Okay, I'm back after having a snarf fest
and visiting with DH after he got home, and now my brain is free to see what's up with everyone.
(I just had a tab open from yesterday and clicked the ol' reply button at the top, and didn't see the exciting news until now!) Prepare for massive smiley abuse.

Wowsers, omg girls BFP this morning
still faint but camera picked it up and hubby could see it, im happy but nervous and cant quite believe it, eek
I will upload pic later
Wow, congratulations, Claire!!!
I know im now officially in the first trimester but im gonna stay on this thread if thats ok coz i would feel lost without it now i think and im intrigued about other peoples outcomes
Yay, glad you're sticking around!
It sounds weird just saying that im in the first trimester, i dont think ive actually relised whats going on altho one of the first things i said to hubby was 'oh no, now ive gotta give birth again!' thats the one thing that scares me as my 3rd was a horrid birth and ended up a crash c-section, if people wanna know more feel free to ask but i dont wanna freak anyone out thats ttc
another thought do i go to the doctor or book straight in with a nurse or midwife? shall i ring my surgery and ask? last time i went to the doc and he didnt really do anything, didnt do test coz he said home ones are reliable enough and just said book in with midwife at ? weeks (cant remember) and that was it, seemed a pointless visit really
Curiosity compels me to ask what happened with that 3rd birth. Maybe you could put it behind a spoiler cut for those who don't want to risk freaking themselves out.
And, hm, I think I'd ring surgery and ask. Can't believe the doc didn't do any kind test or exam or something, last time. Hmph!
Heres my bfp, its only light, cant see it aswell in the pic, please say u can all see it coz im now doubting whether there was a line now, im being silly, i cant get my head round it, im still gonna test every day to see it getting darker and book docs/nurse next week

I definitely see the line!
It's faint, but clear as day.
So exciting!

Hey girls,
How is everyone? Its a bit quiet on here this morning.
I'm feeling a bit low today but I think its because my 9 month old had me up from 12am-4am last night so I'm kinda sleep deprived. Just having a day at home today in my jamies.
I'm not feeling very hopeful for this months cycle, I know I'm only 5dpo but i've no symptoms and I know we're pretty much out because we only DTD the morning of my temp rise.
So pleased for you Claire....is hubby excited?
Xxx
Sorry your feeling kinda low today, Tizy!
Hang in there!
----
Congrats Claire!! Aaahhh great news!
Oh Tizy
you never know! Only time will tell. At least you know you Od and your cycles are alright. I still have no clue about mine! Im cd14 today, temp dropped to 35.97 this morning, lowest of the cycle yet. Opk was quite faint yesterday, so im going to do one soon and one later. Its a bummer not knowing my cycles. At least if i knew what they should be like then i would be left hanging! I hope its not another 16 dayer!
This thread seems to have good luck, all these bfps! Hope you ladies are goijg to stick around so u can keep us updated etc! (and also egg us on to get our bfps!)
im just back from toddlers with dd, she has just went down for her nap and oh is visiting his mums, and he will be back soon then is working 8-8 again tonight. So... Another quiet one for me! what are we all up to today? Xx
I know what you mean by it being a bummer not knowing your cycles. I just didn't keep track of mine and wished that I had when I started TTC. I didn't even keep track of AF properly on the calendar (I never actually marked it down), just knew that it came once a month around the same time and must have been regular enough that it never totally surprised me.
And yeah, I'm hoping the
good luck in this thread continues, and people stick around to keep us updated!
I know!!!
Just done an opk, its the same as it was a few days ago. Not faint but not really that dark, although it looks like it is possible the darkest Ive had yet. anyway, (TMI ALERT) when I went to the toilet and wiped I noticed alot of cm, so I checked and it is in abundance, sort of eggwhite, a little stretchy. OH is on his way back, so maybe we can get some BD in before dd wakes up from her nap just in case this is leading up to my big O (I wont get my hopes up!)
Here is a pic of my OPK (not as exciting as a BFP, I know! but hey, its exciting for me haha)

Deffo looks like it's ramping up! Good luck with BD tonight!
Ooh lovely claire!
NDtaber.. You never know, dont count yourself until she shows x
Thats oh left for work and dd just went into bed, so i have the rest of the nigt to myself! I might get a cheeky chinese as a treat! But first... Im off to do another opk.
Doed anyone know how much it affects opk results when you have alot to drink? I havent really had anything but im always worried in case if i have a drink it will make my test less accurate
Thanks xx
They say it could dilute the urine, but when I got my bfp opk I'd had a regular amount to drink and got a big ol bfp, so having a bit to drink won't necessarily do you in, I don't think. Probably guzzling down a big gulp right before wouldn't be a good idea, but one drink is probably okay.

It's not a +ve hpt or even opk but..... my referral letter came through the post today! I am literally so happy I could weep!
only two months to wait till I finally have some answers/help.
Is it acceptable to refuse to leave your consultants office until they prescribe clomid? This is my plan.
Glad you got your referral letter!
Hopefully they don't even fight you on the clomid (if you don't have a bfp by then).

BFN for me today 12 dpo expecting AF to arrive at the weekend, no more testing for me i'm so out this month! At least I get to per on my posh clearblue smiley ov kits this month, woo hoo!
Aw, sorry you got a bfn today. Wouldn't you test again if AF is late or doesn't come, though?
---
well AF arrived 1 hour after I wasted a perfectly good Frer. ordering some amazon cheapies to stop my habit of cb digital OPK and frer tests!
claire- your dh is so cute...POST THAT PIC!
Aw, bummer about AF!
<--Me kicking the red witch for you
Well wishes for next cycle!

My ticker is wrong now, AF still hasnt shown up. I was originally going to test tomorrow but I think I will wait until the 14th. My temps are on a downward pattern though so AF might be on her way.
no no test 2moz, going dare ya, u may be pleasantly suprised even if its a faint line, least then u have some idea, saying that 14th is only 2 days away, good luck, uve got more patience than me
Don't tempt me! Lol I will be using my last FRER so If I wait, it gives me a better chance of either seeing that
or AF showing up. I could save myself a trip to the store. If I have to try another cycle, I am ordering those cheapy ones off of amazon so I can poas to my hearts desire
That's what I did, ordered the Amazon cheapie HPTs.
Good luck testing when you test!

i just tested and bfn.. no line at all
im sooo confused right now
i feel like honestly crying
when i went to wipe i saw a little spotting not a lot i wiped and there was a little blood
and now its completely stopped
what do u guys think?? im i out our should i still trying testing tomorrow if af doesnt show ??
do u think i had implatation wrong ?? cuz i just had the same type of spotting i had a week ago ! im sooo confused someone type to me
what do u think that small blood was for ?? omg
so i just went to check and now its a brown discharge .. ugh maybe this isnt my month
Sorry to hear you got a BFN and confounding brown discharge, BlackBeauty!
I read that you can have spotting when your ovary switches over hormone production to the corpus luteum, so maybe the earlier spotting was that.
What dpo are you or how past due is AF?
If the discharge doesn't turn into AF, maybe test again tomorrow or in a day or two. Brown discharge is old blood. Some people do spot through out early PG, I read. Maybe you had a buildup of spotting, idk?
It isn't over till AF has definitely unpacked her bags.
