@eltzbee @flapjackered that means you have a good, thick lining :-) I would see it as a good sign too! Xx 😘

@Crossfitgirl Trust me, I have daydreamed about so much baby related stuff and had loads of cute ideas for how to tell DH but it all went out the window today. I was rushing around trying to carve a pumpkin and stabbing myself in the finger because it was getting dark and I knew the little ones would be knocking soon and so I had no time to really prepare, plus I'm still not 100% believing I'm pregnant (God that sounds weird)... so I hid the test up my sleeve and waited for him to come home. I then gave him a hug and kiss as usual and then sort of just whipped it out in front of him and smiled at him Grin and then he started beaming and saying "no! no!? NO!?" in a disbelieving way and then he gave me a big hug and we started talking about how unreal it all feels.

I actually told my mum today too because we're super close and she conveniently popped round just after I had taken the second lot of tests. It was kinda hilarious because I showed her a test and she had no clue what it meant because apparently they didn't have them back in her day! She was all like "what does that mean?" and "when I was pregnant we had to miss two periods before the doctor would even see us!" I explained things and told her not to get too excited yet etc.

As for telling anyone else, we'll tell DH family at NY when we celebrate with them which should be 12-13 weeks and hopefully will have a scan photo to give them. I'm kinda nervous for telling my brother and SIL as they have had no luck conceiving for 3 years and hope they won't be mad. He's my older brother so I always expected he would be giving my mum the first grandkid.

Oh and to answer someones question from earlier about anything new/different I had been doing this cycle. I was taking those orange flavour chewable multivitamins (will stop taking now that I realise that they have vitamin A in which is not good for pregnancy apparently) and having LOADS of sex, 8 days in a row over fertile window / 14 times over the past 3 weeks. Hope this helps!

Symptoms:

  • feeling bloated a lot
  • sensitive nipples for a couple of days about a week ago
  • feeling hungry a lot especially these past few days
  • having a weird feeling, like very very weak nausea?

You watch, now I've written all this I'll get AF...

@Crossfitgirl I read your post kind fast and basically saw that as an announcement, you'll give your hubby a Best Dad mug filled with fmu.

@Charm23 congratulations!

@Delilah7 maybe the reason you're in such denial is because you're actually pg!

cupcakesandglitter · 31/10/2018 23:19

Sorry if it's sappy, but I'm loving how positive this thread is today, filled with so much love 😭❤️

EssJayyCee · 31/10/2018 23:20

Hi ladies! I've come to see how you're all getting on but realised I've missed about 600 posts so maybe easier for a little update than to read it all back! Haha.

I hope you are all doing okay! Have we had any BFP's yet?!

I bloody can't wait until March! Time is going so slowly!!

Xxxx

cupcakesandglitter · 31/10/2018 23:21

@Charm23 I'm so happy for you, NY will be a lovely time to share it! I can imagine it feels unreal! X

@Delilah7 just waiting on you now! Fx xx

@KatBeCool 😂😂😂

@Crossfitgirl oh god I've thought of so many different scenarios!!! I reckon I'll end up just blurting it out 😂😂

rj995 · 31/10/2018 23:39

@Crossfitgirl thanks so much for this, I wasn't sure as reading about OPKs I thought you got one or two positives and that was it, that's cleared it up a bit!

@Delilah7 can defs see one positive in them!! fingers and toes crossed!!

It's all so exciting and positive, you ladies make me smile & keep each other going

Delilah7 · 01/11/2018 06:41

@Charm23 @FlapJackered fingers crossed ladies hey! X

@Crossfitgirl I always fantasise about it. I bought cards for my last pregnancy that say how would you like to be promoted too.... and whoever's names on there. I have one for my grandad so hoping I still get to tell him!! Xx

@starkid thanks lovely. I think @Charm23 are defo going to stay. Not to sure about mine! Xx

@EltzBee thanks Hun. Hope you're ok x x

@Charm23 can't believe you're pregnant hun. It's so exciting for you!!! Xx

Did you manage to get a frer @Delilah7 ?

Delilah7 · 01/11/2018 07:10

@mrsof20118 no Hun. But I'll take a digital the day or after my periods due as that's what I did before. :) I'm unwell so haven't been out much last two days x x

OP posts:
CookieWaffle · 01/11/2018 07:23

Ahh when are you due @Delilah7?

Am feeling like crap today, temps are still up, boobs still sore and I feel like I've swallowed a stone right now. No sign of AF at all. Amazon should be delivering some FRERs today so will hopefully know for sure soon!

Delilah7 · 01/11/2018 07:25

@CookieWaffle Saturday hun. But no period pains or nothing like last time I was pregnant so who knows x x

Delilah7 · 01/11/2018 08:13

Decided to pee on my last sainsburys test. Surely they can't all be false?!

@Delilah7 I can see that! 🤞 for you!! Xx

AF reared her ugly head at 5am this morning along with the most painful cramping I've ever had! Thankfully that's subsided a bit now, but I'm still a bit sad that AF is here!

Delilah7 · 01/11/2018 08:24

@MrsR16 I've literally never peed on so many sticks in two days haha. It's because they're cheap I'm not bothered! Sorry AF is here hun. Cramping seems worse to when you really didn't want her to show up xxx

OP posts:
Charm23 · 01/11/2018 08:29

@Delilah7 I see a line! I don't think all 3 would say positive if you weren't! I'd wait a few days and get an FRER/more sensitive test - that's my plan!

Delilah7 · 01/11/2018 08:30

@Charm23 might have to join you!!!xx

OP posts:
Charm23 · 01/11/2018 08:31

@Delilah7 Grin Oh if you have to! Wink

Delilah7 · 01/11/2018 08:32

@Charm23 I'm so nervous these 4 I've taken on sainsburys ones are false positives lol

OP posts:
Charm23 · 01/11/2018 08:37

@Delilah7 Hun, I don't think they could all be wrong otherwise they'd get so many complaints and get banned! Obviously it's early days for both of us but this is happening!! Let's have some optimism! Grin

CookieWaffle · 01/11/2018 08:46

Ahh @MrsR16 sorry to hear AF showed up. Do something nice for yourself today xxx

@Delilah7 there wouldn't be a line if it couldn't detect something :) fingers crossed for saturday xx

Delilah7 · 01/11/2018 08:50

@Charm23 I'm trying to but I'm just so scared 😂

@CookieWaffle thank you ❤️❤️

OP posts:
MrsR16 · 01/11/2018 08:55

@Delilah7 as they say, onwards and upwards! I'm very excited to see the results of a FRER for you though, lovely! Xx

@CookieWaffle thanks hun, I'll try! Work followed by volunteering today, so might not have much choice, but hopefully DH won't be averse to cuddles later on today 😂
