NEW BUS BOARDING FOR JUNE 2012

Thanks to all - FX for me, FX for you, FX for everyone!

Am testing tomorrow am. Anyone else?

Congrats Lydia!
Screamingly jealous. FX that everything turns out ok. I've had cramps the last couple of days, but usually only get them during AF, so bit confused. Temp is slowly dropping though, so unless it's just been the cold weather affecting it, I'm worried I might be out.
Don't even have any sore boobage to keep my hopes afloat, wah.
Hope it goes up tomorrow- is sleeping snuggled right up to DH to absorb his body heat and therefore increase temp cheating!??!

Congratulations Lydia! Strong lines at 11/12DPO is great.

I'm definitely on the July bus, AF arrived with full force at lunchtime.

Congratulations Lydia! That's brilliant news!

Well done Lydia -- a strong line is a positive!!
I'd say that's reason to celebrate -- to hell with Dr Google.
:)

Tested this morning with first response..............

BFP - one very slightly fainter than the other but still strong.

A bit shocked, happy but cautious: Chief Medical Supervisor Dr Google says that risk of early miscarriage in first conception is very high, in the region of 50-70%. This seems extraordinary to me.

I did also test either the day before my missed period or (max) 4 days before, which is early. I think I'm12DPO but it might be 11DPO

Trying not to get too excited and I guess I just have to take it as it comes and see what happens

Sorry to hear that Ilanthe.
Lydia PMT and preg symptoms can be similar -- do let us know how you get on.
Rasulka I don't think the temp drop is your punishment. Remember having go at DH/DP is definitely positive symptom!
TheCake I've decided to be good and hold out til period's due.

I've got 8 friends coming over for a painting party tomorrow. Will have to try not to breathe in all day. It is eco-paint (but B&Q style) so praps a few nasties in there still?? Just thought 'she's having the painters and decoraters in -- old term for AF' ARGHH!! Is it just me, or do other people get ridiculously superstitious about this whole thing?
So anyway (deep breath -- sanity returns) I'm testing Sunday. FX for me.
Good luck for July transfers and for those of us left on June bus.
:) :)

Sorry to hear it Ilanthe - I think I'll see you there. Definitely getting what feels exactly like pre AF cramping, very annoyed.
At least then I won't have wasted a test; I bet it comes tomorrow.
GRRRRRRR

Crap knows what was going on with my boobs this month then. I only ever get sore boobs the day before AF. They've been achey and swollen for about a week now. My body is obviously playing silly buggers. Thank you, weird psychosomatic body.

I think I'm out. Bleeding pretty constant now, light flow but bright red. No cramps or anything yet so not the first day of my cycle proper (GP told me to count from my first heavy day if I was spotting a lot around my period) but I'm sure its on its way.

Will jump on the July bus as soon as I know what my CD1 is! Hope to not see any of you ladies there . Good luck to everyone else testing and hope you all get your BFPs.

Really thinking about testing today - I bought a couple of First Response early tests (foolishly) the other day, as I saw them on offer and I couldn't help myself.

I'm 11 DPO (possibly 10) and either have a 25 day (AF due tomorrow, hopefully not) 27 day (AF due Sunday) or 28 day (monday) cycle. But I can't decide what my reactions to a negative would be:

A) Annoyed, upset and in denial (leading to more testing over the next few days, just to increase the misery)

OR

B) relieved that I could now take a more pragmatic attitude and treat it as a warning for caution (I might stop myself day dreaming). OK - I wouldn't hit the wine but a negative now might ease the impact of the arrival of AF on whatever day it might happen to come.

Hmmm. A dilemma. I'd like to think I was a B) person but I'm probably not.

Sorry - this post is just me talking to myself isn't it? Not very helpful to anyone.

I hope you're all doing well out there. Good luck on temperature Rusulka

The exam might distract you sassymay - if you don't want to test early that is....? Mind you - I always did everything I could to distract myself from exams - my flat was spotless for weeks during revision periods.

sassymay I think you are right, I will wait until after my exam as I could cope with another BFN or period arriving (after an inital feeling sorry for myself cry), buy a BFP would mean I'd think of nothing else!

Bit grumpy as my temp dropped by 0.2 this morning. Have decided it's punishment for having a go at long-suffering DH last night when he hadn't done anything wrong... Hoping it's just due to a very disturbed sleep.

sassymay lol at your DD! Can't imagine trying to do this with a little one nosying in on all the business.

thecake I'm definitely for holding out and testing late if you can stand it.
I tend to ovulate early, so I am nearly 14 days DPO though only day 24 of cycle. I'm determined to hold out to weekend if AF doesn't get me. Maybe after the exam better than before less distraction??
rusulka that chart looks good to my uneducated eyes -- hope those temps stay up.
Ilanthe I may test on 9th too or 8th if wait is too unbearable.
I feel under extra pressure as 3 year old DD (who's overheard all those whispered conversations) said when can you test to see if there's a baby in your tummy? The other day she also passed me jar of baby food in co-op 'for the baby' Yikes.
Everything crossed for us all :)

sassymay I got a positive opk stick on day 20 and the 7th would be day 28 (my cycles have varied between 28 days or 33). I'm hoping this month will be a longer one! Not sure whether to just wait, test early or what? I've got an exam on the 13th so was thinking of testing then- I'd be quite late by then, but I doubt I'll have that much will power...

I'm testing on the 9th unless this spotting actually manages to turn into a period before then.

Still got metallic taste though, sore boobs, etc. I would have sore boobs by now anyway if I was on a normal cycle though. So I have no idea.

With DS I tested positive 9DPO - I'm now 11DPO and if I had any pregnancy tests in the house I'd be POAS right now because I'm sick of not knowing. I won't have a chance to buy any till Friday now. There is not a chance in hell I would buy any at lunchtime at work as knowing my luck they would fall out of my bag and across the office floor....

I'm expecting AF on 9th, will hopefully be testing sometime soon.

I still have relatively high temps, and I had cramps yesterday. Really got my fingers crossed for this cycle.

Don't know if my chart is triphasic, but I'm hopeful! If anyone can shed any light, here's my chart...

It looks a bit more promising than last month!

I am expecting AF on 9th but as I am taking my temp daily I usually get a temp drop the day before or the day of AF so I won't be testing unless my temp stays high & I am late!
Not feeling too hopeful this month though :(
Good luck to everyone else testing

Sorry to those who fell off bus.

I'm having a sore boob day which is making me happy. When I feel rough I feel glad and am hoping all is not in vain.

The Cake and Discolite you are near your testing date I think?

I'm planning to hold out til Sat (one day before AF due). Anyone else who's due around 9/10/11 got a test planned -- there's lots of us. I think I will go with First Response.

FX for lots of BFPs :)

sorry - just read the message abve it - thought you were saying 'one more BFP' :(

Px

TheCake

ome more BFPs!

Is that your BFP????

P x

Discolite - no I've not tested. I kind of want my period to tell me I'm out rather than a BFN so I'm holding out till I'm due.

Having said that I've had pink spotting all day and just went to the loo and had two red clotty things on the toilet roll which were about the size of a pen circumference (if that makes sense). I think my period is definitely on it's way. I've still got massively sore boobs and a weird taste in my mouth today.

ome more BFPs!
