@Babytrain89 these symptoms can mean either pregnancy or AF. Try and keep that optimistic mind set, will help you in the long run. Plus you should be so happy you have such a supportive OH too x

So AF hasn't shown yet but still BFN on IC this morning 🤔 haven't done a FRER since Monday and probably won't again until the weekend if it hasn't shown by then. It's so frustrating when you just want to know either way!!

@Lozzlepop gosh yeah I'll be all over that glass of wine if AF turns up this month! Luckily I already have a dressing room. DP did dare to suggest I should change my dressing room to a nursery and have the spare room kept the same as it is now. My disapproving look made him soon go back on that 😂 If anybody wants to stay over they can take the sofa 😂

@MrsAW2018 that is frustrating! Although those IC pregnancy tests can be a bit hit and miss, and aren't as sensitive as they say apparently. What dpo are you?

About to reach the end of day 5 of flashing smileys I just want it to stay still!! I’m so pleased I’m following this thread though, I’m amazed by how much I’ve learned in my first cycle TTC so thank you all

@FlapJackered I'm 14dpo today so should have a + test by now really😞

@thumper59 @Lozzlepop same here 😂 im like that with guest room, and I'm ITCHING to clear it out because it'll be the nursery... how insane is that 😂 I figure TTC is halfway there to being pregnant 😂 DH was all "oh but where will people stay"... the sofa. Or the floor. Just give me my nursery 😂 I've just got a Pinterest board full of all the ideas I want...

@MrsAW2018 have you tried a FRER? X

Sorry @MrsAW2018 just read it again.. do you know the sensitivity of your IC? X

@cupcakesandglitter not since Monday, and it was a BFN then x

@cupcakesandglitter not off the top of my head but it's a One Step strip x

@MrsAW2018 google says they're 10, BUT I've just found a thread on here showing it's not actually that sensitive- id wait until the weekend x

@cupcakesandglitter ah okay - had heard they weren't as sensitive as they says they are! Should I wait for the weekend and then do a FRER again?!

@MrsAW2018 I would definitely!! FRER will show better than an IC x

@cupcakesandglitter yeah just hate wasting them! But I was expecting my period either Monday or yesterday so I'm officially late! X

@cupcakesandglitter yep I have a full Pinterest board!! 😂

@MrsAW2018 see if you can hold out until Sunday or so, the longer you leave it the better xx

@thumper59 glad it's not just me 😂😂

I've just done another OPK and got my static smiley!!! Good job i did it rather than wait until the morning or I could have missed it. I used one Sat and there was nothing then used again Mon and got my flashing smiley and now CD12 i have my Static. Fingers crossed DP is still in the mood we BD last night but need to make the most of this now.

Eek @PinkFizz19. Seeing that static is the best!!!!! Best of luck to you!! I DTD on the day I got my static and I got my BFP that month so defo get busy!

@MrsLBear Thank you so much I'm currently trying to woo DP and work my magic to get him in the mood as he says he's sore from BD last night. To be fair it was a good sesh

Hope you're keeping well? Will have to keep my fingers crossed that AF stays away and my magic works. Lol xx

@thumper59 haha that’s a great way to look at it, but not sure my OH would be quite so accommodating 😂

@cupcakesandglitter it’s such a valid point we have had one person stay at our house the whole time we have lived here but he still thinks we need a spare room with a king size bed 😂😂

So I was too impatient and decided to poas tonight but was a bfn- not sure if it’s just too soon or cos my cycle hasn’t regulated itself yet. Just want AF to come now so I can get trying again!

@Kittyhop I think I had like 9 days of flashing smileys before I got my static!! Keep going!

@Lozzlepop how many DPO are you now?

@thumper59 I think I’m 11 DPO

So....ummm....POAS and got my BFP! In quite a bit of shock! DH delighted and less overwhelmed. Just goes to show it’s true, you’re not out til AF shows, despite what I thought last week.

Thanks so much to you ladies for your knowledge and encouragement! You’ve been fab!

@Scotslass55 Wow!! Huge Congratulations to you and your DH. So happy for you xxx
