@KatnissKringle hope it gets darker for you!

@CaramelCluster congrats that’s a great bfp!

@WildFlower2019 I do hope the old witch is playing tricks on you but if not, you’re a day closer to the next chance.

ChikiTIKI · 06/02/2019 18:26

Well I'm out again!! Just got my period again today so I've had a 16 day cycle followed by a 13 day cycle. Shortest periods of my life! Usually they are over 30 days. Never mind.... On to the next cycle! Good luck everyone who is still to test!

Explorers10 · 06/02/2019 21:17

@caramelcluster

Congratulations!!! Have you told your DH yet?

@chikiTIKI

Sorry to hear you got your AF today

@2018isanewyear

I got my fingers crossed for you that all will go well with your pregnancy

Congratulations to you all with BFPs this month! FX everyone else will get them very soon. 💙
I am very thankful but paranoid today as I took a FRER this morning and it is positive. However, I am due on tomorrow and so worried this won't stick. I miscarried at 3 months and that fear hasn't truly gone away... I know I will be supported if the worst is to happen, though. 😊
Wishing you all well. X

Thanks @Chanel05 @Explorers10 - I have now told my OH and he was shocked but excited. More excited now though so hoping we have a sticky bean. Will try a digital tomorrow but shall not hold my breath as it could still be too early.

@Jese89 that's amazing news huge congratulations for your BFP! So sorry to hear about your previous MC and can understand your concerns, that's a very strong line so I've got my 🤞🏽 you have a sticky bean too! Keep us posted hun and enjoy the moment! Xx

abcriskringle · 07/02/2019 06:36

@Jese89 congrats! Fingers crossed it sticks for you this time!
My line is getting darker...

So just tested with a clear blue line test and there was the faintest line. Not picture worthy. Still not 100% convinced yet as I have had a few chemical pregnancies before. So we'll see but it's a start!!!! X

abcriskringle · 07/02/2019 06:57

Without the flash!

@ChikiTIKI sorry to hear that you’re out. Baby dust for next time.

Congrats @Jese89 that’s a great line.

I don’t know if this is cycle 8 talking but does anyone else have quite a lot of self loathing during af? In the sense that it’s the reason you’re not pregnant and is a constant reminder? DH dropped a baby bomb last night that his cousin is having a baby. I felt pretty rubbish even though he reminded me that we don’t know how long they were trying for. I know. I know this but it’s so hard to see if from another perspective after 8 months without a hint of a bfp. I went swimming just after and that cleared my mind a bit.

Jese89 · 07/02/2019 06:59

Thank you, @KatnissKringle and @CaramelCluster. I think a positive yet realistic outlook is the best one for me right now.
FX they all stick. Sending hope and love to everyone on here. X

CaramelCluster · 07/02/2019 07:50

@KatnissKringle that's a good looking line!!! Knew I could see a line on your previous test so congratulations!! 😍

@HMIB Sounds promising! Please keep us posted, this thread is turning luckier by the days! 🤞🏽

CaramelCluster · 07/02/2019 08:24

I just did my digital...think it's becoming a little bit more real now. Will do my last test in 4 days when AF is due. I'm sticking around for many success stories that will follow this post!

@Chanel05 I tried to remind myself a lot that none knows anyone else's circumstances. I remember I got so upset when a friend of a friend got pregnant only to later find out she had suffered 6 miscarriages and was on he second round of ivf when she fell pregnant. I know it doesn't make it easier but it's something I tried to remind myself each month.

Baby bombing is the worst though! And those 'we wasn't trying just happened' people.... how!?!? How does that happen

abcriskringle · 07/02/2019 10:25

@CaramelCluster congratulations!!! And thank you! Ordered my digital for the weekend :) fingers crossed we both have sticky beans!

HMIB · 07/02/2019 11:38

Just looked at my test from this morning and you can see a faint line no squinting needed. Will try and take a picture, I've hid it in the bathroom as don't want to tell DH just yet and he's obviously gone for a long shower. All I want to do Is stare at it 😂. X

HMIB · 07/02/2019 12:19

So I know it's still a squinter in the picture but you can see it much clearer in person. And came up with in a couple minutes!! 🤞🏻 it's darker tomorrow!! Need to get myself some FRER's!! X

@HMIB ooh looks promising!

Paddypaws91 · 07/02/2019 15:57

Hi everyone, just thought I'd report in that I'm out this cycle. AF has arrived, boo!! On to cycle 3 i go...

Good luck for anyone else waiting to test. Lovely to see all these BFPs!! GrinThanks

CaramelCluster · 07/02/2019 16:10

@HMIB ooooooo I see it, not a squinter from my end. Let us know when you test again!

So sorry to hear that @Paddypaws91 reckon March will bring you all the luck (as it's the best month ever!...not bias at all 😂)

WildFlower2019 · 07/02/2019 16:56

14DPO and AF due today (ish, my cycles vary). Did a cheapie test this morning and of course it’s negative. Hey ho. I’ve had barely-there spotting the last three days in the morning (like one drop a day). Had a little more today so I think AF will be here by tomorrow. Want her to hurry up and come so I can end this cycle now TBH. Ready for that fresh start!

@2018isanewyear I’m so pleased for you & your digital. How exciting! I have everything crossed for you & understand about not feeling ready for the pregnancy boards yet. Gosh, to start MC at your first midwife appt? Heartbreaking.

@ChikiTIKI Sorry about AF. Your cycles seem a little whacky, have you been to the doctors about them? I have the Clue App and it says anything under 24 days is worth visiting the GP for. I hope you’ll stick around for this cycle too, it’s nice to chat with people who are at the same point in the cycle!

@Jese89 That’s a FANTASTIC line. Congrats! I am also crossing everything for you. I hope it’s a sticky bean

@HMIB @KatnissKringle - Hoping for sticky beans for both of you! too

@caramelcluster - woooo!!! Last time, my ClearBlue looked EXACTLY like that too (the blue line one, not the digital). My DH was skeptical as it was so light, so I went and got a digital. I was thrilled when I could show him the word “pregnant”.

@Chanel05 I’m only starting cycle 4 now but I had a TFMR in August last year and it was November before we were given the all-clear to try again. My original due date is less than a month away now. All that to say it’s been a lot longer than 3 months even though it’s only been 3 cycles & that I have an inkling of how you feel. I can’t even look at meghan markle and her bump, as she announced her pregnancy around the time I was ending mine. She also got married exactly one week before I did, so I feel jealous that she got a healthy honeymoon baby and I didn’t. But luckily we’ve had no real life baby bombs since. Though, I do feel sorry for my DH. He’ll be covering for a women at work who is going on maternity leave around my due date. All he keeps thinking is that he should be going on paternity leave and now won’t be & is covering her leave instead. He’s a bit cut up about it.

I also hear you on the self loathing but I have this immediately before AF anyway regardless of TTC (to the point where I’ve often wondered if I have PMDD because my head gets so messed up for a few days & my anxiety shoots up). About an hour ago, I told DH I was sick of my life, which is how I know AF must be on the way, haha. I do hope you’re feeling better today x

@paddypaws91 Sorry the witch got you too. I hope you’re feeling OK. Me, you, chikitiki, chanel, mussie and everybody else on this thread with BFNs will be the lucky ones next, I’m certain of it! I also hope you’ll stick around the thread with me next month :)

Paddypaws91 · 07/02/2019 18:48

I'm fine thanks @WildFlower2019 I haven't been TTC for long, but the support on here really does help when AF rears her ugly head.

Why can't periods come with wine and chocolate? why literally the two worst things - blood and pain?!

Sorry about your BFN :( I hope you get your definitive answer in the next day or so!

If AF does show her ugly face, I'll be there with you through our next cycle Smile

Explorers10 · 07/02/2019 20:07

Wow congratulations @jese89 @HMIB @KatnissKringle

Sorry to hear about AF @paddypaws91

@Explorers10 are you going to wait until Monday of will you cave? Don't know how you have all that will power 😂. X

Explorers10 · 07/02/2019 20:23

@HMIB

I know I'm getting nervous each day now especially everytime I go to the loo but all seems ok. I do want to test early but worried about the disappointment of BFN. But your right not sure how I'm going to manage a whole weekend
