OMG I have been AWOL from baby and bump for a few days and was so excited to see this thread!

Congrats to you Thinkpositiv, I am so pleased you will have a baby in time for the family Christmas you were talking about last week. It's so good to know sometimes things work out! Have you told DH yet I bet he was thrilled?

Anyway I wanted to bolt on my news.... I got my BFP this morning! I can't believe it I'm still shaking! Im not sure what went on as I am CD42 today so I'm now really confused as to when I o'vd. I got BFN's with ICs on CD30 through CD36 and then took a FRER on CD36 which was also neg. So was really depressed and thought I was out, and since I was working all through the weekend I didn't test again or go on internet.
First day off work yesterday and so I did an IC with FMU and thought if I squinted there might be a line but it was so faint when I kept looking it disappeared. So didn't think anything of it. Did another IC this morning with FMU and could see weird faint patch tried to take picture but didn't come out. I was wondering if I'd encountered the infamous evap (never seen an evap before). So did second IC and saw patch in same place. Getting suspicious now so decide to break out the big guns and "waste" a FRER..... 30 seconds in.... 2 lines its not faint its obvious.... OMG OMG nearly threw up in toilet. Ok keep calm, tried to unwrap a clearblue but hands properly shaking. Clear blue says the magic words PREGNANT 1-2 WEEKS.

I haven't told anyone yet thought I would share it with you guys first as this forum has helped me so much through difficult times. Will tell DP when he gets home from work. I know to be cautious this time after MC in Dec, but at the moment Im determined to just enjoy this and hopefully it will last!

Congrats to all other BFPs on this thread and GL and dust to all the ladies still waiting.
I will post my list of symptoms in a bit so that we can all symptom spot.

Hey! I was missing you! But I come and go too depending on work (I work 12 hour shifts...at the end I just crash!). But, first things first, CONGRATS on the GREAT news! I am SOOOOOOO excited for you! I knew you were pregnant - your symtoms were just so positive looking! You must be over the moon! I remember once you gave up home on a 2012 baby....esp since we both have crazy long cycles..... I bet you can't wait for the november baby now! woot woot!

yes, I am equally thrilled! oddly enough, depite bashing internet cheapies, it was using one of these on the 7th that tipped me off.....then I used a FRER but the line was BARELY there....not a squinter, but I didnt beleive it!

I too did a digital clear blue - the conception indicator is just that - from time of conception....so basically shortly after O.

I looked at your symtoms, and I peg your ovulation day as CD28-29..... for me, sensitive nipples immediatley follow O day.....and that would mean your BFP was on 12-13 DPO...which totally makes sense.

Dont stress about O'ing late! LOTS of women have long cycles and get pregnant and have healthy happy pregnancies... I O'd on day 31 and am feeling really good about this bean sticking! We only did the deed once....the day before O...so I am confident we had a fresh egg and good strong fresh sperm in there!

Dangermouse99 - welcome! this has been a good thread for positives! Your symptoms sound promising. Keep us posted on the testing results!

Hey Thinkpositiv, this is just so exciting... it's weird how we seem to be on the same path! I dunno bout you but I'm just gonna make the most of it this time but I have a good feeling that everything is falling in to place now!

It's weird how a week ago we were symptom spotting and you were just so chilled and positive and think that is often the key to success!

Thanks for your feedback on the Ov date that makes sense. So I have been fiddling with a calculator and it should be mid November I guess which is awesome cos its just before my 31st birthday woohoo.
When do you calculate your due date to be??

I have to say Im not impressed by the ICs on the whole. Ok so when I got the BFNs they wernt ambiguous they were just clear white no hint. But the BFPs I got this morning were so weedy and faint that if I was a novice I would have said BFN! I might upload a pic actually to illustrate how bad they were.

Don't tire yourself out with too many 12 hour shifts! You need to chill for the next 9 months lol!

hey! yes, this is super exciting for the both of us. I used the calulator on
https://pregnancy.about.com/cs/pregnancycalendar/l/blpregcalc.htm

and it came up with the same date as my doctor, which is november 16! I know when I O'd and since my cycles are long though (didn't O till day 31) I counted back 2 weeks from my O date and entered that as the first day of my last menstural period.... Doctors date the pregnancy from the first day of your last menstural cycle....but they also assume most women O 14 days after the first day of their menstural cycle........Anyways, I am having a early dating scan because my periods are irregular, but I am confident my date is fairly accurate because I used ovulation tests....but could still be off my a day or 2, but not by 2 weeks which it would be if he used the actual first day of my last menstural cycle!

yeah, i am not impressed with internet cheapies either! like you said, if I was a novice I would have thought the very, very faint shadow I saw was nothing...but I knew I was pregnant because I had that feeling...and the next day I pulled out the big guns, just like you, and yup, I was!

i am not sure how my shifts will go this week - i will go in tomorrow and see how I do, but honestly, yesterday after a 10 hour sleep I took 2 naps and was exhausted again by 8pm! the fatigue is certainly hitting me hard!
 
Lol nice!!! :) I have tested like everyday and its negative! The day my temp shot up I took an opk to see if it would be positive....negative...so I dunno...my chart changed though...it say I ovulated on Cd 39....that's crazy cuz af was due on Cd 40....now its saying af is due on the 26th...that's like cd5?something!!!! Really?! So confused...
 
Do you usually have long cycles?? if we look at your crosshairs it really does look like quite the o jump (compared at what it was before)...hmmmm i dunno hun

my cycles vary...ive had a long cycle like this before....but that was when my thyroid was still a little off....im going to check it tomorrow to make sure its better...should be doctor uped my dosage so we will see.
 
Congratulations to all of you ladies with BFP's and thanks ThinkPositiv for sharing your symptoms.
I'm due my AF Tuesday and have some similar symptoms and I also feel similar to how I did when newly pregnant with my daughter.
I'm trying to keep grounded as its our first cycle TTC and I'm not sure that we got the timing right (im only going by dates, mind) but you never know. Not planning on testing unless AF goes over due but the wait is driving me crazy x

i dont know anything about fertility friend or cross hairs and all that stuff...or tempting.... so i am useless here..... BUT, did you body give you any signals that you may have ovulated? like when you look back? Mine are always the same..... crazy horny the day before I ovulate...and my CP moves SUPER high, soft, wet and open.... I never get EWCM before O....just lots and creamy/watery..... When I see all these signs, I confirm with a ovulation strip....but other than that I always know. Sometimes I think out bodies are smarter than we think.....

How old is your daughter? Baby number 2 - soooo exciting! Trust your body....its quite smart! I think it is super smart to save money and not test till AF is late...but it always seems I am on my days off just before...and well, find myself peeing on a stick! tee hee hee! I admire your strength! Tuesday is just around the corner! I can't wait to see if this cycle is your cycle!
 
ok thanks..I'm currently using the ones from makeababy.ca... I'm debating on using my frer soon if I dont get af...I'm about 15 dpo and my temps are still very high
 
Congrats to you both & wishing you a happy healthy time over the next 8 months!

I'm @ dpo11 and its driving me potty!!

I'm totally exhausted despite getting at least 8 hrs sleep each night if not 9 hrs more often than not.

I've had twinges on and off for the past 7 days on both sides of my lower abdomen and have felt mild cramping from time to time.

But the worst thing I've been feeling (which I never get) is totally and utterly hormonal!! Anything and nothing has been leaving me with tears in my eyes or unrationally irritated when I'd normally brush things off with a shrug & a smile.

I'm really really hoping this is just my hormones going mental and I'll be very disappointed it if transpires to be onset of PMT irritability that I've never really suffered with previously!! :shrug:

Has anyone else with recent BFP's noticed this hormonal shift?

Oh how to get through the next few days staying sane before I can test :wacko:

Thanks hun :flower:

I'm the proud mummy of a beautiful one year old girl and having her is the best thing that ever happened to me :happydance:

I'm really excited about TTC again and although I'm determind to hold out and not test it's doing my head in, lol. My symptoms seem to be more or less gone today :-( I know they do come and go but I do feel a bit less confident than yesterday. Just looking forward to next week so I can find out either way.
Hope everything's well with you today. I'll let you know whether it's my month or not xx
 
Congrats on your :bfp::happydance:!!! This gives me hope as I also suffered an early MC in January. Hoping I will also have some good news to share next week when I test. Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months.:flower:
 
Hi ladies! I just got my :bfp: at 11 dpo. I thought I would share some symptoms with you! I didn't chart day to day so I can only give an estimate.

Starting around 3/4 DPO, I noticed a wet feeling in my lady parts. A tiny bit on my underwear but nothing crazy. Continued until around 6-8 DPO, then went pretty much dry.
Had some irritating headache a few nights around 4-8 DPO.
Started with AF like cramps 9/10 DPO. They got pretty strong 10 DPO night, I went to the bathroom probably 9 times in a two hour span, thinking AF was coming.
Also 10 DPO at night, my breasts started to hurt. The outsides of my boobs, mainly the part closest to my armpits. For those who have had a baby before, it felt like my milk was coming in and I was getting engorged - without actually getting engorged, if that makes any sense. My breasts also started to swell a bit.
11 DPO - woke up and my breasts were still really sore, cramps were gone though. Breasts stayed sore and full all day (still are!) and then I caved in and tested around 7pm.
Oh and I also found myself extra gassy :blush: pretty much the whole TWW.
GL ladies and baby dust to all!!!! :hugs:
