Any one have to wait until after AF is late for a BFP?

[KLa826]

Hi MrsD- I just send Piece a private message. Hope she's doing ok!
Still no horrible symptoms- thank goodness! Sleepy, sore boobs and off/on cramping are the worst of it.

Sorry to hear you haven't gotten a conclusive test or AF yet! Have you thought about trying a digital, maybe? It's much more clear than trying to decide if there is/isnt a line.

A day in the sun and garden sounds LOVELY! You should have a few drinks and enjoy it! It's quite cool here today for August and rainy.. The kind of day I'd like to stay in my pajamas and watching movies all day!

Hang in there! Hoping all the best for you!!

 

[MrsD140810]

I know it's a cheap test but..
Only took it this morning because i felt ill. Don't know what to think.

Going to head out in a bit to get a digital test.

 

[MrsD140810]

Eeeeeek! I can't believe it!!!
Kla we will be bump buddies!!!!!!

Hasn't sunk in!

 

[pieceofpie]

MrsD, Congratulation on your pregnancy. Oh yeah you and Kla have a lot to share. We are moving along nicely on this board. How are you feeling at the moment after all that AF drama?

Happy dance for you and Kla.

So this leaves Amanda to be added to the list. Keeping my FX for you A.

 

[KLa826]

Eeeeeek! I can't believe it!!!
Kla we will be bump buddies!!!!!!

Hasn't sunk in!

MRSD!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!
Doesn't get any more clear that that!!! I am SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!! (and for me! Haha!!! A bump buddy!!!! Did you tell DH yet???

 

[KLa826]

Piece- you AND Amanda are next- I just know it!

I am at a family reunion this weekend and am DYING to tell everyone but just feel its still a bit too early. Caved and told my one very close cousin... I have never seen her so excited!
Will be back more fully tomorrow or Monday, ladies!

MrsD... One more !!!!!!

 

[MrsD140810]

Thank you Piece. Hope you're doing well.

Thank you KLa! So exciting! It feels so strange though!

I found out yesterday morning, which was also my nephew's first birthday! DH was at home and I told him straight away. He was so excited too! Jokingly, he keeps telling me not to do things and to take it easy! DH doesn't want to tell ANYONE until we have the 12 week scan. It's going to be so difficult!!

I feel really strange about the whole thing. It hasn't sunk in yet. I feel really tired but haven't been sleeping well at night because my mind has been buzzing! Felt queasy yesterday morning. And I've felt a dull ache in my stomach, which I didn't get until yesterday, so I'm thinking it may be psychological because I know I'm pregnant!

I'm going to book up a doctor's appointment in the morning. I'm so excited about being a mum but a little apprehensive about physically being pregnant. It's really scary!

Remember when I said I was unsure about booking a holiday? Well we booked it and it's in a week. I really don't want to go now but we have to! Wish we'd booked up a holiday in this country. (But if I wasn't pregnant I would have kicked myself for not booking a holiday abroad!) Typical! I think the flight will be ok? It's only 3 1/2 hours. But I'm a bit concerned if anything does go wrong, I'm in a foreign country. Also, I don't want to be in the sun a lot and I'll have to be really careful with food! Do you think it'll be ok? I'll ask the doctors advice too.

Thanks again for your lovely comments! Hope you're all well.

Hi Girls, Mind me joining?

I'm currently on CD39. My cycles are usually 28-32 days. Upto now I've tested as BFN. With my son I didn't get a BFP until CD43 so still holding out hope!

 

[pieceofpie]

MrsD once again congratulation and I know how feel, its excited isn't it. Go and enjoy your holiday just don't eat anything raw or drink the water just to be on the safe side. Also take lots of sun block lotion if you burn easily but a little vitamin D is excellent for you and pregnancy. Don't over do it on the vacation and most importantly enjoy yourself.

Kla how are you doing, thanks for the vote of confidence in me but I am happy just knowing that you ladies are getting your hearts desires. It gladden my heart and lift my spirits. Know that the happiness you ladies feel I am feeling as well and I am really happy for you all.

Brunettebimbo, thank you for looking us up and joining, Prior to MrsD having her exciting news she went 40 days with AF and negative only to just discover here happiness at the end of the rainbow. There is a chance and hope so I will be keeping my FX for you and as you said you got a BFP with your son at 43 days. Best of luck

Amanda any word as yet?

 

[paigies mumma]

Hi lovely ladies,
I hope I can join in?
I love hearing about BFPs when there have been such struggles I am really not sure what I'm doing or how to count DPOs or CDs I have the 'my days' app which shows me that I am now two days late for my LMP. I must admit, I have done some bnb stalking I suppose I'm trying to find out if anyone has suffered from the following symptoms: sore bbs, dizziness (have been horribly dizzy), sore back, extreme tiredness. I'm really not sure what is going on. I've been to the doc and she has told me to do some more waiting (aaaaaargh) and see if it calms down at all. I've also done numerous tests (haven't we all ) all negative DH and I have been trying now for a little under 12 months - although I'm at the point of NTNP. I'm really sorry for jumping in on this post, it just seemed like each and every one of you sound so lovely I'm hoping someone has been through this or is going through this and might have some answers, I suppose I should just listen to the doc and wait I'm also sorry if I've been a bit vague or you are unable to understand what I'm rambling on about. I struggle to understand me at the best of times
Oh and we have a DD who is 5
Thank you wonderful ladies xxxx

 

[KLa826]

Hello there! Welcome to the new ladies We are happy to have you!!

MrsD- I think talking to the doctor is a good idea, but I think you should be absolutely FINE! Like Piece said, be careful about drinking water and just be reasonable about the sun...If you start to get hot, go sit down and have a cool drink or an ice cream in the shade! If I remember correctly, you are going to Greece, right? The most difficult part of that, for me, would be not eating feta cheese!!!! LoL! It's a soft cheese and is often made with unpastuerized so you have to be careful. DH loves a local Greek restuarant for gyro and souvlaki- but I won't go with him now because it's just not the same without feta cheese!!! Funny how you don't want to go on your trip and I am trying to figure out someplace we CAN go that won't cost much...We will be closing on our new home August 12 (though we can't move in until October because the current owners need extra time due to traveling) and have lots of renovations to do...In even less time now since our little one will be arriving in April! Projects we though we'd be able to stretch out, or that I'd be able to help with are now all on DH and he is probably going to have to hire out things he would have done on his own- just for the sake of time! I'd love to go somewhere- it would help distract me...Right now all I want to do is tell everyone I see!!! LoL! I don't know how you are going to wait 12 weeks!!! I am holding out for 8weeks and an ultrasound and then I think I will burst with the news! I am going for my first appt with the OB today, which I am very much looking forward to. I have been feeling (knock on wood) pretty normal and I want someone to tell me again that I didn't dream this whole thing up!!!

Hi Paige- glad you joined us!
You can count your cycle days simply by counting how many days since the first day of your last period...For example, my LMP started June 27th. Right now, I would be on cycle day 46. DPO is how many days after you ovulated. If you don't use an ovulation predictor kit, this is kind of hard to track -but you can count from your estimated ovulation day on the "My Days" app...I used that, too. Fertility Friend has an app that will actually track CD and DPOs for you if you want to give it a try!
If the doctor is telling you to wait, there's not much more you can do for now...Have you tested with first morning urine? The hormone that is released when you get pregnant is more present in the morning than throughout the day- so you may have a better chance of getting your BFP in the AM. Also, I'm not sure where you're from but in NY if you are trying to for 1 year with no results many doctors will refer you to a fertility specialist. Might be worth talking to your doctor about that to find out what's going on.

Brunette- FX'd for you!!! Keep us posted

 

[KLa826]

Sorry I can't count! Lol! I'd be on CD 40 now.

 

[MrsD140810]

Thanks for the lovely message Piece. Hope you're well. Thank you ladies. I now feel more comfortable with going away on holiday. At least it is a relaxing holiday not an adventure one, so I can just take it easy. I will make sure all water I get is bottled definitely and go to restaurants with good reviews so I know the food is good quality. I actually looked up about feta cheese and it said on the internet that it is ok? As it is pasteurised? I ate some yesterday! May be I should stop just incase!

Things must be so busy for you Kla, with the move. It will all be worth it in the end though! Even if you go away just for a long weekend or something? How's it all going? Not many symptoms for you then? I have felt so tired and am having stomach cramps on and off. Also, been needing to go for a pee at night, which is new. Other than that I'm fine.

I got a bit upset today though. Rang the doctor and in UK you don't see a doctor when you find out you're pregnant. As long as you've done the test, they take your word for it! I was making phone calls, just trying to speak to a midwife, or someone just to reassure me and couldn't get through to anyone! I had to fill out a self registration form online and that's it! A midwife is going to contact me between 8-10 weeks of my pregnancy! That sounds mad to me! That I don't even see anyone until towards the end of my first trimester! I would have thought you would at least have an initial appointment! So annoying. But that's the health service in the UK for you.

Welcome Paige and Brunette. This is a very supportive page and I think I would have gone mad by now if it wasn't for the lovely ladies on this page! All the best brunette! As long as AF hasn't shown, you're still in with a shot!
Paige - Symptoms can be so confusing can't they? I had symptoms before and could have sworn I was pregnant but wasn't. So this time when I had symptoms, I tried to ignore them but it turns out I was pregnant! Keep waiting and keep testing. Hopefully you will get your BFP soon. When was your last period?

 

[brunettebimbo]

Thanks for the lovely welcome! Currently CD40 and driving myself bonkers with stupid IC indents!!

 

[pieceofpie]

MrsD I think it stinks that you have to wait almost a whole term before seeing a doctor, what if there is early complication (God forbids) but I mean there are little things that could be picked up and happen before the second term, that is stupid. When I discover I was pregnant 12 years ago I started seeing the three days later and they confirm it with a pelvic and u/s. Two weeks later I had my first checkup officially and then monthly from then on and because I was high risk every two weeks.

Brunette and Paige I hope you both get your wish both Kla and MrsD are great inspiration.

 

[paigies mumma]

Oh, thank you for your responses ladies and a BF congratulations to you KLa and MrsD! just a matter of time before we get ours hay pieceofpie and brunettebimbo!!!
Ok, I live in Australia and my last period started 9th July, so would that mean my CD is 29? Hopefully I'm getting it now
Sorry for my delayed response, I think being in Aus is another world away
My doc did say that if we have been trying for longer than 12 months, they can then do some testing on DH and myself (oh and btw, before I understood what DH meant, I was thinking it was something else entirely! (D*** Head - oopsie)) he he he. I hope no body takes offence to that :-|
I really am do glad I came across this thread, I was feeling a little down. But you ladies are awesome thank you x

 

[paigies mumma]

MrsD I tell you, I have been watching and feeling these symptoms like crazy, it seems like I'll go 1 month and be like 'oh I didn't have this symptom last month' and convince myself that because if that that I was definitely pregnant! So confusing. I tried so hard to put it out of my head bit when there was something different, it's so hard not to automatically think the best I have friends and family who are falling pregnant so easily and it just makes me sad I do think I need to stop being so petty when we already have this beautiful little girl

 

[KLa826]

Hi everyone!
MrsD- I checked a feta cheese package while at the grocery store and it was made with pasteurized milk, so you are probably right! I guess I just lumped it in with blue cheese because of it's crumbly texture. I am VERY glad to hear it is safe afterall Otherwise I may have had Greek food withdrawls! Either way, I think it's more about moderation than cutting things out completely.

We aren't moving yet...Have been with my parents for 2 months and will probably be for another 2. It's going to get crazy in September/October when I am back to school, still in my late first/early second trimester, and we are trying to move and renovate??? I am thoroughly appreciating my time off now while I can!

Not many symptoms for me, at all, actually...Tired a lot and sore boobs are the worst of it. Also peeing more- having to get up at night, too (which I never had to do!!!) and I also have had some on and off cramping. Did you figure out an EDD MrsD? You are probably due, late April??

Waste of time at the doctor yesterday. Apparently someone screwed up and should've made me an appt with the dr...Instead I just did paperwork and got a tour. Going to see the dr on Friday now and then will go for blood work. I can't believe no one will see you until so far along, MrsD! I would keep track of any questions you come up with/ things you notices along the way so you don't forget anything when you finally do get to see the dr!

Paige- LOL about the DH!!! When I first started reading these threads I was always googling the meaning of "DH" "BD" "CD" etc! My cousin is actually married to a man from Australia and lived in Manly for a while! They are in NYC now but it's on my "bucket list" to visit there! You've got the CD count right on. Do you know about how long your cycle usually lasts? Most women have a 28-35 day cycle.
As far as the symptom spotting goes, we have ALL been there!!! I found that this month I was much less... analytical? About my symptoms and whatnot and this is the month it happened! I am pretty sure it was the same for MrsD! I was aware of when it would be most beneficial to DTD, but wasn't stressed about it like I had been in previous months. Stress and worry doesn't help anything, so maybe you should just go to the dr to see whats going on? If you learn theres a problem, you can hopefully get it taken care of, if there's not- you know it's possible and just have fun trying...Either way- like you said, relax and enjoy the beautiful girl I see that profile pic of yours!

Brunette- we are all rooting for you!

Hi ladies, how are you all. I am sooooo happy today because the gardener come and weed my yard so its looking good and its raining what more could a gal ask for eh.

Today is CD31 for me and because I was not charting all the time I cannot say what DPO am I and I am happy about that because I wont be symptom spotting and really not paying that much attention to it.

Just for the heck of it, I posted on a "AM I PREGNANT SITE" because it pop up when I was looking up benefits of Kale. So I went on and started rambling about me not charting because I am giving up on having kids but I am having these little aches here and there or the fact that my back and abdomen ache a little when I am standing and only ease when I lay or sit down, things like that etc.

Today I went on the site to see all my negative votes or if I had any at all and I notice I had 18 votes in a manner of 12 hours. 14 of the votes are a positive that I am knock up and 4 negative what a joke if only they knew my body. They would know that my body plays tricks on me all the time.

Today it made could not drink past 1/4 cup of my favourite coffee and I could not stuff myself of my favourite rite plantin, no my breast is starting to feel like they want to start shooting. I swear my body want me to symptom check and I am not going to give in and just wait it out until AF shows which should be tomorrow so I am just waiting for the AF symptom to come.

Paigies Mummie: How are you and yes that would make CD29, I hope you did some bding so you can get lucky. I am glad you join and I can assure you I don't think anyone got offended with the D thing. Sometime next year I plan on visiting your country just to breath in the uniqueness and beauty.

Kla and MrsD how are you ladies doing?


Have fun ladies and enjoy your day.

 

[brunettebimbo]

CD41 today. My longest cycle has only ever been 32 days. Tested BFN today
