Oops the other one got full before new one made. Kept the same name to make it easier to find.

@Kate8989 I work for costa but it's just the being on my feet all day that'll do me in. Yea you need some answers, at least if it is an infection it's an easy solution, hopefully they'll give you some more answers on Friday x

@Funkyemzie I'm sorry you find yourself here and sorry for what you've gone through. I think as a rule they tell everyone to take a test after two weeks, I try not to think about the milestones, DH has told me it's not healthy but it's hard not to. Take it easy and take care of yourself Thanks

Funkyemzie · 27/02/2018 20:38

@DaisyMay25 thank you lovely, same to you. It is hard not to, especially when its so close.

We are definately wanting to try again, my DD will be 11 in August and so the age gap is really starting to bother me even though i know she will be amazing and chuffed to bits. She didn't know anything about this one and things I went into hospital with just tummy problems...which technically isnt lying.

Congratulations @ANewHope18 !!personally I love seeing the BFPs on here because we've earned them and it gives me hope it can happen to me ❤️

Boboelephant · 28/02/2018 09:03

Hey girls a question for you all. I've just started using opks this month. Got a faint line this morning but know it's not positive until it's same colour or darker than test line. How long does it usually take to go from faint to dark?

Eastend2015 · 28/02/2018 09:10

Congratulations @anewhope18! That’s great news.

Good luck today @unicorns x

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 28/02/2018 09:27

Still sat waiting. I really don't want to go through this again

Boboelephant · 28/02/2018 09:41

Good luck @Unicorns!

Thinking of you @Eastend2015

Eastend2015 · 28/02/2018 09:45

Thanks bobo. Hand squeeze unicorns!

Eastend2015 · 28/02/2018 10:10

So the EPU wouldn’t scan me as the pg test was negative (it was actually a v faint positive but came up outside their test timings) and won’t even give me a write up of my visit as they can’t establish that this pregnancy was even there. Bloody protocols! I know this is all good news as hormones are obviously settling very quickly but still feels like a gut punch.

On the upside we called in at the RMC and confirmed a follow up appointment for 20th March so at least that’s soon.

Fingers x’d for good news unicorns!

weasledee · 28/02/2018 10:18

Bobo I got a faint this morning too, usually the next day or 2 it gets stronger. Going to DTD tonight and hopefully the next alternative 2 nights! Smile
Fingers crossed for us :)

PassTheAfterEights · 28/02/2018 10:20

@PumpkinPatch000 glad you're in a better place and hope this month's going your way!

@eastend2015 sorry you had horrible news, bit late catching up -
thinking of you. You too @unicornsandrainbows1 good luck today.

In the two week snoozefest here, preparing for FW starting this weekend. DH cracking me up taking every opportunity to go out in the snow to keep his "men" at peak cool temps Grin

Eastend2015 · 28/02/2018 10:37

Thanks aftereights just trying to keep my chin up! An old school friend randomly came to stay last night as she was working in London which cheered me up. Haha re your DH! I can imagine mine saying the same!

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 28/02/2018 10:57

@Eastend2015 that's such horrible treatment. I'm so annoyed for you Angry

Eastend2015 · 28/02/2018 11:52

Ah well unicorns nothing surprises me these days. You still waiting?

Boboelephant · 28/02/2018 12:50

@Eastend2015 that's rubbish. How frustrating!!
Thanks @weasledee. Ooh fingers crossed for us!!!
I'm actually doing SMEP and today is an off day. But because of the faint line on opk and loads of EWCM this morning I keep thinking I should be dtd tonight! Then again prob should conserve energy for when it goes positive! What so you all think?
Haha @PassTheAfterEights!! Sounds like my DH!!

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 28/02/2018 13:18

@Eastend2015 We finished up a couple of hours ago after a wait of 2 hours, so luckily out of that shitty place for now.

Funkyemzie · 28/02/2018 13:28

Right, I've not had lunch and seen as these last 2 weeks have been pretty high up there in the shitness factor I am treating myself today to 2 boiled runny eggs and overly buttered soilders for today!!! Mmm!!! (Sorry, not sorry 😍) xxx

Funkyemzie · 28/02/2018 13:44

Actually, no I am sorry to all of you with Bfp's so far, that was insensitive of me!!! I have craved this since finding out I was pregnant so I thought that seen as all this crapness happened that I could give in and treat myself. I know you can have them now during pregnancy with the tractor on but I swerved on the air of caution. Love to you all. Xxx

DaisyMay25 · 28/02/2018 13:56

@Funkyemzie haha I know that feeling, feel like eating a wheel of Brie every time AF comes just in case I can't have it again for another 9 months!

Also does anyone else ovulate at random CDs? Last month was CD 13 and this month CD18, I'm not using opks but know I did yesterday because of cm and tender boobs.

Eastend2015 · 28/02/2018 13:57

@unicornsandrainbows1 I hope the news was good. Do keeps us all updated!

Claire138 · 28/02/2018 14:37

@eastend2015 that is so frustrating! I’m sorry that they aren’t being more helpful!

@unicornsandrainbows1 hope it all went well!

Cakelaur · 28/02/2018 14:45

Chart ladies... advice please.....
temp has shot up but peak on CBFM. Would you drive halfway across London to go DTD around midnight tonight after hubby finishes work? Or just call it a day for this month?
I've got a few 💜's in. But I think I've already ovulated before the CBFM registered the peak.

Eastend2015 · 28/02/2018 15:13

Thanks ladies- I’ve made my peace with it. They wouldn’t scan because there would be nothing to see and they can’t document it for the same reason. The RMC don’t need anything documented so it is what it is. They were quite compassionate about it! A tiny bit of you always hopes for some crazy miracle that’s all. At least the RMC are seeing me soon and then we can get back to TTC, hopefully with a better outcome. Lots of tea and chocolate today!!

Funkyemzie · 28/02/2018 15:49

@Eastend2015 that is tough, im so sorry! Hope you can back to txt again quickly and painlessly. I know what you mean about holding out for a miracle, be kind to yourself.

@Cakelaur if you feel like you have done enough then leave it but if you feel in your heart that you could go one more time and it's worth it enough to travel that far then go for it, it won't hurt. Fx for you.

Funkyemzie · 28/02/2018 15:50

Sorry, that was meant to say ttc not txt! Apologies. Xxx
