He was also very sweet too of course and very excited :) :) thank you everyone. I'm not going to lie i still don't quite believe it.

tessapop · 18/03/2017 10:11

Eeeek!! @buzzmoon that's amazing news!!! Grin has it started to sink in yet? How late were you? Xxx

Wiggleyfingers · 18/03/2017 10:12

This is so great Buzz! You could do as my friend did and announce it in the Grooms speech at your wedding as you will be over 12 weeks by then! So special ❤️ also explains the missing period!

MrsC2017 · 18/03/2017 10:12

buzz ahhh amazing!!! Huge congratulations to you and I just lol'd at what your dp said, classic male response 😂 😂 😂 thrilled for you and don't worry, I didn't start to show until 6months on my first, you'll definitely get away with it and your dressmaker will be able to sort it!!! How wonderful xxxx

buzzmoon · 18/03/2017 10:15

Oh wiggly that's such a good idea!! Love it! Thanks all, i hope I'll be okay in my dress 🤞🏽 what are the chances of losing weight in the first 3 months? Can I keep doing slimming world?? It has definitely not sunk in yet tessa :)

Tigger83 · 18/03/2017 10:24

Omg buzz congratulations!!!! What a lucky thread

MrsC2017 · 18/03/2017 10:38

That is a string line on that IC, I think I was over a week late when mine got that strong on one of those! Eeek I'm thrilled to bits for you!!! Have you worked out your due date?

HbH04 · 18/03/2017 10:49

WOW!!!!! huge congratulations Buzz thats so cray cray!!!!

You were worried you weren't ovulating 😂

Have you got any symptoms?!

HeyJupiter · 18/03/2017 10:51

Oh my bloody god buzz huge congratulations!!!!!! I knew something must have been going on after last week and the lack of AB… you must be in total shock (I feel like I am for you haha) but so happy. Don’t worry about the wedding dress, adjustments can easily be made. You might lose weight in first few months if you have morning sickness (hope you don’t of course!) but just focus on being healthy for now I would. Delighted for you and your very strong lines [grin} Literally can’t stop smiling for you yay. How many DPO are you?

Sorry about the BFN tessa, hope you’re looking after yourself and have nice things planned this weekend Flowers hope AF stays away.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 18/03/2017 11:04

Buzz that's amazing! So happy for you! I suspected as much! Lol at your DP comments that's brilliant 😂 when is the wedding? May right?

TheGrumpySquirrel · 18/03/2017 11:10

Oh and I also didn't show until 5-6 months with my first so don't worry! And I had zero sickness so it's certainly possible to feel completely normal x

orangefolly · 18/03/2017 11:18

buzz your DP is so funny Grin It will make the wedding day even more exciting too x

Well the waiting is over for me - AB turned up this morning, just after I weed on a stick, the bitch! Actually feeling quite upbeat though - I was so sick of being in limbo, and it has come at the perfect time for me to have some Wine with friends we are visiting tonight. I really had no idea how I would handle it while it was still unsure.

Wishing you all excellent weekends. grumpy your chilled one sounds excellent - quite jealous as I am off to catch a train shortly!

buzzmoon · 18/03/2017 11:35

Sorry about AB orange she really is a bitch!

I have had zero symptoms, absolutely nothing! So bizarre! I'm sure it will hit me like a brick in a week or something and I'll be chundering everywhere 😂

I think I'm 20 DPO. Got the new Ovia app, has given a edd 17th November. So excited to be off over christmas! ☺️

Wedding July 15th 😩

buzzmoon · 18/03/2017 11:36

I'm in absolute shock and mainly denial ATM 😂😂

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 18/03/2017 11:38

Congratulations buzz! Loving DPs comment! My cousins groom announced their preg at the wedding in his speech too! Was a lovely moment!

You can keep up slimming world while preg but you get extra healthy extras I think. You should be grand on the dress front I reckon!

Congratulations again love! So happy for you! 🎉🎉🎉

HeyJupiter · 18/03/2017 11:49

Yay buzz so happy you're so happy! I have basically no symptoms either apart from being a bit constipated and sore nipples. My EDD is November 23rd so our babies will arrive within a week of each other :)

So sorry orange but yay for wine tonight! It's time to pass on the lube stash so if you still want it do you mind PM-ing me your address and I'll pop them in the post for you this week all ready for next month. It's the luckiest lube around!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 18/03/2017 11:50

Buzz so you'll be about 20 weeks at the wedding? Did I do the maths right? You might have a cute little bump!

buzzmoon · 18/03/2017 11:52

Yay jupiter that's so exciting!!

Thanks parsnips! grumpy Ovia says 22 weeks 😱 pray for the dress fitting guys!!
Gosh I've no idea what to do now! Do I book a doctors appointment?

buzzmoon · 18/03/2017 11:52

Ooh good news about another healthy extra! 🎉

buzzmoon · 18/03/2017 11:53

Thank you everyone you're so lovely ❤️❤️❤️

Mummyme87 · 18/03/2017 12:19

Amazing news buzz congratulations!

With AF now looming and I'm heading in to cycle 5, I'm going to bow out of the thread for a little while. I'm getting overly obsessed with TTC and need to stop talking about it. I cried my eyes out in the shower this morning 😔 Hopefully I'll be able to pop back to say hello at some point over the next few months with a BFP. Good luck to everyone and keep humping 😉

HeyJupiter · 18/03/2017 12:23

Totally understand mummyme, sending you lots of best wishes, crossed fingers and good thoughts. Pop back when you are ready. Thank you so much for all your amazing support over the last few months, it's been invaluable Flowers xx

HbH04 · 18/03/2017 12:28

Big love & postive thoughts being sent to you mummy
Try to enjoy life alongside TTC (you're going to NY??)
Come back when you're ready FlowersCake

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 18/03/2017 12:33

Awk mummy sorry to hear it's starting to get to you! I know the feeling. There's a brilliant thread called JS or Just Shagging where they don't bother with OPKs and DPOs and all that and basically just shag and get on with it. That might be a good fit!

Hope you're ok and please do pop back. We'll miss you xx

Seven0fNine · 18/03/2017 12:54

We will miss you mummy but totally understand. Take care and fingers crossed for your bfp soon xxx

Going to update the list with our bfps in a min. Think we have more pregnant than not! Lol!

DH home for the weekend before he is away all week next week. Except Wednesday, he's got the doctors so need to get him home and get a hump in as although I'm still getting negative opks I think it's fw.

Buzz I can't stop thinking about your wonderful news! Such a lucky thread. Love your dps reaction. Mine would say something similar 😂
