missy and ninja sorry to hear af came Sad. Hopefully next month will have a better result Smile

doitorelsa torture is the perfect word to describe it! I am not going to test until im sure it will be positive. i def find bfns more disappointing than af arriving. I was absolutely convinced last month that i was pregnant and was baffled at the bfns i was getting so i am not putting myself through that again.

ninja i can see how you would want a glass of wine just thinking about all them visitors. A glass of wine and a headache tablet methinks!

hello everyone. missyk5 sorry to hear that. doitorelsa good luck with waiting, hope its good news.

well i'm out for the month. af arrived just as i was going to bed last night. so i'm off to buy an opk which someone recommended on here the other day. I think i'll up my royal jelly supplements too. it says you can take between 1 and 3 a day and i've only been having 1. i thought i would feel much worse about it but i seem to be in a fairly good mood for some reason!

does anyone know how to get your body to produce more ewcm? as i get older i seem to have much less and it only last a few days on and off. are there any foods that help it increase? we've been using conceive plus as well so hopefully that helps?

mind you at least i can pack away a few glasses of wine when dp's entire family plus a couple of his aunts and uncles arrive this weekend. i think i might need it. actually thinking about it makes me feel like i need one now and its only 9am!

how's everyone else today?

I am finding it hard waiting. Have used 3 tests already in a really stupid, pointless, early way! On day 25 of a 24-26 day cycle so almost there. I am just going to wait now, have no more tests so just relying on absence of AF. My breasts are bigger I think, and areolas (SP?) are darker but could be my imagination. They also feel tingly sometimes, bit like the let down reflex. Again, probably making it up. Good luck everyone, it is torture isn't it. My sleep is out th ewindow as I keep waking to see if AF is here!

Missyk5 · 11/10/2010 12:57

Boo hoo...., unfortunately AF appeared last Thursday....., disappointed to say the least as I was really convincing myself that I was preggers...! And now I have to wait another 5 weeks until my partner is back from military exercise, before trying again..., still it'll be fun eh?! :)

alien06 · 10/10/2010 17:39

AuntFloAss yup my af is due within the next few days as previous ones were between 30-33 but no signs as yet really,but may be a month where it comes from nowhere lol

Pains have stopped now but lower abdomen still swollen, got docs tomoz so going to see if they can tell me why it has been like that as really worried about it. BFN this afternoon- was bored lol

thanks eve, I know I have to keep at it, at least i have a lot on this week so Tuesday should come round quick!
i think cos I'm sitting at home and everyone is out I have more time to dwell on the issue.
i should probably go raid the biscuit tin.

PeevedEve · 10/10/2010 17:03

hey ninja, I'm due next week too and pretty sure I'm not pg also. Standard AF symptoms and no pg ones.

If it helps, I got pg with my first at 38 on the 7th month of ttc, so hang on in there.

NinjaChipmunk · 10/10/2010 16:57

well after being convinced i am pg I'm now convinced I'm not cos i think I'm getting pmt. well, I'm getting v short tempered with people and i guess that happening 2 days before I'm due on could be a clue?

have to wait till Tues to find out i guess. Ho hum. it becomes incredibly disparaging after a while doesn't it. this is our 6th month of ttc and i fell pg with ds within 6 weeks of trying last time. mind you i guess that was nearly 4 years ago and now i'm 36 my chances per month get less.
still my plan is opk's next month then the docs the month after that, to get things checked. yet another good friend has had a baby in the last couple of days and next weekend i get to spend it with dp's family and his sis is pg with her first and his mum is super-clucky over her. i may have to have rather a lot of wine to get through it without killing anyone!

how is everyone else? isn't next week most af dates for people on this thread?

AuntFlosAssassin · 08/10/2010 23:29

Terry i used tescos opks this month and have been testing sometime between 5-7pm.

No symptoms at all for me,have been running to the loo an awful lot but thats cause my bladder is the size of a pea lol

Hows everyone?

ninja & alien are you still getting pains?

alien06 · 08/10/2010 21:38

Ninj1 ERTD_ Evil Red Tide of Doom lol

yeah the sharp pains have stopped now but my lower abdomen is still hard when pressed and swollen. Am worried about what it could be, so am glad that i am off to docs Monday.

Missyk5 any news? Anyone else having symptoms?

OP posts:
TerrysNo2 · 06/10/2010 23:26

I bought some cheap OPK's from babymad and you have to leave your sample to get to room temp for 30 mins before dipping the stick (all sounds lovely huh Hmm). So how do I do twice a day when I'm at work? Do they do the instant result ones and if so which should I buy??

6 days to go here! not so much on the symptoms today but alien I have also been having random sharp pains every now and then. and a lot of pressure type feeling. however my tummy is always flabby. although it seems v bloated this week.
whats ERTD? good luck at the docs on monday.

alien06 · 06/10/2010 18:54

hey everyone , 8 days until predicted AF ( according to my iphone app!) had sharp pains in my lower abdomen for a good few days, not sure what these were?! also had lots of cm ( sorry if TMI!) now my boobs are starting to hurt, but that is due to imminent arrival of ERTD I guess :(

off to docs for another reason Monday , but going to ask about what the sharp pains could be as worried me, also tummy now all flabby, luckily that is very unusual for me :(

sufferingbabyfever · 06/10/2010 17:56

Its better to ignore the instructions on OPKs and test twice a day. As you can miss it. Like my one this month I tested as 5pm and it was positive (the only one i had) and because I fret over things I decided to check again later that night an hour or two max and it was negative. You can easily miss the window. In some women the surge only lasts ten hours so by testing once you can miss it.

TerrysNo2 · 06/10/2010 17:14

Now you have the button moon song in my head, was my favourite cartoon.... "..and we're off to button moon with mr spoon...da da da da da da" Hmm, maybe not so favourite as I don't remember all the words but it was in my toddler days. Now I do know all the words to the Funhouse theme tune!!

buttonmoon78 · 06/10/2010 16:49

Excellent - I thought there wouldn't be many of us that late...

TerrysNo2 · 06/10/2010 16:12

buttonmoon I think we are the last ones on here (by AF due date). Hopefully we can keep each other company!

buttonmoon78 · 06/10/2010 16:00

AF due on 17th - is there room for me?

Am already chewing my nails down to my knuckles in anticipation...

TerrysNo2 · 06/10/2010 14:54

Ninja as you can see, not me!!

Anyone else NOT had luck with OPK's? I am only testing once a day so wondering if I have a short window and am missing it??

I still have EWCM (sorry TMI!) but on CD18 not likely to be OV right? Although this is only my second cycle since DS was born, last one was 27 days.

hello! always nice to have some new people on here!
I've so far managed to avoid using opk's, however if i don't fall pg this month then i shall make them my next port of call. who out there can give me the lowdown on them then?

OP posts:
TerrysNo2 · 06/10/2010 14:44

Hello, can I join? This is my first ever 2ww and due AF on the 18th.

Not even sure if I have OV-ed this month, had EWCM but OPKs all negative. FF keeps changing its mind because of my temp so who knows. All v frustrating!

So !! Smile
