And so it begins TWW anyone?

I MUST be pregnant; was holding dh's cousin's tiny baby and when she cried I swear I had a let-down!! It was weird!!

@FlyingDandelionSeed so I just tried 4 different tests and they are all BFP!

@Wowthisisreal Congratulations!! That's amazing news. So happy for you!

When I got pregnant the first time round I tested every morning for 3-4 days because I couldn't believe it. Then after that the fact that af didn't turn up was enough...

Exciting times for you. Enjoy it.

Hope this thread is as lucky for others of us too!

You can use the same fmu :) exciting!!

@Prembabymum that's what I thought!! DH not convinced and started googling the chances of getting one. He's ecstatic. I'm slightly freaking out. In a good way!!! But still freaking out. Just despatched DH to buy loads more tests! Can I test in the same FMU or should I try again later!?

That's amazing news!!! Congratulations!! False positives are incredibly rare so you are preggo!! Yay!! X

OMG so I'm actually shaking as a write this. I just took a test and it's a BFP?!?!?!!!

It's a Clear Blue Early digital one. I'm in shock. I'm on CD 30 and I used my FMU. AF could be 4 days late or 4 days early.

Can you get a false BFP?!

I'm in shock.

I think 7dpo is a bit early,as I understand it implantation doesn't happen until around then so a pregnancy test wouldn't detect anything. Could you maybe just take it easy on the drinks, or even order separately and get mocktails?

BFP!
So i think 6-7dpo may still be a bit too early?

I asked that on another thread (for the same reason, going out next week and will be 9dpo) and they said 9dpo could do a FRER but a BFN could still turn into a BFB a few days later! But they also said alcohol doesn't have an effect until 2 weeks after implantation so you should be ok either way. Sorry if I've got that wrong...

So im going out with work tonight. I've been having loads of symptoms; discharge, boobs feeling like they did when I was breastfeeding, really hungry ALL THE TIME, extream fatigue (bed at 8pm a few nights this week!). It's prob all in my head though as I'm only 6-7 days po; although I'm not totally sure exactly! My question is; can I do a frer at this stage?? I want to know if I can drink tonight (it will look very suspicious if I don't!) Help!

@Babyboo80 oooo! Very different then 🤞🏻

@Wowthisisreal I usually get my AF on cd27 (making that 27th day cd1) and never gone over 29. Had it arrive up to 4 days early before now but never past 29

@FlyingDandelionSeed I know I know 😫 DH and I agreed this morning we would maybe take one on Saturday. We have a whole day together and I bought an early detection test which apparently works 5 days early? It gives me a target to get to and also I can see how I feel then and maybe hold out till the Weds!

I'm usually like clockwork so this has thrown me a little. We also DTD regularly based on it being 28 weeks and just the one time on the OD if it's 34 so who knows! My gut says if I'm on a 5 week then it's probably not going to happen this month but only time will tell 🤷🏼‍♀️

@FlyingDandelion i know we wish eh? I know the early testing is just a taunt really but after nearly3 yrs ive lost ALL patience

@Wowthisisreal I'd have so much less will power if I actually had tests in the house! Your situation sounds tricky. I suppose you 'should' treat it like it's a long cycle and not test til the 23rd - but that's easier advice to give than to follow!

@thisisouryrfx18 I feel like I shouldn't test til af is due (next wed) - af turning up is cheaper and often more certain than a pregnancy test! but I really struggle with not early testing. In some ways it gives you something to do during the 2ww, which is good, but because most of the time it doesn't actually tell you anything certain it drives me a bit loopy.

It's so unfair that we can't just magically choose when we get pregnant!

@starsandstuff id just offer to go up to the bar n get a coke or sumthin lie in say uve got vodka n coke? Or say uve got a bug lol thats what i do

Definitely thought I felt ovulation last night and me and DP considered DTD again and then decided we'd done enough and we'd just have a chilled tv night! But then later we both got the urge so a few more swimmers en route after all I'm glad it was because we wanted to and not because we felt we should. I'm sure those days will come so I'm happy there's no pressure on it just yet.

Now I'm trying to figure out about testing. So from reading the boards it seems implantation is about 6dpo and early, but not too early, to test is about 10-12dpo. Is that right? I have a works thing on the 25th when I'll only be 9dpo. If I don't drink at that they will be very suspicious and I don't want to have a conversation about it. But if I test and it's negative it could still be too early anyway? So would it be safe just to have a few?

@Babyboo80 how long is your cycle normally?

Cd39 BFN! Oh well, it's getting to the point that I don't think I'm pregnant now. No symptoms apart from fatigue and bloatedness. But that could be that af is gonna show. Good luck to you all 😊 if I do get a BFP by some miracle lol I'll post it up xx

I should add for context I'm currently on day 28 of this cycle!

@FlyingDandelionSeed when do u think ul test? I feel like this tww has been the worst im just fed up of the waiting now! ❤

@FlyingDandelionSeed well done!! I bought the tests last week (fancy digital ones and everything 😂) and now they are just sitting there asking to be tested! 😫
