I'm still numb and can't quite believe it! Is this normal? When will it sink in?

VJONES1985 · 09/12/2013 22:30

Thought you said that! How exciting!!! Have you told anyone other than dh of course?!

VJONES1985 · 10/12/2013 08:19

Is it normal to still have a IC line this morning that is very feint? It's fainter than yesterday's frer but think it's slightly darker than yesterday's IC. Oh god, need to calm down!

Congratulations Jones & Fatty!

Don't worry Jones - the lines vary in darkness, particularly if you're using different batches or brands.

Brilliant news! Thanks

Feelingfatty · 10/12/2013 08:34

Yes I've heard they can from batch to batch I wouldn't worry to much! (Says me peeing on another test to compare!!)

Feelingfatty · 10/12/2013 08:35

And thanks last one

Felyne · 10/12/2013 08:42

Congratulations!
It can take a while to sink in!
I sometimes caught myself wondering whether I should believe the pregnancy test or not ("was it really positive?") and then I realised that I had a newborn baby so yes it was...Wink

DearDinah · 10/12/2013 11:49

Congrats both Thanks

VJONES1985 · 10/12/2013 18:55

Am I ever gonna stop taking pg tests?? Lol. I'm just so anxious!!

OP posts:
Feelingfatty · 10/12/2013 19:24

V jones I would do another tomorrow(I'm going to!!) then stop and do another at the end of next week just to make sure it's still positive but it will be :)

Writerwannabe83 · 10/12/2013 19:34

I was still taking pregnancy tests about a month after my initial BFP Grin

There was just something so reassuring about seeing that second line!!

I'd take one now if I had one, lol Grin

Feelingfatty · 11/12/2013 08:27

How did it go today v jones? Nice dark lines?? Mine have got much darker today so no more tests for me (although going to buy some conception indicators to see it going up over next few weeks!!Grin) good luck xx

SoMuchFruit · 11/12/2013 09:56

Just saw this on another thread and had to come straight over to congratulate you!

Yaaaay! Thrilled for you Thanks Xmas Grin

VJONES1985 · 11/12/2013 12:35

Yay, Congratulations!!!! Grin

Feelingfatty · 11/12/2013 14:39

Isn't that what those ones are called that tell you how far along you are? That's my last test now as I have (sort of) accepted its real!

mama31 · 11/12/2013 15:16

Major congrats Vjones!!! There's a msg for you on the party thread! So pleased for you! Just a question did your cycles or LP get longer?? Or did they sort themselves out? Just I'm spotting still, LP 10 days and hoping this isn't the issue for me!

mama31 · 11/12/2013 16:01

Just hoping I get the same happy ending VJ! Brill news for you! X

VJONES1985 · 11/12/2013 16:38

Mama - well,for the first three months my LP was seven days, then in month four it was 11 days. This month I tested around 10 dpo and it was positive. Am now 13 dpo (I think).

OP posts:
mama31 · 11/12/2013 16:42

That's great to hear! I've stopped all the b6 etc so just letting it all settle itself and I think I have 10 or 11 day LP so will just assume it's not a problem now and let nature take its course!!! I'm impatient though so easier said than done!

H&H 9 months to you lovely! X

VJONES1985 · 11/12/2013 16:47

Mama - I was on b6 for month and it made no difference at all. My LP seemed to sort itself out and, judging from pains, implantation was 9dpo.

mama31 · 11/12/2013 17:25

Thanks VJ good to know!!! :)

VJONES1985 · 11/12/2013 17:28

Do you know how long it takes for hcg to appear in urine? Am trying to work out when implantation actually happened...

OP posts:
mama31 · 11/12/2013 23:23

No clue VJ! I'm pretty useless with the real technical bits....dtd at the right time, opks and taking vits is as far as I know! I "think" it takes about 2 days to show on a test from implantation so if showed up on dpo 11 you may have ovulated on 8dpo, but I'm not expert just what I've learned from reading the bus threads!
