Anyone just starting the TWW?

@Bumpingalong84 oh bless you. And your friend 💕 one of my friends I told has been through a rollercoaster with her own fertility. But she'd be gutted if I didn't tell her because of that. And she was thrilled for me. She's also very supportive of my anxiety etc.

I'm the same re: family. I think it would just be a lot of (albeit well intended) pressure on me/us xxx

@Alice8688 ohh bless you. I woke up feeling hungry and a little icky so will see what the rest of the week holds. Still can’t believe I got my bfp.

I’ve told my best friend and also a good friend who also had a miscarriage in March. She’s now 14weeks so very supportive with all pregnancy anxiety post miscarriage. I just told my boss this morning too but plan to tell family as late as possible.

@Bumpingalong84 it is exactly like a hangover! At the minute I'm still constantly hungry but can't stomach anything. 😣
I've told my 2 best friends. Because they'd also know if anything went wrong. I haven't told my mum or any family yet! I've made a docs appt for next week. So that may make it more real!

Have you told anyone? How you feeling today? X

@Bumpingalong84 ah fantastic - so strange how all bodies are different. Kind of a good thing with no symptoms so you can go about your days as normal 👌🏻 eek yes that may be hard. We have a few family events coming up which could be interesting if BFP. Would be so much easier if we never drank and were unsociable, hey 😂

Haha fair enough @Gigi318 not many symptoms no. Just tender boobs. With my first little one I had no symptoms till 6 weeks! I have a big weekend this weekend! A family wedding and we’ve decided not to tell anyone due to a mmc at 12 weeks in May and that will be hard as they all know I like a glass of wine or 3

@Bumpingalong84 are you having any symptoms yet? Thanks, I'm planning on waiting - if I had a FR here I may be tempted. But I really don't want to overcomplicate it at the moment. Plus I have a big weekend next weekend, and I don't think I can handle a BFP before that (bizarre I know) so I'd rather wait!

Ahhh 😩 that’s awful @Alice8688 I had a friend who had that twice and it was just horrible watching her be so ill. Luckily I only had nausea with DD but it was crippling for a few weeks I couldn’t eat a thing. That constant hangover feeling too it’s vile. Really hope you don’t get it again as bad 🤞🏻 I still can’t believe I got 2-3 weeks!!

Have you told many people?

@Gigi318 hold out as long as you can, I’m terrible as soon as I hit 8dpo I want to start peeing on sticks and find it hard to stop 🙈

@Alice8688 @Bumpingalong84 So exciting ladies! Pleased for you both.

Well, this is why I'm wondering if I could be - as I've been feeling quite nauseous and never feel like this. Pinching/cramping Monday & Yesterday. Backache today. All very new and bizarre.

I don't want to test too early, just in case. I have CB early detection already here (before I knew what I was doing/joining the forum) so will use these before getting FR. So I'm thinking wait til next weekend. If I can!

So sorry @Gigi318 !! I didn't see your comment I was 9/10dpo for frer pos and 10/11dpo for digi. (I have 2 apps and they are a day out with ov predictions!

@Bumpingalong84 I had HG with my 2 DC. It's savage! I know I'm likely to get it again but holding out hope for less sickness. The boobs though: I'm with you there! 😣xxx

@Alice8688 yeah completely nice, was still paranoid it was going to say not pregnant so was a bit shocked to see the 2-3 come up.

Feel ok, I was knackered last night and fell asleep watching the bake off and my boobs are fuller and sore but otherwise ok. Just this bloody spotting that’s got me all anxious now 😩

Ahh sickness, I had that with DD from 6-16weeks and it was horrid. Hope it’s not too bad, get some plain biscuits to keep to hand.

@Gigi318 I got my positive with a frer at 9dpo! Good luck, how you feeling?

That's amazing! It's so nice to see in writing isn't it?? How are you feeling? I've felt sick all damn day. But partly anxiety I think. X

Oh @Alice8688 @Bumpingalong84 - sorry to jump in, but reading your latest posts has filled me with happiness HUGE congrats. How many dpo were you both when testing? I'm in my TWW around 8pdo but trying to hold out until AF due to test 😬

Well by last AF 18th May, by my ovulation calculation the 21st. Tho my DD was nearly 4 weeks early, so I feel if this works out it might be a little earlier!

Were your DC on time?

I’ve had some very light pink spotting this afternoon, got me all nervous and anxious 😢 tho the digital threw 2-3 out so that was a shock!!

How you feeling today.

That's an amazing line! 🥰🥰 congrats!

It would be round about 21-23rd May. What about you? X

It’s so exciting isn’t it. I’m just so petrified after our mmc. So so anxious.

I’ve had a few mild cramps, and my boobs are very tender which I never get, they are fuller too. But otherwise that’s it.

Have you worked out your due date?

Bless you! It's so hard not to be a bit crazy. The days/weeks drag!

I have more had a lack of symptoms! Even though I was sure af was on her way (sore boobs, moody as Merry hell etc) I realised I hadn't had the awful period pains. I get them exactly 7 days before she comes for 2 days. And they're awful. But none this month. I think what's why I tested.

Also my husband is more impatient than me and asked me to do another test.... I can't quite believe it. But I am calmer now.....

Haha I know I have a DD who’s nearly 4 and I was far more laid back with her. The last time I test so much, didn’t seem to change the outcome so want to try hard to be chilled this time. Easier said than done.

Do you have any symptoms?

@Bumpingalong84 I know 🤣 it's only because the line yesterday was darker than I ever got on a frer with dc 1&2. And they both showed positive on a digital with fainter lines. But I know it's not an exact science.

I know! I only did 2 tests with dd 11years who. 1 x frer and 1 x digi. With my son 5 years ago I did about 10! You're right about the rollercoaster! Xxx

@Alice8688 you are brave to do a digital. They are not really sensitive and it’s super early so don’t be disheartened. Give it till the end of the week and test.

I’ve done another clearblue this morning with FMU and it’s a nice clear line so will give it another few days and probably test again. Tho really we shouldn’t have to, we have our bfp’s so it’s just a wait and watch now. Told DH it’s like we’ve got on a roller coaster again 😬

Ps @Bumpingalong84 I'd be thrilled with that line 🥰🥰 congrats my lovely!!! Xxxx

I did a digital this eve. And was negative. 😔 I was 9dpo yesterday. And ov is based on opks, app and me feeling that I'd ovd. So scared to test again. That frer was late afternoon with fairly dilute. Xx

Tested this evening with a dilute wee and it’s not a sensitive one so pretty pleased with this line considering. I’m feeling so anxious so fingers crossed for sticky beans for both of us 🤞🏻

That’s defo not a false positive and looks like a pretty strong positive to me! How many dpo are you? Could you have ovulated early? I know I’m only 10dpo cos I used clear blue ovulation sticks.

@Bumpingalong84 thank you! I'm so scared it's not real. I'm due af Saturday. So it's so early. I'm worried it'll be a false positive or a cp 😭 xx

Eeeeek how exciting mahooosive congratulation. So so pleased for you that’s a fab line 🙌
