I (think!) I just got my BFP!!

[ApplePie86]

This isn't even a squinter right?!?

Have just taken that test and had decided it was negative after 10 seconds but that line appeared over the next minute.

I'm 15DPO and that was 2nd pee of the day.

Part of me wants to get super excited because we've been trying for FIVE YEARS!

I have PCOS (and have literally just started investigation, had scans, blood taken etc). Have lost 2 1/2 stone since February and this morning I have just gone from "obese" to "overweight".

I'm getting married in July and if this is for real I guess there's no way I'm fitting in the dress I bought 🙈

On the other hand, I got a positive pregnancy test about 11/12 months ago however I was spotting and bleeding from ovulation and for the next 5 weeks. Although blood tests confirmed HCG (which went down very slowly) I genuinely think it was the cause of a cyst (which I've never had before). The pain was the most excruciating thing I've felt.

Now...I've got proper AF cramps and it genuinely feels like I'm about to start my period. But as my luteal phase is normally 10/11 days it's looking promising.

There are so many things going round my head. OH is running me a bath tonight which he runs VERY hot and I know I shouldn't have 😞

I've also just taken up running (couch to 5k, starting week 4 next week) and really want to continue but I know I'm pushing myself when doing it.

And we've booked a hot tub place for our honeymoon!! 😩

I guess it's a case of testing again tomorrow and if all good giving the OH the good news (in a cool fun way I've had planned for ages!!)

Aaaaarrrgh, I just want to scream!!!

It looks positive to me 😊 congratulations

Looks very positive to me also 🥳 can you do a frer or pink dye test to be sure?

Exactly how mine looked and I'm now 30 weeks! Congratulations 🎉

Awww apple pie chill!! Sounds like there’s a million things going round in ur head and you don’t know whether to laugh or cry congrats to me looks like you’re on your way to getting ur happy ever after xxx take each day as it comes and everything will be ok xx

Looks like a positive test to me!!! 🥰
Do a proper pregnancy test though just to be sure!!
Congratulations, mama!

I have a CB digital I was going to use tomorrow but I could actually nip to the shop to get a FRER to use in morning instead.

I think I'm most concerned about it picking up HCG from a cyst so one of those completely rare false positives that people say don't happen but actually do 🙈

@Mylasmummy2102

Congratulations! Hopefully I go the same way you do 😊

Thank you! I do indeed have a million things going round my head. I've already googled hundreds of "can I do xxx when pregnant?" 😂

I'd probably feel a little better if I didn't still have these intense period cramps 😩

Congratulations.

I had cramps too. I was so sure AF was coming because of the cramps. I’m about 9-10 weeks now, not had a scan yet but I feel pregnant and assuming everything is still good. My cramps were pretty consistent until the last week/10 days, since then I’ve just had the odd, small twinge.

@ApplePie86 I felt like I was coming on my period for 2-3 weeks and got cramps throughout the first 12 weeks but less consistent as time went on. Try think of it as things stretching down there!

Thanks @InTheNightWeWillWish and @Chica1990 !

Feel much better that this could actually be something.

Unfortunately there seems to be a huge lack of FRERs where I am - tried 5 shops (3 big supermarkets) and all they have is CB.

Have Amazon'd some FRERs and have loads of cheapies so hopefully see some change over weekend 🥰

@ApplePie86 also try a digital! Fingers crossed for you

Congratulations 🎉 I'm so happy for someone I don't even know 😁👏🌺
Five years, wow what a journey!

Thanks @Veronika13 !

Just took another test with FMU and I think it's a bit darker. Unfortunately I only have cheapies (and only because they came with the 1000 odd OPKs I ordered!). Have saved my pee til my FRERs arrive later today (hidden so OH doesn't see 😂)

First image was yesterday after a few minutes and second is this morning.

Think I've decided I'm not telling him until there's a real clear difference and I'm more certain so maybe tomorrow or Monday although I really don't want to wait!

Congratulations op! 👏 that definitely looks positive to me. This mornings looks a little darker to me too 🥳

Well, that's fairly dark! I'm still going to be a little sceptical until I see a massive difference so will see what tomorrow and Monday bring 😊

That's pregnant! Congratulations.

No need at all to be sceptical. That's a very positive test.

Thanks @Albgo I really hope so. The only reason I'm sceptical is because I've had a positive test before but I firmly believe it was caused by a cyst which does actually give a rare false positive - timing and symptoms all point to that. I do think this is completely different so I'm much more hopeful this time 😊

Very positive - congrats! You've hooked me in now, what's the fun cool way you're announcing?

@Kimblebee19 thanks 😊

Well, it's maybe not that exciting but I've planned a treasure hunt (done half the clues already, need to work out some more!). The very last one will take him to a gift box which contains a baby grow which reads "Made from real ginger" (he's a ginger) and a couple of pregnancy for Dad books.

Will take another test in the morning and if it's darker I'll do it tomorrow evening 🥰

I totally wanted to see a bigger difference here. Can barely see any change at all, although I know it should only be compared against every 2 days.

Cheapies haven't changed either and that's over 3 days.

Think I might hold off on breaking the news until tomorrow when hopefully there'll be an obvious change in tests!

Congratulations. Definitely positive. If you're wanting the test line to go so dark that the control line fades, whenever I've had that it's always when I've been about 14 days after missed period. So I think your line is good.

Thanks @cookiecreampie

I totally didn't think it would take that long. I'm only about 5 days after missed period and don't think I want to wait another 9/10 days to tell the OH. Might just break the news tonight after all. Yay! 🎉

So hard to keep it secret @ApplePie86 I told my OH this morning - well I wrapped the test and gave him it as his last birthday present this morning .... first time I’ve seen him just stare at something and not speak- then a tear rolled down his face and he jumped out of bed n ran round the house naked..... maybe he’ll grow up by Xmas and put clothes on before he runs round like a loon! lol
