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

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??

I'm great too thanks! I'm 16+6 today!! Had 2 scans so far and had my 16 week midwife today and heard the heart beat!

First trimester was hard work! Sooooo much nausea and off all food and drink! Feeling much more like myself now!

How have you been? Xx

@Eanrcs88 I have my 16 week call from midwife next week. Seems like Northern Ireland doesnt even do an in person meeting at 16 weeks :(.

My 19/20 week scan is 26th november and Im going for a gender scan this Sunday, cant wait to see how much baby has grown since i last seen them!!

Yeah the first trimester was definitely testing, alot of nausea and was sick a handful of times and cried a few times with how tired i was lol but the last week or so feel alot better but randomly threw up again earlier! I switched over to seven seas pregnancy vitamins a week or so again and can definitely feel a difference!

Are you on a babies due April fb group by any chance?

Eanrcs88 · 02/11/2021 10:08

Ive had 2 face to face appointment with the midwife now but I think there is a midwifery crisis at the moment from what I've been told and read :(

Oooo gender scan will be so exciting! We've decided to keep it a surprise!! Although it will be hard as we have the 20 week scan in a few weeks time!

I've been taking seven seas from the start, so not sure if they've done anything or not! The tiredness in the first trimester though... Wow!! Had a few cries myself, wondering if it was normal lol.

Yes I'm on a couple of groups I think! What about you? Are you due end of April? I'm due mid April xx

@Eanrcs88 i am on ‘babies due april 2022 UK’ and was just curious if we had been chatting on there without knowing! Haha my dd is 24th April!

Yeah i cried on Sunday night because it was my DH birthday yesterday and I forgot to get him a cake… had card and pressie and was well aware it was his bday but totally forgot the concept of cake for birthdays! He was rather amused that i cried😂 I am so inpatient so gave in and booked a gender scan as i always said i would want it to be a surprise. I know damn well i wont even believe it till i meet him or her to confirm they are that sex so dont know why i am wasting my money lol xx

Eanrcs88 · 02/11/2021 13:17

Oh god I know how you feel, I've cried a couple of times about work things that normally I wouldn't even notice 🤣

Is that the big group with 5k members?? I was in it but left as thought it was American. But I haven't commented on anything ☺️ I'm in a UK one that seems good, 400 members "UK mums due in April." xx
