Thank you barmy - and good luck to you if you do poas!

Sleepingstarsmommy · 21/01/2014 13:08

Barmy - any news?!?!

Well I've just taken my mom to the market and despite going to the loo just before we left I spent the entire time playing my legs. My mom even asked me outright are you pregnant again. So maybe I'll be getting my BFP positive this week but is more likely to be the 3 cups of tea I drank this morning

EnglishGirlAbroad · 21/01/2014 13:50

Oh exciting!! Barmy??!!
Welcome grey, hope this is a successful bus for you.

Funky, so sorry to hear your story and that you're back here, in the nicest possible way I hope you're not with us for long x

M33r, you're still around!! I only asked about you the other day, hope you're getting on ok.

Yeay sazzle, glad you've had it confirmed and enjoy telling dh!!!! Eeee, your news has really cheered me up and gives me hope! Thanks for sharing stats, looks like smep to me? And if no joy this cycle i'm seriously thinking about reflexology, your therapist has magic hands!!!

Sorry if i've missed anything, not had chance to catch up properly (supposed to be in a meeting now but slacking in the car!!! Lol)

Mama, you are always welcome hon ;) xx

EnglishGirlAbroad · 21/01/2014 14:38

I don't know if I'm imagining it! There is a good chance I am I think, but I am sure I can see a very faint pink line (superdrug test this time, not trusting any more sainsburys options!). I need to stop POAdamnS at every turn and leave it a few days to see... but I am so impatient!

Writerwannabe83 · 21/01/2014 14:40

Upload a photo!!!! Exciting!!!

mrsb87 · 21/01/2014 14:45

I want to see a pic barmy!

sazzlehopes · 21/01/2014 14:54

barmy i think you need to upload a pic! Grin And if you use the 'can you see a line?' site it will give you invert which i think shows up a faint one better x

spinningirl10 · 21/01/2014 15:03

Yes barmy post a pic!!

English well done, good price Grin

sazzlehopes · 21/01/2014 15:06

English well done on the cbfm - enjoy using it, i liked mine. It wasn't a miracle worker, but certainly made me more confident about when to start dtd eod (on the highs) and then when to really get going (on the 2 peak days!). Not cheap to use, but worth it to get your bfp and if you don't like it after a few months just sell it on, nothing lost! I bought my sticks off amazon.

mama31 · 21/01/2014 15:17

Get a pic up barmy!!!! Sazzle has it sunk in yet??

Greywacke · 21/01/2014 15:44

Barmy what is wrong with the sainsburys one? I'm holding you responsible for me going to get superdrug ones instead!! Wink

Anyone else noticed bras getting a bit snug? Have had to go back up a size...which seems like a good sign, either that or I have been eating too much!

sazzlehopes · 21/01/2014 15:48

Mama, no it hasn't sunk in at all! it feels amazing but so surreal at the same time, like it is happening to someone else! I keep checking my preggo test every 5 minutes to see that the result is still there. It's very distracting for getting any work done!
Can't wait for dh to get home so i can tell him!

mama31 · 21/01/2014 15:53

Awh sazzle! He is going to be so happy! I'd be the same....keep looking at the line to make sure it's still there haha! Well there's no denying your lines!! That has actually made me feel like not testing prior to 12dpo....which never happens...im always testing way too early! going to try and hold off this time and not test...spotting will start for me at 9/10dpo anyway so I should just hold off really as always know by then! Def considering reflexology for next month if I need it! :)

sazzlehopes · 21/01/2014 16:07

Mama, I think reflexology is worth a try - I was going to go for 3 months to see if it had an affect, i felt i could justify that financially. One session lasting an hour was £40. Not cheap, but £10 a week I was sure I could cut back somewhere. If anything it was a lovely massage, and an hour to myself to switch off which is so rare these days anyway! But she definitely found different points to 'work on'. Some felt nice, others uncomfortable, and then round my ankles which is apparently connected to your ovaries it was actually painful where i struggled to breathe through the pain and not scream at her?! Very odd as she didn't seem to be doing anything different or pushing harder - just obviously found something? I so hope for you and the rest of the old timers, spinning, m33r, onelife, imaginary, barmy etc you get your bfps very soon. It feels so good and I want you all to know what that is like!

mama31 · 21/01/2014 16:22

Thanks sazzle! I will Definately give it a go next month....hoping I won't need it though...really really hoping cycle 8 is the lucky one for me!!!!! Anyway then our babies would be born same month! ;) haha!!!

barmybunting · 21/01/2014 16:44

Ok, pics -
This was the sainsburys test from Sunday.

www.canyouseealine.com/view_home_pregnancy_test.php?testID=43933

And this is the superdrug test from today.

www.canyouseealine.com/view_home_pregnancy_test.php?testID=43931

I really can't see anything on the last one in the photo, I reckon I am seeing things.

But, tmi, sorry, my breasts are far bigger than normal and my nipples still won't go away, they have stood on end for about 5 days! I feel ridiculous...

I hope to goodness I'm not seeing things after what I reckon might be an evap on the sainsburys test as it looks funny!

mama31 · 21/01/2014 16:47

Definately something there barmy!!!!! I'd say that's your bfp!!!! Wow congrats!!!!!! :)

barmybunting · 21/01/2014 16:48

greywacke the sainsburys one just looks funny to me! It is a very strange line, the same width as the other line but almost invisible in the middle. It just doesn't look solid enough to me so I am worried it is an evap! I have heard bad things about the sainsburys tests, so with that one on Sunday I was just very wary! Pink dye ones are meant to be more reliable, but I don't know. You can never have too many tests anyway, so I reckon your purchase of superdrug ones is a good backup :).

Are you going to test soon? Good luck!

barmybunting · 21/01/2014 16:52

sleepingstars just read back! Fingers crossed for you, your Mum asking has to be a good sign, she will know how to react to pregnancy so her asking has to be a good sign, I hope this is it for you.

ImaginaryHat · 21/01/2014 17:16

Eeee barmy I do think theres a good chance that's a line!, i thought I could see something slightly right of centre and on invert I think I see it in the same place! You're in that horrible couple of days now where you just gonna have to wait it out and try again and see if anything darker appears. Good luck!

Sazzle you sound on top of the world, so exciting for you! Hurry up and get home Mr Saz were all waiting to hear your reaction!!

JennyOfOldstones · 21/01/2014 17:21

Massive congrats Sazzle what lovely, lovely news after all your waiting - it just goes to show that dreams do come true!! I am off to google reflexologists.....xx

Writerwannabe83 · 21/01/2014 17:22

I'm feeling excited Barmy - I definitely see something on the Sainsbury's test!! Grin Do you want to go on the BFP list when I update the stats later or would you rather wait until you feel more confident if you plan on testing some more?

Sleepingstarsmommy · 21/01/2014 17:26

Been out for coffee with a friend this afternoon and after my second trip to the ladies she asked me if there was something I wanted to tell her. That's my mom and my friend today so either I am upduffed or need to get tested for a UTI which is highly possible considering this months dtdathon Also on the drive home had a wave of nausea when I got a waft of the perfume Id tested in Next but it does smell horrid or it could be due to the 2 creme eggs I had just eaten Symptom spotting like crazy here Confused
