Wow!!!! So exciting! Congrats Flowers

is this our first Clearblue Stripper BFP?

Cherylttcagain · 14/07/2017 08:48

Congratulations Limp! Thats fantastic news :D Will you keep testing to see it darken or just leave it now? Can defo see the second line in the close up pic. So happy for you!!!

LimpLettice · 14/07/2017 09:21

Thank you both! I'm in shock really. I'd convinced myself that at my age, with coil etc, it might never happen or might take forever. I will defo hang about for a bit, hoping I'm the first in a domino effect 😁

I have one frer and a couple strips leftover so there will be more testing and I'd like to see a digi too. Just hoping it sticks. Telling DP when he's home tonight, think he'll cry 😋

EMHW123 · 14/07/2017 11:32

Awww limp this is just wonderful!! Over the moon for you!!

A first bfp for the strippers! Woop! 🙌

Oooh Cheryl!! The waiting game! Fingers crossed!

I'm away from Wednesday next week when I'll be ovulating I think! Face palm! I think I'll write this month off! xx

McTufty · 14/07/2017 13:43

Yeah you better stick around limp!!! You're our good luck charm!

Ahhh that's so annoying emhw!!!!! Will you be around your DH for some of your fertile window though? So you'll be in with a shot?

LimpLettice · 14/07/2017 14:17

You might still be ok for the few days before EMHW, which I belive are the really important ones.

I defo will. Did Kuba dissappear, wanted to see she how she was?

Cherylttcagain · 14/07/2017 14:53

Yup that looooong wait lol I'm feeling really good this cycle. I'd love a bfp but i feel more relaxed about it all.

So glad you're sicking around Limp :D

Ah noooo! emhw, i hope you get to pounce on him at least a couple of times before you're away!

Cherylttcagain · 14/07/2017 14:53

sticking*

God, I hope you're not sicking around just yet!

LimpLettice · 14/07/2017 17:25

Haha Cheryl! Not yet.

DP cracks me up. Quietly utterly thrilled, very very pleased the 'baby gravy' works. Boak and aww all at the same time 🙄

LimpLettice · 15/07/2017 10:27

Morning strippers. Little bit of pinky brown spotting this morning. Hoping like hell its some sort of break through as af would have been yesterday. Bit grumpy now. Going to take it easy lazy today.

Presh12345 · 15/07/2017 11:42

AF arrived! That's me out! Unless implantation.....what's the difference??

Cherylttcagain · 15/07/2017 12:38

implantation will be pink of brown. AF is red, dark red, clots.

Cherylttcagain · 15/07/2017 12:39

pink/brown is ok! Glad you're taking it easy today.

McTufty · 15/07/2017 23:42

Sorry to hear that presh. Fingers crossed next month.

limp Sure that must be very nerve wracking but it's quite normal I am sure! Hope you've had a relaxing day.

All well here. DH and I are away for the weekend and this has taken my mind off TTC!

Cherylttcagain · 16/07/2017 00:21

Wow Mctufty, that sounds fantastic :D

Who's coming to the end of their cycle next?
I think I'm 10dpo on wednesday and will probably end up caving and testing (even though I'd prefer to have some will power and wait til the weekend!).

LimpLettice · 16/07/2017 07:43

Hope you're having a fab weekend.

No more bleeding or cramps but second frer this morning is a bfn. No matter how hard I stare at it. Think I'm looking at a chemical. Ffs. Everyone's still asleep here. DP will be so sad. Pfft.

Cherylttcagain · 16/07/2017 09:03

Oh Limp, so sorry to hear that! Maybe its a dodgey test?! :(

LimpLettice · 16/07/2017 09:13

I've spoken to the epu and they've said as I'd be approaching 4.5 weeks it is worth going in for bloods tomorrow. Dunno though. I've felt fairly pessimistic about ttc at my age, and felt like I'd won the lottery on Friday. Such a good line at 13dpo. All weekend I've had loads of symptoms, bloating, soreness, even nausea in the night last night.

Now I'm convinced it's a CP and feeling totally meh. Don't want to convince myself it's a dodgy test and raise false hope. Cause the language but feeling really fucking fucked off. Pj day today. Sad

McTufty · 16/07/2017 11:21

Oh no! I am so gutted to hear that limp. I have everything crossed it is a duff test Flowers

Cherylttcagain · 16/07/2017 11:37

Will you do as they suggested and go in for bloods tomorrow?

LimpLettice · 16/07/2017 12:26

I've picked up a clearblue (all they had) in Tesco for this evening. Costing me a freaking fortune. I don't know Cheryl I just feel it would be a waste of their time. Hormones clearly haven't subsided as I'm about as miserable as possible. Have to decide after CB later but if that's a bfn too I won't bother. Sorry strippers, was hoping to be an omen. Sad

Cherylttcagain · 16/07/2017 14:20

Don't worry about us Limp, we just want you to be ok (I'm sure the others agree).
I'll cross everything for you... our bodies are so bloody naughty sometimes.
You deserve your Drs time, if you feel up to it, it wouldn't be wasting it.

LimpLettice · 16/07/2017 16:42

Losing the will to live now thanks Cheryl. 3 hour hold, clear positive on clearblue cross test within 3 minutes. The frer from this morning has the finest pink ghost of a line (Friday's was pretty clear) when broken open. Was out for a few hours last night at a friends barbecue, and polished off quite a lot of no alcohol wine. Now wondering if that and a pint of water before bed diluted stuff. Which is probably bollocks.

Still cramping, few more spots today but really tiny. Have realised I've a school thing in the morn and can't get to the epu. So it's just a waiting game now.

McTufty · 16/07/2017 16:59

So your tests today were positive? That's a brilliant sign, sounds like you had a duff test. I have everything crossed. Make an appointment ASAP, if only to set your mind at ease.

LinzLinz · 16/07/2017 18:09

Just catching up on everyone's posts, best of luck @LimpLettice I have everything crossed for you!
