Happy birthday CaptainMoll may you get a post-birthday BFP

AFM - I've been trying to get on here all morning but had people in the office and then had to go to a meeting and then had to buy coffee for colleagues...

Sooo... Tested this morning, OH took ages in the bathroom and then was running out the door and I had to yell for him to wait! As soon as the boxes turned pink, there was a line the second the control line appeared, which got darker and darker and is almost as dark as the control line.

POAS. BFP. OMFG. In total and rather at the fuss I seem to have pre-empted! Bit scared because of what happened last time, but getting more excited, especially as the line was so dark.

I have got my scan appointment through today - for Xmas eve! So pleased to have it done before the holidays.

All being well this means we will be able to go straight from the hospital to DP's parents and arrive with a photo. (It also means that we won't be able to go to DP's before Xmas eve which will mean I won't go bonkers through over exposure). I've also sorted my booking in appointment for 15 Dec.

AAAGGGHHHHH cross posted!

CONGRATULATIONS BRAVELILBEAR!

Yes! The Elderberries have another BFP success! What fantastic news!

Let's hope this is the start of another flurry of BFPs.

Oh brave that's amazing news! Massive massive congratulations, has made my day

Quod - that's me and you on Christmas eve! I'm having a private one, as they won't confirm my NHS one until after my booking in appt, which is on 28th Dec, so I won't have a scan until 28th at the absolute earliest. So am having bloods and nuchal scan on 24th, and all being well, we'll be breaking some lovely news to our families on Christmas day. My scan is at midday - am going to be shattered having flown through the night back from Bangkok, and having landed at 6am. Can't complain though.

Oh brave I just KNEW that you were pregnant.

I'm with Quod - in our group we seem to have a flurry of BFP's all at once so am hoping this is a good sign for those of your entering or in the 2ww!

Thanks Quod and to think I probably wouldn't have tested if it wasn't for the nagging encouragement of the Elderberries

Great news about your scan - what perfect timing!

Quite proud of our collective nagging actually

Thanks Janey on that basis alone, everyone here is going to make a fabulous mother!

Now the waiting game starts.

Hope there are more BFPs soon too!

Happy Birthday Captain!

Well done and congratulations lilbear!!

Quodlibet, you are right, thanks for sharing your experience. I think both DP and me need to calm down and get things into persepctive. We had a good talk last night which has cleared the air and I will try not to demand sex from him and take a more relaxed approach.

CONGRATULATIONS LilBear!

There will be several Christmas dinner Elderberry announcements

Thanks Hazle tho I'm not sure about Christmas dinner announcements for me... I think I'll be planning ways to avoid Christmas dinners over the next few weeks because everyone will be expecting me to drink and I'm really scared of announcing anything early after what happened last time.

So pleased for everyone who will be taking along scan pics to Xmas dinner though

I understand, haven't really told anybody either for the same reason.
Not drinking during dinners has not been a massive issue yet, I just take the car and say I'm driving or let them fill the glass and fiddle with it every now and then. If it's a bigger dinner, people won't notice you don't need refills.

Congratulations bear! How exciting! This really is a lucky thread. I've got my fingers crossed for Pipbin next

CONGRATULATIONS BRAVE!!!! What fantastic news! And to think you probably could have known a week ago

A huge congratulations Brave. Fantastic news. Lets hope this is the start of a new wave of BFPs for the Elderberries!

Thanks all - tis a bit weird. Still tbh. Yes, I could have found out a week ago, but am so stubborn I would never have tested early

I'm still not entirely convinced tbh... apart from slightly tender bbs, and not feeling amazingly hungry and feeling full relatively quickly when I do eat (and, now I think of it, I really didn't want a chippy last week so we had chinese instead), and, I suppose, I've been quite thirsty... But apart from all that (and the moderate on-off cramping for six days, which seems to have stopped now) I don't feel pregnant. I feel totally normal.

Think I may give in to the nagging voice and get a CBDCI to check on HCG levels...

Anyway..... enough of me me me! How's everyone else? Who's next?

If it helps I don't feel pregnant either for 98% of the time.
But pretty sure I am due to having taken about fourteen tests over the past three weeks

YES BRAVE!! Hurrah!! Well done! This is all going so well. all round and for everyone who can still drink it.
Elderberries rule.

Yaaaaaay brave!!!!
Think I might be next in the poas line. So scared

Hurrah Brave. How you managed to get to 16 DPO without testing I don't know!

Well two bfps with B names so I've changed mine! Haven't tried that yet

Happy Birthday Captain hope your OH is treating you :-)

OMFG Brave that is so exciting! So happy for you! Time for another bunch of BFPS me thinks (and hopes)

Lol when are you due to POAS? Who else due soon? Instead of saying when due to POAS, the pessimist in me says AF due 30th

Hi. Can I join you lovely ladies - I'm going a bit crazy not talking to anyone about all this stuff!! OH is sweet about it all but doesn't really get the POAS obsession

navis176 34, TTC cycle 2 after mmc (4th one - eek - I have bizarre chromosomes), BFP due 20 December

Congrats to those with BFPs and fingers crossed for everyone else...

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS brave!!!
Happy birthday captain. Fx for a bday bfp.
