Another month, another period. I was due af yesterday but had no sign but today I've had brown tinged cm so she'll be here tomorrow.

Anyone else out for March already? Feel free to join in my misery lol

Carlotta I can definitely see a line there xx

tiddledpink · 03/04/2017 21:49

Oh and bubblegum saved up fmu is fine; its how I got my bfp with ds!

Had to attend a 5hr meeting first thing at work and wanted something to look forward to after; knew if I tested before I wouldn't have been able to concentrate Grin

carlotta that looks like a bfp to me!!

And thanks ladies, if I pee about 9.30 and then use a frer about 3pm would that be okay? I'm not sure if you can dip frer's or if you have to do them mid stream?

I'm very cautiously positive after the ?implant bleeding and now this but I've been disappointed before so mustn't get hopes up too much x

boatrace30 · 03/04/2017 22:39

carlotta - that's a definite line. Fingers crossed it sticks!! Gah I was determined not to tests till at least 12dpo... now I'm sure I won't manage!!

Bubble I really can't see why dipping wouldn't work. The instructions usually give you instructions for dipping or midstream... I always dip, always scared I'll miss! Confused

I'll get a pack of two frers I think and then if one goes pear-shaped I'll try again properly the next day. Or maybe I'll just wait. I don't want to see a bfn but I also kind of do because I'm driving myself crazy and just want to know if I am or I'm not so I can forget about it! I took an opk just now because I know they can sometimes pick up hcg but it wasn't with fmu and I'm not sure how reliable they can be lol there's a definite line but not as dark as the control line which I read is what it would be if there was hcg present.

Argh. I told myself I wouldn't obsess this cycle...!!!

mother sorry you're feeling crap, hope the creme egg helps! Chocolate fixes most things imo.

bubblegum I think morning wee saved should be fine, I always dip as with the little test strips there's a good chance I'll wee on my fingers, just to make it even more fun! Fingers crossed for you!

Good luck blue and good for you tiddled!

You're a better woman than I am kitty I don't think I held out until dpo 8 last month and of course it was bfn...

Thank you aggy my Glow app says af should be here tomorrow, Ovia is saying Wednesday. I don't know whether to save myself £11 and wait it out and test on Thursday. I've got a feeling the second I hand the money over in Boots, af will show her face haha

Fx bubblegum I prefer the dipping method, no chance of flooding the test out either X

Thank you tiddledpink I'm really anxious, I hate that I'm letting myself get my hopes up when I know deep down it'll be a bfn!

Carlotta hurray!!!!

bubblegum you don't know for sure it's bfn until you test and even if it is bfn it might still be a bit early to get a positive. Good luck!

Wow wee carlotta Congratulations! Xx

Itsjustaphase84 · 04/04/2017 07:58

carlotta congratulations!!! I feel like I've seen you on this journey for a while now, fx it all works out for you xxx

goldielocks29 · 04/04/2017 08:03

I caved yesterday and tested and got a vvvfbfp on an IC, so decided to crack out the frer this morning......I just hope that this one sticks 🤞

April Bus: All aboard!
goldielocks29 · 04/04/2017 08:04

Oops sorry posted too soon! Congrats Carlotta!! Flowers

Beardy1 · 04/04/2017 08:24

carlotta and goldielocks major congrats to you both. Fx for a sticky one!!

I'm cd27 which is usually my period day pre MC. No sign yet and I'm avoiding testing until Friday I think. It's so exciting to see you guys get your positives but I think I have major fear to test. What have your symptoms been like?

goldielocks29 · 04/04/2017 08:38

Haven't really had many symptoms, felt a wee bit queasy on and off but doubt I would really have even noticed it if I hadn't been symptom spotting as it was that faint.

I do have some cramping on one of my sides which I'm trying not to get too worried about as it's the same side as a previous ectopic...but it's only a little bit of discomfort rather than pain.

I'm going to ring my local epu later this week, as they will get my in for an early scan to make sure everything is growing in the right place!

Carlotta82248 · 04/04/2017 08:39

We're in the exact same boat @goldielocks29, praying for stickiness for us both. When are you due AF, I'm not til Sat so know this is by no means a given. I'm just enjoying having some hope x

BlueSpottyTiger · 04/04/2017 08:40

Yay! Congratulations goldie Grin x

Beardy1 · 04/04/2017 09:01

goldielocks I don't blame you for getting in the epu after an ectopic. It's better to be safe. I'm so excited for u though, much deserved after your journey.

I'm feeling a tad sticky and out of breath but don't want to read too much into it in case it's af having a good joke. Wish I wasn't such a scaredy pants and would test. Haven't even bought any so I wouldn't be able to do it. I think I'll wait till the 7th to test so I can have a drink on our wedding anniversary.

Congrats on your bfp ladies!! :)

Had a bit of brown spotting when I went for a wee this morning. Like bloody clockwork Sad guess I'm out. Again. Suppose at least I didn't waste money on frer's. I'm going to head over and make a May train. Good luck to the rest of you!
