He he, I am completely in shock and have looked at the tests continually on and off to make sure that I am right....and I am they are def there..... Yay. I just hope it sticks.
I have AF like cramps at the moment, but FF says cramps at this stage are reported by 29% of preg charts, so I guess it is normal!!! wooo hoo. glad to be in the same BB group as you guys!!!!! I wont move ova yet tho...
i was convinced AF was coming with the cramps i was having so must be normal - i keep looking at mine too and still cant believe it!
Congrats girls, Reet, mum22 and Kell on BFP sendng you heaps of stickyvibes
I have been reading just haven't been posting much.....have come down with a severe case of tonsilitis - the week of my birthday!! How exciting for me so basically have spent the last 2 days sleeping!!
Hi to everyone and sending you heaps of BFP vibes - I'll even give my lil belly a rub for you all!!
Funny as Kell, it is just hilarious the things we have to put up with analyse and look at to confirm we are BFP.... he he. I think I feel the urge to POAS coming on this afternoon.... ;) I would have to go and buy more tho....what a waste of money... :( so I really shouldn't. I have one which isnt an early one left so I will keep that for in a few days time... I wont be admitting my addiction to POAS to DH
all - what are the best early PG tests to use??
Possum magic - good luck !!!
Well i went and bought a digital one this arvo lol just so i could see the p word lol - DP would die if he knew they are 10 bucks a pop :o
Off for blood tests in the morning FX my levels are okay
GlenGlen i like first response - i trust them and they always seem to give me the first BFP. i used a cyrstal clear with the blue lines but i didnt like it and i hated the cheapo internet ones they seem like duds to me
clairesmummy - Thanks hun, I'll keep you all posted on how the scan goes. If you O'ed yesterday then you're in with as good a shot as anybody, judging by your bd timing. Good luck!
Glenglen - It's ok to be teary and manic, it's all part of the process. It doesn't matter how early it was, a loss is a loss. Glad you liked my idea, too. I'm happy to have helped in any small way. I personally avoided testing before about 11dpo because I didn't want to waste money on seeing only one line. That's just me though. And I like the First Response Early Result (FRER) tests the best.
Damprye - It's always good to hear from you, and how else would we know what's going on with you if you didn't throw in a bit of me-ness? Or should I say you-ness. Hehe... I hope the cramps ease up for you!
Kellie - I hope your DD is ok! And that you get to go and have some bt's done so you can relax a little more. :)
Possum - Great news!!! Hopefully this is the end of all this horribleness and you can start to move forwards a little. Yay for no bleeding!
Mum22 - CONGRATULATIONS! I too had a weird dream the night before I got my BFP. I dreamt I took a test, but woke up before I got to see the result. So I POAS when I got up, and helloooooo two little pink lines. :) I knew my good feeling about you this month was right! Let us know how your re-test goes.
Iona - Hi, hun! I hope your tonsilitis goes away quicksmart! I'm lucky, I had mine taken out when I was a kid, so I can't get it anymore, but man, I know how much it sucks. :( Happy birthday for this week!
AFM, nothing new to report. 3 more days of work to go. Argh! A little bit of slight crampiness around my hip area again, seems like a stretchy kind of feeling, so I'm just going to be positive and assume (as usual) it's bubby making room in there.
Take care, ladies! Who's going to be the next BFP?
wow hearing your excitement about seeing a positive pg test (especially the digital ones - they're the best!!) reminds me what i'm working towards... and that it will be exciting when it happens.
i want a BFP this month !!!!! here's hoping....
talking to you ladies and hearing your stories (happy and sad) has made me feel so much better already so THANKYOU for your kindness and generosity and understanding.
:D
Good evening all you lovely ladies I hope everybody in here is well.
Kell- How's your DD going I hope she is getting better and all is ok with her.
Possum- So glad to hear you bleeding has stopped I hope it stays away from you for awhile now.
Mum22- Sounds like a BFP to me can't wait for those lines to get darker for you, FX darl.
Iona- Nothing worse than bad tonsils I still get it from time to time and it's horrible DR told me they would only take mine out if they become life threatening. I can't bear being sick it makes me feel like I'm a burden. Hope you are feeling better soon honey is great for sore tonsils have a spoon full and just suck on it slowly.
Forshelby- The big count down has begun until you are a free incubator, woohoo you will be able to go shopping now when ever you feel like it. And so will start a new chapter of your life, so excited for you.
AFM- Well I'm pretty sure I o'd the other day like I said but having huge problems with my temp chart I haven't had a rise in my temp as yet I'm just flat lining through it. I always have a rise...hmmmmm really don't understand whats going on with that. The CM I have now is a white creamy substance and not a fertile looking one at all. Just doing the whole waiting to see thing now, impatience is a virtue...lol...:wall: I see some of you lovely ladies in here have had some vivid dreams about POAS. Well if yahs don't mind a bit of me-ness can I please tell yahs about the dream I had 3 nights ago and please don't think I'm a total nutter when you read this...lol....
I lost my very best of best friends 17 years ago now and every so often I have a dream we are together again driving in her car and just having a great time like we used to but at the end of the dream i had the other night she handed a baby over to me. It was a really weird dream and I have no idea what it means and I just can't seem to shake the images form my head.
Clariesmummy- I hope the dream means a BFP coming your way.
Glenglen- This does seem to be a pretty positive month lol.
ForShelby- haha yeah a bit of me-ness isn't a bad thing but I never seem to be able to do persies these days.
Kellie- So did you get to see the P word ;) or are you waiting till the morning LOL
Mum22- It is never a waste, never.
Iona- naughty tonsilitits, go away I tells it :(
Possum- Woohoo, I hope it stays clear... for a whole nine months ;)
AFM- I just got from the docs and am now REALLY hoping that O is late and that I havn't missed my chance. I know I was saying I want to get my health under control first.... but I got a clean bill of health LOL and my doc said that going off of my ultra sound, if I DTD at the right time I have a high chance of conception this month... I'm now on cd17 and I have been Oing between cd11 and 13 for my last few cycles (although still not sure about the one that I may have Od on cd21 ;)) and only just managed to get a BD in last night so probably too late but FX I'm running late or that by DTD on cd1 that I somehow managed to keep the spermies alive and travelling lol. Wishful thinking I know but I did get UTD with DS by DTD cd3 lol.
I do still want to lose the rest of the weight but that is for me now, not for my health :D
Glenglen - So glad to see you're feeling a little better. These ladies are so understanding and thoughtful, and it's wonderful to see a lift in your spirits. You're where you belong now :)
Clairesmummy - Yay for the next phase of my life :) I don't know about going shopping whenever I feel like it though, lol..... I'm just grateful to have DP supporting me, I couldn't bear to ask for money to go shopping. I'm still adjusting to the idea of being a 'kept woman', I think. I guess window shopping isn't out of the question, though! I know what your dream means, too. You're going to have a baby! lol.. seriously though, it doesn't sound weird at all to me. Perhaps your friend is trying to tell you something.
Wouldn't it be funny if everyone got a BFP this month? LOL think of all the belly buddies ;)
Hello Ladies
Welcome Glenglen... I am really sorry about your loss. Hopefully it won't be long until you are holding a little bubba in your arms. I use the internet cheapies (about $14 inc postage for 40 tests) and if it looks like a hint of a line i will buy a FRER.
Forshelby, I stopped work at 14 weeks PG with DS. I hated the feeling that i was bludging off DH (and still do!).. would love to do something from home but what!? I wish i had of done hairdressing or something that i could do from home.. ah well, one day!
Damprye, Fingers crossed this is your month! And yes it would be funny if everyone was in the same BB group... at least there is no 'awkwardness' while we get to know eachother!
Claire'smummy, interesting dream! It sure does sound like you are going to be given a gift..... BFP!!!??
Possum, good to hear the bleeding has stopped! After my last m/c i had a d&c then about three days later had a MASSIVE bleed and they discovered that i had 'retained product' even after the d&c!!! Luckily my body managed to get rid of it on it's own without needing another d&c but i was SO OVER seeing blood and so happy when it finally stopped and i could move on... good luck to you x
Mum22, Congratulations!! I POAS heaps when i am PG too! You never get tired of seeing the two lines instead of the one!!
Kellbell, FX you have good strong levels! I don't like the Crystal Clear ones either... they are the only ones i've ever had evap lines with.
Hello to everyone else!
I had my appointment with the Gynie today (testing for recurrent miscarriage) and all went well (i think!). All my blood tests came back normal, except i had to have an extra one today too, but if that comes back normal than i guess i was just unlucky! He wants me to see my GP the minute i get my next BFP for extra monitoring so that's a positive... I did POAS (FRER) this morning and got a BFN, i am still not due for AF til Friday but i think if i was PG i would have got a BFP by now... what do you ladies think? I could have sworn i was having some symptoms but i know how easy it is to imagine things!!
Have a lovely evening ladies!
Kym x
Hello everyone!
Clairesmummy- Ooohh i hope u caught that eggy! Dont u hate it when ur body isnt telling u what its doing tho. Will u be testing early or wait it out??
Glenglen- Glad ur feeling a bit happier :) i only ever use FR hpts.. it gave me a clear bfp 9-10dpo so u cant go wrong with them!
Damprye- Hope u caught that eggy. If not then i really hope next month will be ur month.. especially now that ur fighting fit and healthy!
Kellbell- I think im going to be the same as u.. keep buying tests just to see the positive come up! :) Good luck with bts tomoro.. are u just checking hcg levels? or progesterone as well?
Forshelby- Yay for only having 3 days of work left! Are u really looking forward to getting out of there now???! And dont feel like ur using dps money if u want to buy something! just remember u have an extremely hard job as well! ofcourse dont waste money on really unnecessary things but im sure ur dp wont mind if u want to occasionally buy a new top or something! I do get what u mean tho.. but just do little extra things like wash dps car or bake yummy cakes for him etc. so he will really appreciate the fact ur at home all day! (oooh i want to be a stay at home pg lady!!) Dh and I have shared money since day 1 so im kinda glad it wont feel like im taking all of his.. we have the one bank account so he wont even know when i take money out!! :)
Mum22- Ohhhh how exciting! So are u really going to wait til sat to do another test or will u continue testing each morning?? ;) i reckon stick with FR's.. they gave me a clear line at 9-10 dpo. If u do continue to test i hope that line gets darker for u! And if it takes a little while to darken up i will give u all the great advice and words of wisdom that u girls gave me when i was freaking! :) Good luck xx oh and maybe see u in the bb group soon!!
Iona- Oh u poor thing! :( this baby sure is running u down! have u actually felt well at all in the last couple months?! do u have m/s on top of ur tonsilitus now?? I hope ur managing to get a lot of rest.
Possum- Woohoo!!!! That is excellent!! now lets hope u O in a couple weeks! are u going to wait a cycle or 2 to get back into it or just start trying straight away??
I cant go back any further so that will have to do.. i hope i havent missed anyone or anything!
Oh actually Bons! Where are u??! How are u going?? have u had any bts done yet??
AFM- Well i had my bt yesterday and got the results today.. my hcg level is 152. My midwife said thats good considering it is so early still. She said to wait til thurs to get the 2nd one done so ill find out that result on friday then i will know how things are really going! Hopefully great! :)
I have made a ticker.. i think it will do me good to see it everyday when i log on! My last af was 17th july so according to that i shld be 4 wks and 3 days but since i Oed on about day 17-18 im only just on 4 weeks now.. i decided to make my ticker based on that.. i hate losing those 3 days but i think i wld much rather that then go to scans and be told im behind or get bts done and my levels not be perfect for where i am.
Im not feeling any different, but it is still very early and my levels arent that high yet.. i cant wait for the m/s to kick in!! Actually i am feeling a little constipated.. it feels like im always going to the toilet to push out one little kangaroo pebble!! haha sorry TMI!
Bring on 3 weeks time when i can see this little thing growing inside me!! :)
Dont give up stoked i didn't get my BFP till 4 days after AF was due last week. I thought i was out as thought it would have shown up earlier but it just took awhile (too long for my liking but hey it came). Its never over till AF is here ;)
How funny would that be we would take over the belly buddy group!
Yep used the digital this arvo and got pregnant up was exciting all over again. I wish those ones said it forever i did take a pic though
haha im POAS Mad at the moment
Wow Forshelby you are 10 week already - what date is your scan? not long and youll be a lady of leisure, are they throwing you a leaving party?
Dampyre - FX this is your month it sounds perfect.
Clairesmummy - i think dreams mean alot. its sounds like your friend is telling you something. My DP dreamed my car got broken into i hope his dream isnt telling me something!
GlenGlen hope you get your BFP this month and you can join in my POAS craziness
Mum22 have you POAS anymore times today?
Reet those levels sound great. wish i had done mine yesterday. def going to check progesterone as with my first m/c in 2008 the hcg was great but the progesterone was like 8 and then i lost it.
Sorry to everyone i have missed xoxoxoxox
My DD is on the mend it was so scary though. She was so cheeky tonight so she is feeling better
Sorry stoked! missed ur post! my post took me forever cos i was constantly having to leave the computer!
It cld be too early.. give it til friday to test again. Kellbell was 4 or 5 days late when she got her bfp.. so ur still in with a chance! Good luck! :)
Reet i love your ticker - its so cute. Did you get your progesterone done as well as HCG?
Kellbell- Really looking forward to hearing ur results! Hurry up and go give blood!! :) they hadnt gotten my progesterone levels back in when i called today.. my midwife yesterday said call her in the arvo today to get results so come 12pm on the dot i called! haha. i was too embarrassed to ring back later on to get progesterone levels.. guess ill get them when i call on friday for next bt results.
So happy to hear ur dd is feeling better.. i cant begin to imagine how scary it wld be for u and ur dp...and her. Being a mummy is so stressful! ..even right before conception! :)
xx
