Ok so best guess is OV sometime in the past 3 days. Should really wait until 21st to test going by previous cycle length.

I'm not a good 2 week waiter. Am impatient and mental and a particularly avid symptom spotter. Please come and keep me company in this fortnight of doom...........

Sorry camel that's crap, but like the previous poster said rather early than late.
I went out on Saturday and had a few champagnes was nice to get out really.
I also did another test at work in the hope that being in an inappropriate place to break down may jinx it into being positive, no such luck tho shill BFN.

I am going to wait now until Sunday no matter what even tho I have 4 tests burning a hole in my bathroom closet.
Oh and another northerner here too x

Oh so sorry camel. It's better she is early than late though I guess. Means you won't spend days wondering what is going on and you can get onto the next cycle pronto!

Maybe the shock knocked him back out emerald! I bet its the only thing you have thought about all day too!

CamelKnees · 17/07/2012 16:01

Congrats emereld !!!

Well so much for trying to be good and wait another 48 hrs to test. Bloody AF just arrived early. Sad

Thanks Dulcet and thanks for the support yesterday! Everything crossed for you later this month and good luck with the CB trial...

Yup, woke DH up - he of course did doze off again afterwards but I couldn't!! How could he sleep?!

bodi · 17/07/2012 10:46

yay emerald

lisa when we were trying for DS (which took 2 years) it felt like everyone else in the world was pregnant including friends who 'fell pregnant by accident'. Don't despair - you're time will come!

DulcetMoans · 17/07/2012 10:45

Yay emerald! I was beginning to worry about the lack of good news here. How exciting! Did you wake DP up at 5.30 to tell him??

kitty and lisa - we all seem to be on a similar cycle this month then as I am due at the weekend too. Although, same as you guys as I don't think it's my month. Don't really feel anything. A little disappointed but the CB trial is keeping my hopes up. That must help, surely?!

emeraldgirl1 · 17/07/2012 10:37

Thanks so much kittykat and v v best of luck!!!!

kittykatsforever · 17/07/2012 10:35

Lisa I needed a brief stay in the pit of dispair yesterday I'm a wk before af due well 5 days now and I think there must be something in it that tells you it's not going to be you, take a day put and tomorrow you will be looking forward to poas again!!!
One of my bf who started trying the same time as me first time actually got to announce her second!!!! Pregnancy before I was updiffed so I know your pain! Luckily I was just a few months later and our second little girls will be in the same school year Smile
Well done emerald!! Told you Wink

emeraldgirl1 · 17/07/2012 10:10

A follow-up on yesterday's mad pg symptoms... they weren't so mad after all... got BFP at 5.30 this morning...

Hi ladies,

can i join too please. On the august thread but think this one is a much better idea for me as very irregular cycles - although have been better since ds. I have PCOS but last cycles have been 27, 28 and 36 days so pretty good me (an imorivement on every 6 - 7 months). I can definitely bring the crazy too - at the moment I am drving myself mad temping and using ov sticks twice a day to even see if I ov. Does not bode well for how i will behave if actually ov and then move to a 2ww. Tryng to dtd eod for the next couple of weeks aswell, poor dh!

DulcetMoans · 16/07/2012 20:00

Maybe you wouldn't tell anyone camel and then your brain would explode!

CamelKnees · 16/07/2012 19:56

Hahaha if I'm passing one of those magnifying mirrors maybe I should look for my marbles as well??? Grin

Can you imagine if MN didn't exist and I had to bring this amount of crazy to my real life? Someone would be having me committed!

Eyebrow plucking pain free? Interesting, interesting...One of my first symptoms last time was a bit of bruising when i waxed my bikini line (poss not a symptom just an unfortunate coincidence....). Maybe check eyebrow line for slight bruising? I mean, just if you happen to be passing one of those magnifying mirrors....

kittykatsforever · 16/07/2012 14:25

Lol camel I think dulcet is right is it more crazy then the armpit one? I'm not sure!!!!!
I have no symptoms but havnt when pg anyway so it's not the best indicator but is driving me crazy non the less, camel I tested bfn this morning too but like you we are early, makes me feel like its not going to be my month though!!

DulcetMoans · 16/07/2012 14:20

Hmmmm... is it more mental than the armpit one camel??

I want some symptoms! I am symtom-less really. Although now I am wondering if there is a slight ache in my right side. Oh, oh, and I tripeed over my own feet in the supermarket when usually I am so perfectly poised and balanced yeah, right!

CamelKnees · 16/07/2012 13:12

Oh and of course hello and welcome fellow mental women

May your wee be concentrated and you stay here short

OP posts:
CamelKnees · 16/07/2012 13:10

PoAS again and BFN. Still could technically be too early but am driving self crazy!

Also came up with my most random symptom yet so gather round....

Lack of excruciating pain when eyebrow plucking in week before AF is due.

Ta daaaaaaaa!

Told you it was random

In my defence they do normally sting like a bugger when AF us due though....

Do I get a prize for most ridiculous symptom yet??????

OP posts:
DulcetMoans · 16/07/2012 13:03

I just made it kitty, it's in conception since I thought we must all be at the TTC stage to take part. I think your understanding is right. I guess if we start AF during the day we will have to do it from CD2 and maybe just note it down on the diary thing. I need to read the diary thing better!

I started a thread, yay!

emeraldgirl1 · 16/07/2012 12:38

kittykats unfortunately I have a tendency to get vast (for me!) and sore boobs every time AF due anyway so have tried and failed not to read too much into that symptom... they are worse than usual though this time.

kittykatsforever · 16/07/2012 12:33

Owwww emerald it does sound promising!!! How can you restart poas, I'd be squating the minute you said tender big boobs!!
Dulcet fx for you, not long to wait! I think alot of us on this thread are on the cb trial so a new thread would be good, should we start now or wait for outcome? I'm due this wk too, I think we are surposed to start cd1 but you wouldn't be able to take a wee sample then as it has to be first wee of the day and we won't know it's cd1 until af hits will we? Or atleast that's what I've made of it?

emeraldgirl1 · 16/07/2012 11:30

Dulcet fingers crossed for you for Thurs!
I know it sounds weird given how much am dreading appearance of AF but I think I'd still rather endure that than the horrible wait for the lines to appear (or not).
Plus I cringe to think how much £££ I have wasted on those damn tests.
I hate them so much now that even looking at the packaging makes me angry!!! Of course none of this is helped by the fact that I am a psychotic and moody cow when I am expecting my period anyway! Thanks for that, MOther Nature.
