@EltzBee @Shellybellytots my mum is also a nurse but she can't keep a secret to save her life, so I wouldn't be telling her until I want the whole world to know!

cupcakesandglitter · 24/12/2018 11:18

@KittieKath hahahahaha 😂😂😂😂 the gas is a real issue with Christmas food!

@EltzBee what a lovely line! ❤️

I'm still waiting on AF. DH took the FRERs to work by accident so no testing for me this morning... I've got the Prosecco and wine ready anyway, I've looked at my calendar and we didn't DTD anytime around when I think I ovulated so I'm certain I'm out this month. Just want AF to turn up!! I've had massively sore nipples for the last three days 😭😭

Has anyone else symptom spotted to the point they doubt themselves? I've had to take pictures of my boobs much to DH's delight because I can't tell if they're bigger/darker. They seem different but then I'm sure it's all in my head! I don't even know my own tatas anymore!!

EltzBee · 24/12/2018 11:27

@cupcakesandglitter thanks, I took that about a minute after doing it, now it's 'dry' it's a lovely clear line :D

Oh what a pain that DH took the FRERs with him, d'oh! When was AF due?? It only takes one sperm to make it, you're not out til she shows. Remember on Friday I was adamant she was coming!!!

The only thing different for me this month was feeling like I had a UTI or something, and had sore nipples a few times. Other than feeling a bit crampy and bloated (which I always got in tww, it's just continuing) I don't feel any different. I think it's gonna take some time to sink in!!

Keep your FX and let us know how you get on when you do test hun.

cupcakesandglitter · 24/12/2018 11:52

Ah @EltzBee I'm so pleased for you 😭 no idea when it's due - currently CD28 so could be anywhere from today until end of this week I think. Cycles have become irregular so no idea 😩 although having EWCM on CD14 was different for me, I think taking pregnacare has made my EWCM noticeable! I've had a few cramps too - a couple of nights ago I was bent over and there was a really horrible pain in my stomach but I feel like every month my body does something new so 😂😂

MrsH497 · 24/12/2018 12:13

Happy Christmas Eve! Oh @EltzBee that's a fab line!
Well 3 days late and AF has just started well not properly but think she's on her way now. Oh well x

MrsEG · 24/12/2018 12:28

GUYS!! Can anyone else see this?! Only 13DPO and it’s my 4th pee of the day but I caved... also forgive me, in my panic I took a pic of it inside the dogs bed covered in fur!!!

@MrsEG I see it! X

PaintingOwls · 24/12/2018 12:42

I see a line!

EltzBee · 24/12/2018 12:49

@MrsEG YES!!! That's a line :D congrats!!!

MrsEG · 24/12/2018 12:51

Wahh sorry im panicking and not catching up with everyone else!

@EltzBee I think we would tell close family - they’ll just guess otherwise. And I am woeful at keeping secrets! But it’s totally up to you? Maybe you could drive and just have one very small glass of wine so no eyebrows are raised??

@cupcakesandglitter Haha!! I show DH my boobs constantly ‘Don’t they just look huge?!’ - he’s always a willing participant! Hope he hurries home with those tests soon!

@MrsH497 @PaintingOwls I’m so glad you see the line! It’s faint but very pink! Keeping my FX, will try again tomorrow morning.

EltzBee · 24/12/2018 12:56

@MrsEG hah I was the same all day yesterday!

Oh gosh no I couldn't drink now I'm pregnant, even a small one. I know some people do but I'm too much of a worrier. I just went out and bought some de-caff teabags to reduce my caffeine too. Nobody would bat much of an eye lid at me not drinking, thankfully.

My FR test line came up really quick this morning and then as it dried it's is now a very clear deep pink line. So excited.

MrsEG · 24/12/2018 13:02

@EltzBee Yay so exciting! I don’t drink any caffeine anyway (for some reason I just never took to tea or coffee) but I love gin this time of year so tomorrow will be tough!

I’m just hoping this little one sticks on. We had an early MC in October so crossing absolutely everything for this one :)

Omfg @MrsEG CONFRATS!!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

EltzBee · 24/12/2018 13:28

@MrsEG fingers crossed for us that we have sticky beans :)

Totally with you on the gin, I got given a bottle of really nice raspberry gin the other day which I've not even opened. Oh well, it'll keep! :)

I meant to have a look at the alcohol gin free you can get actually!!

MrsEG · 24/12/2018 13:30

@cupcakesandglitter Thanks lovely!

@EltzBee Yep - my sister has also invited us to a champagne breakfast in the morning before we go to our folks 🤨 I think if we get another BFP in the morning, I’ll just tell them. They know we are trying and the second I say no to the gin (were all super close so no one needs to drive) they’ll guess it in a heartbeat!

How are you feeling? I feel totally fine. Very sore boobs (well, more nipples) and some cramps yesterday which I thought was AF! But nothing at al other than that!

OP posts:
EltzBee · 24/12/2018 14:04

@MrsEG fingers crossed for you, I'm sure tomorrows will be even stronger a line for you! Eek, hopefully the Champagne breakfast goes okay, I'm sure they'll be really supportive :)

Yeah I feel completely normal, just very bloated and gassy still. I don't think it's going to sink in completely for a while!

Blueflower22 · 24/12/2018 14:05

@EltzBee hey, congratulations, I'm so happy for you?

What day did you test and get your first BFP? Did you have any symptoms

thosethreewords · 24/12/2018 14:12

@MrsEG CONGRATULATIONS! Beautifully positive! FX for stickiness! X

EltzBee · 24/12/2018 14:12

@Blueflower22 I got my BFP on 13DPO; my usual LP is 11 or 12 days, so that was when my period was officially late :)

Not sure if it was a symptom, but I felt a bit like I had a UTI 'down there' a few days before. Other than that just my usual PMS, I was positive AF was coming and my temperature even dipped down on CD12 so I thought she was gonna arrive that day!

sunshine1987 · 24/12/2018 16:10

@mrseg I see it! Congratulations!

Shellybellytots · 24/12/2018 16:27

@MrsEG wonderful Christmas suprise congratulations!!!

MrsR16 · 24/12/2018 17:41

@MrsEG congratulations! That's a good line for sure! Xx

FlapJackered · 24/12/2018 22:25

CONGRATULATIONS @MrsEG! So so happy for you! An early Christmas present! 🎉🥂
Two bfps in a row! Thread 10 is proving to be a lucky thread so far!

DuchessofPemberley · 24/12/2018 23:13

Congrats @MrsEG! Ridiculously happy for you. That is one epic Christmas present! 😀

AngeloMysterioso · 24/12/2018 23:19

Just the present you want when you're TTC. My period. On Christmas Eve. And I'm at my Mums and have no feminine stuff. Great!
