BFP today - posting symptoms b/c this helped me during all those 2WW's!

Hmmm still could be early to be on a test

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.

Ladies, can I join in please??
This seems such a lucky thread with some BFP's so hopefully some luck could spread to me!!!
I am 8DPO today, up to 6 DPO I had absolutely no symptoms apart from the fact I was very thirsty.
Yesterday, I had very very painful AF cramps, in fact at times they took my breath away, I really thought AF was coming as last month I had a 22 day cycle. I had a bath last night at the cramps eased but I have been up throughout most of the night with some very strange cramps / pains midway between my belly button and pubic bone - I have never felt these before - it was the strangest of feelings, I was also very hot and sweating a lot, vague I know but I just cant expain how I felt, they have gone this morning and I now have some very mild AF cramps, and feel pretty crap due to lack of
Any ideas ladies, anyone else had this????

I hope you see your BFP early then... what tests are you gonna use cos I am quite dissappointed with the ICs on the whole... they are weak for early detection!

I had mild cramps and twinges and a sort of warming feeling (not like pain just warm) in my lower abdomen. So these are defo good signs hopefully you will get some more symptoms in the next few days!!

Wishing you lots of luck!... Maybe your cramps are implantation pains as surely it is too early for AF? Hot moments are defo a good sign I had a couple over the weekend! When do you think you will test?

I've had a warm feeling too. When did your symptoms start?

I've got lots of IC but I know they aren't great. I usually use frer but I know they are terrible for evaps so im really not sure!

Ok well here's the problem I'm not really sure when I O'vd now but I'll break it down in terms of cycle day and maybe you can help me work it out lol!

CD21 first noticed EWCM plus tiny brown spotting (spotting lasted 3 days very slight amount).

CD28 huge increase in EWCM in morning (i.e. handfuls TMI!)

CD29 same EWCM as day before plus slight almost unnoticable sore right nipple.

CD30 same EWCM as day before now both nipples are definately sore when touched. Abdo pain starts kinda like weak AF pain noticable but not strong.
Slight dizzy moment at work when my head went fuzzy. (BFN in afternoon with IC).

CD31 pain worsens defo feels more like AF pain but doesnt come in waves like AF it is constant.

CD32 pain and warming sensations in lower abdo. (BFN with FMU with IC).

CD33 pain subsides to barely noticable.

CD34 and 35 same as CD33 BFNs both days.

CD36 some moderate pain in lower abdo that is a bit one sided on the right.
Bought a FRER but got a BFN with it and with an IC both in afternoon.

CD37 - CD40 no pain at all in abdo. But continuing the nipple sensitivity that began on CD29. Had hot moments at work over the weekend but at the time figured I was rushing around to much but in hindsight were prob also a symptom.

CD41 used an IC with FMU maybe saw a line but thought I imagined it! Didn't think much of it.

CD42 used an IC with FMU. This was to be my final attempt at POAS... if this was neg then I was gonna draw a line under this month and consider myself out. Sort of saw a faint beyond faint patch were line should be... tried to photo it and failed.... so did another IC instead. Same thing faint maybe pink smudge. Tried FRER got second line pretty much instantly. Then did Clearblue it said 1-2weeks!

Sorry this is another really long post lol! Hope these symptoms help others who are manic symptom spotters like me!

Can anyone help me decide when I o'ved though. I thought the spotting + EWCM I had around CD21 was it. Or was it when I had loads of EWCM???
Dumb question but..... when the clearblue says 1-2 weeks is that 1-2 weeks since implantation???

I would say cd31 or 32 as you had ewcm before and then pains so ov usually comes after that. Also you tested 10 days after and got a faint which would've been 10dpo x

Thanks, Wow I O'vd reallllly late then what a weird month! I hope it doesn't mean anything bad. I have heard that late Ov is linked to MC. Really dont wanna go through that again.

Do you usually have longer cycles? I wouldn't worry lovely, stay positive and be happy! Congrats again!

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!

 

[dangermouse99]

I tested but bfn.... I feel like af is coming on....but this cycle I had symptoms that ive never had before...

Sugarpi - any update for us?????
