babybrain3 · 18/07/2011 18:10

I have armed myself wit a test from work, as well as a digital one which I will do in the morning...

babybrain3 · 18/07/2011 18:09

peapop I think we only DTD on the day I was supposed to ov, but it only takes one egg!!!

1sttimetryer · 18/07/2011 17:13

Good way to think peapop!! Im think im also 3 dpo too, had horrible pain in my lower tummy and back, sort of like period pain and sore boobs too, finally after 3days thats gone :)
now hurry up 2ww, so hope we get lucky this month else ive got to wait another 6-8 weeks til next time i OV and im really impatient! not sure if we swi'd at the right time either Hmm

peapop · 18/07/2011 16:51

Congratulations freedom carlita and baby that's fantastic! What a brilliant start to the new thread!! Grin

I'm 3dpo and already symptom spotting with a vengeance! I couldn't get off to sleep last night for cramps which was a bit strange and I've been dizzy and starving hungry all day long. Not sure if we really swi enough to be in with a chance but I've decided this month i'm 100% on the positive thinking track! Smile

1sttimetryer · 18/07/2011 16:48

Yay! Congratulations freedom!!!! Thats brilliant news!!!
This is feeling like a very lucky thread :)

freedom2011 · 18/07/2011 14:50

hello? I cracked and did a clear blue today rather than tomorrow morning. It's positive. I've got an appointment with the doctor and I'll do another home test in the morning but this is the first positive I have had in 2 years of trying. I restarted with cycle 1 when joined this thread as wanted to have a fresh start. DH home in 4 hours. Trying not to get hopes up (failing) until doctor confirms but bloody hell I thought I'd never see a BFP. Shit me - I think I have to go and have a little cry.

Carlitawantsababy · 18/07/2011 12:43

I used a clearblue with conception indicator. Once I saw 'pregnant' I allowed myself to believe it, despite already having done 8 positive internet strip tests! Grin

babybrain3 · 17/07/2011 21:56

Which digital ones do you recommend?

babybrain3 · 17/07/2011 21:51

We do pregnancy testing at work, so i'l bring one home tomorrow and see what that one says... Sounds very promising though...

Carlitawantsababy · 17/07/2011 21:30

That's why I asked, I was using Internet strips too, look at one that isn't used and where dye is, when you test the dye rushes up to the control line, when not pg the rest settles back where it started, when pg it fills the other line, there's not much dye in them as they're cheap so that's actually as dark as it can possibly get! Hope you can get your digital one soon! Smile

babybrain3 · 17/07/2011 19:37

Thanks for all the good luck guys, still dont think I will believe it til there's a definate clear line. Am just using Internet cheapies, was going to get a proper digital one today but had the dc with me and knew I wouldn't be able to get one without them seeing and asking why I was getting a pregnancy test!!!! Looks like it's still the good old waiting game for me....

Carlitawantsababy · 17/07/2011 18:28

Thank you guys for all the congratulations! I'll definitely pop in and see how you're all going! Haven't fun a new thread to join yet but have started one so will see if anyone joins me! A big big thank you to you all for all the support, I expect to see you all in another thread somewhere very very soon as this one is lucky! Grin

Carlitawantsababy · 17/07/2011 18:25

babybrain! fantastic! Mine were so faint, what test are you using?

1sttimetryer · 17/07/2011 15:43

Wow! Congratulations Carlita, Thats brilliant news.
Keeping my fingers tightly crossed for you babybrain3
Hope AF doesnt show up freedom and you get a BFP instead :)

Hope everyone is havimg a lovely day :)

freedom2011 · 17/07/2011 14:03

not yet babybrain3, thanks for replying. I haven't had any symptons.
if AF doesn't turn up I'll get a test on Tuesday. Will report back Tuesday afternoon.

wouldbemumandotherstuff · 17/07/2011 12:29

congratulations carlita!!!! Grin that's wonderful news! and a great start to the new thread. do drop in on us from time to time and let us know how you are Smile
FX for you, babybrain!! two BFPs together would be amazing!

babybrain3 · 17/07/2011 12:26

*have

babybrain3 · 17/07/2011 12:25

Ave you tested freedom??? you may get a nice surprise....

freedom2011 · 17/07/2011 11:23

great great great carlitawantsababy and fingers crossed babybrain3 for official confirmation.

hmm, so now I am on day 48. cycles have extended from 32 days to 45 over the last cycles so trying not think this might be it but 48 days, I mean, it's a long time isn't it?

there, I've thought it so I guess AF will turn up this afternoon. Smile It's like lighting a cigarette when waiting for a bus. If one smoked that is.

toddle · 17/07/2011 10:16

Yey yey yey! May i be the first (providing i type fast enough) to congratulate you both. Its amazing news. Surely if we are going to start each new thread with this many BFP'S we should start a new one next month too :L

babybrain3 · 17/07/2011 09:04

I couldn't resist!!! Another really faint one...I am not convinced....Probably should have tested the one I did in the middle of the night... Oh well :(

babybrain3 · 17/07/2011 07:14

Congratulations!!!!! Yes I'm up, I'm all on my own though , dp is away and dc went out for a sleepover last night.... I woke up in the night for a wee for the first time. Can't decide whether I should wait until I have company tomorrow to do it. Would be a bit weird doing it when dp is away.... :(

Big congrats though carlita how exiting!!!! :o

Carlitawantsababy · 17/07/2011 05:36

Morning all! babybrain are you up yet?!
So.....it's official; it's digital.....GrinBFPGrinBFPGrinBFPGrin!!!!!

babybrain3 · 16/07/2011 21:50

I'm sure I've seen a faint one.... I'm with you carlita with testing tomorrow morning!!!
