Go bubba eggs! That is definitely a positive. Congratulations!

Maybe all of our DHs are on a thread together talking about how crazy we are for buying a million tests and talking about our vaginas in such details... Grin

StarkyTheDirewolf I use an ovulating app to check my ovulation Grin really helpful!! I sort of want to leave a test for a few more days, not sure though! Don't want to spend loads on tests! I'm Hoping my symptoms aren't just a general illness or me over thinking!! :(
Yay that's good!! We all love a positive Grin

harrietm87 · 04/01/2016 19:08

Wow congrats bubba! Have you just bought your wedding dress or am I getting mixed up?!!

I'm still at work bleurgh...mat leave seeming even more appealing! Nice to have some good news! And more from indi tomorrow??

I'm only cd 3. AF very much here. Excited to start the shagfest! Ha!

Mileymoocow · 04/01/2016 19:12

Bubba that's amazing! Congratulations FlowersFlowersFlowers

Hopefully some more good news on its way!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 04/01/2016 19:28

emanne so do I, can fully recommend ovia! I had two separate lh surges so my okp's were very confusing for a while! I won't be testing till at least the 10th even though I'm doing everybody's head in with my staunch refusal ovia been telling me to test for a week already!

You can get the ic tests for a couple of pounds from wilkos, bodycare and b&m, as well as amazon. Cheaper if you're a PAS addict as many of us are! my weakness Is okp's

Yey congrats bubba!!!! X

Mileymoocow · 04/01/2016 19:59

Can someone explain why I have little white lumps on my nipples?

I'm totally bloated and feel so grim. AF has semi-arrived again but without the mood swings. Also, incidentally, I have a fresh batch of opks to open which makes me happy! We are sooo ready for you, little egg.

emanne · 04/01/2016 20:01

i'm so desperate to test already starky i've just made OH go out and buy a load of PT so i have some to spare. i feel different than i usually do (body wise) just strange, don't know if i'm overthinking symptoms (which i probably am Hmm )
TMI but i literally almost nearly peed myself because i didnt need a pee then it just suddenly appeared Blush bed time soon i think... all this symptom thinking is hurting my head!!
fingers crossed! are any of you experiencing any symptoms similar to mine? (to put my mind at rest)

Pinklily1 · 04/01/2016 20:08

Woo hoo, congrats Bubba!!!! Wonderful news Thanks I'm with Harriet in terms of recollection - haven't you moved the wedding forward?

Bubbles, don't panic it's not too late at 32! I've just turned 33 and BFP in cycle 1. There is lots of fertile-ness hmm, not an actual word but hey ho on this thread. Wishing you lots of sex, and spermy goodness Grin

Starky~ I'm so impressed you have still resisted the urge to poas!

BubbaNo1 · 04/01/2016 20:22

Lol I think that was Buppapup that was getting married. Lots of confusing bubs about ConfusedBlush

swimchick1980 · 04/01/2016 20:29

Congratulations Bubbles and good luck with your test tomorrow Indi.

Someone asked whether we'd been checked out - yes, but only initial checks (there's a LONG waiting list). I seem to be fine and am ovulating. Normally 27day cycle or so but have had a couple of 30/31 days (where my hopes are raised, only to be dadhed again) and a couple of 21 day cycles too in the last year or so. Unfortunately though DH has low sperm count (don't know any more than that). Trying to decide if/when we have a cut off point to try private IVF etc but it's just so expensive :-(. Have been trying the his and her pregnancy vitamins but DH keepa fforgetting to take them - raging!!

AF due tomorrow so will see. Got some symptoms but they're all the same fecking symptoms as AF....Mother Nature is too cruel sometimes Confused

Pinklily1 · 04/01/2016 20:29

Ahh, sorry, me getting confused!

Are you going to do a Clear Blue digital?

StarkyTheDirewolf · 04/01/2016 20:31

miley hormones cause the white lumps on nipples, it can be pregnancy, but it can also be caused by an increase in hormones as you approach af. Something to do with our skin producing oil especially around the nips to keep them from getting cracked/dry.

I'm pretty certain af is going to show up by this weekend. So if I keep having af signs, I might not test at all unil I'm actually late!

em have a read through of the previous threads too, I'll try and link them later, we are pro's at symptom spotting! Grin

Woo hoo Bubba

Who's left to test this month and who's on the February bus? AF is due on 20th so I'll be testing around then.

harrietm87 · 04/01/2016 20:46

Oops sorry bubba - this thread has grown so fast it's hard to keep track!

Mileymoocow · 04/01/2016 20:51

leonie I'm on the February bus!! Hope to see none of you there Wink

BubbaNo1 · 04/01/2016 20:52

Pinklily I haven't got a clear digital will get one tomorrow after work.. I have a first response so I'll do that one in the morning

IndiX · 04/01/2016 20:57

For my own sanity..any of the grads ever had a true bfp outside the time frame? Or opening up the test? I'm going actually mental here, so basically how long is too long out of the time frame for the test to be invalid?
I'm in a massive grump after an evening of questioning myself and my sanity Angry

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 04/01/2016 21:04

Congrats bub :)

Thanks starky for the links but I'm struggling to keep up with this one! Blush

snow yay for ovulating this week, I'll be thinking of you !

I'm CD8, will be dtd every night this week, expected to ovulate on Sat. That means I'll be testing from about 21st Jan (yeah right - I'll be pissing on those sticks from 8dpo no doubt!)

LittleBelle90 · 04/01/2016 21:04

I'm still to test leonie AF due 10th. Had symptoms I've not experienced before the run up to AF, (sore boobs, cramps and creamy cm) but I'm trying not to get my hopes up yet

drinkyourmilk · 04/01/2016 21:04

Hello all.
Sorry I dropped off, we don't do Internet over Xmas! What have I missed? I'd read it over-but it's an entire thread!!!

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 04/01/2016 21:22

little are you not tempted to do frer? Should show 6 days before expected period Grin

Pinklily1 · 04/01/2016 21:34

No from me Indi. I couldn't contain myself past the 3 minute wait or whatever it is Grin

Chocaholic88 · 04/01/2016 21:37

Im still to test but have had mixed results so far leonie

I've never had a line come up out of the time frame before, even when I've been worried I was upduffed on the implant (didn't bleed and gave odd random symptoms sometimes) and trust me I used to check indi

Also worth noting that I did test 2 and 3 days before I got the first faint line... I checked both of them yes out of the bathroom bin, I'm vile And neither had a line...
