i normally bin it before giving it to my husband. he properly inspects it

tonight is the first time we both saw a white almost not there shadow line

we aren't talking about it or celebrating anything. we had a nasty experience in December

PickledFanjoCat · 14/05/2012 20:14

I am 2 days late but I ovulated late as well so its a bit iffy! Are you late now?

PickledFanjoCat · 14/05/2012 20:13

Well I would have thought I would have at least have had a ghost of a line on an internet cheapie by now if I was pregnant. Its my rules, I am only allowed an expensive one if I can see even the tiniest of pretend lines on the internet cheapies!

How is your line coming on?

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 20:12

why is it a waste? how late are you now?

why not do it in the morning?

PickledFanjoCat · 14/05/2012 20:08

I have just leaned out of my bathroom window with an Internet Cheapie if it makes you feel better. Im in the same boat, CD 37 no BFP. Annoying!

I have only used internet cheapies and am toying with the idea of cracking open my only FRER although its a total waste!

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 19:12

does anyone else squint and hold it under a light and look for something barely there?

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 19:10

i did a clear blue and dh and i can see a shadow of a line. it doesn't look like its there its that faint

dh said it looks like its white as well

opinions?

Hi everyone!
I'm waiting until Friday to test, don't know how!! Not sure if u have any 'symptoms' have a sort of dull ache in my lower tummy and boobs feel so heavy-have never noticed this before but we will see. I will not test before Friday, this is the first month I'm going to have willpower!

Sorry your still in limbo kicking..how late are you now? Do you know when you definitely ovulated? X

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 18:25

not started af but had bfn today.

do you normally cramp days before?!!!

CountryKitty · 14/05/2012 18:17

Hi ladies how are we all doing today?

Kicking Have you started AF yet?

Not really any change here other than back sore with AF type cramps on and off today :( Will need to wait and see what Wednesday brings although not holding out much hope now!

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 14:06

I have had every single conceivable "early" pregnancy symptom

  • CM increase
  • No breast tenderness until 12dpo
  • Extreme thirst
  • Increased sense of smell
  • Aversion to certain foods
  • "Swelling" inside
  • Bloating / gas
  • Ovulation spotting / EWCM
  • Exhaustion
  • Sore joints
  • Dull cramps / pressure on lower body
  • Increased urination
  • Acne on chest and back
  • Fuller breasts in last 2 or 3 days
  • Implantation spotting - with cramps and pressure
  • Cramping for three of the last three days

And I think I am starting AF today

redstrawberry · 14/05/2012 14:00

ooooo isn't being thirsty another early pg symptom?

sorry not CM forums, but CM threads - there are lots of them on mumsnet detailing what EWCM should look like and when.

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 13:35

Thinking AF may make appearance today.

So must book doctors appointment to figure out why am thirsty.

CM forums?

redstrawberry · 14/05/2012 13:08

Grin you are starting to sound more positive kicking

My DH does not even want to hear the symptoms - he knows i am insanely obsessed. My implantation (if I predicted OV correctly) should happen between 18th - 22nd. Although my normally reliable CM has completely deceived me this cycle so not sure what is going on.

I have been on CM forums all night yesterday and apparently not most get EWCM but still have BFPs so I am hoping I am in that bracket.

Expecting to go into symptom spotting overdrive by the weekend to coincide with implantation. May has never felt so long!

Gutted for you rodeo Sad

QueenOfTheRodeo · 14/05/2012 12:00

Hi ladies, sorry to hear you're both in limbo at the mo and fx all the symptoms are pg related!

I think I'm out for the month - af isn't due until tomorrow but I'm getting cramping and (tmi sorry) had a very small amount of blood on the tissue when I wiped this morning. So fully expecting af to make an appearance today. I'm gutted as really thought I had all the right symptoms this month. DH says we'll just try again next month but that just seems so long away at the moment!

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 11:45

Yeh there doesn't seem to be any foolproof method to check.

My breasts are just getting more and more sore. My tummy twinges are still coming and going.

My DH said I need to stop analysing because I'm driving myself insane

everythinghappensforareason · 14/05/2012 11:38

Yes well last month i noticed it and got a bit exited then AF came, so im guessing this always happens i just noticed last month because i was symptom spotting. its quite watery at the mo! x

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 11:25

Oooh it could likely be implantation! Watch yer knickers!!! :D

Explain the CM bit? You normally get an increase in CM before AF?
They say that you should "dry" up before AF?

everythinghappensforareason · 14/05/2012 11:22

last two cycles have been 24 and 25days. i feel very crampy, and sorry for tmi, but uno when ure on, and it kinda "flows" out haha, im getting cm like this, i usually get this before AF,without the cramps though, and usually a day or two before. im not feeling positive any more!

But i did see ur post about us forgetting about implantation, and thats so true, i found a predictor, and mine said between 11th-15th, today is 14th so the only hope im holding onto is maybe im experiencing implantation? :)

OP posts:
KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 11:04

everything - I wouldn't assume you are due AF if its 4-5 days away. Or is this a normal course for you?

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 11:04

Well I thought I implanted on Saturday.

Also - realised that I had AF on:

23 January
21 February
19 March
15 April

So maybe I am actually due tomorrow?? If we assume that OV occurred a day or two later (we DTD a lot over that time so I am not worried). AF would be a bit later. Implantation would occur at a more "acceptable" time (not the day before my AF but rather, 3 days before AF).

It still wouldn't cross out potential pg. AND am only MARGINALLY clutching at straws... :D

everythinghappensforareason · 14/05/2012 10:58

Aww kicking im so hoping u get ure BFP soon :) I think u maybe just implanted later + thats why, im hoping this is the case for u :)

AF due for me in 4-5 days, i feel crampy today + very AF'y :( haha!

I just want too no either way now so i can dtd through next month.
Ive used all my internet cheapys. im 9DPO, had a few evap lines but otherwise nothing, ive seen people on youtube get really clear BFP's at this point, even on digitals, so i'm guessing im out! but we will see:)....

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 09:50

HA HA red. Like I am going to wait until Thursday. Pfffft

It's not over until it's over, red rover - right?!

Positive thinking. I am sure I implanted on Satuday. C'MON LITTLE EGGIE

redstrawberry · 14/05/2012 09:40

Maybe HcG is still too low to be detected. You seem to have all the symptoms and a lot of people do get BFPs a little later than a day after AF is due.

To give you some hope I found this www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/842298-Late-period-although-test-saying-BFN/AllOnOnePage

Lots of luck for Thursday x

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 09:21

Ok so I read this:

How early can pregnancy be detected depends on the pregnancy hormone hcG which can be detected in the blood about three to four days after implantation. Urine hCG can be detected about two to three days after blood hCG can first be seen. Detection of hCG depends on timing of implantation, so hCG can normally be detected in the blood between nine and 16 days after ovulation (HPT: 12-19 days after ovulation).

So if I implanted on Saturday, it would take a minimum of three days to show up in a blood test and then two days after that to show up in a urine test.

I will know by Thursday. Unless AF arrives
