eek that sounds very forbidding. Have promised myself that I'm going to spend my time on the May bus doing all my homework, charting and possibly even CBFMing (though that looks well scary too).

UniMummy · 23/07/2010 17:02

Congratulations stuffed !!! Fantastic news, I can feel the positivity in the air! Hope veeryone has a lovely weekend... I already have plans to buy a proper test while Ds is at swimming

Yay for BFPs

Bye bye May bus ladies - I expect I'll be right there with you later this month.

So I went to the GP today and told her we'd been TTC for 8 months - she's arranged for me to have CD21 bloods done to check I'm ov-ing, hormone levels, thyroid etc. Hopefully they'll be normal and it will help me chill out a bit about it. She told me to relax and definitely not use OPKs as it can make you obsessed - I don't think she realises that obsession is my new middle name. I'm like Austin "Danger" Powers.

I'm also slightly losing my mind. Sorry for the brain dump, off to sort out DS's bath.

Tamashii · 23/07/2010 19:24

LOL @ UniMummy Hop on! ;D

oOOOh look at all these BFPs. Sorry to ask but what does TWP stand for? Probably very obvious but I'm braindead today.

Congratulations to you all

AF is due on Monday and I have been moody, snappy and paranoid today so I'm not holding out much hope of a BFP this month. We didn't exactly try very hard either so it really would be a fluke if it were to happen.

digitalgirl · 23/07/2010 23:23

HattyYellow yes, DS is nearly 2 and I am ttc#2. Taking a long old while though. Coming up to 12 months and I'm 2 mc's worse off, so hoping for third time lucky to happen really soon. How are your three? Am off for a week, but will look you up on here when I get back. X

Ps apologies to others for thread hijack.

Wombat33 · 24/07/2010 01:04

congrats on the BFPs stuffed and kirsty! Let's hope your baby dust rubs off on the rest of us!

Still sitting at the back of the bus here so looking forward to a glass of wine or few this weekend before the ttc actually starts.

Have a good weekend everyone and good luck with the poas matumble

matumble · 24/07/2010 06:00

hmm confused this morning, poas and got nothing, still early days though and have had this before, at the moment im taking my TWP(teeny weeny positive if i remember) as true.

everything ive ever read says a line is a line and a lack of a line doesnt mean you wont get one. i got a line, i saw it and dh (who has told me to calm down he cant see anything in the past) saw it too, its still there, yep im trying to convince myself im not imagining it but all the symptoms are here combined with a line, if its not i really want to know why im so tired and sick

matumble · 24/07/2010 07:11

nothing like a touch of morning sickness to help convince me! pretty confused, its earlier than I have ever had a positive though and they've always started off very pale, earliest positive was at 5+2 so I guess it would be hit and miss still. off out for the day today, suspect i will be raiding wilkinsons/boots/superdrug!

rosieposey · 24/07/2010 07:12

matumble this happened to me 9 months ago with an ebay cheapie, i got a really obvious line (the background stayed a little pink on the test though) and i didnt get another positive, i contacted the seller on ebay and he said i must not have used it properly (i did) but looking on the internet i found that the strips are notorious for evaps that look like positives. For that reason i wont use strips anymore and have been buying the more expensive ebay cheapies (the ones encased in plastic) and they are fine. I have still got the photos from the evap - i posted them on my profile here and got loads of congrats as everyone else could see it too but it really was just an evap line.

4 months ago i had a chemical pg, got two days of positives (and the odd neg as i tested about 6 times a day) then nothing - AF was 4 days late but came after all - i dont think this is whats happening to you though, see if you get another positive over the course of today, perhaps even try a more reliable test tomorrow morning like First Response as as you know your HCG should be increasing every two days so hopefully you should see something tomorrow - how long till AF is due - do you know?

Really really hope you get a nice clear positive soon though, i know how disappointing it is after the evap and chemical incidents. Good luck though will keep fingers crossed for you that you get a lovely clear BFP today or tomorrow.

Well im just the worst POAS'er ever - i really shouldnt have these things in the house, did one this morning and of course BFN, I only got the initial on the opk exactly a week ago so am only about 6dpo need to wait at least another 5/6 days (repeats mantra to self).

Well i can hear DS stirring in his cot so its time for a morning cuddle, hope everyone has a great Saturday!

ravenlocks · 24/07/2010 08:19

matumble this has also happened to me with my last pregnancy. I did a test on day period was due, after work, so not FMU. It was a Friday after our first month of trying so I really wasn't expecting a positive, I just wanted to check it was ok to get on the wine that night. There was a line def, faint but there. I did another test with FMU the next day and nada, BFN, not a tiny trace of a line! I tested again at about 5pm with a FR and got a BFFFFFP. The first 2 tests were boots own brand plastic ones.

My advice would be to test again tomorrow with FMU (if you can wait that long) or late this afteroon if you can't.

Tamashii · 24/07/2010 09:14

matumble hoping the line is stronger today. It is impossible not to test and test - especially with a bag full of cheapie sticks. I was like that last month but LP was sooooo short that it was all a waste of time.

CD21 and STILL on OPK so I doubt I will be on the bus much longer... Still hangin on to the bumper with a couple of others. Probs hangin onto bumper with tips of the fingers this month though.

I'm finding it amazing how I will cling onto the very last little shred of hope of ovulating each month only for it not to happen at all and AF comes along early. Siiiiiigh...

At least I get pissed have a half glass of wine if I have to get off the bus again this month!

Lib76 · 24/07/2010 09:55

Sorry in advance TMI alert! so i am cd 26 today and went to the loo and when i wiped had some brown staining...yuk sorry! could this be implantation or knowing my luck AF turning up way too early! cycles can be anything from 29 -37!

CharlottesClan · 24/07/2010 09:55

af here.

congrats to all the bfps! good to see

im trying not to get too obsessive, but my hands are straying to the ebay ovulation sticks. anyone use them and do they work?

Lib76 · 24/07/2010 09:58

Awh gutting charlotte fingers crossed for next time...now go and get that wine chilled for tonight!

PrincessBoo · 24/07/2010 09:59

Ah... teeny weeny positive - thanks Matumble, hope you get a nice dark line today

stuffedmk · 24/07/2010 11:47

matumble I tested again this morning and it was no darker...was hoping for it to be more obvious. I too am a bit early though so am hoping that my ebay cheapies will get darker over next few days. Yesterday, FMU was quite dilute for some reason so I drank as little as poss then retested in the afternoon and got slightly more convincing line....maybe your wee was too weak this morning?

ravenlocks · 24/07/2010 13:56

Lib76 sounds like that could be implantation bleeding to me. Although I have never had it, the timing is about right.

Fingers crossed!

Stop the bus, I want to get off!

I'm getting off the bus for a bit. Been having a hard time with DS lately, plus other problems with a relative's health and money/work worries. I can't cope with the idea of a pregnancy thrown into the mix at the mo. (Had very bad sickness with DS). I'm going to crack open the condoms, enjoy my summer, get DS into preschool and then think again in Sep/Oct.

Congratulations stuffed and wishing you all very happy shagging and quick BFPs.

Sidles off sheepishly....

Lib76 · 24/07/2010 15:58

yeh that's what im hoping raven but knowing my luck! will keep you posted!

Karstan · 24/07/2010 18:42

Oh, day 3 - this is the really boring part. Now I thought the 2ww was bad but at least you had a little bit of hope to cling to. Can't even practice SWI as feel all crampy and yuck. On top of all this, I couldn't buy any wine earlier because i didn't have any ID

Off to sulk
