The hut of gl/doom: ttc against the odds

PhoenixFromTheFlames · 10/02/2012 22:51

This is a safe haven for those ttc with difficult, with ?sub-fertility or sub-fertility labels. Where like minded people offer encouragement at times and commiserations at others.
I've decided the theme is Cocktail style: Flanagans. With a pink neon sign: Cocktails and dreams. Blinkity blink.
Newbies are welcome. Come share your tales of woe

Glad u got it all sorted.. I phoned the clinic after getting a really faint line on a test at lunch time (I know I know fmu) but my test was only delivered at lunch Smile they said it sounds positive (her exact words were any line is a line) and said to retest on Wednesday then if that came out the same then they want me to go for a scan to confirm... Still refusing to get happy about it as if AF comes or if it comes out neg on Wednesday I will be gutted so still waiting for me I suppose Smile

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 19/03/2012 14:17

Ok...tentative eek! Getting a line without fmu, however faint, is very positive. Gosh that's ironic isn't it? I'm very tentatively so happy for you Grin Wow I had a psychic dream Wink

pinkapples · 19/03/2012 14:21

Hehe thanks faith but not getting to chuffed yet well just see still no AF

delilahbelle · 19/03/2012 14:31

pink!!!! wow, so exciting :) :) fingers crossed for an even stronger darker line next time you test.

queen progress is being made it sounds like, at least you have a date to work towards now.

faith 3 weeks until you are home - hardly any time at all. I'm sure it will got quickly.

Anyway, I am home from work early, cold is seriously nasty, so I am slumped on the sofa with junk food and my laptop. The cats are glad to see me at least.

AllthatshewantsisanotherBBaby · 19/03/2012 15:59

pink i may be doing tentative jig! Im in the camp of a line is a line!

Queen thats goo news abt progress, any progress is good progress in my books!

faith i am ocd about mess / distuption etc so to me you are coping brill! 3 weeks will fly!

delialah boo for poorlyness! Hope you feel better soon!

Myself im about to give opks a go as Ii bought them ages ago, so any tips would be fab!
Oh pink GrinGrinGrin i have a good feeling!

pinkapples · 19/03/2012 16:22

Well so far I've showed my sister and mum the test and they both say that although it is light it is definately there.. Will test on Wednesday may have to buy some more tests as I only have one left

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 19/03/2012 16:57

I'd be obsessive buy a few different tests in your position. Superdrug ones have purple dye so apparently their bfps are more obvious. Good to know other eyes can see the line too! :)

queenrollo · 19/03/2012 17:36

when I had my fainter than faint positive it was fmu on an Early First Response. They are supposed to give a positive reading from 25mui (i think that is the measurement) and I know from the blood test I had that day that my blood HCG level was 23mui. So i'd recommend a FR.
Fingers crossed for you pink but I do understand why you are being cautious about it.

Have been out for a drive with DH and got a bit of shopping in. Cold here today so about to light the woodburner and get all cosy.

pinkapples · 19/03/2012 19:20

I've got one more clearblue and I have just bought 2 first responses I'll wait till Wednesday now tho use tomorrow to quietly think + thoughts then at least if it all goes wrong I will have had a day believing it Smile

AllthatshewantsisanotherBBaby · 20/03/2012 07:21

Pink i shall be thinking of u all day today and tomorrow, fingers firmly crossed!

The sun has run away today! Come back sunshine!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 20/03/2012 07:31

pink did you crack on poas today too? --I would have!-
It's sunny here in the shire of Lincoln but I am too ill to go anywhere to appreciate it!

pinkapples · 20/03/2012 08:02

Nope I'm having a day to stew will poas tomorrow morning and see what happens like I said I can quietly think it today in case it turns out wrong hehe Smile I'm feeling sick and tired all at the same time and was even nearly sick after my brew today but am ok now I suppose

Hope u all get better soon, thanks for the thoughts x

carrieonlaughing · 21/03/2012 07:01

Just thought I would have a look and see how you all are.
Congrats pink I don't think you need to test a line is a line you don't get one unless there are pregnancy hormones.

pinkapples · 21/03/2012 08:27

Well update one faint bfp at fmu and then a second bfp on 2nd mu after a trip to tescos for a clearblue digital ?? scan in 3 weeks the nurse said

LauARRRRRaPalmer · 21/03/2012 09:14

CONGRATULATIONS pink!!!

I know you don't know me - I'm usually over in BESHland , but I was lurking reading this Fred for the first time this morning and I am so so pleased that you got your much-deserved BFP! Have a fantastic day Smile

queenrollo · 21/03/2012 09:20

pink oh I'm welling up here. I'm so pleased for you!
I came straight here this morning to see if there was any news from you and I'm glad I did. This has set me up for the day x

pinkapples · 21/03/2012 09:48

Awww thanks ladies I still can't believe it myself Grin am mega happy but I won't be certain untill I have heard the heartbeat I have a scan at 7 weeks which is the 12th April

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 21/03/2012 11:33

That's wonderful news!! It's so ironic after you thought you'd missed it completely! Shock Well it's a definite bfp if you convinced a CBD.

Well I've come back to work stupid, stupid Faith I feel bloody awful :( don't think the antibiotics have worked..need to try for appt at docs at 12.

AllthatshewantsisanotherBBaby · 21/03/2012 18:15

pink yayyyyy! Woooop! So so so so happy for u! Absolutely grand news!

faith hope u feel better soon! Boo for work that what has kept me off thread all day, spent the day wondering what news pink would have!

Eeeek!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 21/03/2012 18:59

I've been admitted to hospital Shock they want to rule out appendicitis so I'm going to be in overnight til they can scan me. All seems a bit overdramatic but hey I'm here now!

delilahbelle · 21/03/2012 19:06

OMG - Faith I hope it's nothing serious. Still, you are in the best place. Get well soon x

pink congratulations again, so now it's fingers crossed for a smooth and easy 9 months :)

I am having a good(ish) day. Cold has pretty much gone, mortgage stuff making slow progress, and I have just heard of an ideal job coming up for me - not even advertised yet. So a nice covering letter and CV has been sent in, please keep fingers crossed for me. It's about a 15 min walk from my new house, and would be perfect.

AllthatshewantsisanotherBBaby · 21/03/2012 19:38

faith hope u are ok and out soon!
delilah fingers crossed for job!

I am trying to be happy happy as i know tomorrow will be tough attempting to stat busy... Thank goodness for work for once

queenrollo · 21/03/2012 20:07

faith oh blimey! hope you get a diagnosis and head home soon.

I'm feeling a bit 'meh'.....but i'm going for my massage tomorrow so hopefully will feel all lovely and relaxed for the weekend.

delilahbelle · 21/03/2012 21:27

I feel crampy and icky, I think AF is on her way. My last chance for a 2012 baby gone, even though I knew it was unlikely, we really did perfectly time the BD this month.

I am never going to stop this monthly grieving it seems :(

pinkapples · 21/03/2012 23:30

Ohhh queen a massage have fun Grin

Mortgage meh... Ours took ages too but it is so worth it when it's all done and your in your house!

Omg hospital!! Hope all is getting sorted let us know what happens
