Hi ladies,

Age: 31 (in a week 😫)
Baby: #1
TTC: 1.5 cycles
BFP: 10dpo on 22.10.17
Due date according to OV: 04.07.2018

Thank you @lgh05 @Becparks 🎉feeling so full and tired after birthday meal...🤢

lgh05 · 30/10/2017 21:34

Awww I think that’s dead cute!

After me saying I haven’t tested today I just took a cheap digital to see if my hormones are high enough to detect it after just having had a wee, and it came up as a BFP. I’ve numbered all my test, when I have finished taking them all il do a pic like that! Going to do my last FRER tomorrow so that will be 18dpo just to compare my lines

lgh05 · 30/10/2017 21:35

I am going off my food I think, DH had made a lovely tea I said I couldnt have it I just wanted a salt and vinegar crisp butty!

Peanutty86 · 30/10/2017 21:55

@lgh05 sounds like a dream! I have a cornetto in the freezer but for some reason I don’t even fancy it.

What apps are you all using? I have pregnancy+ and also sprout which has amazing 3D images week by week which you can rotate 360’ and zoom. Loved it so much I spent £3.99 on the full version.

@lgh05 what’s dpo mean please sorry I can’t get my head round all the short text I only get bfp big fat positive and oh other half x

Peanutty86 · 30/10/2017 21:59

@Whatsgoingon4 dpo = days past ovulation

@Whatsgoingon4 dpo days past ovulation. I don’t know half of the slang in here haha!

@Peanutty86 yeah I have my fav mars ice creams in the freezer and normal I make them fit my daily allowance of calories because I love them so much but I just don’t fancy my favourite things, I don’t feel sick just don’t fancy things. It’s odd!

Peanutty86 · 30/10/2017 22:07

I usually have a very sweet tooth. Obviously wouldn’t mind losing it but it’s weird. Can’t wait to see what the next few weeks will bring!

I’m not liking this being wide awake at 4am thing...

Hulaballoo · 31/10/2017 06:36

I'm going of sweet stuff a bit... Not much lol. I keep walking up at 5 am for a wee and can't get back to sleep... Worrying I'm not getting enough sleep. Can't fall asleep too early either.

lgh05 · 31/10/2017 07:09

Yeah that seems to be my thing just not fancying sweet stuff! Normally I could eat chocolate for every meal.

Becparks · 31/10/2017 07:21

Morning ladies! I was wrenching a bit this morning but haven’t gone off anything. Just have a massive appetite. But concerned cos digi said 2-3 still this morning - maybe I’m not as far along as I thought (5+4) and ovulated on time not early (would make me 5+1) - was convinced I ov at cd 10 cos of pains...perhaps it was Judy ovaries waking up. Had bfp at cd 23. If I ov at 14 days that would be 9 dpo and it was a fairly strong line...ie not a squinter! What do you all think? X

Becparks · 31/10/2017 07:23

Wretching I mean! P.s my sleeping is also shit with loads of night waking - I listen to sleep meditations and hypnosis all night lol

lgh05 · 31/10/2017 07:56

@Becparks I haven’t had an experience with CB digital yet waiting for mine to arrive. You might just be waiting for a hormone surge I think I had one yesterday as I took a FRER this morning and the line is really dark but two days ago it was no where near as dark. Shows how different your hormones can be in a few days.

Hulaballoo · 31/10/2017 08:15

I'm afraid I'm no help @Becparks as I'm unsure how far along I am too...Bfp cd23 as well but I think I ovulated cd10-13 not sure. Static smiley on CD11. Plus my cycles vary between 26-34! Desperate for a dating scan...I got 2-3 on Cb digi on Friday. So pretty similar. I think I'm only about 4+2 though 😳 I woke up having a panic... This time last year almost to the date I hady bfp and had a mmc so my anxiety has gone through the roof. If anyone has any suggestions on keeping calm that would be great... Which hypnosis do you have @Becparks ? I'd be keen to use something like that too. I'm sure your Cb digi is about right xx

Hulaballoo · 31/10/2017 08:16

Argh did the bold thing again, no idea how!?

Peanutty86 · 31/10/2017 08:34

@Hulaballoo I think it goes bold when you use *s.

@Becparks you’re probably on the earlier side however surely CB can’t be 100% correct to the day.

@lgh05 did a FRER after work yesterday and the test line was stronger than the control line!!

Hiya, I'm new to this thread. Congrats to everyone due in July. I found out at the weekend that I'm pregnant. I'm currently 4 wks + 4. Trying to stay positive as I suffered a miscarriage around this time at the end of August having ttc for 18 months. Hoping this one sticks. Due around 7th July. When are you guys telling close family out of interest? I've heard that during first midwife appointment they ask about medical history so feel like I have no choice but to tell in laws (My mum knows) but a bit apprehensive for obvious reasons to tell people prematurely.

18mnthsandcounting · 31/10/2017 17:31

Congrats ladies!
@disneyrules I also had mmc in July so me and oh half decided not to tell anyone this time until 12 week scan which is going to be hard!

Becparks · 31/10/2017 17:44

We have told the kids, both sets of parents our siblings and our best friends. I feel like if anything happened they would all be there for us as support. I’m not superstitious just hope for the best x

HoldTightPretendItsAPlan · 31/10/2017 19:13

We haven't told anyone and aren't going to until 12 weeks, which will be right between Christmas and New year so it'll be a little Christmas surprise.

I'm now further along than my MC, and I was starting to feel more relaxed but today my boobs are less sore so panicking again.

Peanutty86 · 31/10/2017 19:54

Hello and welcome @Disneyrules!

Little updated: just told my midwife sister and said she already suspected it 🙄
Also took a lot of fear away by simply saying ‘you need to relax. There is not reason why it should go wrong. Please try and relax...’
She also offered to take me to a scan when I’m over next week. I’ll be 6+2 or so, so just hoping to see a heartbeat.

TMI but glad it's not me with the bowel symptoms.. Seem to be be 'going' far more regularly than usual!
Hope everyone is doing ok. I'm feeling really well at 5+4; hope this is not a bad sign! Saw GP tonight who took my BP, got me to sign the form for free prescriptions etc and asked me to call the midwifery team. Called them and a nice lady answered at 17:40 and said someone would be in touch soon with a booking appointment. She asked me to choose which hospital I wish to go to for scans etc so got to seriously think about that now as we live right on the county border.
