I was horrendously bloated last time NJ even before I got my BFP so it could well just be all the extra gas. Lovely stuff!!

NJ81 · 25/05/2016 17:20

Thanks theresa - definitely a bit of that!

TheresaMarie55 · 25/05/2016 16:42

Nj. Not entirely the same but one of the things that led me to think I was pregnant was an increase in gas Blush . Had it each time. That's likely what the gurgling is but yours may be trapped? X

NJ81 · 25/05/2016 16:11

Congratulations ready - to all of you who are already moms or have just had a BFP - are you getting rather loud gurgly Bowles? My midwife said not to worry but I'm extra cautious after a mc last December.

I feel really emotional today, idk why. Trying to distract myself but everything leads back to ttc!! Cd30

TheresaMarie55 · 25/05/2016 16:00

I'll end up telling him as soon as he gets home Grin . will keep it a secret from everyone else for a while though x

neonrainbow · 25/05/2016 15:44

I couldn't keep it a secret, my dh will be more excited than me!!

TheresaMarie55 · 25/05/2016 15:33

I've got the idea in my head and so wanna do it but I am thinking maybe the wait it to long. I'll be 7 weeks by then (going off LMP) and its almost four weeks from nownid have to wait. Think I might have to give it a miss Hmm . We do however go on holiday on the 6th of June and it would be nice to tell him then. That's less than two weeks away so not to big a wait!

wispaxmas · 25/05/2016 15:21

Yay Theresa!!

lex, welcome! Symptom spotting is so pointless. I've discovered that convincing yourself you're not pregnant is what actually does the trick Shock

I might step back a bit from the conception threads for a bit, but will check back in on you lot!

marmitetoast1 · 25/05/2016 15:07

Ooh congrats to all the new BFPs! Lots of positive news! Smile

TheresaMarie55 · 25/05/2016 14:11

Done another test....another faint line. I think I can say it....IM PREGNANT Smile . Keeping it a secret until fathers day, will be the best present ever! X

Lex0503 · 25/05/2016 13:21

Hi can I join? Smile I am TTC #1. On month three, I think I'm in my fertile week. I've spent the last two months googling every single symptom sign movement twinge to try and convince myself I'm preg, and this month I decided to just go with it and decided it will happen when it's meant to happen. I haven't read previous thread, but hello to all here x

ginandcake · 25/05/2016 12:24

Ready congrats and I agree with everything said, it is way to early for any harm to have been done.

AlexiaB · 25/05/2016 11:54

Wow so many BFPs!!! Congratulations everyone :)

I really hope I'll be joining you in 5 days time!

neonrainbow · 25/05/2016 11:43

At the moment its still an embryo isn't it so you'll be fine Smile

twocatsandatoddler · 25/05/2016 11:23

Seconded, ready, you and baby will be fine. As Wispa said, the flow of nutrients through the placenta doesn't start until 5-6 weeks. And although drinking heavily in pregnancy is undoubtedly harmful, less crosses the placenta than you think as your liver metabolises a lot of it before it even gets to the placenta. Not that I'm advocating drinking during pregnancy, but FASD usually occurs when the mother drinks heavily repeatedly during pregnancy, not one weekend of drinking at 4 weeks! I read up on all this during my first pregnancy as I liked to be informed about why the guidelines around food, drink, medication exist.

P.S. I had a few drinks at the weekend too, if that makes you feel any better!

Readytosettle · 25/05/2016 10:48

Thanks Wispa. I needed that x
