BFP: 10dpo on 22.10.17
Due date according to OV: 04.07.2018

Only half a box??😜 You’ll be fine! And so will bean.

Hulaballoo · 24/10/2017 20:37

Phew thanks @Somethininthewater @lgh05 I can relax into marking some books. 😁 Going to try and work on my patience tomorrow 😳

Peanutty86 · 24/10/2017 20:49

Haha @Hulaballoo 1/2 a box (and of course the DH had the other half!) let’s just talk about Walker‘s tear & share salt & vinegar or the Aldi chocolates with whole almond....
Actually I’m hungry yet at all.
Are you ladies cutting caffein out completely? I don’t think I can do that! 1-2 cups of coffee are ok, right?
It’s not even 9pm and I’m struggling to stay awake.

I’ve had caffeine through all my PGs. Obv not excessively. But I love coffee shop coffee! Would only have one of those a day and nothing else caffeinated though. I drink decaf tea anyway, so that’s one less thing to worry about!
I just inhaled a mouthful of my juice and coughed up a lung! Felt like my old section scar was going to tear open!! So sore to cough or sneeze still Confused hope that won’t be a permanent thing if this is my month!

Peanutty86 · 24/10/2017 21:08

I don’t work without coffee. People at work know not to bother me when I’ve not finished my first cup yet. After that I’m happy with herbal tea. Oh dear that doesn’t sound good. How old is the scar?

Somethininthewater · 24/10/2017 21:15

14 years! It feels like stretching ligaments. Obv I’ve felt this before(it’s agony! Like a horrible stitch) but I had a baby bump then. If I am pg, maybe my body recognises it and is prepping? I always show really quick too(rubbish stomach muscles!)

Hulaballoo · 24/10/2017 21:22

@Somethininthewater I get like a stabbing pain sometimes in my side when I sneeze.. Just thought maybe I had a full bladder lol. I do LOVE coffee... I'm only on decaffeinated because I'm a little paranoid after a mmc December 😳 both my pregnancies with DDs I had 1-2 mugs of normal coffee without issue.

Somethininthewater · 24/10/2017 21:25

Ah that’s understandable. With my first I did everything I was supposed to, to the letter. Not so strict with 2 and 3!

Peanutty86 · 24/10/2017 21:38

Ohhh hula that’s such a good idea! I’ll try that for the getting ready cup at home. Might have a good placebo effect! But then just the one freshly ground Lavazza one.... 😍 can’t wait to go to work now 😂

Hey, can I join? I’m the oldest for sure!
Age - 41!!!!! 😮
Baby no 3 (eldest is 19!
Due date according to lmp 2nd July - although I’ve known for almost a week so might be earlier.

So, I’m like a mentalist right now? Anyone else? Last few days I’ve obsessively poas checking digital is going up (it hasn’t moved from 1-2 but just realised I’m in 4+1 and keep using eve urine so perhaps shouldn’t panic just yet? Partner and I weren’t meaning to concieve yet and we’re sort of trying to be careful so I’m a bit in shock and trying not to get too excited. Didn’t think I’d have another.!!!!
I’ve also had major mood swings, insomnia for last 5-6 days, slight boob soreness (maybe?) but it comes and goes, terrible migraine with severe throwing up last night...and I have a massive appetite!!! Anyone else got symptoms yet? I’m driving myself insane wanting them, although I think proper sickness didn’t kick in till 6 weeks before.
Just started new job so a bit worried about what work will say. Have to keep it from them atm. Oh yeah I’ve been craving coke too! Re the caffeine - half a box of matchmakers is fine I’m sure! I have one coffee a day...rest of the time I have decaf - and I have had a couple of coca colas too - couldn’t help it! 😬

Hulaballoo · 24/10/2017 22:14

Welcome @Becparks! Congratulations! I'm far too nervous to use a Cb digital yet... I've ordered some but going to wait a bit if I can... I'll probably do it the second they arrive. I felt a bit nauseous tonight but keep telling myself it's not possible yet as I don't think I'm even 4 weeks yet.... 😳 boobs mildly sore but not much... Hungry but I think I'm always hungry really... Same with tired.... And on that note think I'm off to bed ladies. 😁🌒

Becparks · 24/10/2017 22:28

Hahah hullabaloo....those tests are addictive and not the best for my nerves!! I am going to try and stop! Hope you sleep well.... 💤💆🏻🤰🏻

PineapplePrincess · 25/10/2017 00:00

Hi ladies! Mind if I join the party....?

Age: 42 (yikes!)
Baby: #2
TTC: Cycle 8
BFP: 19th October
Due: 3rd July

Tested on Thursday, but officially late as of today. Ultra nervous as suffered a MMC in February at 13wks, and have had chemical pregnancy in between times. My original due date was last month, so last wee while has been a rollercoaster.

Hoping this is a sticky bean!?!

lgh05 · 25/10/2017 05:02

Just tested again with a FRER and the line is sooooo faint, yesterday's line in the afternoon was so much better I am now scared that it means my hormones are lowering which would maybe suggest a chemical? So disheartened!

Peanutty86 · 25/10/2017 06:34

Welcome @Becparks and @PineapplePrincess!

@lgh05 wait a bit and look at it again. I had it on 11dpo that the line looked fainter than on 10dpo evening, once it dried completely it was darker. Do you take your temp?

OP posts:
Hulaballoo · 25/10/2017 06:34

@lgh05 I really hope it's not ... There's a new update on conception topic where a lady has a happy ending with weaker lines. (Frer getting lighter at 16dpo) her lines were weaker in the morning than the afternoon.? Maybe you're the same? Fingers crossed for you xx

Peanutty86 · 25/10/2017 07:02

@lgh05 god I’ve just done the same. And it’s fainter than yesterday. However my urige was a lot darker so I hope that’s why it looks fainter? Seriously though - we need to put the sticks down!!! I know that everything will be ok. I have no doubt in my mind that this pregnancy will result in a healthy baby. Might be naive, but for some reason I’m very optimistic. Guess that’s the good way to be?

OP posts:
Hulaballoo · 25/10/2017 07:45

I've been testing daily too, you're not alone gals. I really want to put those tests down lol. But I like seeing b the line and a line is a line, like pp said if your urine was more concentrated before etc it will affect it. I'm feeling positive too @Peanutty86
I'm having the occasional bouts of nausea but my boobs aren't sore where before with mmc, they were on fire so I'm trying to look at everything with "this is a new pregnancy, new experience" this is good and to try and enjoy...Hard at times but keep going with positive sayings 🙂🌈

lgh05 · 25/10/2017 07:46

Thanks girls @Peanutty86 @Hulaballoo. My DH just thinks everything will be fine too. I am going to take one more test a clear blue early detection and see what that says I also wonder weather my first wee isn't my best sample. Who knows I will then hold of till Friday when AF is due! The insomnia and all other symptoms are so not like my PMS so something is different. I need to just relax, and what will be will be. It's just very hard!

Becparks · 25/10/2017 08:03

Morning ladies! I tested again this morning haha! All fine. It’s silly isn’t it. I’m starving today. Staying away with work where there’s a spa so been for a swim and now I’m having a massive breakfast - before my boss arrives so he can’t see what a pig I am :)

Becparks · 25/10/2017 08:07

Quick query- my oh is Gibraltarian and we were planning to go to an Airbnb over the border in Spain end of August with our two other girls. Do you think it would be too much with an 8 week old?! We were planning to book now before all the good ones go! X

lgh05 · 25/10/2017 08:14

So I did a clear blue with my second wee or the day, the FRER is a few hours old but looks no different. No more test for me now till Friday. DH can see a line on both and has told me to stop stressing. What do you think?

lgh05 · 25/10/2017 08:15

Very annoying it's saying it won't upload an image as you are only allowed to up load 6 images a day.

Somethininthewater · 25/10/2017 08:42

A line is a line... I’m sure it’s a sticky one.

So, weird crap going on here this morning. Peed on an IC and when I wiped... PINK BLOOD!! Wtf?! I’m 10dpo. Feeling a bit crampy(mainly right-side) and the text looked negative. AF? Implantation? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I haven’t been to the loo since, I’m too scared to look!

Becparks · 25/10/2017 08:51

10dpo would be the right time for implementation bleed 🙏🏼
