Hahaha I was thinking it but wasn't going to say it hahaha what dpo are you?

@Flowersflowers121 I'm pretty certain I will be 19 or 20 DPO 😁

@Leanne053 I've been down the could it be twins Google rabbit hole as well got my bfp on a digital at 8dpo and I've just been feeling so nauseous 24/7 which I never got until 2nd trimester with my wee boy 🙈 and even then it lasted an hour

@Flowersflowers121 it's light but definitely there 😍 wasn't convinced it would show at all today. I will test again Wednesday then it should hopefully show on the clear blue digital monitor by Friday which will make it feel real.

Morning all! Decided to POAS this morning to make sure I wasn't seeing things yesterday, and got a positive in writing. I'm still anxious as AF isn't due until Wednesday or Thursday and I'm pretty scared of chemicals and other things. I thought the TWW would be the worst - but I think I'm more anxious now!

@C88 😂😂 ooooh who knows! It's hard for me to know if such a dark line is totally as expected for when I did the test. I didn't track ovulation this month so can only go off EWCM which would make me 19/20DPO but then yesterday was the first day of my missed period so 🤷‍♀️ everything pregnancy related is a whirlwind to me at the moment but the happiest whirlwind I could ever imagine!

Haha awhh yeah, maybe that's why it's a darker line. Mine below is from today (14dpo) :)

@dobby13 yayyyy, welcome and congrats again! Xx

I forgot to attach haha whoops

@Flowersflowers121 Ahhh that explains it all then 😁😁😁 congratulations to you!

Can I join please, got my BFP this morning. This will be baby number 2, my little boy 🌈 will be 10 months at the end of this morning. No idea how many DPO I am, based on symptoms I'd say 14 but my cycle has been really long due to BF. AF due next Tuesday if I go by the length of the last 4 or so, so holding my breath until then. Congratulations everyone 💕

End of this month*

This was my stick 2 or 3 days after af was due it went this colour instantly so must have had high hcg level

So far so good over here, 5 weeks and no bleeding! Promising myself not to pee on a stick again until I'm 6 weeks. Just taking it a day at a time. No symptoms yet apart from tired and hungry, but that might be kind of standard for me 🤣

Anyone else struggling to reduce caffeine? Not sure whether it’s just in my head or if pregnancy tiredness has kicked in already but the struggle is real.

@BellaBella38 this is my first pregnancy so I'm full of questions but why would you continue to test if you've had a BFP? Is this something I should be doing? ☺️

@Leanne053 some people do it to see if the line is getting stronger, especially if they’ve had chemicals before. But you have a nice strong line so I wouldn’t worry about doing it again, save yourself some money!

@Charl881 yes I really am! I've been pregnant 3 times (only have one DD though) and I've never found it as hard as this. But actually now you mentioned it I think I often feel tired anyway at this time of year as the seasons change so maybe it's adding to the sleepiness!

So AF was due today 11dpo so I've taken a test morning afternoon and now I just want digital to say 3+ then il stop testing I think this is todays tests

I’m getting worried seeing all these strong tests, I tested this morning and still only 1-2 weeks on a clear blue. I’m between 4 and 5 weeks pregnant…. Technically 5 today but didn’t ovulate until cd20/21 so really more like 4 and a day or two.

@Charl881 I've never done a weeks one because I see so many women on here not getting the right number and I think it would make me too anxious. Do you have any cheap tests you can do? Seeing the line change from today to a couple of days time might be more reassuring?

@Leanne053 Hi, first of all you really don't need to keep peeing on sticks... it can become an expensive hobby! Some people like to see line progression where the test lines get darker. I've had previous miscarriages and just want to check in every couple of weeks to see if I'm still pregnant. In reality at this stage all you can do is take your vitamins and wait it out! I can self refer to midwives at 6 weeks, so I really want to make sure I'm still pregnant when I do! 🤣

@calipoppy yeah I have a stash of one step ones I’m working my way through! My main anxiety is that I’m going on holiday next Monday with my parents and it would just be awful if I miscarried abroad with them!

@BellaBella38 okay I see now makes sense! Thank you for replying! I'm not telling any friends or family yet so just me and my boyfriend and we both have no idea what to expect other than what I read online! I am taking folic acid with vitamin D and also Floradix for iron and B12, I phoned the doctors today and receptionist said she would add me to the midwives list who'll phone for an appointment. So I'm guessing like you say there's not much else I can do now 😅

@Charl881 Oh my days I know what you mean about the caffeine! I'd cut down a few years back to 1 cup of coffee a day (except for high days and holidays) and now I've cut down to none at all. How I'm still functioning at work is nothing short of a miracle! Hang in there ❤️

@BellaBella38 well done that’s great! I’m enjoying a couple of cups of instant coffee while I can, I went right off it in my last pregnancy so might as well make the most of it.
