Just wanted to share that after 5 years of heartache, I got my BFP this morning!! I’m so excited, I woke my hubby up at 4am waving the stick in his face 🙈😂 I still feel massively bloated and have the stitch pains and am still struggling to lie on my side but apparently after speaking to the fertility clinic that’s normal 🤷♀️ All that seems a far away problem now though.
I’m so excited 🥰 anyone who has had a BFP how the heck do you wait 3 months to tell people? I’m bursting and it’s only been an hour! 🙈

Congratulations!!! Hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy. The wait is the worst for viability scans etc for me worst than tww! I have my 12 week scan next week and it has felt like a year 😂
I actually told our immediate families (so parents and siblings) when we knew what our beta was. They’ve been supporting our journey so wanted to finally share good news. I then waited until week 7 to tell two of my best friends after my scan, and then each new week or so (as I have a scan weekly), If things were okay then I’d tell someone new within my family like my aunts and cousins. On Monday just gone I told another friend - sort of like my little reward for each scan! I’m twelve weeks next week, and if all is well then I’ll tell the rest of my close friends 💛
Congratulations! I wanted to run around telling the world but I decided on just his forum It's hard though as I've had my Mum and my Dad stay separately (divorced) over the last couple of weeks and I so wanted to blurt it out. I know they'd be thrilled, if a little shocked as everyone thinks we don't want kids. It was also a bit tricky make up things why I wasn't drinking - I said I was trying to get healthy which was a bit sketchy and eventually ended up accepting wine and then pouring it away when no-one was looking.
I'm tempted to tell my parents and maybe one sister who I'm close to after the viability scan (*if* it's ok) but it's probably safer to wait. Given how well I did not testing before my OTD though I don't have much faith in my resolve... I don't really have any symptoms and I can't help feeling that's not a good sign but I know it's early.
Hi RachelGen. Well done you! Hope all continues as it should. Make sure you drink plenty of water for a few days as your ovaries still seem to be a bit active and sore - 3L a day!! Be careful not to get constipated, as poo passing by sore ovaries can "ouch"! Keep an eye on your urine output too. Lots of pale wee please. Diane
Massive congratulations and thank you for sharing this gives me a little hope for our journey. We have been trying 5yrs too and are now starting our IVF journey. Xx
