Michelle...... am pretty sure - a line is a line, honey! Im quietly congratulating you right now and :fingerscrossed: for a great BT result anyday now....
Michelle, I am soooo with the others, I am *quietly* celebrating too! Can I ask, are you using Fortel? I thought I read that somewhere. I only ever get a VERY faint line with that one, and it's hard to see because the plastic reflects on it!!!!!! I think Discover has a really clear cut line, no uming and ahing over whether it is there or not. Just a tip from one POAS addict to another! A line is a line honey WoooooooHooooooo! Please go for a BT!!!
Lisa, I'm so rapt with what your Np said to you, that sounds wonderful sweetie! I *know* that you are going to be pg soon, I can just feel it! I can't tell you how good it is to hear you sounding so positive. Won't be long now........
Jules, I'm with you on the fear thing, my fear levels have risen about 100% today! Try not to stress too much sweets, think positive thoughts! I'm a bit crampy again today too, but I know it's nothing to worry about. Still wish it wouldn't happen though! We'll get through this together! Are you having an early scan?
Megan, I hope your Nana's funeral went as well as it could. I'm sure you're feeling pretty wiped out now
Belle, how are you going hun, haven't chatted with you for awhile. Thinking of you
Well, my appt went well, not too much to report. He 'thinks' (haha) he can feel something around my uterus, and my blood pressure was good 130/70, but then, my BP is always good. I am booked in for my first u/s two weeks today, he thinks that will be the ideal time for a good scan. And he gave me the referrals for the BT and 12 week scan as well, we're *optimistic*! Holy $hit! I am now crapping myself! I don't know why, but KNOWING when I am having my scan makes this whole thing soooo much more stressful. I keep swinging between being absolutely convinced that I am going to lose this pg too, to thinking that all will be great! And that's only in the last 3 hours! Up to now I think I've coped pretty well, but I think the next two weeks could be interesting. Oh well, can only take one day at a time and all that. Thanks so much for all your good wishes girls, it's so good to know that you are all here. And I will be with you all 100% of the way when you are going down this road!
Hope you all have a great night! I'll try to get on before I go to Chaddy tomorrow (YAY!) to see if there's anymore news!
Oh Sez - can I join you on the swing between emotions. I WANT to be excited and yet I am so scared it isn't real and not going to eventuate. Yes, I did use a Fortel HPT, but I have also done a Confirm and I have a box of First Response too I just need the line to be darker and then I will head off for a blood test. Probably not until Tuesday / Wednesday as DH will be away for work. But that is all assuming that the POAS gets a darker line each time. And now I can't remember when I have to start on the Clexane and aspirin!!!!!! Sarah ???? Can you give me a clue (and psych me up for having to inject myself)
Jayne - there seems to be a lot of peeing of pants today I sincerely hope you girls are doing your pelvic floor exercises. Thank you. Your excitement is something to watch (and you can do it for me while I try to remain composed for a little bit longer.
Thank you Keen for your quiet congratulations and Michelle - thank you for keeping the seat warm too. I hope I don't disappoint you all and this is a false alarm.
Michelle, you poor thing, it's very hard getting a faint line, isn't it? Am I, aren't I? Aaaagghhh! It's enough to send you round the bend! I am praying so hard for you, and will continue to do so until you can post your official BFP! I am sure you'll have no dramas injecting yourself (eeeek!), after all you know how to do it, don't you LOL?!! Will you POAS again tomorrow morning?
BTW, I know I should be doing PF excercises already, but I can't bring myself to, just in case. It's like I don't want to be too optimistic IYKWIM. A friend told me to start using the Palmers stretch mark cream (which I have waiting) but I can't bring myself to do that either! Nutcase!
Sez - Yes, start using the Palmers or any type of good moisturiser will do. They help to elasticise the skin in preparation for all the stretching that's going to happen. I use the Body Shop Body Butters. I'm going with strawberry atm. When I was having Jess I was right into the cocoa butter type stuff. I swear, I smelled like a chocolate crackle the whole pregnancy. This time I'm going for the fruit salad! LMAO.
Michelle - Maybe you should go & get one of those clear blue digital ones because they come up PREGNANT or NOT PREGNANT on the window. I KNOW you are pregnant, but you need to start believing it honey! I'm here cheering you on from the sidelines & yes, I'm peeing my pants & good thinking, I'll start practicing my pelvic floors now!
Well ladies after my eventful day I must go & get some shut-eye! Caddie has given me a b/f book so I'm going to go & have a read of that & get all clued up again.
OMG - Michelle - that's fantastic!!! I'm quitely celebrating for you aswell!!! A line is definitely a line. I had a BFN, then a really, really faint BFP (I thought I was imagining it to at first) and slowly it got a bit darker!!! So there you go!!! I think it took a good three days after the faint positive for it to get a little bit darker for me, so hang in there. I'm sure this one is going to stick for you - stick bubba stick!!!! I really am just over the moon.
Sorry, I can't really concentrate on anymore personals right now. I've just had the crapiest day ever and I'm sooo pleased I logged on to read your news Michelle - it's just completely cheered me up (and that's impressive coz I've been really, really down today)!! So thank you Michelle!!! So, so happy for you! Keep us posted with how you go!! Can't wait to hear how your DH responds to the news!!!! How wonderful.
Okay, everyone is keeping me hanging, it's not fair!
Michelle, any more tests today? I think we're all dying to hear! and for you. Have you mentioned it to dh yet?
Belle, you naughty girl! How can you be MIA when you are due to test LOL! And you've got that temp thing happening too.......(thanks Tanya!). I have to go out soon, and won't be able to log on for HOURS! Please don't ruin my day shopping (JK!) and pop on and let us know what's happening in the world of Belle!
Tanya, have you got some valium hanging around? (JUST KIDDING!!!!!) I hope you can get the kiddies to bed, even if it's just for a quickie! It'll do the job just the same! Good luck hun!
Lisa, how are you today chicken? Still busy with work? Take care of yourself.
Hi everyone else, I really have to go and get ready, going to Chaddy with my Mum, it's her birthday today, and shopping is her favourite thing! Having lunch is my favourite thing, so it should be a good day! Now i'll just have to convince her NOT to buy any baby things.....she's hopeless! Hope you all have a great day, and I'll check in before I go out to see if anyone has reported in!
Michelle - thinking of you and praying for a darker line for you this morning.
Sez -have a great day shopping. I love Chaddy but im off to highpoint today with my cousin and her 1 year old who is such a spunk! Im still busy with work, was up til 2am working. Crazy I know, but I can work better when dh is sleeping and there is nothing to watch on tv!!
Have a great day gals, sorry no more time for personals got to make the bed and get ready.
Well I gave myself a meltdown this morning using a First Response HPT and the line could barely be seen. Used one of the work ones (not FMU) and there is a line still. I wouldn't say darker but it is there. A few more days of no AF and I'll have a blood test. Still cramping which is a worry but I know it can be normal too.
Told DH yesterday afternoon and he is quietly excited but still reserved. But that is OK. He has been through alot too so he has the privilege of being reticent. He leaves soon (I am at work already) to go away for 4 days. Keep those prayers going girls ... I'm still not convinced but getting a little more excited.
BBL to check on you all and see how you are doing.
Michelle - whoo hooo hoo I dont like First Response - try clear blue or crystal clear tomorrow morning. I have good feelings about this Mich. And believe me I am praying like mad for you.
Michelle.....I did not any of this until now, i really must keep a closer eye on you girls... woohoo, i will be sooo praying for a nice thick bold line tomorrow!!!
Lisa, how are you doing petal, are you ok? I have had you in my thoughts.
Tanya, I will also be praying the blue team thrives for you this month!!!
I was exactly the same, very very feint positive 6 DPO (yeah, I know really early, couldn't help myself) then I got two more BFP but after the "cut off time" - IYKWIM, then finally for my official BFP on CD35, when AF was due (my cycle is all over the place) or 12 DPO.
Hello to everyone else
Sezjm - going for a scan when I will be 9 weeks on the 31st October. I think then I will believe that I am really pg. ATM I feel 'normal' IYKWIM.
OK - now I have become and undie checker too My goodness this is going to screw with my head. Still crampy but still no bleeding. Yay!!!! Thanks Jools. Just hoping we can get through these next few weeks without losing our marbles
Got everything crossed for you Michelle (including my legs coz DH is on nite shift for the next 3 nites so no bedroom action going on here (not that it counts anyway )
Megan - sweety how are you? I hope your nan's funeral was special. ive been thinking about you and im hoping you are doing well given the up and down we had last week. Im feeling better and I hope you can find some strength to get through this and continue your ttc journey. I am here for you..
Michelle - I feel like im stalking you hun, but its only cause I love ya and really want everything to turn out like a fairy tale for you this time. I hope those two lines make a great show for you tomorrow morning.
Sez - so when exactly (I want to know the date missy) is your scan?? Oooh i am so excited. Did your mum buy baby clothes???
Jools / Paige / Kelly - so how are we all doing in pg land??? Now I know your all knicker checkers and I believe Michelle has joined your group!
Belle - have you jumped ship lovey?? thinking of you and hoping you will be announcing a bfp soon.
Kate - where you at? Hope? where are you?? Now I know one of you has gone away but for the life of me i dont remember which one
Naomi - so how did the bt's go? Im so happy for you hun, you had better dump loads of baby dust in here.
Missy - welcome, i am sorry I didnt get to welcome you earlier and I am deeply sorry for the loss of your precious little boy. I admire you strength and courage to board the ttc train again. we are all here for you and ready to help you through this.
Kez - are you still around hun?
Tanya - did you get your quickie in the other night
Shell - thanks hun for thinking of me - I am feeling better. Now you and Michelle can go and confuse everyone in PAML like you had me confused when i first joined this thread! Oh and there is the other *Michelle* in there too...the PAML gals wont know whats hit them.
Jayne - make way lovey looks like all your gals pals are coming over to join you and make sure you hold Michelle's hand really tight.
Oh gals, this thread has been lucky of late (ok maybe not totally lucky ) but overall good things are happening. Praying that we clear this thread once and for all and no one ever has to be in here again
Me - still waiting for a real af to show, im sick of the brown spotting. Im having an internal scan (Jayne - the dildo cam!) on Monday to see if there is any pg tissue left and to decide whether I need a curette. Other than that I feel better and ive got a kitchen tea tomorrow and a 21st so im a real busy bee. Good to have things on as it keeps my mind off everything else.
Hope your all having sweet dreams or making sweet babies as Im typing this at midnight.
Lisa - hello gorgeous!! Thank you for asking. Mother nature is playing with my mind ... no bleeding but still not a dark line (I know - it is only the day after and I don't normally get a line at all at this stage so .... just impatient.
Gotta go to work but I'll check in on you all later.
Lisa - Hope you are well . No AF yet though I have had sypmtons for last stupid week. I wish it would just happen its been 6.5 weeks :mad: I see my ob this friday so I am looking forward to that, to make sure that my remaining tube is ok and to find out why my other one exploded.
Michelle - Wow congratulations
Paige - Also a big congratulations to you too
Lisa is right this is a lucky thread
Hi to everyone hope you are having a great weekend
