Hi again, lexi I tested last week (Wednesday and friday) and was a BFN. I think tomorrow I shall "treat" myself to another test and see what happens.... Kind of worried about being disappointed but will be ready to keep you company

Hello!
I have been lurking for a couple of weeks, but posted on various threads in the last week.
I've been waiting for AF to join the November bus, but...
Lexi - I stopped pill in 3rd week Sept, and almost since then have had verrrrry sore boobs! Having DTD a few times, I'm now left not knowing if this is my body readjusting to life without pill, or is an actual symptom.
My story is of no help to you whatsoever! I just related to the boobs!
Hope all works out well for you.

LexiLoganberry · 15/10/2012 12:05

wavesandsmiles Haven't you tested at all?

Like the saying goes misery likes company, is that right, well if it is we can keep each other company.

TakingTheStairs · 15/10/2012 12:03

wavesandsmiles oh please test!!!!!
I'm excited for you

Hi everyone - lexi I am also feeling cross at the moment. AF is 6 days late for me as well. I don't "feel" pg, so still resisting testing. Just wish I knew one way or the other to be honest, but preparing myself to hop on the November bus.

LexiLoganberry · 15/10/2012 11:41

Thanks chookford Only other symptom really is sore boobs, I do get sore boobs in my normal cycle but they are more tender than usual but I could again just be trying to convince myself.

AF is 6 days late, 20 days past ovulation which I thought was too late for implantation. Some women seem to get little bleeds at various times when they are pregnant.

You right I need to chill out and just wait it out. Having said that I did phone the doctor's earlier and left a message to ask if they would do a blood test. Sometimes I'm my own worst enemyBlush

chookford · 15/10/2012 11:09

Lexi this is one of those really annoying times when it could be either af making a slow apperance of it could be signs of implantation... how many days late are you now? Do you have any other syptoms apart from the cramping (again this annoying syptom could be for either!)

as much as it sucks the only thing you can really do is wait a few more days/ a week and then re-test with the same brand (pink dye) and hopefully the extra few days will give you a definative yes or no.. I know that doesnt really help but there isnt much more advice I can offer at this stage sorry! But I do agree with your hubby dont test every morning it will only make you more stressed.. I would leave it a good few days and if no signs of af arriving by then it may very well be it was implantation... try to take your mind of of it as much as you can (I know that is easier said than done!) but worrying and stressing will not change the outcome so give yourself a break and try to relax!

And dont worry your not the only one who wants to scream and stamp their feet, sure every lady on here has felt that at one point!

LexiLoganberry · 15/10/2012 10:52

Thanks pinkfizz sorry AF got you, I had really sore boobs and with AF being late I've been hoping it's going to turn out well.

Your right all I can do is wait, I'm feeling really childish, want to stomp my feet and shout it's not fair.

littlepinkfizz · 15/10/2012 10:29

I was like that last week lexi .had convinced myself that spotting was implantation bleeding. Got v v faint line on cb then nothi g on frer . Then AF came with vegenance. It's just a waiting game for you lexi but fx x

LexiLoganberry · 15/10/2012 09:11

Thanks for your reply granny DH said not to test every day as each morning I was disappointed, last tested sat with FR was waiting till tomorrow to test again hoping for a stronger line

Thursdays test was a FRER - faint positive
Fridays test was a CB plus - can see something is natural light, I read as a neg
Saturdays test was a FR one step - can see some thing in natural light I read as neg.

Still have one FR one step and one CB plus but like you said plan to stay away from blue dye tests from now on and always use the same tests from the same range, don't think it's helping my confusion that each test is different with different sensitivity, didn't know this when I brought the tests, only after when I phoned the FR helpline.

Grannyapple · 15/10/2012 08:47

Hi lexi it could be that's AF is on its way...but equally could be one of those weird things or possibly implantation? My friend had what she thought was AF but it didn't come to much after 1 day so she did a test a couple of days later...& hers was BFP..she's now 14 wks pg!

But equally I had the exact same as you last month...was convinced it was a faint positive but then read about blue dye tests etc & how they are notorious for evap lines etc. anyway I ended up stocking up in super drug tests & decided to wait a few days...in the meantime AF arrived very slowly...took 2 days if CM type spotting( sorry if TMI, this early).. Then full whack came on.

Maybe give it a day or 2 to see what happens, otherwise you'll drive yourself insane (I know I did & I know it's easier said than done too),

LexiLoganberry · 15/10/2012 08:11

Welcome to the bus Laptopgirl I can't add you to the list because I'm useless and have no idea how to do it but someone will help you out.

I'm feeling really fed up, I got a very faint positive last thursday wanted to test again thinking that the line would get stronger in the following days, friday and saturdays test I read as negative, you could see something if you stood by the window with bright natural light but to be honest they weren't very promising, I think they were probably evaporation lines. I'm now 20 DPO and was thinking it must be good news because AF hadn't arrived. I'm usually a reliable 28 day cycle.

When I got up this morning after going for a wee, tmi I wiped and had pink CM

I did wonder with the faint line and then neg HPT's (althought the fri and sat tests are less sensitive than the thur one) if it could be CP but isn't that when you test early and then get your period as usual, my faint positive was 2 days after AF was due.

Feeling very confused and pretty pissed off, I want to be pregnant so much.

Do you think it sounds like AF imminent. Had some cramps yesterday evening.

Laptopgirl · 14/10/2012 20:36

Ooo I have just come back to using MN! Seen this thread, can I hop on board?? I'm hoping for a BFP but could be wishful thinking as this our first month TTC after having our first LO last year.

Im half way thru my 2WW! eeeeeeeek!

blargl · 14/10/2012 20:16

thanks mrsBri, fx!

Autumn11 · 14/10/2012 19:48

Hi ladies, congratulations to all with BFP's and sorry to all those without.

I thought AF was due on 12th but so far hasn't showed. Poas on the 12th but BFN. Not getting my hopes up though cos don't feel one little bit pregnant. With DS I felt sick and had sore boobs within a few weeks of getting pregnant. Pretty sure I'll be hopping on November's bus by tomorrow!

MrsBri · 14/10/2012 19:16

That should be ok timing, so don't worry too much :-)

blargl · 14/10/2012 19:09

yes mrsBri I'm just a bit worried we didn't manage it the day before the smiley but we did two days before so hopefully there will have been a sperm to meet the egg whenever it was released....

PerditaMcLeod · 14/10/2012 09:27

Morning all. Got my dates so wrong this month! Thought AF was due 7 October, but put in a surprise appearance on 26 Sept 2 hours into a 12 flight to Tokyo..... Not happy!

What that does mean is I might not be off the bus for this month yet...

So this is cycle 2 and I will be testing on 26 Oct :-)

Congratulations to the BFP ladies!

MrsBri · 14/10/2012 09:11

No problem...we were busy, but it had the desired effect!

It's also better to have sex before ovulation, not the day of, too.

blargl · 13/10/2012 09:28

thanks nic, wow you were busy!

so far I've persuaded dh to do it 11, 13, 16, 18, 20 with smiley on CD20 (35 day cycle)... fx for tonight! this is taking over my life, it's like being 19!!

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 13/10/2012 02:21

We DTD CDs 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14 and 16 with a smilie on CD15 and got up duffed if that helps?!
