I've been feeling "off" for a couple of days around the time my period was due which iswhy i tested. I feel a bit fluish and groggy. A bit hungover really but not sick . . Yet!
I do have a greatly increased sense of smell am constantly thirsty and seem to have no balance - I tried to do some yoga on saturday and just fell over!
Mostly I just feel scared ... We'd kind of assumed it wasnt going to happen. I stopped taking prenatal vits a year ago and we were thinking about adoption and talking about the benefits of skipping the baby bit. It's going to take a couple of days to get my head around I think!!!

Thanks everyone!
I don't think I can say one thing I did differently. I have been on a Slimming World diet as I wanted to lose a stone after holiday - lost 9 lb so far but am eating a bit differently as a result - not sure if that would make a difference though as I wasn't officially overweight to start with just at the top end of the "normal" range.
I also went to see my GP 3 months ago as my periods had got really heavy with clots. She gave me some tablets which really helped so I'm not sure if that changed the make up of my womb lining at all. I've only been taking them during my period as they aren't recommended at other times if you are trying to conceive because that's what they do.
Other than that I had a really obvious OV this month with lots of CM (sometimes I do, sometimes its less obvious).
Felt a bit nauseous yesterday but not sure if I'm imagining it. Seems like if I keep eating its ok but I'm then full pretty quickly so can't manage it all! - anyone else remember anything like that?
I also have a really loose tummy and constant bad gas (sorry TMI!) so hoping that's normal too!

That sounds totally normal! High protein snacks are best to keep nausea at bay.
The hormones do loosen up bowels a lot and then also pregnancy causes constipation too. You get both extremes! Yay! Haha
Hope to see you more on the FB group?

smawfl - that made me lol! (Don't know why I'll probably be doing the same in a couple of weeks!)
seaweed - I def will!
gaia - I do keep up with all the fb happenings just haven't had much to post as yet! I'm sure I'll be posting for lots of advice pretty soon. I'm just paranoid about posting in the wrong place as my in laws are on fb and we don't want to say anything until we've got a scan to show them.
Its still not really sunk in!

It obviously wasn't meant to be - started spotting yesterday and woke up the am and passed massive clots. 
Feeling pretty crap right now. So cruel to get a strong BFP after so long only for it to end like this.

I have had some cramping but not as bad as before. I'm pretty sure as I passed a large clot and am still bleeding heavily. Plus I have no pregnancy symptoms any more.
I haven't gone to the docs as it takes ages to get an appointment. I think I'll take it easy for a couple of days and take another test just to check.
Thanks guys x

I'm ok but feeling pretty down although I think that is partly hormonal. I have a busy week at work next week which I think will be good - less time to wallow.
Went out with some friends last night which was good except they were all asking when we were going to have babies (nobody knows we are trying in real life). Its kinda raised the question of whether we should tell people so they can be supportive . . . its feeling a bit lonely at the minute but I also wonder if we've left it too long now as I know some friends would be devastated to think of the times they have wound us up about kids over the past 2 years and I don't want to upset them.
