Welcome holzyb - most of the ladies on here have been trying to conceive for ages - it's tough.

Dizzyn pee'd on any more sticks?

DizzyNorthernBird · 15/10/2016 00:38

Thanks hopes, pikz & pug! I was so shocked at that line, it literally was that dark as soon as the wee travelled up the stick......after reading so many 'can you see a line' threads I was expecting to get my magnifying glass out!

Pikz · 14/10/2016 23:20

Dizzzzzzy! Fabulous news!!

ThePug · 14/10/2016 21:42

DizzyN Yippeeeeee!!! Good news travels fast amongst bumsnetters Grin HUGE CONGRATULATIONS. And what a BF P line that is!

holzyb20 · 14/10/2016 15:16

Hi can I join you

Well I'm currently on cycle day 78 all hpts have been negative last period 30th july-3rd august. I had 2/3 lots of tiny amounts of spotting only lasting a day and barley there at all. I don't normally use opks but when I missed my first period I started to use them and have not ovulated since

I have been getting bad headaches, and very tired dont matter how much i sleep i still need more, last week I started getting very nauseous I was heaving to be sick but wasn't actually sick (I'm never sick or never normally feel sick either) my boobs feel achey and have noticed small thin purple veins on my breasts which i have never seen before.my big blue veins are normally noticeable anyway as I have big boobs but even they look bolder

I was pretty much convinced I weren't pregnant until I started feeling sick and now these random purple veins

Have a internal scan booked 26th October

I'm sooooo confused

TheArtfulJammieDodger · 14/10/2016 14:25

I'm delighted for you DizzyN!! Congratulations!!! Grin(Formerly HopesUpKnickersDown)

DizzyNorthernBird · 14/10/2016 14:14

Wow, what a response! Thanks oyster, chops, purple, sammy, mummy, and woolly for popping back in, I had no idea you were all still lurking here! Grin

boris I can imagine feeling the same and I'm totally preparing myself for a false start.

oyster I'll let you know as and when I feel ready to join up! I don't really go on Facebook much anymore but it'll be good to see pics of all the bumsnet babies!

Thanks genghis & magpie! I don't really know how I'm feeling at the moment! I need to not overthink things really...have just had lunch with a friend which was a nice distraction but I had to tell a white lie when she asked how babymaking was going! Other than mild cramping there's been no symptoms....I'm off for a run this afternoon and I'm not sure whether anything will have changed? Although I went running on Wednesday night and had loads of energy then!

I'm mainly worried about how to withhold this from my mum, she's coming to stay this weekend and knows that Af was due, and she knows my next fertility appointment in next Tuesday! I'm going to struggle to not blurt this out to her! DP is adamant that we tell no one until 12 weeks but I just think if anything goes wrong I'll want to talk to my mum!

Purplecuddlykoala14 · 14/10/2016 13:57

dizzyn so thrilled for you - so much so that I finally reset my MN password so I could send my congratultions. X.

MagpieCursedTea · 14/10/2016 12:03

DizzyN!! This is amazing! I genuinely couldn't be happier for you! How are you feeling? Other than in shock!

loopylou1984 · 14/10/2016 11:56

DizzyN!!! Amazing news! Congratulations SmileSmileSmile

Mummyto3ds · 14/10/2016 11:54

DizzyN congratulations on your last awaited bfp!! I'm so so happy for you. Lots of Love - previously Mummyofonesofar

Woolly84 · 14/10/2016 10:52

Jumping on to say a huge CONGRATS to DizzyN!!! 😀 I'm delighted for you! What a lovely strong line.

DizzyM and everyone else, fingers crossed not much longer until your BfPs 😊

chopsface · 14/10/2016 10:45

Omg!!!! Congratulations dizzyN! Lovely strong line! Fingers crossed this is it for you! Must have been the HSG.

Hi everyone else still here. Good luck with the Clomid rainy and great news about the morphology dizzyM! My dh was up to 5% the month before we conceived from 2% 3 months before.

Oysterbabe · 14/10/2016 10:38

Congratulations Dizzy!
What an amazingly strong line.

It is early but it's also massive progress. I'm so pleased for you.

It took me 11 weeks to be able to think of mysekf as possibly pregnant - I didn't think it could work out for me. The anxiety didn't stop here I'm afraid Confused there's a thread under the pregnancy board pregnant after infertility full of people with the sane anxieties.

DizzyNorthernBird · 14/10/2016 10:16

Thanks boris and night! Like I say, it's way too early to get excited but I did just work out that it will be a June baby if all goes well

Famalam13 · 14/10/2016 09:58

Yes yes yes yes Dizzy this has made my day, heck it has made my year (night by the way) Flowers

Borisisback · 14/10/2016 09:44

DizzyN!!!!! Wooooo hooooo hoooo that's a second line girl. Everything tightly crossed for you. X

DizzyNorthernBird · 14/10/2016 09:33

That should read, I didn't want to see yet another bfn!

DizzyNorthernBird · 14/10/2016 09:32

I'm in shock!

If FF is right I'm 18 dpo today. DP had suggested testing but I was reluctant as I didn't want to see yet another bfp, but I decided to go ahead anyway and nearly fainted when the line showed up straight away. It's really strong too!

Not going to get too excited just yet though, this is my first ever bfp and after waiting for it for so long it would be just my luck if it decides not to stick around. But if not, this is still progress!

Bumsnet Bus: Destination BFP!
Borisisback · 12/10/2016 19:44

Nice to hear from you dizzyn - hope the HSG has done some good :) fx this is your cycle.

Waves at everyone else :)

Kellz92 · 12/10/2016 08:57

DizzyN I hope AF stayed away!! I loved my nutribullet!

Magpie thank you, they're still here and on numerous tablets, nasal ointments and sprays, I can cope with them if they disappeared for a while but except that all is good. Hope you're keeping well. I have just over 16 weeks :) xx

MagpieCursedTea · 11/10/2016 09:48

DizzyN fx that af stays away! Interesting about the eggs, I know they're one of the things I ate a lot of when I first got diagnosed with PCOS as I heard they were meant to be good. Can't even look at them now as I associate them with the nausea from the metformin!

Genghis I hope the move goes well, we're looking at moving next year and I'm dreading the clear out!

Kellz I hope the migraines improve for you soon!

Rainy all the best for this cycle and the clomid one just in case!

Boris the end is in sight! That's so exciting!

DizzyM great news about your DH's SA results, that's quite an improvement! Fx it makes all the difference for you!

Not much news from me, 12 weeks to go now. I'm not sure what I'm counting down to more, the baby or the ability to eat as many carbs as I want...

DizzyNorthernBird · 10/10/2016 12:18

Hey, hope everyone is well! Logged myself out for a while and couldn't be bothered resetting my password! Grin

Af is due today/tomorrow morning. First cycle after hsg. Our timing was ok this cycle but didn't dtd very much. Don't feel any different right now to how I usually do pre AF, but there's a tiny part of me keeping my fx that my tubes were cleared and the sperm finally managed to get to that egg!

On an interesting note, I've been making a conscious effort to eat more eggs and I've noticed my usual pre AF spotting seems to have pretty much disappeared the last few cycles. Even though I've stopped wasting money on pre conception vits. Have also been eating more avocados and spinach (nutribullet!) which might have contributed!

Better dash, I'm in the middle of dying my hair and it's time to rinse!
