Thanks! It wasn't a very concentrated hold as my ds had woken me up at 3 30am and I had gone for a wee then, then this was about 7am!! But definitely something there.i feel strange because i was so convinced it wasn't going to be!!

Martina2311 · 28/11/2018 12:39

@Bitsandboobs Aah ok. Will you test again tomorrow with a more concentrated sample? How did you feel the last days? Any symptoms?

OP posts:
Martina2311 · 28/11/2018 12:41

@Bitsandboobs either way, I am convinced that this a 100% positive so you better absorbe the news! 🤗🤗 Have you told your DH yet? X

OP posts:
Bitsandboobs · 28/11/2018 12:44

Yes I'll test again tomorrow and hope I get a better nights sleep!! Haha, no I told you guys first!! Dh is at work when I get up so not seen him yet. Will tell him when he gets home!
My boobs are always a bit swollen and tender before af but they are much worse this month, that's the only real symptom. With ds I knew cos I was feeling really tired but I feel like I'm always tired these days so can't tell!! 🤣 never had any sickness with ds so fingers crossed I'll be as lucky second time round!!

Farhana170 · 28/11/2018 19:19

@bitsandboobs omg congratulations! Happy for you! @Martina2311 looks like we could get lucky too if this carries on lol fingers crossed. I've had no symptoms at all, not even af symptoms but they don't start till a week before so there's still time. What about everyone else?

Bitsandboobs · 28/11/2018 19:37

@farhana170 actually that's probably my biggest symptom - no at symptoms at all. I get it all, bloating, cramps, awful pms etc but none of that this month, so that must have all been a good sign!!

Farhana170 · 28/11/2018 21:32

@bitsandboobs I hope that's the same case with me! The only thing different today is I've got an increased appetite and that's about it. It's my first month of proper trying and I feel like giving up already.

Martina2311 · 28/11/2018 21:47

Good evening ladies! How was your hubby's reactions @Bitsandboobs ? 😋 And thank you for sharing with us straight away in the morning 😁
I hope we are lucky too @Farhana170 let's hope and keep our fingers crossed. It's strange that inside there the answer is clear...while we have no clue. 🤐The wait is so long! My periods are slightly irregular. Usally between 28-32 days but had also a 36 day cycle. Today is my CD31 and because I know I ovulated quite late, I know I may need to wait a bit longer. I keep checking my cervix for a sign of spotting as I always spot before AF arrives...But nothing so far. I wish my cycles would be more regular..😏like this I have no clue which day I will actually miss my period, but I think if nothing, I will test at around 11DPO with a FRER that is patiently waiting in my bedside drawer 😀

Bitsandboobs · 29/11/2018 06:46

I think Dh was a bit shocked like me! We conceived ds first cycle too, but I don't think either of us really thought we would be that lucky again! He's excited though!!
Tested again this morning with proper fmu, definitely a darker line. Those tests are 10miu so very sensitive. Did a 20miu one too yesterday and today and can see the very faintest beginning of a line on that today too!!

Bitsandboobs · 29/11/2018 06:48

Top is yesterday's, bottom is today.

@martina2311 irregular cycles are a pain!! I think I ov day 13, but with the late bfp I'm wondering if I ov late or implanted late. It's so frustrating to not know what's going on inside your own body. I do feel grateful though for modern medicine as it is. 100 years ago we would have just had to wait till be got a bump and felt baby kicking to know for sure we were pregnant and then wait for the birth to see if all was well!!

Martina2311 · 29/11/2018 10:04

Morning @Bitsandboobs :) Well that's a beautiful BFP! 🤗 I can imagine his surprise awww congratulations to you all and enjoy it to the fullest! How old is your older son?

You are right with today's medicine. And there is so many products available that can help with conception. Also scans! How amazing is it to see your baby, hear his heartbeat and even 3D scans...Technology is so advanced.

9DPO today, noticed a bit of sweating last night a little the night before. This sometimes happens to me before AF arrives although much more 😑 thinking if its the Af due or just the fact that mg temps are higher...no cramps, bloating or spotting so far tho so hope is still there.

OP posts:
Farhana170 · 29/11/2018 13:11

@bitsandboobs, well that bfp is as clear as day! Many many congrats! I don't know how I would tell my DH if I was to get a bfp. I have a few questions to ask so I can get prepped for next month if I get a bfn this month. We're you tracking your bbt? If so did you get a implantation dip and what was your highest temp? Also in terms of dtd how often should we be doing this and when?? Sorry for if too personal!

Mcstark7 · 29/11/2018 15:38

@Bitsandboobs ahhhhh congratulations to you this is amazing news!!! Definitely a BFP!! How are you feeling?? Looks like it'll be a sober Christmas for you. Many congrats! 😘

Martina2311 · 30/11/2018 06:52

Morning ladies...My eyes are watery, can you please tell me that you also see it there??? I couldnt help myself...10DPo...thought Frer would pick up something maybe.

@martina2311 I see it too!!! Congratulations!! So happy for you. Hope it all goes beautifully for you!

Bitsandboobs · 30/11/2018 07:45

My line has gotten darker again today and did a 20miu superdrug test too and got a nice clear positive!!

Martina2311 · 30/11/2018 09:30

Thank you @Bitsandboobs!! Its very faint but its there I think. I've tasted with Frer many times and it never ever had any evaporations or false positives. This is the first time I see something. Still very fresh as only 10dpo but will buy another pack today and watch the progress. Happy to hear yours is getting stronger every day! 😍

OP posts:
Farhana170 · 30/11/2018 10:24

Congrats Martina2311!!! It's so faint I can barely see it, but see it! Ahhhhhh so happy for everyone that's got their BFP! I think I'm gna cry IF I get mine! Not hopeful at all!

Martina2311 · 30/11/2018 11:03

@Farhana170 Thank you! I couldn't believe it myself. I didn't expect anything from this test...when I walked in to check in the bathroom after the time wait I saw just the control line from the distance of course. But when I picked up I noticed it right away. And I guess if it was my first time using this type of test I wouldn't trust it much because it's too faint. But because I used it many times, I know that I never ever had a false positive or even evaporation line. When I saw the tiny line I started crying as well...my hands were shaking...and I'm at work and cant really focus. I know it doesn't mean anything just yet so don't want to get crazy over this, I will keep testing and hope it will get stronger. I don't want to tell my partner before it's strong and I can do the clear blue that says pregnant. Omg I am so bad tho, I hope I will last and won't tell him. 😀 it's his birthday on the 12th but I won't be able to wait until then I'm sure. May be an early birthday present to unpack. Fingers crossed it's a sticky one and stays right there!!

How are you feeling yourself? How many too are you now? Keep your hopes up, this thread seams to be lucky. ❤

OP posts:
Farhana170 · 30/11/2018 13:13

It would be amazing birthday present if you can hold on! I wouldn't know how to tell my DH if I was. So i was looking for ways online to say it and one way was wrapping up the test in a box and then presenting it as a gift. You got the perfect opportunity for that!
Im feeling good, too good that I don't even think Its gna be my month but in the back of my mind I hope a miracle happensGrin
Only 8dpo today... the.wait.is.too.long

Martina2311 · 30/11/2018 19:29

Hey ladies! Coming home half an hour late from work cause I made my way to Superdrug to get more tests. Had to make up a story that I forgot my oyster at work and had to go back 😀
I know nothing is sure set but if line is processing and if by Monday I can get a pregnant sign on CB, I would give my DH his birthday present (a backpack he wanted) with the test inside one of the pockets. I would say that I think he will appreciate the gift earlier. I wouldnt be able to wait for the 2 week and I think he would tell me off after 😅

But lets see really. More tresting needed.

@Farhana170 dont loose any hope!! I actually felt nothing like pregnant. I even told myself that next month would work actually better, having baby to be born in September, not August 😄
