February 2012

BFFP Month - big fat feb positive!

Wow, so February was a pretty amazing month....

4 +2

Today by my calculations I am 4 weeks and 2 days, or 16 dpo, or the equivalent of cd 31

I had the urge to poas on my CB digi and guess what.....?

It said 'Pregnant  3+' !!!!

3+!!!!!

I'm so happy it's unreal.

I swing between total terror that this will be snatched away from me to sheer joy.

The new reading has also confused me, as according to Clearblue, this means I am over five weeks pregnant, which by my maths is incorrect.

But hey, what really matters is that the hormones are going in the right direction :)

3+ weeks since conception, or 5 weeks pregnant but I'm only 4 +2 at most.

Other news:  I asked The Bear whether we should go for a private scan...he's not so keen and thinks it could be damaging to the bean. I can't hold out for another 7-8 weeks! It's all I can think about....

Ah well, we'll see....

4 +1

Today marks, the first day after my expected af.

I was so nervous yesterday, expecting to see Big Red turn up. Thankfully nothing.

13 dpo...just checking!

13 dpo and tested on a Clearblue digital....

Still pregnant...yay!

Hormones are rising...thank goodness xx

So far, so good...!

Going by my calculations, which could be waaaaay off, I am due on 1st November, which puts me at 3 weeks, 6 days today.

I'm still nervous AF will make a surprise appearance tomorrow.

I'm nervous about just about everything to be honest. I'm delivering training today and can barely concentrate!

So the symptoms so far...?

Barely any. If I wasn't ttc and looking out for signs, i'd never guess I'm pregnant. I'm pregnant! Just realised how weird that feels writing it down!


Boobs are much fuller, but usually are before AF
Had *a lot* of creamy cm yesterday
Some small pinches and a hot sensation about the size of a five penny piece on my right side abdomen.


The main symptom is tiredness....I'm falling asleep at about 8.30pm 9pm and up again between 1am and 3am.

All of these together may scream - preggo ! - but to be honest having a lot of work to do, if I weren't ttc I wouldn't guess.


I do feel like  people look at me funny...which is so daft, i keep thinking , 'can people tell?'
Silly.

Please stick little beanie xx

Photos: HPTs @ 10 & 11 dpo....

The Bear is still in a state of shock - which is silly seeing as we've been ttc! Yesterday he was full of "wow" every five minutes, then announced he was having a nap! Knackered already haha! He's also worried I'm getting my hopes up. So has basically ordered asked me to hold off until I'm due on to test again!

I know he has a point....

But I ignored him anyway!


To be honest, I'll probably test daily until af due date, then take a digi if I keep getting lines. if the lines are going to disappear, I'd rather know sooner than on af day...


Here are my Morrisons HPTs taken with fmu sample at 10dpo (yesterday) and 11(dpo) today. Line came up within five very faintly, then clearer within ten minutes.


My phone is pants, the lines are much stronger to naked eye than they appear in the photos.


Please , please let this be true......

I am so scared this will be snatched away from me I swing between joyful, shocked and apprehensive.

Time will tell.....

top is 10dpo bottom is 11dpo. Photo taken within five minutes of test.

Top casing removed to view lines easier. Top test - 10dpo, bottom test 11 dpo

plastic screen removed for easier viewing. photo within an hour of todays test.

Photos: Time to celebrate or curse of the evap...?

Today I'm 10dpo.

I promised myself i'd hold out until AF due to test....but I couldn't wait. Quelle Suprise(!)

One test taken 9dpo and the other 10dpo (today)

Anyway, thougths and opinions welcome. Do I have reason to celebrate or dun dun durrrrrh...is it the curse of the evap striking again.....?

Whitney Houston & TTC....

Please don't be confused by the title....

Today we got the sad news Ms Houston passed away at the untimely age of 48.

She was my music heroine as a kid. Amazing voice and talent...

Anyway one of her tracks is on my all time PMA (positive mental attitude) list and reminds me of the ttc journey

Step by Step gals.... xx

CD 14 - Smiley Day!

The title says it all really.....peed on my cb digi and got a smiley first thing this morning and again this evening.

I've had loads of ewcm over the past five days and The Bear has a new lease of energy! Hooray!

Last month I got a smiley on CD12, so we'll see whether it affects when aunt flo arrives this month. I assumed it would be CD 12 again this month, so was a bit panicked when nothing happened.

Anyway, short and sweet.... time for baby making!

Cycle day 14 - morning 

Cycle day 14 - evening

No can do?

Sometimes I wonder whether The Bear is still committed to TTC.

I'm hoping we don't have a repeat of Decembers shenanigans

It's less than a week to O Day and I'm ready to pounce! 

I know he gets tired and really he'd like to say this.....
