Sorry for your loss muddled and FX that this is your month and that you have a happy and healthy 9 months :)

MrsS010814 · 19/08/2014 10:34

So... I have a BFP!

Hasn't quite sunk in yet. Been testing for past few days but got sick of trying to work out if it was a faint line or not so bought myself clear blue digital, and well, it was pretty clear! No ambiguity! Hurrah!

As I'm new to all of this, what happens now? Obviously a baby, but it mean where do you 'graduate' to?

JackieBrambles · 19/08/2014 10:44

Can I join in (very late!)?
I’ve been lurking for a while, it’s been so helpful and lovely to see all your updates (and BFPs of course!).

We are TTC number 2, this is my second cycle and I’m 37.

Am currently 9DPO (I think, it’s my first time doing OPKs but this is what FF thinks!).

When I was pregnant the first time it was just after coming off the pill so I was waiting for a period that never came. When I eventually tested I was 3-4 weeks on a clear blue so the only symptoms I had were PMT (sore boobs, bit of cramping).

Last few days I’ve had low back ache and a bit of breathlessness/nausea. Today nausea is definitely more. I also feel a slightly heightened sense of smell that I definitely got last time. Anyway I’m symptom spotting like a total loon and trying to work out when I can do a test!

AF due 25th August.

Congrats mrs s and welcome muggle.

Mrs s how long did u wait to test and what is any symptoms did u have. Cd24 here. Cycles usually 25 days so I think I'm close to knowing ....

ohlordyplordy · 19/08/2014 11:27

Congratulations mrsS.

Welcome muddled and jackie.

genni maGrat hope I can hold out to dpo12, but who am I kidding, will probs start testing dpo10 - I'm only dpo4!

ohlordyplordy · 19/08/2014 11:29

katy are you planning to test or wait for missed af?

Katybear123 · 19/08/2014 11:57

Hi oh Lordy I'm going to test thur which is day af due. Feeling sick but think nerves

Blueskygirl30 · 19/08/2014 12:49

Kyz I hope your AF or BFP come soon. It was really hard waiting 10 weeks for my AF to turn up after I had my implant out. Fortunately ai had it out in February knowing we wouldn't be TTC until June so it was just the uncertainty of whether my body would go back to normal or not.

MaMaPo no thank you to the 5ww! I think I'd go insane! But yay for the temp spike and the DTD dates sound pretty darn good!

Katy since we seem to be cycle buddies this month! I've been needing to pee loads more than normal today too! but then I wonder if it's because I've drank more and I'm causing the 'symptom' myself

Genni and Lucie I hope your tests give you some positive news or a way to get to positive news... But I'm hoping more that you both get BFPs before you go too far down that route!

I'm sorry for your loss Muddled hopefully your symptoms are another BFP on its way to you.

MrsSO10814 congratulations on your BFP!!! The words written infront of you must be so nice, no squinting at lines and twisting the test this way and that!

Welcome Jackie you can join the rest of us symptom spotters whilst you wait to test! I'm 9dpo too and plan to test on Thursday.

So, here I'm 9dpo and still symptom spotting like a nutcase. I've had cramps all day but they're weird low down cramps, like I've got a bruised cervix. I've also just noticed my nipples are darker than normal with a bright blue vein streaked across my boob and nipple, I actually thought I'd somehow got blue biro pen on me when I first noticed. So the no-symptom-spotting has gone straight out the window and I'm setting myself up for disappoint! Grrrrr at myself!

gennibugs · 19/08/2014 12:56

blue sky I've got the same type of cramps - you've described it perfectly!

JackieBrambles · 19/08/2014 13:29

I just walked past four blokes who look like they've just left a building site and I could smell their sweat so strongly! Bleurgh.
I've just bought myself a FRER. Really tempted to test with it tonight! (but suspect it will be a bfn anyway). Hmmmm.

gennibugs · 19/08/2014 13:44

congratulations mrss
