Hiya I'm POAS on wednesday (June 5th) anyone else testing this week?

AF is 12 days late but regularly irregular hence leaving it this long to test.

This is month 5 cycle 3 of TTC however DP is in the Military and works away so May was the first time this year we've actually managed to dtd when In my fertile window. (although because of irregular AF finding fertile window isn't always easy).

Good Luck to anyone else testing this week hope you all get a BFP Smile

Ooo that's sounds promising Disney Smile keep us updated.

Catherine lol iv seen your other thread. Why don't you save yourself a small fortune and leave it a week so your be pretty sure your AF is late.

Hey Tri, iv got quite a few things against me conceiving as well but hoping im lucky and it happens anyway - and soon!

I managed to get through the night without POAS determined to make it to tomorrow. Although I think I'm putting it off to avoid seeing a bfn Hmm at the moment whilst AF is 13 days late I can hope Smile

ok, Im in too.

There's so much going against us conceiving so I'm not too hopeful but...I'm poas on Thursday, Saturday and Monday and all the days in between.

Good luck everyone! Smile

Theoretically af is due on Sunday for me. I'm just off hormonal contraception too so I'm in the same boat as Catherine and I'm not quite sure when af is due although I definitely am not expecting her much before Sunday.

I've got sore boobs and sensitive nipples although this seems to come and go, really thirsty but can only sip water as it's starting to make me feel bit sick this afternoon and pretty sure I'm peeing more than normal for all I've drank but it is probably all in my head. Have definitely been feeling randomly breathless just sitting at my desk, although this is something I have had before and Dr put down to viral infection.

Pg tests are winging their way to me through Royal Mail so I have to hold out till they arrive but hopefully it'll be a BFP when they do!

I've poas twice today 3 times since Saturday. Might try again tomorrow, might hold off till Thursday. I really don't know when AF is due as this is my first cycle since coming off hormonal contraception. I'm getting quite impatient now on CD31, which I'm sure you wouldn't have noticed had I not pointed it out.

Hiya, I just went to Sainsbury's and whilst there picked up a cheapy test in anticipation Smile going to try not use it until Wednesday which isn't going to be easy.

I havnt had the obvious symptoms but I didn't with DS either until I got to 6/7 weeks. I had a few things that could be classed as signs last week but nothing this week (apart from missing AF).

Iv just been to the park with 3 friends one of which is 13 weeks pregnant and one who has decided to start trying this month. So we pretty much spent 2 hours talking about getting pregnant and babies. I'm surrounded by it at the moment. My best friend is 16 weeks and we are going for dinner Wednesday night, not sure if I should POAS Thursday as if I do it Wednesday & get a bfn I'm not going to enjoy talking about her pregnancy all night. Iv done a count there are 12 pregnant women on my Facebook at the moment, I just want to be number 13 Smile

Hopefully we'l all get positives this week - then we could turn this thread into an antenatal one Grin

Maybe thats a sign then gin Grin

Ive been feeling really sick yesterday and today. That was the first thing that i had with ds and prompted me to do the test. But going by last month it could just be a pre af symptom. She's not arrived yet tho so fx!

Hi BartBaby. Last week could definitely have been too early - it's not over till AF shows.

I'm desperately trying not to symptom spot as I know my normal PM symptoms are quite like early pregnancy (sore boobs/slight nausea). The only thing I've noticed is that I haven't actually felt sick this month...

BartBaby · 03/06/2013 10:19

Hi ladies Smile can i join? Technically i did poas last week and got bfn but AF is only due today so im hoping it was just too early. Going to try and leave it a few days and then poas again if af not turned up by then.

Were ttc #2, cycle 2 so still early days i suppose, but that doesnt make it feel any better!

Have you's got any 'symptoms'? I must have them all imaginary or not i dont know Lol. Feel sick and sore boobs are the main ones, but im sure i felt like this last month aswell so trying not to get too hopeful Blush

GinRickey · 03/06/2013 10:04

I need a bit of a handhold please!

I had a MMC 9 months ago and have been just shagging ever since, getting slightly annoyed with my short cycles (seemed to have settled down to 24 days). I thought there was no chance this cycle as I've been working away for most of it and have no idea, not a single clue, when or whether I o'd. And now... I'm late. CD26 and no sign. If I get to Wednesday I will test.
