Early BFPs

Hi everyone! Thought I’d start this thread to see what interest there was 🥰
I’m only today BFP (digital) but already chatted with so many others who are the same this month and feeling a bit anx about the next few weeks (with it being so early).
I don’t want to fill up the other threads so thought this may be helpful especially because while sometimes encouraging, I also know how heart breaking it can be when there are so many announcements.
So I’ll start us off and hope someone comments 🤣
I’m 30 - first baby (weird not to say TTC)
13 dpo
partner doesn’t know yet so already busy planning how to tell him over the weekend 🫣🥰 he’s currently out watching the footie!

@Yolo23 ah no how confusing for you 😩 it’s so hard all of the unknown isn’t it!

Aww that’s so cute 🥰 yeah I think we would tell my parents but no one else until the scan! A wedding will be amazing.. it is literally the best day ever, I was so sad when ours was over! 🤣

Yeah I’m gonna do some cleaning now then decide if I’m gonna bail or not 🤯🤣🙈 xx

Yolo23 · 21/01/2023 11:39

@Laul89 well ive decided to put a tampax in 🙈😂 it’s sort of started again.. so strange! I’m just gonna assume that I am on AF and wait and see what happens.

ooooo I think I’d have to bail and test 😂🤣 so lovely that you have something planned - yeah I told my partner the next day (as he was out out the day I found out 😂)… wrote a little poem and had a pic of our dog with the test 🥲 obviously I wanted to tell him straight away but I won’t be telling any family until a scan if we ever get lucky! We are trying to plan a wedding for next year so all this uncertainty is hard to plan around 😂

I’ve just been cleaning like a mad one today! Feel so much better but still no pains xx

@Yolo23 it does sound strange that you’re having that little stop start bleed… fingers crossed it is implantation and like you say it
may just be lingering for you with the endometriosis!! If you have no AF symptoms then that’s always good!!

The cramps and fullness seem to have disappeared since I got out of bed and have been to the gym 🤔 I haven’t had a wee since 9am so I’m in two minds whether to hold till 1ish and test 🙈 then maybe do a week digital tomorrow if it’s positive before telling my husband. I have something small prepared for him and would hate to do it and then start bleeding but I guess that’s just the risk you take isn’t it! And of course I would tell him anyway if I didn’t give him the little gift and the bleeding started after a BFP! Or do I just wait till tomorrow?! Omg I’m so indecisive in normal life it’s unreal and this is not helping 🤣🙈 I’m going to my friends for some food at 4 so that would take my mind off testing if I don’t today 🥴

Do you have any plans? xx

Yolo23 · 21/01/2023 08:55

@Laul89 ohhh bloody Nora! This bloody TWW 🤣 I’m even more confused today as wiping and there’s nothing.. I do have endometriosis which could mean implantation makes a bit more of a bleed for me but secondly when I’m due on AF I know about it very soon after or before as I’m in agony - I’ve none of that yet so god knows!! I did feel a fullness in my belly this morning as if AF is coming sometime but figured that could have also been from stuffing my face like a 🐷 last night 😂

I think it’s a good idea to wait and test tomorrow… kudos to you because that is proper WILL POWER 👊 fingers crossed it doesn’t arrive today… or at all for us both 🤓 have you any plans to make today go quick?? X

OP posts:
Laul89 · 21/01/2023 08:21

@Yolo23 how strange?! How are you doing this morning?

I’ve woken up feeling crampy again like AF is really coming 🥴 why am I so scared to test?! I woke up at 5.30am and had a wee without even thinking so I’m gonna see how the day goes and probably wait till tomorrow now… so on edge thinking AF is gonna arrive today 🥺😩

Yolo23 · 20/01/2023 21:08

@Laul89 thank you! Food was delicious, and such a nice evening.

weirdly enough, I’m now not doing anything 😆🤣🤣 my bloody body! Honestly, so bizarre… will have to just wait and see 🫠

let me know if you decide to brave it tomorrow! Xx

OP posts:
Laul89 · 20/01/2023 19:48

@Yolo23 oh no 😭 so sorry! You’re not truly out till AF arrives properly so fingers crossed it’s just something weird your body is doing! 😩🤞🏼

Thank you so much! I will keep your updated 🥺🤞🏼✨ Hope you enjoy your meal! x

Mummyo1 · 20/01/2023 17:34

@Yolo23 implantation?!

Yolo23 · 20/01/2023 17:03

Oh no it’s more pink 😬😞🙈 @Laul89

Id say 90% certain I’m going to be out in the next 24 hrs 😭 but hey ho! Let’s see and atleast I’m not expecting anything now so expectations are managed….

OP posts:
Yolo23 · 20/01/2023 17:01

@Laul89 hahaha b&m is a firm favourite of mine too! Luckily we’re out for a meal this evening and then a bit of a quiet day tomorrow so I’ll be on edge but we’re off away for a night on Sunday…

yeah! I’ve felt a few times as though oh that’s bloody AF and then absolutely nothing! We only managed to DTD twice at the right time this month mind you… but the only time I had a BFP was the day before and day of ovulation - this was the same thing month so really hoping… although I am currently messaging you while on the toilet 🤣🤣🤣 and afraid to wipe!!!! Lol.

I would go with FMU if I were you as it’s just far more concentrated.. I hope you get a BFP my lovely!!!! Really hoping and praying for you ❤️✨

OP posts:
Laul89 · 20/01/2023 16:49

@Yolo23 ah yes well if your calculations are right then there’s still time! 🤞🏼 definitely test again on Sunday!!!

Yeah I’m the same, got that full/heavy feeling like AF is gonna arrive but it’s so much less than I felt it on Wednesday! I’m the same I’ve been to the toilet so many times I can’t even count just to check 🤣🙈

I’m at a gym class tomorrow morning and I’ll see where we are following that 🫣 do you know if it would still have to be first morning urine or would it not matter at this stage?

I’m going to b&m to take my mind off testing tonight 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

Mummyo1 · 20/01/2023 15:51

@Yolo23 I'm sorry that's happened to you. I'm 27 and TTC baby number 2. To me it sounds like you had a chemical pregnancy, so common and so heartbreaking. Sending you baby dust and enjoy your holiday 🩷

Yolo23 · 20/01/2023 15:35

@Laul89 i can tell because it’s like talking to myself 🤣🤣😅

so I tested this morning just because I felt AF may be on its way and I wanted to see - obviously BFN but if it was implantation… like last time I didn’t get BFP until 13dpo - I’m only 11 today and last time at 11 I was BFN - as it is, I have piles of cheapies here! So I figured why not. I want to manage my expectation where possible - more to know if I’m negative than wishful thinking that I’m positive!

I’ll leave it now until maybe Sunday as that’s when I would be 14dpo… eeeek! I’ve still got this feeling I’m gonna come on early but every time I go to the toilet I have a different experience 😅🤣 it’s so bizarre. I’d definitely be testing tomorrow if I were you! ✨✨🤞

OP posts:
Laul89 · 20/01/2023 15:16

@Yolo23 thank you! 🥰
Oh you just never know do you… it’s so hard looking into every little tiny sign!! Fingers crossed for you!! 🤞🏼✨ When do you think you’ll test or are you planning to wait for AF?
You still have a few days if that was implantation signs so hopefully 🤞🏼

I have a drawer full of tests upstairs but just trying to ignore them and get through each day.. however if I don’t come on tomorrow I think I can technically class myself as ‘late’ and do a test either tomorrow or Sunday! It’s daft but I just feel so scared to test… cos if it’s negative I’ll be devastated and if it’s positive I’ll be so worried I’m going to start bleeding. I’m a huge worrier and overthinker.. can you tell 🤣🙈

Yolo23 · 20/01/2023 14:56

@Laul89 😂😂 my internet usage must peak during the last week of the TWW!!

eeeeeek!! I’ll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you.. I know what you mean about jinxing things - I’ve avoided walking over 3 drains all the years while TTC 😂🤣

so my situation is a bit weird! I had mild cramps over the past few days similar to the ones I had at implantation before my chemical however I’ve had brown discharge today (sorry TMI!) - not hugely similar to the implantation bleeding I had last time but as I have endo, normally if AF is due, I know about it… I’ve stopped having it now this afternoon and no pains so a bit worried that if it was implantation that I’ve done it too late again and if it does turn positive (which is unlikely I think this cycle)… then it won’t stick anyway! AF due for me on Monday so whoooo knows is where I’m at right now! Like you just hoping it stays away… sometimes I feel I’m coming on, and then there’s nothing. So bizarre!! 🥸🥸🥸

Laul89 · 20/01/2023 14:24

@Yolo23 hahaha I’m exactly the same and my google takes a massive hit as I search for everything that could be a symptom 🤯

How are you doing? CD33 for me and still no AF 🫣 scared to even say it incase I jinx it 🤣 I’ve looked back through my past cycles and there was twice last year where I came on the day after day 33.. which is tomorrow. Praying I don’t!!!! 🤞🏼

Ive had some AF type cramps, particularly on Wednesday and I definitely thought AF was on her way! Everytime I go to the toilet I’m terrified to wipe 🤣🙈 I’m cracking up!

Any signs for you? 🤞🏼✨

Yolo23 · 17/01/2023 22:43

Sorry sunday that was meant to say - not Friday!

OP posts:
Yolo23 · 17/01/2023 22:43

@Laul89 heeey! Ahh no worries - I’m the same normally 🤣 I seem to on and off here at the same time each month lol… as AF looms, I seem to spend more and more time researching and being active on here and then during AF I go MIA 🥷

im doing good too thanks! Hardly any symptoms this month so not quite sure and only DTD twice in the period (but definitely in the ovulation period as my digital said so!)

I’m due AF on Monday 😅 so we are quite similar! Same as you though.. I’m gonna try and avoid testing until perhaps Friday which I’ll then do just to manage my expectations perhaps… keeping my fingers crossed for you!! Have you got a busy week to keep you distracted??

OP posts:
Laul89 · 17/01/2023 21:04

@Yolo23 Hey! Sorry I totally missed your replies and then it popped into my head.. 🙈 how are you doing?!

I’m doing ok.. AF is due anytime between now and Saturday 🫣 CD30 for me and my cycles fluctuate between 30-33 days… the wait is KILLING me. Have really wanted to test but just want to miss AF first.. I’m almost there so keeping everything crossed! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Where are you in your cycle now?! xx

Yolo23 · 13/01/2023 19:54

@Laul89 how are you getting on? Xx

Laul89 · 07/01/2023 12:25

@Yolo23 woohoo hope you managed to BD! I’m the same I can never be bothered in the evenings most of the time but needs must and all that 🙈🤣

Fingers crossed your results don’t take too long to come, I’m sure everything will be fine 🤞🏼🥰

I’m not really that sure about signs and symptoms… I’m a bit like you where I start to wonder if I’m making them up! I did have some shooting pains in my boobs last night but only for an hour or so. And I’ve had a lot more EWCM this month which is interesting. CD20 now… so the TWW officially begins according to Flo, it’s telling me the earliest
to test is Jan 22nd 🫠 why does that feel like it’s 6months away 🤣 I think we will still carry on BD every other day for a few more days at least cos I’m worrying I ovulate late and I’m missing it 😳

@Laul89 we did! Even though my partner said he had a dodgy tum… I was like ‘massage time!’ 😂😅 I’m a bit confused with my digital test today as yest was flashing smiley and today I couldn’t do another test as it was still flashing smiley - From reading it looks as though it continues to display until it detects the surge but I’m not sure how it does that if I’ve taken the test out and can’t do another 😂 last time it was easy as it was negative and then a full blown smiley - which means ovulation is 24-48 hrs away… will have to see what happens but from my previous experience, I seem to have ovulate quickly after high ovulation sooooo best try to do the deed again tonight! A bit frustrating as I’d like to know for definite 🤔🤔🤔

Ooo you’re CD20 .. I’m currently CD 14 so not far behind 🫣🤣 hoping for a NY miracle for us both!

Im definitely still never testing too early but a day before AF or on the day it’s due is fine for me mentally.

fingers crossed we can DTD every other after the next few days and the month will go by quickly!! Eeeeeek, xx

@Yolo23 Oh congratulations!!! 👏🏼 that’s amazing news! And definitely lots to take your mind off ttc - but you definitely have the right outlook - keep trying in between life happening and you never know! 🤞🏼✨

Yeah I’d probably try with the clear blue as it’s a bit easier to read and understand isn’t it! We have been using preseed this month, well we’ve used it twice so far! I’ve heard good things so thought there was nothing to lose 🤣 I had quite strong twinges in my back on one side last night which have gone this morning so I’m wondering if that was ovulation?!

Good luck with your smear - I also had abnormal cells in 2018 & had lletz treatment to remove them so I know the worry! 🥺

@beaniegirl82 good luck and fingers crossed! Keep testing every couple of days 🤞🏼

@Laul89 thank you so much! 🥰🫶

Smear was done and dusted - she seemed to take FOREVER this time but better to be safe and get as many cells as possible I guess 🤣

ive just used my digital ov test and I’ve a flashing smiley so highly fertile… going to have to make an effort to pounce on the partner when he gets back 😂 after food is never good with me - all I want to do is cuddle up and sleep lol.

any signs or symptoms from you at the moment?? I definitely had those twinges you mentioned before my BFP but also had them last month and it was BFN so god knows hahaha! I always find it reassuring to have symptoms regardless because it gives you that hope and encouragement.. I just hope they’re real half the time and not because I’m more prone to being extra in tune with my body! Xx
