Hi Ladies.

Com on all you early testers try & hold out for a bit longer girlies. Mrs P she's not here yet so hang in there huni.

L&N I think your right just use the cbfm it takes the stress out of it all, as your cycles are a bit longer now you could always set your monitor a day or 2 later just remember that your actually ahead by a bit.
Not long to go now Gem, rocky & jodie.
Good luck all of you testing soon xxx

Jodie - Yes I did POAS on a CBFM stick before my BFP - VERY NAUGHTY!! The little window gets 2 lines in around when I'm ovulating and as the ov sticks pick up LH and HCG I thought it was worth a go!! My 1st BFP was faint, now BFP is a really strong line. Someone explained it on here months ago - preg tests just pick up HCG but ov tests pick up both as hcg and LH as they are similar but hcg 'wears a hat' and preg tests look for the 'hat' and therefore don't pick up LH. I wouldn't rely on trying to read a CBFM stick though as depends on your background level of hormones - I just had a moment of madness!!

Hi Maria - thanks for your reply, i really know that i shouldn't have used an opk as it made me feel worse for a couple of days, but i think it is so nice to still have the "hope" that i might be pg. I really do feel as if i am, but wonder if my hormones are playing tricks on me as my body gets back to normal after mc. Will try my best to be strong and wait until fri, was going to try and wait until sunday but we will see.

God girlies, i was never this obsessed before, but then i conceived my son whilst on the pill (painkillers for a bad back gave me upset tummy so pill didn't work) and when i got pg last time I was supposed to be waiting for 1st AF after coming off the pill, we weren't trying, but not being careful either! This 2ww business really does suck doesn't it!

Hope all is going well for everyone, we really need a good burst of PMA to see us through the next week or so and prevent that early testing!!!!!

Jodie! thats bad! lol, shall we compare symptoms?

Mine are: Bloated, couple of big spots - though MUCH better now !!, belly sharp pains and generally ache as though AF, some lower back ache, and i'm convinced my right (.) is more firm - give away sign last time. they got bigger but were more plump and round and as i'm tiny up top any change is quite noticeable. All could be AF or other things but hey ho. xx

Hi Rocky

My symtoms are peeing loads, had a couple of spots which are getting better, i feel tired (but could be from wkend), achey stomach low down on and off like AF, some white CM, backache and this thing with my fingernail (psoriasis flare up) which happend both times pg, getting light headed when standing up too quick, boobs do feel fuller (although am quite large anyway) and hurt in places. I do wonder if i am making a mountain out of a molehill as i wonder if i would have noticed half of these things if i wasn't looking out for them (does that make any sense?)

forgot to add that i've been having some dizziness if stand up too quick and had a few spots of thrush in my mouth yesterday - i suffered with this badly last time, although still in my system as due to start anti biotics it hasnt been in my mouth for weeks and weeks!!! and i had a lovely sharp pain in my boob earlier!!!

Totally makes sense, i too have been feeling tired but keep puttiong that down to how early it gets dark etc. Wouldn't it be great if wea ll got our BFP's at about the same time so were all pg together!!!

How you doing Gem? you still planning on POAS tomorrow morning? xx

Yep :) trying not to get myself too excited, as will only be 10dpo tomorrow, so even if it's bfn all is not lost. but I always test early so I can stop all the x-rays and stuff.

Not many pg symptoms, but then I didn't have last time. One thing that is making me hopeful is that I still feel generally quite happy. My PMT has been much worse since coming off the pill, and hubby has predicted AF's arrival a few times this year when I've turned evil a few days before. and i don't feel angry at all - that's gotta be a good sign right?

Hi ladies - not been on for ages as been so mad at work lately!! I'm on CD45, still no sign of OV through BBT tracking and tested with a FR today and BFN :(

On top of that I'm feeling quite sore down below (TMI!) so going to doc on Friday for that. Plus have hardly even BD'd in last couple of week due to hubby being away and then me being away and then generally feeling stressed and tired.

Just so frustrated and I KNOW that doesn't help anything!!

Hope you girls are all well, I'll have to catch up properly with what's going on next time I'm on.

Hugs to you all xxx

Hi girlies, been trying to get on here for hours but have been battling the cyber security virus! What a nightmare - beware of this one ladies, i think that the norton antivirus (whish was swiflty purchased and downloaded!) and a bit of me fiddling has gotton rid of it, but keep your eyes out!!

Feel so tired tonight, going to get snuggled up in bed now and keep ploughing through 24!!!! over half way through boxset now, so hoping that this is going to keep my mind off testing, although it's not helping!!!

Hope you ladies have a nice night!!!

Jodie xx

Hey girls, thought I'd pop on quickly as will be out at work til 8 at earliest.

BFN this morning

but last 24hrs have been having brown tinged CM, and a teeny weeny bit of pink last night. Am just keeping everything crossed praying it's implantation (which I did get last time) and not AF coming. Will test again saturday I think if the witch hasn't found me. Will be 13dpo by then, so more chance fo getting a bfp if I don't have AF.

catch up with you all tonight
Gxx

Gemgems I'm sorry it was a BFN - it is very early though so I think you should ignore it and hope for the best on Saturday.

Had quite an eventful day yesterday. My twin sister's house has wrought iron gates at the end of the drive and I closed them after I pulled in yesterday afternoon because Neve was asleep, when we all went to go out again I forgot and reversed into the gates! One of them is bent (although miraculously car is fine) but the other ok so we opened them and I pulled out, sister followed (forwards) and hit the left hand gate because she was looking at the bent one and not where she was going. We were stood by the cars crying with laughter and then I saw that her neighbour had watched the whole episode and was also laughing his head off! Thankfully both children remain oblivious of their mother's incompetence.

Hope you other tester's to be are all well, can't wait to hear the first BFP announcement!

Hi Fergy, nice to see you back, hope the doctor is helpful.

oh fergy, sending you BIG af vibes! try and stop stressing though or it might take longer!!!

sorry to hear BFN Gems but your right saying it still V early. i'm 11dpo today and desperate to test but i know i have to wait!!! I think i'm setting myself up for a fall unfortunately :-(

L+N as long as you drive buggies/pushchairs with more care than thats all that matters!

I'm like a devil obsessed with ss atm and it's not a good thing! I was checking my (.)(.) in work yesterday!!! obviously in the loo where no one could see! lol. i've never really fely them before AF so not sure if what i'm feeling is pre AF or not... how you getting on Jodie? xx

Hello Ladies

Well I tested this morning and I got a BFP. I just bawled my eyes out as I really was expecting to see a BFN as I really felt like AF was on her way- still kinda do now.

I haven't really had any symptoms so I am slightly worried. Though thinking about it I do feel a bit nauseous (sp?).

I am going to try and think positive now as I know that it's not really in my hands anymore so I am going to try and enjoy it. edd i think its the 13/14th July.

Gemgems don't worry about your bfn- I tested early on sunday and monday and got bfns.

Jodie- We are on episode 6 now of 24 season 7 and I love it. So glad tony is back!!

Lottie- your story made me laugh so hard- sounds like something me and my sister would do!

Rocky- not long before testing day for you! And i would seriously avoid testing early as it does cause unnecessary heartache.

good luck everyone- really hope we can all be in due in july together (and all stay there).

xx

Wow firstly Mrs Pies that is fab news im sooo happy for you hun, (14 July was my 1st due date) congratulations, stay positive hun cause I just know that you'll be fine & bean is getting nice & snug.
L&N your story made me laugh too LOL, hope your well.
Gem hang in there hun it is a bit early so fingers crossed Sat will bring you good news.
Rocky & Jodie hope your both doing well, love the prodding of the boobs thats so funny remember those days!! when are you testing again? Jodie what a bummer about the virus I had it last week & took ages to get rid of!!
Fergy nice to see you hun, how frustrating waiting for ov still, why not mention this to your GP when you go Fri.
Still no AF for me & feeling quite fed up lately I just feel so miserable for some reason could it be PMT who knows!! Am going through another denial stage as wouldve been 20 wks on Sat & just keep thinking about if I was still pg!! Sorry to bring such a low tone to the thread I just feel so fed up at the moment!! xxxx

Thanks laujai- you have done a good job of policing this thread and all us naughty early testers!
And I know exactly how you feel laujai, I'm so aware of dates now and how far along I would be.
Really hope that what you are feeling is just a bad case of PMT and that AF shows up soon for you,
xxx

WOW MRs Pies!!! YAY!!!!

Laujai i'm 14dpo on Saturday so figured test sunday am if no AF... i'm getting really worried cus i've convinced myself that i think i am :-( but somehow i thik it's wishful thinking. I can't remembwr what i felt like on the lead up to AF before the BFP i lost. Aw hun, keep ur chin up, i dreaded the lead up to when i would've been 20 weeks but it was actually ok, ur guna have to keep mega tabs on me so with that i'm sure we can think of other things to keep u occupied. How's lil roxy? I bet she's always going to be like a lil puppy cus i doubt she'll grow much! bless her. xx

Mrs Pies, how many dpo are you? just for reference as i'm due to test this weekend! xx

well I never did any ov tests this month so not really sure but first day of last AF was 7/10 so think I am 14dpo as my cycle are normally 28 days. But I could be earlier as this is the first proper cycle since my early mc last month.
I tested using a superdrug cheapie and the line was faint but appeared within the 3minute window. then it got a lot darker (but its still not as dark as the control line).
I'm going to go out and buy myself a load of CBD in a bit!

make sure you hold out till sat at least as I tested early and seeing bfn's is soul destroying.

really wishing you lots of sticky baby dust!! I am refusing to go to the July forum without backup!

xx

Thanks girls, Rocky I really hope this is it for you esp as you have a good feeling about it, your symptoms sound good hun, remember every pg is different hun, i've felt completley different with all of my pg!!.

I hope it is PMT that im feeling, I think as well all these milestones are hard this time last year we had conceived but I didnt get my bfp till Dec despite missing AF & having loads of pg symptoms!! So it's been exactly a year & all these mc & up coming test results it's all just getting to me a bit plus I cant join in all the SS & testing!! I guess im just feeling sorry for myself!
Roxy is being a little minx she's good & last nightI was teaching her how to fetch her ball & bring it back, however she's teething so finds our fingers & toes much better to chew than her toys!! xxx
