You guys are the best, thanks so much, I just welled up! I am 10dpo and dtd everyday in FW bar day 2, very little ewcm so went off OPKs and did use preseed but not everytime! This is cycle 2. I told DH, he's in shock, I just said so I got a faint line this morning and now I have a dark one so I guess I'm pregnant and he was so happy and giddy and kept saying he can't believe me! Tbh I had an inkling this cycle, although didn't wanna believe, I think not having been on BC for so long and having absolutely zero symptoms on last cycle meant I knew straight away when something was different, so pelvic twinges or like an awareness of my pelvis at 5dpo and a tiny but of nausea for a few days in spells but other than that barely noticeable! I'm just kind of in a daze now.....

Congrats MrsC you've deffo got a positive there I didn't even have to squint with that badboy. Your gonna be a mummy!!! Yay!!

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 01/03/2017 19:38

Ahhh congrats mrsC I'm so pleased for you!!! And this gives me hope of early tests picking it up early! Super excited for you! Right girls - who's next? My money is on Grumpy!

Amazing!! Congratulations MrsC!! :)

HeyJupiter · 01/03/2017 19:43

You must be on top of the world MrsC, and those twinges must definitely have been implantation pains to have such a strong line so early. Are you going to do another FRER tomorrow? Bloody love the BFP pics.

My money is on grumpy too.. maybe even in the next couple of days Flowers

confused thank you my lovely, so excited. Feeling much calmer and more confident this cycle as really getting to know my body now. Thanks for the tip regarding the lube, will just put half in and see how we get on. Have had some ewcm today randomly (after my post last night!) so that will all help. Have had DH on the wellman tablets all month too..all these squinters and BFPs make me feel so positive that the whole pregnancy thing can actually happen.

Just got text from my friend who had a little girl this afternoon. She is very adorable - feeling very emotional on her behalf. Life is good.

MrsC2017 · 01/03/2017 19:51

Yes jupiter will test again with fmu and hopefully get something stronger just to ease myself! I'm very happy, October was my perfect month but November is just a month out so I'm thrilled the timing has worked so well! Now keep on getting it on and I'm sure you'll be very close behind!
grumpy and glitter I really hope beyond hope that you guys are joining me soon!

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 01/03/2017 19:56

I've got lower back pain tonight. Like twinges. Not had any spotting or anything like that though but maybe will happen over night. Who knows.

MrsC2017 · 01/03/2017 20:02

When are you due to test parsnips?

Seven0fNine · 01/03/2017 20:06

Omg YES!! MrsC congratulations!!! XxxxX

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 01/03/2017 20:15

I think sat is 10dpo so maybe then. I'm
Cd21 and ovulated around cd14. Ovia reckons 9 days until AF but think that's 2 days out so not sure. I don't want to test too early and just get BFNs but I want to know!!!

MrsC2017 · 01/03/2017 20:17

Well we are notoriously bad at not testing early in this group parsnips not an ounce of willpower between the lot of us so Fx for Saturday!

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 01/03/2017 20:22

I can only get hold of clear blue tests as well so I'm not convinced they'll be that sensitive either.

Mrs C congratulations!!!! Amazing news I'm so happy for you.

Confused not been sick just feel queasy all day (and night) long! Just eaten so feel a bit better.

Jupiter I used a whole tube thing full each time. There is a lot but I just went for it and I found after we'd dtd it kind of went away.

Tigger83 · 01/03/2017 20:25

HeyJupiter · 01/03/2017 20:25
