A bfp for yellowflowers!

After over two years, some false alerts (lots of symptoms and possible faint/evaporation lines but never a real line), lots of blood tests and other more invasive tests and bowlfuls of tears, today I got a bfp on a digital! What?s more, I am overweight (bmi 40), dh had two not great sperm tests (though the last one was fine) and we were due to start iui with clomid next cycle ? in fact I was going to start clomid this week after period started. Obviously it?s incredibly early days and I will be hoping and thinking positive that this works out but thought those of you who have supported me over the past two years would like to know.

HOORAY! Don't know you at all but congrats nevertheless!

AmandaCooper · 06/04/2010 16:10

Hooray! sticky vibes coming your way!

laurielou · 06/04/2010 16:24

Oh, I am so pleased for you. BIG CONGRATULATIONS!!

I have stalked seen your name on a few TTC threads, & being in a similar situation watched with interest.

I've just finished first dose of Clomid, have scan tomorrow to see what ovaries have made of it, then the rest is up to us this month! I hope I'm as lucky as you.

Well done again, this really cheers me up, x

Yellow

A million congratulations. I am so very pleased for you - and for it to come just before you started IUI - and on a month when you didn't think you stood much of a chance anyway!

It goes to show you just never know.

Oooh. I really am so pleased for you.

Joolsiam · 06/04/2010 17:54

Delighted for you

SparkyMalarky · 06/04/2010 17:56

Hooray!!

Caitni · 06/04/2010 18:01

Hurrah!! Am delighted for you

I saw last night that you'd had what you thought was an evap line, so was actually checking up today (a stalker? moi? ).

Yes, it's early days but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy your BFP. You deserve it!

taytotayto · 06/04/2010 19:51

yellowflowers · 06/04/2010 21:54

Thank you all! So chuffed. Am cautiously excited. Can't stop talking about it. Think dh bored already! He thinks I am a bit premature in my demands for a post birth helium balloon and what will we do for Christmas with a teeny baby talk. Haha. Did I say cautiously? But seriously trying to stay calm for next eight weeks.

Tayto I haven't forgotton I said I'd email you. I will.

flintski · 09/04/2010 08:58

am fine yellowflowers - had my scan a couple of weeks ago which was a real relief. I am due 1st Oct so still quite a long way to go. Any symptoms yet?

yellowflowers · 09/04/2010 09:46

wow, that's so lovely. I am mainly just worried it won't work out but also trying to stay positive.

Symptoms - felt very ropey this morning. Also have bad tummy (def not constipation!), and stuffy nose. And burst into tears last night when dh wouldn't discuss names because he was reading a book - is that a symptom?

What about you?

Wow Yellow Congratulations!!!

Welcome to the club! H&H 9 months to you. I'm so happy for you and so glad you didn't need IUI. Enjoy every minute of your PG..... X

flintski · 11/04/2010 21:40

I had quite a lot of nausea early on and be prepared for the intense tiredness that hits around 6 weeks - I still get a bit like it now.

Hope all is ok with you - just saw your message on names board - good luck but names will just come to you! end credits of tv shows are good!

DuelingFanjo · 13/04/2010 15:07

I just wanted to say massive Congrats. I remeber you posting at around the time I started trying (I was Beanieb/beaniesteve back then) and it's really good to hear that you have been successful

Congratulations.

I'll be joining you in the Dec thread as I just got my BFP too
