I've joined the list !! Not sure I've got my CD correct ?? 17 days ago was the last day I took the pill ??

funkybumps · 20/10/2008 12:29

hi all, OMG !!!!!!!! I've just done an ebay cheapie 6 days before my AF. Got a very faint line so did another and a very faint line has come up again. Do you think it's too early to give an accurate result ?

OMG. I think you should now go out and buy a first response!!! Congrats. xxxx

funkybumps · 20/10/2008 12:39

I'm too scared now incase it comes back negative. I do have a clear blue digital but it says use from 4 days before AF so may wait until Wednesday. The lines are incredibly faint so I won't get too excited until day of AF ( gosh, Saturday seems ages away now..what made me test this early ??? )

sammysam · 20/10/2008 13:16

its a good sign funky bumps!! congratulations - i hope it gets darker for you!!

i want to test now!!

mickeylou · 20/10/2008 13:24

thats great news funky bumps. will keep everything crossed for you!!! xx

funkybumps · 20/10/2008 13:43

thanks girls, dug the tests out of the bin a few mins ago and checked again just to be sure. They are definate lines now. Just scared because I know the stats on chemical pregnancies and vowed I wouldn't test early for this reason.

Funnily enough I already have a docs appointment in the morning due to having thrush so I may mention to her and see what she thinks. I am desperate to test again but have had a cup of tea to calm my nerves so will have diluted the HCG therefore, I will have to be good and wait !

lillypie · 20/10/2008 13:45

OOOH fingers crossed for you funky bumps!!!!

My pre-seed has just turned up in the post so I am looking forward to BDing this cycle

liahgen · 20/10/2008 14:24

hi all.

Can i join?

Bit late in the thread but we ate ttc#6

Period, 4th Oct, have positive ov sticks over wekend so got dh in headlock, and so now will be on day???? 16 is that right?

dd is 17 mths and still bf her so this was my 1st period since having her.

lillypie · 20/10/2008 14:58

LOL at dh in a headlock

wow ttc6 that's brilliant.

I'd love to have loads more but at my age I'd consider myself bloody lucky to concieve just once more.

liahgen · 20/10/2008 16:26

yeah, mad is the word i think you are looking for.

Seriously, i feel a bit greedy sometimes when i look on here, but mother nature is a powerful force is she not? I just don't feel finished. Does that make sense?

How long have you been trying Lilly? How old are you if you don't mind me asking? I'm 42 now so knocking on a bit i fear.

ForcesSweetheart · 20/10/2008 16:46

Bit late joining the thread but here goes. TTC #2. DD is 2y 9mo, conceived with help from Persona after over a year of no bfp's. Ov'd on Saturday night and BD'd then too. DH works away and is only home fri/sat nights so good timing this month for our first official attempt.

ForcesSweetheart · 20/10/2008 16:49

Oops forgot to say, UCL is 28 days - on cd 21 today

liahgen · 20/10/2008 17:01

forces.

if you ov sat then what day in your cycle was that? seems quite late.

I ov sat/sun and it was day 14/15

I googled due date from date of (?) conception, and it made me 3wks and 2 days preggers.
Obviously wouldn't have any idea at this stage, was just curious.

spats · 20/10/2008 17:06

I have just updated the list as silly old me, i thought the # number was the number of months you had been trying. now realie its number of child you are ttc. So i am not #4 , no way, just #3, after that (if it ever happens) i will be retiring from this ttc lark - hopefully v soon as its getting bit annoying. other 2 ds were luckily in 1st month.

liahgen

It was cd 19, I've always ov'd quite late. Persona told me I ov'd around day 22 when ttc my DD, but my cycle has shortened by a few days since I've lost a lot of weight and I ov a wee bit earlier. thankfully luteal phase hasn't shortened, couldn't afford for it to as it's already pretty short. I use TCOYF software to monitor cycle, but I always know exactly when I've ov'd as I get cramps all day followed by a short sharp pain on one side that night.

Have added myaelf to list

Hi, just a quick update x

Used my clearblue digital tonight as DH couldn't wait and it's come up pregnant by 1-2 weeks so works ot I'm between 3-4 weeks pregnant

I know it's really early days but am so happy at the mo and praying this bean sticks

mickeylou · 20/10/2008 18:55

Hooray Funkybumps!! get yourself on that BFP list! x

HomeintheSun · 20/10/2008 19:46

Congrats funkybumps, I hope this is a very sticky bean.

woollyjo · 20/10/2008 19:52

Yeah Funkybumps! can you rub some of your baby dust on me please AF due on on Friday staying away from any type of chemist or supermarket until the middle of next week at the earliest (as long as AF doesn't arrive)...

ForcesSweetheart · 20/10/2008 19:56

Congrats funkybumps!!

I've been having mild cramps for the last hour or so, not sure what that could be down to as I'm only 2dpo.

Waiting2Exhale · 20/10/2008 19:59

congrats funkybumps thats fantastic news...great for the moral of the rest of us hoping to be in your position at the end of our cycles....

lillypie · 20/10/2008 20:15

liahgen I completely understand about not feeling finished,I am 43 and had my DD last year after a 21 year break.

I have so loved being a mummy again,I just want one more PLEASE

HomeintheSun · 20/10/2008 20:50

well I'm due to ov at some point this week, DH and I have been BD'ing over the weekend although with him being on nights it's been tricky, I had stomach cramp yesterday and sharp pain today so more BD'ing for the next week to cover all bases and then fingers crossed. My sister and her family are coming out to see us a week on wednesday so that should take my mind off some of the 2ww.
