@cupcakesandglitter @Lozzlepop thanks ladies 😘

whatsthecraic91 · 11/08/2019 22:15

@Lozzlepop hopefully it’s a quick fix on Tuesday 🤞🏼 No this has never happened before usually when AF starts that’s it no messing about! She’s gone now so DP is keen to start our SMEP tomorrow which will only be CD4 he wants to cover all bases 😂 I’m not saying no 🙈

LokiCat · 12/08/2019 07:00

Morning ladies! My temp spiked this morning, so I decided to do a test on an IC. The line started coming up before it was even dry, so I ran to get a FRER. The FRER line is faint and looks colourless in the photo, but it's definitely pink. DH left for work just as I was testing on the IC so I haven't told him yet. Was just sitting on the toilet seat crying to myself 😂
I'm so shocked! Last time I didn't get a BFP till 13dpo and the IC was so faint.. I'm hoping this is a good sign!!
I'm trying not to get too excited, especially as last time it was such an early mc.
Will do another test on Wednesday to see if the FRER is darker. Just really hope this is a sticky one!

I hope it's okay if I can hang around? You ladies have been so supportive and I couldn't wait to share with you this morning (I took so many photos to try and get the best one 😂). 💕

whatsthecraic91 · 12/08/2019 07:11

@LokiCat yay!!! Congratulations!😊

Sunshine8888 · 12/08/2019 07:36

Huge congrats @LokiCat that is a lovely way to start the week! X

Sunshine8888 · 12/08/2019 07:45

@LokiCatI’m 11DPO today too but can’t bring myself to test! I just don’t feel like it’s happened for me this month. Just going to try and wait it out but I am going a bit crazy

Anny27 · 12/08/2019 07:56

@LokiCat ahhh i am soo happy for you lovely :D those sore boobs were definitley a sign!! How do you plan to tell DH? Xxx

Lemonysherbet · 12/08/2019 07:59

What great news to wake up to @LokiCat huge congratulations to you! Bet you're on cloud 9 this morning

Makingawish · 12/08/2019 08:18

Huge congratulations @LokiCat 🙄

LokiCat · 12/08/2019 08:25

@MrsH497 thank you! I'm sorry I missed your previous message. It is strange that your LP has suddenly shortened. Are you still spotting this morning? Our bodies can be so frustrating..

@whatsthecraic91 thank you! How sweet that your DP is eager to get back into SMEP as well. I hope this cycle is the one, enjoy starting again today 

@Sunshine8888 Thank you! It has definitely brightened up this gloomy Monday. The only reason I tested today was because my temp had spiked quite a bit after the dip yesterday. It is better to wait after AF is late, as you can be 100% sure then. The waiting does make you go crazy though! Fx you get your positive!

@Anny27 thank youu! Haha yeah! I went into paperchase this morning to get some inspiration on how to tell DH but couldn't find anything. I'm wondering whether not to make a big deal about it this time because of our mc previously. I'll probably just put the stick in his face when he gets home from work 😂
Glad SMEP has gone well, sounds like you've been covering all your bases! Did you get a peak this morning?

@Lemonysherbet thank you! I'm trying not too get to excited, but I definitely can't stop smiling. Should probably stop before my colleagues start getting creeped out 😂
You're 11dpo as well, right? When do you think you'll be testing?

@Makingawish thanks! (I'm assuming that emoji was an accident... 👀)

Makingawish · 12/08/2019 08:28

@LokiCat OMG yes!! So sorry! It was supposed to be 🤗

Lottiepink · 12/08/2019 08:36

@LokiCat amazing news to see this morning, hope it's a sticky one for you 😊

MrsH497 · 12/08/2019 09:05

@LokiCat that's what's confused me going from a 29/28 day cycle and normal LP

Well (TMI) tampon was mainly brown some red so not full period at all for me. No cramps either I'm so confused!

Lozzlepop · 12/08/2019 09:13

Morning ladies,

@cupcakesandglitter thats great you are keeping well and not had much nausea 😊 yeah the anxiety is on another level, I found the wait not so bad (the first time) but after experiencing the loss I know that I will be so much more anxious the next time! I hope you are doing ok ❤️

@whatsthecraic91heres hoping! I think they will hopefully be able to sort the roof issue but not sure if it will be another call to the house builder to sort the internal stuff! Good on DP being on board for SMEP 👌🏻

@LokiCat ahhhhhh massive congratulations ❤️what amazing news for a Monday!! So so happy for you, how are you feeling?

How is everyone doing today? I11DPO, have woken up feeling very queasy today 🤢

newgirl89 · 12/08/2019 09:54

Congratulations @LokiCat that's so exciting 💐

Lemonysherbet · 12/08/2019 09:55

@LokiCat smile away, if anyone questions you just tell them it's none of their business 😂

Clearly I can't count, I thought I was 11days po, turns out I'm 9. Getting ahead of myself.

I've got really mild cramps and sore boobs. Got all excited but I get this all the time when I looked back at my previous month's during TTC. I'm using it as an excuse to eat all the junk too!

How is it Monday already? And a gloomy one at that!

flossy12 · 12/08/2019 11:31

Oh my gosh!! @LokiCat congratulations ⭐️🤞🏻😍

LokiCat · 12/08/2019 11:51

@Makingawish haha that's okay, it's easy to do! Thank you!!

@Lottiepink thank you, I really hope so too!

@MrsH497 if it's brown then it's either early spotting for AF coming or implantation bleeding.. I'm not sure if LP can suddenly become short one cycle. Annoyingly all you can do is wait to see what happens - sorry :(

@Lozzlepop thank you!! I'm not feeling pregnant at all, apart from slight sore boobs (which obviously has already started the worrying). I'm already wondering whether this morning actually happened because of it!
Glad someone is coming out tomorrow, hope they can fix it!! I hope you can start TTC again soon. Interesting you're feeling queasy though, I hope you're okay xx

@newgirl89 thank you! 😊

@Lemonysherbet haha I definitely will continue, no questions as of yet. I know I'll have a huge grin on my face (with some tears) when telling DH tonight. I'm rubbish at keeping exciting things to myself!
Haha it happens, still a bit early then! Definitely enjoy all the junk food. Hopefully the cramps/sore boobs are a good sign this cycle. It is frustrating that the signs are exactly same for AF/pregnancy!

@flossy12 Thank you!! 😊

flossy12 · 12/08/2019 11:58

Think AF is finally finished now! Only 5 days long which is normal ish for me! (Between 5/6) days normally

Starting SMEP for the first time this month, just waiting for my OPKs to arrive 😬😬😬

Lemonysherbet · 12/08/2019 12:04

@LokiCat I know, bad thing is I'm an accountant and I can't count 😂 it's DH's birthday in a few weeks, I was thinking how lovely it would be to give him a bfp for his birthday, but there's no way I could keep it to myself for that long

Larrydavid · 12/08/2019 12:07

Ahhhhh @LokiCat huge congratulations! Those are great lines! Everything is crossed for you!!

ELW85 · 12/08/2019 12:26

Afternoon all!

@LokiCat - Aaaaarrrrgggghhhh!!! Yesss! Congratulations- I’m so, so happy for you, matey 💕 how are you feeling? Xx

@MrsH497 - how are you doing? Your luteal phase is the bit that can’t really move so I’d there a chance you Ov earlier? If you don’t get a full flow, I’d be taking a test in a day or so.

I hope everyone is having a decent Monday? Mine is flying given how busy work has been today :)

MrsH497 · 12/08/2019 12:53

@ELW85 I was using OPKs so I wouldn't have thought so as the AM test was high and PM was peak. Something just isn't right 🙁

Anny27 · 12/08/2019 13:01

@LokiCat ahh its all so exciting for you :) a late anniversary present for your DH as well!

Yep got my peak this morning :) my peaks are pretty short so i will probably OV today i think! And then onto the tww!

@Lemonysherbet if we have our BFP thiscycle i was thinking of not telling DH untill our anniversary in september but realistically i would want to tell him right away haha!
