Fingers crossed for all those due AF soon.
FRER - first response early response. Sorry, I usually call them FR but have seen them written like that recently.
Squirt2 - I prefer Superdrug ones & found them sensitive with DD.
Deeders - when are you due? When will you test again?
I had creamy cm yesterday - I'm not sure whether that was a sign of ov or not. I didn't want to ov test this month as thought it would add stress but now I wish I knew! No BD as dd was coughing lots & crying from 10pm. I had crampy feeling on 1 side on sunday & yesterday my tummy near the bottom was achey & bit of lower back ache.x

Hello all, keep those symptoms coming girls!! Just a quick update from me - I got my BFP yesterday, 9 days after AF was due!!! I tested everyday from CD24/28 and got bfn everyday until CD 37/28 when it came up immeduately - so im guessing that i just OVd late!! At least i feel a little less crazy now as I was SURE i was pregnant but the tests just kept saying no lol! Fingers crossed for all those in the 2ww and those due to test shortly - its not over until AF shows up for sure!!This really is turining into a lucky thread! x

Hello all, hope this works this time - i just lost what i wrote! This is my first post anywhere and I'm so glad to have found this forum. I cannot believe how obsessed I have become on this the first month we've ttc. I'm 9dpo and have had some pretty convincing symptoms since 2dpo including nausea, dizziness, constant metallic taste in my mouth which has been producing far too much saliva, creamy cm since 2dpo, irritability since 1 dpo, sniffles (but maybe down to hay fever I guess).... I was so obsessed with symptom spotting that I tested yesterday using FRER. I was convinced there was a very feint line. DH disagrees! Oh god I just re-read this post and I sound neurotic! I'm not-honest!
I will test again on Friday but with my luck I guess the wicked witch will turn up by then. Does anyone have opinions on the most effective test to use? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Oh and good luck to all on an over-obsessed ttc journey!????

Hi chacha!
Welcome to the mad world of TTC! I don't know how people manage to not get obsessed!! What time of day did you test? How long beforehand did you wee or drink? Your HCG levels increase every 36 hours so testing before Friday might give you a darker line! Men always say that there's not a line! My hubby wasn't convinced for about 3 days after my first feint line with my daughter!xx

Hi ali81+1 thanks for the welcome and words of wisdom! I tested in the morning to try to get highest concentration of wee. Had cramping this afternoon to add to the list of symptoms but they feel quite af-ish to be honest. How r you getting along?

Hi Chacha81 and everyone else.

Well, I've got twinges rather than cramps, got the blue veins on my boobs (noticed last week), still feeling sick and dizzy every morning. I'm trying not to obsess, but failing miserably. I'm due tomorrow and I've been quite emotional the last few days, but I'm putting that down to tiredness and work stress.

FC and baby dust to all!

Welcome supersquish, sorry to hear your bad news but hope you have lots of luck this time.x

Deeders - didn't you say before that you don't usually get lots of symptoms? Test again! I'm so excited & have no patience!!

Chacha - I find my urine is more concentrated if I go for a wee & then don't wee or drink (maybe have a couple of sips) for 3-4 hours.

Hi squirt2, hope af stays away! I hear people say often that you're not out until she arrives!

Supersquish - best of luck after m/c. Must admit in this new world of ttc I'm surprised how common m/c is. There are some super strong resilient women walking around just coping with this amazingly. All the best for this ttc journey and hope you are luckier this time.

Today's symptom spotting!: I'm in a weird limbo place today. I have been too busy to test today but think it's probably best that I hold off as long as I can. Still some cramping, but pinkish spotting seen last night has stopped. Temp still high. Felt v nauseous this morning but only slightly now. Appetite gone compared to last week where I was eating everything that moved. Metallic taste in mouth still there. Got to the point where I'm thinking if I'm not preg I'll have to visit the docs anyway because I've felt v weird for the last week or so. Finding out its preg related would be a relief! Patience....

6 days late now,!! cramping comes and goes but not as much as when af was due!! only symptoms was metalic taste in mouth when i woke up and the smell of sausages woke me up, even though i was the only one at home, no cooking going on, weird.

Chacha81

23/05/2012 at 20:00

Oh missymoox I do feel for you! Your frustration must be far worse than mine at this point as you're past af date and the hpts keep disagreeing with you! I've heard it takes some women a long time for hcg levels to get high enough. Given you're past af now would a blood test at your docs be an idea? Loving the sizzling sausages story!

Evening all ladies!

The witch still hasn't found me, but another bfn this morning. I'm wondering if I'm not getting a concentrated enough sample in the morning as I tend to wake up in the middle of the night needing to go pee! That however, is normal for me. Boo.

Still getting the twinges and cramps and now my stomach is playing up a bit. Maybe I should lay off the pasta with pesto at lunch time and find something else to eat?!

Oh yeah, apparently cake does not count as a sensible suggestion for tea. The OH never managed to get away on holiday so is now eating all my lovely treats that I got for myself to cheer myself up whilst he was meant to be gone. Which I wouldn't mind, but he leaves me the wrappers... that's just mean!!! I can eat as many carrots as I please. It's not the same though.

Back ache today too, and a bit irritable at work... but that might just be because my boss is back and he needs a slap for being a not very nice human (debatable today) being. I've gone off tea with milk as well.

I must admit that it is rather lovely to have OH here looking after me when I get a bit down about the lack of a good result or appearance by you know who, and it looks like he'll be here for my next ovulation day if needed!

None of us ladies are out of the running until af arrives!

FC and baby dust to all!

How come hubby didn't go away deeders? I'm the same, I drink loads before bed & pee in the night so it's not concentrated at all. See my suggestion above about no pee or drink for 3-4 hours after you pee. Fingers crossed, sounding positive especially after faint line.
Missymoo - which tests are you using & what time of day are you testing?
My lines were faint but getting darker on superdrug ones but still barely visible on FR ones - I'm not a huge fan of them (with DD). My friend got BFP at 10 dpo but didn't get one on cheapie until 16dpo.
chacha - spotting can be a sign of implantation & therefor it's normal for it to ease.

How is everyone else? I'm confused. Felt sick this am, LOADS of CM (sorry tmi) this evening, dizzy when I got up from toilet earlier & achey tummy. I'm convinced it's all in my head!x

Evening Ali! We live on an island and have to fly over to the mainland airports to go long haul. The local airline cancelled his first flight which meant that he missed the start of all of the others. When he phoned up the big airline, they didn't want to know. They wouldn't bump his flights or even let him make his own way to the middle flight as there is some crap in their small print about connecting flights. (moral of story, fly BA!)So, we're now trying to get his money back from the first airline or insurance. I don't care who pays as long as somebody does, that's six flights that he missed out on and they're not cheap!!!

I'm feeling a bit miserable and achy at the moment. Not wanting anything sweet which I tend to be a monster a few hours before af is due. I'm really tired which is surprising as I'm normally a bit of an insomniac. Had some stringy cm earlier (sorry, tmi!) which really threw me! We won't mention the wind, but let's just say that the cats are downstairs as hot air rises!!

On the plus side, my microwave has been dispatched! Yay for online shopping and not having to carry things home!

OH has told me not to get my hopes up as I get too quiet whenever I get another bfn and he worries about me. Bless. He would rather that I don't check for a few days and enjoy the weekend instead and then get my butt to the docs.
