Early BFPs

Hi, does anyone want to come and keep me company? Currently ttc#3 and I don’t know how many dpo I am as my cycles have been a bit unpredictable for the last year but I’d say between 8 and 12 dpo at a guess. I had a chemical in September and a miscarriage at about 6 weeks in early November. This month has been the first month we started trying again and I wasn’t going to test early but after feeling knackered and iffy all weekend I did an impulsive test last night before bed and got the faintest squinter ever. This morning I tested again and got a faint but definitely there positive that my phone camera managed to pick up 😬.

I don’t even want to tell DP yet as the last 2 BFPs didn’t stick. I don’t know what do do with myself today in between homeschooling and the kids have picked today to be really motivated and not needing much help from me.

@Secretsquirrelisfedup they are 10ml/U but it wasn’t with fmu, just a few hours hold.

I do have one frer I was planning on keeping it until I’m actually a few days late though! I’m CD31 today. Last month my cycle was 28days but the month before it was 33! Not sure what to think!

@Hoplop you have more willpower than me Grin

Thanks to everyone keeping me sane through this! Nobody knows and I don’t dare let myself think it might actually happen!

@Hoplop I can totally understand that. Have you had many symptoms?

@Leonberger yes it’s with FMU, the strips I’ve been using are also similar sensitivity to FRER I think. Your line still looks good to me to say you’re not due on for a couple of days. Do you know what sensitivity your strips are?

OP posts:
Leonberger · 05/02/2021 10:58

@Secretsquirrelisfedup that’s a really good line! Is that with FMU?

Heres mine from this morning, still quite faint!
No real symptoms at all either today-stressful!

After not having tested for a couple of days, I’m now too nervous to do so in case it hasn’t progressed from a faint one Blush

Wow what lovely strong positives @daisyorange2 and @Lisyloo725. How are you feeling today @rosegold33? Are you planning on doing any more tests?X

OP posts:
daisyorange2 · 05/02/2021 09:48

Thank you so much @Lisyloo725! Just the words I need to hear. Wow lovely progression on yours too. Mine from Tuesday was pretty much a tiny squint and now it’s almost same as control line.

I think I’ll go for a scan as early as possible and thank you for your advice.

Happy and healthy 9 months to you xxxx

Lisyloo725 · 05/02/2021 09:44

Hey @daisyorange2 - they are indeed great strong positives, especially the ones which don’t use first thing in the morning wee!
I’d say you can stop testing - and if you’re anxious try and have an early scan - and if you have any bleeding contact an EPU - but all is looking good - time to relax!

I only say this because this is what I plan to do.
AF is due today. And here are my tests from this morning (bottom) and three days ago (top).
I’m happy with my progress and consider it a stride in the right direction unless any bleeding begins in any form.

You too @rosegold33! Really trying to find my inner zen but ofc terrified after 2 previous losses. I do feel reassured by my lines. I’m 11DPO today. My DH asked me when the worrying stops, I said erm, 18 years maybe? 🤣

Hope you’re all ok ladies xx

rosegold33 · 05/02/2021 09:14

Congrats @daisyorange2

daisyorange2 · 05/02/2021 09:09

Morning @Secretsquirrelisfedup - lovely dark line!

I woke up quite anxious and did another test too. Top is yday afternoon, middle is last night before bed and bottom is this morning. (Pls don’t judge my mental testing!)

Do we think it’s safe for me to stop yet? I have never had positives like this before. For comparison, attached a pic of faint lines at 13 & 14 DPO last month.

I feel so grateful and I really hope this is it for us all ladies x

Good morning lovely people. How are you all doing today? I did another quick cheapie this morning and the line is definitely getting darker at a decent rate Grin

@Leonberger I had the same thing when last pregnant, boobs hurt on every monthly cycle but the month I was pregnant they stopped hurting at about 3 weeks from conception, they did grow large and heavy though quickly by week 6

rosegold33 · 04/02/2021 19:05

Congrats everyone.

Im 11dpo. Bfp today, fairly faint but im taking that and hoping it sticks.
Baby #3 for us. I wont tell dh until i know for sure.

Lisyloo725 · 04/02/2021 19:01

That is a great line for 10dpo @daisyorange2!
My 10dpo was super faint and took the whole 3min to show anything. Poss tmi but I did it with ‘cold wee’ - my son woke me at 3am hence I needed to pee so used a trusty IKEA plastic beaker (promise I’ll not use it for drinks now haha!) and did the test by dipping at a more godly hour (6am!) I’m excited for doing another test tomorrow!
@Secretsquirrelisfedup I’m with you on the knackered boobs front! Mine have felt odd then not. Then sore on patches then fine.
I’m almost enjoying the queasy feeling as it means good things 🤞🏼🤞🏼🙏🏻🙏🏻

@daisyorange2 some days we breeze it and I feel like Mary Poppins, this is usually followed by a day where it feels like pulling teeth and I feel like giving up. Overall it’s not terrible and I’m really proud of my DC for the work they’ve put in but I am so very very much looking forward to half term and I think teachers deserve a lot more money 😂.

OP posts:
daisyorange2 · 04/02/2021 17:18

@Secretsquirrelisfedup I'd say queasiness and being knackered are great signs!

This is our first baby so no homeschooling for me, I don't know how you mums are doing it!

@daisyorange2 that’s a brilliant line, especially for the afternoon.

My boobs aren’t bothering me at all yet but I did breastfeed two kids for far longer than I planned to so maybe they’re worn in 😂. I am feeling really queasy and absolutely knackered though. I’m struggling to get through the afternoons this week which is not helping the homeschooling.

OP posts:
daisyorange2 · 04/02/2021 16:34

@Secretsquirrelisfedup I don't feel too bad yet. My only symptoms to note would be waking up much earlier than usual, vivid dreams and sore nipples. Just did a FRER this afternoon, this line made me very very very happy at 10DPO!

What do you think?

Everything crossed for us both @Secretsquirrelisfedup

Im 90% sure I’m 10 DPO but could be 12 at absolute most. Crazy times but I hope it means good things for us both 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼Happy anniversary for Monday x

Thanks @daisyorange2. I don’t really know how many dpo I am exactly and if I go by the opks than I got a BFP ridiculously early as the first squinter would have been 7dpo. At a guess I am somewhere between 10 and 14 dpo, I think 12ish is probably accurate.

OP posts:
daisyorange2 · 04/02/2021 12:20

@Secretsquirrelisfedup massive congrats!! How many DPO are you now? We really are in exactly the same boat!
