Hooray Steph! !!!!! Best news of the week for sure! Congrats and enjoy your snacking!
Congratulations Steph! I was going to tell you the story of my cousin earlier but then decided against it in case you didn't get a BFP but I guess now I can tell it. My cousin had been trying for almost a year when she conceived her daughter. The cycle she got her BFP her temp dropped and she was so sure the cycle was a bust she went out and had a few drinks and a few days later BFP!
Thank you everyone! Looking forward to more BFP news (and a pos OPK for lyagirl!)
Yaaaaaaaay! Steph!!!!!!!! :D I am so freakin thrilled for you!!
congrats on the bfp girls whooohooooooo, well my last pos opk was the 25th of june we bd that night and the morning after, so i guess im 16 dpo so im going to do a preggas test tonight, i have been getting excited but yesterday i started to get brown discharge and i normally start to get that 3 days before my period so im already getting negative thoughts, ive just got two tickets to dr potters seminar next week to find out more info on ht, we cant afford it right now but the thought of going months trying to get pregnant n then mayb having another boy is making me wonder if we should get a loan, arggggggggg sorry for the moan girls ;( just peeed off xx
Sorry butterfly. Hopefully the spotting u experienced could b implantation bleeding?
Ok so im only 4dpo and I have no idea y im writing this down because its so early and its silly. I have been very hungry the past 2 days like eating non stop (sorry le diet) yesterday I had minor nausea very minor but I was obviously paying attention to my body. Today again very minor nausea and then I couldnt finish my coffee and that Never happens (I love my coffee). Im so annoyed at myself because im only 4dpo and my hopes r so high. :( I just want to b pregnant sobadly. And ofcourse im soohappy for u ladies steph myurkanin and mum and all the other ladies who received bfps. Im praying so hard 2 join u ladies soon.
I'm so happy for u steph!!! :) it was defo ur turn to get a bfp.x
Blessed. You can have nausea 4 dpo. It could be either progesterone or pregnancy related or both. When I'm pregnant my progesterone symptoms are always intensified compared to when I'm not.
Blessedmomma - the 2ww really sucks, it's absolute torture! Rosie is right, you could be feeling it regardless. Hoping you get a BFP in a weeks time x
Congrats to everyone with a BFP. I am so happy (and a little sad) today. My very best friend in the whole wide world since I was 5 years old just got a BFP (she wasn't swaying). I am 11 dpo and tested this morning (I know, it is still a little early), and got a BFN. Obviously, I am genuinely thrilled for my friend, but I was so hoping we would get preggo the same month, but it looks like it won't happen given the fact that when I was preggo with DS I got a positive on 11 dpo. AF isn't due until Monday, so I will retest then if she doesn't show up, but it is still a bit of a bummer.
My friend and I were really lucky, entirely unintentionally, we had our first boys 11 days apart. It was awesome because they were doing all the same stuff at the same time and we were having the same challenges and celebrations around the same time. I was just hoping to get to do that again for babies #2.
On the flip side, I was invited to interview for my DREAM job this week (it's a long shot, but still an interview is the first step to getting it), so if I get the job, it might be better if I am not pregnant. So its a bit of a mixed bag for me today.... sigh....
I'm really hoping feeling like I'm going to start AF any minute when I'm only 6DPO is a good sign. I'm cramping and my back and legs are hurting which usually means AF is coming but it's not time for that yet.
Hey Christi, I only got my BFP today at 12dpo with a digital. The cheapies were bfn today and yesterday. With my DS I had faint positive lines on 11dpo. Go for that interview regardless! Good luck!
Jamie - fingers crossed it's implantation :)
Oh, absolutely, I am going to the interview, regardless--I worked until the day before I went into labor and I'm sure that I will do the same thing this time around.
Steph, thanks for the pep talk about the negative result, it is still early, and I was using a cheapie so Monday may be a different story. (And of course, congrats on your BFP!!!!) But I still have an intuition that I'm not preggo this go round. We aggressively swayed for our first month TTC, so it's not like I've been getting BFN for months on end or anything. We might loosen a select few things for TTC month #2 (like increasing the time between repHresh and the attempt), but I will have this child for the rest of my life, so being patient to try to do the best (and reasonable) sway possible is important to me. I will be happy to have a healthy baby of any gender (since this is our last), but I want to know in my heart that we did everything reasonably within our power to sway for a girl.
Swaying reminds me of this prayer that my mom used to have hanging on her wall--
"God, God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference."
While we are trying to NOT be all Martha (at least for TTC pink), we do want to change the things we can (diet, supplements, pH, frequent release, one attempt, etc...), we also have to accept the things that we cannot change. May we all have the wisdom to know the difference!!
Good luck to everyone!
Omg christi I have been saying that prayer to myself for the past couple of days!! The words are soo true. Thank u for sharing it. :)
Rosie ur early symptoms give me soo much hope yhat maybe im not imagining it. And maybe the more pregnancies u have the earlier u feel them??
Steph again im so happy for ur bfp!
Jamie I would take that as a very good sign!
Oh my god was just checking this thread and cannot believe what I'm reading!! Massive massive huge congrats Steph!!! That is the most amazing news ever! So happy for you You so deserve this girlie!!!!

Fingers crossed for you BlessedMomma!! It has to be your turn next. 💜💜
And goodluck with your interview Christi! 😊 And my cheap tests were still all negative til yesterday, despite my very dark BFP on FRER over a week ago. Oh, and my intuition was very wrong!! 😉
Jamie, hope it's implantation!
Just got back from vacation a few hours ago and saw your awesome news Steph!!!!! Sooo excited for you! Congrats! I hope I'll be joining you next month!
Hmmm.... so I just got a teeny tiny spot of dark brown dried looking spotting tonight (11 dpo)... maybe implantation spotting?? AF doesn't usually start this way for me so it is definitely something different. I'm trying not to read too much into this, but this is my first sort of symptom that might be a glimmer of pregnancy. Cautiously optimistic........ come on BFP!!!!! (Om, om, om, going to my zen place of patience and serenity so I am not peeing on a stick every time I go to the bathroom, LOL....)
That sounds really promising, Christi! I hope this is it for you! Are you going to try and test early?
Still trying not to get my hopes up too much so I am not testing, and it will be a happy surprise if AF doesn't show. I have never still had sore breasts for this long (and as early as I did) when not pregnant, but it feels too much to hope for after such a long journey. Thanks for sharing the Serenity prayer, though--I needed that!
I know I said I wasn't testing this weekend, but spurred on by steph's bfp and the thought that there will be tons of drinking at ds's birthday party, I broke down and tested this morning. ohmigosh, the faintest of pink links with the frer! I feel almost silly posting a pic as I could just barely see that second pink line in person, and I'm not even sure if its showing up on the pic at all. Somehow, I need a stronger line to convince me it's real. Lol! But I'm feeling cautiously optimistic today. :D

I see it. Congratulations girldreamz :D
I see it too! Congrats girlie!!!
I definitely see that! It looks like my 9DPO positive with DD and I know what you mean about wanting a darker one for it to feel real but to me it looks real enough for a CONGRATULATIONS!
Thanks! I'm already planning the gooey grilled cheeses I'll have for dinner to celebrate. Lol! I tried to make one for breakfast...but all the cheese in our house has been so unused that it's molded. Ha! Crossing my fingers it was enough for sticky pinkness.
So many BFPs! Congrats to you ladies!
Yay Girliedreamz congrats!! Enjoy the cheese!! :)
Fantastic news!
Girlie any line is better then the stark white hpts ive been seeing. Congrats again! :)
Soo im 5dpo anyone else still in the 2ww?? Theres been soo many bfps I feel like this is going to b a great month, hopefully they keep on comming
I got my positive on first response yesterday, so today I celebrated with a brownie and a spoon of ice cream.... It was so friggin good, but I got a bad stomach ache. I haven't had any processed food in three months and I am allergic to dairy, but, wow!! It was worth the pain..... LolQuote:

Just wanted to say..............
CONGRATS TO EVERYONE!!! On your very new pregnancies.....
I'm still in the 2ww... I have been trying to wait, as I know it is pretty hard not getting a bfp. Yesterday was a tough day for me--lots of interactions with baby related things--and I feel a little silly feeling optimistic when so many months have come and gone. Yes, this month feels different, but I guess it would be a miracle for it to be. I'm trying to just assume it's a negative so that I won't be disappointed, but I know it will still be hard.
That said, I am so thrilled for all of you who are getting your bfps. For some reason, it isn't hard to get your good news, probably because you all understand the deep desire of this.
I posted update test pics on my thread...
I'm 8DPO right now and I've been feeling pretty crappy. DH is working nights, he hasn't in a long while and I'm not good with schedule changes so that could be it. But this morning I caved and used one of my IC pregnancy tests it's a "sure predict" that says it detects 10miu. I thought I saw a "hint" of a line so I put it on countdown to pregnancy and so far the vote is 70% positive (with 21 votes). It's definitely nothing I would call a BFP so I probably shouldn't have tested because now my hopes are way up. (I dumped the pee while it was developing because I really thought there was no way anything would be on it so I'm trying to hold my pee to take a FRER later). http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/14/vadatuva.jpg
And now looking at that pic on here I realize it's really not noticeable at all. In person I can see it and if you play with the tools on countdown to pregnancy you can see it but I definitely think if you have to work that hard it's not a BFP but I'm anxious to test again.

Good luck Jamie! I "think" I might see something, but I didn't have good results with SurePredict (evap line or false + for me) so I'd try a FRER asap.
I learned yesterday that my best friend (who has 2 boys and swayed for 7 months) went in for her big 12 week appointment on Tuesday and there was no heartbeat. :( She had a D&C on Thursday and is devastated. She asked me to update her sway in the post your sway section so I just did. I'm so sad for her as we had hoped to be pregnant together. She had all the signs of a healthy pregnancy and can't believe this happened to her. :(
I only just spotted this! Congratulations xxxxxQuote:
