Does Anyone Else Not Test Early? JOIN US (12 BFP So Far!)

[koj518]

Thanks Noo!

its so great that this board has been getting multiple BFPs every month recently!! It's becoming a really lucky board!

 

[Buttercup2]

Noo, congrats!! Digi positive is awesome!!

 

[Buttercup2]

I had all the signs of ovulation including a couple of positives on opk, but my bbt is still way low, so I haven't ovulated yet.
I came down with the flu and was out of work sick with a high fever for a few days (cd11-cd15)... I'm hoping this is just a temporary delay from that. I'm on cd18 right now. I wish this cycle would hurry up and be over so I could try out that clomid! It's sitting on my counter taunting me

In the meantime, DH and I BD every day. We did it last month (BD every day during the fertile window) and it didn't get us pregnant, but the previous several months of every-other-day didn't get us pregnant either. So who knows. At least we are having fun

We got DH's SA results back the other day tho--normal! Phew!

 

[Buttercup2]

Koj, you're right--this *is* a lucky board. You and I are next I can just feel it

 

[Noo]

Your turns next

My ovulation was delayed this cycle by 3 days because I had a bout of cystitis, don't worry xx

I was just checking in and glad to see Baby1 and Noo got their BFP yea hope you both join the us on non testers refugee page lol.
To the rest of you ladies lots of baby dust to you. This page got me through so much.
Well I am 16 weeks and the sickness is gone yea though smells can set me off sometimes but sooooo much better. My bump is popping out and I am sure I felt some flutters this week but got a few weeks yet before I feel kicks.
This is such a lucky thread.

Yay! Where abouts is this thread? x

My test is definitely darker today so I'm happy Especially as "today" was 3am! I'm sure it'd be even darker now but not using last FRER till at least tomorrow then last digi in a week or two.

I have been reading this thread for months (10 months to be exact) but very rarely posting as i felt i didn't want to show how disappointing i feel when af shows or the few times it has been late and then getting a BFN.

I just wanted to say everyone has been amazing and i love the link that ties everyone together and how supportive everyone is. I just didn't feel that posting was for me although it is a great support for many...

Anyway i got my bfp today! In total shock! AF was due on Wed but it didn't show. I have been cramping the last few days but something told me to test. I was going to hold off until tomorro but thought WTH! 2 lines came up straight away. DH was down stairs and when i came into the room i said that he should sit down and then i showed him the test. We just stood hugging and crying our eyes out still doesn't feel real. Just did a digi as i have loads of pee (TMI)! and its says pregnant 2-3. Makes it sink in a little more!
We have our first appointment with the gynae a week on Friday. Isn't it strange how you finally get the appointment through and it happens? Hoping and praying the bean sticks and everything is ok but I am massively relieved that we have finally gotten a bfp

Oh wow that's great Jaynie! Congrats on the BFP!! I will say though as much as everyone loves a thread stalker we would have loved to have you join in on the ups and downs with us Wishing you a happy and healthy 8 more months!

Talk me off the testing ledge ladies!!! I'm only 7dpo but I am itching to test!! The bloating and irritability are off the charts. Normal things are getting on my nerves, my patience is really low with my kiddos. The bloating is so uncomfortable that last night I drank a peppermint tea to settel my stomach. I even woke up bloated and as soon as I eat I can feel that I'm not digesting things right. Gas and burping are accompanying the bloating blah! Been having weird dreams. This morning I woke up upset at DH for something he did in my dream hahaha! It just felt so real! I also almost burst out in teasrs hen I as listening to an Adele song! I'm trying so hard to tell myself that is not worth taking a test right now, that it is going to be really disappointing to see a BFN. Gonna have to go to the grocery store later, its gonna be hard to stay away from the aisle where they have the hpt. Talk me off the ledge!!!

 

[Noo]

7dpo is REALLY early to test so I think you need to try and hold out till at least 10dpo if you can Think of the wasted tests and anxiety of squinting at your test x x

 

[Toms Mummy]

Wow, I've only been away a few days and there's 3 bfps this cycle!!!.... Congrats to you all

:haapydance:

 

[Toms Mummy]

Congrats Jaynie! What a gorgeous BFP! Do you mind posting what you did differently this month??

Thanks and a H&H 9months to you!!

Daisy - 7dpo is much too early!!! Like Noo said, try to wait at least another 3days!

Welcome back Toms! No more non-symptom spotting! haha. Good luck this cycle!

Buttercup - I hope you're right!

afm - 5 more days til AF arrives. No symptoms that stand out but that might be because I'm just not symptom spotting this cycle. haha.

 

[Jaynie82]

This is one month i haven't kept a proper note of everything but what we did differently.....
- we bd 5 nights in a row around ovulation (3 days before and 2 after)
- used conceive plus each time
- drank loads of water and peppermint tea
- i've been having acupuncture once a week since the beginning of Sept (not sure if it was helping as thats when my cycles started to lengthen slightly but found it massively relaxing so continued to go). My next appointment is on Monday
- started doing some yoga after xmas

Started a new job the week before xmas (moved departments) but funny enough i'm now working in the baby department....

Slightly worried though as i haven't been taking folic acid and i've had a few cheeky glasses of wine over the last week weekends.

I also had 2 cycles were i didn't ovulate - those happened to be the 2 cycles i got my 21 bloods done and hence my referral to the gynae specialist. My own gp didn't want to proscribe me clomid as twins run in my family and she was concerned.
Hope this helps xxx

 

[BubsMom17]

No no no. No. Don't do it!!! You''ll only feel discouraged and defeated. Don't ruin the suspense quite yet!

 

[Toms Mummy]

Yup, no symptom spotting anymore!..... Good luck Koj x
