Anyone testing around the 25th?

No, I won't tell him.

The last time I fell pregnant it was awful, he didn't believe a faint line, made me wait and re test a few days later and then got in a mood because I'm not psychic and didn't realise he'd had a bad day at work. It ruined it for me completely and made me desperately sad.

I am keeping it to myself for now, after my mc last time, nothing is going to ruin this for me, not even him.

Oh poopy that's brilliant news! Congratulations!! Have you told DH yet? Try not to feel to anxious, I know you had such an awful experience but it does not mean you are at any more risk than any other pregnant lady of that happening again. And they say that the more symptoms you are experiencing the better in terms of risk of mc - sounds like you have been feeling really grotty which is good (iykwim!). Hopefully there will be at least one or two more bfps from this thread to keep you company and in the meantime we are all here if you are feeling anxious or worried
Try to enjoy - its such an exciting time!

No my cycles are always a few days late early (mostly early) never 6 days late and never get back pain and I woke with it pretty bad, back is still hurting , but no cramps today , I had both when I was pregnant with my son , its just a waiting game now x

I caved.

I was in superdrug at 9am buying suncream for ds and I walked past the pregnancy tests.

So I bought a first response, based on the fact that I feel so tired I could go back to bed and sleep all day and that I have lost 5lbs in weight over the weekend and have been starving.

I have a faint line . It's not one of those 'hold it up under a florescent light and you can see it' faint, it's properly there, visible in all light lol, light pink.

Mixed feelings, as I know I have no problem falling pregnant, just staying pregnant.

Oh cupcake that sucks. Still if you haven't had AF yet then maybe there is still a chance? If not I bet there will be enough of us left at the end of this week to keep each other company next month!
X that is weird - are your cycles normally very regular?
Pixie that all sounds very promising!!
Still really crampy here, so annoying and am veering between telling myself there is still a chance until AF arrives and convincing myself that it's all over for this month. It's such a rollercoaster!
Poopy have you managed to resist poas?

Newbie here, can I join? This is only our first cycle of TTC but I have classic early pg symptoms (cramping for the past week or so, nausea, constipation, bleeding gums and just generally feeling rather out of sorts!). I'm trying to keep telling myself it's early days and the chances of a BFP this month are slim but I can't help getting carried away!

AF is due on Friday but as I'm going away for the weekend I'm planning to POAS on Thursday

Yes, doctor for a blood test would be a good idea. It's very strange!

I don't know I'm really confused, I don't know what to think , I have more tests coming in the post , so that will be a few days if still negative , doctors it is ! X

Oh no cupcake, I'm sorry. Do you think af is imminent then? And xwonderingx I wonder what is going on there then?!

Hey , woke with back pain , feel slightly sick but I don't know if that because of worry I just just don't know whats going on, just tested bfn :( now 6days late x

BFN for me good luck everyone else!

Cupcake - fingers crossed for you!

I am indeed testing tomorrow. Not feeling very positive so the luck is much appreciated thanks! :)

Oh Shreddies that's rubbish :( On to the next cycle - hope it's a lucky one for you!

I cracked and did a test this morning... negative

Not due AF til Tue, I have the cheapo tests that give you the % accuracy for day before period due, 2, 3 days before etc. So today, 2 days before, 87% of pregnant women would get a positive. So I think I'm out for this month, but fingers crossed for you all!

AF is due tomorrow, I really felt like it was going to come yesterday but it didn't and I haven't really had any period pains today. I feel deep down that I'm not too but I think I'll do the test tomorrow just so I know either way.

X - 5 days late is exciting!

Doctor - here's to hoping our bodies are playing tricks on us!

Hi X! 5 days late, sounds very promising!!
Poopy I would try to resist testing tomorrow if I were you - if you get a negative you still won't know for sure and will be left in limbo.
I've had pretty standard period pains today so feel quite sure AF is on its way. Trying to hold on to the hope that I might be pg still but deep down am pretty sure I'm not. Keep telling myself it's not over till its over though!!

hi im new to can I join. I was due to test tomorrow [22nd] but couldn't wait till then, I tested on thursday and got a BFP.

5 days late sorry x

Hi I'm new can I join :) I'm 5 days but crampy AMD back pain , but i did with my son who's 3 , 4 negative test , will test again on a few days time xx

Cupcake, I hope so. Obviously, I spent an enormous amount of time googling them!

However, I don't feel like death warmed up like I did at this point the last time, so I am still not sure. Last time my boobs were sore to the point that they would wake me in the night if I turned over. They are not that sore this time, only if I brush against them or when I take my bra off.

I am feeling horribly bloated though and I just feel a bit strange.

I was starving yesterday and friday though, which is unusual as I low carb so I am never ravenous like that.

It would be awful to test tomorrow, wouldn't it? I know it would probably be negative and I would spent the first day of ds school holiday feeling down when I should be enjoying some time with him.

Life - I've had really sore boobs but I get that every month too. I've also felt a bit sicky and tired but I've got an upset tummy at the moment so all tummy aches etc can be attributed to that.

Poopy - those pains sound promising!
