First time TTC - thread five!

[LisaSimpsonsbff]

Yet again we've managed to exchange nearly 1000 posts swapping our tales of peeing on sticks, dancing for babies, trying to stop Auntie Flo's all too frequent visits, and sometimes, just sometimes, of Big Fat Positives! So let's begin thread five with some updated stats. Me first...

Eva30- I LOVE the idea of a f**k it day! Genius 😊 and so uplifting xx

Thanks Eva - you're right, HSG is at least a step forward. And fuck it day will be a hike ending at a pub this Saturday. Weirdly spotting has stopped, but I'm preparing myself for AF. Can't make appointment until it's properly here. Sorry to hear about your cramps 🙁 This is all so hard!!!

Aaaaaaand I've just been baby bombed - great.

Still only barely there spotting when I wipe. No ideas what's going on 😫

stepmum it was pjs idea - fab isn't it, definitely what we all need when af arrives.
Ugh pjs that's the last thing you need!! How many dpo are you?

I'm almost always 30 days (a random 32 day cycle in July) so tomorrow is my day of reckoning (even though I know I'm out and I got a bfn on tues I'm getting my hopes up. Official crazy lady over here)

I know Eva - while obviously happy for her, was like a kick in the uterus. Am 13dpo today so too late for implantation bleeding I think. Just my body being a total dick 😒 Have never spotted before, it's like each cycle brings a brand new headf*ck to deal with!

I really really have my fx crossed for you!!

You're not the out till you're out eva! Fx!!

Basset It must be the week for rage - hormones, or lack of sleep, have a lot to answer for!!

Sorry about the baby bomb too pyjamas, once you start TTC it seems to be everywhere!!

AFM, after thinking I'd done well with AF just about to show up, it appears, and sorry, TMI, after various googling attempts to be post pill mucus plug, I think gross anyway, however probably no need to pee on a fiver on Saturday as there's no chance DHs little guys could have gotten anywhere near where they needed to be anyway! Sadly almost relieved that something has happened and back to waiting for AF! At least it's almost Friday & I can have a

Just catching up on everyone - sorry to those who AF got. Fx for you, Eva! And pj, you know what they say - you're not out until...

Help needed please - am going away tomorrow evening on, what is normally, a big drinking weekend. Ovia says test due on Sunday, as an due AF on weds. Shall I test tomorrow morning to be in the safe side as don't want to damage anything that may possibly be there （🤞🤞🙌👏🏻🙏) or, do I wait til Sunday? X

Hm tough one stepmum - you could test tomorrow but that would still be pretty early, so a BFN may not necessarily be a BFN. Personally, I would go and enjoy myself and test on Sunday, lots of people don't know they're pregnant until they're late and drink until then!

Thanks for all your support today everyone - it's been a pretty miserable day. Still no AF and only the teeniest of tiniest (like I really have to inspect the loo roll - nice) pink CM. Most odd. And infuriating.

pjs yeah I was thinking implantation too. We'll have our answers soon.

I have bad AF cramps now so I'll be amazed if she doesn't turn up tomorrow.

Thanks lisa and kaydee
stepmum hmm I'd probably do the same as pjs said. But if you'd rather just poas so you can relax then go for it. How many dpo will you be on Saturday?

Eva30-thanks for advice :-) stupid question- what's dpo?! 😕

Days post ovulation. I've seen people get their bfp's from about 10dpo onwards, but also seen people get bfn at 10dpo and then bfp at 13dpo.

FX for everyone. FW coming up this weekend...!

Sorry about the bfns and baby bombs. I have a bottle of red in mind for possible first f**k it day. ;)

Eva30- well, Ovia says my last "fertile" day was the 3rd....😕.....so minimum of 9?

Sorry to hear everyone's tales of woe :( im on CD11 here so different end of the cycle to everyone else but fx for you all! I have no idea when my FW is as the sticks didn't show anything last month so we're just going for DTD every other day for as long we can... Hope this will work!

Opinions needed please? I have in to temptation, and got a BFN, but it has a faint other line! Any ideas? Am I being too hopeful? 🤞🤞😕

Omg I see a line!!! It's faint but I think that's a bfp!! Is the line pink? I think it is, but pic is a bit blurry!

This one better?

Stepmum That's definitely a line!! I guess it's v faint because you're only about 10Dpo. Can you get any other test brands to comfirm?

I'd say that's a BFP!!! Test on Sunday and should hopefully be darker! Wooooooooooo!!

A line is a line stepmum!!! Congratulations

😊😊 I woke my husband up (I'm a Teacher so had to leave early) and he said "I can't see it, but ok". Gaaaah. What a way to rain on my parade! Eeeeeek. No G&T for me this weekend at our weekend away. Now to find a way to avoid drinking questions from my mother...... 😏

Stepmum congratulations that's a line. Did you dip in your stream? I find it more accurate to pee into a pot and then dip. You can get a much better line that way. Good luck tomorrow!! X

Yeh I did - I'll do another on Sunday when we get home. 😊

Congratulations, stepmum - I'm terrible at seeing lines, but I can see it there! Have a lovely weekend and fx for a nice strong line on Sunday!
