Hi all, thought as it's Bank Holiday and thread 15 was 900 plus I'd start a new one, hope that's OK??

Copying tags from when @starkid updated them all the other day.

Hope this works as I've not created a thread before!!

@cupcakesandglitter sorry about AF. I feel your pain, I was horrendously bad with pain yesterday but also trying to see the positive of it being like my pre-pill days. Hopefully tomorrow will be better for you!

Lottiepink · 01/05/2019 13:18

So @Tropicana1 @SophWolf @Fivebyfive2

Anything different last cycle that you think helped with the BFP? I am guaranteed to follow what you done for my next cycle 🤣🤣

MrsH497 · 01/05/2019 12:43

@Tropicana1 my work trousers today seem to be digging in and super tight. Going to tell work tomorrow I don't want to take any risks. Will also tell parents tomorrow I think. How are you feeling? I feel in a bubble and like it's all not quite real x

Tropicana1 · 01/05/2019 12:39

@cupcakesandglitter ah I so feel your pain, I usually have such bad periods and have leaked through a few times too! Sorry AF is here with a vengeance but hopefully like you say good that it's a full blown normal cycle.

@MrsH497 not sure if it's all in my head but I'm super bloated today, bloating by the second I swear! Also still got lots of CM, every time I feel damp I panic run to the toilet!

Going to have to tell my boss over the next few days because of lots of work place hazards with being pregnant, but doesn't feel real enough to tell anyone yet!

starkid · 01/05/2019 12:04

Wow looks like there's lots of congratulations to be had! I don't think we've ever had so many BFP's all in one go like that 🤣

Congratulations again girls 😊😊 @MrsH47 @sophwolf @Fivebyfive2 @Tropicana1

Lots of updates to be done on my list! Hopefully I didn't miss anything

@cupcakesandglitter - sorry for af xx

dahlia123 · 01/05/2019 11:51

Opened up Mumsnet for the first time in a couple of days and it's so amazing to see all of the BFPs! Congratulations @MrsH497 @SophWolf @Fivebyfive2 and @Tropicana1 😊😊😊

@cupcakesandglitter hope the pain eases soon. Fingers crossed you body returning to how it was it a really good sign for next cycle.

Lottiepink · 01/05/2019 11:48

@Tropicana1 congratulations!! What a morning 🤣

@Keyboard91 so sorry for the BFN, take care and check in soon x

Chembecky · 01/05/2019 11:31

Congratulations for all the BFPs!! We can all start a Jan baby thread...haha

KatBeCool · 01/05/2019 10:51

@SophWolf @fivebyfive2 @Tropicana1 congratulations, such great news for you!

@Keyboard91 take all the time you need to take care of yourself, it's most important.

MrsH497 · 01/05/2019 10:43

@Marleym28 my symptoms were odd felt like I had a cold coming bit grumpy, but didn't have any of this until literally maybe 3 days before my bfp (that still doesn't feel real)
Then got bfp and nausea has whacked me in the face today

Marleym28 · 01/05/2019 10:36

@MrsEG that's true, it's still early doors!

All- question- I'm 6dpo not really any symptoms (that couldn't be other things).
Today, I'm being a ratty cow. I had a great workout this morning, slept well, works ok, just few super pms'y.
I can tell I'm being short and niggly (so purposely avoiding people as it's not their fault).
Anyone encountered this? Or is it me just having an off day?

cupcakesandglitter · 01/05/2019 10:11

@MrsH497 thankyou ❤️ and yes!! Of course!! X

MrsH497 · 01/05/2019 10:09

Thank you @cupcakesandglitter hope more than anything you get a bfp really soon. I'm still all tearful (good luck me at work!) and excited and nervous

Can I stick around a little while longer I love it here and don't feel ready for a grads thread yet!

cupcakesandglitter · 01/05/2019 10:06

@MrsH497 I've read that symptom a lot so I don't think it's in your head!! Super happy for you 😭❤️

MrsH497 · 01/05/2019 10:04

@cupcakesandglitter sorry she's arrived but like you I think I would kind of almost be happy things were back to pre contraception days.

Think it's all in my head but I feel sick and my tummy feels all bubbly

cupcakesandglitter · 01/05/2019 09:53

Omg what the bloody hell is going on this morning?!

@Fivebyfive2 @SophWolf @Tropicana1 massive massive congratulations!!! Xxxx

Update from me (tmi) - so I've stood up and completely soaked through everything. AF is definitely here... I ALWAYS had really badly heavy and painful periods and then when I got the implant it all changed. The pros of the last cycle; I knew when I'd ovulated because of my clear change in EWCM, and going by AF I know now that I was right. I ovulated on CD13 which is a first for me, and this gives me a 14 day LP. I'm in so much pain I want to cry BUT I also feel a little at peace because I think this is the first time in two years since I've come off contraception, that I actually had a normal cycle. Maybe my period being as heavy as it used to is a good thing? I'm not sure. I don't know what to feel 😂

MrsEG · 01/05/2019 09:30

@MrsH497 Be wary of CB digi tests - they aren’t nearly as sensitive and I only ever got a BFP on those after AF was late so 15DPO. If AF is late then go for it but I’d never use those as an early test :) but a line is a line!! You are preggers!!

MrsEG · 01/05/2019 09:29

@Fivebyfive2 Yeah, I only ever told my boss but mainly as she is a friend and I also ended up needing time off at the last min etc. Have a fab holiday celebrating!!

@MrsH497 I’m no expert but I’d definitely avoid the rollercoasters!! Maybe see what google says about it? Hope you have a fantastic holiday regardless!

@MrsR16 Oh Hun sorry you had a scare but glad to hear everything is okay! As you say, that’s it now you’ll be panicking about everything until they’re 18!

@Marleym28 Don’t count yourself out at 6DPO! Unlikely to have any symptoms at all that early - there’s still plenty of time!

MrsH497 · 01/05/2019 09:28

Would I get a positive on a digi now? Hubby is still saying is it positive if the line isn't as dark so want it written in words for him x

MrsR16 · 01/05/2019 08:55

@MrsH497 definitely not. It's not worth the worrying! Trust me, you'll worry enough! 😂 xxx

MrsH497 · 01/05/2019 08:54

Thanks @MrsR16 that really helps. I'm not back in until tomorrow for 3 shifts before holiday but with Friday/Saturday nights I don't want to get hit or kicked xx

MrsR16 · 01/05/2019 08:51

@SophWolf that's a great line!! Congratulations!

@Fivebyfive2 OMG omg omg!!! I'm so thrilled for you!! I'd so recommend telling parents - both sets have been amazing. I had a scare yesterday and my mum was a godsend (as was work!). It's completely up to you though! Xxx

@MrsH497 I would tell work ASAP... the most important thing is you and your little bean! I was a special (never been regular) but I would have said something as soon as I found out. Again, it's completely up to you though xx

@Tropicana1 omg! Wow! That's a line for sure! Xx

What a morning!!! You ladies are awesome xxx

Fivebyfive2 · 01/05/2019 08:49

@MrsEG, thank you!! I can see us telling both sets of parents on Sunday to be honest, as we'll be seeing them in person and will probably not be able to hide it. With work, I'm thinking of trying to hide it still, but last time most of them guessed anyway, right from the start! Xx

Marleym28 · 01/05/2019 08:41

Oh wow era! MANY congratulations.
Just quickly checked my phone after the gym and saw all that! What a good start to the day!
I'm 6 days PO today, no symptoms so just don't think it's my time this month but that's ok.
Happens for a reason right :)

MrsEG · 01/05/2019 08:41

@SophWolf @Fivebyfive2 @Tropicana1 oh my god what a morning!!! Congratulations all of you, no mistaking any of those lines!

@Fivebyfive2 I told family with our second BFP and sadly did MC again and I’m glad they knew, they were a phenomenal support. They didn’t worry at all they were just so thrilled we were preg again! It was lovely to tell them. And just remember the odds are totally in your favour - I think I just got really unlucky! The chances of a successful pregnancy after one MC are really high :) wishing you a H&H 9 months!!
