Aw red - hugs. I am sorry :(

It will happen for us. I've been going for 8 months, my brother and sister in law fell pregnant in 3 months, my mate in 4 months, my other mate in 9 months. It's BOUND to happen.

I would love boys. I would have a rugby team of them. I find them cuter than girls... :D

That and if I had a daughter, she would to learn to grow up with a software engineer for a father and a fairly randomly tom-boyish mum and she would only have lego and toys that taught her to think. Rather than kitchen sets and Barbies. It would be a thing in our house to teach our daughter that reality shows are rubbish, female role models are NOT "celebrities", she would only watch David Attenborough, The Smurfs and Gummy Bears and my DH has already said that they would be taught complex thought processes early on!

HA HA HA - see?? The process I have in place is going to be VERY different in reality :D
My mates said I was going to land up with a pink, fluffy, Barbie-loving Netball team of girls... :D

Took the FRER and POAS for the first time ever.
Hubs was there to check the test for me.

It was a BFN Sad. Showed up in 30seconds. At least now I can get back to work and do something useful than obsessing! I guess it was too much to expect to get lucky in the first month. They are mostly AF symptoms.

very wise kicking but i don't for 1 minute believe u don't deserve babies, theres only a small minority out their who don't, there usualy the 1s who get them aswell :/.

I do have a little boy, and im so lucky and ino that! it's hard to explain i love him so much, but i feel like im in a good place and i could provide for more than 1 now. and with all ready having 1 i just kind of expected it to happen within the 1st month or two!
maybe next month will be lucky for me like i said earlier in the thread if i conceive next month my due date would be the same as DS :) haha xx

That's how I feel. But you already have a child, don't you?

I feel like it just won't happen for me. Like I don't deserve it really. But then I know I felt the same with a lot of things - traveling, getting married. The really good things are so good that we battle to process them. We battle to see how our lives can be so good because it comes down to us believing that those really great things can happen to us.

When you plan things, you have an idea in your head of how those things will play out. And it's very rare that they play out how we expect them to. And because they don't follow our scripts, we have no idea how to process those changes.

It's all bullshit :D

No kicking sometimes we need sensible + realistic thoughts :)

I do this every bloody month, i won't take it to badly, its all i expect these days, even when im symptom spotting. deep down i always think noo it won't happen! x

I mean that I feel like I am being a bit too practical - whereas sometimes people like optimism instead of just blunt practicality.

So do you want practical or optimism?? :D

I feel like I am being too honest having only just gone through this and I don't want to be the downer for you :)

Do I need to be more positive for you guys? xx

everythinghappensforareason · 18/05/2012 10:07

I will test again later on :) trying too find the miu for these 1s online x

OP posts:
KickingUpQuestions · 18/05/2012 09:58

Red - TEST!! :D

If you have symptoms and they are pg symptoms, then test. Because if you have enough hormone in your body to generate pg symptoms, then the hormone will be picked up by a test.

I had all those symptoms as well :)

KickingUpQuestions · 18/05/2012 09:56

Does it not say on the insert what the sensitivity is?

I would stick to Superdrug own brand or the digital. I know though that even when you get a BFN, once you've had a positive, you need AF to arrive to believe it.

Fingers crossed its just a rubbish test

redstrawberry · 18/05/2012 09:56

if it helps, i am in the same torn state - to test or not to test! Arrrghhhh! I hate this time of the month.

Cramping hasn't stopped for 3 days now, it comes and goes.
Breasts are massive, very sore - pointy nipples... can't touch them.
Weeing more frequently.
CM getting wetter with white bits but not increasing in amount.
I felt like crying over Eastenders! Confused
Been sleeping early for the last few days - very tired.
Vivid dreams - lots of them!

I guess I never had the symptom spotting under control. Just want this cycle to get over now so I know for sure whether this is all in my mind and possibly just AF symptoms or whether there is more to it.

I used the pharmacy own brand, no idea what miu or anything. but thought this late in the game if it was happening it would show!

I think i will be ok, if AF is going to arrive i just hope its soon then atleast my cycles r regular, also got an ann summers party, and a wedding. so i will beable to drown my sorrows if things don't turn out well :) x

Check what the sensitivity is is what I mean

KickingUpQuestions · 18/05/2012 09:51

everything

Leave the digital for a day or two. Was AF due today?

I read on that poas website that there will always be a line - that you can't unequivocally rely on a test to be perfect and stand up under intense scrutiny.

But if the line is clear as day - that no squinting, no light tilts, no close-one-eye-and-look-from-this-angle-for-10-minutes has taken place, you are more than likely pregnant.

So don't despair. What did you use? Which test?

Yeah i am going too wait. still have 1 of the pharmacy brand tests left. only tiny bit of hope im holding onto is ive Never had a FMU BFP :/ strange haha! but always had more look testing in the evening. i will wait untill tomorrow and see what happens x x

OP posts:
redstrawberry · 18/05/2012 09:48

Voice of reason says wait till Sunday to see if you are late and then use the digital.
But at the same time for peace of mind I'd be tempted to do the digital now.

Ok then the way I see it is if you wait for AF if it comes it will be Sad but at least you won't waste the money spent on the digital? And if you are pregnant Smile there will be no room for doubt!

I hate the voice of reason.
