oohh inoo, u made a good point though. + the lines do look a little coloured. Id say faint BFP OR a very good evap haha!!

Im done with these internet tests! going to wait now and buy a cb digital if im late! might even wait until Monday. AF arriving is better than spending £10 to be told your not pregnant (how depressing)

I was talking about my "symptom spotting" as well. Not yours. :)

I am sure you will get a BFP :D

KickingUpQuestions · 17/05/2012 12:05

How much squinting was done for the lines?

Are they clear "you can see it's a pink line" or is a ghost, shadow of a white line?

Aww There's nothing too be jealous of kicking, i expect AF will show, ive probably imagined symptoms + lines haha!

I do feel very off, but it could be anything. although the thought of them being pg symptoms is exiting :)

Your right though, and if this sickness is because of a pregnancy, im sure i would have had stronger lines, holding out hope + telling myself its because they where £1 tests haha!

i think we get so intense on finding pg symptoms when realistically speaking, hcg hormone is responsible for pg symptoms so if you are having symptoms, you should be testing positive.

And you can't get pg symptoms until you've implanted. Everything else is in the mind.

I had my mate in NZ and my brother last night telling me to relax and not think about it. Really? Eff off. Both of you :)

So - I am entering a half marathon, we're buying mountain bikes and looking at adoption. Anything to take our minds off the stress of TTC :)

Good luck everything! I really, really hope you get a BFP. Even though I was jealous as all hell yesterday :D xx

That sounds good happily i may look into that myself. I think im going too have a bad month, when AF arrives. ive been feeling so awful im convinced its pg symptoms, just constant nausea + food is just going right through me (sorry tmi) of course it is probably a bug!! two days to go, just want it too hurry up, can't even test until tomorrow when i get payed haha!

I feel so sorry for all of us :( I'm trying so hard not to stress, but I don't know how you stop. I have tried planning things to look forward to etc...but it's always at the back of your mind.

It's so hard when you know you are doing everything you possibly can to help your chances AF concieving and then you are faced with disappointment each month. I've booked my first acupuncture session so I see that's a positive step. Good luck to everyone :)

Hi kicking its so normal too feel down, This TTC journey is exhausting + the fact is none of us can control are need to have babies, and when are bodies decide to play games its cruel :(

I'm so glad to hear about your adoption plans, its amazing. + i wish u all the luck in the world TTC, i really hope it happens very soon for you!

I'm in kinda the same boat u was a few days back, i have what i think r pg symptoms. Buying cheap internet tests has not helped at all, I'm getting "is that a line or not" lines :/ its all so stressful. AF is due tomorrow or Sat! (24-25 day cycle)
I think if its not happened this month im going to try my best to focus on anything besides ttc, still going too try, but not obsess! its so not healthy :(

KickingUpQuestions · 17/05/2012 09:45

Hey ladies - thanks for the support and sorry about yesterday. AF arrived so guess that's why I was so down.

DH and I decided to investigate adoption.

We aren't giving up on TTC but the level that it seems to effect me isn't going away. We want to give a child a life that they wouldn't otherwise have had and we're happy to adopt even if we have our own baby.

So, in an effort to take some stress away, help a baby and have a family (especially knowing that we can adopt NOW while we have a choice, as opposed to in 7 years time when we find that its a last resort), we are looking into the adoption bit as well.

It's not that I don't think we will have a baby. Its that I can't control having a baby and the pressure on that is scary. If we've not conceived in 3 months, DH will have his swimmers tested.

We're going to go away at the end of the month for our 6 months "being married and not killed each other". Will get some preseed and stuff like that and just...carry on

Thanks for all your kind words xx

Good luck joyful when are you testing?

OP posts:
JoyfulJoyful · 16/05/2012 23:49

Country, hope AF stays away and you get a BFP

JoyfulJoyful · 16/05/2012 23:47

everything, would really love multiplies even more because DH doesn't and I won't have to torture myself like this again. I do hope and pray this is a BFP and it sticks this time.

kicking, please don't go. You are not a failure and I strongly believe it will happen. It may not happen now but it will. I hope you come back to us with good news.

happily, AF arrived today for me too and I was really disappointed. I had some spotting yesterday and was secretly praying that i was pregnant since it wasn't a full flow, so I guess it's a new cycle now.

Ladies, may I ask please, as I spotted yesterday but AF started today, which is CD1? Day I spotted or day AF arrived fully?

Queen, hang in there, it's gotta happen for us.

Hiii, well i couldn't resist, was so hard but held my pee for 3hours and poas!
Same thing again. little hint of a line. So confusing. i could swear theres colour. I'm going too have to wait untill Friday now + take a cb digital :)

Anyone else tested today? xx

OP posts:
redstrawberry · 16/05/2012 19:35

I think one of digital tests can be accurate upto 4 days before period - maybe you could try peeing on one of them? If you are late you could try poas today. Fx for you too country! We need some bfps to get us going!

Everything - are you poas soon too?

CountryKitty · 16/05/2012 19:25

Ladies advice please - AF due today and not arrived (yet!). Desperate to POAS BUT although AF due today I'm probably only 9/10 dpo. This has never bee a problem in the past for a successful pg but does make testing more problematic as obviously any hcg is low at AF due date. If AF doesn't show when should I POAS???

PickledFanjoCat · 16/05/2012 19:17

Congratulations GrinGrin

CountryKitty · 16/05/2012 19:13

Everything A tentative congratulations!!! If your getting a BFP this early hopefully it's a strong sticky one!! Well done you!!

If you're getting a line on the IC then you should get a clear line on a proper test.

QueenOfTheRodeo · 16/05/2012 16:17

everything thats so exciting! I don't know how you're going to manage to wait till tomorrow before testing again, I'd have done about 5 by now! Blush

happily really sorry to hear about af arriving. What you wrote in your last post - "I just don't understand why we aren't pregnant yet" - I could have written that myself. It really is frustrating when you feel like you've done everything you possibly can to help things along but then af arrives as normal. fx for next month.

red the waiting is like torture isn't it? Heres hoping that the next 10 days flys by for you.

fx country that af doesn't arrive this evening.

oh kicking I'm sorry that you're feeling so down today. You are NOT a failure at all. If I remember correctly you have an appointment with your new GP tomorrow? Hope you get to talk things through with him/her and get some reassurance. I want to punch people who tell you to 'just relax' too - I was perfectly relaxed at the start but that didn't work either! I do think though that for some women it does just take a little while longer and we are just some of those women. Some of these threads wouldn't exist if everyone got preg on their 1st month, but theres loads of us still trying isn't there? I'm comforted by the fact that in a way its actually more normal to try for a while than to get preg straight away iyswim? Be kind to yourself today kicking - have something nice for dinner, a glass of wine and snuggle up with your DH. Big hugs. x

Well i got two tests today, going too try and hold of using it untill thurs. they say the hormone doubles every 48 hours so see if i get a better line, then payday friday + i will buy 1 too take on sat fmu, AF due then so should be a reliable result!
I feel so ill, could be a bug though, strange feeling. like car sickness. watery mouth like i need to be sick and can't :( if this is all pg symptoms i really wouldn't mind, just hope it is. i should have implantation about two days ago, getting the odd twinge in lower right side and left boob(usualy the right 1) haha xxx

Fx for u too:o

OP posts:
redstrawberry · 16/05/2012 15:32

everything can you do a clear blue just to be certain? I will keep my fx for you.

country my AF is still awhile away - 10 days - feels like an eternity. I have been on the boots website to choose which test I'd get. But I have promised hubs I won't POAS until I am late. Struggling to remain patient with these symptoms.

I felt the same scratching low down this morning and its ongoing. I rarely get OV or Period cramps so def dont think its that. I am getting some pulling and tugging sensations too. and its all lower abdomen.

Thanks everyone, I'm really gutted and so cross! I'm so annoyed, I just don't understand why we aren't pregnant yet-it's the most frustrating thing. Will give Accupuncture a try and see how that goes.

Hope we get some BFP soon!! X

CountryKitty · 16/05/2012 13:28

Red I've had implantation pains before. They felt like someone was scratching my insides very low down. It all sounds hopeful. When's AF due?

My AF is due today but as yet has not made an appearance...

My cycle is regular @ 25 days long and AF usually arrives in the morning, but last month came in the evening so not actually late yet. I think I ovulated a day or so later this month so if AF is late maybe that's why. Was going to test tomorrow morning if not come on by then, but getting AF type cramps now so will wait and see. x
