Sunshine I have no idea when I OV either as apps say one thing and monitor peaked 15 days ago so I should have had AF or BFP by now.

Apart from the odd cramps wind I have no other symptoms. Dpo7 and away from home tests until dpo10. So I can't POAS until dpo11. --that's will power for you. Grin

Hi puppy and everyone else!

I feel your pain winkle cd43 and bfn. I've given up guessing when I oved as everytime I put new info in ff, temp coverline changes and ov day changes. Think I'm just waiting for af too. Going to do frer in the morning

Lolcbcb · 18/08/2012 11:41

Pink I won't test till sat. Too scared to face it, prefer to continue with my little dream until af comes

Bfn again this morning.

Now just waiting for AF. Who knows when she'll arrive. Took 43 days last month!

hehe. lol you sound as pg mental as I am! Fingers crossed for Monday, or we may both be destined for the men in white jackets Grin
Honestly this TTC business does crazy stuff!

Peacocklady · 18/08/2012 09:42

I'm a poas addict, I find harsh reality less consuming than hope!
Got af this morning! Glad to know things are getting back to normal and that it's exactly 2 weeks after I thought I ovulated. Good luck everyone!

Lolcbcb · 18/08/2012 07:50

Ha pink!
Check out my fake symptoms!
Headache-tick
Queasiness-tick
Itchy boobs (new one)- tick
Cramping (which would NEVER be af related)-tick
And the most definite of all- I had what I know to be implantation bleeding on 6/7 dpo!
But am expecting af on Monday!

IBelieveInPink · 18/08/2012 07:23

Ooh frustrated I have loads of made up symptoms!
Check these out, funny taste in mouth, headaches, cramping, dizziness, sore boobs and finally, nausea in morning and evening!
However, problem is despite all of these that my brain has invented I don't really feel that I am. And lots of people say you just know. I think I'm just being a mentalist

frustratedpants · 18/08/2012 00:10

Real symptoms would be good though

frustratedpants · 18/08/2012 00:09

You never know winkle Wink it's a good distraction method. Grin

*disclaimer - Ignore my symptom spotting, I had cramps last month at this time too. Sad
Anyone else have any made up symptoms. Nah, just me. Grin Blush

Frustrated - I'm on cd27 so not sure how much good it did! But we're trying eod this month so we just gave to keep on going.

lolcbcb it's an odd one. And the odd fence sitters who chant POAS POAS POAS Grin

winkle Shock stealth brag? Wink I didn't. DH is snoring. So I watched tribes with Bruce Parry. I would Grin

Shall I start the symptom spotting....
I have ... Cramps just about my pubic hairline. In the middle. At 6/7dpo. hmm might check last months Fred to see if I had cramps then, I think I did

Lolcbcb · 17/08/2012 23:39

Oh woody. Sorry about af. At least u can enjoy holiday and diving!
I'm fascinated about this poas situation. Half of us are addicted (no judgement) and the other half (me) are too scared of bfn and delay poas more than necessary. That means more days of obsessing symptom spotting for no reason!
We are all silly in our own little ways Grin

Hi all

Af came today for me!

Hope you all get BFP this month!

frustratedpants · 17/08/2012 22:15

Only 5 seconds of panic, missed thank goodness, but only just. My heart is still racing a bit. Grin

How can you let DH go without you? That's so unfair. I am Envy jealous by your possession of chocolate. --I haven't had a chocolate bar for at least 6 weeks. Proper withdrawal. Sad

PuppyMummy · 17/08/2012 21:59

that will have distracted u for a good 5 mins!

frustratedpants · 17/08/2012 21:46

Ooh bloody hell almost dropped my phone down the toilet!

frustratedpants · 17/08/2012 21:45

Hi puppy welcome back.

And in aid of the 2ww distraction technique you can all have a cheesy grease quote "oh look the gang's all together again"

IBelieveInPink · 17/08/2012 20:57

sunshine I was thinking exactly the same, how is there enough hormones for feeling but not for testing?! Urgh.

But to answer your question, I would test on the morning you go, and if bfn I would enjoy myself. It is a personal decision, and not the way everyone likes to do it, but personally I think getting yourself stressed over missing out on things can cause more issues that a couple glasses of wine! Just don't go crazy if there is a possibility Smile

PuppyMummy · 17/08/2012 20:49

hi super & frustrated think I was on a 2ww thread with u last month. its 2ww time again! af due next Fri for me.

also sunshine I think I have been on a previous 'month' thread with u.

sunshine my oh is currently at v festival. I couldn't go cos my best girlfriend who we normally go with has a new baby (not going on my own with no one to go to loo or back to tent with!!)
this would be ok cos the plan was that I wouldn't go anyway cos I'd be pregnant.... riiiiiiiight!!!

have choc and popcorn to make up for it!

SunshineOutdoors · 17/08/2012 19:39

Thanks

By the way, did anyone see this thread in chat today? I thought it was lovely

berri · 17/08/2012 19:19

Thanks for new thread winkle Smile

Hi to everyone - lets see if we can get a few new bfp's in the second half of the month!

Sunshine - just go and enjoy yourself. Until you get a bfp there's nothing you can do so shouldn't change behaviour. So my docs said anyway when I asked whether I could carry on with the vino while ttc! Have fun, it might be the last opportunity to let your hair down for a while!!
