Thanks ladies. It does just feel so so good to know we are on the same page at long last. When we were first together and even when we got married, he said he wanted three, but then as we had kids, and he realised he wasn't the father he wanted to be (and also when he realised how much time and effort [basically all
] kids take up), he said he was reluctant for the third. Through my passion for desperately wanting a third, I persuaded him, but it always felt so forced. This is such an amazing amazing weight off my shoulders.
Bee: It sounds like you're having a marvellous time! Sangrias on the beach sounds divine. Cannes and Nice are great and with the film festival, how exciting! Remember, AF and BFP signs can be the exact same, so it doesn't mean you're definitely out. I still have my fingers super crossed for you. Have an amazing time in France!
Sweetmama: Aching ovaries are a great sign ovulation is on its way. Get to the BDing!!
So I think I might be on the way to a real BFP *touch wood*. I'm very cautious and willing away today so it can be tomorrow so I can see... it's just that yesterday I took two FRERs. One with SMU that showed a faint line and one five hours later (holding all that time) that didn't show anything. So I assumed trigger was out of my system. Well, this morning I tested with FMU and got another faint line on an FRER and on a CB plus. I can't get pictures to work as my DSLR is downstairs and I just have my phone. I'd run and get it, but this morning is supposed to be my lie-in morning and my husband will frown if I show up looking for a camera
the phone doesn't really capture it, but it is the same darkness as yesterday with SMU. So what's going on? I'm wary to believe it's a real BFP, as there's a chance I suppose it could still be trigger, even though after a 5 hour hold there was nothing on the FRER yesterday afternoon. I'm 10dpo, so prime BFP territory and temp is still high... I may test again with SMU and if it's still there... then I may start to get excited. I'm really nervous ladies. I almost can't believe that I could finally get pregnant after all this and then actually manage to get past the first few days without having another chemical. I had the most vivid dreams this morning just before waking, intensely vivid. The last bit of this long string of dreams was having a BFP on a CB plus and on an FRER and struggling to take a picture of them to show you guys. I'm serious, that is what I dreamt
wow! The weird thing was that in the dream, the lines were really dark, but I still couldn't get a picture.
Edit: So I've done the best I can with my phone and tweaking and this is what I've got. The pictures aren't the best as the lines are very faint.

Just worth noting that I'm 12 days past trigger. Last cycle I had faint lines on 11 days past trigger, just like I did yesterday and then I had nothing on 12 days past trigger, the tests were completely blank... oh I am getting excited and I should really check myself. I'm just listening to my husband playing with the kids downstairs and it's making me swell with happiness that he even wants this last baby. Maybe we just needed everything to be in alignment and for him to come to terms with actually wanting this baby... Wow, I am so so scared right now. I so desperately want this to be it!
