Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 11

Could I please be put at 1DPO on the lists?

Pretty sure I ovulated late on Wednesday/early Thursday. I actually managed to DTD last night and I woke up with a bad cramp so fingers crossed.

If not it's all the booze I can drink at xmas!! :rotfl:

Thanks again for the congrats, but I'm still feeling a bit edgy about it. Took an FRER this morning and it's as faint (if not slightly fainter) than yesterdays. I calmed down and realised I'd been to the loo twice in the night and only had about 4 hours sleep, plus I drank a lot of fluid before bed. Just taken an IC on about a 3hr hold and it's still so faint - trying to stay relaxed but can't help the word 'chemical' bouncing around my brain. The only symptoms I've got are veiny boobs & I'm a bit hotter than usual, I honestly feel fine.

According to tinterweb I'm only like, 3wks 2days so I reckon I just need to calm down and see what happens. Keeping everything crossed.

IC's are notorious for not doing the 'get darker' thing. As long as there is a line, it counts! I took an IC about 10 weeks into this pregnancy, and it was just as light as it was at 4 weeks, so don't go by the darkness of the line (on any test!). A line is a line is a line!

Thank you so much! It's still so early so it makes sense that my lines are faint. I don't know, it's like I suddenly expected them to be blazing this morning. There's a line, you just can't see it until your nose is about half a foot away. I've just been reading about ICs, so I'll try to stop panicking - I'm such a worrier. Thanks also for the reassurance about symptoms blueneleh; you read so much about early indications that it's slightly peturbing to have virtually none.

My poor OH did that really cliched thing of getting really confused with a faint line, bless him! AF would be due on Sunday, so as I say just keeping everything crossed. Thanks again

Hiya Clare,
have you done a digital test yet?? That I guess will you tell you for sure. Good luck and fingers and toes crossed!

No, but only because I know the digis are less sensitive so I'm waiting until next week to crack one open if AF doesn't arrive. Having just looked at the IC I did earlier again, the line is definitely there. I've just had to remind myself of all the times I've tilted and held ones up in different directions to try and see something & you don't have to do that with this, so I'm firmly in camp 'a line is a line!' at the mo

Clare - I'd wait for a bit before I did a digital if I were you. They have a higher value needed to show up than most sticks, and there a bit expensive in my opinion! Of course it's up to you, but sometimes if you're not far enough along, they will still say 'not pregnant' even though you definitely are. If you can stand to wait, it would probably be best, plus then you can get a good photo of it.

HA! We cross posted! Still, huge congrats are in order for both of the BFP's from yesterday!

I was 10dpo when I found out and my only symptom was ... well no symptoms at all!! No pmt - no cramping - nothing. I didn't really change until at 4 1/2 weeks I got the worst cold I have ever had in my entire life and at 5 weeks it was hello morning sickness

You girls are all so lovely, thank you for the encouragement. I hope I'll be leaving you shortly in terms of the bfp, but I'll be so sad to not be able to come on here and offload, in such a supportive and non-judgemental environment.**

Have a lovely weekend everyone, whatever you're doing. I'll update you one way or the other next week

**I say this as if I won't be obsessively lurking...which I obviously will!

That's what we are here for! I will sit patiently in my TWW whilst I wait for your update, which of course will be a big fat digital positive

OMG congrats Claire! By the looks of it November is going to be a great month for BFP!!

Sorry about AF Cath and a Fresh Start x hugs and chocolate to you xxx

Will hopefully see many of you on the less than 12 week thread before long. Will still be lurking here if that's alright and will still be crossing everything on your TWW with you.

You women are sooooo amazing and wish baby dust on you all you guys deserve it xxx

Just realised this sounds like a goodbye post lol. It isn't!! I just want to thank you all for being so welcoming and making me realise I'm not the only crazy baby making one
