Just got my Bfp 16dpo, wanted to share my story

Hi everyone.

I got my bfp today 16dpo! I was so shocked but thought I'd share my story :)

So 2nd cycle ttc but my 1st cycle was 71 days long!! It was soooo stressful, but then went back to normal this cycle and ovulation went back to as expected.

I used clear blue ov sticks and got my flashing face on CD 14 and solid face on CD 18.

We had sex on these days, CD 14 and CD 18. So only twice. No idea which day we conceived on but from the cramps and sore boobs I think I ovulated on CD 19.

I actually went away in the tww for a week and decided I would enjoy it and drink and eat what I want. (drank a lot of sauvignon, I cannot lie!)

The only things I have felt so far are really tender boobs on and off, but nothing different with nipples at all.

I've had the odd occasion where I've bent down and felt a twinge I've never felt before, like a little nudge or tug.

No nausea yet, sense of smell normal, eating normally no aversions.

Had period like cramps when I was due on probably CD 32 or 33 (2days ago) and lots of pms type symptoms.

If am honest I was 100% expecting my period to show, I even took pads away with me. The only thing that really was different was sore boobs (more so in left one) and the fact my period was Mia.

I even said to my OH this morning that my period could still come in a couple of days! But the bfp showed up within seconds :)

I am still so so shocked, but I was as stressed as others out there about the whole ttc journey, trust me!

Wishing you all the best of luck, health and happiness.

Anyone just got their bfp??

@Itsjustme20 thank you and good luck testing in a few days! X

@Eanrcs88 its mad how similar our stories are! Lol
I only took quite a few because i couldn't believe it!🙈 going to wait to weekend to test again to see the line progressing!

I do notice ovulation as i get pain but i have definitely not had any idea that i had implanted, had no pain since ovulation! Its still early days so symptoms i am sure will appear in the next few weeks!

Are you in the UK? Have you spoke to your gp yet? X

Itsjustme20 · 11/08/2021 21:04

@Eanrcs88 I don't know really as it was 3 different brands I got 3 faint positives on 🤷🏽‍♀️

Docs said to test again in 3/4 days and got to wait for 3 missed periods before they investigate.

I'm going to continue OPK testing and see what happens! Xx

@CTMcG

No way that's mad how similar our stories are!!! Congratulations!!

I am CD 35 now so we're in exactly the same boat!

I don't feel pregnant at all either. It was purely my slightly sore boobs and thought I might be a day late for my period!

I've only done 1 test so far, but the bfp came up before I finished peeing lol! Do you think I should do a couple more??

Also I think ovulation was slightly more noticeable this time. Was it for you? I felt I had a heavy dull feeling and sore boobs but could be a total coincidence!

@itsjustme20 that's really interesting! Do you think you've had false positives then? The long cycle was sooooo frustrating for me but I guess we're both proof that sometime you can have a wonky cycle and go back to normality straight away!! Wishing you all the best 💋

I find this really interesting ladies!

I'm on first cycle of TTC, have had 3 positives and a few negative tests. Currently CD42 but no AF at all yet.

I'm wondering if it's an unusually long first cycle like you both experienced! I'm so hoping I get a BFP during cycle 2 as well if it's not this time🤞🏼

Congratulations to you both! Xx

@Eanrcs88 sorry my head is up my arse. This is my 2nd cycle ttc and my first cycle was 79 days long! Haha

@Eanrcs88

When i read your first sentence i had to double take to make sure it wasn't my post!!!!

I am 10dpo and i got my bfp today! I too am in shock - its my first cyle ttc#1 and my last cycle was 79 days!! I am on cd34 today of 2nd cycle!

Dont even know why i tested as i do not feel pregnant at all! Apart from really bad heartburn on Monday and feeling like i was getting a cold when i woke up yesterday morning... that is it! No sore boobs, no nausea, no cramping!! In so much shock!! Xx
