It's in a book woody, Zita West guide to getting pregnant I think its called.

I no have 4 FR tests! opps! They are double packs, BOGOF in Superdrug if anyone is interested.

woody17 · 08/10/2012 13:29

I think I'm going to poas on Thursday - will still be a bit early though.

Where can you find the zita west explanation dulcet?

pear I think I'm 7/8dpo but then had a tiny bit of ewcm yesterday which confused me a bit. Have been feeling nauseous almost constantly (apart from when I'm eating) since Saturday and getting painful twinges in my boobs and non-painful twinges in lower abdomen.

Lolcbcblemonlime · 08/10/2012 13:19

Yay poas nic! Woody when are u poas?
Only thing I have to report is a load of cm. think epo working!

My CM hasn't played along with Zita, Dulcet, as you know. I've given up on her chart as it bears no resemblance to my reality!

POAS buddy! I'll only be 10dpo then, so shouldn't get hopes up.

After the last 2 cycles I should learn to just NOT symptom spot!

DulcetMoans · 08/10/2012 12:20

Yay weds!

Thanks pear, I thought this cycle was different but maybe it won't be. I had the stitch thing and the sickness like I'm hungry thing but its not looking like it means anything as BFN this morning.

Might go buy a FR now though... Test with nic weds if no AF then! Haha!

peardrop2 · 08/10/2012 12:15

Yayyyyyyyy roll on Wednesday!!

I hope it is why I feel sick too!

Woody oh I really hope so!! How many DPO are you now?

woody17 · 08/10/2012 12:08

I really hope that's why I'm feeling so sick

peardrop2 · 08/10/2012 12:06

I have to lock my POAS pom poms away so I don't stress the bride out before the big day Wink

peardrop2 · 08/10/2012 12:03

woody yes you can get symptoms before getting a positive. You know who was wrong!

Hi Dulcet you OK? I got lots of cm in my 2ww, very clear and wet and then creamy towards the end.

DulcetMoans · 08/10/2012 11:56

Good question woody, I wonder this. kick always said you can't but I don't know.

I don't trust Zita West now! Her explanation of cm cycle is not matching me at all. I shouldn't be getting any now but I just had loads again and I am due AF from today!

Bet you can't wait to test now then nic! At least if its a BFN you will have a wonderful wedding to look forward to! Fx though, will be waiting for your announcement!

Where's pear?!

RaspberrysAndIcecream · 08/10/2012 11:30

Morning!! Hope ur feeling better soon Nic - go and poas lol!!

Blockette some say 1st urine of the day, others say not. But I think u have to test the same time everyday. If they're cheap & u have lots then maybe start from day 8/9? It might be that u ov earlier or later than u have been thinking (I know that was the case with me - I was several days out)

Was just almost sick :-(

Weirdest cold ever!

OP posts:
woody17 · 08/10/2012 11:09

tal I'm looking forward to reading your findings!

blockette I think it depends on how long your cycle is as to how early you should start using them.

nic that'd be such a nice present!

So, I have a question - do you think that you can start experiencing symptoms before a test would show a positive?

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 08/10/2012 10:53

Fx I can use it!

Still a bit achey in lower abdomen and a little sicky as well.

Really want this to work!

BlocketteBananaSmoothie · 08/10/2012 10:23

good morning everyone! Congrats for the BFP Lets! :)

Sorry Tal hope you're not too disappointed.

Right, I've just got myself some of these OV sticks - (only cheap ones to start with) - when should I start using them? and what time of day is best?

  • I should really read the instructions ...
peardrop2 · 08/10/2012 10:15

Awww Nic I love the idea of the ribbon on the cb stick Grin

TalTangerine · 08/10/2012 09:57

Are our bodies always awkward and we don't notice, or are they cruel when we are TTC?

Exactly, through the power of Science* over the next two months I will be conducting an experiment to find out The Truth for you all!

Thanks Woody, it's really hard to do but I know how she would feel if I missed her wedding. I wish I could talk to her about it, but I just don't feel like I can tell anyone.

*not science

letskiwithisthing · 08/10/2012 08:38

That would be the best feeling ever- like your little secret that nobody else knows :-) so romantic! Hope you both have a day full of tell tale signs today, keep us posted!

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 08/10/2012 08:32

Yeah, I think so...if I can! Or maybe give him an early present of a CB digi with ribbon round it!

Now, creamy CM - and lots of it - has been a feature of the last two cycles. While I have some this cycle, it just isn't on the scale of the last two.

Everything is different. Probably still being tricked though! :-/

OP posts:
woody17 · 08/10/2012 08:30

Nic If you do test before Sat, will you wait until your wedding day to tell?

Original poster
kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 08/10/2012 08:28

Morning all...I'm 8dpo give or take. Not long til I can test.

Getting through today and tomorrow will be a challenge the way I feel though. So glad I finish tomorrow. :+)

This cycle feels different to the last two, which are the only 2 I know I OV'd.

We shall see! :-)

I'd so love to tell Bri I'm pregnant on Sat. Fx tightly!

woody17 · 08/10/2012 08:26

Thanks lets I really hope so...

Having a lot of creamy cm as well (sorry for tmi).
