I've been for my bloods, I told the practice nurse that I’m giving her half the credit for my BFP as she did my smear on ovulation day πŸ˜‚

Also it was 1st of Feb last year that I got BFP (I wasn’t testing early as we weren’t actively trying) I went straight to doc for bloods that day and they werent back until the Tuesday as it was a bank holiday weekend here (just like this weekend) I’d say the chances of all my dates being the exact same as last year are like a million to one! πŸ₯Ή Praying that it’s a sign and that this one is meant to stick πŸ™ 🌈

@HopeAndStrength I'd somehow also missed that!! How exciting! Best of luck!! πŸ’•

Paws4thought · 01/02/2024 13:57

@HopeAndStrength good luck with your induction!

@Westy22 still plenty of time to get your bfp, as @SnookyPook says we'll be here to support either way.

@Supertrooper101 congratulations, that's the best news, weekly scans is great too! You must be over the moon!

@Sez281 ah I wonder what made him think it would be this month, I bet it was fab finally telling him. I agree one day at a time is the best way forward.
I had my smear this month too just after ovulation, maybe it did help haha.
When will you get results for bloods?

xxcxdonxx · 01/02/2024 14:17

@Sez281 that really is some coincidence and a lovely sign that this is the one for you.
Are you getting bloods to check hcg progress?

@HopeAndStrength wow, tomorrow! Wishing you all the very best xx

Supertrooper101 · 01/02/2024 15:32

@Sez281 as if you were refreshing the thread, i feel quite touched ! Ha. Are you happy about the dates matching up or would you have preferred fresh? Tbh, am pretty sure your happy with a bfp full stop.
Thanks everyone x not sure why am getting them weekly, didnt want to dispute. Could be the heamorrage to keep an eye on it i guess or my age! Lol
@HopeAndStrength does this mean the thread gets its first baby pic tomorrow πŸ€” lol good luck x

Jadeypie · 01/02/2024 17:20

Wow lots to catch up on, been a busy been in work. Back in tonight for a night shift 😴 πŸ˜ͺ

@Supertrooper101 that's amazing news so so happy for you!! Has it calmed the nerves! Glad your getting weekly monitoring too. That hemorage might resolve it's self it's not unheard of! Buzzing for you xx

Sez281 · 01/02/2024 17:56

@Paws4thought That's mad that we both had smears, I'm sure it's just a coincidence but I'll take itπŸ™ŒπŸ˜‚

@xxcxdonxx yeah I don't want to get bogged down with lines on tests so I got hcg bloods today and booked in again next Wednesday to see if they're rising properly. I'm still cramping alot but trying to tell myself that it might be normal πŸ™ Hope you're doing ok xx

@Jadeypie sorry to hear work is so busy, at least it will keep you busy now that you're officially in tww though πŸ˜‰

@Westy22 how are you feeling? You going to hold off testing again?

@Supertrooper101 πŸ˜‚ I genuinely was refreshing it on my phone waiting for your update, I'm so happy that it's good news xx Don't question why you're in weekly, it's a good thing that you'll be monitored so well. It's probably an age and history thing more than anything πŸ‘Œ (I'll probably be the same as a "geriatric" pregnancy πŸ™ˆ)

I'm ok now with the dates being the exact same, it's just such a crazy coincidence. Or maybe I'm super fertile in the middle of January πŸ€·β€β™€οΈI'm just hoping as @SnookyPook said that it might be meant to be as this is the do-over. Just taking it day by day for now πŸ™

@SnookyPook I'm sure you're so excited for your scan tomorrow now, can't wait to hear update ☺️ x

Jadeypie · 01/02/2024 19:15

@Sez281 speaking of smears I had mine too so hopefully it's a lucky coincidence for me haha xx

Westy22 · 01/02/2024 19:49

Thank you guys, you hit the nail on the head @SnookyPook regarding this point being the worst...you have so much hope and then crash down..combined with all the pms and it's the worst week 🀣 I need to really stop early testing as it's so bad for me but I get so excited and forget how crap it makes me feel afterwards lol

I'm going to try and wait it out now I think @Sez281 ateast another few days. My temp went back up today so think AF is still a few days away.

Lovely to hear the positives from everyone though and I'll snap out of my mood soon lol I'm focused on counting down to my docs appointment now and how I'm going to convince them to give me clomid or something 🀣 it's a different gp as the last one wasn't available so I'm nervous they will have a different attitude. X

Jadeypie · 01/02/2024 20:30

@Westy22 totally get you. I was like that the other day with my tests. I got about a hundred pics of them because I could see whipers, think it was a dodgy batch easy@home ones. So don't worry, you're not the only one who does it, haha. I'm not buying any tests until one needs to be done. It's like when u do one then the addiction kicks in and you have to do one every day till af shows because you keep saying to yourself could be a false negative because I'm too esrly!! I hope that's the case for you this cycle xx

Paws4thought · 01/02/2024 21:17

@Jadeypie @Sez281 well if it's worked for all 3 of us there must be something to having your smear done πŸ˜‚ although I was stressed they'd find something.
@Westy22 keeping my fingers crossed for you, you have tested very early so still a good chance you'll get a positive 🀞

Sez281 · 01/02/2024 21:58

@Jadeypie oh I forgot you had yours around the same time. Hopefully it's catching 🀞

@Supertrooper101 I actually haven't got my results back, it takes ages!

@Westy22 I totally get it it's a double edged sword. I am a serial tester. I've had so many cycles of really bad evaps so I came to not expect anything ever and just did them out of curiosity which I one sounds weird. But I also preferred to know when AF was coming. It's a positive sign that your bbt is up so fingers crossed 🀞 Also great that you have your doc appointment coming up. Go in all guns blazing πŸ’ͺ xx

OP posts:
Jadeypie · 01/02/2024 22:19

@Westy22 I second @Sez281 about going in all blazing! I had a list of symptoms and questions on my phone and also pretended I was @Supertrooper101 hahaha xx

Sez281 · 01/02/2024 22:34

I meant to tag you @Paws4thought that I haven't got smear results back yet. It's like 5 weeks or something here πŸ™„

OP posts:
Jadeypie · 02/02/2024 01:15

@Sez281 @Paws4thought I had mine a week later on my nhs ap. Got the letter like three week xx

Westy22 · 02/02/2024 07:00

Haha @Jadeypie ill start preparing a list and practice being more like @Supertrooper101 🀣 I'm not good when I go the docs I end up crying and they automatically say therapy πŸ€£πŸ™ˆ

I swear my body knows when I try to switch off from testing....it's like I know I'll send some pinky/brown mixed in CM that will hook her back in 🀣 proper mind games. 11 dpo CD28, temp is higher today and the CM has definitely got my attention, however my cycles have been shorter in the last 6 months so this could be the start of AF..although it usually hits me full force when it arrives. Pray for me 🀣🀣🀣 i have no tests so I'm not testing πŸ™

Sez281 · 02/02/2024 07:39

Oh @Westy22 that sounds really interesting, I would definitely be encouraged by the cm and high temp 😳 How long are your cycles usually? I know what you mean about going on in armed with questions and falling apart, I try to be like @Supertrooper101 and it comes out like verbal diarrhoea πŸ™ˆπŸ˜‚ Keep us updated if you do decide to test 🀞 xx

I'm only cd29 today, time is dragging so much🫠, it feels so ridiculously early as I have such short cycles (AF was due on cd23) But I decided to do the weeks indicator test this morning as by my calendar I'm 4+1 and I got a "2-3 weeks" pregnant so I'm tentatively happy with thatπŸ™‚. Also I finally marked myself in my app to start tracking. I'm not getting ahead of myself though, I will see how bloods come back and if they go up next week πŸ™

Supertrooper101 · 02/02/2024 08:12

@everyone....lmao..am i like the mental support thought to you guys getting what you want out your appointments lol made me chuckle you 3 saying that lol
@Westy22 i rekon all that is postive and also a mind fk lol when is af actually due? Love that you go in to appointments determained and come out with therapy 🀣 you defo need some, you know, i cant even think of the word lol some kind of skill to keep you strong and focused lol am emotionless so quite the opposite to you. So i probably come across as aragont lol
Think with my smear @Sez281 the results were on the gps system a few days later, got a text message few days after that and then a letter wks after that lol if your worried ring them but am sure they ring your for any abmormalities. Yay to the expensive wks indicator lol let me know if tour screen vanishes after 24hrs lol there a right beast of a stick arnt they lol so next week you should get a 3+..... the extra epu support, looking at the appointment summery, i was referred to them by the ferrility clinic so maybe cos of that....but the , what is it, genaric moms....int that like 35 yr olds haha is there another name for over 40s haha ... whats your due date then...mrs ...am not getting ahead of myself 🀣

SnookyPook · 02/02/2024 08:57

@westy @Westy22 ooh this is sounding intriguing... 🀞🏻

@Sez281 that's wonderful! I never dared do the weeks indicator this time! Happy for you though as it all sounds to be going the right direction πŸ™πŸΌ

@Supertrooper101 how are you feeling this morning? Has it all sunk in from yesterday yet?

HopeAndStrength · 02/02/2024 09:41

Thank you for the well wishes for today! The midwife has phoned and I'm in for induction this afternoon, so hopefully will be able to provide an update over the weekend all being well :)

Westy22 · 02/02/2024 10:30

It says im due on Tuesday, my cycle was 32 last month then before that it's been 30,31,27 so they have changed a bit. So I guess it's just watch and wait 🀣 @Sez281 @Supertrooper101

Ah that's a good result @Sez281 atleast you know it's progressing as it should ❀️

Westy22 · 02/02/2024 10:30

Ahh good luck @HopeAndStrength ❀️
