even know how tell hubby how silly does that sound!!! Just hope it goes well and we get past the 3 month stage ok.. Thanks everyone for your support and congratulations to everyone!! Sorry for being self absorbed today and not responding to individual messages.

I hope I can give some of you with bfns some hope and baby dust, I'm 26 and 4 years ago I had major surgery involving the removal of my spleen and most of my pancreas following the diagnosis of a pancreatic tumour. I've had such a tough few years with various health issues and although we have been married 5 years I felt scared to TTC as I thought it would take ages as my body doesn't feel 'balanced'. This was however our first month!!

redstrawberries101 · 08/11/2015 16:52

It doesn't feel true at all!!

pinkpumpkin99 · 08/11/2015 17:19

Congrats on all the BFPs Grin Flowers keep them coming ladies

Personally I am out AF is here Sad Wine

ScottishLady7 · 08/11/2015 19:52

Congratulations all you ladies with BFPs!!
AF is due tomorrow and FRER is very definitely a BFN.
I'm definitely disappointed but not surprised as I haven't had AF since I came off the pill last month- patience is needed I think!!
Fx to all you still waiting- I'll most likely see you all on the next bus :)
