TTC any which way DP CM BT OPK Grapefruit drinking ....

[C1NDY]

Hi everyone I have started a new thread... hope you like the new home, this is where it will all happen. (Cindy opens a bottle of champagne) Here's a drink to all and to our month ofthe BFP... .... baby dust all around ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Welcome WhatsforTea

Oooh - exciting Pezzina I hope that line gets stronger tomorrow

Good luck for the Christmas Day BD'ing Wanabe

I'm trying not to hold out too much hope but for 2 days running I've had waves of nausea in the morning, when tired after exercise at the gym and when hungry so I will test tomorrow, even if it is only to get the "what if" thoughts out of my system before Christmas Day

I have a rotten cold about to come out, so am feeling a bit spaced out and am coughing so much I've given myself a headache - need to rule out pregnancy before I hit the lemsip !!

Wasabi - what symptoms have you had apart from the waves of nausea ? I'm just clutching at straws really because apart from the odd twinge in my lower left abdomen and randomly aching nipples, I've had nothing.

Who else is testing in the morning - anyone ?

HOw early can we test... I am on DPO 7... I have been feeling really tired but am not sure if I am coming down with another cold. I have ordered pg and ovulation tests so may wait for them to arrive in the post....

Should you have loads of CM if you are pg as I only have a little... does that mean I am not pg or is everyone different.

I may do an early test on Monday, three days before I am due.

Pezzina My fingers and toes are crossed for you... How exciting, do another test tomorrow and see what happens - I really could not wait that long to see if I was or wasn't.. ... but it looks very positive

C1ndy - I had very little CM after my last BFP - just went dry as normal post ov - I think it is one of those where everyone can tell a different story ...

Yeah, who am I kidding - I don't think I'll be able to wait either so I shall do as you suggest Cindy and test tomorrow with the other Christmas Eve testers.

I think you should really wait until you are 12 dpo before you test - but having said that I don't know anyone who is that strong!

Jools - I definitely think you should test - like you say, you don't want to be thinking "what if" over Christmas. My fingers are crossed for you. I too haven't had much in the way of symptoms this month. I've tried not to pay too much attention to them this month because I think I had every symtom going last month with nothing to show for it. Ho hum...

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome

Just wanted to say congrats to the BFPs so far and wishing lots of luck to everyone who will be testing over Christmas.

I'm wishing the days away already for when the BD can start again in earnest, but guess I should just focus on relaxing over Christmas instead. DH has promised we will increase the BD efforts for next month! I OV'd about a week early last time which took me by surprise so we missed the boat a bit, grrrr, fickle hormones!

Anyway, Happy Christmas to everyone, only one more day at work, woohoo

Thanks Wanabe (staggers under the weight of the Green and Blacks) .

Welcome whatsfortea. A lot of ladies who have had mcs (including me) have gravitated towards this thread as everyone is really nice and supportive, so you're in safe hands here. Ooh, I'm getting all emotional, must be the sherry!

Pezzina - everything crossed for you, good luck with the next test.

Not sure if it is a bargain or not, but that ClearBlue digi with conception indicator is available in a twin pack in Superdrug for less than £15. Since I think the single ones are ten or eleven pounds each, this may be a good deal

I didn't get one - will use my Sainsbury's one tomorrow, then follow up with a conception indicator one if there is a need

omg pezzina - here's hoping!
And good luck jools

Hi Jinglejools, just read your story. I am in the same boat with 1st cycle after mc and in 2ww (still have 10 days to go...aaaaah).

My doctor told me that implantation bleeding can be like AF. Go test so you can put your doc on your case if you need progesterone or such, I'd say....good luck!

Morning everyone!! last day at work ... yah whooooo ! I used one of my pg test yesterday from Amazon and it was a tiny strip which really I couldn't work out anything... any way the test was negative... I was confused where the lines had to appear - the strip was really tiny.
I know its too early but I have the peeing bug!! Any way the control line worked out fine but I wasn't sure where the other line would appear on the strip. Has anyone used this type of testing strip??... I even peeled back the paper to see if there was a line underneath.. nope!!

I have finally read how to use pre-seed and will be using it next time. It sounds very good and as Villagemum recommended it I will use this along with my DP!!

Speak to you all soon
Cindy

Pezzina I will be looking out for your result

Thanks Comma Good to know there is hope but sorry to hear you are in the same situation

Well, I did test today but think I am in the same boat as Pezzina - a very very very faint line indeed came up within the time limit on a Sainsburys test - I'm not getting my hopes up just yet in case there is still residual post MC hormone left. I did the same type of test 3 weeks on Dec 2nd, three weeks after the MC and got a similarly faint line that I concluded was the end of the PG hormones so hopefully this is new, but I need to see the line getting stronger before I decide if this is a BFP.

Does anyone know how sensitive a Sainsburys test is ? I'm going to go and get a Clearblue Digi today, as when I got a BFP last time, I had a line so faint on a Boots test that I was really unsure but the Clearblue digi gave me a good result.

Will test again in the morning

Good luck to everyone else

Hi everyone,

Just checking in to wish you all a very merry xmas as going away until after the weekend today. Will probably check in after the scan next week and let you know how I get on.

Wasabi - what fab news for xmas!

Pezzina and Jools keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you.

Good luck to everyone else testing and to the others, enjoy the festive BD'ing.

Heaps of baby dust to you all, Boosie xx

Morning everyone.

Well, I did the test again and got a definite line - still faint but stronger then yesterday. I had thought I must be pregnant because my temperature had shot up this morning.

I'm so happy and so is my DH. So Jools - test again tomorrow - a faint line is still a line.

I'll be using my boots digital tomorrow just to confirm and see it in writing I hope this is a good omen for all the other testers. Lots of love to you all! xxx

wow woohooo wow wow wow - so pleased pezzinaxxx

Thanks Yellowflowers

Yay pezzina - that's fab! When I first tested I was the same. Faint line at 10DPO, then getting stronger every other day.

Have a bit of a dilemma - I already look totally pregnant. I'm sure most of it's bloating, but I didn't look like this till 4 months gone last time. De-camping to the in laws today, but may have to tell them sooner than next week, as I don't think all the festive feasting is going to help the situation! My parents are also arriving tonight and haven't seen me for three months, I'm sure mum will notice. Oh well, if they guess, they guess, at least I won't have to pour my wine down the loo!

Got impatient and did a second Sainsburys test at lunchtime but no hint of a line this time

Will try again tomorrow .... In the meantime, I am finding myself getting ridiculously tearful over crappy Xmas movies !

What fabulous new Pezzina! Jools, sorry to hear that. But I just know that you and I are on for for a sticky January BFP .

Right, sun is well and truly down, time to get the Chrimbo booze open. Good luck to anyone testing soon.

Merry Christmas one and all !

Jools, test again in 2 days, not tomorrow. It should definitely have increased by then.

Don't think that it would be residual still. Call your doc I would say, either you are pregnant and should be checked for levels or you are not and then he should do a scan to make sure everything that should be gone is gone if you still have a line.

Hu, I am all excited!

Comma I know you are right Whether I can wait that long though is another matter ! !!

Even if I do get a positive result tomorrow, I'll be worrying about residual HCG so won't start believing it till lines on a Sainsburys test (that I used to monitor post MC levels down to a very very very faint line) get darker anyway.

I'm still feeling intermittently nauseous and so tired I could lie down on the floor and go to sleep, but then this could be a bug

Any sane person would just put the tests away till after Xmas and drink sensibly just to be on the safe side !!

Its difficult to be sensible at a time like this Good luck Jools
