Congratulations luci! That's a definite line, how exciting!

wowwee123 · 21/10/2016 10:49

congratulations luci.lovely news Flowers

what is this agnus thing?

HighHopes16 · 21/10/2016 11:05

Yay Congrats Luci Grin It was so worth being a poas addict!! So happy for you! Flowers Tempted to try AC again now hmmm.

I've just bought a thermometer to start temping as I literally have no idea when I ovulate with these messed up cycles.

LuciBee231015 · 21/10/2016 11:17

Wowwee, agnus castus is a herbal thing that promotes ovulation and helps shorten long cycles. Worked a treat for me clearly!

MouseLove · 21/10/2016 11:17

Yeah baby!!!!! Ah I'm happy now!! The chanting worked hahaha. Wink

I think if I haven't ovulated and I get a BFN I might have to get some of this Angus Castus to shake AF out of me lol

I think i might test tonight. Totally pooping it. BUT I'm being positive either way. Grin

If I go off CM tracking then I think I ovulated around CD14. I had EWCM from 8-14 and WCM 14-18 then absolutely nothing. However, my temps are all over the show so not hold out for a BFP.

LuciBee231015 · 21/10/2016 11:26

Yes thanks for the chanting ladies! Got a clear blue digital for the morning too. According to the app I'm 3 weeks and 6 days lol.

wowwee123 · 21/10/2016 11:57

thanks luci will see what my cycles are like when i stop pill.

congrats again. i live a bfp pic.

MoonlightMojitos · 21/10/2016 12:49

Congrats luci!!!! Just in time to join me with June due dates :D!

tata yes that's true, even if it was high you would get a low reading first day!

Good luck mouse!

tatatetelle · 21/10/2016 12:55

sarahhh1984 · 21/10/2016 13:34

Congrats Luci! That line's very similar to the line on my first FRER so you may be slightly further along than your cycle dates suggest - I was! Smile

If I were you I'd save that Clearblue Digital for a day or two. They're not as sensitive as FRERs and I've spoken to a few people who've had a (false) BFN on one after getting a BFP on a non-digital test. It's caused them no end of needless worry and wouldn't want you to go through that. Just could be worth giving your body time to produce a few more pg hormones first! In the meantime you could always make a GP appointment!

Congratulations again! x

LuciBee231015 · 21/10/2016 14:37

I will save my digital one for tomorrow or say, I have 2 of them.

I feel really strange, I'm at work so waiting til I get home to tell dh. I'm not quite sure how I feel, I think it's just shock actually. Can't wait to tell him though, it's our first wedding anniversary on Sunday so a lovely present! 😊

Going to call the doctors on monday.

Piehunter · 21/10/2016 14:38

Congratulations Luci Grin

LuciBee231015 · 21/10/2016 14:50

Thanks everyone xx

sarahhh1984 · 21/10/2016 14:51

Oh that's lovely, Luci. I was in complete shock. I was the same as you - conceived on second cycle off the pill. Really wasn't expecting it to happen so quickly. It didn't feel real until all my appointments started!

Hope work finishes quickly for you so you can go home and celebrate the good news! x

MouseLove · 21/10/2016 15:14

Omg Luci... wait till Sunday and give him a wrapped pee stick!!!! That's the perfect pressie!

Kaisha02 · 21/10/2016 18:37

Luci congratulations!!!! Super exciting!

Seven0fNine · 21/10/2016 19:31

Yaaaayayyayayyaay! Soo happy for you, go Luci!!!!!! What did your DH say?! X

MouseLove · 21/10/2016 21:27

Well that was hard. BFN ladies. 

On one hand I think I already knew, on the other I feel so devastated. Everything was against me. My sister turned up and stayed for tea then didn't leave for another hour.

So we went to Asda to get a test. The first response ones were sold out. I got a pack of Asda tests. Then I needed a nervous poop on the way home. Went to the loo and couldn't pee!!!

I think I'll pee on the other one tomorrow just in case but I'm pretty sure I'm now on the wonderful and uncertain wait for AF, whenever she decides to turn up. We should take a bet on which day she shows. Today is CD36 

Thank you to everyone who's listened to my rambling commentary this past month. X

looby1304 · 22/10/2016 07:51

Sorry to hear that mouse ShockFlowers

LuciBee231015 · 22/10/2016 07:52

Dh was so shocked. I told him. That I had an early present for him and to close his eyes and hold his hand out. I put the pee stick in his hand!! Haha! He was so surprised! To be honest we weren't expecting it to happen this quickly.

Mouse - sorry about the bfn 😔 Hope your ok x

Seven0fNine · 22/10/2016 08:07

Hope you are OK mouse, I had the same feelings my first cycle and did tests and had loads of symptoms then AF didn't make an appearance for another 60 odd days. It's horrible!! Xx

Such a lovely first anniversary present Luci....it's our 2nd on Tuesday and the only present I'm gonna be giving DH is a steak and a glass of wine to lure him into bed. Although don't actually want to conceive this month (if I'm having a shorter cycle that is) because it would be due in July and that's not good for summer holiday / mat leave optimisation!!!

HighHopes16 · 22/10/2016 12:03

So sweet Luci !
Was this your first Cycle Mouse?
Well I turned into an emotional wreck this morning! My friends were asking if we wanted to plan a night out for NYE and I remembered how last year we had a mad one cause we thought we'd either be expecting or have a baby this year. Sad I used to not want to plan night outs in advance at the risk of getting a bfp and hiding the fact I was not drinking. But 11 months of ttc later, I feel like its never going to happen so it doesn't really matter. Ugh !Sad

MouseLove · 22/10/2016 12:25

Thank you ladies. I'm good. Was a bit upset last night but DH reassured me everything was normal. I just hope AF shows up soon.

BBS83 · 22/10/2016 18:36

Congrats Luci! So excited for you.

Mouse know how you feel I am on cd 48, my lonest cycle was 41 days. No AF syptoms and have been a crazy person with poas....but every time a bfp. Just want af to come so I can move on to cycle 14. Think I am going to book an appointment with the doc for next week.

Purpleviola14 · 22/10/2016 18:45

Congrats Luci! Lovely news and brilliant way of telling DH.
Just been trying to catch up with you all, I have been very naughty and not posted in a while again but I do try and keep up with you all Smile
Bless you highhopes I have been exactly the same recently so I really sympathise with you. My sisters getting married next year and originally when she told us at the beginning of this year I was all 'oh I dunno if I'll be able to do that cos I'll be pregnant or have a lo by then' now I think I've just given up hope.

Been a very emotional month for me, I'm on cycle 6 and last month felt like the winning cycle. But it wasn't. I went for my day 21 bloods done and luckily that all came back normal. DH had a SA done and it's come back borderline, not low but not high. I am devastated Sad so now he's got to repeat the process until we move onto the next stage. Feel like I'm further away than ever from being pregnant!
