Six fertility friends -TTC #1 to BFP

[DandJ]

Oh em gee Sophia, I do see something and I usually suck at seeing lines on those IC's! Eeeeeeee......... this could be it! Test tomorrow too!

 

[stellaluna431]

I absolutely will. We are going to be away ALL day tomorrow (like early in the morning to late at night)... but I will try to get on here before we leave to post another picture! haha Now I wish I'd done it this morning!!!

 

[DandJ]

Aren't you feeling under the weather, so you can *cough* be sick in bed *cough* all day *cough* and post on BnB *cough*? I kid, I kid.. but now I really can't wait to see tomorrow's test!

 

[stellaluna431]

That's actually one of the reasons I decided to test! I told you, I don't even read it when people start talking about their symptoms because I don't want to symptom spot myself... so I had NO idea that feeling sick was a symptom. I just kept thinking, "maybe I am..." then today at work I started crying (at work!!!) three times. Three. Times. At work. I never lose it at work. So when I got home I decided I was going to test, figuring it was too early for anything to show up. And now I'm freaking out, and my throat is so sore so I can't shout it from the rooftops even if I want to which I don't because I'm not even entirely sure it's positive. Okay sorry- like I said- freaking out. I don't even know if I make sense. My hands won't stop shaking! haha

Also my husband is on his way home from work so you guys officially have seen the test before he has. I've already called him though, so at least he's in the know of the "maybe a tiny bit of a chance of a positive pregnancy test" waiting for him when he gets home.

 

[DandJ]

Yay! Hopefully it will get darker tomorrow! Excited for you!

 

[Mintastic]

OMG Sophia it is quite light but I totally see it without even squinting!!! Anxiously awaiting your next test! Are you feeling any better?

And Elena I don't usually read much into symptoms but darkening nipples is a major one that I have never heard of also being a PMS symptom like many of the others - plus if you are past your AF due date too that is super promising - FX crossed for you!

If we get 2 BFPs almost straight away then this is a lucky thread indeed!!!

 

[Mississippi03]

Lol stella I hate you! I told you that you would get a damn bfp before me lol

Thats def a line.. Retest.. Lol super jealous but super happy for you!

I tested twice now with my sensitive ones and nothing!

 

[stellaluna431]

Mint- Glad you see it too!! I do still feel awful, in fact I just keep feeling worse. My throat is killing me and my head is pounding. But honestly I'll take it and won't complain because it's all I want I'll keep you guys posted!

Brooke- It's still super super early!! Don't give up I honestly am just as surprised as you are. I am keeping you in my thoughts & sending so much baby dust your way!!

 

[Mississippi03]

Keep us updated lady! Fx

I'm on my way to the park we're spending the day at- I had no time to post before we left. I took another Wondfo and two FRERs today and got two lines on all of them. I took photos but can't post them on my phone. I'll post my 10DPO tests tomorrow though! I'm really hoping this is sticky!;

Woo hoo! Congrats girl! Fx it is sticky too!

I tested again this morning, bfn!

 

[DandJ]

Yay!! BFP on your first cycle! Congrats!!

 

[DandJ]

Question!

I'm a clean freak and clean my home with Clorox/Lysol wipes and Comet bleach for the tub... are these chemicals bad to be around when pregnant?

 

[Mintastic]

I bet Sophia's BFP on "1st cycle" feels more like second since it was so long!

American Pregnancy Association and March of Dimes say that bleach, Lysol and most cleaning products are safe but that some women wear gloves and use a window/fan to be safe. Others use natural cleansers such as those you buy at the health food store or those you cheaply make yourself using vinegar etc... just to be extra safe just in case but at the moment it doesn't look like any studies link those products to any known problems.

 

[DandJ]

True, her cycle was so long!

Thanks Mint! I thought so too but just wanted to be extra careful

 

[DandJ]

Sophia, please post a FRER! I want to see those pink lines

 

[stellaluna431]

Here ya go Jill- just took these 10DPO

DH wanted one that says "Pregnant" on it so I busted out one of these bad boys. It really hasn't sunk in yet despite my extreme fatigue and almost constant state of nausea. When I was walking around with my husband yesterday I told him, "I don't know how people don't know they're pregnant." I feel completely different physically- just sick and blah and tired, etc.- which is why I tested as early as I did (I actually started testing on Thursday, the first day I felt flu-like, and got a BFN obviously haha).

It really did feel like two cycles & ever since I O'd I've been telling DH that I really hope we caught the egg because I don't know how many looong cycles I can take. Keeping my fingers crossed that my last AF for quite some time is the one I had way back at the end of June!

I keep having dreams that I'm going to wake up in the morning and my test is going to be negative. Waiting until tomorrow to call my midwife and set up bloods. I am still so excited but also so nervous that something won't go right so I'm trying not to set myself up.

As for the cleaning products, I honestly don't know. Might be something to look into. I've always just used water & vinegar and added Dawn dish soap for grease or tougher messes haha. I'm a total hippie- don't be surprised if I name this baby Mint Haha totally kidding (only said that because she said her parents are hippies). I would at least wear gloves like Mint suggested just to be safe- even when TTC.

 

[Mintastic]

Lol @ hippieness! And fab tests! Thanks for sharing.

Congrats Sophia!! A very healthy and happy 9 months to you!

Last time I posted I said I suspected I was pregnant because of headaches 3 days straight. After that, I didn't really have much of anything. I figured if I were pregnant I'd have felt more symptoms due to my past couple pregnancies. Yesterday my breasts hurt more than usual but that's it.

This morning at 8dpo I took a Wondfo, didn't really see anything. Took an 88c Walmart test and saw a faint line! It was easiest to see in bathroom lighting so I showed DH this morning. He saw it too. I don't feel nuts lol. I'll take another test tomorrow and post. I feel happy but not very excited. I'm half-expecting another loss. We'll see where it goes.

Hoping everyone is having a fabulous weekend
