Giants here confused! You?

Have you worked out edd yet?! Or are you still trying to let it sink in!

HeyJupiter · 16/02/2017 21:11

Congratulations confused (I said it - I couldn't help myself) I can very clearly see a line. That is so wonderful.. literally can't wait to see your FMU test tomorrow. You must be feeling so amazed... so surreal! Yay

HeyJupiter · 16/02/2017 21:12

mummyme that really is sounding hopeful! Maybe we will have another BFP this month. You big old fertile bunch :)

confusedat23 · 16/02/2017 21:36

Sorry Mummy i didn't mean to miss your post!!... your symptoms sound so so positive!!! Are you going to wait till 23rd to test?

I kind of need to tell him tomorrow because we are having steak for dinner... and i love my steak rare but obv i won't be able to now!!...

Dancing we are a bears family here... Giants are ok though Wink lol if it was Packers i might have had to find another thread... lol!! Last time i checked EDD it was something like 26th October which to me sounds pretty perfect!... i didn't want any closer to xmas and any earlier it falls into the trap of family birthdays! Lol

I'm actually crying whilst reading the support from you guys (i guess this ball of emotions is me now!) lol... its really not sunk in yet at all!... but i need to buy a book or something because I literally have no idea what i'm doing! Lol

Jupiter you are such a babe ❤! Still Cycle twins though and i am keeping you company through as many cycles as I need to (the next one is deffo yours)!!... also i have some CBD OPK sticks if u want them? I think there are 9 of them

I hope y'all don't mind me sticking around! I feel like you guys are my family!

HeyJupiter · 16/02/2017 21:45

Oh you're such a sweetie confused, don't you dare go anywhere! We want a blow by blow account of your pregnancy and can't wait to hear what your DH says! Enjoy and savour this moment. Oh gosh I'd love the CB OPK sticks if you're sure you don't mind?! That's so kind Star

DancingUnicorn · 16/02/2017 21:53

Confused! Yay, we can both hang around! It's such an emotional time!! Looking forward to seeing you on the antenatal club! Sad news about the steak... I made sure to eat it twice before I ovd just in case I was lucky in Jan! So glad I did now!!

Mummy sounds positive for you... fx for another bfp this month!

Jupiter how are you feeling? Really hoping af stays away!!

Orange I'm sorry about AF 💐

buzzmoon · 16/02/2017 22:02

confused I teared up a bit when I saw your bfp I'm not gonna lie 🙈 I feel like we've got to know you so well the past 2 months and I'm just so happy for you knowing how much you wanted this! ❤️ What a great group eh! Who's next? mummy? jupiter meep! 🎉

TheGrumpySquirrel · 16/02/2017 22:06

Can't wait to hear what your DH says confused!

Just DTD .. so much better when DH not under pressure! Not going to tell him next FW! although he'll guess as I'll be asking for it even more than usual.

Night all! Xx

confusedat23 · 16/02/2017 22:15

Ahaha Jupiter don't worry i will still be here daily to give you all the low down!... yeah of course! If you message me your address i will send them to you =)... do you think its normal to be nervous about telling DH... i know he will be happy but i don't want him to freak out because obviously I am not freaking out at all right now! lol

Yes Dancing resident preggos here! Ooo whats the Antenatal club Hmm... there is a lot i don't know about MN lol so I will need you to help me out!... i'm gonna eat the steak (DH doesnt the best steak) but i'll have it ruined cooked through Grin

Awhh Buzz!! After moving a few times etc i really don't have many people on the outside world to talk to this about... so i have relied on you lot quite heavily! And its amazing how lovely and supportive everyone is on this thread!

Yeah Jupiter or Mummy or even Tigger? Fx'd for all of you!! Flowers

confusedat23 · 16/02/2017 22:17

Oh no Grumpy missed you (is it to early to blame baby brain Wink) lol...

If you are going for eod next cycle do you think he would clock on?

OP posts:
buzzmoon · 16/02/2017 22:18

Bet you're feeling so smug about your mothercare haul now!! 😬

HbH04 · 16/02/2017 22:32

Awwwwww huge congrats confused so happy to see the BFPs continue to roll in! You guys are setting great examples for us to follow over the next few months!

Tigger83 · 16/02/2017 22:53

Congrats confused amazing news!!

So I'm now 12dpo and I had some mild cramping felt sick etc, peed on an opk as I thought I'd just see what happens and have a strong positive.... I wasn't planning on testing till Thursday as I wanted to relax about it all a bit more and now I don't know what to do! I've read that a positive opk can be a good sign for pregnancy.... help!!

TheLovelyOtherDinosaur · 16/02/2017 23:00

Oh wow- great to hear there's some BFP coming along nicely!! Huge congrats to you!! I can't wait until May now!! I'm becoming more and more broody every day!!

Seven0fNine · 16/02/2017 23:15

Yay confused, this is wonderful news! Go on girl xxx

Tigger omg! Get a stick and pee on it asap! And fx for mummy too and all those testing soon! Such exciting times. I'll be sat here on my own next week 😭

Two more lessons to teach until it's half term. Can't wait! Well and truly knackered, it's none stop here x

confusedat23 · 17/02/2017 05:59

Awhh yeah a little bit Buzz but just hoping its not a chemical!

Thanks Lovely and HB... this group is still doing one BFP a month so i think its a lucky group tbh!

Omg Tigger my opk lines are lile barely there atm! Get yourself a HCG stick woman and pee on it!! Lol

Awhh thanks Seven I hope your last 2 lessons go well! And we would never ever leave you on your own!! ( i have seen it on other threads but we are not like that! Grin)

So i have posted todays FRER offering!... so annoyed the Digi is still BFN atm Angry stupid unsensitive tests! So now i don't know whether to postpone telling DH or not!

Mummyme87 · 17/02/2017 06:31

Morning ladies!
tigger a positive OPK sounds promising! How long are you holding out for testing?

confused Digi tests are very insensitive compared to FRER... I would tell Oh.. is AF due today?

Wiggleyfingers · 17/02/2017 06:34

Well there is no denying that BFP confused it's not even a squinter! I think I would have to tell DH regardless of the digi and that result is so clear!
Tigger that's so exciting! Do you have any sticks to pee on?! Imagine if we had two BFP in a week!
Who else is testing soon?

TheGrumpySquirrel · 17/02/2017 06:45

I think it's tigger next to POAS, then mummy (will you tell on 23/24 Feb?) then I'm trying to hold out till 28th.. but could try at 10dpo (24th)...

TheGrumpySquirrel · 17/02/2017 06:45

Will you test
I meant to say

TheGrumpySquirrel · 17/02/2017 06:46

I think mrsC is close behind me

HeyJupiter · 17/02/2017 06:54

You can't deny that positive confused so satisfying to see it getting darker!!! Thank you so much, will PM you my address later. The digi one hopefully will work tomorrow? So normal to be anxious about telling DH. Knowing mine he would take a few days to process the news so wouldn't be jumping up and down immediately. But that's okay too.

Dancing I'm okay thanks! Woke up to usual pre-AF brown spotting so imagine it will arrive in full force tomorrow. That's okay. Will be CD1 and ready to give it another go. Going to DTD eod this month to cover all bases.

Oh wow Tigger that's so exciting!!! POAS when you can and report back. FX for you :)

So many test days coming up! Love to live vacariously through the excitement.
