That's not a tlp Black Ribboner - that's a BFP! Congratulations

That is definitely a BFP! Congratulations!

I've still been cramping with backache and sore bbs. CD20, no idea how many DPO I am, but I imagine I'll be disappointed in 10 days...

Definitely a BFP Black ribboner

If it's ok with you ladies I'm gonna hang around here for a while as OH does not believe the TLP :-( kind of heart broken as he keeps telling me not to get excited because it's probably all in my head

Evening all!

Firstly, sorry to hear your news pinkshoes. That truly sucks.

Secondly, congratulations Dotty and Black Ribboner and anyone else I might have missed!

cuilean - i had the same with the Clearblue dual hormone thingy, I got 6 high fertility smileys in a row, and then stopped as I want to save the rest of the stick for next month lol! I didn't get a positive IC OPK but apparently I ovulated as I have had blood tests now - day 5 and day 21 bloods all show what they were meant to show so that should mean everything's working, I guess that means I just have to go and see dearest husband more in the week.

Anyway - I'm now going to assume ovulation was approximately 6 to 9 days ago, (I think 8 - I suspect last Saturday) Ovia says AF due Friday and I'm determined not to test until Friday. As such, no tests have been bought - I will not allow myself to POAS till Saturday. Unless of course I become convinced it's a good idea in the mean time and I literally cannot concentrate in work unless I go buy tests. Must concentrate on work this week too.

Dammit. I'm gonna buy tests tomorrow night. Just in case you know. Better be prepared and all......

Please please be cautious with blue dye tests ladies.

Personal experience of this also, just a heads up. Fingers crossed it is a genuine BFP of course

Ah lisawood, that's made me nervous! Am now 18DPO though and no AF - even with irregular cycles my understanding is that AF always comes within 14-16 days after ov?

Dotty, I know how you feel - my OH believes the test, but doesn't want to get excited in case I miscarry. I understand his point (our friends hit 12 weeks just before Christmas and were then diagnosed with blighted ovum, horrible), but it's a definite downer

lisawood78

Sorry black ribboner, I just think people should know about blue dyes as they can cause all kinds of heartache.
Sounds promising though

I do have to second lisa about the blue dye tests. I did 4 in November and all looked positive. I think you genuinely are pg, please do a pink dye test!!

Ooo congrats to Blackribboner and dotty! Exciting!


I got excited as wasn't on when I woke up (usually am - can time it to the minute!) so did a test - BFN boo Silly AF mocking me! Just waiting for confirmation now...

Fingers crossed Dotty and BlackRibboner - i'm not sure when a line is a line, but I can definitely see a line on both, if that makes sense!

Sorry to hear it hasn't worked for you this month PinkShoes. Look after yourself.

We are going to follow SMEP for the first time this month.... I am CD9 today, just hoping I don't ovulate till the weekend as my OH is away a couple of nights mid week - he is happy to get up extra early before he leaves though to do the BD!

Fingers crossed!
