This morning I got a BFP on an IC, which I am a little in shock over as it is 25miu! I had taken a FRER on 8 & 9DPO and I thought I was seeing things, clearly not!
This is a bit random, as I half want to give reassurance / tell people what I experienced as I was searching on Mumsnet so much for these stories, but also after some positivity!
Firstly from my side! Last month when I got a BFN I was symptom spotting like mad, weeing a lot and felt tired, but then AF came. It was a weird long AF which I never have, but it was there nonetheless.
This month I have tried to be more chilled, stay away from MN for the most part as I'm a sucker for becoming obsessive.
On Wednesday last week I had a nice evening G&T, but it actually tasted like soap, I thought the glass had residue in it, drank it anyway (🤷♀️). Then Friday I was in the shower and noticed my nipples had loads of white bumps on (not the areola), back on MN for some searching! Tried another sip of Gin - still soap.
Took a test on Saturday and thought I saw a squinter, messing around with the filters there was a mark - not a line? (I've attached!) Then Sunday another one. Neither were FMU as I was trying so hard not to test! The Sunday (9DPO) one I was convinced had a line, but just couldn't be sure.
This morning I caved again, and with FMU took an IC to not end up (literally) pissing my money away with FRERs, and BOOM! I still don't believe it!
So I hope this helps those symptom spotters out there, or just the curiosity like I was!
But I have been on MN far too long, and read so much about chemicals, early loss, MMC and the like. I know women must get BFPs early that then stay sticky little beans, but I am really scared that it won't last until AF is due on Friday - I don't want to tell my husband now and then him get upset because I have tested too soon!
Do you have any reassurance and positive stories to share? Is having a strong 25miu this early normal?
(Sorry this wasn't meant to be so long! But I hope it is helpful!)
