Hello all. Introduced myself in the other bus and hadn't realised it was carrying on, thought it had just gone quiet.

Now 8DPO and still symptom spotting like crazy. Felt so tired today even after 8.5 hours sleep and this evening I got this really strange low back ache almost around my tailbone. Boobs also feel ginormous for me (not in real life though 😹 definitely still an A cup). Also had light headedness and head-rushes.

Planning on testing Friday- AF due Monday. All I keep thinking is if I'm not pregnant, my body is playing some serious tricks on me and is never to be trusted again.

helbel42 · 19/04/2018 08:31

@helbel42 incredible!!! Huge congratulations!!! How many DPO is that? Ahhhh!!!

italianwifey · 19/04/2018 11:07

@helbel42 that's excellent news! Congrats :-)

DBoo · 19/04/2018 11:31

Congrats @helbel42 no doubting that line. Lovely news.

helbel42 · 19/04/2018 12:39

Thank you. Still hesitant to get mega excited and still in complete shock x

helbel42 · 19/04/2018 12:55

@waitingforbubbles I'm 9dpo. Randomly did an ic at about 1am when I couldn't sleep. Had the faintest whisper of a line so brought out the big gun (frer) this morning. Might have been whiter than white every single time so a squinter was a first! x

waitingforbubbles · 19/04/2018 12:58

@helbel42 ahh I thought we were on the same DPO. I got DH to hide the tests from me until tomorrow as I knew I'd be crazy hahahah. But going to test tomorrow at 10DPO. Driving myself crazy with symptom spotting!!

helbel42 · 19/04/2018 15:05

Ooh, good luck @waitingforbubbles !! X

Boboelephant · 19/04/2018 15:36

@helbel42 amazing news. Congratulations!!
@Eyedontknow how are you today? I tested today at 12dpo and stark white bfn. Pretty gutted.

emdoc · 19/04/2018 15:51

@helbel42 congrats!! Such exciting news! And not even a squinter at all 😊

Eyedontknow · 19/04/2018 16:57

Woohoo @helbel42 ! So exciting!

@boboelephant you're not out yet though! I didn't end up testing this morning. Last night while I couldn't sleep my left shoulder tip started hurting and I convinced myself I have an ectopic pregnancy. That would take longer to show up on a hpt, right? I hadn't had any bleeding so wasn't actually too concerned, but I've just had brownish red spotting. Usually AF just starts without any spotting. I have one test left and don't know if I should take it tonight or wait until tomorrow morning. If it was positive I'd probably be quite concerned at this point because of the shoulder pain. Am I just being a hypochondriac?

Sammy900 · 19/04/2018 17:21

yay congratulations @helbel42!!

Yay @helbel42, that's fantastic! Thrilled for you.

Boboelephant · 19/04/2018 18:51

@Eyedontknow I don't want to scare you but as someone who has actually had a ruptured ectopic, I would say to err on the side of caution. Can you call 111 and ask their advice? I never had the shoulder tip pain so don't know what that feels like. I also had zero bleeding. All I had was extreme abdominal pain and obviously by that point it was too late and I had to have emergency surgery. I had a positive test by your stage but you said you had long cycles. I think it is worth the call. I really don't want to overreact but I almost died so it's really serious if you suspect it may be ectopic.

Owlpatrol · 19/04/2018 18:54

@helbel42 congrats! X

helbel42 · 19/04/2018 19:24

Thanks everyone! Still cautious at the min so I'll hang around if that's ok x

Eyedontknow · 19/04/2018 20:22

@Boboelephant Thanks for the advice and sorry to hear about your ectopic pregnancy. The spotting has turned into light bleeding and I'm having stronger cramps so I'm expecting it's just AF in the end. Probably just paranoia due to exhaustion and stress that was convincing me otherwise.

Off to May bus I go! Good luck to everyone and hope to read about more BFPs!

Boboelephant · 19/04/2018 21:13

@Eyedontknow thankyou. I'm glad it's just af and sorry if I overreacted! Just don't want anyone to experience what I did! Hope May is your lucky month!!

Sammy900 · 19/04/2018 21:43

I got another BFN tonight - still no af and I'm on cd39 - which is crazy - the extra ewcm earlier this month must've been late ov then is all I can think - come on af show your face now ........feeling fed up

Boboelephant · 20/04/2018 06:15

AF has just arrived for me. Good luck for everyone else this month.

Pob13 · 20/04/2018 07:56

@bobo sorry to hear that.

waitingforbubbles · 20/04/2018 08:33

Caved and did my first today. A very clear BFN, but only 10DPO so clinging onto a little bit of hope... AF due Monday. ☹️
