CD 1 today and my last cycle was 34 days which means I'm due to test 6th April.

Anyone fancy joining me?

I'm so jealous, I have to wait the longest! Lol Af not due til the 13th! Stupid long cycles! I wish I knew when I ovulated so I could officially start my tww but have no idea if I'm in it now or not lol oh dear...

iloveminieggs · 28/03/2012 09:49

25% sounds high somedays but it also sounds tiny!!
Fingers crossed ladies. I feel like I have ages to wait AF not due til 8th Sad
I'm sure all this worry and stress isn't good for us!

zonat92 · 28/03/2012 09:00

Thanks Ladies:) I really have been soo obsessive this month! Only because ino even if i OV'd abit earlier or later i was still swi, i pretty much have every 2-4 days through this cycle! but i really need to stop getting my hopes up & symptom spotting. TTC is exhausting ha ha mentally i mean!!

But statistically i still only have a 25% chance even if everything was done right.

I can't wait too let u all no for sure, and hear all your outcomes :o not long now.

iloveminieggs · 28/03/2012 08:53

Thats what I said last month and I caved. I then bought a pack of 2 DH found them and hid them! So I bought some more! It's so hard!! But I'm trying really hard not to test this month. I'd rather not see another bfn

morecoffeepleaseholdthecake · 27/03/2012 23:04

I love the feeling that this might be it, and think about seeing that line. I then hate the HORRIBLE feeling after when its a negative :( I have now stpped keeping them in the house as it was getting me too down. I will not buy a test until the day before I need to test now.......

MildredH · 27/03/2012 22:30

Ooh zonat you're possible BFP is making me excited!

morecoffee how can you love it? I dread the horrible butterfly tummy usually culminating in disappointment Sad

I'm going through my sticks fast.. Persuaded DH we should do a first response tonight ( AF due sat/sun) bfn of course. I know, prob still bit early..

winkle2 · 27/03/2012 22:29

I did 3 tests last month which is why I'm resisting this month!!

Yes cookies, you're right! I too have done that Grin You are soooooo not alone zonat!

I love that feeling of anticipation and excitment while you wait for the result and convince yourself that this will be the test that is positive even though you sort of know that it wont be

Cookiesandcream06 · 27/03/2012 22:06

Oh and last month I did the exact same thing with POAS, you keep looking at it ages after the time, in a bid to make it turn positive, even when the words 'not pregnant' are clearly displayed. Like you're hoping it's going to change its mind in the time you've washed up and had a shower... You. Are. Not. Alone. Smile

Cookiesandcream06 · 27/03/2012 22:04

Don't be silly zonat , it's what we are here for! If the same had happened to me I'd be the same! Personally I think it's very normal TTC behaviour!! Smile

I got a bit obsessive last month and bought two packs of 2 FR as they were on offer and a few superdrug ones.. To be fair, if I thought i was or even had a bit of hope I prob would.. I OVed later than originally thought, I think I calculated wrong. Did still DTD but don't think it was timed brilliantly. I just don't want the disappointment in all honesty.

zonat92 · 27/03/2012 21:42

Thanks Winkle :). mmmm Foood haha x

winkle2 · 27/03/2012 21:40

Don't worry zonat we don't mind!!

Honestly wait till Friday and I'm sure you'll get your BFP.

I know about having tests in the house, just don't but them cause it's too tempting!!

Symptom spotting here but all I fancy today is salty foods!!

zonat92 · 27/03/2012 21:37

& cookie, i admire u! i reallly do. I cannot have tests in the house and not use them. Its almost like i cant pee these days unless it on a stick Blush!!

I looked at the latest test again b4 just to see how it look now dry, and it looks completely negative!

I think its all in my head, after my emotional break down at the beach after someone taking my table, and tonight after asking Dh to run the chippy for me and he replied no, i broke down in tears again!
These have got too be AF hormones.
Well no for sure this weekend, will update then. feel like ive completly taken over this thread with my constant updates haha!
Think ive gone mad :o

zonat92 · 27/03/2012 21:10

Yeahh i have a digi ordered from amazon, arriving fri/sat! im all out till then, So will no for sure then :)

Cookiesandcream06 · 27/03/2012 20:37

Do you know what zonat I think this could be !! I don't want to get your hopes up but if you've seen all these lines, faint or not, I find it hard to think otherwise. But yeh I'd wait till nearer AF due date then do a digi maybe?

So far I'm actually holding it together and with 8 days till AF I'm yet to cave, but still very early days, it could go horribly wrong ever so soon! And I know for a fact I've made the mistake and have about 5 tests as well as cheapies up stairs.. Under the bed.. Calling out to me..

Thanks for the info on the cyst guys, I do feel a lot better about it now.

zonat92 · 27/03/2012 20:22

Rightup - i do hope so, other wise i am just going crazy!
I rang GP earlier, then hung up before they answered was going too arrange blood tests! but im too scared, after a mc in january, im starting too panick incase i actualy am! and these tugging pains arnt helping starting too think something might be their but going wrong! god give me strength hahah!

Hai1988 · 27/03/2012 20:13

Fx for you zonat :)

Curious i do that to when testing i will poas then do a bit of house work

winkle2 · 27/03/2012 20:02

Sounds extremely positive zonat!! Try and hold on testing till Friday as hard as that might be!!

RightUpMyRue · 27/03/2012 19:39

zonat!!! YOU'RE PREGNANT Grin

Nobody but nobody gets evap after evap.

zonat92 · 27/03/2012 18:27

also could be any type of implantation? could it, Af 7 days away, its usualy sooner isnt it! ahh im such a stress head. sorry girls xx

zonat92 · 27/03/2012 18:26

also today ive randomly had aches/twinges in my right side :// panicking wondering if my cyst has came back, but had scan on 10th this month surely couldnt have came back and grown big enough to feel pressure?
Wouldn't expect ectopic, as i could only be 3weeks ( if preg at all) can't be ovulation that was last week! any ideas? x x

zonat92 · 27/03/2012 18:22

Im just not convinced! theres a line showing instantly. I used my last test just before after holding my pee for 3/4 hours! same thing has happened, line there, but hardly any colour to it, these tests r 20-25miu also and AF not due for 7days so suppose it could be a very faint positive! :)
anyone else had anything like this before?
i keep telling myself the tests r faulty :/. i just don't want to convince myself!
if not but latest test looked on the BFP side hahaha!!!

MildredH · 27/03/2012 17:52

backward yes WAY too early! AF due Sat or more likely Sun but just no power to resist the tests in the bathroom cabinet! Have had to hide the evidence as DH and I have always tested together even though I've done probably as many tests again on my own just to be sure

curious I hadn't really thought much about discrepancies between the tests? I've got three first responses in the cupboard too... Here's betting I don't this time tomorrow Grin

zonat any line is a LINE!! the non-pregnant body shouldn't have any b-hcg at all so it's looking positive! Smile

Wish I could just chill out and stop day counting- even if I get the bfp we'll go on to the next countdown to 12 weeks.. Argh- to be a patient soul!! Smile

winkle2 · 27/03/2012 17:25

I asked my hubby last night to allow me 5 mins of talking about babies! As he thinks I obsess too much and worry too much.

Anyway, we agreed that if no BFP this month we will BOTH be giving up drinking as we can't think of anything more we should be doing. I'm taking folic acid, he's taking zinc, eating healthily (most of the time) we are using the OV sticks and trying to follow the SMEP plan. So last thing is giving up drink! I'm so pleased because my hubby drinks waaaay too much ? 4 times last week :( - and he won't listen to me, so maybe a lack of BFP will kick him into touch!

We're allowed a drink on our anniversary but THAT's IT! I've asked my mate to not contact me about nights out cause I can't resist and I can't have only one drink!

Winkly · 27/03/2012 16:49

Why would they be evap? How long before the line showed?
