Congratulations Flamin! My colleague 'congratulated' me on being pregnant a few months ago when I really really was not, I couldn't help wondering if she had some pregnancy radar though and it gave me hope!

Best of luck for it all!

FlaminFlamingo99 · 06/12/2016 22:29

Thank you all so much Smile
I've had a lot of symptoms but believe it or not the below is a summary of my last cycle!! Grin

My stats are
TTC#1
Cycle #9
Cycle lengths - vary from 28-37 days, av 34
CD 1-8 I had a nine day period (yes NINE! Normally about 5days )
CD 18-23 ovia predicts as my FW
CD 19-22 cramps started Mild getting worse - so bad CD21 I couldn't sleep. Other symptoms also occupancies the worsening cramps so suspect I ovulated some time between CD21-CD23.

CD 35. Expecting AF any day now. boobs had been on and off sore for a while, usually an occasional sort of pulling twinge, or tingly sort of feeling but feeling full and heavy. Came to a head on this day. Bbs v sore and dog rested her head on my chest - I could have punched her it was so sore (just to clarify, I didn't punch her, I love her really).
DTD on CDs 12, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 27 Blush that is by far our best efforts yet. We needed a 2 week recovery after that!!
CD 35 tested with IC bright white BFN
CD 37 tested with IC bright white BFN. Cried at the tv program Who Do You Think You Are with Danny Dyer. Hmm
CD38 Cried at Who Do You Think You Are with Amanda Holden... Hmm
CD 42 Hairdresser told me I am glowing. Aversion to ham sandwich I normally eat. FRER BFP. CB digital confirms pg 2-3 weeks.

So I have established I shouldn't be watching such hard hitting programs like Who Do You Think You Are. What the he'll was that about!!! 😀

MotherofUnicorns · 06/12/2016 22:36

Oh wow congrats flamingo I am very pleased for you!!
Somehow hearing about bfps on here aren't as bad as irl so please don't ever anyone feel bad about getting one!
My sister (preg) had a dream that I was preg last night - I told her it was unlikely but hopefully soon! Maybe she is like your spooky hairdresser though......

Carlotta82248 · 06/12/2016 22:45

Over the moon for you Flamin! Xx

Writerwannabe83 · 06/12/2016 23:04

I wish I had the energy for that much sex Grin

ethelfleda · 06/12/2016 23:12

Hi everyone! Relative newbie here so can I join to convo?? First month ttc and only 2 dpo and already the suspense is killing me!

janiPop · 06/12/2016 23:15

Congratulations flamin Star bloody brilliant effort with DTD. Have you told OH?

Tinkerbell2319 · 06/12/2016 23:28

Wow congrats flamin!

I love love love seeing people's BFPs they give me hope and especially as it seems like your cycles are a bit irregular like mine (:

Still no sign of AF here but have EWCM ... I've given up trying to work out what my body is up to this month but DTD just in case who knows maybe it's just the longest cycle in the history of all time

FlaminFlamingo99 · 06/12/2016 23:39

Thanks all

Writer we were on a mission Blush I don't think we could manage that again!!

ethelfleda welcome to the bus. It gets a bit busy sometimes but are all nice here Smile

janipop I was so excited I nearly burst. Within ten mins of getting BFP I laid out the post HPT on the bed with commando dad handbook(if you haven't heard of it Google it, it is a fab little book written by a dad, for a dad in a military style!) and babygro from his favourite football team! He was shocked but v happy. Asked me lots of Qs about what's about to happen and I was like... Idk... I haven't done this before either!! Confused
We then did the CB digital together to confirm and find out how many weeks gone. Grin I had had that planned pretty much since we first started TTC, with the book and babygro. Can't imagine how it would have been if he hadn't bee. In the house when I tested. In the ten mins I had to wait I nearly exploded with excitement, I'm surprised he didn't twig when he caught me grinning like a Cheshire cat!!

ethelfleda · 06/12/2016 23:53

Bloody massive congratulations to you!
