Morning ladies! It's testing day for me today. I know it's really stupid but I'm so nervous. I stopped doing POAS about 4 months ago because it was getting me so miserable every time I got a BFN. I vowed I wouldn't even order any more unless I needed to.... so I only have one left - it's a CB digital so there'll be no ambiguity.

I know it's really silly and doing a test doesn't make any difference to whether I'm pregnant or not, but I just can't bear the thought of another BFN Sad.

Thank you all for your lovely messages. I have my fingers crossed for you all too.

I'm starting to freak myself out reading stuff about chemical pregnancies now. I wish DP wasn't on a night shift, my mind is just racing! I'm just praying and hoping so much the little one sticks Thanks

@LouJ85

Is it normal to have what feels similar to period pains? Like a tugging / stretching feeling down below?
that's exactly how I remember it feeling early on with my little one, light cramps and a sense of stuff stretching and a bit twangy
Keepeas · 07/08/2020 18:30

Congratulations @LouJ85! 🤞 for more BFPs this month, it gives me hope anytime anyone on here gets one 😊

Wow congrats @LouJ85 that's a fab line!

LouJ85 · 07/08/2020 17:43

@FridaKFangirl

Wow *@LouJ85* Does that mean its not even FMU? That's a really strong line then! :)
Yep - not FMU, it was done about an hour and half ago! I had just woken up though and was bursting for a wee though , if that makes any difference? DP has just left for night shift on cloud 9, bless him. I'm left sitting here in shock trying to process it all!

Congratulations @LouJ85! xx

LouJ85 · 07/08/2020 17:27

@FridaKFangirl I came home from work today feeling a little nauseous and exhausted, thought I had a bug! I slept all afternoon and woke up and just had an instinct so I tested. We only dtd once, the day of my flashing smiley!

Thanks all - I'm in shock. It's been 14 years since I've been pregnant! Not sure if I should tell my DD yet as if anything goes wrong I don't want her to have to go through the heartache too... x

FridaKFangirl · 07/08/2020 17:16

Wow! Fantastic News @LouJ85 :) No squinting needed there! Did you have any symptoms?

LT103 · 07/08/2020 17:13

@LouJ85 😁😁😁 congratulations!!!!!!

mouldygrapes · 07/08/2020 17:10

Wow @LouJ85 - clear as a bell! Congratulations!!

LouJ85 · 07/08/2020 16:56

Omg!! I'm in some kind of shock. I'm only 11dpo and this is my 2nd cycle off the pill. Shock

Just managed to lure OH home with some pics 🤭
Hoping to get another one in tonight while my static smiley still there .
I used the concieve plus gel this time. Fingers crossed.
Couldn't stay lying down for to long after as I'm working from home and have a skype meeting now 😬

Hayleywoody82 · 07/08/2020 12:25

@Keepeas yes I get the heaviness to. But go the toilet more xx

Keepeas · 07/08/2020 12:24

I've recently noticed that I feel a bit constipated around ovulation time, but I think it's a heaviness that isn't actually bowel-related (if that makes sense)

Hayleywoody82 · 07/08/2020 12:05

Does anyones bowel habits change when there ovulating? I seem to go more 🤔
