@Hippeeprincss congratulations! What was the reason you were delaying? Was it about the birthdays?

That's a really clear line though 😄 very exciting.
Such an overachiever skipping straight from not trying to pregnant 🤣

@HippeePrincess congratulations 💖

@HippeePrincess wow that's a great line! Congratulations!

I caved and tested... stark white BFN obviously as only 8DPO and it wasn't FMU. The cheapy tests were burning a hole in my drawer and I couldn't resist 😂🙈

Congratulations @HippeePrincess that's one hell of a line! I can't believe the others though...definitely won't be using wand fo 😂😂

Still waiting to ovulate 😒

@dearhummingbirds I think I’m going to have to be very organised with saving and shopping I’ll have 5 late Jan early feb birthdays to buy for now 😅.

DD will be 8 and DS will be 11, anyone else got larger age gaps?

@LucyLoopyLu no we were waiting for my house to sell and for us to find a place to buy hoped to be a bit further down the line with moving, spacing the birthdays was the added bonus. At least DP passed his driving test!

@Dreamingof3 think I’m going to keep testing with the wondfo to see if I ever get a proper line.

Thanks for the congrats all, actually pretty shocked this happened first cycle off contraception at almost 35!

Thank you for your lovely message, I'm sorry to hear its taking longer for you than you would like, I had a Google looking at data for the chances of conception each cycle, results differed depending on what article you looked at, but it sat at roughly 18% if perfectly timed during ovulation per cycle. It shot all the way up to around 95% successful conception at the 12 month mark. Keep going, the odds are definately in your favour! I will keep all my fingers crossed.

Also really helpful with you saying about the first week too, I'm still in the first week of the tww and keep reminding myself of what you said! I felt really tired yesterday and naturally my first thought was.. could this be?? But no. Course it isn't, it's way too early - yesterday was 3dpo 🤣 I had an early night and feel completely normal today, so I was just tired. 😑

I've used flo for about 5 years but I've just downloaded premom and I have been uploading my opk results. Still getting used to it as it's all still very new to me ! Are you using opks and apps?

Wow congrats, lovely news. How are you feeling, do you have any early symptoms yet? Sounds like you have a lot to look forward to with the new house too 😊😊

@Summerbreeze111 I know keep trying to remind myself the odds are still in my favour it really keeps me going even!

Oh it's so easy to symptom spot isn't it and the hard thing being is PMS starting can be so easily confused with early pregnancy symptoms.

Have you used flow as a way to prevent pregnancy prior to this ? I'm using Premom and Natural Cycles and have been loving both but this month my Natural cycles seems a little all over the place as it confirmed my Ovulation as CD17 and then suddenly today changed to CD 19 and Premom is saying CD18 so I'm going with that as it's in the middle 😂

Congratulations @HippeePrincess! No mistaking that line on the FRER. Definitely avoiding those other ones though, that’s mad!

@WingingIt09 the urge to poas is just too much! I was so determined to wait until my period was due this month to test but I must have tested around 10 times before that 😂

@tryingtryinggone I know.... it's completely irrational too as I know it's too early 😂

@HippeePrincess congrats! Despite my best efforts my two boys birthdays are two weeks apart and if this one arrives when it's meant to, it will be 3 birthdays in three weeks! 😂

@HippeePrincess @DanceWithYourBalloon my girls are a week apart so I feel the pain 😂

Wow, congratulations @HippeePrincess and all of the other ladies on getting their BFP’s, I can’t believe how many are now expecting 🥰

sorry I’ve been so absent, I’ve struggled with time and this thread has moved quite quickly so just fell behind, but determined to stay up to date with it now! How is everyone doing?

@WingingIt09 I’m 7DPO so a day behind you. I caved as well and tested this morning. I feel like I will probably test everyday with cheapies because I don’t have the willpower to wait!

I hope everyone is ok, fingers crossed for some more BFP’s this month xx

@OCM19 glad it's not just me 😂😂

@HippeePrincess there's a month between my 2 which is bad enough 😂

@HippeePrincess Congratulations!

So I've got a positive but not peak opk this morning 😅 I'll probably test every time I need a wee now becauseast month i missed my peak! I feel a bit nervous 😂

Ladies..... line eyes needed!!! Something caught my eye on the cheapie so I busted out one of my FRERs and there's a faint pink line 😬😬 I'm 9DPO can you see it??

omg @Dreamingof3 three birthdays in three weeks 😭😅😂what are your top tips?

@Summerbreeze111 Ive had what feels like period pains for over a week, think that’s settling now. Nipples are weirdly sensitive/painful/tingly and the weirdest fluttering sensation in my boobs the other day which I can’t quite describe. Waves of nausea already which isn’t a great sign for feeling good in first tri 😅.

Someone else asked something about how I was feeling which I think I missed off, absolutely in shock if I’m honest like it’s not real!

@WingingIt09 something catching my eye too but the frer photo is really blurry for me, can you get a better on of it in better light perchance? I put it in my preggo test checker and it’s too blurry but there was a line on the cheapy!

Oooh @WingingIt09 I definitely see something...I know photos normally ruin the quality too! Definitely test again tomorrow....🤞🤞🤞

This might be a record thread for 1st month success 🙌 ✨️

Any better?

I can't see it @WingingIt09 !!!!

*CAN omg what a typo 😂 I CAN see it

@WingingIt09 I can see a colourless line on the first frer pic which makes me think indent (they're pains for that). The second I can't see anything I'm afraid. Not out until AF shows, plus 9po is very early still! Got everything crossed for you.
