Early BFPs

[Secretsquirrelisfedup]

Hi, does anyone want to come and keep me company? Currently ttc#3 and I don’t know how many dpo I am as my cycles have been a bit unpredictable for the last year but I’d say between 8 and 12 dpo at a guess. I had a chemical in September and a miscarriage at about 6 weeks in early November. This month has been the first month we started trying again and I wasn’t going to test early but after feeling knackered and iffy all weekend I did an impulsive test last night before bed and got the faintest squinter ever. This morning I tested again and got a faint but definitely there positive that my phone camera managed to pick up 😬.

I don’t even want to tell DP yet as the last 2 BFPs didn’t stick. I don’t know what do do with myself today in between homeschooling and the kids have picked today to be really motivated and not needing much help from me.

After not having tested for a couple of days, I’m now too nervous to do so in case it hasn’t progressed from a faint one

@Secretsquirrelisfedup that’s a really good line! Is that with FMU?

Heres mine from this morning, still quite faint!
No real symptoms at all either today-stressful!

@Leonberger yes it’s with FMU, the strips I’ve been using are also similar sensitivity to FRER I think. Your line still looks good to me to say you’re not due on for a couple of days. Do you know what sensitivity your strips are?

@Hoplop I can totally understand that. Have you had many symptoms?

@Secretsquirrelisfedup they are 10ml/U but it wasn’t with fmu, just a few hours hold.

I do have one frer I was planning on keeping it until I’m actually a few days late though! I’m CD31 today. Last month my cycle was 28days but the month before it was 33! Not sure what to think!

@Hoplop you have more willpower than me

Thanks to everyone keeping me sane through this! Nobody knows and I don’t dare let myself think it might actually happen!

@Secretsquirrelisfedup not really any symptoms aside from peeing a lot, but wfh means I am drinking more tea than I normally would in work! So I don’t know if that’s a symptom or not ha ha

8DPO and just got a squinty line. Keep returning to it to check it's actually there

Somebody tell me I'm not imagining this

Hi @LAgeDeRaisin so glad to see you over here!!! Nope that’s not imaginary! Congratulations!!! I had exact same kind of line evening of 8 DPO, next day I got a 1-2 weeks on a digi. Massive congrats xxxx

@daisyorange2 thank you!!!! Can't believe it- keep checking the test!

@LAgeDeRaisin I keep doing the exact same thing on all of mine 🤣 So happy for you x

You too! And congratulations to everyone with BFPs here- hope they're all sticky ones!

@LAgeDeRaisin - defo a line there!! I know what you mean about thinking you’re imagining them!!
Congratulations! Xxx

What are everyone's EDD?

Hi @LAgeDeRaisin congratulations. @Hoplop how very frustrating for you. If I was you I would rip the plaster off and get another stick peed on in the morning to put my mind at rest but not knowing is worse torture for me than anything.

@daisyorange2 somewhere between 14th and 18th October technically but both of my children were overdue, my first by 9 days and my 2nd by 12 days so I reckon I stand a good chance of a Halloween baby if we get that far.

@daisyorange2 I’m due 16th Oct using the nhs due date calculator, but I’m 40 so I’m pretty sure they’ll not let me go to 40 weeks, in addition I’m gonna be a planned CS after two shockers of births.
It’s also super funny as my DD and DS birthdays are around that date too - only 11 days apart!! Hahah - shared parties all the way!!! 🤪
@Hoplop - go for it! Fingers and toes crossed for you!! X x

22nd Oct but also likely a c section as I had a horrendous long labour followed by an emergency section last time

I didn’t fancy studying line progression and getting worked up! Went for the digi instead. I will feel more relaxed about this in approximately 8 months...

Woohoo that’s excellent @hoplop 😁🥳

Yeyyyyy @Hoplop - well done 👏🏼 you’re right - the words are more definite 👌🏼
....you’re right - we can relax about this is around 36 weeks!! X x x

Congratulations!!!!

Congratulations @Hoplop so lovely to see xxx

Congratulations @hoplop

I tested again this morning. These tests are 4 days apart. Think I need to step away from the testing now before I am known as the crazy pregnancy test lady in Tesco

I didn’t think about it being a winter baby! My last baby was a lovely spring one and I sat outside all summer on maternity! Not this time!

Aaaha @Leonberger - this is how I see it - when baby is small and constantly feeding you’re either home or in cafes eating cake (winter). You can wear big jumpers and hibernate as wished. 😑
When starting to crawl summer’s here so you can be On blankets in parks with friends, with you nCT group on a Friday, with a bottle of Prosecco under your buggy. And hooooppppefully they’ll be walking by their next winter just after their first birthday so not crawling round in the mud!
Sound good? 😆

Morning ladies - had such a freak out this morning, when I woke I felt like my boobs weren’t as painful as normal so I grabbed my thermometer and took my BBT (still high) and then peed on yet another stick!!! It was actually second wee as I’d woken a couple hours before. The line wasn’t darker than yesterday’s FMU, but it was still dark.

DH said I need to stop panicking and testing daily, if things aren’t meant to be then we will know and obsessing over darkening of lines won’t help. It’s just so hard after 2 early losses. Ofc as soon as I woke properly my boobs started hurting again!

I guess I’m just looking for reassurance/opinions. I’ve now done 5 days of testing with latest lines being dark. Last month over 4 days of testing the line went from barely there to gone completely.

Do we think I’m ok to stop? How do I keep calm over the next couple of weeks!
