Egg hunters vs the virgin wife - find the BFP - TTC bus 36

[Minster2012]

Ok so we need to get back to us ladies, back to fun games, POAS & getting fit, but you need to help me Cos Minster is flagging with a fuck boy body worse than the rest 🥺

Guess what...it’s nearly Easter & know what that means! 🐰🐣...We don’t want the 🐰to have the fun but bloody hell sometimes it’s a f*cling egg hunt all right 🙈🤣.

March and April we’ve got a lot of exciting times ahead with people going for Clomid & IVF as well as a lot of straight up sex for the “normal” TTC gang so let’s get shagging & FIND THOSE 🐣🌈.

We are still working on our spring challenges alongside trying to get pregnant and we’ve had great results so far- feel free to have a catch up on those and add your own.

And we are still helping each other get fitter, more positive through sharing small changes we are making in our lives and trying to inspire & support each other with these too...as well as of course being there for each other during the sad times.

And if you see mention of my blog then blame these guys they made me do it...#shamelessplug

@Minster2012 oh god that's terrible luck on your ski trip. If it's any conciliation out of the few times I've been skiing there has always been one honeymoon couple we've come across where one of them has really injured themselves, we always thought how awful it must be. Crappy on your ACL still not being right. I heard someone's ACL snap once and the word has made me wince since, has AF pissed off yet for you?

@Justanothercyster hope everything goes ok tonight 😊

@justanothercyster good luck tonight lovely, you got this ❤️😘

@hopeful110 how many dpo are you now hun? Remember everyone is different and if AF still hasn't arrived that is a very good sign!

I had an awful sleep last night, getting sciatica type pain in my bumcheek. Then I got the stretchy ligament pains. Then the dog needed to go out at 4:30am! Then I got up and emptied the dishwasher to find everything still dirty as the tablet hadn't dissolved... One of those days I think!

Ohhh @hopeful110 I'm sorry you're struggling. I understand the lack on pregression is worrying. You've definitely concieve otherwise you wouldn't have a alone at all, remember it only shows up if there's hcg. With regards to if it's a chemical... I hate to say it but it might be. However it could also be slow rising hcg and I think the only way to know is to get your hcg bloods taken.. I would get onto the gp today if you can to get some bloods done ASAP. The 1st test is your baseline and then it's your 2nd test in 48hrs thay determines your progress so the sooner you cna get the 1at test done the better...

I'm keeping everything crossed for you hunny. Are you sure you don't want to tell DH? I understand you don't want to get his hopes up but maybe explain what's happening so he can support you. If he's anything like my OH he would prefer to know ams support you than find out you've been struggling alone. Although we're here to support you, having it irl is so important. Sending you a huge hug, lots of strength & keeping everything crossed this is a sticky beans. 💕🤞🏻🙏🏻💐

@Hopeful110 @Sausage1990 is right, my DH would be devastated if he knew I hadn't told him, yes, if it is a cp it will hurt, but together, I hope it progresses though, I know how awful those days waiting how it goes are

@Kirky658 I'm either 13dpo or 15dpo hun, I just done another frer and a cheapie and there's a line on the frer but I don't think its any darker from Thursday, the ic has a line but jeez it's so faint but it is a 20miu which is why I'm like arghh why is this showing such a faint but there line and the frer is just confusing me :( il post the pics but I don't think you'll be able to see much on camera.

@Sausage1990 thankyou darling, I didn't wanna put a dampener on your news yesterday so wasn't sure even if to say anything today, but yeah I think I'm preparing myself for it to be a chemical, or I'm really hoping maybe I ovulated a day later etc... Im gonna call my GP first thing or do you think it'll be easier to call the gyne? They did say if I got a positive then to let them know? But I dunno if what I have is actually a positive... OH is struggling atm with our 12yr old, typical teenage girl and boy trouble lol. So don't wanna burden him and tbh he will probably say he can't see anything on the tests at all 🤦‍♀️ unless it's like your line he can't see much on tests 🤣 I've told my mum but she seems to be all positive and thinks it just takes time, which I really hope its the case like you said of maybe slow rising hcg but I just don't know, last year I assume I was a good 15dpo before I got a bfp on CB. Il post my pics and see what you all think? But I'm a pessimistic so don't be worried about being honest, I'd rather know I'm seeing things than not :) but thankyou so much, you ladies are beautiful and so supportive, im sorry to start the week being a Debbie downer xxx

Oh @Hopeful110 I still think there is good reason to remain optimistic, there are some threads on the board where people have been in similar situations and it is fine but at the same time, wouldn’t you rather OH knew so they can provide some real life support? Bloods sounds like a good idea.

Oh no AF strikes again @larrythelizard but I suppose that means you can take the time to rest up and heal properly.

Keep going @Justanothercyster, I really hope things get better for you!

I forgot to attach pics 🤦‍♀️

Thanks everyone, for your good luck wishes. I honestly couldn’t see anything in the pic (told you I am rubbish at it), but this morning is another story.... top is yesterday bottom this morning.

Have told DH and remain quietly optimistic. AF not due until end of the week and nothing on the Femometer strip but they are 25miu

I think maybe I see something on the first pic @Hopeful110 but they probably are more obvious in real life. At least the blood tests will give you an actual number.

@Haiyaa awwww congrats lovely!! 💕🥰🎉 now that's how you start the week 🤭 xx

@Haiyaa do you really? I feel like there's something there and it doesn't look grey and was taken at 3 minute mark..just gonna need to be patient haha xxx

Thanks @Hopeful110, actually I don’t know whether I should have posted it sorry if it was insensitive.

@Haiyaa ohhhh dont be silly!! Its a great thing to celebrate and brighten up the week! Remember after every storm comes a rainbow... 🥰 xxx

@Haiyaa Congratulations on your positive!

@Hopeful110 I have no practical advice but crossing my fingers for you. All of the waiting and wondering is so brutal and takes such an emotional toll. I hope you are able to get some bloods done soon.

@justanothercyster Good luck with your appointment tonight. I think we are about the same in terms of dates and I am also constantly feeling so rough. Currently sleeping at least 9 hours a night + lots of laying on the couch in the day. Well aware of what a privilege it is to be able to do that but damn it's boring being so tired.

I had a Japanese lesson last week and I think my teacher thought I was drunk. Couldn't get my brain to work and was messing up even the simplest conversation. Had to have an hour nap afterwards.

Oh @Haiyaa what a lovely start to a Monday!

@Hopeful110 my fingers remain tightly crossed for you, and I agree you should tell OH. Even if it ends up as a CP you'll need his support x

@Hopeful110 big hugs lovely, I've been there with the uncertainty over the lines, feels like you are in limbo - want to get excited but at the same time deep down you know something isn't quite right, but it could go either way. Torture. Like others have said, see if you can get bloods done if you can although know that won't change the outcome either way. The fact AF hasn't shown is a good sign and you have definitely conceived. Hugs hugs hugs x

@Haiyaa congratulations!! You must be over the moon!

@Justanothercyster got everything crossed for you for this evening xx

What a rollercoaster this this!

@Justanothercyster good luck for tonight!
@Haiyaa congrats 🥳 I see the lines!
@Hopeful110 I really hope it's not a CP, I still see a line, will keep fingers crossed for you 🤞🏾

Massive congratulations @Haiyaa!! Super excited for you, wishing you a healthy journey 🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉
How many days PO are you, if you don’t mind me asking? Xxx

@hopeful110 I do see the slightest whisper of a line and I know they don't photograph well. I would contact either the gp or Gynae, whoever can help get your tests done the quickest. If the Gynae said to get in touch then do it, you definitely had a positive. Even if it is a CP then you need the Gynae team to know I'm my opinion. And DH may not be able to see a line but he can be there to emotionally support you 💕

@haiyaa omg!!!! Congratulations!!! I'm excited for you. Let's both sit together in our being cautiously optimistic 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 I did do a cheapy femometer one this morning, as I have tens of them I was curious to see if it would show anything. Yesterday it did but only just and it came up right at the end if the 5mins, probably after tbh. Today it was still very faint on it but came up a bit quicker and within the 3mins 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Thanks everyone, I am excited but as AF is still a way off I think I will be happier after that and then will start getting impatient for a scan.

@Hopeful110 you are so sweet and I really hope this is it for you too. Let us know how your bloods go 😘

@WicketBasket I’m 9 DPO today but wonder if I missed the start of the peak on my LH strips and maybe half a day to a day ahead of that. Only because I could see it on the 8 DPO strip, but I suppose that is neither here nor there.

If everything goes well we could be due date buddies @Sausage1990! Although I will have a section at 38 weeks due to my fibroid removal surgery and 11lb1oz DD.... 😳

I’m trying really hard not to get too excited but it’s not working!

Good Monday morning news @Haiyaa

@TTCAbroad @larrythelizard @Amy00 thankyou ladies! I think I'm gonna tell OH today, his at work atm but your right, no matter the outcome he needs to know ❤

@notyetamumbuttrying @Sausage1990 do you honestly see a line? it's definitely getting fainter though right? Could they be indents though? All of the pics are from 3min mark for frer and 4mins for ic... but makes no sense (other than a cp) as to why the first frer was so obvious and now the rest aren't :( I'm glad I'm not the only one who can see something on them though. Spoke to receptionist, she's gonna get GP to call me back, and when I'm back from preschool run I'm gonna call the gyne too, can't do any harm to have both looking into it right? Thankyou so much ladies 💕 now back to celebrating yours and @Haiyaa bfp yeah? Haha xxx

Yayyy @Haiyaa a Monday BFP 🥳 congratulations! Keep them coming ladies 😊
