For my own sanity..any of the grads ever had a true bfp outside the time frame? Or opening up the test? I'm going actually mental here, so basically how long is too long out of the time frame for the test to be invalid?
I'm in a massive grump after an evening of questioning myself and my sanity Angry

BubbaNo1 · 04/01/2016 20:52

Pinklily I haven't got a clear digital will get one tomorrow after work.. I have a first response so I'll do that one in the morning

Mileymoocow · 04/01/2016 20:51

harrietm87 · 04/01/2016 20:46

leoniethelioness · 04/01/2016 20:39

miley hormones cause the white lumps on nipples, it can be pregnancy, but it can also be caused by an increase in hormones as you approach af. Something to do with our skin producing oil especially around the nips to keep them from getting cracked/dry.

I'm pretty certain af is going to show up by this weekend. So if I keep having af signs, I might not test at all unil I'm actually late!

em have a read through of the previous threads too, I'll try and link them later, we are pro's at symptom spotting! Grin

Ahh, sorry, me getting confused!

Are you going to do a Clear Blue digital?

swimchick1980 · 04/01/2016 20:29

Congratulations Bubbles and good luck with your test tomorrow Indi.

Someone asked whether we'd been checked out - yes, but only initial checks (there's a LONG waiting list). I seem to be fine and am ovulating. Normally 27day cycle or so but have had a couple of 30/31 days (where my hopes are raised, only to be dadhed again) and a couple of 21 day cycles too in the last year or so. Unfortunately though DH has low sperm count (don't know any more than that). Trying to decide if/when we have a cut off point to try private IVF etc but it's just so expensive :-(. Have been trying the his and her pregnancy vitamins but DH keepa fforgetting to take them - raging!!

AF due tomorrow so will see. Got some symptoms but they're all the same fecking symptoms as AF....Mother Nature is too cruel sometimes Confused

BubbaNo1 · 04/01/2016 20:22

Lol I think that was Buppapup that was getting married. Lots of confusing bubs about ConfusedBlush

Pinklily1 · 04/01/2016 20:08

Woo hoo, congrats Bubba!!!! Wonderful news Thanks I'm with Harriet in terms of recollection - haven't you moved the wedding forward?

Bubbles, don't panic it's not too late at 32! I've just turned 33 and BFP in cycle 1. There is lots of fertile-ness hmm, not an actual word but hey ho on this thread. Wishing you lots of sex, and spermy goodness Grin

Starky~ I'm so impressed you have still resisted the urge to poas!

emanne · 04/01/2016 20:01

i'm so desperate to test already starky i've just made OH go out and buy a load of PT so i have some to spare. i feel different than i usually do (body wise) just strange, don't know if i'm overthinking symptoms (which i probably am Hmm )
TMI but i literally almost nearly peed myself because i didnt need a pee then it just suddenly appeared Blush bed time soon i think... all this symptom thinking is hurting my head!!
fingers crossed! are any of you experiencing any symptoms similar to mine? (to put my mind at rest)

Mileymoocow · 04/01/2016 19:59

Can someone explain why I have little white lumps on my nipples?

I'm totally bloated and feel so grim. AF has semi-arrived again but without the mood swings. Also, incidentally, I have a fresh batch of opks to open which makes me happy! We are sooo ready for you, little egg.

shelbTa · 04/01/2016 19:37

Yey congrats bubba!!!! X

emanne so do I, can fully recommend ovia! I had two separate lh surges so my okp's were very confusing for a while! I won't be testing till at least the 10th even though I'm doing everybody's head in with my staunch refusal ovia been telling me to test for a week already!

You can get the ic tests for a couple of pounds from wilkos, bodycare and b&m, as well as amazon. Cheaper if you're a PAS addict as many of us are! my weakness Is okp's

emanne · 04/01/2016 19:06

StarkyTheDirewolf I use an ovulating app to check my ovulation Grin really helpful!! I sort of want to leave a test for a few more days, not sure though! Don't want to spend loads on tests! I'm Hoping my symptoms aren't just a general illness or me over thinking!! :(
Yay that's good!! We all love a positive Grin

spacepoodle · 04/01/2016 19:03

Go bubba eggs! That is definitely a positive. Congratulations!

Maybe all of our DHs are on a thread together talking about how crazy we are for buying a million tests and talking about our vaginas in such details... Grin

BubbaNo1 · 04/01/2016 18:59

Thanks guys! So shocked and a bit scared!

Hiya em and welcome! You're pretty much on the exact same cycle as me (except I don't actually know when I ovulated, could have been anywhere between the 20th and the 29th!) But I'm due af on the 12th too! (I have a long cycle)

You're symptoms all sound positive! When are you planning on testing? We're a very lucky thread! Our most recent bfp was about 20 minutes ago!
