Yay pez that is definitely a clear line so if your 3 days from otd that should get loads darker. Cautious congrats but that's looking promising xx

pickle162 · 08/04/2017 15:15

I TOTALLY see a line pez!!!!! Come on sticky bean!!!! Keeping everything crossed sweetie, it is so your time!!!!

CreatingADream · 08/04/2017 15:18

Oh, Pez, I see it too. I am so hoping this is your time!

Pickle That sucks about not getting paid. Love the "out in the sun" finger crossing photo!

Going to read back as I've started writing this and can only see a couple of posts but know there are more beforehand to catch up on.

cazinge · 08/04/2017 15:49

I agree pez - I see a line!!!!!Star

Pez82 · 08/04/2017 16:19

Still can't believe it - I really hope it's a sticky one
Great pic in the sun Pickle, Im going to do the same now

So I wasn't going completely crazy with my itchy nipple 😂😂

Bear1980 · 08/04/2017 16:27

Def a line pez fingers crossed it keeps getting darker Smile

Snorkmaiden85 · 08/04/2017 17:02

Oh my goodness I'm so behind with the thread! But glad to have looked at it today, to see your line pez! I hope it is your turn too, it's looking promising.

Sorry I've been awol, had an awful month of migraines after giving up caffeine, then felt too behind to catch up, sorry to have lost touch :(

Hoping everyone is doing well?

Everhopeful76 · 08/04/2017 17:06

So ladies have I just achieved a surge on a boots own brand opk? Am cd13, can't be sure as the other sticks are one step, the strongest line being this morning. Cb digi was flashing high y day but I d run out this morning so did another a while ago and was low fertility so I think the surge happened this morn. I don't envy the iui ladies having to do this regularmy. I seem to have a surge sometimes bi monthly othertimes just every 3 cycles
Really hope they ll let me do ivf starting at new cycle. Aaaah

Pez82 · 08/04/2017 17:12

Ever, I always get really dark lines on the Boots ones, they've become my favourite! (Hence why I peed on one this morning 😉)

Everhopeful76 · 08/04/2017 17:26

Haha pez they are my new favourite, I bet another one step one now won't b quite as strong

Hi snork sorry to hear about the migraines. Not good. Nice to see you back xxx

INeedNewShoes · 08/04/2017 17:49

Pez - that's looking promising! Smile Fingers crossed for a good line on your FRER tomorrow.

Ever - I don't think you're quite there with the OPK. The test line isn't quite as dark as the control line but it is so so close that the next one will most likely be positive.

witchmountain · 08/04/2017 18:20

Pez fab news! Hope this is it for you!

Pickle they are taking the piss! Especially how late they were! No more babysitting for them!

Cazinge good going! Fingers crossed for the next few days.

Snork good to have you back. You probably missed we're planning a meet up in London on the 23rd. PM me your. Umber if you want to come and I'll add you to our WhatsApp group.

Had a sunny few hours walking on the beach earlier, it's gorgeous weather.

Karendvm · 08/04/2017 18:52

So very far behind. Between the morning sickness, a developing cold and my spring allergies flaring up I've been in bed.

pez! I hope this is it for you!

cazinge seems like good news on the embryos.

pickle no more free babysitting! They have taken advantage of you.

Latenightreader · 08/04/2017 20:16

Oh Pez how exciting! Fingers tightly crossed. I love hearing when things work out for one of us - I gives me hope.

I'm still bleeding. Very very small amounts (as it has been for about five days - wonder if the progesterone is keeping things slow), but steady. I took a FRER yesterday and it showed nothing, but I'll know for certain on Monday. I was very weepy yesterday but feeling calmer and more resigned today. One day... The wedding was fantastic and I danced a lot!

Latenightreader · 08/04/2017 20:28

Just been to the loo and discovered my period started properly; the fat lady has definitely sung.

Munrowalker · 08/04/2017 20:31

@pez that looks good....fingers crossed for you! How exciting!!!
@pickle your friends are taking the piss! Coming back at 2.30am is ridiculous. Grr
Well I'm hoping Friday night not sleeping was a one off. Slept well last night so fingers crossed for the dreaded Sunday night sleep.

Munrowalker · 08/04/2017 20:35

PS me and the DH decided to have a cheeky weekend away to take our mind off the two week wait.
We went up north to a dog friendly B&b
Glorious beaches and hardly a sole in sight!

Oh late , I'm so sorry to read that, sending love.

CautionHormone · 08/04/2017 20:53

Pez!!!!!!!! That's amazing!! Well done you & your little bean!! Grin I'll have everything crossed that it's a sticky one, and that your FRER is even clearer tomorrow!!
You're making me wonder whether I should skip IUI and just go straight to IVF...

Snork good to have you back :) sorry to hear about the migraines. How are they now??

Late I'm sorry lovely.. that's a kick where you don't want it! Allow yourself time. Flowers

Karen sorry to hear you've been poorly too!! Take it easy Flowers

Munro that beach looks lovely... I wish I was by a beach right now with my dog, tessie! She'd love it!

Hello to anyone I've missed Grin

pickle162 · 08/04/2017 21:22

😔late that properly sucks!!!!

I've babysat for the twins for 10years now, it's not really a chore & does mean I have someone to return the favour. I don't usually get paid for looking after them and I did get taken to Morrisons for brekkie with the kids in the morning but as I now live 35 miles away not 4 they were gonna give me some petrol money!
Never mind, I am babysitting for another friend tonight and then just been invited to a birthday party for tomorrow-all which are this way so saves me too-ing and frowing but yes I'm not great at saying no.

pickle162 · 08/04/2017 21:25

Karen sorry about the poorly-ness but equally kinda yay for the morning sickness 😁

Munro looks stunning where you are. So pretty!!! Hope it provides food distraction

Pez82 · 08/04/2017 23:22

Late, I'm so sorry. I hope you don't feel I was being inconsiderate when sharing my news. I really didn't mean to rub this in. 💐
Take the time to grieve and be angry about it and hopefully you'll be able to think of the next step soon.

The whole ttc journey is atrocious but we all know it will be worth it in the end

Hugs to everyone for your messages

Karendvm · 08/04/2017 23:53

late I'm sorry sweetie. Such a disappointment. Take care of yourself. X

witchmountain · 08/04/2017 23:53

Late so sorry 😔 look after yourself.
