Brooking No Argument for Positive Pee Sticks, Healthy Pregnancies and Home-made Cakes!!!

Aw Shiny BFNs suck, but you could still be in the game this cycle as you're still testing quite early. I like your list of learnings!

Well - I capitulated this morning and tested with an Early Response test thingy. AF due between Saturday - Monday. BFN.

Sorry to everyone else who had got BFN too.

Smegs - still excited for you though [hgrin]

Things I have learned from this first ttc cycle:

1. DO NOT google early pregnancy symptoms - madness lies that way
2. DO NOT google "when to test" - drive self to secondary madness reading about people who got a BFP 2DPO
3. DO NOT google "percentage of people who get pregnant first cycle" - will drive self to depression at (unscientific) statistics of 99.9% and forum messages (not on mumsnet) of "Everyone but you. Loser!"
4. Try not to imagine date imaginary baby will be born
5. Ditto telling friends and family
6. DO NOT drift on to pram page on John Lewis website when ostensibly purchasing missing bits of wedding china with gift vouchers
7. DO NOT come off diet and eat madly on the basis that you will be pregnant this month and therefore buying new clothes. So it doesn't matter that you can't fit in to your old ones. You will just end up FAT and still not up the duff.

That is all

Wow Popcorn! I mustn't get my hopes up though. We'll smack that rat next cycle.

Countdowntopregnancy.com reckons 15% of pregnant women will still get a BFN 14dpo :o

Yes indeed scrambled the mind boggles!

generic I dunno, I have heard of people not getting BFPs until 16 or 17dpo.
Definitely test again of no AF on Friday I reckon but YAY for longer LP regardless

Goodness far, what did he think was in an ovary then ? Jelly babies?!

Oh Cake sorry about the BFN for you too. Enjoy your chocolate and let's be cycle buddies again next time and we WILL get our BFPs!

Stasi I love your positivity - you are definitely in the right place with the Rat Smackers. I would prefer to assume AF is coming but if she hasn't turned up by Saturday, I may give the peesticks another go.

Thank you Popcorn too! I love this thread! It keeps me going it does!

Scrambled I will be waiting on Saturday to hear your news!

Farfalla I'm 14 dpo now, so I would have thought that was enough (am I wrong? )

Sorry cake I missed that, next month will be all our months!!

generic 13 dpo is still a little early in my view but regardless, excellent news on the LP, have you been B Viting this cycle?

imps I am veyr sorry to hear about your redundancy, are you lawyer? Keeping all crossed for you and I love your DH's 'egg thing'

I showed DH pictures from the scan this morning of my ovaries, he thought it was hilarious you could actually see 'eggs' and could not stop laughing about it

late have been thinking about you lots and YAY for reassurance scan, the odds for everything turning out ok once you have seen a heart beat are fantastic I think.

Great news on temps scrambled, any news from cake?

Oh no Cake . Chocolate is medicinal in these circumstances, nothing wrong with it.

Haha pee sucks! Great typo Stasi!

Right. Can't test till Friday, possibly Saturday. Have a lot on and don't think I'll be able to buy pee sticks before then. Hope y'all can handle the wait .

Ha ha ha imps! Glad it's all falling in to place
John Ramekin Smith. I like it, very continental! :o

Late that's amazing news, congratulations! It's impressive how they can date it within a few days when it's so weensy :)

Oh cake, Generic noooo :(
But maybe is right, Generic ? your LP is looking super good. If ? if! - AF does turn up, then next month WILL be the month

Oh sorry to hear that cake

Nowt wrong with chocolate at 9am, no siree!

Thanks little I'm consoling myself with chocolate.. At 9am, oh dear!

Sorry to hear that cake. Have a and I'll get you a later!

Hi all sorry for the late update, BFN from me today I'm 15dpo but I imagine my ov day could be out by 12 hrs or so and I may get AF at lunch time..

generic sorry to hear about your bfn too I was sure this was your month! good news about your lp though

scrambled great news! When are you testing?

That's really exciting scrambled, can't wait for you to stock up on pee sticks.

Glad to hear your sounding positive generic despite pesky bfn. It is really good that your lp is getting longer, means you're in with a better shot next month.

Cake.... Where are you....?

Scrambled great news!

Don't think it was too early for me to test, I'm sure AF is coming now.

Next month is your month Generic, no doubt about it.

Scrambed.....

Grrr Generic bloody pee stick. But still no AF??

Scrambled.....tentative YAY!!

oooh scrambled congrats

When are you going to buy test?

Ooooh Scrambled.......

Now, how many dpo / late are you?

And when are you going to test?

Sorry about the BFN Generic. Maybe it's just too early ?

Um... No AF. Temps back up to 37.00. Very, very cautiously optimistic .

Sorry to hear the news generic
