Oh and wispa thanks for that :)

Yep, and AF wasn't due until today or tomorrow, so testing early really worked for me. I completely commiserate with the is it or isn't it a line limbo, I was going nuts from Friday to Monday. I waffled between being convinced I was preggers and convinced they were evaps. I suppose it's an argument for waiting, but I was too impatient.

I know wispa its such a waiting game!! I am also very impatient and just have to know if there is even a chance!! But I can totally see the benefits of holding off to test as long as possible.....I am just completely incapable of it!!

I am feeling less positive today due to lack of symtoms...I am a bit gassy this aft again..but that could be anything! I'm actually worried that I won't even have a definitive answer by Friday as that was D-Day when I wanted to know for def but will only be 11dpo and could still not really know by then!!!

11dpo is still quite early mama31 so it might help to move your goal post to avoid disappointment. I got a negative at 11dpo on a test that was supposed to detect pregnancy 4 days before period is due and when I got that result I was really upset. I thought that if nothing had appeared at 11dpo then I was 'out of the game' and it was a horrible feeling. You have put so much effort into getting your BFP this month and your excitement is so obvious to us all, so I would hate for you to feel that awful low that i did if you still don't get a BFP on 11dpo.

Hopefully you will get a BFP by Friday but just bear in mind that it will still be early days and that wanting a definite result by Monday might be more realistic. x x

Thanks writer I know you are right, I appreciate that a lot. I think I'm putting my hopes on friday coz that's when af would be due and also because I can't tell DH until I'm absolutely certain and was hoping to tell him on our date night fri night! I'm just being silly I know! But its like I have it all planned out....I'm so insane its not even funny!!!

But yes if no af of bfp by Friday then ill be sure not to get too upset and won't test again until Mon if still no af. Thankyou for your support :) are you feeling any better???

I'm feeling much better now thanks, no sickness for 5 days and I'm slowly starting to feel more human. I went back to work on Monday, which admittedly has drained me, but at least I feel like I'm back in the real world

When you do get our BFP you will be so, so excited you won't care how or when you tell your DH because it will be amazing whenever you do it. I told my husband over the phone whilst he was in the middle of playing cricket . I was just so, so excited to see that 2nd line that I had to tell him STRAIGHT AWAY! I absolutely screamed it down the phone because of how happy and excited I was!! Telling your DH that you are pregnant will mean just as much to him whether you tell him during a date or whether you tell him whilst you're doing the hoovering

It's nearly my moment of truth. I'll be testing Satarday if the Witch stays away. It's action night for me tonight can't wait to get my hands him. I've not D.T.D for a week. Due to feeling yukky and not in the mood. My. God. I must have been ill
Also Writer glad you're feeling better.

xx

I know you are right writer, very wise words. I suppose I just thought it would be perfect to tell him on our date, but he will be ecstatic regardless of when I tell him and I need to realise that things don't happen "perfectly" I'm just a bit of a dreamer lol

I just know how much this means to him, he has wanted to start ttc for years and I have always put it off prioritising well pretty much everything- career, finances etc and finally I am biting the bullet putting this first, he can't quite believe it and is so so excited about it. Just makes me want it so much more as I know how much happy and excited he is going to be!!

But I need to re-focus and realise it will happen when the time is right and when it does we will both be very happy :)

My BFP wasn't nearly as exciting as that writer. It wasn't a sudden 'OMG' moment but something that slowly dawned on us over a few tests spread over a few days. The first one was too faint and took too long to show to really count, then next day was still very faint, etc etc. We were both poring over these little sticks going 'can you see something there?' 'where?' 'just there' 'hmm...I don't know'. It was not terribly Hollywood

Ps glad to hear you are feeling better! Hope that's the worst of it over and you can begin to enjoy your pregnancy without the sickness :)

Haha Fox - that did make me laugh I was imagining you both analysing sticks and although it was funny it was lovely too

mama - I don't think I will ever be able to enjoy my pregnancy due to all my health problems. I'm classed as High Risk and am under Consultant Care who I had my first appointment with last week. They are concerned as to how my conditions may be affected by the pregnancy and also how my conditions /medication may affect the baby. I have been referred to a Foetal Development Centre for all future appointments and scans and will be meeting them for the first time in about 5 weeks. When I hit 24 weeks I've got to have monthly appointments with my Consultant and a scan every 4 weeks to make sure my body is coping and that the baby is ok. So, until a healthy and happy baby is born and I also come out of it unharmed I'm going to be constantly worried as opposed to enjoying it

Did I tell you I got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time last week? It was amazing x

yes, it wasn't quite what the movies had led me to expect.

Oh no writer that really sucks (to say the least). At least they're keeping a close eye on you.

Writer wow, that's sounds very stressful I hope everything goes ok for you!! But yes that is amazing hearing the heartbeat, your scan/heartbeat stories make me feel all happy inside :)

Fox.....I want mine to be like the movies...can you tell lol

So much for the dicky tummy going....all I've had is a salad and bit of toast today.....and that trapped wind/full feeling is back and giving me cramps again...eugh....horrible feeling!!!! Of course I'm thinking its related to a pos bfp! Lol

Well then mama I guess you'll have to wait until AF is seriously late so you get a definite result & do a test when DH isn't in the house!

Ours were the same way, fox! H knew I was testing early, and even though he had to leave for work before results were in he asked me to text him ASAP to say what was up. But we had spent the weekend umming and ahhing over the tests with I certainty at all.

I just did another couple tests for the hell of it and strong strong lines. There would have been no mistaking it had I writes until today, when AF was due.

Thanks Fox and Mama, it has been tough. This pregnancy has the potential to cause me a lot of health (and secondary lifestyle) complications so it is quite a tense time. We had a lot of pre-conception advise and counselling though so we knew the risks. All we can do is keep our fingers crossed for the perfect outcome and every time I look at my scan pictures I know the risks to me are worth it. What happens to me (if anything) doesn't matter so long as the baby is ok. The hospital have been fantastic and so thorough and I have complete faith that I'm in the best hands.

Needless to say, we only plan on doing this once!!

Writer, what's the underlying condition you have? Or is that a bit private? Don't answer if it is!

Awh writer, I hope you keep us up to date on your journey I so hope it all works out good in the end....and you get your bundle of joy with the least amount of complications possible!!

Wispa, is that the cheapies that are showing the strong lines now??? If I as having a 23day cycle like last time then af be due friday so I'd like to think I'd see I line by then lol but if not, I will keep hope until af arrives as who knows could be a longer cycle this time!!

Wispa - I have epilepsy and a yet undiagnosed condition with my heart. My heart doesn't function as well as it should do and I stopped my medication in order to have a baby - so they are concerned as to how it will cope with the added physical strain of pregnancy. I'm being kept a close eye on though. My epilepsy is stable at the moment but there is a very real risk of my seizures returning during the pregnancy - which although could cause problems in itself it also means I will lose my driving licence which would in turn put my job under threat too I'm under the care of a Specialist Epilepsy nurse who deals with pregnant women and I have my next appointment with her next weeks. I just have to keep having regular blood tests to monitor the levels of my anti-epilepsy drugs in my system as they can rapidly decrease in pregnancy, hence the risk of seizures.

But never mind, only another 26 weeks to go, fingers crossed it will all be fine

Hi girls can I just jump in a little, according to chart af due today/tomorrow, used opk's, ttc in days before and after, tested this morning but negative, do you think I could still be in with a chance?? No af signs at all and I usually do a week before. I'm driving myself nuts!!! Thanks for any advice x x

Awh writer that sounds scary but also sounds likr you will be so well supported also!!!!

Missvaughan hello! I know how you feel!! Lol but according to these ladies on here who have way more knowledge than me re ttc....its not over til af comes and bfps can happen much later than expected! So keep positive it could happen!

Hi missvaughn whatever chance you are hoping for there are quite a few of us hoping for the same, so I'd say yes you're in with a chance! Good luck....
