Wow that's amazing Ember!! lush news :) I'm CD 27 and already had a bfn when I stupidly test early on Sunday 🙈 so I had totally lost hope but have been having (or should I say spotting lol) a few symptoms, bad boobs, peeing more (not drinking more) and today I'm feeling a stitch/sharp pain down low left side of abdomen only, with the odd little flutter. But af is due in a couple of days an I'm sure despite being early my bfn probably wasn't wrong, just lovely to hear a fab story, and a very quick one lol. Massive congrats chicky xx

Emberblu · 31/01/2017 15:36

Thanks guys!
MrsGB2225 I'm not sure, if I had patience I would buy him a valentines gift but I know I'll blurt it out before then! I might draw him a cute picture/card and put the test with it 😊 Is EDD estimated due date? (Sorry I'm clueless with all the letters!) if so it should be mid October Grin

MistyBxx I'm guessing stats mean cycle info and stuff (sorry again for my hopelessness! Confused). This was actually the first cycle of trying. I'm 26, CD 33, Dpo 18 ttc#1. but this was my first full cycle post pill so put off testing for ages haha.
Of course I don't mind telling you my symptoms Smile here:
Feeling constantly queasy but no vomiting since a day or so after ovulation
Some headaches
Period like cramps over the past 4 days
A few days of extreme tiredness right after ovulation
NO aversion to smells or foods
NO tender nipples (only today do I have very slightly sore boobs)
Maybe peeing more but I'm drinking more too
Very hungry every couple of hours
Slightly dizzy sometimes
Back ache but I have a bad back anyway...
NO metallic taste
NO irregular cravings but I've always had weird specific food cravings so it wouldn't helpGrin

The only thing slightly different about my cramps, incase it helps anyone, is that one day it felt more like a fluttering muscle twitch... today it is a deep ache right in my hips. So don't write it off cos you aren't getting the big symptoms or think AF is comingSmile

Fingers crossed this is a sticky bean! I'm so scared AF will still appear with all this aching...

BluePheasant · 31/01/2017 15:25

Congrats Ember!

Oyster OPKs are your friend, in theory would only have dtd once WinkGrin

MistyBxx · 31/01/2017 15:19

Massive congrats Ember! What are your stats? And what symptoms have you been getting if you don't mind me asking?x

MrsGB2225 · 31/01/2017 15:19

Congratulations! That's such a strong positive! How are you going to tell him? What's you EDD?

GN06 · 31/01/2017 15:07

Wow congrats Ember! Super strong line! X

Emberblu · 31/01/2017 14:37

Ok so I said I'd wait until tomorrow but.... look at this!!!!!! Aaaaah! So I'd say don't write it off just cos you are having cramps and feeling period like! Gonna test again tomorrow morning just to make sure... I don't think I'll believe it until I visit the docs but omg!!! Good luck everyone! Now to tell the DH GrinGrinGrin

Feb 2017 bus is ready to go! TTC this month? Hop on.....
Oysterbabe · 31/01/2017 12:23

Hi all!

Can I have a seat at the back? Taking my last mini pill on Thursday then cracking on ttc. Not expecting much for the first month or so but will start pissing on the odd opk in a couple of weeks to see if anything is happening and it'll be nice to be here amongst fellow baby crazy ladies when I can't talk about it irl.

I'm 36 and have a ridiculously adorable 13 month old DD. Conceived cycle 5 post pill last time but now I'm older, fatter and can't really be arsed to DTD having not slept in 13 months. I'll be giving it my best shot but expect to be here for the long haul.

BluePheasant · 31/01/2017 12:02

Feeling similar to you GN06. My symptoms with DC1 were so strong, I feel that I would just know if I was pregnant again!

mrsbarnettsbaby · 31/01/2017 11:11

Bfn on ic this morning. However no AF and ic are crap so not losing hope yet!

GN06 · 31/01/2017 11:10

CD23 for me and feeling absolutely nothing whatsoever. Nada. Feeling pretty sure I've not conceived as I still didn't get peak this month on CB fertility monitor. Will be gutted of course, but feel like I know in my head it's not my month. Will be mentioning the non existent peak days for the last 3 cycles (since having coil removed) to gp next week. Hopefully ovulation is still happening by the LH surge is too low for the monitor to pick it up... would love to know what's really going on down there! Planning on testing on 6th/7th if AF hasn't showed up by then.

MistyBxx · 31/01/2017 09:59

It's a nightmare having tests in the house 😑 if I get a bfn Saturday (or if af arrives) I'm gonna stash the tests and forget about them lol.
Boobies are still sore, got up in the night to pee again which is unusual for me but no sign of implantation bleed which is what I'm really looking out for coz af not due til Thursday earliest and Monday latest but can't get that stupid bfn out of my head from Sunday which I know is early but seems unlikely to have been wrong 🙈

Emberblu · 31/01/2017 09:46

Coffee3 I will be buying the test(s) today and testing tomorrow morning since still no AF! It's been so hard holding off, but I just didn't want a bfn haha at least this way I could convince myself I was definitely pg with all these 'symptoms' Grin Fx I am one of the lucky ones Smile

BluePheasant · 31/01/2017 09:13

I would have caved in early too and tested if I had any in the house!

If I get a bfp there's no way I could wait until Valentine's Day to tell DH Grin

Hope feeling better Bertie

I felt so tried last night, about 7pm just overwhelming tiredness came over me, no reason for it as wasn't a v hectic day. It passed again after an hour or so, weird!

12 dpo, keep hoping for signs of implantation bleed but I've got nothing

BertieBotts · 31/01/2017 08:41

Yes there's always some significant date! Which in the beginning was a bit scary because it kept hyping it up and putting the pressure on. Now I just feel like there's going to be a special day every month so never mind Grin

Charley2016 · 31/01/2017 08:31

Any, hhaz and misty don't worry! You are all still very early. We all know how hard it is to step away from the pee sticks haha! FX for the weekend!

Oh that is super strong! Got lots of BD in?

Anyone else treating about wrapping pregnancy tests in nice red boxes for valentines Blush I literally ever month have went, oh would be nice to tell him after the honeymoon, or on Christmas Day, or on his birthday haha and I end up bloody dreaming about it every month.

Ohb0llocks · 31/01/2017 08:19
Grin
Ohb0llocks · 31/01/2017 08:13

Suuuuuper positive ov test this morning Grin DP is pleased

MistyBxx · 31/01/2017 08:12

Same hhaz! Not out of the game yet chick wait til af doesn't arrive 😍

hhaz · 31/01/2017 00:17

Was stupid and tested early as friend 'guessing' I was pg got my hopes up, bfn, af due on Thursday! Need to be stronger,!!

AnyFarrahFowler · 30/01/2017 22:57

Thanks Coffee Smile
Fingers crossed for both of us on Saturday then, Misty!

Coffee3 · 30/01/2017 22:11

AnyFarrahFowler you never know, there's 5 days yet; don't count yourself out (love your username btw)

MistyBxx · 30/01/2017 22:11

ANY I'm exactly the same 🙈 tested last night and I know I shouldn't have, bfn of course, holding on to a glimmer of hope before testing again sat morning x

AnyFarrahFowler · 30/01/2017 21:48

I caved and tested early Blush Obviously it was a BFN. I must admit I don't "feel" pregnant, whereas with DS I had all the usual symptoms. I know every pregnancy is different, and I'm not technically supposed to test til Saturday, but still. Ffs Sad

Coffee3 · 30/01/2017 21:42

Glad you like the 'when to test' link!
Emberblu why not just test and check you've not got lucky first time around? (I would def not have the willpower to wait!)
