Hello!
So I got my BFP yesterday - since then I've done about 4 tests and still can't quite believe it. I'm slowly trying to get to grips with all these abbreviations - I feel like i'm trying to learn a new language!
I was on the pill until about 3 months ago, and since coming off it my cycles seem to have been about 40 days, however I have no idea at what stage of this I was ovulating. The numerous Clear Blue digital tests I've done are currently saying 2-3 weeks which makes me about weeks pregnant I think?
It's all really exciting it's just so bizarre and surreal that doctors don't confirm it - they just ask if you're happy with the tests that you've done! And seeing that I've done about 10 I can't really argue the results can I! Rang up this morning and booked in for my midwife appointment on the 27th as i'll be around 7 weeks then they think.
Here's my main predicament at the moment - weekend of the 27th I'm going to Glasgow for a weekend away with some friends to see a close friend that lives there so we don't see her much (we're in Manchester). As a group we all went through our early 20's together and this tends to be relived when we meet up, i.e. a lot of alcohol. Has anyone got advice to how I can handle this as it's genuinely causing me stress right now. I know the issue might seem petty, but I hate lying to people, one of the girls going is my closest friend and I want to tell her separately, not find out along with 3 other girls that it's just a reunion with.
I know this might seem like a petty worry in the grand scheme of life and everything that's happening right now, but every forum you look at just seems to deal with people who only ever go for 2 drinks with their partner so they can all be part of a big plan! There is nothing on how to deal with a full night out where people are going to expect to start drinking on the train and be out till 3 am!
