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

[Lisaloo82]

Lis,

How are you holding up on the not testing until tomorrow? Your dinner and after dinner snacks sound amazing! Like Jo said, hope you won't be able to have that again for a while (in the nicest possible way!!)

And congrats to your friend, such a lovely gesture naming the baby after her mum.

How is everyone this Saturday? Anyone got any exciting plans for the long weekend?

Pah! It went out the window as soon as hubby left. Poas started yesterday 7dpo wtf!!?? Obvs bfn yest and today. I so want to see two lines this month! I'm starting to loose faith! Boo hoo x

Glad u enjoyed your night out huni x

I'd go for it MrsS. I love mussels. The only reason they say not to eat certain foods is because of higher risk of food poisoning from those foods isn't it. Ie runny eggs could give u salmonella. It's not the food as such that is what's bad it's IF you were to get food poisoning while preggers it can be real bad for baby. At least I'm pretty sure that's the reason. X

 

[Lisaloo82]

Steph how was the testing this am? Xx

Edit sorry Steph just seen ur posts in jo's journal x

It's still really early and you're unlikely to see anything yet so don't lose hope, I saw the faintest of faint lines 10dpo so you might not see anything till Mon or Tues, I'm still really hopeful for you, it would be a perfect story if you get it with hubby landing back right in time!

Love that you're as crazy about peeing on a stick as me, you're my poas kindred spirit

well cd 18 for me and still no smiley face on opk?? usually bang on cd16

 

[anniepie]

Hi Ladies So, I've got an appointment later today with our GP (I booked with one who specialises in Family Planning) to chat about the fact we've been TTC for over a year now. Feeling kinda nervous, but good to be taking steps

Jellyfish, I'm sure your OPK will turn positive in the next day or so-it's not unusual to have it shift days, even if you're usually so regular. I'm usually around cd20 for O, but have been known to be as early as 16, and as late as 28. Will you try again this evening? I definitely get better lines on OPKs in the afternoon/evening. Good luck!

Lisa, any news?

 

[jellyfish24]

Hi anniepie, I will try again this evening and until I get a + if I can bare it as we are doing smep at so waiting to bd 3 days in a row after the positive opk. I may have missed it? I did test every day at 5pm from day 12 and then twice a day from day 16.

Hope your appointment goes ok? we have been npnt for 6 months before ttc properly so it feels like its been forever, its a really good thing to get the courage to see someone. I think we would do the same.

 

[Cheska8]

Good luck anniepie, make sure you ask all the questions you've got so that you come away armed with information. x

 

[ttcbambino#1]

Jelly -hope you get your smiley face soon, as anniepie said it's normal to have different O dates some cycles, GL!

Good luck Annie at the gp, it's such a positive, and scary, step, but I hope that it brings you the answers you need.

Lisaloo, temps still above coverline, are you testing???

 

[anniepie]

It is frustrating trying to do SMEP when eggy doesn't show. I've tried the last two cycles, and it has just been frustrating. Last cycle, I got almost positives on my OPK really early (for me), and they hung around for about 5 days. My temps were really ambiguous and in the end, I don't think eggy actually showed her face at all

I think I'm going to write down a list of points/questions before I see the doc later- I tend to get a bit nervous in these situations, and then things just go out of my mind

 

[Lisaloo82]

Bfn this morn 11dpo. I'm being strict with myself this cycle. I wait the 5 mins. Look at the test. If not line straight in bin. I want to see a clear line even if it's faint but no squinting and tilting in the light. Had so many evaps last cycle doing that. It just disappoints.

Only symptom is quite sore boobs. I didnt have this last 2 cycles. It only started last night. Feel a bit achy too. That's it x

Annie hope ur appointment goes well. Don't be frightened to ask questions and explanations. I wrote it all down before I went and it makes it much easier. I wrote myself I little timeline of what had happened the last 6-12 mOnths and just showed him. U forget so much when ur actually sat in front of them. It's defo a step in the right direction. It's could be something really simple they can help with. A little prescription and u could get ur bfp next cycle xx

 

[Cheska8]

You're doing really well Lis, good plan with the 5 mins then in the bin. How's Alfie been with DH away this time?

AFM I'm still getting a BFP, it's been 18 days since the d&c and getting rather frustrated now. P*ss off you stupid line so I can try and get a real one!!!

 

[Lisaloo82]

He's been a bit teary but he's always like then when he 1st goes. It's gutting he's not back for his 1st day back at school. He alway misses important things it's crap! And on top of that I thought I had 3 weeks with him as that's what he said then he said he goes back to work 16-18th or something and I was like uh babe that's not 3 weeks that's not even 2! Urrgh so get maybe 10days then wont see him til nov if I'm lucky

U line is looking quite faint now. Think how quick it goes from nothing to that line then darker again. So just think it in reverse order. It's not far away now x

 

[Cheska8]

Aww that's a shame he's missing that, it must upset him that he misses out too I guess. How long will he stay in the forces? Does he really like it? I guess it's probably hard to get accustomed to a "normal" job after being in the army. At least it's not too long will you get to go to Cyprus with him. Will that mean you live together all the time then or will he still be away quite a bit?

 

[anniepie]

Lisa, I don't know how you ladies do it with husbands in the force. I've so much admiration for the men and women in the forces, but also their families

Cheska, hope that line goes soon...how frustrating for it to still be hanging around. Did your doc suggest how long it could last for?

 

[Cheska8]

The docs said it should be gone by 2 weeks, so I'm thinking if it's still there on Friday (3 weeks) I'll go back to see the GP. It seems like it'll totally vanish as it gets a little bit lighter each day, but it's taking a lot longer than I expected. It's just really annoying because I feel I can't truly move on until it's gone. At this rate if I am lucky enough to get pregnant I'll need to be induced at the end because my body obviously really likes feeling pregnant!!

 

[anniepie]

yes it obviously does! Hopefully it'll remember than next time

I think it would be a good idea to go get checked if you've not got your blank by Friday. Unfortunately it can happen that not everything is removed in a D&C, so will be important that's not why you're still getting positives.

 

[Lisaloo82]

We are moving out after Xmas so will see him much more. He will still be away on exercise and possible afghan or even Syria the way that's going! But we will get to have a bit more of a normal family life, tea around the table together and him being able to do a school run occasionally. Wen he's not away working its a good life out there. I loves it last time. Excited to go back wish the time would hurry up and pass xx

I'm not in this month, but still getting my fertility tests done. Had day 21 bloods today (even though it's day 23 - stupid bank holiday) and need to go back tomorrow for day 24 bloods. Them more next Monday for day 28 bloods even though it will be day 29... stupid weekend.

She was very gentle. Didn't butcher me today like last time and I didn't faint. Woohoo!

They're taking so much blood, I'm worried I will be a shrivelled wreck by the time NYC happens - I won't have any blood left.

Quite sad that we're not trying this month... due to ov in three days... and have some FANTASTIC cm! lol

 

[Lisaloo82]

Hey lau glad your having tests done. I ha day 21 done Friday just waiting for the results now. I had them done last cycle too but last cycle was only 24 days so the test was done at totally the wrong time. I wish they'd explained this to me before. Why r they doing day 21 now when uve not ovulated yet? I may have this completely wrong but my understanding is that day 21 needs to be done 7dpo which is when ur progesterone levels peak. So the so called day 21 name isn't always cd21 for some people. I got an abnormal result last cycle an it upset me cos thought they was something wrong when really there wasn't they jut didn't explain what the test was for.

I hope that doesn't sound negative huni. I really dont mean it to sound um.. Don't even know the word ... Know it all??... Just don't want u getting down if u get an abnormal result from it x
