Just got my Bfp 16dpo, wanted to share my story

[Eanrcs88]

Hi everyone.

I got my bfp today 16dpo! I was so shocked but thought I'd share my story :)

So 2nd cycle ttc but my 1st cycle was 71 days long!! It was soooo stressful, but then went back to normal this cycle and ovulation went back to as expected.

I used clear blue ov sticks and got my flashing face on CD 14 and solid face on CD 18.

We had sex on these days, CD 14 and CD 18. So only twice. No idea which day we conceived on but from the cramps and sore boobs I think I ovulated on CD 19.

I actually went away in the tww for a week and decided I would enjoy it and drink and eat what I want. (drank a lot of sauvignon, I cannot lie!)

The only things I have felt so far are really tender boobs on and off, but nothing different with nipples at all.

I've had the odd occasion where I've bent down and felt a twinge I've never felt before, like a little nudge or tug.

No nausea yet, sense of smell normal, eating normally no aversions.

Had period like cramps when I was due on probably CD 32 or 33 (2days ago) and lots of pms type symptoms.

If am honest I was 100% expecting my period to show, I even took pads away with me. The only thing that really was different was sore boobs (more so in left one) and the fact my period was Mia.

I even said to my OH this morning that my period could still come in a couple of days! But the bfp showed up within seconds :)

I am still so so shocked, but I was as stressed as others out there about the whole ttc journey, trust me!

Wishing you all the best of luck, health and happiness.

Anyone just got their bfp??

@Eanrcs88

When i read your first sentence i had to double take to make sure it wasn't my post!!!!

I am 10dpo and i got my bfp today! I too am in shock - its my first cyle ttc#1 and my last cycle was 79 days!! I am on cd34 today of 2nd cycle!

Dont even know why i tested as i do not feel pregnant at all! Apart from really bad heartburn on Monday and feeling like i was getting a cold when i woke up yesterday morning... that is it! No sore boobs, no nausea, no cramping!! In so much shock!! Xx

@Eanrcs88 sorry my head is up my arse. This is my 2nd cycle ttc and my first cycle was 79 days long! Haha

I find this really interesting ladies!

I'm on first cycle of TTC, have had 3 positives and a few negative tests. Currently CD42 but no AF at all yet.

I'm wondering if it's an unusually long first cycle like you both experienced! I'm so hoping I get a BFP during cycle 2 as well if it's not this time🤞🏼

Congratulations to you both! Xx

@CTMcG

No way that's mad how similar our stories are!!! Congratulations!!

I am CD 35 now so we're in exactly the same boat!

I don't feel pregnant at all either. It was purely my slightly sore boobs and thought I might be a day late for my period!

I've only done 1 test so far, but the bfp came up before I finished peeing lol! Do you think I should do a couple more??

Also I think ovulation was slightly more noticeable this time. Was it for you? I felt I had a heavy dull feeling and sore boobs but could be a total coincidence!

@itsjustme20 that's really interesting! Do you think you've had false positives then? The long cycle was sooooo frustrating for me but I guess we're both proof that sometime you can have a wonky cycle and go back to normality straight away!! Wishing you all the best 💋

@Eanrcs88 I don't know really as it was 3 different brands I got 3 faint positives on 🤷🏽‍♀️

Docs said to test again in 3/4 days and got to wait for 3 missed periods before they investigate.

I'm going to continue OPK testing and see what happens! Xx

@Eanrcs88 its mad how similar our stories are! Lol
I only took quite a few because i couldn't believe it!🙈 going to wait to weekend to test again to see the line progressing!

I do notice ovulation as i get pain but i have definitely not had any idea that i had implanted, had no pain since ovulation! Its still early days so symptoms i am sure will appear in the next few weeks!

Are you in the UK? Have you spoke to your gp yet? X

@Itsjustme20 thank you and good luck testing in a few days! X

@CTMcG I had zero implantation symptoms as well. I just felt like my period was about to start and that's it! I have another test in the pack so was going to test again in the morning then will do a different brand at the weekend. Here's a pic of the one today, the only one I've done.

Yes am in the UK! Phoned the gp today and apparently the procedure has changed now. They told me to register on My Pregancy Notes and apparently a midwife will be in touch to book the appts in etc. If you goggle it, it should pop up! I think I will be 5 weeks tomorrow.

@Itsjustme20 you'll have to keep us posted! I had an appt with my gp on CD 56 on the last/long cycle and he told me to wait another month and call back. Luckily I also was ovulation testing and got the LH surge on CD 62. I still don't get it at all and I honestly so was so frustrated at the time! But defo keep doing opks and pregnancy tests, either way you'll find out what's going on! Xx

@Eanrcs88 premom app is putting me exactly 5 weeks today as my last period was 9th July but as my cycle is slightly longer than normal I doubt i am that far yet!

I am in Northern Ireland and I take levothyroxine for thyroid so i rang doc straight away yday and they tell me that they dont refer over here so i filled in a form and emailed it to hospital last night. I dont think they see you to 8 weeks so its going to be a long 3 weeks! Definitely hasnt sunk in yet!

@CTMcG ahhh yes I had to fill in a registration form on My Pregnancy Notes which then submits to my local hospital. Strange they don't refer via a go anymore!

I did the other test this morning and came up positive straight away again!

Yes it's going to a long wait to the first appointments isn't it.

I got seven seas pregancy bits his morning, although I was already taking folic acid. Are you taking any?

X

Sorry so many typos in my message hopefully you can decipher 🤣

@Eanrcs88 never worry, my grammar has been terrible too😂😂my head is in the clouds! Haha

I take folic acid and vit d just and my doc has told me that thats all that is recommended on the NHS so going to keep at them for now☺️

@CTMcG so sorry for the late reply I've been away!!

How are you feeling? Other than my boobs hurting I still don't feel too different!!

Have you heard from the midwife yet?

I did the registration form on My Pregnancy Notes last week and they've assigned me a midwife but not had any contact yet re an appointment. Not too sure what the next steps are really!

How are you doing @Itsjustme20?

X

@CTMcG oh and also feel a bit spaced out at times then feel back to normal. So odd to explain!

Hi @Eanrcs88 never worry! No word from midwife yet, im only about 4+2 weeks i think though so i reckon it will be a while yet but i did book a private scan for 6 weeks just for my peace of mind!

Im getting out of breath easy and I am tired but other than not, not much! Boobs maybe a wee bit sensitive but wouldnt say sore! X

@Eanrcs88 Still no BFP or positive OPK 😂 Although I started light pink spotting yesterday which could be AF starting. X

@CTMcG ahhhhh I think I am 5+5 but that's counting from my last period - is that right? I feel clueless lol.

I was thinking on booking an early scan - I think they are done transvaginally from what I've read. I may book one too for piece of mind.

It still doesn't feel real 😂

@Itsjustme20 ahhh fingers crossed for you! That's what happened to me on my last cycle which was the super long one. Hopefully you won't have to wait much longer x

@Eanrcs88 I hope so. I'm on CD50 now 😂 Excited for it to come now so I can track ovulation and start trying again properly 😂

@Eanrcs88 i know how you feel, i am the same, i am so bloody happy but as its still so early and i am still in shock I haven't cried with happiness yet and i am a crier. If all is well in scan i will blub like a baby with happiness then and make up for it haha

Yes its from your last period and mine was 9th of july so i should be about 5.5 but my cyles are about 36 days so i didnt ovulate to about cd24 so i am saying i am 4+2 for that reason but if your cycles are regular then you will be about a week or so more than me if that makes sense :)

@CTMcG ahhhh I see, I ovulated on dc 19 so I think I am 5+6 still. I haven't cried yet either! I don't really feel that emotional yet, but noticed tonight and last night had a icky taste in my mouth.

I've received a letter in the post for my dating scan 😊 but it's not until the last week of September! That's ages away!!

I though you had a booking appt before 10 weeks too? Maybe they'll call me for that if so.

Anyway I can't wait that long so booked an early scan at 8 weeks 😂

Xx

@Eanrcs88 So... I've just taken a test. Again. I had the 2 positives on Mon 09/08 but then negatives since then although the positives were faint.

I'm on CD49. I had EWCM 14 days ago and we DTD that day. The last 2/3 days I've had light pink/light brown spotting. This positive came up straight away and well within the 3 mins.

After having positives 2 weeks ago and then negatives and now this?! 🤷🏽‍♀️

@Itsjustme20 that looks positive to me!! Congrats! I'm guessing you ovulated late this cycle but 14 days ago would make sense timeline wise.

Are you planning on doing a FRER or CB digital? Xx

I had 2 like that yesterday and then I've got a CB coming this morning 🤞🏼

@CTMcG hi again!! How are you doing now? Thought I'd check in 😀

Hi @Eanrcs88 I am very good thanks! 15+1 today and still not really sank in!! Haha how about you?
