@boboelephant I think the 79% odds sound good 🤣 but I know what you mean...those BFN’s really feel like a slap in the face!
@weasledee I can def see a line. How many dpo are you?
@lovemysparkle love how you talk about your honeymoon so romantically and then you finish with hitting up magaluf...love it! Let you’re hair down! 💃
@laney79 I hope everything goes as well as it can on Wednesday. It’s awful how long it has taken and I’m sorry you are still going through this. ❤️

peachesarenom · 16/04/2018 19:32

PassTheAfterEights hugs! I think you might like to try the progesterone cream. What do you think? Also, cakelaur didn't get her BFP till past AF.

Looks good weasledee I think you only have to worry about red blood.

Boboelephant · 16/04/2018 19:58

@weasledee it's definitely darker. I know because I can see this one! 😉 like peaches said, I don't think brown is worry.
@Lovemysparkle good for you!! Love to hear someone making lemonade out of lemons! And hell yeah party on magaluf!! Do it now whilst you can. I have a 2yo and the party energy is definitely gone! Haha!
@Laney79 I'm so sorry. It's really crap. Fingers crossed for a miracle before Wednesday.
@Claire138 haha yeah I might give in for Wed. Although i don't have alot of luck with percentages. I'm that stupid 1% of pregnancies ends in.... person.

Ha ha bobo yes the other one was a super squinter that's for sure!

hayleyfx · 16/04/2018 21:14

@Boboelephant @ek78 fingers crossed! I’m so nervous for tomorrow, quite strong cramps today but staying positive 🤞
Haven’t even mentioned a word of this to DP and I don’t plan on doing so unless I get a positive digital as he is rubbish at reading test results!! 🙄😂 I could have a positive digital and he’d probably still question it 🤣 also don’t want to get his hopes up again for no reason. Tbh I’ve actually been convincing myself all day that it must be a false positive and I shouldn’t feel hopeful, why do I do that 🤦‍♀️😂
@Lovemysparkle your wedding sounds like it will be amazing!! Hope you have a wonderful day and have fun on your minimoon, have as many cocktails as you like - I certainly did in Tenerife haha! So glad you’re staying positive!
@weasledee yep that’s darker for sure! I hope it continues to get darker for you, so exciting 😊

BabynameEdie · 16/04/2018 22:41

Sorry everyone have got a bit lost in posts but wanted to say hi & am going to catch up now with a cuppa in bed ☺️
@weasledee I can def see it! 🤞it continues to darken, it's going in the right direction at least
@Boboelephant if you think it'll make you sad to test early then try to stay strong. I'm just going for it because I'm so confused and apparently still haven't ovulated, so am just testing away assuming it'll keep being a no 🤷🏻‍♀️ Thursday isn't too far away now 👏😀

BabynameEdie · 16/04/2018 22:43

@hayleyfx 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 baby dust wishes coming your way for testing tomorrow

BabynameEdie · 16/04/2018 22:45

@Claire138 @PassTheAfterEights @YellowDaffodils86 and anyone else still in tww with me 🙌 hiya & hope you're all ok. Sorry am sure there are lots more of you but it's so hard to keep up with all these wonderful messages. Keep em coming, I love reading them 💕

Cakelaur · 16/04/2018 22:51

I know I haven't even read anyone's messages yet! I've been cleaning up puppy pee all day!! Haha.. but can I just say.
IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS WEEK OF TESTING!!! Makes me wanna POAS Friday!!! Hahaha

BabynameEdie · 16/04/2018 23:06

@Cakelaur ahh yes, puppy pee cleaning...it'll drive you mad. My lowest moment involved walking in bare feet through the kitchen at night and treading slap bang into the middle of a 💩🐶
Oh the happy memories 😂 but she's is worth it! And yours is too I'm sure!

Beck1988 · 17/04/2018 07:31

Wakey wakey girls I wanna see these poas pics hurry up! 🤞For all of u! X

Cakelaur · 17/04/2018 07:38

@Beck1988 OOOH ME TOO!! Poas Tuesday!! It's the new Friday!!!

Claire138 · 17/04/2018 07:51

Don’t get excited...it’s an ovulation rest. Do you think it’s starting to turn negative 🤞

Daffodil77 · 17/04/2018 08:03

@Claire138 you know us too well. I'd say it was getting lighter. Do you temp?

Ugh, only 4dpo. This is slow. Also, my DH passed his last exam and qualified as an accountant on Sunday night. This was his 3rd attempt at the exam. I feel like we've used all our luck for this month. Or maybe the tide is turning and things are going our way. This month would be incredibly meaningful for a number of reasons. Definitely going to be a long tww.

L1zz13 · 17/04/2018 08:15

Morning ladies.
I just posted a thread about waiting for AF after MC.
I'm currently on day 34. Still testing positive (just about) and half convinced my body is getting ready for AF?!?
How long did you all wait for your first AFs?
Did any of you get proper support from a GP or did they tell you to wait and see?
I can't make up my mind to see my GP as I don't want to feel like a waste of space after being told to go home and sit it out!
Thanks in advance xx

Cakelaur · 17/04/2018 08:23

@Claire138 I'd say it's ever so slightly fainter. How many days in a row has it been like this?

@Daffodil77 I have everything crossed for you! When are you testing??!

Cakelaur · 17/04/2018 08:24

@L1zz13 I got my first AF a week later than usual after I have erpc with my mmc. How long is your normal cycle?

HidCat · 17/04/2018 08:29

@L1zz13 I'm at 13 weeks post mc and just got my negative hpt 10days ago. Had positive opk on Friday so expecting AF in 2 weeks ish. It can take a while but as long as your hpts keep getting lighter then feel reassured that things are moving the right way. If you're at all worried about any symptoms then call your epu or gp and they'll get you checked out if the symptoms are of any concern.

Claire138 · 17/04/2018 08:34

Thanks @daffodil77 and @cakelaur it was darker than the control line yesterday and the day before that it was the same colour as the control line so I’m starting to think it’s maybe finally turning negative. It’s been a really weird month and I’m getting all this after my temp spike!? My temp spiked 3 days ago.
@daffodil77 congrats to your hubby!! I know how difficult those exams are from friends. Keep positive! This might be your lucky month!
Hope you are doing well @cakelaur and feeling very pregnant!
@L1zz13 I had an ERPC and had a 34 days cycle from my usual 30 day cycle but they say everyone is different and can take 6 weeks so try not to worry if it’s a bit longer. Sorry for your loss 💐

Daffodil77 · 17/04/2018 08:42

@cakelaur I'll test 13dpo which is next Thursday. Luteal phase is normally 11 days, so should be a good sign if not out by 13. My ovulation is very clear on my bbt chart so confident of where I am.

@L1zz13 I had a very short period after two weeks then a proper one two weeks after that. So I'm not much help. Hopefully it comes soon. My first four/five cycles were a bit odd due to hormone imbalance (I suspect) so it can take a while for your body to get back to normal. However my last couple have looked good and healthy so keep the faith if you find yourself in that situation.

Daffodil77 · 17/04/2018 08:43

@Claire138 thank you! I qualified nearly 4 years ago with similar exams so it's felt like a long time!

ek78 · 17/04/2018 08:47

Hi @L1zz13 I'm waiting alongside you - although my mc bleed has only just stopped-. I'm 8 days since mc. After my last mc AF arrived 36 days after (counting the mc as the day I passed the sac). I'm really hoping it is the same for me this time, but as others have said it can vary.

Oh @laney79 I'm so sorry that this is dragging on. I hope that it gets easier for you after tomorrow. At least then things will be moving on. Try and be kind to yourself.

hayleyfx · 17/04/2018 09:10

BFN on a frer... so confused. Not feeling down though, what will be will be!! I’m guessing it was a false positive then on the cheapie? I don’t think I’ll be buying those cheapies again haha! 🙄

hayleyfx · 17/04/2018 09:13

@Claire138 I would say it’s a bit lighter then if it was darker than control line yesterday! Hopefully it goes back to negative for you tomorrow!

PassTheAfterEights · 17/04/2018 09:21

@claire138 @zarala @boboelephant thanks - hadn't thought of it that way but if they have been 'lines' and therefore chemicals then suppose we might meet the criteria for a poke about DREAD Will give it a whirl anyway.

@peachesarenom say whaaaaat? haven't heard of progesterone cream - can you clue me in please?

Waiting for the bitch witch here, and to hear back on the mortgage - 10 weeks after offer accepted 🙄 Limbo all round for the AfterEights 🤦‍♀️

FX for all testers & big squeeze to all those riding out the tail end of losses, it's miserable (#toptip I spent a looot of time in the bath drinking red wine, ate fillet steak, swear it helped) may you all be back on the TTC wagon soon x x
