Oh my bloody god buzz huge congratulations!!!!!! I knew something must have been going on after last week and the lack of AB… you must be in total shock (I feel like I am for you haha) but so happy. Don’t worry about the wedding dress, adjustments can easily be made. You might lose weight in first few months if you have morning sickness (hope you don’t of course!) but just focus on being healthy for now I would. Delighted for you and your very strong lines [grin} Literally can’t stop smiling for you yay. How many DPO are you?

Sorry about the BFN tessa, hope you’re looking after yourself and have nice things planned this weekend Flowers hope AF stays away.

WOW!!!!! huge congratulations Buzz thats so cray cray!!!!

You were worried you weren't ovulating 😂

Have you got any symptoms?!

MrsC2017 · 18/03/2017 10:38

That is a string line on that IC, I think I was over a week late when mine got that strong on one of those! Eeek I'm thrilled to bits for you!!! Have you worked out your due date?

Tigger83 · 18/03/2017 10:24

Omg buzz congratulations!!!! What a lucky thread

buzzmoon · 18/03/2017 10:15

Oh wiggly that's such a good idea!! Love it! Thanks all, i hope I'll be okay in my dress 🤞🏽 what are the chances of losing weight in the first 3 months? Can I keep doing slimming world?? It has definitely not sunk in yet tessa :)

MrsC2017 · 18/03/2017 10:12

buzz ahhh amazing!!! Huge congratulations to you and I just lol'd at what your dp said, classic male response 😂 😂 😂 thrilled for you and don't worry, I didn't start to show until 6months on my first, you'll definitely get away with it and your dressmaker will be able to sort it!!! How wonderful xxxx

Wiggleyfingers · 18/03/2017 10:12

This is so great Buzz! You could do as my friend did and announce it in the Grooms speech at your wedding as you will be over 12 weeks by then! So special ❤️ also explains the missing period!

tessapop · 18/03/2017 10:11

Eeeek!! @buzzmoon that's amazing news!!! Grin has it started to sink in yet? How late were you? Xxx

buzzmoon · 18/03/2017 10:11

Hi guys! Sorry I've been quiet past few days! Just mental with work! So just done a IC..... help! I think I'm going mad

tessapop · 18/03/2017 09:40

Hi guys, so I tested this morning with a FRER and it's BFN so pretty sure I'm out this month :(

HeyJupiter · 18/03/2017 09:02

Sorry for the BFN mummy, but glad you’re feeling a bit better today. Hope you’ve got a nice weekend planned?

Oh grumpy don’t blame you at all, would have done the same! Yes ovia is assuming that you will ovulate tomorrow (and you probably will be if you got your CB peak) Will be interesting to see what an IC OPK says and whether it backs up CB. Que sara sara indeed, will secretly be hoping for you Grin

Dancing I wouldn’t normally have the willpower but I really want me and DH to do a test together (and would mean the world to him to ‘officially’ find out together.. that’s a good motivator) and then have a day together to celebrate. It will be worth it. Cant wait for a new niece/nephew to arrive. I’m surrounded by newborns at the moment and loving it. Hope you’ve managed to catch up on some sleep and not feeling too exhausted today.

Hb have a nice day at work! At least the sun is shining (well it is here anyway) Hope you get through your ‘to do’ list today, always a satisfying feeling.

DancingUnicorn · 18/03/2017 08:18

Glad you are feeling better mummy. Really hope AB stays away!

Exciting times Grumpy! Que sera indeed! :)

Jupiter, I can't believe you are able to wait until tomorrow! Is it sinking in at all yet? So exciting you will get to cuddle a tiny newborn soon! I'd love to be an auntie some day! My lo will be the first grandchild on both sides, how will I ever avoid it being spoiled?!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 18/03/2017 07:47

Ahh mummy hope you're ok x

Well I got a Peak on the CBFM this morning! I might do an OPK later today to see if that's dark too. Ovia has updated my FW to end tomorrow - so assuming ov tomorrow?

Tomorrow is CD15 (actually I felt ov pains last cycle on CD15) but if i have a 33 day cycle again that's an 18 day luteal phase!! I think I can expect AF a bit earlier this month. At least I know O day so a preg test at 12-14dpo should be conclusive.

Zero willpower / fighting biological urges as we DTD this morning after seeing the Peak reading (I showed DH) Grin que sera sera

HbH04 · 18/03/2017 07:27

Aw glad you're feeling better mummy, hope AB steers clear!

How exciting jupiter you'll get to hold a cute newborn very soon! My nephew kept us waiting two weeks! But was worth the wait!!

I'm working today Shock Then out for dinner with the inlaws tonight, then lots of errands/sorting/life admin tomo! Not the most exciting weekend (bar tonight) but got to be done! ✅

Mummyme87 · 18/03/2017 07:10

Stomach a bit sore today otherwise feeling a lot better 😀
Thought I had a squinter on a FRER this morning but no... then I saw some brown discharge so suspect AF will be here in full force.
