I've got my anti-witch spray!

[giraffes]

Doodah - sorry to hear about the BFN, glad OH was so supportive, fingers crossed you'll have your November baby

Linz - hahaha, the chances of me being preggers are so small it would be some sort of miracle! I've had no EWCM at all this cycle, so I'm assuming it's another anovulatory one after the 3 week long period of fun at the start of this cycle. I didn't bother with OPKs this month as I was just waiting it out for the HSG.

Wishin - my cycles are normally 26-28 days, but I've had a couple of 42 day ones before, so this is the new record.

I was driving up the motorway last night and had to undo my bra because boobs were so sore, I kept thinking I hope I'm not in a crash - I would hate for the paramedics to have to ask why my bra wasn't done up!! Definitely a sign I'm going crazy...

 

[wishnhoping]

LMAO Giraffes- I totally just pictured how that scene would play out with the paramedics...thanks needed that chuckle....are u SURE you couldnt be preggers? Can you test? Did you BD at all this month? lol there is always a chance ? Either way hope either ur preggo or af shows up so you cna get along with your hsg. ps- i dont know that ewcm is a mandatory thing...right? no? maybe? ok....

Doodah- Im sorry hon but remember you are not out until the witch shows...and stats (correct me if im wrong linz ) show that most women dont show positive until at least 13dpo! Keep hope alive!

 

[wishnhoping]

Linz- I checked with him and stepson wont be coming over today so I told him im getting home from work and hes bding! he said ok...so we will see. Once I get my positive OPK Ill let you know which days I bded and you can tell me what my chances are of catching the eggy ok? cause we know I do not understand chance and percentages too well...it gives me a headache just trying to figure it out lol

 

[giraffes]

Wishin - have fun - hope he's cooperative when he gets in

We have BD, but as I wasn't OPK-ing, it's just been when we've been in the mood and for fun rather than to make a baby, so if I have o'd I'd have been super surprised if we caught it!!

 

[linz143]

Wishn - you got it!

And did someone request statistics on HPTs and BFPs? Heeeeere you go!

Average Day Past Ovulation (DPO) for the first positive pregnancy test: 13.6 DPO
Average DPO for the first "false" negative test result: 10.3 DPO
Percentage of pregnancy charts with a positive test at 10 DPO: 10%
Percentage of pregnancy charts which show negative results before a positive result: 17%
Average time between the expected period and the first positive pregnancy test: 0.5 days before the expected period.
Percentage of negative test results taken three days or more before the expected period day on non pregnant charts: 40.7%

lol thanks Linz!

girraffes- Have you tested at all this month?? I swear Im not trying to get your hopes up I just wonder if its a possibility. I have started tracking moods more during my cycles to see if there is a pattern during my pre ovulation days and dpo..and one thing I have picked up on that I never realized is that I tend to get uhm...tmi alert...horny about 2-3 days before I ovulate. If you and DH were just doing it when you felt like it maybe one of those times you did it when you were feeling extra frisky was a sign that ovulation was on its way...I also never ever noticed O pains prior to ttc so there is a CHANCE you could have got your timing right and not had a clue.

 

[linz143]

Agree with Wishn. I notice that I start getting "in the mood" way more often in the few days before ov, as well!

Giraffes, I would be testing just to make sure, but then again, you can always wait and if in a few months you notice AF is still not here and you've gained some weight, you can always test then!

 

[wishnhoping]

LMAO @ "you can always wait and if in a few months you notice AF is still not here and you've gained some weight, you can always test then! "


Someone in another thread I follow was waiting to get something done too with the FS, it wasnt hsg..iui or something? The thing Firsttimer had done (gosh i hope they arent hte same thing or ill sound stupid) but anyways she was on cd62 waiting on af to come and like myself she was a POASholic and even though she didnt think she had a shot of being pregnant decided to test just to cure her POAS fix and lo and behold...BFP!!!!

LOL sorry I love those little stories when girls I know have waited and struggled so long

 

[giraffes]

LMAO at you both! You've convinced me to test, so I'll let you know what I get in the morning (good job I still have a stash ) I'm sure it'll be a BFN, but if not then I'll fall over in shock, and then post you a picture!

Wishin - just so you know and can impress all your friends with details of graphic OB/GYN procedures... IUI is where they stick a catheter into your uterus and fire your OH sperm straight into it. HSG is where they stick a catheter into you and fire dye that can be seen on an xray so they can work out if your tubes are blocked or if your uterus is a funny shape! So not the same thing at all, unless you want your dye sperm shaped!!

Omg I love you ladies. U all make ttc a nicer place! I always seem to lol at our post's and not only do u all cheer me up but u give me hope and u keep me going. So from me to all of you a huge and heartfelt thank you x x x x x

 

[wishnhoping]

I love u girls! Couldnt have asked for better people to wait it out with! gonna go look up ttc jokes.... Might as well pass the time laughing right?


Ps- where is Hailey??!

 

[nats77]

Linz - I probably will test on v day but in the past I've never got a Bfp untill day af is due. Really don't know what to think, sort of feel like I got sore bbs again and seem to be weeing a lot and having lots of strange dreams about swimming pools? But this wouldn't b the first time I've convinced myself of symptoms! Lol how r u feeling? X

 

[giraffes]

Ahem, so Linz and Wishin - you rock more than you could ever possibly imagine. Tested this morning and the test line came up before the control line!!!!!!

I'm shaking with shock, and have rushed on here to show you all!! I can't tell hubby till this evening so I have all day to plan how I'm going to tell him. I can't believe we've been so lucky after being told we'd almost certainly need IVF.

Sorry the photos a bit rubbish, but I wanted to share ASAP!!!!!!!!

Love you all, G xxxx

 

[nats77]

Wow giraffes I am so happy for you that's amazing news! I been checking all morning just to see the outcome! Its great I'm actually going to ring my oh and tell him, is that weird ? Congrats x x

 

[giraffes]

Thanks Nats, I still can't believe it! I just called my consultant's secretary to book an appointment and she said "what made you take the test", well some friends of mine convinced me!!

I love that you're telling OH

 

[leia37]

OMG giraffes, huge congratulations, i am so excited for you. your message was almost as good as seeing my bfp. I cant believe it - you must be so many emotions. YAY. Whoop, Whoop.

 

[gemmy]

[giraffes]

Nats - please say thank you to your mum!

And thank you Leia and Gemmy I still can't believe it!

I've just been to Tesco to buy a digi and it gave me Pregnant 3+ weeks since conception so I think I must be 5 - 6 weeks along. I also bought the things I needed for my plan to tell hubby. I've bought a card with a teddy that says "Hi" and a babygro, and I'm going to write him a card from baby saying Hello Daddy, please can you clear your diary for October because I want to spend lots of time with you!

I've got a hospital appointment on monday so they can decide if I need to be started on bloodthinners and when my first scan will be (I think I have one a week so you can look forward to lots of pictures!!)

Thank you all so much for your support, I never thought I'd get to be the one posting pictures of my BFP so don't give up, you will get there too (and hopefully soon so we can make a bump journey together too!

G xxx
