Lovesthechaos - I generally can't help myself either! My friend, who has also been TTC for 18 months, has never done one! I don't know how she resists!

Thanks Bear I will try, with 3 young lads it's easier said than done but I wouldn't have it any other way Smile

I have decided, just now infact, that i am going to wait until tuesday to POAS , that will be a week before af is due. I may sound neurotic but thats how i feel lol!

Bearface · 24/01/2013 19:33

Thanks guys!

I think if you need to POAS then you need to POAS. Just don't do it too early as it's a waste of money. I'd go for the ICs as you already said. The First Response website does 5 for £8.99 though if you want more of a bargain.

Bummer about your back Loves. Rest up and take care.

Hi Bear its a nerve in my lower back, it will be fine in a few days> it was my own fault for not taking advise and going back to the gym too soon.
Glad to hear you blood test results are clear Smile

Loooooong even at work all I do is count the days.
Good news on your blood test well done bearface

lovesthechaos3 · 24/01/2013 19:26

Yeah they cost a fortune, robbing sods!! I have some internet cheapies hidden away. Really want to wait until af comes/doesn't come but i know there is zero chance of that happening

Bearface · 24/01/2013 19:24

Hi Sparkle and Loves

Sorry to hear you've done your back in Loves - hope it gets better soon. Is it something that can be easily fixed with rest?

I got my blood test results back today and they are fine, so I am really happy! Smile So relieved! Just got DH to do another SA now although hoping he'll be okay as he was just about on the right side of normal last time. Poor love - think he found the stress of it all a bit much last time so he didn't produce as good a sample as he could have or perhaps has done in the past. Blush

How's the waiting coming along Sparkle?

Get the cheap ones first so you don't spend so much then once you get a positive go for first respond to double check. Well that is my plan because they cost so much each time

OP posts:
lovesthechaos3 · 24/01/2013 19:11

Well you will eventually lol, was reading a 'first response' packet today in asda as you do and they said 62% accurate 5 days before first day of missed period and 99% the day before missed period. I will be a test everyday-er as well. It's so nerve racking and exciting at the same time

Sparkle002 · 24/01/2013 18:55

Lol oh dear......I was even thinking of to he'll with it test everyday until then either way I'll find out right?

OP posts:
lovesthechaos3 · 24/01/2013 18:22

well with 50 you can test as much as your heart desires haha!! Keep strong and try and hold off until the 3rd! I am slowly going crazy, this 2ww is rubbish, going really slow. Mainly because I have pulled my back at the gym so my daily routine has gone to shit, too much time on my hands lol!

But I did go on amazon and bought a whole pack of cheap tests.....like 50 in a pack lol lets see how long I hold out for huh

OP posts:
lovesthechaos3 · 24/01/2013 17:46

Have any ladies got any news?

Sparkle, just over a week to go until you test, have you been symptom spotting or are you good at not doing it?

Sparkle002 · 22/01/2013 21:37

Wow bearface I agree with you

OP posts:
lovesthechaos3 · 22/01/2013 21:34

That's really good, i know from some ladies that have posted there are a few that take a long time to get back to normal, whatever that is haha!

Bearface · 22/01/2013 21:33

I've decided that if I ever get a BFP I'm not going back on the pill in between trying as I feel it messes up your hormones too much. I was on it for 14 years - eek! But I spoke to the doctor and he said that the length of time you are on it has nothing to do with your ability to conceive, only with the amount of time it takes to sort out your hormones after coming off it. FX for aeveryone this month.

My period went back to normal the month after I came of the pills and I ovulate every month so I hope it's all plus marks. I fell pregnant with my daughter the very first time without even trying so kind of hoped it will be quick again. But then again it's been 9yrs and I am older now.

OP posts:
lovesthechaos3 · 22/01/2013 21:20

I think it might different with each woman. I missed the pill for literally one day and i got pregnant with my eldest. I've had the coil for the past 5 years, the one with no hormones so nothing has changed for me in that way luckily
