Hi y'all, Welcome to our new meeting place :-) Let's refresh as usual -

Bunnygirlie - 32, married, TTC since June, due to OV this week according to app

Paah yeah I'm sure either is fine to use.

I've got one sore booby today - only one! Very odd.

Pipbin where do you live that's an hour from London and £105000?!! Some of the suburbs we were trudging round the other day would have taken almost an hour to get into the centre of town once you've schlepped to the station...

I will be staying with my cousin and her family when AF is due- trying to surreptitiously POAS in someone else's house isn't going to be easy especially with Internet cheapy dipsticks!! I may just wait until I'm due and then use a proper test if AF doesn't show up.

paah · 21/10/2012 11:14

Hey ladies, yeay on the bfps, Boooo hisssss to AF.
I've been lurking but not posting much, don't feel I've much to contribute tbh as you're all far more knowledgeable!
Quick question- I've got fairly bad ov pain today, is it ok to use heat pad or take any painkillers? Battling through ATM and counting down the minutes days til I can poas!
Thank you for any advice.

Bunnygirlie · 21/10/2012 10:49

POAS buddies yay :-)

I shall def wait till 1st nov to poas! AF shall prob appear by then anyway :-(

Rache, i don't drink that much so haven't changed my drinking habits yet but if I ever get that elusive BFP I will stop!

Oh, I spot every single cycle really.
I've found that my cycles have been 6 days shorter since my HSG. Our bodies are odd.

Rache1S · 20/10/2012 21:41

Pipbin I have never ever spotted until these 2 cycles TTC! Who knows how our really complicated plumbing actually works??!!

On a slightly different note, have any of you lovely ladies been laying off the booze and if so can anybody recommend an alcohol-free red wine and where I can buy some? I can't face spending the next 36 weeks without my beloved red. Sad

Lolcbcblemonlime · 20/10/2012 18:57

Me too pib. My app says af due on thu 25th but my cycles have been a little longer after mc so I'm not poas until Sunday at least. If af not here by then.
Was it on this thread we were talking about being ginger??? Cause I'm one too!!!!

Pipbin · 20/10/2012 18:50

I'm ignoring all symptoms. Honest.
Due to test on the 30th which will be 14 dpo.
After 15 cycles I can manage to not POAS until AF is due.

janey1234 · 20/10/2012 18:39

So quod, pip and bunny - we're all due BFP (fx Smile) or AF (Sad) at about the same time... Starting to POAS at the weekend?

I'm making up a whole lotta symptoms this time - boobs getting sore from prodding again...Blush

Pipbin · 20/10/2012 12:12

Just reading back through the thread, it was interesting what you said Rache about spotting. I now know that a bit of spotting is not the end.

Pipbin · 20/10/2012 09:23

I'm due on the 30 Bunny.

ZombiesAreClammyDodgers · 19/10/2012 23:36

I'm a bit Hmm
A lot of zombie related user names lately, -or maybe I'm just noticing them more since I changed my name to a zombie related one!

Pipbin · 19/10/2012 20:04

Quoid buy my house. £105,000 and only an hour from London on the train.

Bunnygirlie · 19/10/2012 19:35

Ello! Just been for a massage, she said my shoulders were the knottiest she's seen in a while. I guess the stress of busy work, work on house and TTC is taking it's toll :-(

I have been inputting my dates into 2 different apps and they say AF due 30th Oct. Anybody else due around that time?

OP posts:
Quodlibet · 19/10/2012 18:53

Janey I will be staying with my cousin in Crete but probably surreptitiously trying to pee on Internet cheapies. Not the easiest thing to do in someone else's house!!

Pipbin yes! You are definitely due the mythical happy ending. I hope so!

Well today I have mostly been trudging miles around London suburbs in the pissing rain looking at flats. It's so depressing how expensive everything has got!

ZombiesAreClammyDodgers · 19/10/2012 18:07

I'm sorry winkle. Sad
I've been SO bad today, had a HUGE sugar binge.

Pipbin · 19/10/2012 16:40

Quoid my AF is due on the 30th, which is half term, hurrah. That is the Tuesday and my appointment is on the Wednesday. I'm going to wish for that mythical 'found out I was pg on the morning of my appointment'.

janey1234 · 19/10/2012 15:22

Quod - you really do seem to be living a glam life! And yes we are POAS buddies again - when is your AF due again, and when are you going to break and start POAS? You going to try next Friday and Saturday, and Sunday, and probably Monday too with me too?

Quodlibet · 19/10/2012 13:40

Sorry you are out and down winkle. Get it all out on here, we are all sympathetic old gravidas.

Janey we are POASing buddies again this month. I will be away from DP (and abroad, again - I sound well jet-set don't I!? I'm not, promise) so am a bit nervous about it. Pipbin when are you looking at POAS action?

Pipbin · 19/10/2012 12:54

MN lore is that Superdrug own brand tests are very good.
3dpo here. Seems that AF is due on the day before my fertility clinic appointment!
Also I've decided that next month would be much better for due date timing. Honest.

HazleNutt · 19/10/2012 12:51

As I complained, I bought the cheap ones that were supposed to be really sensitive. Got a BFP on the Digital several days before the cheap ones started showing even the faintest lines. So maybe just wait til 29th and try the digital?

janey1234 · 19/10/2012 12:42

I bought some ebay cheap ones as I think I'm rapidly becoming addicted to POASing but also have in the cupboard at home a clear blue digital... Maybe I should invest in Early Response too?!

HazleNutt · 19/10/2012 12:28

janey what test are you using? The Early Response should in principle show something by Friday (although I used it last time and it didn't show anything til AF was due).

janey1234 · 19/10/2012 12:12

ps I'm sorry winkle Sad

janey1234 · 19/10/2012 12:12

Oh, a pregnant elderberries thread would be brilliant.... Fingers crossed lots of us will be joining you soon...

AF due 29th - when do I start POAS? Next Friday? Or too soon...

Accidentally drank waaaaay too much last night and am feeling horrendous today, totally irresponsible 2ww behaviour from me Blush

One of my friends just sent me this e-mail - (I know she sounds nuts for the 'little bit psychic' thing but she's not!) - fingers crossed she's right about the pregnant bit -have absolutely no intention of POASing in front of anyone!

"Ok- well I?m going to tell you because it is only a dream, (but just to warn- I am, quite often, a little bit psychic) You found out you were pregnant! You actually did the test in front of me in my flat- was a bit gross to be honest"

Rache1S · 19/10/2012 11:13

Hazle I was planning to test today before curiosity got the better of me on Wednesday, and I agree a knocked-up Elderberries thread full of familiar faces would be great Grin
