May we have a positive May!

right I have to shoot for now, will hopefully be on at the weekend, take care all and thanks for listening to my random ranblings, lol.

Me too! If not, I've got MN to cheer me up.

I can really sympathise with your extra 1ww. You obviously have excellent self-control.

no no you're not crashing Debs after all it's a support thread for people who are ttc and generally we've all been there, and you know only too well what it's like to go through it :)

I'm fine thanks debbsy, a lovely day only 8 kids in class (normally 11) so we nipped out in the minibus to fanny's farm - yes its really called that and to the park - lovely
Wannabe that's great about the dog, I'm so pleased for you does it have a name?
Hopecat I also agree with wannabe, it is very easy to think yu have managed it especially if you have really good sex (sorry but you all know what I mean)as you can really make yourself think that was the one.

fair enough hc :), really hope you're right then x

i know i feel for you i really do ive been there myself a number of times but still no af is still no af.The very best of luck to you and im sorry for crashing your thread.

Wannabe, thanks for your concern, but this is totally different to any AF symptoms I've ever had.

The women on both sides of my family have a history of very quick conception and very early strong symptoms, and the ones I'm experiencing now are very similar to the ones my Mum had at this stage in both her pregnancies, and my Grandmother.

I've always been very 'symptom aware', and the only AF symptoms I've ever had are raging PMT and bloating.

I know you the advice is meant kindly, but as I've said before on this thread, I'd rather look on the positive side, then deal with the disappointment. I don't see the point in suppressing feelings: leads to depression and taking it out on my HB.

Debsie I really hope you're right, part of me wants to think of myself as being pregnant, but there's a part of me that says be careful it might not be. I'm scared to get excited in case it all goes wrong and it's something else. I almost wish I would start throwing up in the mornings - that would make it a bit more clear-cut?

oh peachy i meant to say I'm starting with my dog on the 15th of May but the guy's dropping him here on the friday before so he can settle in.

HC try not to read anything into simptoms, I know that is a lot easier said than done, but cd24 is very early to have such strong simptoms, I really hope that you are pg and will keep everything crossed for you, but try and keep an open mind, even if af comes, it doesn't necessarily mean you have had a miscarriage, a lot of the pg simptoms are also af simptoms, but we often don't notice them when we're not ttc.

Hi Wannabe: I'm only on CD24, so I'm definitely not testing yet. I’m going to try to hold out until at least next Friday (CD31). That way if AF comes like she did last month, at least I won’t have seen a BFP and got excited.

Thanks for your wishes Debbsy.

Because I’ve never had any children there’s a big part of me that can’t believe that I could be PG. I’m pretty sure I am at the moment, but I’ve got a busy weekend ahead so I’ll have lots of distractions.

Got two parties (and have decided not to drink –boo), a dinner party and seeing both sets of parents. Blimey.

very well peachy thanks working from home today so next to my computer here and working on my laptop.How are you?
Wannabe when i got my bfp it was a total shock as we had been having a break from ttc from sept as it was really getting to me,had 3 clearblue digital in the drawer that i hadnt even looked at since sept,I dont know now what made me test as i had normal af signs the only thing different was i had had constipation reeally bad (stmi)i was due af on mothers day.Something made me test,it wasnt first morning sample i had been up an hour that morning and practically just ad a drink,but swomething was telling me to test.I did and can remember walkintg out the bathroom saying to myself go on not pregnant as usual.But soon as i clicked it in place under 30 seconds went to pg,must have sat there an hour just looking at result in total shock,i say must have been an hour as result went off and they only stay on for an hour.I have a feeling about you too,and i hope this doesnt sound wierd (im not honest) but i think the same will be for you.x

lol, imagine if we ever meet up, the things we atalk about on hhere that most prob wouldn't talk about to our rl friends ...

but yeh, I reckon I could do a week, if I did a test in the morning I could do it next weekend, that way I don't have to get up with dh at 5:30.

I suppose you have to think about your peace of mind, It is going to be there all the time in the back of your mind, how about a compromise? waiting a week or five days.
I know I said this but I do think you should test when he is with you in the morning instead of either waiting til later or saving the urine then you can have the best quality strong wee (lol) and get him to read it too

but yeh ds was a bit of a surprise - I thought I'd come on but only bled for a day and thought nothing of it till I fainted at work, thought we should test and dh said no but I convinced him and he got me a test on his way home from work as he passed by the chemist and i didn't (to shut me up I think) and turned out it was positive. Sat in shock for weeks and had constant dreams that I saw the midwife and she told me not to be so bloody stupid.

oooh culture vulture peachy :)

Well I'm kinda leaning towards getting a digital as well although i have a feeling my dh will just protest and say that we should wait the two weeks. so some convincing is called for me thinks.

I think I have to agree with debbsy ( well maybe wait a couple more days) and do it when you Dh is around to read it ASAP,
could it be that either your wee isn't strong enough in the evenings or the test has sat aorund which can also make it show different results and... didn't it take a while for Ds to show, wasn't he a bit of a planned surprise?- didn't you faint at work -- sorry too many questions
Hi debbsy how are you?

i have a feeling you should try clearblue digital and do it now.

Wannabe this is quite exciting!
I'm home for a bit, but off out again soon to the theatre- oh the joys of culture in london town!!

clearblue, not digital just the standard ones. one i did was early sunday morning but the other was late at night so it's possible that the sample wasn't concentrated enough, but I do think I should hold out for as long as possible but it's going to kill me! lol

what tests have you done?

how ever am I going to hold out testing for two bloody weeks! this must be what it's like waiting to be sentenced by a judge! lol!

fingers crossed hopingcat

Thanks for that wannabe fingers crossed and count down to AF due date !!

Well we're going to Bristol zoo tomorrow, nothing else planned apart from that
