8dp5dt today. This is when I struggle because theoretically I could start testing. I was going to book a beta for 10dp but the clinic said that was too early, but loads of ladies have that as their otd blood test date.
I'm away on retreat in a monastery atm so I have no access to sticks 😁 which is a good thing. Am I going to hold out til Sunday? I doubt it. Its 15 days post trigger now so I'm not concerned about that.
I always have the same problem though that I consistently go for a wee at 1am and 4am (ish) so I never have fmu!
It's been 3 months since I last did this shit. I'm not prepared at all for bad news 😔

I cracked tonight and poas. I can't believe I'm about to type this.... It was a BFP.

Tried to take a 10000 photos and it doesn't do it justice, my phone is shit. But on clearblue and frer it's a line at 9dp5dt.

I'm in shock and also slightly worried its trigger still. 16 days past trigger tho...

Is this real? I don't think it can be

The line has colour. It is faint absolutely. But DH can see it. Could it be trigger at 16dp?

@AliceAbsolum congrats -I’d be very doubtful thats still the trigger! So happy for you. Hopefully you see a darker line this morning!

Wesstywoo · 08/11/2019 07:26

@AliceAbsolum ahh congrats! Unlikely to be trigger as some clinics' OTD is 10dp5dt xx

Russkispy · 08/11/2019 10:10

@AliceAbsolum tentative congratulations! Hope lines are darker now?

@AliceAbsolum yes, I can see it! Keeping everything crossed for you! Smile

Pleaseletitbeme · 08/11/2019 17:48

Alice!!! What wonderful news!!!

I started norethisterone today. Going to have one last go.

Russkispy · 08/11/2019 17:52

@Pleaseletitbeme will be rooting for you! Hope you're ok as one can be after such shitty time! Is it a fresh or FET cycle?

Pleaseletitbeme · 08/11/2019 18:04

Hi Russkispy, whole thing- so hopefully will be fresh transfer.
Hope you are coping ok xxx

Russkispy · 08/11/2019 18:23

@Pleaseletitbeme I'm crossing everything for you!
I'm ok, just plodding along. Will feel much better once I know the plan which I haven't received yet.
Shittiest time of the year to deal with the losses and have to keep up appearances here and there. And I've got my little girl here and I don't want her to see or feel me sad. And I'm sorry about your loss Sad

Wesstywoo · 08/11/2019 20:09

@AliceAbsolum great line progression! 😍 so pleased for you

@Russkispy sorry your sad news has been confirmed, sending hugs and I hope you have your new plan soon.

@Pleaseletitbeme good luck with your cycle - I am starting norethisterone in a few days too.

Hope everyone else is ok xx

Viletta · 08/11/2019 21:20

@Russkispy so sorry about the sad news... I'll be cycling with you in January. Take time to recover. I'm getting a counselor I feel like I just need to unload it. Do you think it might help you too?

@Pleaseletitbeme great to see you! hopefully this cycle will be the one!!

@AliceAbsolum amazing news!! Hope it's all going smoothly from here!

Russkispy · 08/11/2019 21:48

@Viletta never had a cycle buddy. Hope it works for us! And everyone else!

@Viletta pleased to hear you're exploring counselling. Be sure to go to www.bacp.co.uk as there are a lot of unregulated weirdos out there x

@Twiglet2353 Not long now! Feeling half ready?

@Hopingforbabyd Were you in shock? I feel like it's not real, how can you allow any of it in when there's the risk of miscarriage?! I thought I'd be absolutely jumping around in joy. But I'm just sort of normal!

Hopingforbabyd · 09/11/2019 07:39

@AliceAbsolum I was in complete shock. It didn't sink in until I was 10 weeks and I just woke up feeling so in love. I spoke to the midwife about it as I was a bit concerned I felt that way and she said it was completely normal and she was sure the next time she saw me I'd feel different, my next appointment is Thursday and I sure do feel different 🥰 x
