Eeek!! I see the line!! Congratulations Smile

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 25/07/2012 20:15

I can see the line. Grin

Congratulations I had a feeling this was going to go well.

redstrawberry · 25/07/2012 20:26

Thanks for reassuring me I wasn't seeing things. I'm hoping my luck passes on to you all. Will try a cb digi in the morning. Feel a bit calmer now.

The second line came up straight away within the 3min limit. I first thought it was a bfn and my heart sank and I thought nevermind there's always next month. And I was rinsing the cup and had the left the test on the sink and the line came up :)

There were no symptoms except tingly boobs and cramps. So even if you get no symptoms theres always a chance of a BFP.

I had promised I would share what we did this month. I took epo - 2000mg and dtd EOD around OV and after OV. I stressed and obssessed for the whole 2ww. So 'relaxing' is clearly not what helped this bfp. Read 6 books in a month. And drank wine.

redstrawberry · 25/07/2012 20:28

Dh is grinning like an idiot. We both are.
He's having some beer to celebrate.

kiwi5 · 25/07/2012 20:36

redstrawberry · 26/07/2012 08:09

redstrawberry · 26/07/2012 10:07

Aww...Thanks guys. I am going to lurk around here too scuba
I just had a quick scan of the Antenatal threads - scary stuff...

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 26/07/2012 11:03

Hi red really pleased it's a huge BFP this morning. What's happening on the anti antinatal threads [nosey]

KickTheGuru · 26/07/2012 11:34

Ah big congrats red :)

Yeh whats happening on ante natal threads?

redstrawberry · 26/07/2012 11:43

Thanks kick and whenshewas

few mc :( and lot of symptom spotting going on.
Seeing as I don't have any symptoms apart from tingly boobs :) I am staying off there. I am not complaining abt no symptoms :) blissfully enjoying just the tingly boobs. Besides they start at 6 weeks.

I guess I was insane for symptom spotting earlier on as I had a faint BFP yesterday so most likely wasn't going to feel anything.

KickTheGuru · 26/07/2012 11:52

That's me theory though :)

Yeh stay off those threads, I would. Bask in the glory of it. I would be in absolute bits I must be honest. I would rush out and buy "What to Expect when you're expecting" and see if I can make bloody make SURE it sticks!!

We decided to carry on TTC this month. I should OV in early August. We figure my body wouldn't let me get pregnant on the other side when I was ill, so if its not ready now, it won't let me either.

There is a whole lot of mathematical equations and logic that are going behind this decision but we both feel that I am comfortable with the diabetes and we both are sure that the hba1c will be either at target or slightly above. If it is slightly above, from yesterday when they took the blood and based on the idea that I fall pregnant first time around (unlikely), I will have a total of 4 additional weeks to bring the hba1c down so that it doesn't interfere with any organ growth.

I am feeling confident that my levels will be fine though. They dropped 3.6 points in 2.5 weeks. It's been about 5 weeks since my last test and my overall levels have halves since my first tests. I need to drop another 3.5% at minimum in 5 weeks (excluding the additional 4 weeks - so it would be a total of 3.5% over 9 weeks)

redstrawberry · 26/07/2012 11:59

Haha great mind things alike! This morning I swapped my Amazon basket with What to Expect instead of OPKs :)

Kick if its any encouragement - a friend of mine was pregnant and diagnosed with diabetes (not sure what type - but she pretty much vomitted and fainted and had to be taken to hosp by an ambulance - spent a few nights there) in her third trimester and she had to take insulin shots and bring the levels down like you. She managed to do so before entering her last few weeks. Her lovely dd is now 3.
