Hoping for BFP's in January! New year; new start! Who's with me!?

[Hopingforarainbow27]

Hi everyone. Hope you can join me!

Congratulations @arianasky 😃 I’m also 10/11dpo, tested this morning and I’ve got a positive too! It’s a pretty faint line on the internet cheapy, but definitely there, so I did a clear blue weeks test as well and that says ‘pregnant 1-2 weeks’. With my daughter I didn’t get a bfp until 13 dpo so I wasn’t expecting a bfp this early, but I’ve already been feeling nauseous and tired, just like further along in my first trimester last time, so I had my suspicions. Weirdly I don’t feel ‘hungover’ like last time and my chest doesn’t hurt at all.

We’re not getting too excited… will wait to see whether our little ball of cells sticks as it is such early days.

I’ll also be sticking around here xx

Amazing news @ThePodParent, congratulations! Keep us updated xx

Jeeeez it's taken me ages to catch up with this thread 😅 I took your advice @lottieb92 (sorry your name's not tagging for some reason) & I've tried to limit my time looking at TTC forums and info etc because I could just feel myself get more & more stressed and impatient.

Lovely to see so many BFPs !!! Eeek 🤗🤗
What a wonderful way to start the NY! Wishing you lovely ladies all the best in your pregnancies.

8 DPO today! Im sure I'm not alone being really nervous to test closer to AF? First cycle I tested with a FR and even though it was negative there was that maybe feeling as I tested early. Second cycle I waited for AF and it was a day late so I was really upset because I'd practically convinced myself I was pregnant. So now i'm nervous to wait and nervous to test. I seem to get a whole host of 'pregnancy symptoms' in the TWW.

Wish I could just get a grip and chill out a bit but its so difficult when you want something so bad isn't it :(

Anyway sorry for my ramblings and love to you all!!

Happy NY everyone xxx

@arianasky I'd be tempted to have one or 2 drinks and then fake a headache or something so they dont guess. If you hadnt tested super early you wouldnt know you were pregnant anyway?

So I switched from one step opks this month to easy at home ones. The readings are already pretty high already! I'm only CD6?!

Congratulations @ThePodParent 🎉 amazing news! 💕

@PoleFairy that is a good idea I think I'll have one then say I'm not feeling great

@arianasky and @ThePodParent congratulations! Wonderful news to start the new year, wish you happy and healthy pregnancies, to everyone else wishing you all are blessed with a BFP in 2022 x

@Mariabombia I know exactly what you mean, this is my predicament at the moment, i’m about 16 DPO, as i have a longer Luteal phase , im expecting AF tomorrow, however I usually spot 3 days before- absolutely nothing, but i am petrified to test, i dont have any at home so there is no temptation but i just can’t bring myself to go out and get a test because if it’s negative i will be devastated. I know I need to know one way or other but i am
So nervous. Im trying to convince myself this is just a weird cycle and AF will come xx

@StephC85 @Mariabombia I always feel this way. I've found trying to keep your mind occupied and having something, no matter how small, to focus on for each day helps (a bit).
That said ..I'm currently 7dpo having had unexpected spotting 2 days ago lasting 12 hours and some cramping, I have none of my usual pms symptoms that I get on the week leading upto AF and I woke up at 2am this morning with horrible nausea and spent 30mins sat on my bathroom floor because I couldn't move without feeling like I was going to be sick and I hate being sick so I then had a panic attack 🙈

@ThePodParent congratulations! Wishing you a happy and healthy journey!

@arianasky you'll probably be okay with one, as has been said you wouldn't have known you were pregnant if you hadn't tested early. But it just all comes down to what you're comfortable with xxx

1dpo today (according to my app, but I think I may have actually ovulated a few days ago) and feeling hungover this morning which either way is too early to be having symptoms of any kind. Slight cramping in my lower abdomen and pelvis, nausea and headaches. I hate the TWW 😅😂

So happy for everyone getting their BFP's!
I'm just starting my tww today and Flo is telling me "test in 15 days" ...I'm already thinking that if I don't start spotting on the 7th then I could be in with a chance!
Spotting a week before my period is due is not fun. I'm also really worried it's not going to happen for us because of this.

Fingers crossed for us all!

Hi Ladies, I've had a couple of weeks off MN as I had a miscarriage on 14th December. I had no idea what to expect this cycle but I went ahead with CB OPKs and got my static smiley yesterday, so I guess I'll be 1DPO tomorrow?
Congratulations to everyone who has their BFP's, amazing way to start 2022!

Congratulations @Arianasky!

Congratulations to the BFPs 🥰

I’m 12dpo and been having period cramps 🙁 I’ve also got sore boobs. I went to the bathroom thinking it was AF and it was milky white discharge.

I’ve tested neg on 2 easy@home tests 10 and 11 dpo. Any point wasting a FRER?

Oh @arianasky I'm so happy for you! Let us know how the announcement goes with your other half. That sounds like such a lovely idea..re tonight, oh it's such a tricky situation re tonight. Erm could you have 1/2 drinks and just pretend? Or pour some of them away when no one is looking and top them up with just say Coke for example?? X

Thank you everyone, yeah I'm thinking I'll have one Prosecco then I'll have cokes and make them myself and pretend their coke and Malibu or vodka or something, hopefully this works 😂

@arianasky this is such wonderful news!!!! Congratulations ❤️❤️

@ThePodParent also congratulations, I’m thrilled for you! Hoping for a sticky bean x

@Nico89 are you ok? That sounds horrendous. Hope you’re feeling better x

@madeleine85 I'm definitely not right. I'm so exhausted, I have slept for 3 hours this afternoon.
Hoping I've not got covid from DH (LFT negative PCR pending)!

Equally though I do have fibro so I wonder if I'm heading into a flare 😢

@madeleine85 thank you 💕 I've told my parents as it's only them here for now before everyone arrives but I feel silly like I'm not really pregnant and they're dodgy tests or something is going to happen 😔 until I see pregnant on a test it won't really sink in, I'm having a small Prosecco when everyone arrives then my dad will make Malibu and cokes wink wink 😂

@arianasky sounds like that will work tonight then! I hope you have lots of fun tonight!

I hope so @kizzy97 fair play to my parents they were so understanding, and my father is known as the bartender at family parties so no one will blink a eyelid to him pouring constantly 😂

@arianasky Congratulations so pleased for you! Enjoy your night and what a lovely way to surprise DH.

Congratulations @ThePodParent

It's been a great start to the January BFPs and it's not even January! Let's hope they continue!

I have been frantically symptom spotting. I've had a few cramps but think it may be far too early for anything you have even happened!

@Nico89 hope you are resting up. If your body is telling you it feels rubbish then hope you get some down time to give it some self care. Still holding out hope for a BFP for you. My daughter brought home a winter vomiting bug in my FW and I then got a cold I couldn't shift the whole 2WW, so hoping that you are under the weather from hormones, but bodies do whatever they decide lol. Crossing everything for you anyway!

@arianasky you have a good plan!! Better than my stay home and watch nonsense on TV with my husband and drink non alcoholic wine/see if its any good haha. Hope you have a great wee party, and that digital test result comes fast!

Happy new years to everyone celebrating, best of luck for 2022 (praying it isn't a repeat of 2021 lol)!

@madeleine85 arrggh I hope so I'm sitting here sipping Coke Zero and it's all I can think about, keep thinking I'll test tomorrow and there won't be a line or It'll be fainter such a mind game 😔 aww that sounds lovely to me I'll be leaving early about 9 to go home and snuggle on the sofa soon 😂🙈
