The BFP Before The 'Would Of Been' Due Date Thread - Any Joiners?

[girlinyork]

Last time I knew intuitively as soon as I had conceived. If I get my bfp this cycle I'll be surprised. And very happy. Very, very, very, happy

 

[xxxjessxxx]

I understand what you mean.. I have that 'knowing' feeling too.
However maybe for you this time it means a BFP and a sticky one too xx

 

[girlinyork]

Last year I knew I'd get pregnant in November long before it had come round. I have a good feeling about April Even if Jenny Renny does say different lol.

 

[xxxjessxxx]

Thats good to know then!! Roll on April!

 

[lomelly]

Yes I did, I found it last night and this am! I might make a video of it later and uploaded so you can tell me what you think? It was hard to find earlier, and moved around a lot!

Girlinyork, whether now or in April I'm rooting for your bfp!

How's everyone else doing? Any big news??

I have a question for all you ladies. I have been using Internet cheapies to detect ovulation and the RE said to get the Clearblue Easy because it's so accurate;however, he mentioned both a smiley face and reusable strips- which are from two different CB products (I think). SO should I get the CB fertility monitor which has reusable strips I can buy OR the CB ovulation predictors which doesn't have the option of being reusable( gives a smiley face)?

I was too cheap to get the monitor--the smiley OPK's worked great for me--They have 2 different quantities, a 7 pack or 20 pack--I always went with the 7 if you know approximately your normal Ov time that should be plenty for a cycle or two! ( I only used 2 out of my last box and got a BFP)

BBs sore today, just like last cycle when they were sore. On the sides near my armpits. I hate this. I had one intense cramp by my right ovary today, lasted about 10 seconds but that was it. It was strange though.

I am very irregular, but if I end up taking the clomid, then I am hoping I can pinpoint it better and want to get something more reliable .

Me: "Honey, does this look darker to you"
DH: "I don't know"...

 

[B&LsMom]

Can't go wrong with the Smiley--its either there or an empty circle LOL

I just ordered a pack of 7 for $14us dollars. Hopefully, i paid a reasonable price! I also bidded on a CBFM for $50 which comes with 20 strips- lets see if I get it... Come on eBay!!!

 

[xxxjessxxx]

Lomelly - that's great news! Yeah you should upload it
I've found mine yesterday so hard to find suddenly! Heartbeat is normally 150-160, although last two times its been 140-150? xx

Sam - sounds hopeful! xx

Kmae - men are useless at that sort of thing aren't they!!! Sorry I can't help you with the OPK scenario but hope you win the bidding xx

Jess babies heart rate drops from around 11/12 weeks. It's totally normal, I think it stays around that throughout the pregnancy now

Can I please join? My due date was 6th Sepetmber 2012. Sadly I had MMC diagnosed on 23rd February 2012, I then had medical management on the 26th February 2012. I am currently awaiting my first AF but we have been trying so not sure if it's going to turn up or not x

I used cheapy opks from the internet for months but had to get the more sensitive ones 20 miu to detect surge. My bfp cycle I was doing a trial for cbfm so had everything for free. I had allready bought one so I'm glad now I did not sell it. I really do rate them as i have a 27-33 day cycle.

Girlin its now April fingers crossed for that bfp.

Lomelly yeah for hb must be so reasurring. X

Welcome missmum. Really do hope you get your bfp before your due date. Would be strange if we were bump buddies though. X

 

[girlinyork]

no bfp for me. Looks like April will be the month I get knocked up instead

 

[debzie]

Girlin you have a lovely dip at 8 dpo so there is still time for that bfp my dear.

 

[lomelly]

That's a good deal for that CBFM, Kmae! Come on eBay!

welcome missmummy, I'm sorry to hear about your MMC, and hope you find support here. Odd question, but how did you find medical management? I did that also for my MMC and found it pretty awful at first..

girl, how long are your cycles normally? That dip at 8 DPO did look really good, but if not, I really hope april is it!!!

Jess (and everyone else), I uploaded my doppler video! I know it's silly but for some reason I keep thinking that heartbeat is me... even though I checked mine and it's only 70-80 bpm.. That sounds like an amazing heart rate Jess!! it varies for me too.. anywhere from 140 to a bit over 160!

My cycles are normally 32 days Miscarriage completely messed them up, grrrr. My luteal phase is 12 days though so AF is due on Tuesday. Soy isoflavones next cycle I think. See if I can bring my ovulation forward

 

[carebear1981]

Lomelly - that must be an amazing sound!!

Girlinyork- april will definitely be your month! FX for u!!

Kmae- sorry, I'm no help with ov kits never used em!

Welcome missmummymoo! So sorry to hear of ur mmc. Sending babydust and good vibes to u!

To update on me, my conversation with oh didn't go the way I wanted. Stupid rational jerk... Well not a jerk I guess. His argument to me was that we now get a second chance to make things better. We weren't trying at the time but it was a very welcome accident. We're saving for a house and should have a downpayment by the end of this year. He wants to wait till we have our own place. I can understand I guess. But he won't sway at all even when I said I feel the only way I'll feel better is to get pg again. He wants to go to counseling instead.

 

[Kmae]

Thanks Debzie for your opinion.

Missmummymoo, sorry for your loss. I hope your cycles get back to normal soon.

Girlinyork, my cycles have always been messed up- well since coming off bcp. My cycles are 35 days +. I'll let you know if soy makes a difference with ov for me.? I'll start using opks at cd 12 just in case- even though I have never ov earlier than cd26...
