TTC #1 Thread 7

Sorry for the negative tal, you can join me on one of those nicker watch days!

11 dpo, did a negative test this morning but spent ages staring at it (internet cheapie) convinced there was some sort of dot in the middle where the line would be if there had been a line. DH looked at it and thinks I am mad! I had to use a flashlight to see it and DH couldn't see it at all. Plus I think a faint line would be a line and not a dot, so maybe just a part of the test.

Think dulcet is usually here by 7:30ish - oh nic I hope it is good news for you this cycle!! Would be the perfect start to married life!

Morning :) thanks for explaining that rasp, may have to invest in one of those if haven't had my BFP by Christmas- well my AF didn't show up overnight :) initially AF would have been due tomorrow but may have ov'd 3 days later than I expected to (according to cb smileys) so going to test 3 days later which is Sunday!

Good luck poas this morning Dulcet!! Fx!!

I forgot to answer what m means. On the cb monitor there is a m button which u press to reset when AF arrives. At the end of ur cycle it flashes to say u should test now (with a cb digital coz that's how cb make soooooo much money!!) but I always wait until my period is due, which on my cycle days is Friday, so I'll test Saturday.

Do it nic, one more for luck

P.S both sets of fx for you in the morning dulcet x

Ah thank you both for fuelling my paranoia - I love it!! Never get tired of hearing about signs and symptoms don't worry :)

Have been noticing and recording a few things on FF mostly rubbish so we shall see - crampy feelings have gone tonight but were intense earlier today! I'm just relieved that AF has held off so far as last month luteal phase was only 8 days and I'm 8dpo today! Fx I'm not in for a nasty surprise in the morning!

Oh btw I didn't get sore boobs until a couple of weeks later. Like I said I felt a tingle. It was like a sudden tingle and then left...hope that makes sense.

lets are you really sure you want me to yap on about this again? Oh well if you insist ...OK DPO1 I recorded burping and calypo orange pee in FMU! Then nothing until DPO8 when I was burpy again and reported tingly boobs. On DPO9 I noted that I felt like there was something stuck in my throat and DPO10 said I was still burpy. On DPO11 I woke up with abdominal pains, like nothing I've experienced before. I felt pain and then stitch pains. I pooped a lot that day. That morning I just had a weird sense that I was pregnant because of the pains and that afternoon I POAS. The pains turned out to be chronic constipation btw. Apparently you can poop and still have chronic constipation when pregnant...so that was my experience in a nutshell :-)

Hey lets. Ok, I don't know precise days, particularly as I didnt know exactly when af was due but for me it was af-type cramping early on, maybe the week before af due. I also had this weird thing- quite often in the past when I had af, I would get some dried blood only in my right nostril. For a short while it changed to my left, and then it stopped. Until about a week before bfp- it was back again! Just on the right. can you get implantation bleed in your nose?! Too early I know

There was definitely increased sense of smell- I couldn't bear to wear my own perfume and my sofa smelt grim. Then two days before bfp it was all about the boobs. Really tender so I couldn't walk up or down stairs without clutching myself. Have had tender boobs with af in the past too, but this was worse and was definitely the trigger to test. In hindsight I was knackered too but I usually am!

Sure that hotchpotch won't be any real help! Fx for all you testers x x

I will accept my punishment and dutifully POAS tomorrow!

Statutory mat pay here as well!!! The pay rise is going on a new jacket that I fell in love with at the weekend, & after that, it's all going in my ISA as I know that it will come in very handy when we have children. It's a huge possibility that I'll need a larger car when I go back to work as well (hoping that I'll be able to take baby with me) so I'm really trying to be sensible with it!!

Dulcet - you're not helping my resolve not to poas until Saturday!!!!

Take my mind off it - who's gonna poas before me??!!!!

Yeah, agree with lets, help us go crazy!

Pear/thunder can I ask you a favour, please could you remind us all of your symptoms in the week leading up to your BFPs, just so we can obsess even more

Great news about the pay rise Raspberries will definitely come in handy for the rubbish maternity pay! Unless you work for a lovely company with a generous mat package of course, which sadly I don't - statutory all the way for our firm sadly!

Yeah, really would be! Pfft, who knows! I did POAS yesterday and was no good. Will do a CB one tomorrow, might as well, I have loads!

What does the 'm' mean then raspberry? Saturday is aggggggeeeeesssss away!! Ok, im not helping...!
