Team GB Bumps - UK BFP's *30 BFP's*

[Eternity]

Had a peek at your chart too Laura, and you're still above your coverline, and a slight rise in temp from yesterday.
And as the other ladies said, if your spotting was IB, it's too soon to test!
FXed the witch keeps away!!

Cheers Hun.

Think I'm going to test sat/sun if no af by then

 

[laurac1988]

Hi ladies.

Have her thinking about this month. I think ov was definitely cr16, as is quite obviously biphasic, with my normal 9/10 day luteal phase that makes af late by two days.

Only thing I did different this month was take baby asprin. Did a bit of research and if anything that would bring AF forward as the lining would break down faster.

No sign of AF at the moment. Cervix is still waaaay high up and can't feel the opening, which is unusual for me. Cm is snotty.

When should I test again if no AF? I'm thinking Sunday?
Xx

 

[Satine]

Yeah give it another few days yet to make sure

 

[anniepie]

Laura, one of the things with "short" LP's like you and I have is the urge to test 'early'. While AF is late for you, it's still very early to get a pos HPT. Ladies with longer LP's will have an extra maybe 4 days on you and I by the time they're late (and still may get a BFN to start). So try and stay positive, and I agree- test again on Sunday

[Jo_Bean]

I agree with Anniepie. I had a shorter LP and always tested early because in a way, it was my only chance to test early. I was convinced that having a shorter LP meant that I would have to get a bfp at 10DPO or it wasn't going to happen.
I avoided testing altogether until 15DPO last cycle and that was when I got my bfp. So hold out as long as possible


EDIT: I realise I was also one of those urging you to test and now I'm saying wait I blame it on the baby brain and the fact that I've not poas for 3 weeks

 

[Cheska8]

Poor Laura, getting all this contradicting advice from us, one minute we're all screaming at her to test, the next we're all saying wait 4 days! Haha! Bless you Laura, tell us all to bugger off and do it whenever you feel comfortable! xxxx

 

[laurac1988]

Completely agree ladies. Will wait until Sunday which is 15dpo

 

[anniepie]

LOL Cheska, so true! I'm afraid I'm a sucker for testing early, but also know that if you do you have to expect negatives, and live with the mantra of "pregnant until proven otherwise"

wohoo, I'm going to start peeing on sticks today. First day of EWCM for this cycle today, so gonna start on my OPKs to keep me busy. I usually get a fairly long run of EWCM so not expecting O for maybe another 6 days or so

Happy peeing! X

 

[laurac1988]

happy stick peeing annie! I might pee on some OPKs to keep me occupied Got 50 IC OPKs in my bathroom!

i shall think of myself as pregnant until proven otherwise lol

Still no AF at present. I really hope she's not here by Sunday and Sunday's test is a BFP. I made an appt with the fertility specialist at my doctor's surgey... so it would be really great if I get to cancel it!

no signs of impending Af either. On the day she was due I kept getting the feeling she was comng (spotting didnt help!). but today am not cramping (except for gas - loooooovely!) and cervix is tightly shut. I always have a little bit of an oprning but it almost feels like it's clenching!

I just think... if there is a little bean in there it's a strong little thing to get me through when AF was meant to be due. If there is... I hope it clings on If there isn't...

 

[noodlebumxx]

awww I hope you have a strong little bean too. I had some pink spotting earlier.

 

[laurac1988]

Still no AF. Temp is low though - not quite at the coverline, but lower than it's been since ov.

 

[motherofboys]

If I'm not preg this month we have decided to go to NTNP until the end of the summer than take a break for a year. Hopefully by then my LPL will have naturally evened out and we shouldnt have too much trouble conceiving. My others were all with in a year of trying so I'm hoping by relaxing and letting my body have a bit more time I can get back to that level of fertility

 

[anniepie]

Laura, sorry to hear about the temp drop...keeping everything crossed for you- how you feeling?

Motherofboys- seems to be the way that when people stop trying, they fall it's like the little guys can't work under pressure.

AFM- OPK negative last night as expected, though a slight line which I wasn't expecting. No more EWCM yet today, but that sometimes happens to me- it's kinda like false starts. Apparently the patchy EWCM pattern can happen when you have ovarian cysts which I know I get (different from PCOS). And wonder if the OPKs follow that pattern- last cycle I had some early faint lines which then faded, then came back again and increased in intensity until I O'd. I'm expecting to be in for another long wait this cycle again

 

[laurac1988]

I'm not thinking too much of the temp drop, Annie. Found lots of pregnant charts on FF with low droopy temps. Still hopeful



Also, hopeful a long wait for an eggy means a nice strong eggy

 

[xlouloux]

Got a positive opk today which I wasn't expecting at all so lots of bding for me this weekend!

 

[anniepie]

Oooh good luck Loulou!

Just can not get out of this funk this month. I'm sick of waiting too, which isn't helping. Spent so long WTT, now it's been so long TTC, and each month I feel I have to wait so long for eggy to pop. sorry to moan...

 

[laurac1988]

wooooooo for positive OPK

 

[xlouloux]

Thank you, if I ovulate soon it will be the shortest cycle I've had in two years! We've been playing the new Olympic game maybe it will bring me some luck haha.
