Anyone care to join me for this interminable length of waiting time?! I'm only 1 dpo! Brew

Woke up super early for first morning pee and just stuck a stick in it. Sleepily checked said stick 3 mins later - oh bloody hell, it's a BFP! 1-2 weeks. I just can't believe it!

Writerwannabe83 · 20/07/2013 00:10

I will be POAS in the morning - just like I have done for the previous 4 days Grin

My period is due this weekend so I'm going to keep POAS until either it arrives or I get a BFP Grin

Definitelysometime · 19/07/2013 20:31

Oh rubbish, sorry tea. Still as you say, great news your cycle is back so soon and so regular!

Lux your resolve is admirable! You must test tomorrow! I guess it's unlikely to conceive first month off pill (is it?!). But not impossible - pee on that stick and keep us posted!

Anyone else testing this weekend? I still have another test in the pack and will try to hold out till sun/mon. But, lets be honest, that's unlikely!!

Tea1Sugar · 19/07/2013 12:25

I'm out until next month ladies. Af arrived yesterday but tbh pleased that it came back so quickly as its first month off pill I know it can take ages for some women, so feeling happy in a different kind of way Smile. Fingers crossed cycle 2 is a good'un!

Aw, sorry definitely, it's not over yet for you though!

Af due today, can't make up my mind if I feel like it's coming or not not as it's first month off pill, don't even know how long my cycle is. Was gonna test tomorrow but nervous to, I'm not sure if it's easier not knowing right now and see what happens. I think af arriving would be easier than bfn as I would know that's definitely it for this month.

Definitelysometime · 19/07/2013 07:53

Bollocks. I caved. BFN.

Definitelysometime · 17/07/2013 22:03

Thanks luxlisbon. Still haven't tested and will do my best to hold out till Sunday. I'm sure i would have caved by now had I felt any convincing symptoms but all I have is extreme overheating. Kind of have to let rationality have that one and attribute it to the unbearable lovely warm weather.

Any more testing going on?

Luxlisbon82 · 17/07/2013 08:02

No worries Definitelysometime, been reading up on it as was curious myself.

I think it's a symptom of the pg test you are supposed to be able to do four days early, but if you look on the box the statistics of getting a true result that early are so low. I just think they are are manipulating the hopes of us poor souls.

And many people get no symptoms, everyone is different but the hormones can take a while to start letting you know you are growing something inside you!

Writerwannabe83 · 17/07/2013 07:53

Another BFN this morning Sad

The good news though is that is was the last pregnancy test in the house so I can't be tempted to try again Grin

I'm going to order myself some tests and not test again until they arrive.

My period will probably also have arrived by then too......

Writerwannabe83 · 16/07/2013 23:00

Definitely Someone:

Thanks for the advice - I'm just scared I'm going to get addicted.

I think the test I bought today was faulty though as even after about 2 minutes of peeing nothing happened on the stick - even the control window stayed blank. I had to shake it a little and turn it upside down to get things moving, lol. The Control window then worked but it was a big blank in the Test Window. It was horrible to see actually. Sad

Definitelysometime · 16/07/2013 20:13

Thanks luxlisbon, really helpful. No symptoms at all for me, so I should definitely definitely wait. Am just getting carried away with hope!

Well the window for implantation is big, between 6 & 12 dpo so if you ov'd really early, had a long luteal phase and a v quick implantation there are chances you would get a positive before af, as some women do. This is so much rarer than the more common positive positive only after af is due.

the problem with testing early is you can never count on it as correct if it's a negative and you will have to test again and again as it is not definitive.

This would wind me up into a poas frenzy so I'm keeping well away till af is due, but I totally understand the need to, especially if your body is giving you signs.

Definitelysometime · 16/07/2013 19:13

Sorry to hear that teaandanatter. May August be your month. Nice chilled glass of Rose for you tonight!

Just how early can you test with a glimmer of hope that it's correct? 2 days prior to due AF? 3? None?

writer maybe you need to test early morning for a more accurate result? Not outta the game yet!

Luxlisbon82 · 16/07/2013 18:40

So sorry teaandanatter, hope you are feeling ok and looking forward to next month x

Luxlisbon82 · 16/07/2013 18:38

The af cramps were so bad with my first they ruined an amazing holiday in Barbados, I spent the whole time terrified I was going to come on in a bikini & as I wasn't ttc it took me ages to clock on and do a test weeks later. Oh for the days of ignorance and just discovering you are pg without all the stress and wondering!

TeaAndANatter · 16/07/2013 18:35

I'm over and out for July guys. temps dropped from Friday ish, and the witch got me today, hours after POAES (peeing on an Expensive stick!). It was 5.5 weeks since mc, and 16 days after ov, so I though it was hopeful (despite the lowered temps), but it was not to be! See some of you on similar threads next month ;-)

Tea1Sugar · 16/07/2013 18:06

Thanks Smile iirc with dd who was conceived on the pill, I only got a bfp 5 days after my pill withdrawal bleed was due and I had loadsss of Af-like cramps in the lead-up!

OP posts:
Luxlisbon82 · 16/07/2013 17:54

Ah guys, most of tests are rubbish at picking up early and 8/10 dpo is still early, some people don't even implant till 12 dpo therefore you wouldn't have any symptoms or release hcg for a few days yet and even then it would be low levels and poss not even pick up then!

I've had friends who have had to wait a week or 2 after af to get a positive, so don't get downhearted, you're still in with a chance- good luck.

Writerwannabe83 · 16/07/2013 17:23

I just POAS - I have no idea, maybe because it was sitting there in my bathroom, looking at me.

I'm 8dpo and BFN.

So I'm not feeling very hopeful either :( x

Tea1Sugar · 16/07/2013 17:08

Think I'm about for July. Poas today 10dpo and bfn. I'll test again on thurs if no Af but had cramps today so doubtful

OP posts:
Writerwannabe83 · 16/07/2013 07:55

Currently on CD 25 and my period is due on Sunday which I'm pretty sure will arrive.

I'm not having any early pregnancy signs - no implantation bleed, no sore boobs, no sickness etc etc. In fact, I don't feel any different to how I normally feel.

Sad Quite disheartening really.....

Luxlisbon82 · 15/07/2013 22:49

Wow kittycat, I admire your dedication, hope you are rewarded for it!

I'm due af on Friday so just assumed I would test if I'm late, are tests really going to pick up anything before? I'm a bit out of touch as dc' s are 9 and 11 and pg testing in my twenties meant waiting till you were late?!

Definitelysometime · 15/07/2013 19:51

Evening all. Happy St Swithin's Day (40 days of sunshine ahead - hurrah!). How's the 2ww progressing for everyone? Slowwwwwwly?

AF due for me on Monday (22nd) but doubt I'll make it that long! No symptoms at all here though, so I'm not holding out much hope...
