Having much stronger PMS symptoms than usual.
Mostly cramps, and a bit of lower backache.

Had some spotting earlier this month.

Last cycle was 32 days and it's day 30 today...
Cycle before that was 34 days.

I have a cheap boots test... shall I use it?

am feeling a bit sick, think that's nerves and anticipation tho...

god I'm so shallow, I think I just want another baby because I miss talking about being pg, what to buy, babies etc. it's a tedious business, growing babies, but it is nice to be part of that club for some reason!

Well, several Blush tests later and a pretty BFP now. Fingers crossed and very cautious. Testing addictive - esp cos corner shop tesco sells cheap ones but will try to refrain. Good luck to others, this month or next.

phipps · 16/10/2010 16:12

3 is nothing, I once did 6 Blush.

I hope you all get BFP next month.

thanks, am not feeling too upset as I suspected I wasn't pg all along. Just being hopeful!

Anyway wish you all lots of luck. Cannot believe that someone has worked out that some tests are more sensitive than others!!!

titferbrains, sorry to hear you got your AF. Mine still hasnt arrived but feeling very crampy so think its on the way. did a test this morn and bfn xxx

Little by little hope you get BFP soon x

fedupttcnosuccess · 15/10/2010 17:18

Also read on one of the other threads that tesco and superdrug tests are more sensitive than most branded early ones... Worth a try, also a bit cheaper? Hope that helps!

fedupttcnosuccess · 15/10/2010 17:15

Cycle day- sorry! It's still early days, everything crossed for you. Try to relax a little, I know it's easier said than done. Hope you get your BFP soon xxx

littlebylittle · 15/10/2010 15:54

no - I am ashamed to say i did test first thing and no line. just after lunch and hadn't drunk much this am. Not sure what cd means but 14 days post treatment (iui so no hormones except my own) on tues. If the rage I feel at dd's first school reading book is anything to go with, the hormones are raging already!!!

fedupttcnosuccess · 15/10/2010 13:21

Littlebylittle: fingers crossed for you! It's so exciting isn't it? What cd are you on? Was it first morning urine?

littlebylittle · 15/10/2010 13:11

Well, there's def a line on the first response this afternoon. Not a BF positive, just a tlt (tiny little thin) one, but I kind of believe it. Now I will sit on my hands and not test again til tues (Hmm)! Been here before and if we get that far it'll be a long eight weeks or so til twelve weeks. Bad luck on AF titferbrains Sad. Hope your thin line gets darker, Bally.

AF started late last night. At least that's cleared up now! Although made the mistake of watching that awful programme "I Didn't Know I was Pregnant" for a few min, just ridiculous but also amazing(ly stupid!).

Will have to pay attention now I guess to figure out when I'm ovulating...

bally2 · 14/10/2010 21:21

I know what you mean, I swear i see a faint line on my test upstairs but dp cant see anything, he says im imagining it!

littlebylittle · 14/10/2010 19:19

bit too faint to tell!!! will take my obsession to google for a bit! Googling cheaper than testing! thanks bally

bally2 · 14/10/2010 19:06

Was the line blue or grey?? if you google evap line images, they all come up and you can compare.

Im using internet cheapies. (.)(.)s are throbbing this evening...oh i juts want an answer either way.

littlebylittle · 14/10/2010 18:44

And now I've read a thread on evap lines on Clearblue - ie lines that look like positives but aren't. Sad

littlebylittle · 14/10/2010 18:37

Now - just so you know, first response are two for one at Boots. But I don't know this because I bought them today and tested again! Blush There was def a line on clear blue but nothing on first response. I will not test tomorrow - promise!!

Hi bally, hope that there is some activity soon for you!

Cannot believe I've wasted 3 tests on one cycle.

OP posts:
bally2 · 14/10/2010 14:18

Hi girls,

Im going through the same thing, Period 12 days late. I was on antibiotics a few weeks ago but i looked it up and apparently they dont delay periods??

I have tingly boobs and im bloated but no BFP!

titferbrains · 14/10/2010 13:46

Yes I too stared at the little window for a bit too long wondering if there was a line... real desperation eh. Ah well. has spurred me on to buy my vitamins at least.

OP posts:
littlebylittle · 14/10/2010 13:43

Please can I join in? I am 5 days before AF due with iui treatment and going slightly mad. So mad that I did clearblue tould test that only should be used four days pre AF due. Have convinced myself that in the right light there's a vertical line!! This just all proves that I need to be kept away from all testing equipment!

buttonmoon78 · 14/10/2010 13:14

Or even EWCM Blush

buttonmoon78 · 14/10/2010 13:14

My dh is ALWAYS working really hard so again, a lot of everything goes over his head!!

I had no idea about ovulating really until new when we're ttc #4.

Have finally discovered what I've always thought was me being a bit wierd is actually perfectly normal... ECWM! Wink

hey thanks for posting. I've always been a "fly by the seat of my pants" kinda gal so am clueless about ovulation etc. I assume vaguely the middle of cycle and try to get as much BD in as poss as chances are generally limited anyway....

nice to be able to come on here and talk about it anyway, my DH is working really hard right now so I've not told him about this.
